The food was amazing. It was the host and waitress that made this review not a five star. The guy that sat us acted surprised to see us and when we said we had reservations he said “of course you do” He sat us in the bar where we waited 15 mins for our waitress to come. She was in the kitchen having a detailed conversation about her night the night before. We could hear her laughing and talking to the other waitress. We ordered the Fish Tacos, Hot Wings, lobster Mac and cheese, and the proper burger with fancy fries. Everything was amazing especially the burger. I ordered medium and would say it was rare but still delicious we also had the dessert which was ok.

Stopped here on a whim and so glad we did. We got here just as they opened so it wasn’t crowded at all, and service was fast and friendly, thank you Caroline V! Coffee was hot and good. The proper burger was excellent, and the fries were very good. The chicken and waffles were so good, the sausage came as breaded fried patties, the fresh ground cumin flavor really came through, and the waffles were fluffy and perfect. There’s street parking and a parking lot. There are dining options inside and outside. We sat inside and enjoyed the chill mood music. There’s a large beer selection that we’re looking forward to sampling next time we come here. 10/10 recommend!

I enjoyed my experience at Avenues Proper. The food and service was good. I was there at an office time, so me and the person I was with were the only ones there. That’s the way I like it. I’d definitely recommend going.

Overall, I love the Avenues Proper. It is one of the gems of the avenues. It’s a great place for an afternoon lunch and drink or a cozy dinner. I have noticed over the years, the pass-through rate of its servers and receptionists. I think this is indicative of all the struggles that restaurants have in finding and keeping good staff. But with that said, this place is notorious, at least for me, who frequents it often, for making you wait forever at their empty receptionists desk—wait for somebody, anybody! to seat you. Today, for example, my wife and I stood there for nearly 10 minutes before we finally left. If this were the only time, I wouldn’t be writing this, but this has happened to me now at least the past four times I’ve gone there. If you are on a tight schedule, you might want to think about going someplace else. That is what we had to do today, which was unfortunate.

Jess greeted me at the door. She was upbeat and lively. I enjoyed personality. She sat me at my table and sent my waiter over to take my drink order. Once my date arrived we had ordered the Kung po cauliflower and the squash sandwich. Both were delicious and something id never had before. Jess came back to check in on us and was just as nice and funny the second time. I enjoyed my time there and will be back.

We went here for dinner over Labor Day weekend with the whole family (kids ages 6 and 2). We have visited before, as it’s pretty close to our house, but it had been a year or so. The food was pretty good! Not spectacular, and similar feedback from last time. The fried mushrooms mostly just tasted like the batter. The cauliflower was very good, loved the sauce! Steak and frites was fine – steak was a little fatty/chewy but cooked well and the way I asked. Fries were yummy and seasoned well. Loved the butter on the steak. The burger was okay, but my husband said the version he had at Proper Burger downtown was better. The little ones split the kids’ waffles and loved the fruit, but for some reason said the syrup tasted funny (yes! Kids complained about a sugary syrup!). I think this was because it was infused with an herb. I suspect adults would appreciate this more. Service was fine. Our waitress was attentive and listened. We sat outside on the patio and it was a nice, quiet evening. We would go back.

This is a great spot to meet up and have a brunch and a beer. We had a young child with us so the dining area chatter was enough that kiddo noise was not out of place. The dishes we ordered were presented well, but the lack of depth of flavor in the gravy dishes made them a bit bland. The chilaquiles were very spicy, great flavor, but the dish couldn’t be finished due to the heat level. No complaints from the French toast or kids waffle. I absolutely would go back, but ask for hot sauce to perk up my pork chop and eggs. The pork chop was no different than a chicken fried steak IMO, delicious, but a bit “mild”. I had the second breakfast oatmeal stout. It was quite dark like I wanted but had a bitter profile that outweighed any notes of chocolate and other things they listed on the menu.

Warm atmosphere. Tasty beer.
Our server was super friendly and hospitable
Speaking of hospitals, the food tastes like it could be served in one
The Proper Dip was tasteless, bland, 2/3 the size of an adult sandwich.
Extremely disappointing I feel I was robbed for the price unfortunately.
Love the beer but would not eat here again even if it was free. I was with 5 other people who all agreed the food was surprisingly bad.
Tastes like they just back the Sodexho truck up to the kitchen and plate it up. Sad.

Consistently soggy fries. Chicken sandwich not too shabby. Chicken patty is crispy (surprisingly). I dont think they know how to fry fries. Not the 1st time. Last time i came it was the same issue. They fried up some fresh ones, but this took about 15 minutes–chicken sammy cold, cause i waited for damn fries. Also a tad salty. Ask for light salt if youre gonna order their famous soggy fries.

Okay so we tried to go to Avenue’s Proper three times & finally got in!!! No wait on a Thursday night, which was fortunate. We sat on the bar side. Our waitress was great, very helpful & attentive. We tried a few cocktails: The Proper Daily & the Pomegranate Margarita. Both were really good! I always love me a good margarita! We grabbed two appetizers, the Pommes Frites (basics fries) with the best proper beer aioli sauce!! It was delicious! We also tried the brussel sprouts. For some reason in my head, these were not going to be shredded, even though the menu is clear that they are. The dried cherries were a great touch to this appetizer. Food wise, I didn’t feel like they had great vegetarian options except like a veggie burger or a salad. I ended up getting the carbonara pasta, minus the bacon. The pepper was really strong & overwhelming for me with this dish. My friend wanted salmon but with Valentine’s Day a few days before we went, they were fresh out of both the fish & chips & the Atlantic salmon option so he opted for the chicken & waffles which ended up being really good. We also had a puddling type coffee dessert. I can’t remember what it was called & it was okay but I probably wouldn’t get it again. There was a jello texture to the middle layer. It was different. I was more excited to try this place, then I felt leaving. It was cute & I’m glad I got to try it with all the hype I hear about it.
