Brennan's of Houston Review

Great brunch at the bar everyone was helpful. Thanks

Great place to get some food and drinks with friends. They seem to really care about their customers and take the necessary precautions.

50 cent martinis for lunch! The Creole cuisine is over the top. Valet for 5 bucks. Sip some drinks. Enjoy some great food. Enough said.

I ve been here a couple of times and the food delicious! Recommended!

Took one look at the price for turtle soup... and yeeted on out of there

Service & food both first class & a bonus is a delightful view overlooking the place.

This classic is still in its game, delicious as always

Food was delicious, service was great, and the atmosphere was lovely! A bit pricey for my taste, but worth it...I would definitely return!

food=delicious service=excellent atmosphere=joyous decor=inviting

Because of my job I am lucky enough to get to eat here a few times a year. It never disappoints. Service is always excellent.

There service here is always impeccable. Rodney takes care of us every time and the guy is on point. Everything is always delicious and if I'm not 100% satisfied, they move to make it happen. Best spot for birthday/holiday meals and drinks. Absolutely one of THE classiest establishments in Houston

Wow! This place is phenomenal! Took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and the food was amazing and seasoned well. The service was beyond exceptional. The experience was quite romantic and such a intriguing atmosphere. They also More

Delicious food, attentive wait staff and the best complimentary pralines in Houston!

The food is consistent with this being a chain. It's odd not even having margaritas at a taco place in Texas. The restaurant could probably seat 200 people but they can only park maybe 20 cars. So, you need to Uber, carpool or find somewhere else to go if you are meeting a group. You could always try Houston's mass...

creole and the scene here is super good. very savory.

Flavorful good with great textures. Clean restrooms. A bit too chilly. Drink was bad and did not taste any blueberry at all.

An Amazing place to take a guest! Great food! Reminds me and my wife of our home in Louisiana! We love it here!

This was my first time going to this fantastic restaurant. I had heard from my friends that this was a great place to go for a special event and it did not disappoint. Very pricey but you get what you pay for. They had great menu choices that all sounded wonderful. I finally went with the seafood gumbo and it was absolutely delicious. My friend got the filet mignon and loved it as well, you could basically cut it with a fork. The wait staff was amazing, attentive, and very nice. Be sure to try the bananas foster for desert you will not regret it. If you decided to go you will need a reservation. I will definitely be back to this place. Thank you for such great service.

The service was excellent the food was oustanding the quality of this churrascarria is the finest . Go there you will have a great evening

The food was delicious and the wait staff provided excellent service.

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Loved my dining experience.

Like being transported to New Orleans. You can't beat the food or drinks here. A little expensive but so worth it. One of the best brunches in Houston.

Food is amazing, atmosphere is quaint and sophisticated!

I played hooky to come here for the 25 cent martinis lol. They had lunch specials as well so we got the catfish which was seasoned well and fried to a perfect crisp lol I didn't even realize how much I was craving it. Also the service was awesome and I'd recommend getting the cafe brulot, a coffee and brandy situation prepared tableside. Actually just get completely blazed then go here and get that and the bananas foster

Horrible! Why does it get 5 stars and by whom. Some other commentator accused me of being rude and dissastifued by the server, really? You might want to ask him what did he do so special to get $50 tip on a $ 200 dinner ticket. Are you that generous even when unhappy.

Brennan's has been a five star restaurant. The brunch is the best. Their pralines are worth every granule of sugar. The kitchen table experience is incredible! The last visit left us with less than hospitable service, but otherwise, no complaints.

Came in for Brunch with a few friends.

Food was delicious and the service was perfect.
The table-side bananas foster preparation is always fun to watch.

I came in wearing a t-shirt and jeans and they didn't have any issues with my apparel although their recommended dress code is business casual.

Love this place. The pralines bring back memories. Pavlovian mouth watering begins on site.

Went for HRW, and the food was delicious! The staff is friendly and attentive. Great for any special occasion!

Visited last Saturday for lunch at these amazing place. It was my great experience ever in Houston. I would definitely come again with my friends and family for a lunch or dinner. Highly Recommended!

