Bruxie, Las Vegas

3782 South Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV

The land between New York New York hotel and Monte Carlo hotel has been revamped due to the addition of the T-Mobile Arena. This pedestrian-friendly outdoor space (named The Park) is lined with new restaurants. One of them is Bruxie, a California-based eatery from which they claim the chicken and waffle sandwich originated ("The Original Fried Chicken and Waffle Sandwich").

W and I came here for a lunch visit. We chose one savoury and one sweet sandwich to share.

Backyard BBQ Chicken Waffle Sandwich - Double-dipped fried chicken, Carolina BBQ sauce, cheddar, crispy onion straws, cider slaw

The Backyard BBQ Chicken Waffle Sandwich was their featured special that day. When it came to the table, we could barely see the waffle underneath! This was jam-packed with pieces of fried chicken that had been tossed in a tangy BBQ sauce, then stopped with cheese, slaw, and the super yummy crispy onions...mmm yum!

The waffle wasn't what we expected though. The waffles at Bruxie were thinner and more crispy than the usual buttermilk or Liege waffles. However, it held up to the filling and didn't become soggy from all that sauce. Still, the chicken and waffle sandwich was pretty messy to eat!

Creme Brulee Waffle Sandwich - with seasonal fruit

My absolute favourite was the Creme Brulee Waffle! My mouth just salivates thinking about it! The waffle has been slathered with a vanilla custard, sprinkled with sugar and torched until brown and crunchy. Then, fresh strawberries were placed in the middle before closing up the sandwich. Oh my goodness, the soft but crispy waffle + the bruleed custard + fresh strawberries = best combination EVERRR!! 

Green Eggs and Ham - grilled ham, melted cheddar, two large eggs, mayo, arugula pesto

Before our flight back home, we stopped by Bruxie for breakfast. The whimsical name caught my attention so I chose the Green Eggs and Ham waffle sandwich as our savoury item and, of course, I couldn't resist ordering the Creme Brulee waffle sandwich again. 

The flavours of the breakfast waffle was pretty typical. I was surprised that the arugula pesto was not as pungent as I thought it'd be. Overall, the sandwich was tasty but we were not "wow-ed" by it.

Obviously, the creme brulee waffle was, once again, a superstar in my books!! It was made with strawberries again so I'm not sure what other seasonal fruit would be used during other times. They should just stick with the strawberries forever LOL...

Aside from In 'n Out, Bruxie is now one of our must go-to places when visiting Vegas!
