Restaurants in Brenham

“I've tried every BBQ place in town and this place is hands down the best. mouth watering slap your mama good. which explains why they sell out so fast. I recommend getting there right when they open because they really do sell out quick.”

“What a delicious treasure this is. EVERYTHING we ordered was cooked to perfection. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan which was out-of-this-world (a specialty?); grilled garlic bread; cabaret Sauvignon, garlic spinach; and their freshly made teramisu with AMAZING coffee! We left no crumbs behind. The ambiance was quaint and romantic. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and gracious. We even had a personal visit with owners Chef Brian and Gretchen Brossa to make sure we loved every bite! I can’t think of enough good things to say. What a premier dining experience you have right here in Brenham, Texas. I give them 10 Stars out of 10: Clean bathrooms, professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful and comfortable furnishings, relaxing atmosphere (sitting out on the porch while sipping my beverage), and best of all … my priority in selecting any dining experience … is every table is adorned with fresh linens. I can’t wait to come back for lunch!”

“Wow! We had sliced brisket sandwiches for lunch today (Brenham location) and they were by far the best we’ve ever had anywhere! Don’t know why anyone would put bbq sauce on it! Even the potato salad was excellent! There was a line when we got there but I expect that with any good restaurant. We have tried bbq in all parts of TX and this was by far THE BEST! We’ll be back!”

“Wine Bar Brenham is the best place to come out and hang out chill have some amazing wine some local beer and meet new friends, play some games listen to some local talent you can’t go wrong”

“This is in my opinion the Best Italian Resturant around Washington county. I’m always greeted well, food and portions are amazing! Highly recommend. If I could have figured how to upload a picture of my food I would have. Absolutely yummy!”

“Most definitely the best food I’ve had in Brenham! The Mahi burger is to die for…and the service was great as well.”

“Great food and service. We sat at the bar and loved our experience. The smoked bacon mac n cheese is a must. We were visiting from out of town for one night and decided to try it after looking at reviews. Great vibe. If we lived there we would be regulars.”

“Comida y ambiente maravilloso. Buen lugar para disfrutar con amigos y familia”

“It's a great location. The drinks are on point. Most importantly, the people who work there go out of their way to create a fun, yet sophisticated atmosphere.”

“Great place to eat with your family after church!”

“Food was pretty good, I enjoyed the dirty rice and shrimp brochette. The Ahi Tuna nachos were fun and the layers of flavor were tantalizing, though a little spicier than we expected. Service was great - don't know how to spell server's name, but he was wonderful at taking care of our large family.”

“This is kind of a weird setup they use the inside of Chili's for their kitchen you have to order online and they'll bring it out to your vehicle you cannot go in and sit down and eat but the wings were good they have a decent amount of flavors it was definitely worthwhile to try it out”

“Had lunch today and got the best service in town. Ordered a burger, fried rice, and the boudin balls. Didnt catch the servers name but she was wonderful.”

“Great food and great service.”

“Check their hours of operation prior to arrival.
Very cute production facility with a good free observation deck. They dont offer tours nor allow photos of the production facility but the grounds are nice. They have a very cute little store and a scoop of ice cream is only $1. You wont need more than 1-2 hours but we'll worth a trip”

“Thank you HSF Biergarten for letting us host our baby fiesta there! Weather was a bit questionable so they let us take over the inside! Great service, great drinks and a great band! We will definitely be back, baby in tow!”

“I got a lemon meringue pie yesterday and it was so delicious!!! We loved it!! Thank you!!”

“10/10 definitely recommend! The atmosphere of this place is fun, creative and safe!
The staff are all so friendly and informative. The drinks and the jello shots all tasted amazing.”

“Just had the double smash burger with onion rings! They were exactly what I needed to fuel the rest of my plumbing day! Highly recommend!”

“This place is a true gem in a great hidden gem of a city. Please do yourself a favor and check this place out.”

“Absolutely adorable spot! We stopped at Floyd’s Wine Bar in Brenham while en route to Houston so my husband could hop on a work conference call, and it turned out to be the perfect place to pause for a bit. The prices were very reasonable, and while the name says wine bar, they also have a full bar with fun, seasonal cocktails.

It’s obvious the owners have put a lot of thought and personal touches into the space. Every detail feels intentional—even the bathroom, which had a well-stocked cart with every amenity you could imagine (yes, even mouthwash!). There’s also a great patio out back that would be perfect for relaxing with a drink.

Charming, welcoming, and thoughtfully done—we’ll definitely stop here again the next time we’re passing through Brenham.”

