Brennan's of Houston Reviews

We love to celebrate here. The food is great and our family always has a great time. The martini specials are fun too.

Been going to Brennans for 40 years. Turtle soup is the BEST.

Well, its Brennan's. Enough said. Prepare yourself for excellent food and service like none-other. Also prepare yourself for the bill - it will hit hard. The grilled oysters are wonderful

Fun 25 cent martinis (it's a real thing), and French Quarteresqe...good for groups. Apps are better than mains.

Nice place with very friendly staff and delicious drinks and food, at fairly average prices. one of the most pleasant places in houston!

Really nice restaurant. Food is amazing, good atmosphere, and staff are very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend.

A Houston icon for a reason. Food was perfect. Service unparalleled.

A lot to love about this restaurant. Service is second to none. They pay attention to the little things. Food was delicious but wife wished the catfish brunch item had a little more than just white rice...at least some more sauce. Appetizer enchilada was superb as were the soups. Flounder brunch was awesome. Desserts were great as well. Love this place. Will be back when in Houston.

Good spot for creole. Got there near five, it wasn't very busy. The service was very sociable and kind.

Old fashioned luxury
Calorie infused menu
Good flavors

Great place for quality Creole. Really nothing but enjoyable experiences here, I'll be back. It has a great interior.

Family tradition! It s really wonderful Southern food

Great place for dinner setting. $5 Valet which is awesome!

They have everything perfected it seems! Food, service, atmosphere, decor and private dining all get an A+. As for those pralines? They are dangerously good.

My favorite restaurant in Houston. The service is perfect

Amazing food. Everything. The soups, salad, entrees and desserts! Very great service. Really on point. The atmosphere was great too. Made me enjoy my food more.

The service was the best our waiters very well food u

Love this place! My family is very German and I brought them here and they were very impressed by the quality of the food. Some dishes have been "Americanized" a little bit, but are still great. The best dish on the menu is definitely the make your own wurst. All of their sausage is amazing. They also have an impressive beer selection that I'm still working my way through. And make sure you save room for desert!

Perfection! One of the best places in Houston to eat IMO. I've always been happy with everything ive tried here, esp the turtle soup!

I could not let the night end without writing a review. We received not so favorable news earlier at Methodist hospital. Not to be defeated by Cancer we decided to dine at Brennan's. Truly an incredible experience! Service was more than AMAZING from the moment myself, aunts and cousin walked in the door until the four us returned to our valet cars. Great food especially the shrimp, crab cake and greens.. OMG to the dessert as well! Thank you so much Thomas for "outstanding" service tonight!!

Love the food, cocktails & service! Brennan's is the place for memorable moments!

We had a corporate event and everything was lovely, I would highly recommend them.

Always receive excellent service and the food is always phenomenonal.

As always, the intersection of fine cuisine, ambience, and location. An urban retreat...so treat yourself.
A fine place for business or family gatherings.
Perfect for a romantic
rendezvous.
$5 valet parking.

After 6 years in the houston area I finally tried this place out. It did not disappoint. The wine and 3 course dinner for 2 was phenomenal in taste and value. The starter salad was excellent and the turtle soup to me was ok. Never had it before and didn t know what to expect. Very rich deep flavor like a some gumbos have. The entree was the filet for both of us. They were both cooked to perfection. Delicious. Lastly we had the bread pudding and bananas foster. Hands down one of the best things I ve eaten. Fun fact, their Louisiana location invented it. And before I end this wonderful review. The staff was excellent.

Unbelievable experience!!!!! We did the kitchen table for my sister-in-law's birthday. Truly one of those dining experiences that should be on your bucket list!!!!

creole, mmm, very tasty. Certainly a top place in the area. The service was very helpful and welcoming. The bill was decent for the quality.

There isn't much to say that the other reviews didn't already cover. Excellent food, excellent decor, excellent service. My only complaint is that in a place as nice as Brennan's they really should monitor how their customers are acting. There was an utterly disgusting older couple in the bar area acting like sleazy jackasses. I'm not a prude by any stretch, but in this particular scenario and dinner atmosphere where I'm dropping hundreds of dollars on a night out with my wife, as are dozens of other sharply dressed patrons at other tables, we don't deserve that. I could give a flying leap who that old couple were, how much they were spending, etc. You can't allow that as a high class establishment. Send them to a pub bar somewhere else or to their car where respectable people get their freak on. LOL "The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow.

The bartender, didn't catch his name, but he's awesome. Long salt and pepper hair, caucasian, male...very interesting to talk to. Makes great drinks. Knows his stuff. Knows a lot about Houston.

stuffy enviornment, no ball hats allowed. sat us in the corner because we had kids with us so we got to watch the waiters set tables. food ok, not worth the price by far. service fair. valet played around with my air conditioner in my truck. wont be back.

Love this restaurant. Make sure to take lots of pictures since they have a nice back view

We enjoyed Mother's Day brunch. The shrimp and grits were really good along with the featured cocktails. The dessert options for the brunch made it hard to choose. You cannot go wrong with the dessert selection! This place was worth the wait, regarding getting a reservation. They were booked for the Easter brunch, but we made it for Mother's Day. Give it a try!

This place is the best place in town hands down, the service is great, the food is amazing.. and they have the best crabcake i have ever try in my life, thank you!! Ask for rommel the manager, he will make your evening even better..

