Party of four. Two ordered steaks which were superb. One order of scallops on a bed of corn - scallops were great but the corn seemed literally dumped out of a can. Very poor taste. Last person ordered the snapper and it was super dry. Ordered the au gratin potatoes and the brussel sprouts which were also very good and tasty. Service was just ok, waitress was missing quite often. Desserts did not disappoint at all, best crème brulee around. Overall, I'd visit again but no seafood and would pray for better service. read more

Brenner's Steakhouse - Crème Brûlée & Carrot Cake - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

I came here for a large group work dinner in their private dining room and it was a really nice experience. Service was very attentive, efficient, and friendly and the food quality was top notch, which I found impressive given the size of the group we had (around 50 attendees). Their steaks were cooked perfectly and seasoned simply so that the cut of meat could shine through. They have a lovely outdoor patio space I encourage you to utilize if weather permits - it is an oasis that makes you forget that you are next to I-10. Parking: lot is split between self parking and valet. read more

Went last week with my family but was immediately insulted and turned away dismissively by the hostess stand for daring to wear khaki shorts and a Polo button-down into their establishment. Folks, it's Texas. It's a Wednesday night in summer. Keep in mind that this is a suburban, Fertitta-chain restaurant in Houston, we're not talking the French Laundry here. The steakhouse right up the street was more than happy to take our $500 and the food was better anyway. OK sure, they post their dress code in the lobby, and apparently on their website. But putting up signs telling everyone that you're condescendingly pretentious in advance just means you're proud of your condescending pretentiousness. This is the kind of place that cones off their parking lot to be valet-only when the lot is never more than half full. Get real guys... not only is this place outside the Loop, it's outside the Beltway.... and apparently outside their minds. I mean, you're surrounded by a Carvana, a Smoke N Toke, and a Comedy Defensive Driving... and you want to require dinner jackets? The lack of self-awareness here is just amazing. You do you, Brenner's, lol... We live right up the street, and we like steak. We eat out a lot, and we even have closets full of what you deem to be acceptable clothing. But we will NEVER be back. Oh, and my wife says it smelled like old people in there. So there's that, too, I guess. read more

Hadn't been here for some time but remember it as a great old style, or classical Texas steak house. To cut to the chase the ambience was excellent and the hostess was courteous and the food was excellent. Where three stars were lost was the rushing us through the whole experience to turn the table over. When we arrive we like to have a cocktail, a dirt martini in this case which was on point, and whilst drinking it study the menu to choose an appetizer. In this case we were asked repeatedly what appetizer we wanted. We had the oysters and before they arrived and the cocktails arrived we were being asked to place our entree order - which we did after being assured that the order would not be put in straight away. Well as soon as the empty oyster tray was removed the entree was placed on the table. No time to order wine to accompany the food. The same was the experience with the dessert, being asked multiple times. The oysters were great, the special 6 oz fillet was first class as was the sauce and the spinach. The snapper was good my wife attested to and the chocolate cake great. We were in and out in less than an hour having had a three course meal! Of course I tipped 20% - good serving is an art, knowing when to step in and when to give the table time. We really appreciate how getting that right after last nights experience (12/12/2025). Also firmly expressing our desire to take our time needs to be something I need to develop. Only two stars for my performance, as well. read more

Great place for business lunch's. Service is as expected and food is on point. Would definitely recommend this place.

Decent steakhouse. Service was good. Nice restaurant. But nothing special to me except the prices. There are better ones around.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. We've been here once before a year ago and are elated to say the service and food is consistent. Our server was amazing! Very personable, welcoming and had great recommendations. The ambiance & atmosphere is beautiful and I would definitely recommend. read more

This is my "follow-up" review after reply from Kevin F. Kevin F., your response confirms what many other reviewers have already noticed -- you reply to low-star reviews with copy-paste deflection and zero accountability. That's not customer service, that's damage control. If you're not going to apologize, acknowledge the issue, or offer real resolution, then respectfully, you're in the wrong role. You should not be the voice representing this business. I left a generous review despite being deeply disappointed. I should've rated it 1 star. The food was underwhelming, our request was ignored, and the place no longer resembles what it once was. I hope future customers read this, because the experience -- and your lack of response -- makes it clear: this business is failing, and you're part of the reason why. read more

