Looking for a bite to eat on Christmas Eve after a round of golf at The Buckhorn, I came across this local gem still open for us to visit. As you walk into Brene's you get a warm inviting vibe to the place. The staff all welcomed us in and sat us down right away. Our waitress ran through the menu and so I order the 8-piece wing (4 buffalo / 4 lemon pepper) and my buddy orders the smash burger with onion rings. As we wait for our order, the manager comes by to talk with us and lets us know she has some fresh baked goodies for sale and long story short I end up leaving with a buttermilk pie. It was delicious. But I digress, when thing wings come out, the wings and drummies were both a good size with plenty of meat on the bone. They were fried nicely and not overly drowned in sauce. The buffalo sauce was nice and tangy, and the lemon pepper was on point. My buddy gave a thumbs up to the smash burger and onion rings. Overall, I'm glad we were able to stop in for some small-town hospitality right before Christmas. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more

In Comfort, TX it can sometimes be hard to find a good place to eat around 3pm as most of the other restaurant close around 2 or 3 and reopen at 5. Not Brene's. This is a nice establishment and the owners/staff were very friendly and made a concerted effort to make sure you were taken care of. The Chicken Fried steak was good with nice breading and gravy. The steak was a tad tough in some spots but otherwise good. I really loved the mashed potato's with the skin on still. Very flavorful! The Mac n cheese was good too. They also have a nice salad bar for an additional option. This is a good spot to pop in and give a try. read more

The enormous and devastating 4th of July flood in the hill country changed a lot of how people went to restaurants as part of their schedule. Immediately after the flood, lots of people came to the hill country to help the recovery. By early August, the restaurant business in the Comfort area crashed. Most of them didn't have any customers which led to shortened hours and temporary layoffs. Brene's Kitchen stayed open through the rough period. They are still trying to get people to eat at their restaurant. My own family goes there to help support this hardworking bunch of people. It is a family owned business and they are the nicest group of people. Their daughters work as servers and both parents work wherever they're needed. As for the food, yes, it's delicious. We went there on a rainy Sunday for brunch and they had almost everything you wanted for breakfast. They had scrambled and fried eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, hot oatmeal. They also have cold cereal with milk the topper for me was their fresh fruit. It was fresh! If that doesn't get you, you can order from their menu! Overall, their food is not Houston or San Antonio brunch quality. For Comfort, TX, it's excellent. We go there because we want to support local businesses and also because they serve good food with a smile. If you are thinking about visiting the hill country, visit the Comfort area and eat at Brene's! Their family will be happy to see you! Enjoy! read more

The best thing we had was the BANANA SPLIT . The owners were so nice and seem like great transplants to this community. We felt the support for first responders there for sure. It was a nice mom and pop place to support on the way back from The Coming King prayer gardens. It fairly new but I can't wait to see how they grow and flourish. read more

Brene’s Kitchen - Wife Betty just ordered from here , a review is coming - Pizza Near Me - Comfort, Texas

I had the burger, it was great. The gravy that came with my daughter's chicken fingers could use some help, it was very watery. We will come back to try some more things and we are thankful for a new place to eat close to home. Our waitress was very sweet but you can tell she was new. She did a great job though! I would have given 5 stars because as a business owner, I love supporting other small business owners. However I have one complaint. Please don't scold your staff in front of customers. It's very unprofessional and makes for an uncomfortable experience for your guests. Clearly you have hired a slew of young people, which is amazing but with that you should assume extra training is going to come into play. You spoke to them like they were idiots. And while your points about how to dry plates more efficiently wasn't wrong, the approach and timing very much was. Maybe more training before opening? Do it in the back of house? Again I applaud you for giving these kids what is likely their first jobs but if you speak to them like that continuously, you won't have any staff and you'll be lucky to have customers. Teach them, don't demean them. read more

The food is amazing, the atmosphere is very comfortable and the desserts are a MUST!! This was my first visit but won't be my last. My husband ordered the Rhett's Smash Burger and he said it was the best burger he has eaten in a long time. I ordered my normal, chicken fingers, and they were tender, juicy and delicious!! We started with an order of cheese sticks....highly recommend!! We also ate the Banana Split for dessert and OMG I'm so happy. So big we couldn't finish it!! Definitely recommend you eat here!! And the service was top notch!! An overall excellent experience!! We'll be back!! read more

