3 words: Shrimp. And. Grits. The tomato-bacon gravy paired with 6+ tail-on shrimp and the cheesiest perfectly cooked grits. ‍

The food is delicious and prices are super reasonable, especially for SF. We hadn’t been back for quite some time, but upon returning to SF after living abroad, Brenda’s is a staple that is good even after all these years.

They have a dog-friendly back patio with heat lamps on request, though it might not be the fastest service if you sit out back. I thought there was also a fairly strong cleaning solution smell, though my hubs wasn’t bothered at all by it.

We’ll be back!

I recently had breakfast at Brenda’s Meat & Three in San Francisco, and it was such a delightful experience from start to finish! The moment we walked in, we were greeted by Alicia, the general manager, who made us feel completely at home. She was genuinely kind, attentive, and incredibly helpful, the type of person who makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. We ordered the two eggs your way combo, and it was exactly what a satisfying breakfast should be. What made this visit truly memorable was the care and attention we received from Alicia and the team.
The atmosphere inside is casual and inviting, with a comfortable neighborhood feel that makes you want to linger over your coffee. If you’re looking for delicious comfort food served with a side of genuine hospitality, Brenda’s Meat & Three should be at the top of your list. Thank you, Alicia, for making our morning so special!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is such a cute Cajun joint on Divisadero. We ordered the chicken jambalaya (breakfast special) and the crawfish beignets (very large) and they didn’t disappoint. Service was quick. The atmosphere is very cozy on a rainy day and this is the kind of place I’d be comfortable eating at alone, at the central bar. The music is lovely. Overall highly recommend!

Know this, they passed the Collards test. Oh everything else was on point as well. Three of us seriously enjoyed each of the meats, and sides from biscuit to fried okra. And leave room for dessert: this group agreed it’s a tie for first place between strawberry cobbler, banana foster bread pudding, AND the ube beignet. Yes a 3-way tie. Topped off with attentive yet genuine service.

There are not many restaurants that specialize in Southern cuisine so we were amped to come here. We debated on whether to opt in for the daily special menu but wanted to embrace the restaurant’s namesake (the concept of choosing the meat and 3 sides). We went all in across our family of 4 and we ordered the crawfish beignets to boot. The beignets way larger than we expected. We dug out the cheesy crawfish insides and left the outer crust. The ribs were the best; the catfish was okay but we expected more seasoning; the fried chicken was a disappointment. The coating felt extra hard and the meat was tough as if it was cooked before and fried again before serving? The sides that tasted best were the rice and beans and the cream biscuit. Some of the sides were lukewarm (okra & tomato, collard greens).

I really had high hopes for this place because I’m from the south and I love southern food… the reviews were good, the food was OK…
The gumbo was great! I probably should’ve ordered the crawfish beignets since that would have been freshly made, however, I ordered the ribs with macaroni, okra, and red beans and rice. The ribs were not fresh or flavorful, they are not BBQ ribs, they were dry and inedible, and I’m a meat lover. I ate half of one out of three ribs. The red beans and rice and okra were good, but the macaroni was not fresh. Not to say that I wouldn’t give them another chance, but I would stick to the stuff made fresh. That being said it was an expensive $40 lunch for one that I didn’t eat half of…

Excellent variety of flood and flavor minus swatting gnats the entire time. Great staff energy and hospitality. Pictured would be the Meat & 3, Spicy Chicken Sandwich & Gumbo cup.

Brenda’s Meat & Three is a must-visit! The beignets were incredible—especially the chocolate one—and everything else was just as tasty. I had the fried chicken eggs benedict and the special blueberry crumble pancake, both packed with flavor. The back patio is a great spot to eat, and parking was surprisingly easy. Great food, chill vibe—highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVED coming to this Brenda’s! I’ve been to their other location in Oakland so I knew I was in for a treat. You can tell that the chefs cook with care, the flavor is always immaculate and the warmth could heal you from the inside out

This was my first time trying their gumbo and I got a decent amount of seafood in it which I definitely appreciated. Plus the French roll was nice and crispy while soaking up the stew heavenly

My friend got the shrimp and grits, and I have to say, when I tried a bite of hers I knew that was what I needed to order the next time because OMG FLAVOR (I’d say if you’re deciding between the grits and the gumbo, go with the grits; Either way you’ll be satisfied so it’s really a win/win situation)

The beignets came out fresh and hot (AS THEY SHOULD) Absolutely delicious and thick with no air pockets inside. Those things were huge! My friend and I had one each and took the last one to go!

In terms of ambience, this place has a unique charm and I loved their bar area in the middle; It made everything feel homey and connected. A true diner experience.

Plus the service was great! Kind attentive staff that represented the heart of a soul food restaurant ‍↕️

I’ll definitely be back to this location for some of those grits!!
