Bandit
7.8
Bandit turns brunch into a full-on scene with a DJ, bottomless cocktails, and comfort-heavy plates served in a bar-forward space. It’s less about quiet conversation and more about big portions, shareable plates, and a party atmosphere that runs well into the afternoon.

Chicken & Waffles with honey chili glaze, Short Rib Benedict with salsa verde, Cinnamon Roll with cream cheese frosting

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a fun, social hang than an intimate first date — the DJ and party vibe dominate the room.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect waits during peak brunch hours — larger groups should always book ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for young kids during brunch — the energy skews adult, loud, and party-focused.
Best For
Better for: High-energy brunch with drinks, music, and big comfort-food portions where the vibe leads the experience.
Skip if: You want quiet conversation, chef-driven brunch, or extensive dietary-restriction accommodations.