“These are some of the best tacos I think I've ever had. I keep going back! Not to mention the customer service is phenomenal. Can't recommend enough.”

“I've been a customer for a long time and love everything I have tried! My absolute favorite is the red velvet pudding! Today I was craving cheesecake and wow, how have I missed it! I got the biscotti cheesecake and it was amazing! A huge piece, rich but not too, so good!!!! Of course I got some pudding for tomorrow! This place is a must try!”

“This place was amazing. The salads are to die for. I loved the honey Dijon dressing. Everything looked great and the kids loved it.”

“We have been known to enjoy delicious, home cooked lunches at Santa Fe & SP Cafe as often as 3 times a week. We have never been disappointed.”

“I never knew this place was here. Very tasty food, scratch made to your table in just a few minutes.”

“There's not many places left where you can get a wonderful BLT sandwich. I was visiting Brenham and had a wonderful experience here. I've never seen so much bacon in a BLT! And it was great!”

“None of the beers we tasted disappointed! Good body, flavors, cool names, looked amazing in the glass and tasted great. That says a lot! The interior and exterior spaces to enjoy your visit are inviting; even a play ground for the kiddos. Your dog can enjoy the outdoor spaces with you too. Music on weekends and darts! Food truck in residence! Thanks Miya for your excellent service!”

“The food at this restaurant is very good to the point I eat there at least once a week and unlike other restaurants in Brenham I have never had to send food back or gotten ill from eating at Pioneer. I do want to address some of the complaints about the wait staff. He believes in giving all people no matter the age a chance at a job sometimes its that persons first job and like all jobs we just start out at we fail sometimes. So applause to Mark for giving people a start everyone has to start somewhere so give the kids a break!”

“Incredible food and service! Every single item each person ordered was wonderful…. Scratch made buttery biscuits, perfect pancakes, quality sausage, French toast made from homemade bread…. All of it, wonderful! The service is as good as the food, the exude a level of friendliness and warmth like you’re coming into grandma’s kitchen! My parents live close and eat here often and we will be back anytime we visit!”

“Classic car club destination spot! Highly recommend to the classic car community and their supporters.”

“My rating is for the fairly good snowcones and the variety of Bluebell ice cream flavors offered. I'd been going there a lot since we enjoy the snowcones and ice cream. But the kids, especially one Hispanic female worker, in particular, started being very rude. She is the main reason I don't like going here anymore. I tried to get her to stop and explain that I wasn't complaining, but she kept being insistent. Then, she makes a derogatory comment about me to one of the other boys, and they both laugh. And now that's the case every time I visit here, just unprofessional and unbecoming of a popular little spot in our little town. Other than that, this is not a bad place at all. They have tons of other selling items that are cute to window shop for.”

“Best carnitas tacos on earth! I always say no to Pico but flour with carnitas and guac. Yumm! Sometime we crave it so much that we drive from the Woodlands to Brenham just for these tacos!”

“Carne asada nachos are good!”

“This is a great place. They were having a Halloween party and everyone was so cool.”

“New manager with 20 plus years,taking care business to get the store back together enjoyed our meal thanks”

“Nice place to eat after a long day rippin' lips on the lake ! The grub is good and the staff are too !!”

“Really nice patio and the food is good.”

“Everything is delicious, especially that California Burrito with the green sauce. Don't hesitate to stop by!”

“The service was just right. The food was filling amd tasted great. I went boring with the sausage gravy and biscuits, but it really hit the spot. No need for extra seasoning whatsoever. I also experienced my first perfect coffee. Comfortably drinkable temperature, excellently balanced sweet to bitter flavor, and the flavor profile of the add-ins didn't overwhelm the overall flavor. That and the consistency of the beverage was light, fluffy and delightful.”

“The best Mexican restaurant in Brenham; great food and service and good people.”

“Love the fried dumplings and the volcano shrimp...”

“Small Spanish grocery with a good Mexican food kitchen serving tacos, torts and other Mexican dishes. A basic mom and pop store owned and run by a very nice couple.”

“Best tasting and most beautiful wedding cakes ever! Truly an artist !!”

“They have a food truck it is amazing and the staff is amazing always cold beer and good atmosphere outside seating where you can take your kids during the day if you want to eat I recommend going there”

“The best!!! Such a cozy place and warm people”

“Brenham's Best Mexican cuisine right here! I have never had anything that wasn't hot, fresh and delicious!”

