Voted “Houston’s Best Steak” by the Houston Chronicle, Brenner’s on the Bayou is a delicious luxury for any resident or visitor. Dine inside and enjoy a comfortable space with a warm, elegant ambiance, wood finishes, and a stone fireplace — or check out their picturesque outdoor seating. Brenner’s on the Bayou is an elegant steakhouse and seafood restaurant with a cozy bar area, wine cellar, and spacious patio. Their head chef, Jose Parada, aims to deliver a world-class experience for guests by using only the freshest ingredients in his dishes. 

Brenner’s on the Bayou was named “Brenner’s Café” when it was opened in 1936 by husband and wife Herman and Lorene Brenner. Herman and Lorene met at a restaurant in downtown Houston where they both worked, and the two decided to open their own restaurant while Herman was still working as a waiter at the Rice Hotel. The restaurant served breakfast, sandwiches, fried chicken, and a few steaks, which were a rarity at the time. By the 1950s, The Brenner’s started serving a prime beef filet for $3.50. Over the years, the restaurant has been moved and renovated, morphing into the upscale dining experience it is today. 

Brenner’s on the Bayou has unique menus with a variety of appetizers and main courses. Their main menu has a few shareable options, including the gulf oysters, roasted oysters, tuna tartare, Texas quail, and a seafood tower. Main dishes include Renaissance Farms roasted chicken, crispy duck leg confit, herb-marinated ostrich tenderloin, and — of course! — excellent steaks. Brenner’s also offers an extensive seafood menu, a weekend brunch, and mouth-watering dessert. Brenner’s on the Bayou is a wonderful Houston location to gather with loved ones and enjoy excellent food.
