Brenda's French Soul Food Reviews
We had a wonderful dinner at Brenda's French Soul Food! Everything was incredibly delicious! As a fan of fried chicken, I must say that their fried chicken was superb! It was very well-seasoned, crispy on the outside, and well-cooked, juicy, and tender on the inside. The gumbo was also amazing, and on the day we ate there, they had shrimp pot pie on the daily menu which was awesome! The banana bread pudding was also very good!

Went to Brenda's for SF restaurant week for Tuesday lunch.Got the Big Mama's Seafood Gumbo Deluxe for $38. The gumbo size was very generous and I had to box up half the leftovers. There were a lot of shrimps at the bottom and 2 Dungeness crab legs. Loved the taste of the gumbo.Personally, I'd want a little more variety. A little smaller gumbo and something on the side.Service was impeccable. I was seated immediately and the team attended to all my requests promptly.

I need a deep dark roux in my gumbo. Restaurants that make gumbo in mass quantities Make their roux in a cookie sheet with pre-mixed fat and flour. Then they put it in the oven. That gives them tons of roux to make multiple batches of gumbo.Also, props on the beignets. You're about halfway there. You need the hole in the middle. But it is incredibly difficult unless there's one person dedicating themselves to the beignet dough. So I can't blame you for that.
