Southern comfort food with Big Easy flair: fried chicken & beignets
"Brenda's offers southern favorites in a diner style restaurant. Meat and three refers to a meat entrée with three sides. Service is quick and the food is delicious. Great for lunch, better for brunch. Two words to remember, though, when going in: fried chicken." - Upperquad
"This sophomore effort from New Orleans native Brenda Buenviaje offers a restaurant-y take on the classic Southern meat and three. It’s an affordably priced option as far as the neighborhood is concerned. Order crackly fried chicken, po’ boys, and vegan corn succotash. And remember that the U-shaped bar is a great perch for parties of one or two." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Brenda’s always made a serious bowl brimming with chicken, andouille, and okra." - Becky Duffett
"Brenda’s Meat & Three is the smaller offshoot from the people behind Brenda’s French Soul Food in the Tenderloin. Here you order one entree and three sides like mac and cheese or green beans to go with it. When you’re trying to decide what meat to get, know that their fried chicken is excellent." - Julia Chen 1, Ricky Rodriguez
"Walking into Brenda’s Meat and Three I found a charming spot with a semi-circle bar and homey energy where the fried chicken was irresistible—thin, crunchy batter clinging to succulent meat—accompanied by an impossibly fluffy biscuit, rich mac and cheese, and garlicky spinach." - Eater Staff