Great presentation of food. Interior was beautiful. Food was delicious. Staff were courteous. Perfect lighting. Seating section was good.

Food, drinks, service and atmosphere were all above and beyond our expectations as always

Had the unfortunate experience of spending 3 hours here. The first hour waiting to order. The second waiting for food. And the third waiting for the check. Service was incredibly slow for a restaurant that was half full. When we complained to the manager, they offered no initial help. It took us walking out the door before they finally comped the meal. Our party was very disappointed

Sunday brunch is phenomenal here. I recommend the eggs Benedict. Fantastic service and great ambiance.

We had a great table with a view, the overall ambiance was great for valentine's day. Of course it was a packed house, but even with the live music and background noise, my wife and I had no problems conversing. The only slight and I mean I'm being very picky, was the preset valentine's menu. I was just a little underwhelmed with our selections, especially dessert. My beignets were tough and my wife's souffle was overcooked and heavy on dessert spices. Service was the star of the night, both our waiters were top notch. Looking forward to coming back on a normal night to try out the regular menu items.

Great food great prices great staff great cocktails

Absolutely outstanding. The banana foster is supreme!

I called to place an order which I was told couldn t be done over the phone which is fine so i drive there to place my order and the staff was so rude and snappy they wouldn t even give me time to check out the menu if I could give 0 stars I would definitely never come back

There is something special about the ambiance and the over the top presentation of Cajun cuisine at this restaurant. The turtle soup is justly famous, but I prefer the various fish dishes that they serve which include plenty of seafood and elaborate sauce to take it up several notches.

Still good, but not the 5 stars it would have gotten a few years ago. Probably too old an audience to survive more than another 5 years at the current location.

Absolutely loved this place. Good selection of foods and drinks. Being an Indian myself I really loved what they presented on the table. Little over pricey for their portion sizes as compared to other good Indian restaurants. Overall good experience. Me and my husband ordered the green shrimp masala and chili chicken lettuce wrap. It was delicious. Definitely recommend these. Don t try their ginger tea. It was just plain hot water with one sachet of mixed spices. The tea was actually missing the tea leaves, milk and sugar. That s how authentic ginger tea is made. But the rest of the food that my friends ordered was delicious too.
I would love to give it 5 stars

Excellent food and service. Cost is a little high compared to the portion and sides that come with the entrees, but certainly about right for the quality. Not a lot of menu choices, which I'm ok with, but if you don't like steak or seafood then you probably won't find something on this menu for you. Wine list is extensive and leans to the much higher end, so you can get lost if you're not sure on your wines. You also won't find a lot of quality budget picks.

The dessert list is excellent and I highly recommend the pecan pie.

The food and service was tremendous. We recently had dinner here to celebrate our anniversary. The staff ensured that our night was special and our drinks stayed full. The night was capped with the delicious bananas foster for desert. Great spot for a date night.

Outstanding... Fantastic food.. Wonderful Ambiance and Great Staff

One of the best restaurants in Houston. Fantastic food, top notch service, presentation, and in a beautiful old building. Their seafood is wonderful and I highly recommend the bananas foster.

Consistently amazing food, with the kind of service and atmosphere you expect from fine dining. I've had brunch, lunch, dinner, and attended a wedding at Brennan's - every time has been memorable. The turtle soup, crab cake and bananas foster are all must haves. A true hallmark of the Houston food scene.

The food has been excellent as long as I've gone there. Their classic turtle soup is still an amazing choice for lunch, along with any of their main dishes.

Excellent food, came here for a meeting. Try the turtle soup, you won't regret it. Also had a chopped salad and tenderloin with giant lump crab cake, service was top notch and the food was very well prepared.

My boyfriend and I decided to try new restaurants during the restaurant week here in Houston and Brennan s was one of the ones we chose.

I have to say I ve never been more satisfied. From their dine in experience to their bar top hospitality, it was all very great. My Bf chose a perfectly prepared chicken dish as I had the shrimp and grits. Ingle from the bar says they didn t normally do the whole show during this month but he made sure we were able to get the full experience. Thank you people of Brennan s and Ingle and Jessica from the bar. We truly enjoyed your work. Looking forward to coming back!

