This place not only has great food and is a nice spot for a date night, this place is a great place to host events in the private rooms upstairs. Very nice. So glad we have this crescent city legend in Houston.

We ordered salads and soups for appetizers. Entrees included shrimp with grits, seafood cakes, and catfish, all with accompanying sides. Our desserts were... More

I recently had brunch with my future daughter-in-law at Brennan's and can't say enough great things about the experience. I have eaten there several times, but have never had their brunch. What a treat! The service is always excellent, and the food is consistently outstanding. I have always loved the location, and since they rebuilt after the fire that started... More

My wife and I tried this restaurant for the first time for our anniversary. Having grown up in Louisiana, we wondered how well it would compare. The atmosphere at Brennan's is cozy and comfortable and everyone there seemed steeped in relaxed southern charm and friendliness. Our waiter Joe was personable and professional. He seemed to anticipate questions before we thought... More

Going to Brennan's is always an event. They make you feel special and always offer excellent service. The food is beyond reproach. This New Orleans family brings the best of that great city to Houston.

We had a late dinner seating after a show in the theater district. Server was well informed about the specials and catered to our every need. The restaurant is beautiful and the big chairs are comfortable. Amazing wine list and scrumptious food., what else can you ask for?
