  We went in for our anniversary dinner and we were blown away. From the hostess to our waiter to the bussing staff everyone was so professional and kind. Our waiter was Alex T. He was stellar with his knowledge of the menu and the off menu items. My husband had a bison rib eye that was so tender and juicy. I had the wagu new York strip with truffle butter it just melted in my mouth. The appetizers were delicious and perfect sizes. I would come back for the butternut squash salad alone!!! And just because we needed more the creme bruleé was the best I've ever tasted. The hubs hates sweets and the celebratory brownie had him almost licking the plate. Overall it was such a special dinner and such a great experience highly recommend!!!!!

  This was better than expected! I travel quite a bit and normally eat out but this place was amazing. Our waiter Miguel was great and the drinks and the food were great. We ended the night outside enjoying the wonderful scenery. I would definitely recommend! 5 Stars ⭐️

  I’m going to make a very long story short! My friend proposed to the love of his life and planned a very special dinner for her after.. He didn’t care that to rent a private room would be a 1500$ minimum, he just wanted to celebrate with his family and closest friends.. We got there and were all in bliss after watching this very special moment.. We were seated then greeted by Ana our server, now there were 12 of us so I wondered being in the service industry why they didn’t have 2 servers for our group to make sure we had a flawless experience.. To add insult to injury Ana had the personality of a Popeyes biscuit(very dry) After sitting 35 minutes waiting for our drinks we asked for bread.. She was very stern and said “bread was not in the contract” and which the host was never offered options that even suggested bread was not free or he would have added it.. We asked Ana several times to get the manager and after an hour she finally just brought bread.. At first she told us that this bread that is usually free would be 2$ per person in a room that had a minimum of 1500$. Every time Ana left she would be gone for 20-30 minutes.. She made a dinner that should’ve been no longer than an hour and a half long, 3 hours!! The manager even came in the room but never introduced himself or apologized.. this is not the service I would have ever expected from a restaurant of this his caliber! I am a restaurant manager myself so I know what excellent service looks like.. We even seen Ana smile and actually have a personality to another table, then enter the room and go right back to her staunch attitude she had with us!! I will never come back again, we felt so unwelcome and we just wanted to celebrate a new beginning.. I pray the manager and staff go through some type of training that will teach them what 5 star service should look like.. You shouldn’t have to pay for bread when you’re going to spend 1500$ on dinner, nor should something free be charged.. We wouldn’t have even wanted bread if the service was moving even a little faster.. we got our plates after being there 2 hours! I hope Ana doesn’t ruin not one more special day and gets the training and help she needs.. The food was good The end

  We recently dined at Brenner’s on the Bayou and had a wonderful overall experience. Even without a reservation, the host team was able to accommodate us with a table, which we truly appreciated. We started with the Texas Kisses — bacon-wrapped shrimp topped with red jalapeños. They were flavorful, well-balanced, and made for a strong start to the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the fajita steak with potatoes. The steak was exceptionally juicy and tender, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. It was easily the highlight of my meal. For dessert, we tried the apple strudel, which we were told is the original recipe from Mrs. Brenner, who opened the restaurant. It absolutely lived up to the story — warm, rich, and beautifully executed. It was served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that was incredibly creamy and flavorful on its own, and paired perfectly with the warm strudel. A perfect way to end the evening. The only item we would likely skip next time would be the herb and parmesan fries. While they were good, we’ve had better elsewhere and felt they weren’t quite as memorable as the rest of the meal. Overall, Brenner’s delivered a great dining experience with quality food and accommodating service. We look forward to returning.

  My wife and I went here for a date night and decided to try this place for the first time. They truly earned 5+ stars with the level of detail they put into their communication and how well they made sure we were taken care of throughout the evening. We chose to sit outside, which had a great vibe. It was a cool night, but the fire warmers were close enough that we stayed comfortable the entire time. There was a delay with my steak, as my wife’s food arrived before mine. However, they quickly corrected the situation and made sure to make up for the mishap, which we really appreciated. The steak itself was one of the better steaks I’ve had in a while. It was juicy all the way to the last bite. I ordered it medium, and it was cooked exactly to my liking, well seasoned with a nice crisp on some of the edges. The German potatoes were an excellent side as well. They were nicely golden, well glazed, and had a great crisp on the edges. Overall, we were very well taken care of and will definitely be back. Thank you for a great evening.
