The Sacramento region just made room for another fast-casual eatery — and this one features a unique twist on fried chicken and waffles.
Bruxie will hold its grand opening on Saturday at 500 First St., Suite 9, in the Davis Commons shopping center, according to a June 20 news release from the franchise.
It’s the first Northern California location for the Southern California-based chain, which has sites across the state and in Georgia.
“The city of Davis embodies a vibrant community spirit and a passion for quality dining experiences,” Bruxie Davis partner Kevin Massie wrote in the release.
“Our commitment to innovative flavors and exceptional service aligns perfectly with the values of this community,” he added.

What is Bruxie? Where are locations?
Bruxie describes itself as a destination for folks seeking a reimagined version of the classic chicken-and-waffle combo.
Known for its crispy chicken tenders, custard shakes and sweet and savory waffle sandwiches, the fast-casual eatery franchise was founded in Orange in 2010 by two chefs, according to Linkedin.
Bruxie currently has a total of 11 locations across California and Georgia.
“We are thrilled to finally bring Bruxie to the community of Davis,” Bruxie CEO Scott Grinstead wrote in the release.
“We’re excited to be a part of the Davis culinary scene and serve our unique menu to this community,” he added.
