Brenda French Soul Restaurant


The wait can seem ridiculously long, looking at the chalkboard list of 20+ groups before yours, but the food is something I wouldn't mind experiencing every now and then. Although this place is located in the Tenderloin, it's not entirely bad especially since it's close to City Hall and you can easily go one block onto Van ness and get coffee at Philz. I was surprised to see the prices to be reasonable and affordable. Brenda French Soul Restaurant serve an extremely rich breakfast and brunch food.

Their unique dish, the beignet, are pretty standard. There are four flavors: plain, apple, chocolate, and crayfish. The crayfish by far was my favorite due to the flavor of the spices. I blissfully enjoyed the sweet watermelon tea with its nice light flavor. The chicken, sausage, okra gumbo had a nice kick of spices. My friends had the catfish po'boy and egg and bacon tartine with grits, which they both said were good and wholesome. The place is a bit cramp but cozy and there always seem to be a crowd (especially during the day).
