6 o'clock on a Wednesday night and almost nobody was there. The food portions were big but the food itself was pretty subpar. However, our waitress was very pleasant.

It makes my blue collar heart (and belly) happy when you get exactly what is advertised.

Lots of folks have been trashing Bruff's Bar & Grill. Most without any industry experience or any idea about what it takes to run a business let alone a restaurant.

I saw my industry colleagues were running a crazy special tonight. Only $12.00 for a Hearty 🥩 Steak Bites dinner. Thought I’d eat something I didn’t cook for a change.

Long work day, then i got sidetracked and didn’t get in the shower soon enough. Walked in the door at 9:06. 😬 🤦🏻‍♂️ I was politely greeted by energetic service staff who popped into the kitchen and returned with GREAT NEWS! The kitchen was excited to stay open to serve me.

Room was a comfortable temperature and the music was clear and at the appropriate volume to facilitate conversation. I looked over the menu as the bartender raced off to get my my salad. Lots of exciting new things on the menu. And most of my old favorites still offered. Salad arrived quickly and this wasn’t your standard factory bag iceberg mix it was fresh rommaine hand cut today. (iykyk)

Just as I was finishing up my salad they brought out a massive platter of tender juicy 🥩 steak bites suateed with copious amounts of Carmalized onion 🧅 and fresh mushrooms 🍄‍🟫. 🤤 accompanied by a generous side of homeade mashed potatoes and all smothered in that good brown gravy the likes of which Joe Diffie sang about. Rounded out with a warm fresh dinner roll, I couldn’t wait to dig in.

Holy smokes!! What a meal! I stuffed myself and I still had to box half of it up to take home.

I found the entire experience quite pleasant. I would have easily paid twice what I did for half the portions. I recommend giving them a visit. Don’t take my word for it. Come see for yourself. I’ll be back, maybe I’ll see you there!!!

Sports bar with good food and big screen television. The menu options aren't as good as it used to be but it is still pretty good.

The food was great and they did not ruin the sweet potato fries like some places do, and good dipping choices. Very friendly server. I even asked the to put college volleyball on, and they did!

We had a company lunch today and I was very impressed with the service. We brought 25 plus people in and they had a table set up for us when we arrived. The food was excellent no complaints from anyone at this giant table 🙏and how fast they served us blew my mind. Thank you bruff’s for that awesome service and excellent experience.👏👏👏we definitely will be back every time we have a meeting in Emporia. You all should be proud of what you did for us. Thank you so much 🙏

I really try and like this place but every time I go in, I am disappointed. But they are still getting my business so oh well. I feel like most of the good reviews come from regulars who get great service. I cant say I have had that experience ever coming in here. Lastly the chicken fried steak tasted like it came from a tv dinner which sucks because that is what I was most excited for. Fried pickles were great though.

My husband and I hamburgers were very blackened to the point that we couldn’t eat them. The fries were very good though.
The waitress was very nice.

Very expensive for bar food. Service was slow and the food was disgusting. Ordered steak bites and they were rotten. Had to spit them out.