My daughter, my nephew and a small group of their friends went to Brenner's SteakHouse. Of course I had her bring me back a meal! I still cannot forget that meal it was outstanding! I had the seared goat cheese ... soooo good! I got some lamb lollipops which were to die for!!! We love lamb pops and these were juicy and cooked just right.. oh yummmm!!! I had the lobster bisque which was very tasty with a nice portion of lobster meat... I'm getting hungry thinking about this! Finally I also had some German potatoes !!! So good! I would just add a little more onion but I am not a chef! Everything was outstanding and I can't wait to order again!!! read more

The bar area is small but the bartenders Jordan and Rob made the experience for us. We visited during restaurant week , everyone was very friendly and the food was delicious, especially the oysters. Definitely an after work, date night live the night we were there, but not extremely busy. Highly recommend!! read more

Brenner's Steakhouse - Oysters - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food was absolutely delicious, tried them out during Houston restaurant week. Started off with the tomatoes salad, then the lamb chops were cooked to perfection. seafood risotto is to die for and the one item I have to get when I go back is the croissant bread pudding! Our water was also quite nice and attentive! It's definitely has the best date night/dinner with the girls vibe read more

I promise this should be the last food review for the next few days at least...lol! When I say everything here was AMAZING!!! The atmosphere is very nice and slightly sophisticated. The customer service was impeccable. The food was muah! The crab cake was 95% crab and whatever sauce they used made it perfect. I chose the blackened porkchop topped with fried crawfish...who would have thought to do that?? Had to be a genius because it was wonderful and the side of potatoes were the smoothest potatoes ever. Also tried the lobster macaroni that could have used a tid bit more seasoning. The side car was awesome and very reasonably priced. Definitely will return! read more

I just went in for soup & salad. I was craving a fancy, table side Cesar salad type of vibe. The lobster bisque was yummy, but the cup was tiny. The Cesar salad was not good at all. Chili's has better salads...something needs to be done to spruce theirs up. Both dishes weren't worth the price tag. I think I just went to the wrong place for what I ordered. I'm assuming the steaks are really good though. The employees and the back outside area were lovely though! read more

Just had an amazing date night. The food was delicious, as always and the service impeccable! Amanda took such great care of us. One of our favorite spots and will be forever! read more

Amanda served us and she was great! She suggested a lot of the popular items like the German potato's. She also gave us some of the history of the restaurant which was very interesting. Overall, the food was delicious! read more

Came here for an anniversary dinner and had a wonderful time! It's a small and cozy dining room and we were sat by the window which is a lovely view. It was our first time here but we'd only heard good things. The real star of the show for us was the Miso Tenderloin Skewers - seeing that on the menu is actually why we chose the steakhouse over on the bayou for our dinner. Everything we had was delicious and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. One note, the Brussel Sprouts were lackluster. The short rib, however, was incredibly tender. The service was excellent and I wish I remembered what her name was because she was phenomenal! I would definitely come back for a special occasion. read more

Best steakhouse by far! LOVE the lamb lollipop dish! Everything really. Super decent, great customer service & amazing view. Love the wine and food. I reserved reservations to ask my girlfriend out here. They called me and told me they couldn't do the surprise for me. Still went, they ended up surprising us both with surprising my girlfriend and asking her out. Decent joke/surprise. Absolutely LOVE this steakhouse! read more

Great variety of food and desserts very nice ambiance, Wait staff was excellent. I recommend this place for a nice Romantic Dinner.