First time there since renovated. The service was great, beginning from the valet to the waiters, BUT my dish was not great! Ordered the Sweet Tea Smoked Chicken & Spinach Salad. It seemed as if it was just thrown in there with dark chicken and a hen egg which is pretty much poached, but closer to raw. The Sweet Tea Smoked Chicken tasted all but like sweet & smoked. So then we decided to switch that salad out for A Creole Cobb salad with White Chicken. Well....it was worse! It seemed as if the Chef threw in the chicken from the previous salad (not white meat as requested) and this time with bones in it! It seemed as if they were bones from a Cornish chicken. I was trying my best to eat the greens part of the salad, but then the waiter saw the bones on the side of plate and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was very apologetic and my meal was on them. I went there to have a nice meal not to get a free meal. The waiter Manuel was very nice as well as the rest of the staff. Because of that I will return and perhaps I will have a better experience. It is a beautiful place.

Love the food, love the service, and the price compared to other similarly price restaurants, all great. 5 STARS all the way.

I had scallops. They should have gave more since the dish was expensive amd mainly rice.( At other places you could get 2 meals for the price here). The scallops were not as hot in temperature as I would expect, so rating them a 3, but they were good.

Met my wife for lunch on a random Wednesday. (Its how I stay relevant as a great Husband) Shared a cold platter that was fantastic. Turtle soups and Banana's Foster...WOW
.25 Martinis did not disappoint either....

A classic Houston landmark! Great food, atmosphere, and service!

As soon as I walked into Brennan's I knew I wanted our wedding there. The building is beautiful on the outside and the inside is gorgeous. I worked with Kelly and he was beyond amazing. He answered me promptly, helped me make decisions and is hilarious! I was so amazed by how he turned my vision into reality. My wedding turned out prettier than I had imagined it. Eddie was our captain and he also was very attentive and made sure I was taken care of and my mom, mother in law and MOH while we waited for everything to start. Also the food, it was delicious and all my guests raved about the food. I have no complaints. I highly recommend them!!

EXCELLENT! Except for the cold coffee but I was full anyway by then!! Beautiful restaurant too....

Excellent food, loved the sauces on the fish. The seafood was great. Fresh oysters were delicious. Rice was tasty. The beignets are a must for dessert, they were super fluffy and came with a delicious coffee latte sauce for dipping. Wine selection was great. Loved the complimentary garlic butter bread. Maybe the entrees are overpriced for the portion size, but the rest of the menu is cost-value. The venue is great, super nice ambience. Good music selection, not loud at all. The place offers an elegant vintage atmosphere. A must for a nice, cozy dinner in Houston.

The quail is great, very flavorful. For sides the greens and mac n cheese is great. The bananas fosters is a fun option

Staff is exceptionally nice, pralines are a taste of southern heaven

Always a good choice for super fine dining. If you're coming here, bring plenty of money, make reservations, and bring your taste buds because they will get some work.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Brennan's. The restaurant is elegant, the food was heavy but delicious, and the service was very good.

They have a specialty turtle soup (never tried it before) that was nice but gamey. I have to say that the dessert (table side bananas foster) was really wonderful to watch and to eat.

This place is known as a steak house so if you love steak, this is a place to try it.

Went for Sunday Brunch. Fabulous as always. Great service, great food. If I had any complaint it would be the dress code seems to have been relaxed a tad too much. Saw tshirts, jeans, flip flops. Doesn't exactly fit the atmosphere. Other than that, perfection

Loved this place.. and fish meals.. Although a bit expensive.. The staff is awesome also

Always a great experience. Top notch service and food. The happy hour is fantastic, as well.

Quality of food was less than satisfactory,service wasexceptional

One of the best restaurants for flavorful Creole and decent prices. Cant wait to come back again when my in-laws are in town!

I just went to Brennan's of Houston for the first time (I know, am I even a Houstonian?) as a dinner guest of a rehearsal dinner. The food and service was impeccable. I had pumpkin soup, steak, and pecan pie. Our whole table cleared their plates, it was so delicious! The venue was beautiful and elegant. I can't wait to return here for dinner.