Maurcelino was our server, we had a large group for a lunch meeting and let me just say, they lived up to their reputation.

I had the gulf fish ponchartrain and the snapping turtle soup. My only complaint is that I couldn't finish all of it. Some of my dining mates had the catfish and the shrimp and grits and they looked to die for.

I adored our server! He was quick, always smiled and was incredibly polite. I loved it and wish my wallet allowed me to eat there more often.

Celebration, with my, Niece QUEEN TANYA , in downtown "Houston", at BRENNAN'S of HOUSTON was PHENOMENAL, food is a rewarding experience. Everything, the whole experience is Awesome. Mrs. Carolyn

I gotta say i loved the food choices in this restaurant! I am a very picky person when it comes to food, but they did not dissapoint!

Everything was delicious! The petit seafood tower, the gulf fish pontchatrain, the brussel sprouts! Loved it all! Great service too!

Nice spot for tasty Creole. I look forward to a return visit. Prices are decent.

The best fine dining. Guys make sure to bring a suit

Waiters were excellent..service was good..food is nice

I was extremely disappointed in Brennan's when I went there. I had heard such amazing things about Brennan's, but that's not the experience that I had. Our server was good and the food was good, but it was cold by the time it was served. Overall, the atmosphere that we felt when we went was that we were treated poorly, and we even wondered was the poor treatment racially motivated! I can recommend their food, but I cannot recommend eating it there!

Always a pleasure bringing friends, clients, and colleagues to Brennan's. Today I dined with one of my best friends from college for his birthday. Hehad the turtle soup and I had the Matagorda Bay oyster stew with a pinch of caviar. Both are equisite! We also filled up on extra dirty 25 cent martinis during lunch. The martinis are the best kept secret in town! Happy birthday, buddy! HOOK EM!!!

Went here for Houston Restaurant Week and it was such a wonderful experience! From the ambience, to our waiter, and the food! The food was delicious! Had to pocket some pralines on the way out. Overall, such a great experience and great night. This is our go to spot from now on for our anniversary.

Food was amazing!! Great place to go for anniversaries, etc! They treat you like royalty.

We had another excellent meal there. Always enjoy going there and their team is very good!

Closest thing to being in The Crescent City without actually being in NOLA!! Best Creole Brunch in H-Town!!

A Houston treasure best brunch in town in my opinion

Fantastic food and wonderful service. Can t wait to go back again.

Great atmosphere, outstanding food and great selection of top shelf whiskey and wine. Loved it.

One of my favorite spots in Houston. Fancy dining, great service, great food. Very romantic . Excellent for a special date or birthday with significant other.

Absolutely amazing service. From the minute you pull in, a great valet service (not to mention, very well priced), to the moment you walk in a nice greeting from the host and very comfortable and elegant seating. Food was spectacular and served in a timely manner by a very good server, and the goodbye was just as good!! Very nice place to go. 100% recommend.

We come here for birthday celebration. The gumbo soup is wonderful and sea food are proper seasoned and tasted great. The service is first class. The lunch menu is not as expensive as we thought. We will come back in the future for sure.

Good scene for tasty Creole. very filling. i look forward to a return visit. the place has a great feel to it.

Amazing food and staff. We recently hosted our son's rehearsal dinner at Brennan's. We were a large group and our food was flawless! We planned it from out of state and the catering staff were fabulous! The staff that day made the event so easy for us! Everything was perfect! Our guests raved! Expensive? Yes, but you get what you pay for! It was a truly memorable evening!

Old school elegance rarely seen anymore, this restaurant has an amazing atmosphere that just resonates with the age and classy aura of this establishment. My grandmother used to come here many years ago when she was younger, and we just celebrated her 99th birthday here with the family. Brennans is a pillar of Houston, a long standing tradition that has never fizzled or died out. The turtle soup and the bananas foster are a must have if you come here, the best thing on the menu in my opinion. And you should valet here, the parking can be tricky. Stop here and taste the delicious history of our city!

Parking sucks! Reserve and valet! Prailines! Prailines! Prailines!

Brunch sat and sun--eggs sardou, turtle soup and champagne!

One of my top places for quality creole. This place has a good atmosphere.

Great food!! Great service! My wife and I had a great dinner and a great time for our 5 year wedding anniversary. I would highly recommend this place.

Still a long wait of 45 min even though had a reservation. Other than that, the food, the menu, the experience after being seated are all great.

Awesome as usual! We had actually gone somewhere else is celebrate our birthday...we were not happy with the service so we left and showed up at Brennan's! They took care of us like we were celebrities! Impeccable service and the entire staff is personable and professional! And the food is awsome!

Amazing food and service. We sat in the kitchen table (ask to reserve, sometimes a year out) and the chef interviewed us to determine what to make us. The whole kitchen crew was so kind and seemed to enjoy working in the kitchen. Expensive, but well worth it for a special occasion

I had never been here but, I must so the service and the food was fantastic. And not to mention out server who was amazing. He made us feel like we were friends. Great food, price and atmosphere.

It is really okay, I am not sure if I will come back here. Overall, it is better than some places I have gone to. I think it is an okay place to go to. I am a very picky person and I think the impression the place for me is really mediocre.

creole and the feeling at this spot is great. Nice place to meet and catch up with family. The staff was very kind and attentive.
