Very nice restaurant. Good artsy atmosphere, fusion menu, clean bathroom, pleasant staff. Use a lot of local sourced food. Asian beef wraps very good, as was the bacon cheeseburger special. Kale salad good, but not exceptional. Recommend. read more

We really enjoyed this place on our stop in Brenham. We both had the quiche and soup and they were great. Service was excellent. Even though their beer list was somewhat short, the ones they had on tap were excellent choices. read more

So happy to find this gem. We decided to venture into Brenham during our trip from Houston to Austin because we wanted something healthy to eat. We are so glad we did. My daughter had the Caesar salad with salmon and I had the kale salad with salmon. Both were great tasting and the portions were generous. We will definitely be back again. read more

We had a family gathering here on a Saturday morning. They put the 10 of us at the table in the wine room which was great. Private enough we could talk and carry on. The food arrived in a decent amount of time, and most of us really liked it. The shrimp was really good, so were the soup and sandwiches. The quail and flatbreads rated good. read more

Good server and tasty food. Classy and comfortable inside. You can dress up or you can come dressy casual and feel fine. I don't see a full bar but there's a good selection of wine and beer. Gluten-free options in all their big plates. Yay! (They would get 5 stars but their fryer was broken so a lot of menu options weren't available today.) read more

Had brunch here one Sunday while passing through Brenham. We live in Austin so there are lots of great brunch options at home, and 96 West ranks right up there with them! Service was great, and we were able to sit on the patio with our puppy- and the server even brought her some water. We will definitely return! read more

We're here once again this place does not disappoint amazing service amazing. Incredible environment love it

Thank you 96 West for bringing a little bit of the rest of the world into Brenham! I always order too much because everything on the menu looks so good and IT IS! There has been confusion over being seated and figuring out who our server is each time we come. But I can't discount the starts because of the quality of the food, the attention from the owner and the overall ambiance. We want you to be here for the long haul!!! read more

Best restaurant in Brenham, hands down. Creative, diverse menu, great service (Joseph was the man!), and delicious food. The lamb tostadas were exceptional, but our group shared 5 other dishes that were all great. I highly recommend this place. read more

We decided to try 96 West this afternoon for a late lunch. I'm not sure about the other folk who had 5 star reviews but we were not fans of the place. We waited for a table. We waited to get a drink (only to see the arrogant bartender put off our waitress because he was 'busy'). People were actually going to the bar to get their own drinks - competing with wAit staff? We waited for our food. Food was good - my husband loved his sandwich. Portion was relatively small. My salad was good although chicken was boiled or canned. Not sure? Regardless will not be back. Despite the operation of the restaurant our waitress was excellent. read more

