    “A classic American diner with counter top dining. Tried thier Drew Bees and root beer on a frosty mug. More than the food this place is for the vibes, people siting opposite of me had apparently driven hundreds of miles to eat at this place, almost everyone in this place seemed to have a sense of nostalgia. Overall if you are in west Lafayette/ Purdue make it a point u visit this diner. Overall 10/10 recommended”

    “****Edit: Somehow my "does NOT recommend" was changed to "recommends". I do NOT recommend for group gatherings.*** I made a reservation for a work party and was told they do not like to book reservations on Friday nights, especially for parties larger than 12. That was right around what I was expecting; although, I may have had a few more. I made sure to get RSVPs from folks so I could pivot to a different location and cancel, if necessary. We ended up having 11 folks total in our party, so it worked out. The Bryant sent me a text the day before the reservation to ask that we keep the reservation limited to 2 hours or less (this would have been nice to know when I had booked ~3 weeks prior). Move to the day of: I got there around 20 minutes early thinking they could seat me at the table, if it was ready, or at least seat me right at 6 pm, since that was the time the reservation was for. The hostess informed me that they would not seat me until at least half of my party was there; so, I went to the bar area and had a drink while I waited for other folks to arrive. The bar staff was friendly and prompt. I closed out my tab for the one drink and moved back to the hostess area around 5:50, when I expected other folks to start arriving. I sat on the couch, and the first few folks started trickling in. I informed them of what I was told, and we waited until there were 7 of us there before I approached and told the hostess that over half of us were present (around 5:59). There was another woman at the hostess stand, whom I'm assuming was a manger with the way she was moving about the establishmen, who asked me when I expected the rest of our party to arrive. I told her I expected everyone there within a few minutes. She informed me that they would start getting waters on the table and then they would seat us. I found this a little odd; but, it wasn't a deal breaker. We ended up being seated about 10 minutes after our reservation was scheduled for. Again, I am flexible and understand that plans might need adjustments from time to time. Maybe they hadn't put the tables together yet, for all I knew. We got seated and the waitress got our drink and appetizer orders in. The waitress did a good job taking care of the large party and did what I needed her to with the bill (splitting it into two bills). Our food was delicious and the drinks were good. She was observant and was quick to get boxes for us as meals were finished. There were a couple desserts ordered: they arrived quickly and were delicious. Plates were being cleared around 7:50. A few folks may have wanted to order another drink or two; however, the lady manager proceeded to stop at our table around 7:53 to tell us they had another reservation at 8 and we needed to leave. Had they not delayed seating us and gave us a full 2 hours, I likely would not be leaving this review. I found the management rude for the amount of money that they were making in the hour and 45 minutes that we were there (over $550 was spent). In my opinion, kicking customers out of a dining establishment is not a good way to keep business. Although the wait staff and food was overall good, I do not intend on booking another group event at The Bryant: nor can I recommend it to anyone looking to book larger group events.”

  • John Purdue Room 900 West State Street Suite 101, West Lafayette American · $$

    900 West State Street Suite 101, West Lafayette

    “Probably the best ambience at West Lafayette. The restaurant is well decorated and well organized, feels like high end. The servers are basically Purdue students and they were very professional, prompt and welcoming. Definitely some place where you should come with out of town/state date to impress them. All their offerings are 3 course meals. A salad or soup, an entree and a dessert. I tried their salad, Atlantic cod fish with some veggies and fresh fruit as the salad. I verified from the server that they don’t use alcohol to cook. They had some interesting desserts, but did not try from concern of non-halal ingredients. Their food taste was overall good but the portions are not enough. I was hungry even after lunch.”

    “From the time we enter and were seated (immediately) to the end of our meal (we were a party of 5), this was a great experience. Having such a warm and welcoming environment like this so close to Purdue's campus is really great! Kenna was our server. If we could give her 10 stars we would have! She did a great job of giving us friendly and timely service and keeping our coffee cups full! She was cheerful, kind and welcoming without being intrusive.. Grateful for Kenna's great service!”

    “They have a good choice of two soups each day that comes with a roll. Too many American food places give you too much food for too much money. The daily special looks interesting, but I have not tried it as I am not that hungry at lunchtime.”

    “We just moved to town from the Chicago area and stopped in for a drink at the Clubhouse bar. The highlight of our time there was the super friendly bartender, Selena! She told us her favorite dishes at the Clubhouse and then went into very detailed descriptions of the upstairs Boilerhouse Prime dishes. She described them so well we could almost taste what she was sharing with us. We will come back to have a nice meal upstairs but will have a difficult time choosing which dish to try first as she shared so many great details. Although we only had a snack of the homemade chips at the bar, they were far superior to other restaurant homemade chips.Selena is a special server and management should know that have a loyal, friendly, welcoming team member who takes pride in this place! Just fantastic!!”
