Dinner at Brenda's last night was Christmas come early. And did Santa Brenda deliver. Everything was brimming with taste. The Shrimp Pot Pie knocked me out of my chair. The hot jam and cornbread was fire. The chicken ... it had me speaking in tongues. My bugs devoured mash potatoes, chicken and biscuits and still had eyes for tasty beignets. The staff was sweet too. Thanks, Brenda. You're an amazing gift to Oakland.
Usually when I order to go from other places its not as good as dining in and eating, but here!! Ordering to go taste just as good as dining in. 10/10 food places that I have fried in oakland!!!!
Let me start with the positives. The gumbo was good, the fried oysters were prepared perfectly. Now the bad, the beignets were completely wrong and tasted like the oil they were fried in. I've been to Louisiana dozens of times and have had beignets every time. These were not beignets, they were dense and heavy. The biggest disappointment was they were a buy one get one free. I threw them out.
