What people say, in short
Brenner's receives recommendations across its Houston steakhouses, with the Bayou restaurant specifically named for its setting. One diner praises the surroundings, food and service, while others find the meal overpriced or disappointing. Reports of uneven steak doneness add a food caveat to the appeal of the view. The original West Houston restaurant also comes up in recommendations and is a different location.
