Brenda's - Oakland

I really enjoyed eating at this restaurant the breakfast food is so delicious the biscuits/ gravy with chicken is yummy and the flight of beignets are a must have..I recommend trying this place!!

Brenda's is fantastic, the beignets are fresh and they've got some interesting options like ube! The breakfast food is generally very good, but I'd personally recommended sticking to the southern specialities as that's where they shine.Not the cheapest spot, but you'll only spend a couple of extra bucks. Lines get long fast so an early breakfast is the way to go.

Delicious Creole style food , several vegan options. I tried the vegan-que po boy with the Creole potato salad and it was definitely one of the best po-boy sandwiches I have ever had . My non vegan friends all seemed extremely happy with there selections as well . We all left feeling full and satisfied. I 'll be returning here for

Not what I expected from a Creole restaurant. I tried the place twice. Both times they forgot to bring my Beignets so I had to back them and eat them at home where they were no longer fresh or as good as they should have been They were also a little heavier than I expected. The food is very expensive for rather small portions shrimp and grits) the mimosa was too sweet Berry flavors) and too expensive. And no champagne glass. The food was mediocre at best. Bacon was not good. The banana foster was too sweet. And everything came out separately and not very hot. One thing that really bothered me was not being properly greeted by the blue hair hosted both times. And not seeing any black staff in the front of the restaurant and all Latinos in the back. Where is the black staff? When you are serving southern food in Oakland. All white hipsters' really? gentrification is real. I will not return.

Good southern food! I might be hooked on this Mac and cheese!
