9 Best American Restaurants in Brenham

“You have to stop for lunch at LJ's!!!!!!LJ's knows how to add the right blend of flavors to each of their menu items. The brisket was so tender I could cut it with my fork. The beans were full of flavor. The ribs were falling off the bone. Hell, it was so good I wouldn't even question the hour drive just to get some more BBQ from Ljs.Do yourself a favor and check out LJs.Kid-friendliness: 100%Wheelchair accessibility: 100%“

“This is an absolutely underrated, undiscovered place. The food is AMAZING, the service is just as good and the atmosphere is great for families or couples. They had one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. I trusted the server to order seabass and my 7 year old and 4 year old ended up loving it so much THEY ate it!“

“While every establishment is raising prices and serving less and less food- not Santa Fe!! I've been 15 20 times. Food is served hot , delicious and affordable. Hands down the best and friendly service in Washington county. Breakfast is on spot. Lunch ONE of my favorites is fried pork chop on Mondays. Chili cheese burger amazing. You will feel at home and you'll think your Mom is in the kitchen in the best way possible!! Here's to the crew at Santa Fe!!!“

“We were pleasantly surprised at the large selection of gluten free items on the menu. Our server, Jeff, was very friendly and helpful and checked on us often. The food was basic but good, the eggs cooked correctly and the glass of OJ was large.Dietary restrictions: Good for gluten free meals“

“When you first arrive into a gravel parking lot surrounded by tin industrial buildings, you may wonder what you're doing there. Once you get behind the building in front of you the place takes on a completely different ambiance. There are several clean well kept picnic tables under a pergola. There are cafe lights and a small stage for music on weekends. The music is not overly loud so conversation is easy. Some people were playing games or cards. There is a bag toss game set up for people to use as well as a large grassy play area for kids with play equipment for the little ones to enjoy. Heaters are set up outside if the weather is a little chilly. There were many families with young kids so it's a fun family atmosphere at a place where friends and neighbors can meet and have a beer while the kids play. An excellent food truck was available with good (bar) food. There is also an industrial type inside bar that's very inviting. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There is a large assortment of beer choices. Dogs are welcome.“

“Went for brunch today. All they were serving was breakfast which was perfect because that’s exactly what we wanted. We came right as their rush was ending. We overheard a waitress telling a table that their food could take up to an hour to come out but we waited anyways because we thought that even though it was packed there was no way the food would take an hour, which we were right. I would’ve left a higher rating but when our food came out it was cold. Taste was good but would have been much better had it been hot still.“

“Excellent experience. Friday night at 7pm...only about 1/4 of the tables filled. Quick and friendly service with no issues. Argentinian Chimichurri and Buffalo Chicken flatbreads were rated as excellent (some of the better bread we've tasted in a while)...Cowboy Sliders also excellent. We ate inside, but the outside certainly appeared to be popular too.“

“Food and service are great. Visiting from out of town. The first 2 impressions were not good signs, dirty entry area and hostess chatting in the kitchen. BUT atmosphere was great once inside. The wait staff and kitchen staff made me want to come back.First impressions are everything! See you again when back in town. Will be back.“

“every time we go to Brian College Station we make it a point to stop here. In fact, we go past Bryan College Station and head to Nathan‘s. You will not find nicer people or a prettier and cleaner restaurant but today the food was off and seven or eight of us thought it was good but just rather bland. I’m sure it was just an off day for them and we will not change our intent to eat here next time. It just may be all pinto beans instead of barbecue. Love theNathans people!“
