By Robb Walsh | Thu, August 14, 2003

There is a pleasant aroma inside Brenner's Steakhouse and it isn't my medium-rare New York strip: I sent the steak back. My dining companion, who ordered a medium filet mignon, sent hers back too. Both were too rare. My tablemate detects the same ... More »
Danke Schön

By Melanie Knight | Thu, September 06, 2001

We can only say thank you to Brenner's (10911 Katy Freeway, 713-465-2901) for offering an alternative to the national meat of Texas -- chicken-fried steak. Like its dining room, a relaxing setting with wood paneling, a cozy fireplace and an elderl... More »
Hot Plate

By Alison Cook | Thu, March 24, 1994

Life After Mrs. Brenner It is instructive to note which restaurants Houston expatriates rush to when they come home again. It's not the fancy or ambitious or high-concept places my visitors seem to pine for; it's eateries that satisfy some prim... More »