Love this clean, local cafe! We went for breakfast and it was simple and good so we went back for their chicken fried steak special--it was delicious! Very fresh and ample selections at the salad bar, tender steak 'the size of its crispy crust', just like homemade white cream gravy, and fries out of this world! The best ever--I'm picky about my fries! Hubby liked the mashed potatoes with the skins! We sure hope this cute little gem succeeds! Owner and staff are super friendly and try extra hard! read more

The service and food was 10/10!! They were so friendly and accommodated us even though we came in a little past hours. We brought our small children in and they were so sweet with them. The soup, pizza, chicken sandwich and mozzarella sticks were so fresh and all homemade. Also loved how at home the atmosphere felt! We will be back for the chicken fried steak! read more

Very nice service, my sandwich was good, I just wish the French fries were not from a bag.

What a wonderful family and the huge generosity they gave to us on INTF1. They are now our family and we will ever be so grateful for the Texas Hospitality in a time of need! Great food and amazing staff!! read more

To the owners and staff of Brene's Kitchen, I wanted to write to let you know that I, and my team, really enjoyed our dining experiences there. We travel a bit and get to taste "the local flair" wherever we go, and your eatery was good enough that we returned repeatedly. That is unusual, as we typically only visit a location once, even if the food is good. The combination of good food, friendly service and warm atmosphere made it the "go to" eatery for us. I wanted to thank you for hosting us in a way that made us feel welcomed like a family member. It was an appreciated touch in a time when the flooding response was very stressful, hectic, and honestly somewhat depressing. Keep up the good work. Since we travel for disaster work, I hope that our paths never cross again, at least not while we're working in the vicinity. Stay safe and thanks again for the hospitality. read more

Service and the food couldn't have been better. Very friendly and attentive. I had the delicious chicken salad sandwich on a delicious crescent roll and the salad bar. Which had a lot to choose from. Delicious, definitely homemade blue cheese dressing. My husband had the Smash Burger and said the meat had really great flavor. The bun was nice and soft, butter toasted which made the burger even more delicious. The two gentlemen sitting next to us, said that their Patty Melts were excellent. We will try those next time. Will definitely go back as there are just way too many very mediocre restaurants along the I10 west corridor from 1604 to Kerrville. Brene's Kitchen was just such a wonderful surprise to actually have truly delicious food, exceptional and friendly service in a sea of mediocre chain restaurants. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Brene's, capping off a long weekend of motorcycling. Lynne provided excellent service and the "Brene's Plate" was delicious. Thanks to Renee and Brian for the great hospitality. read more

I wish I could give this place NEGATIVE or ZERO STARS! The first two times we went to this location, the food was good. The last time we went, the owner was up near the front cash register/entrance visibly stressed and was yelling and cussing out and insulting her younger employees very loudly in front of the whole restaurant. This went on for about 30 minutes. She was also yelling insults to those cooking in the kitchen. We almost got up and left it was so bad. When I paid my check, I asked the waitress (one of the ones she was cussing out) if her boss always treated them this way, and she gave me a nervous laugh. I felt so bad for her, and apologized to her telling her that she didn't deserve to be treated this way in this toxic environment, working for someone who behaves in that manner treating employees like dirt. We will never come back to an establishment that treats their employees in this matter. I hope that the owner goes to some stress or anger management classes and gets the help she needs! read more

Had the chicken sandwich and fries. Pretty good. Fresh and for me, hit the spot. Service great.

Friendly service and good food. The fried catfish is our favorite. Comfort, Tx. needed another restaurant!

Thank you very much for taking care of us while we were in Texas. The INTf-1 team could not have been more grateful to Brene's. The food was great and the hospitality even better. Thank you so much for everything. We'll be forever thankful. read more

Friendly service and good food! Chicken fried steak was very good, and the grilled shrimp tasted fresh.

Service impeccable, Breakfast wonderful! Meal menu is a good mixture of grilled and fried. 8 oz Ribeye steak reasonably priced. Whole menu reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meal and experience. read more

awful - I would not suggest coming here. salad bar was terrible, hardly any fixins and was not worth the $6.50 that my friend was charged extra for it. I got shrimp with a potato and salad- since the menu states it came with two sides - was charged for both side, grilled shrimp were very overcooked, potato was undercooked and strips of bacon were placed on with a little cheese. overall def not worth the combined total of close to $75 for three people. read more

This place looks scary, but it is such amazing food and service. We went here when there was only one server named Ethan and the owner Brian. We were treated amazingly, I would recommend the pizza, it came out looking amazing. Overall our experience was very nice for just driving through! Please try them! read more
