A little bit expensive for the quality of food and service.

Stopped by BryAnna’s for dinner and had the Pepián de Pollo with rice and tortillas—rich, flavorful, and comforting. The horchata was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly. Only downside was the wait time was a bit longer than expected, but the food made up for it. Definitely a spot worth checking out for authentic Guatemalan cuisine

Pulled up to BryAnna’s for dinner and was honestly impressed. Got the pepián de pollo with rice and tortillas, plus a horchata—came out to about $22. The stew was rich and flavorful, real home-cooked vibe. Horchata was solid too. Only knock is the wait was kinda long, even tho it wasn’t packed. But the food made up for it. Cool little Guatemalan spot worth checking out.

I dont know what to say man, I had quite high expectations. Everything about this place is a no - the food would be decent if I didnt find hair on the food. The server is really mean and rude, I dont think serving attitude because you are tired is acceptable. NEVER AGAIN. Shoulda seen the reviews before going.

As someone who truly loves and appreciates well-prepared oxtails, I was excited to find Bryanna’s Restaurant while in Chicago. I'm always on the hunt for tender, flavorful oxtails—meat that falls off the bone with rich, seasoned gravy. Briana’s had solid reviews and boasted Guatemalan and Salvadoran traditional cuisine, so I was hopeful and eager to try it.

I ordered the oxtails, which were served with steamed cabbage, rice, and sweet potato yams, along with a vegetarian pupusa filled with zucchini and cheese. Let me start by saying—the pupusa was the highlight of the meal. It was warm, cheesy, and had a nice balance of flavor and texture.

Now, the oxtails... as a self-proclaimed oxtail connoisseur, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. What I received was far from acceptable for the price I paid: just three small bones with a few shreds of meat, mostly gristle, and minimal substance. The flavor wasn’t memorable, and it certainly didn’t deliver on the rich, spiced experience I was hoping for based on the restaurant’s theme and reviews.

The sides were just okay—nothing special or particularly worth mentioning. For a place that shows promise with cultural authenticity, the portion size and quality of the oxtail dish fell well below standard. I’ll be disputing this charge through my credit card company due to how unsatisfactory it was.

In all fairness, the pupusa saved this from being a one-star review, but overall, I can only give Bryanna’s two stars. Disappointed, and unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

The delicious food is the best, we always go for more than an hour but the last time we felt discriminated against, we went on a Saturday, there were 4 of us and we sat at a table that was for two people but there were two tables joined together and suddenly the waitress, one with glasses I don't know what her name was, took away a table from us, took it away and left us with just one table and those tables are for two, we felt very uncomfortable because in the restaurant there were people who occupied 2 tables and because they left us with one and We ate everything in a very uncomfortable pile and we finished and they never used the table they took from us. The waitress had glasses and we felt very discriminated against because there were a lot of tall people and they made us look down. It's the first time in 12 years that I've been there, I'll never go back, but the food is the best...

Went with my daughter today to celebrate her win at her wrestling competition and we really enjoyed the pupusas con queso y frijoles as well as the Guatemalan coffee !!! . The restaurant has a lovely appeal to it with it's many Guatemalan type art work displays along with the color scheme. Service was prompt and caring . Will definitely love to arrange my daughters quinceñera there when the time comes !!!

First time here. Service was really good. They accommodated one of our parties specific requests. Appetizers and main course were tasty and the proportions were perfect.
