I don't get up to San Fran too often, but when I do, I like to make sure it's worth my while, and whoever else joins. Cubs-Giants game? Let's do it right! Dinner before a show, let's make it a great meal!
Brenda's is definitely a great meal, very competent & authentic food, solid drinks, an inviting space, good service, low prices for SF, and only one small knock, which you can read at the end.
In my mind, they use a fancy name to denote creole or Cajun cooking. No matter what they term it, I can get behind flavorful dishes with some heat.
Beignet Flight - so good.
Gumbo, I believe. I know for sure it tasted great.
Shrimp Po-Boy!!!
Shrimp n Grits!!!
A money-shot of the chocolate-filled beignet...
If you feel like walking through an iffy 'hood, around homeless people, drugs, garbage & needles, definitely make it out to Brenda's. I didn't think it was that big of a deal to get there (to me), but it's not exactly a scenic neighborhood either. Know that going in and you should be fine.
And perhaps this kind of neighborhood is now commonplace for people that live in SF all the time.
