Brenda's Meat & Three - Southern restaurant (US) in San Francisco - 919 Divisadero St, USA

Simply sublime food. Seriously, I’ve spent a lot of time in the Deep South, and this is right up there with the greats. I went for the titular meat and three, and enjoyed every last morsel. The fried chicken was definitely brined in something beforehand, giving it ample flavor throughout. The Mac and cheese was scrumptious and the (vegan?) greens were nice too. Big props on the killer cornbread as well. If I had to make any suggestions to the restaurant owners, I guess the atmosphere is just kinda okay? Not bad, but not awesome. But it doesn’t matter because the food kicks butt with both feet! Highly recommend this place overall.

I would give B’sM&T 10 stars if that were possible! What an amazing restaurant…this was our first visit to San Francisco and our meal at Brenda’s will be a fond food memory for life. We ordered the Fried Chicken (dark meat), the cheesy grits, collard greens and a Bavarian beer bottled. The fried chicken is served with the most moist, crumbly cream biscuit that along with the cheesy grits and pepper jelly is food nirvana! The fried chicken is phenomenal. I think words will not do this experience justice so I’ll stop now. Super highly recommended!

As usual Brenda’s consistency will win you over every time. With the huge portions and great atmosphere you just can’t lose. -pulled Pork hash(flavorful and plentiful) -BBQ spare ribs x2(two big ribs with 3 sides yum!) -Pulled pork Benedict(the biscuit takes this to another level)

Came in on Sunday morning, it looked pretty busy but the back patio was open. However, we were able to sit inside. Server took our and the food came out super fast. My kiddos had Our Egg Benedict and hubby and I share a Brenda's special fried Chicken.. I will never get over the fried chicken. BTW, we were here visiting from DFW. Can't wait to come back. Keep the great service and amazing food.

Came for a late lunch. Maybe early dinner. I got a few different items to try from the menu: Red Beans and Rice Thigh fried chicken Biscuit I thought there wasn't enough rice in the cup but I was wrong. It was amazing. Nice side of heat and very flavourful. Perfect starter for a meal. The fried chicken was great. I'm not sure what the batter is made out of but it's great. The shiny coating and extra crunch works great. I really enjoyed this southern style fried chicken. The biscuits was light and didn't kick in until the second bite. I feel happy and full. Glad I came here for a meal. Would comeback.

The food was some good/ some not so good. I had a to-go order so no comment on the service but the host was very nice and had a nice smile. I ordered the chicken 3 piece dark meat with sides. The chicken was a bit burnt which made it very crunchy but not in a good way. I got 1 chicken leg on the size which was almost $4 and was tiny. Maybe I’m used to seeing larger chicken legs. 3/5 The sauce that came on the size was like a spicy honey something. That was very good! Unfortunately, I was only give 1 small sauce and the cup wasn’t even full. 3.5/5* *(would be a 5/5 if they gave more than 1 or at least filled the 1) My sides: Mac and cheese 3/5 It had a nice cheese layer on top, it’s got good flavor. Mashed potatoes 2.5/5 There is no gravy!! Was it extra? Did they even have any? It was just plain mashed potatoes. Needed some pepper to jazz it up since there was no gravy. Corn bread 2.5/5 It was good, I got a good size slice. But it was corn bread that was underwhelming. I’ve had better with just a box of jiffy and some sugar baked on top. The beignets trio (1 chocolate, 1 plain, 1 apple) 0/5 This was the saddest part of the entire meal!!! I was so disappointed, it was just huge balls of dough with some filling and they tasted awful! I had to throw them all away. I tried so hard to make them taste good. I put them in my air fryer.. it was just gross. A big thick ball of fried dough Overall the food was okay, it was good enough to try once but not good enough to ever come back more than once in a lifetime.

Great place to get southern American meal. We had a great brunch at Brenda’s. They have a large choice of food on weekends because you can choose between breakfast and lunch dishes. The food was super good, flavourful. I loved the texture of the grits with the shrimps and tomato. The spicy chicken burger is also a great choice and comes with fries, coleslaw or salad. The ambiance, super comfy, as well as the staff were also great.

I was very excited to go here, considering the highly rated reviews. Overall, found the prices for this place to be too high. It was $25 for one meat and three sides. I got a blackened catfish piece with mac n’ cheese, collard greens, and fries. The catfish didn’t have enough blackened flavor and was plain. The mac n’ cheese was most disappointing, tasting almost sweet and heavily of sour cream. The collard greens were meaty and savory, while the fries were really good. These comfort foods felt hard to mess up, yet somehow this was expensive while not hitting the spot.
