"A staple of Texas Creole cuisine and sister to the Commander’s Palace in New Orleans, Brennan’s in Midtown offers decadent dishes like turtle soup, chili-fried Gulf oysters, Gulf fish Pontchartrain, and bananas Foster prepared tableside with a fiery flourish. The famed Terms of Endearment room, inspired by a scene from the 1983 Oscar-winning film shot here, adds charm to the restaurant’s already classic atmosphere." - Marcy de Luna
"An offshoot of New Orleans legend Commander’s Palace, Brennan’s has been open in Houston for more than 40 years and is the definition of a local icon. Try the famed snapping turtle soup, shrimp remoulade, and classic gumbo. And go big or go home with the Gulf Fish Pontchartrain, a combination of jumbo lump crab, shrimp, and Louisiana oysters, served with Parmesan mushroom rice and Brennan’s Creole butter." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Brennan’s Of Houston, a classic Creole restaurant, brings Big Easy glamor to Midtown with its Live Oak trees, chandeliers, and servers in vests lighting food on fire. Brennan’s is the only spot in town serving a bowl of snapping turtle soup with drizzles of sherry. The next time you're looking for a nostalgic night, get that, the gulf fish pontchartrain with crab and fried oysters (which is the best of the Gulf on one plate), and their iconic bananas foster flambéed tableside." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"This esteemed establishment is spread across two levels on a quiet corner in Midtown, with plenty of nooks to discover. Begin the evening with a cocktail at the bar, which opens up to the restaurant’s picturesque open-air courtyard. Then, settle into one of the oversized wing chairs in the main dining room to feast on dishes like Gulf fish Pontchartrain, cornbread-stuffed quail, and Brennan’s legendary bananas foster, flambéed tableside for a dramatic finale." - Brianna Griff