96 West - New American Near Me - Brenham, Texas

Long story short food was good, service sucked, and they didn't keep their promises Let me get this out of the way. The food was good. The short rib was delicious the yucca fries were okay. My fiancé loved the cheese plate but I don't find cutting cheese a huge culinary accomplishment. The food gets this place one star. Now let's talk about the service, or lack thereof. We called ahead to make a reservation. The hostess told us they don't do reservations and when asked about a wait the hostess assured us that they haven't had a wait in three weeks. We get there and ask for a table and are informed of a "20" minute wait because the kitchen is backed up (so we can't be seated and have some drinks?). We were directed to a nice bar area where short-bearded-stocky-gentile David Krumholtz looking waiter took a drink order and provided what proved to be the best service of the night. Second and last star earned here. The wait was over twenty minutes but I'm not sure how long. We were told that our table was ready and that we needed to close out at the bar and I asked if our bottle of wine ($24 paid for before we were sat, this will be important later) would be brought out to us and it was. When the wine was brought out we ordered aforementioned cheese plate and it was brought out by a food runner. This is where our experience went down hill. So we had our cheese our bottle of wine and an empty waterglass. I didn't care for the wine and found a beer that looked good that I wanted to order. We sat outside where there were three other occupied tables all being served by the same waitress. She came checked on them and paid no attention to us, the only other table out there. This happened several times. Now I'm not sure if she's the same girl who took our cheese order but she was just about the only waitress outside. We waited and waited and even attempted to get her attention a few times. The manager/owner/hostess finally came out and we were able to get her attention. I mentioned to her that we hadn't been attended to since we got out there and that we needed our waitress. This woman took my beer order apologized and went inside. A while later one of the waitresses came and I informed her that I wanted the check because we hadn't been served since we sat down. No water refills no food orders and I still had not gotten my beer. She apologized and went inside. The manager came out with my beer and apologized and asked what she could do to keep us there and offered to comp the bottle of wine, which I informed her that I had already paid for the wine ($24 remember) and she said she would take it off of our food ticket. We decided to stay and ordered a few items. The food came out quick, the restaurant has pretty much cleared out by now. I ordered another beer and was told by the waitress it was on the house because she was sorry and all. Well the food was good, I was happier because I was getting a beer and $24-$30 off my ticket. We get done and ordered a desert to go which was brought to us on a plate and had to be taken back and boxed. I was brought the check and it didn't indicate the $24-$30 was taken off. I figured maybe the manager had not told the waitress of her former assurance that the wine $24 would be taken off. I confronted the manager and she told me that she took off the two beers and said "that's like $12". Well $12 isn't like $24 - $30 which would have been the total of the wine and the beer that I was told was "on the house". Very long story short the service sucked. Other tables outside were complaining amongst themselves about how slow the service was. And apparently the manager can't do simple math. I have never left a restaurant because of service but I wish I had left tonight. We had talked about coming back before we were mislead but we will not be coming back and will not be recommending this place to anyone. read more

visiting Brenham from Houston is something my wife and I like to do but finding a nice place for lunch is sometimes challenging. this restaurant fits the requirements. I had a beef wrap with a homemade relish and peanut sauce. it was OK. I also had mushroom soup-killer. my wife had flat bread with smoked salmon and dill. she loved it. ambiance good. if we lived closer we would be regulars. read more

Great addition to Brenham. We've been going to 96 West for a couple of years for the great beer and wine selection, friendly staff and unique appetizers. Nice upscale feel without outrageous prices. Worth a try when you come to bluebonnet country! read more

Best I have had in brenham. What's a great restaurant like this doing in a small town It great read more

I really wanted to like this place, but had poor service and a wrong order. A friend and I came for dinner during the Christmas Stroll. I asked to try a wine and he forgot so I had to ask again. He finally brought it, but when he came back to ask if I liked it and I said no, he immediately took our wine glasses and menu and walked away. I was going to order something different, guess not! My friend ordered the Waygu flatbread our server recommended and I ordered the crab cakes, all for us to split. The restaurant had an issue with their system crashing so it took a little longer, but our food came out and it looked great. However, my friend got the mushroom flatbread. No big deal, but when we realized it our server was nowhere to be found. We kept sitting there waiting for him to return, our food getting cold. We were trying to make the Christmas parade so I finally got up to ask the hostess for a manager. When she came over we explained what happened and the response was, our server crashed I'll offer you dessert. We were wanting to get to the parade so we couldn't stick around for dessert and she just looked at us, so we had to make sure she would correct our check and not charge more for the steak flatbread which was more costly. Our server walked over, she told him what happened and he said it's not a big deal, he can fix the check. No apology for his error. No offer to make anything right. Simply haphazard service. read more

This place used to be a restaurant that we came to for Mother's Day a few years ago & we wanted to visit again! Fortunately, I LOVE what it has turned in to! Great drinks, great people & a beautiful atmosphere! Also, love that they are very personable! Absolutely recommend this place! read more

Good food and good wine. Two of us shared crab and lobster nachos and salmon flat bread. Lots of meat, great flavors. We also had glasses of Chardonnay. Amazing on all parts, will stop here again. read more

96 West is billed as a Wine and Tapas bar. This is Tapas with a Texas flair; I can recommend the bacon wrapped quail. This is a great way to spend a cool evening, sipping wine while sitting out on the town square. Bring someone you enjoy being with and it makes for an evening well spent. read more

