Bougey's Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Brookfield

I learned that the proper way to say this place is “BO-gee”, but no matter how I said it, the food here is lovely. One thing I noticed here is the homey atmosphere that brings a coziness even when it’s full of people. It just has that vibe. The food SLAPS. Order your wings grilled and thank me someday. Though I don’t normally care for Reuben sandwiches, their Smoked Reuben got my attention and KEPT it. Fabulous! They have a weekly Italian beef sandwich special (only once a week), and it’s best to get here as soon as they open since they can sell out. Being from Chicago I am picky about my Italian beef and this place nailed it. I could drink the au jus straight out of the cup like a cocktail…it was that good. The owner is a warmhearted man, the bartenders are great, and the cooks are on POINT. One thing to note is that when you approach this place (the street is VERY busy), give yourself some space to slow down because it’s a tight turn into the parking lot (parking is plentiful once you enter). I definitely wanna come back, and you may say the same once you...

My wife and I went Friday evening for dinner and wanted to try a new place. It wasn't a bad experience, but there were a couple nit-pik things.

It's definately more bar than grill - there were two people/bartenders for the entire place, and they were busy enough at the bar they were pretty rushed to get meals out to tables. Understandable, not their fault, but for a Friday night, they needed more staff.

Food was decent - burger was cooked as I ordered it, and served on a nicely toasted bun. Closest comparison would be a Culver's burger, but this was a nice bit bigger. My wife had the chicken cordon blue sandwich, which she liked.

The place was pretty loud. The music wasn't very loud, but there were a number of groups between the bar, playing darts, pool, etc, that the volume was up there, so I wouldn't go in expecting a quiet bar and grill atmosphere on a Friday or Saturday night.

Prices were pretty comparable to the area - for two drinks, meals, and an appetizer, we...

Generous portions of food...and none of it was good. I had jalapeno cheese curds, and there was nothing great about them. Tasted like all breading. Couldn't taste the jalapeno. I also had the mushroom and swiss burger and some onion rings. Onion rings were overly salty and didn't taste like onion rings. The burger didn't really taste cheesy at all. And the food gave me indigestion throughout the night. The service was fine. The time to wait was reasonable. I give out mostly 4 and 5-star reviews, so this is rare and something is up if I do. This seemed like a place for the local townies to come to. The drunks were outside cursing and swearing loudly about their problems, also taking away from my experience. Plenty of other places serve exactly the same food and do a better job of it. I'd go...
