The Crown Jewel of Texas Creole Cuisine and Southern Hospitality

Brennan's of Houston has a rich history rooted in the 1967 opening as a sister restaurant to the world-famous Commander's Palace in New Orleans. Incorporating the freshest local ingredients, we offer exceptional dining, including many original creations among our award-winning cuisine. From pan to plate to palate, our brigade of culinary professionals directs its overwhelming passion for food and hospitality at creating great memories for every guest every time.

Our unpretentious, efficient staff -- a lovable band of misfits that range from Ph. D's to those who couldn't get out of high school quick enough -- connects to one-to-one with customers to pinpoint what truly matters, then tailors each dining experience to their specific desires to create lasting memories. For weekend dinners, Brennan's Creole Jazz Brunch remains a four-star tradition among Houston's Sunday brunch enthusiasts. The air is filled with an abundance of tantalizing jazz music and the fragrance of fresh flowers; southern mainstays and twists on classic favorites are graciously served in sun-filled dining areas.

The menu––created by Gatlin, Gatlin BBQ Executive Chef Michelle Wallace, and Fins & Feathers’ Chef de Cuisine Darius King––is a mouthwatering testament to traditional Southern fare’s modern inclusiveness. The expansive list of starters is sure to set the tone with Chargrilled Oysters to New Orleans BBQ Shrimp or try the Not My Momma’s Biscuits with seasonal jams. The Clucker is Gatlin’s spin on a charcuterie board. Their menu also includes head-turning soups and salads, showstopping Sandos, and an extensive list of entrees from fried chicken to catfish, all promising generous plates of nostalgia. It is the New South, in full possession of its delicious diversity.
