The menu here is based on the Southern diner tradition of ordering your meat dish with 3 sides. A rotating selection of dishes includes the famed fried chicken , baby back ribs , and country ham steak . Read more

This place is excellent. I am not one to get the same thing every time I go to a restaurant but the Shrimp and Cheesy grits are amazing. I get it every time. Service is awesome as well .

SFGate

This is a great spot to drop in for a lunch and very popular to boot. Make sure to try the Fried chicken with three sides. For dessert got for the Hot apple-berry Cobbler with ice cream . Read more

Cute little place serving tasty Soul Food . Their fried chicken is awesome and also their oysters . Don't get put off by the waiting line , it goes quite quickly. Love the Big Momma's Chicken Sandwich .

Erica Lovelace

I had an amazing pork belly special with cheese grits , onion jam and a freekin poached egg . WOW it was rich but so good. Go closed to 2:00 to avoid a super long line .

Thomas Colton

Dude, if you come here, you'd better be ready to EAT! Nothing bad on the menu, but I'm partial to the fried chicken , mac and cheese , and peach and blueberry cobbler (pictured).

Megan Allison

No wait for a Sunday dinner . Cute lesbians everywhere dishing out friendly service , delicious food and a surprisingly hip beverage selection in a perfectly appointed space. Zero complaints.

You seriously need to order the corn succotash omelette with the cheese grits and biscuit (with the fried chicken cutlet and sausage gravy on the side). You're welcome.

Petra B.

My go to’s are the pork belly grits , shrimp and grits , crawfish beignets and the watermelon iced tea . You can’t go wrong with those!

Trace D.

The biscuits and gravy with the chicken cutlet are to die for. The people are super, and every bite of every dish is delectable! The only downside is their limited bar selection.

Saranya Sampat

The biscuits and gravy is a must try. You get 2 eggs of any style and I chose poached. Add fried chicken breast for $5. It was a perfect Sunday brunch .

SFist

This popular spot serves hardcore Southern faves like biscuits and gravy , ham and eggs , and sweet potato pancakes that acolytes see in their dreams. Get there early! Read more

The second location of the "Brenda's" family, from the owners of Brenda's on Polk, Meat & Three serves up delicious (and heavy/rich) dishes to long lines on the weekend—shorter lines during the week.

Jaiy Buck

Make sure to check out the Meat and Three option! I particularly like the Mac b Cheese as well as the red beans and rice to go with my fried chicken .

Ricky Sherrill

I am from the South and grew up going to these type of spots. They do a great job here. Went for lunch & want to go back again for breakfast .

Fried Chicken is delicious but man the beignet is definitely the star. I was surprised how much I liked the crawfish but the chocolate is a fave.

Kendal Cockrel

Beignets were amazing and HUGE. Also, biscuits and gravy + fried chicken = heaven! The wait isn't as long as it's sister restaurant but they only seat full parties.

Coralie Sabin

Dinner is better than brunch in my opinion. Share a meat and three: Mac n cheese , biscuits and mashed potatoes are delicious. Any meat is great!

SFist

Head to Brenda's French Soul's brand new spinoff for lunch . They'll be serving po'boys with your choice of fried shrimp , fried oysters , or fried catfish . Just in time for fattening up for winter Read more

tina huang

never skip out on the beignets , pulled pork hash , or watermelon sweet tea . if there's a beignet special, order it!!

Nicole Rocchio

The beignets and pulled pork scramble were delicious! Apple beignet is by far my favorite.

Shawn Calhoun

It’s ALL good. Killer fried chicken , gumbo and of course beignets to top it all off. You can’t go wrong.

Ashley Rose

Heavy, to be expected southern food . Gumbo and biscuits and gravy are a must.

Jennifer Slotnick

Chicken fried steak was great with hot sauce . Loved my mashed potatoes and garlic spinach .

tablehopper

A thick slice of fried Saag’s bologna ($8.25) is generously layered with pimento cheese and tucked into a toasted bun . This sandwich is one of those things that is so wrong but, really, so so right.

Johnry Mangonon

The fried chicken was delicious! I recommend adding some of the Louisiana hot sauce and having the stewed okra & tomatoes .

Steve Tan

I came for brunch and enjoyed the food here more than the original Brenda's! Was looking forward to the crawfish beignet but sadly they don't have them on the menu here.

Renée Vargas

The salmon is out of this world. Cornbread comes with a delicious pepper jelly . Save room for dessert !

Melon L

Fried chicken sandwich is amazing, but skip the pulled pork hash . Calas are also extremely dense, be prepared to be full after eating only 2.

George Hayes

Biscuits and Gravy with Fried Chicken was excellent for brunch !

Alex Smith

The latest from soul food queen Brenda Buenviaje with great brunches and meat. Get Shrimp hushpuppies , it's really good - https://luka.ai

Frances James

Great spot by Brenda of Brenda's brunch fame. Really solid biscuits and other southern food done right

Ryan Yun

Get the fried chicken ! You get to try the side of pickled watermelons .

Sam Kakria

If you're confused by the awesome dish choices, some dishes have a 'taste' option so you can sample before you commit :)

Brett W

Hush puppies , red beans and rice , collard greens , fried catfish , peach cobbler ... yes,everything

Ceren Ateş

Delicious food and great service. Will be our go-to indulgent breakfast spot .

Caitlin G

Pulled pork hash and the calas (donuts ) with maple butter

Michael Alderete

There is never a good reason to not get the gumbo or red beans and rice . If you don't eat it there, take it to go.

Paula Holt

Collard greens to die for, divine biscuits , many wonders with a touch of Cajun. Yum.

Jeff Melnyk

Delicious. The gumbo was perfect. Real southern service with a cheeky smile.

Bailey Douglass

Delicious but very rich-good brunch items for pescatarians

Jess Falkenthal

Their chocolate-filled beignets are soooo good!

Michael

The spicy chicken sandwich is really good. Also recommend that iced tea with watermelon .

Justin Edmund

The fried chicken benedict is amazing.

Rachel Roth

Go early or risk a long line for their enourmous beignets !

Geoff Reinhardt

The beignet flights are incredible.

Mikahla Vicino

Definitely grab a flight of beingets to try all the flavors!

Rich Yannacone

Anything. Great beer as well

Amanda Moreland

All of the brunch food at this place rocks. One of my favorite Restaurants .

John Stefanski
