- DDanivipMinneapolis - St. Paul •10 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWhat a true Gem! The service, food and ambiance were amazing. We will definitely dine here again when we come visit. We had the arugula salad, the pork chop - which my husband, who travels a lot, said it was the best thick cut pork chop he'd every had. I don't have burgers often so I was looking forward to the wagyu burger, but they had literally changed the menu that day to add a short rib burger instead of the wagyu. Never had a short rib burger before but it was amazing! Grilled, tender and very flavorful. I also had the fries and they were great. We had the pot de creme for dessert - perfect! Flavor was amazing - not too sweet. Everything was exceptional - including the very knowledgeable and very welcoming host - Jemele (I apologize if I'm misspelling) and our server - Sammie J - Outstanding!!More infoCopper VinePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Central Business District•4.8

- DDionnevipDetroit / Eastern Michigan •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI had been to Brennen’s almost 50 years ago!!! My father told me to go to Brennens for breakfast and order the “Milk Punch.” And so coming again 50 years later Brennens did not disappoint . Everything about my past experience there came flushing back to me, only this time I appreciated being there even more. It was still so beautiful and the food was amazing. My husband had the Scottish egg dish and I had the Duck egg and Duck meat hash. Superb food and beautiful decor . Don’t miss the Brennens experience. Pictures to follow… we even came back the same day for happy hour cocktails.More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.8
