If you come to Houston, Brennan’s is a must! The service was outstanding; absolutely superior! Ambiance is lovely. The restaurant certainly attracts an older crowd. Food was good, but nothing special. It’s the entire experience that is special!

It was just ok. Food was ok. Service was really off. We waited for drinks, food and check. Took 25 min to get our drinks, probably over and hour to get a starter. And we had to ask a bus boy for bread….waiter forgot and we were really hungry waiting for any food to arrive. Just not the service I expect for a place with their price point and reputation.

There’s nothing quite like a meal at Brennan’s of Houston—a place that feels like home in every bite. With family roots in New Orleans, the rich Creole flavors and warm hospitality instantly transport me back, making every visit extra special. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. Hope and Cydney were absolute gems—attentive, kind, and full of Southern charm. Every staff member radiated hospitality, making the experience even more unforgettable. And the food? Simply divine. Every dish was a perfect balance of tradition and indulgence, capturing the essence of true Creole cuisine. From the first bite to the last, it was an experience worth savoring. I’m so happy to be back in Houston, which means more visits to this incredible gem. Brennan’s, you never disappoint!