“We travel all over Texas 8 months out of the year from January-September. We try barbecue from TX Monthly’s Top rated barbecues. We recently ate at Black’s and they had NOTHING on HEB’s Bbq and sides. Texas monthly needs to drop in at HEB in Brenham. They will be pleasantly surprised.”

“Very pleased with lunch buffet and service today! Certainly has improved - pizza choices were excellent and hot, salad fresh, soup creamy and delicious & service excellent!”

“Good food and nice atmosphere!”

“Excellent food! I had the chicken poblano plate with grilled vegetables and it was delish! The service was excellent and the server even gave us a complimentary cup of the most amazing soup. Please eat here so it’s still here when I return to Houston!”

“Kudos to our server and to the chef! Great burgers and Salads!”

“None of the beers we tasted disappointed! Good body, flavors, cool names, looked amazing in the glass and tasted great. That says a lot! The interior and exterior spaces to enjoy your visit are inviting; even a play ground for the kiddos. Your dog can enjoy the outdoor spaces with you too. Music on weekends and darts! Food truck in residence! Thanks Miya for your excellent service!”

“We both had the grilled Cajun shrimp, with green beans and mac and cheese. I must say it was very good! the green beans were surprisingly well seasoned, as was the shrimp. We'll definitely come back the next time we're in Brenham. We wanted the chocolate chip ice cream Skillet but we were too full.”

“Fun atmosphere. Great service. The best pool players around.”

“Great food, staff and perfect for families !”

“The food was SO DELICIOUS! I can’t stop eating the Breakfast Enchiladas!!! Also, the service was so NICE! They gave me the EXACT thing when I ordered an unsweet tea and the Breakfast Enchiladas. The atmosphere was AMAZING! Overall, this restaurant is your place to go for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
#1 RESTAURANT! Not to mention the staff was very friendly!”

“Thai cowboy has been consistently delicious. I always order shrimp pad Thai and my husband always ordered shrimp fried rice and were both always very pleased. I would give a 10 if I could. Thai Cowboy is our favorite!!”

“Earlywine Breakfast Blend whole bean is one of the best coffees I've ever had. I hope you continue to produce it for a long time!”

“Amazing! The best part was the service—the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The ribeye was delicious, and the burgers were great too. We also loved the hand made fries. Definitely recommended!”

“Glad I stopped in to get authentic Mexican food before headed back west. It’s a must stop. 10 bucks, and way better than any fast food stop. I will definitely be back if I’m ever in the area.”

“This is such a friendly and welcoming place. Mike and his wife are super friendly. Everyone there made my wife and me feel right at home. We will be going back there whenever our trucking adventures take us thru Brenham , Tx.”

“New resident from Los Angeles diving by L. A. Chicken Shack. In Brenham Texas. Meisha, the very pleasant host, gave us the warmest friendly greeting. ? And satisfied the curiosity of," Are they from L.A." Meisha was more than happen to give us the history of L.A. Chicken Shack. They are from Louisiana. Not what L. and the A. stands for. U wanna know, go to L.A. Chicken Shack to find for yourself. Meisha will be waiting for you with a Big Ole' SMILE? The”

“Had the absolute best experience today, Clara took extreme caution and care making my Dairy Free pizza. Her attitude and kindness while making the pizza were the absolute best customer service I’ve seen any where in Brenham, in our 5 years here! ❤️ huge thanks to her, as this was my first time eating out anywhere in town since going dairy free (again- for baby)”

“Very good, fresh, bread pudding, good variety. Nice staff, very clean.”

“Best dang green sauce around - fantastic fruteria in the back - agua natural de sandia 🍉 is the most refreshing thing ever - street tacos are my favorite - beef or pastor.”

“Amazing food! And customer service! Highly recommend eating here.”

“Crew were on point and very attentive as you wouldnt expect during the holidays. They made my evening better and I appreciate the hustle and attention to detail!!”

“I love their chicken so much I am taking a box back to Colorado as there are no Bush's there. I will enjoy my trip eating their delicious chicken”

“I had the chicken fried steak. The breading was excellent flavorful and not overly sick. The piece of meat itself was super tough. The gravy they served with it was also excellent and I could have used about another extra serving of potatoes. We got the broccoli cheese soup instead of salad for the other side and it was very tasty obviously homemade. Honestly my biggest food service was they don't have fun drinks and they have to buy your drinks by the can unless you went country time pay lemonade and they're going to treasure five bucks for it. And the portions were underwhelming.”

“horrible customer service”

“Good food :) good customer service too !”

“It’s hard to say what is better… the food or the service!! Both are AMAZING! I highly recommend this Texas gem!”