Amanda did a wonderful job for our 51st wedding anniversary. She listened well and offered several suggestions for our amazing meal. She made our meal really enjoyable. read more

Last Friday was the first and last time I will ever come here. Our family had a special event to celebrate. We ordered online via curbside. We arrived at the promised time and were told there is no curbside to come inside. Take the curbside option off your site if it's not an option. Once I went inside I was told the order was not ready and the host would bring it out to my vehicle. 30 min later I went back inside and see that she clearly forgot. I asked to speak to the manager. He was neither apologetic nor showed any kind of empathy. This was an almost $300 meal. I was expecting exceptional customer service and got the worst. When we got home our order was wrong despite calling ahead to confirm our special request. So we went back and asked for a refund. Was told their third party processor would handle it. Again, no effort to correct it or anything. Instead just heard excuses about it being busy on a Friday night. Not my problem especially when we arrived at the promised time and the place was practically empty. And we called ahead to ask about the special request. Worst experience ever. There are too many other better options for steak in Houston. I went on their parent website to share my experience and one week later have yet to hear anything back nor get my money back. What a huge disappointment. read more

We were hoping to have memorable dining experience when we booked on yelp. Unfortunately though a mistake I apparently made was made the reservation for February instead of January on the yelp app. Consequently when we arrived no seating was available.This was a huge disappointment as we were hosting another couple, but is understandable. However the lack of empathy by the Maitre D and his officious tone added humiliation to our disappointing evening. read more

Sultry lovely ambience. Came here with my husband to be, to enjoy some Ribeyes. We sat at the piano. Yes, literally. There is seating right there. And we ate on the piano. It's a bit too close to the front door so that made it a bit less romantic, but we enjoyed an elegant experience with VERY attentive staff. Seriously. The staff treated us like celebrities. Have no idea why but I won't complain, and would highly recommend anyone come get the "celebrity" treatment. read more

Went again. My anniversary was not acknowledged with a specific reservation. The hostess lead us to a seperate dinning area. It felt reserved for people of color and the elderly. The food quality has gone downhill. Our waiter Ernesto wasn't the problem. He was prompt. My short rib wasn't presented nicely. It looked like it's chuck roast. Super sloppy. The crab cake drowned in sauce. The whole experience left me underwhelmed. 300 with tip for a party of two and one drink each. I do not believe I will come back. read more

Brenner's was a great place to eat. I sat outside need the little waterfall and pond out back. It was a cool ambiance out there although it was pretty warm the night I was there. The food was outstanding. Highly recommend the crème brûlée to finish it all off. It's high so maybe share it. Service was attentive and playful which I really enjoyed. I got everything she recommended and she was not wrong! read more

My fiancé and I come here all the time. We live close, work close, and absolutely spend a decent amount of money. Tonight we shared with our friends that we got engaged. We ideally wanted 6 seats at the bar. At the moment our first guest arrived, there was 4 seats. Keep in mind this was as Sunday night. An other patron complains about moving seats too close, and that deterred 2 of our group to leave. So we order drinks And the manager still feels compelled to say we need to leave. Over the past 3 years we have spent thousands of dollars. Unfortunately due to the short, bald, idiot manager , who is horrible with confrontation management, we will not be returning read more

I went here for the first time ever and ordered the NY Strip cooked rare, one glass of Sauvignon Blanc and got their famous Apple Strudel for a takeout dessert. Everything was very good quality, fresh, moist and very delicious. My steak was like an old-school NY style one, which would be a dry-aged, prime cut seasoned only with salt. That's what it seemed to be as well as having a touch of Chicago style to it with the au ju on bottom of the plate. The meat was very tasty and hearty containing a generous amount of salt combined with some slightly nutty dry-aged flavor that wasn't too strong or funky. It was noticeably high quality beef with ideal marbling to leanness ratio. The crust on top of the steak was superb and the inside was juicy as well as very red as rare should be. It was slightly firm, but very easy to cut making it just right in tenderness. The au ju sauce was very tasty with a French onion, cumin and whatever else mixed in its savory recipe. The white wine was very refreshing, tangy and crispy quenching my pallets with my dinner. The service was great and friendly. I would've normally chosen a chocolate or bread pudding option for a dessert option, but since I heard wonderful things of their apple strudel, I decided to get that one. I am very glad I did, bc it was the best apple strudel I ever had and one of the 2 best apple desserts I ever had, along with the apple pie from Proud Pie. I don't usually crave apple stuff too often, but I certainly like some of them when they're made well. It had a very tasty, dense but soft, moist, buttery pastry casing, very good gooey filling and really tasty, sweet-spiced apple chunks. They had a fall vibe in each bite with nutmeg, some cinnamon, toasted pecans and so on. Very balanced, not too sweet, greatly-prepped and high quality like my steak in its own way. I will return here again one day in the future. read more

