Brenda's French Soul Food

I tried this spot for Sunday brunch based on its great reviews. We had a reservation, but for parties of two, it seemed walk-in seating was readily available—several two-tops remained open during our meal. However, a group of five that arrived before us wasn’t seated until we were almost done. So, I’d definitely recommend a reservation for any group larger than two. My main draw was the famous savory beignets. I ordered the crawfish beignets, and wow, they were dense! A set of three is served, and after about one and a half, I was surprisingly full, which impacted the rest of my meal. The tables are quite small, so the staff waits for you to finish appetizers before bringing out mains. For my entree, I got the Creole platter to sample a variety. In hindsight, I wish I’d chosen the seafoo

We had a wonderful breakfast here. The staff was friendly, warm, and on top of everything. Water service was great and I appreciated that they offered half orders for several items. The Bananas Foster French toast was amazing, rich without being too sweet. The andouille sausage was fantastic and full of flavor, and the strawberry jam was truly heavenly. I also had an iced Grandma’s Coffee with black walnut and whipped cream, which was delicious and felt like such a fun treat. We ordered the beignets too. They were a little dense, but the flavor was still very good. Overall, a great breakfast spot with excellent service and food that really stands out. I would definitely go back.

Favorite breakfast and brunch in San Francisco, it's popular for good reasons! My favorite spot everytime I come back stateside, it's the breakfast that gives me life after a 12 hour flight. It's a classic, and it stayed the same throughout the years. Service is nice, place is lovely. The area around is not the safest but it's safe inside. Food is awesome, their homemade watermelon sweet tea is my liquid IV. The beignets are delicious, the grits are buttery, the meat is tender and juicy. Their specials are always worth trying! They also have breakfast sandwiches that are cheap ($5-$6) and good to go, after 10 you get a free sando! The place used to be packed every morning, now it's a little more sparse, things seem to have changed through the pandemic.

Echo all the great reviews here. Quick service at 10:00 am on a Saturday morning. Pork belly grits were delicious. Nice and hot. Great crisp on the pork. Lots of good cheese and poached egg too. Spicy onion jam was really good. Croque Monsieur and slaw was good. Got the 3 way (plain, apple, chocolate) beignets. My fave was the plain, just because I like a pure beignet, but the chocolate and apple were also good. Good place to go!

The food is delicious. Service is fast and efficient. Atmosphere is OK, but what l expected. Parking socks. And I would come back again and again.
