| - Probably a 4.5 star review, but not 5. Very strong lunch at Bruxie on a Friday afternoon around 1. The line was almost out the door, but it goes pretty quickly. I was with a group of friends, so we decided to share some items. We went with the original sandwich, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, the cheesy waffle fries, the mac and cheese, and the Irish nachos. To drink, I got the strawberry lemonade.
The food took about 10 minutes to arrive. Service is great, they bring the food out to you and were very quick to pick up clean dishes or offer refills. Everyone was friendly as well, fantastic in that regard.
Of the sandwiches, I strongly preferred the Nashville hot chicken to the original. The Nashville hot chicken is bade with a fried chicken thigh versus the chicken breast that the original contains. The thigh was thicker and juicier than the breast, which wasn't dry but twas close to it. Additionally, the sauce on the Nashville sandwich was strong. It wasn't super hot but it had a bit of heat with it. The sauce and shredded pickles went well with it. This sandwich was far superior to the original.
The waffles are light, airy, with a slight crispiness to them. The syrup was very good, thick with lots of maple flavor. I may get just waffles with chicken strips next time rather than a sandwich, they were very good.
On the sides, the waffle fries are basic and lightly seasoned. The cheese sauce is also pretty basic, but it's good. The Irish nachos are large, imminently shareable. They are LOADED with toppings: bacon, cheese, sour cream, chives. They were good, if not a little messy. I preferred these to the cheesy fries.
The mac and cheese is made with bacon, and you can definitely taste the bacon. The cheese sauce is largely cheddar-based. It was a classic bacon and cheddar mac and cheese. The noodles weren't overcooked as well, they retained some bite.
The strawberry lemonade is sweet, but not overly so. You can taste both lemon and strawberries as well, all of us enjoyed it. And, if you are so inclined you can get a shot or two added to it.
Bruxie is a nice addition for The Park, there's outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. I would absolutely come back on future trips to Vegas.