Braved our first restaurant visit since COVID "lockdown" the second week of March, and it was fantastic!! We joined son and daughter-in-law for Houston Restaurant Week at Brenner's and it was the best choice we could have made! We had reservations in the garden area where they had the tables spread 15-20 feet apart so you had no worries about "social distancing". Service was great, as usually, and while we were attended to properly, our server kept the table visits to a minimum. If you have the opportunity to get out during these time and on HRW, I highly suggest make it to Brenner's. I had the "Chicken Fried Filet" and it was outstanding, the crust was like that found the old Dirty's or Goodson's CFS, except for the TENDERLOIN replacing the beat to death round steak; served with Cajun Gravy and Mashed Potatoes...YUM!! But when you take a look at the photo attached you'll see that you can only eat half of it and then take the other have home for gourmet leftovers. My wife and D-I-L had the Tournedos with Cognac Peppercorn Sauce and they raved about the flavor, tenderness and the sauce. Son had the Chili Spiced Salmon with Chipotle Choron Sauce, and Crisp Crawfish Tails, which was equally as tasty as the beef dishes. Dessert was a piece of cheese cake and bread pudding, they were the only things we had that were "good", seemed not to be "house made". Great Job Brenner's!! read more

We came for Holiday business luncheon . The restaurant is definitely small but cozy and nice . We ordered a few appetizers : quails are recommended, we wished there were more. My steak was suppose to be medium rare but I got well done, the kitchen fixed it though. Lobster macaroni was a generous size and yummy. I got creme brûlée for dessert and it was sooo good. I didn't take more pictures because I was too hungry LOL but so far if was a memorable lunch. Did I mention it was a bit pricey?! Worth it! read more

First visit here. The atmosphere was welcoming even though we arrived in scrubs after a long day and patient referral to come eat here. The appetizer of Tomato bisque soup was the best I have ever had, nice creamy texture with just the right balance of flavors... not too sweet not to tart or acidic with a toasted nugget of bread to top it off for texture. The entree I chose based solely on our waiter's recommendation was the 6 oz snake river filet mignon. It was served on a hot plate with the perfect seasoning and sear on the outside with a nice warm center. Absolutely worth ordering. Side item of choice was the fluffiest baked potato. Drink of choice was a Vodka ( Dripping Spring Vodka) soda with 2 lines. FRANK our waiter was AMAZING!!! Thanks, RN PATRONS read more

We went last night to celebrate a birthday and it was fantastic! Wine and food on point! Great atmosphere and not only a great waiter but also a knowledgeable sommelier that picked the best wine possible. We had shrimp cocktail as an appetizer- giant fresh, simply delicious. We both had filet mignon cooked to perfection accompanied with potatoes au gratin and broccolini. We had cheesecake for dessert- which was a delicious way to end the meal! read more

Place was fantastic! My snake river 6oz filet with wild mushrooms was amazing! Cooked perfect and the sides were great.

This place is great and easily one of my favorite restaurants in Houston AND one of the best steakhouses in the Houston area. It's a classic menu but a menu that's done the right way. Service is top notch, from valet, bartenders, and servers. Highly recommend this spot if you want to dine somewhere nice. Wine list and cocktail list are great. Beer list is not great. Probably because the yolked manager made it. He looks like he drinks Michelob ultra. I recommend making a reservation but you can also walk-in. The outdoor seating is very underrated and a beautiful setting if the weather is nice. Dress code is enforced. Lamb lollipops, shrimp cocktail, gumbo (when they make it) are highly recommended It's a steakhouse, but one of my favorite dishes in general is the salmon with polenta. That dish is incredible. Will continue to return here as I have for the past two years. Young manager thats bulked up said if I didn't write a review, he would break my kneecaps. My kneecaps are now safe. read more
