About

On January 16 1989 Tim Bruno opened the red doors of Bruno's to a few customers who didn't know what to expect. Occupying the site of the old Dew Drop Inn located on the corner of Germantown and Northwestern Avenue in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania. It took six months to undergo a complete overhaul of the interior, from the counter, stools and ice cream soda fountain, down to the wooden booths. As with some of our customers the Wurlizter Jukebox has been with us since day one. Today Bruno's continues to offer a unique, satisfying and affordable dining experience, while maintaining some of the vintage charm that makes the restaurant memorable and the food incomparable. Bruno's has become a modern restaurant experience with an awareness of what contemporary dining should be. Our mission is simple. To serve excellent food made with fresh high quality ingredients while providing friendly attentive service. Have breakfast lunch or dinner inside at the counter or in one of our old fashioned booths. Dine outside on our patio overlooking the park. Whichever you choose were sure you'll enjoy our fresh food and caring personal service.

They ran out of Chicken for all of the main entrees so we were limited to Sandwich and Salad choices. Unfortunately most in the party were looking for entrees. The shakes were watery - not thick. Service a little slow. Items came sporatically - a few we even needed to remind them we hadn't received yet. Overall not bad - prices surprisingly were quite pleasing which was a pleasant surprise.

Food was reasonably priced and it was a nice serving size, including the fresh side salad. The Buffalo wings had little to no spicy, but were fried very nicely if you like a crispy crust, which I do. My husband said his chicken cheesesteak was pretty good, but my pasta was a bit bland. The one complaint that I have are our two wine glasses came out smeared and greasy. It made me want to ask for a paper cup, but instead I asked for hot water and clean them myself. Overall I would return and try something other than pasta for my entree. Read more Read less

While the restaurant is dated and the service was slow (but friendly servers who seemed to be doing their best dealing with the mess in the kitchen), the main reason for the poor review is that the food was among the worst my family and I have experienced. There were issues with all of our entrees and the table next to us walked out when their chicken steak had raw chicken. Regarding the food, the meatballs served with their spaghetti were well beyond their expiration date. I ordered tomato spinach soup that was brown with no spinach and the taste was bland and unidentifiable as tomato. It tasted like watered-down gravy. The broth in their chicken noodle soup tasted like I would imagine dishwater would taste and I would have much preferred Campbell's condensed soup. Our food was so bland it was almost inedible. The servers were friendly enough but we left puzzled as to why the restaurant was even half full on a Saturday night. If any restaurant could use a visit from chefs Gordon Ramsey or Robert Irvine, this is it! Read more Read less

I think I was there 10 years ago or longer, so was expecting more of a nicer ambiance. It looked a bit dumpy, unfortunately. The food was mediocre. We had potato skins but the only thing on them was bacon. Potato skins ALWAYS have cheese and green onions and come with sour cream. The pasta dishes ordered were heavily laden with cream sauces that might have been better with more thoughtful seasonings. Most of the food ordered had similar shortcomings - improper preparation, not enough seasoning, not the expected accompaniments, etc. Read more Read less