We loved our first visit to Ninety Six West! It's such a cool place in the historic downtown in Brenham. Great selection of wines, and very creative menu! We enjoyed our tapas and were eyeing those on the tables around us. We plan to return this weekend for more!! The outside seating area is just the place to sit and sip and enjoy long visits with friends! Kudos to the owners and staff here!!! read more

Liked their charcuterie plate and salad. Serving sizes were plentiful. The service was below par and I i charge that to the management and service training and expectations. Hard to enjoy the experience because of the latter. read more

This place is awesome. Literally the best cooked salmon I've ever tasted, and my husband's pork was out of this world. The red wine blend that they serve was really unique and enjoyable and I'll definitely have it again. The best thing is that the menu is updated every week; can't wait to see what's to come! While the atmosphere was certainly private and comfortable, it almost felt like the owners were hosting a beautiful dinner party and we were all guests...the music and the whole vibe was perfect. Love this place. read more

Medallions were great and the setting is very upscale for our little town. It's not pretentious just a little nicer than Most. Prices are high but the quality was better than expected and fit the price. Wine pairing was well thought out and the dessert just the right amount of sweet read more

Excellent service from the hostess to our waiter Jonathan. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in Brenham.

Mouth watering flavors with fantastic visuals. Comfy yet sophisticated. Our visit to 96 West was set with great service, relaxing wine and friendly atmosphere. It's forward thinking surrounded by historic charm. Love it! read more

Ordered the Chicken with Sweet Potatoes. Chicken was dry. Did not eat all of it. The yucca fries were absolutely gross. I asked for butter with bread and they said the butter is only used for the steaks and I couldn't have any. Wtf? Needless to say we will NEVER be back. I don't mind paying for expensive food but at least make sure it taste good..I will say that the gumbo that my husband had was actually good. That was it. read more

This is a charming downtown restaurant with the best pie I have ever eaten. The owners are really nice too. I am not a local, but I would go out of my way to go back here. read more

Nice place, great atmosphere. Not much variety, but the presentation was nice. Flatbreads are good, but some are better than others. Looks nice on paper but could be better. read more

The food was flavorful and tasty. The portions were small for the price. The waitress we had did a poor job of checking on us and bringing us refills. Also, the tables seemed way too close together, at least to me. I probably would not recommend this to people. read more

Very cute decor. Wait staff was attentive and very friendly. Food was a little underwhelming.

Painfully slow...bartender cleans glasses for stock before sending out drinks. Requested tabasco, wait staff brings by a bottle containing 4 drops casually also leaving 2 alternate flavors. I gueas it was the only bottle in the house. The owner came thru, didn't talk to one patron and left. The worst offense? Posting that they are open until 3 and turning away customers at 2:20. I will say they almost redeemed themselves with an excellent dessert until the waitress said they dont serve BlueBell, which is terrible for.a business located in Brenham read more

Really good place! Atmosphere is fresh, music was awesome (80's), and waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable. Soup was perfect, steak was cooked perfectly, accompanying veggies were tasty. Overall, a great place for a fancier dinner with lots of tasty beers on tap. Would love to come back! read more

Party of 3 walked in at 7:30 on a Saturday night and sat right down to a knowledgeable friendly waitress. So many wonderful sounding selections on menu. We went w the Jamaican Jerk Wings, Beef Lettuce wraps and the Lamb Tostadas! Our food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite! Almost forgot to mention the tortilla soup! If it's on the menu, order it! Your welcome! We will def be back to visit this lil gem in Brenham! read more

Passing through Brenham, we found this gem. The food was excellent. Started with the ceviche and yucca fries. For my main meal, I decided on a salad which had generous portions. I wouldn't mind making a special trip back to Brenham (a little over an hour drive) just to eat here again. read more

Very nice place to eat. Reasonable prices for the quality of food. Nice selection of regional beers.

Excellent food, service, and wine. Great place for Brenham locals and tourists. We ordered many things, only issue I had was that the stuffed chicken was dry, but everything else, perfect. Will come again! read more
