Owen Brennan's Restaurant

We went for a Valentine’s Day dinner and everything was exceptional. We started off with cocktails, yummy local bakery bread and fancy butters, then perfect chargrilled oysters. We split the very large Caesar salad. Then, I had the filet and my husband had the pork chop. The steak was juicy and well seasoned, the fingerling potatoes were so good I ate many more than I meant to! And the vegetable medley was a nice surprise. The pork chop was so delicious he ate every bite, but I did have a taste and the sauce was just right. We also had another cocktail and the house Cabernet with dinner. We finished off the evening with the bread pudding. Just like I remembered as a kid from Sunday brunch! I’d say get a reservation (we did), at one point all tables in our section were filled!

This is a Memphis classic that pays homage to New Orleans cuisine. I brought my New Orleans friend to a group dinner and he had “thoughts” about the authenticity of the dishes. My gumbo was ok, but he said the consistency was not quite right. The server seemed to be putting on an amusing show with snippy quips. But overall, it was a good experience and a little taste of New Orleans.

Amazing New Orleans style restaurant in Memphis! If you have not been to Owen Brennan's please give them a try. The food is outstanding, the oysters are fresh, and the gumbo reminds me of home. Please ask for Matthew, he is the most gracious, attentive, professional, waiter I have ever met in the city of Memphis.

Our first visit was impressive & a great experience. Beautiful restaurant, decor, light fixtures are amazing, staff is great. Ron was our server & he was impeccable. Friendly, professional & we appreciated his recommendations. Our drinks were amazing - Old Fashion & Strawberry Pineapple & Coconut Cream mocktail- soooo good!!! We had the fried calamari to start. Lightly battered, crispy & well seasoned. I had the Cajun fish & chips/I opted for hand cut kettle chips, light batter & moist fish & crispy chips. My bf had the classic crawfish etouffee with rice / it wad unbelievable. So much flavour. And the soup of the day: roasted red pepper. Really tasty. To end our experience...we had The beignets and they were warm & yummy.

Love this place & the ambience. Lunch cost is about average in the Memphis location for lunch. The food & presentation is always great. Recently informed there will be live music on Wednesday nights - looking forward to the experience. I’ve also had their Sunday brunch buffet & omg! It was worth $50 bc there were so many options from standard breakfast, to shrimp / grits/ seafood such as shrimp/ raw oysters & they even have dessert like crème brûlée, cookies etc. Yummmmm. They also had live jazz music during Sunday brunch & I fell in love w/ this place. Definitely worth dining.
