First off.. Shrimp and grits are tasty! Everyone working here is very friendly, accommodating, and helpful! It has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is always nice to have the option. They have a good selection of breakfast and lunch, so you can surely bring friends here and they can find something they like! The atmosphere is very welcoming too! Beignets are also a must try- especially their strawberry jam!

We planned to go to a nearby testaurant but they had no outdoor seating for our dog so we got a table at Brenda's instead. What a delightful experience! Besides the friendly waiter, enjoyed the food so much that we FORGOT to take photos. That's a first. Highly recommend: 1) Blackened catfish with compote 2) Savory crawfish and cheese beignets 3) Pork belly with cheesy grits 4) Jambalaya 5) Coleslaw 6) Mr Espresso coffee We spent a week eating our way around New Orleans this year so can report that this food is every bit as mouthwatering and flavorful as the food there. Our lucky experience getting seated immediately was because other diners came late so check out how to reserve a table and be on time. ENJOY! PS Please do not wear lavender scent of any kind because a waiter is allergic.
