Our server was Sami. Excellent so please ask for her when you arrive. Do not take no if she is working the bar. She is a dynamite person The atmosphere was very nice as they assumed the old "Houston's location. Done very high end wood and wall treatments We arrived a little before 5 pm and assumed we would be able to get happy hour pricing, since we ordered off of the happy hour menu. But no, that did not happen. I ordered the Ahi seared tuna. It was excellent (but I think a piece fell off the plate enroute from the kitchen to the table. I ordered a double side of sliced tomatoes---excellent. The others all ordered their hamburger each ordering it cooked differently from each other AND with different sides. All came out and was placed as ordered read more

slowly spiraling down, the food quality, quantity, and experience are clearly suffering. maybe its competition, maybe its the economy...hard to say. The pacific salad was my number one order here, to the point I've tried to replicate it at home. When the salad was dropped off today, my wife and I both looked at each other thinking, is this a joke? Maybe a 1/3 portion, minimal accouterments, to the point we assumed it was side salad portion. I showed them a picture of the salad they presented in January (yes, I take pictures of food), comparing it to the meager offering tonight. Stunning difference. I can only assume times are lean. read more

The ambiance at Brentwood is always charming, and I hate using this word, but it fits for this review - cozy. The booths are set up so you feel like you're in your own little space. You hardly see or hear the people around you - and that is when I would use the word cozy. Beautiful dark wood fills the restaurant and it gives a wonderful elegance to the ambiance. The wait staff here have always been kind and knowledgeable. I can honestly say, I have never had a bad experience at Brentwood. The food is really good. I have had their Salmon and the Royal French Dip. I enjoy both so much I rarely order anything else. read more

Restaurant-quality takeout that held up all weekend. Ordered through UberEats on a Friday night and everything arrived packaged perfectly, temperature-controlled, and just as good the next day. Spinach & Artichoke Dip - a little salty, but balanced with salsa & sour cream Hawaiian Ribeye + loaded baked potato - flavorful and satisfying Creamed Corn - rich and delicious Bold flavors, generous portions, and great quality for takeout. Looking forward to trying the "Healthy Caesar" next time! read more

Still maintains old tradition of style, taste, service and price ! Great place to visit, Happy hour is awesome Food is high quality specially the crab cake ! read more

We wanted to love Brentwoods. My pros are that the mashed potatoes were great and so was my old fashioned. My husband was looking for a great steak and a friend sent us here. The steak was objectively bland and cheap and dry. I think this is a recent thing because so many people are nostalgic and love this place. As someone coming recent with none of that bias this place is not worth the money compared to similar spots in Dallas. read more

Oh my gosh I love this place. We were huge Houston's people, so when it left we were devastated. Brentwood has an almost identical menu and everything hits. The Hawaiian ribeye was on my mind for weeks after going. My husband got some special that was fish with rock shrimp on top- it's amazing. It's a special often I feel like? He always gets that. You MUST start with the cheese bread. The sauce that comes with it is AMAZING. Seriously, I love this place. Great date night. read more

Brentwood is located in the old Houston's location, and their food is an homage to that menu. Everything we tried was very similar to what we remembered. The spinach artichoke dip was exceptional and possibly better. The ribs were excellent and very tender. The prime rib was a little overcooked and a little chewier than I had hoped. They have a full bar and a good wine list. read more

Please never leave! Our favorite spot that is family friendly but still elevated. The best dishes and staff!

Brentwood was spectacular. The service was impeccable, following the tradition of Houston's, which used to be in the same location. I loved the pork chop; it was beautifully plated, and being a huge portion also helped! The ambiance is classic and semiformal but friendly and welcoming. Brentwood is a great place to have a birthday celebration! read more

Service could have been much better- our waiter disappeared quite a bit leaving us with empty glasses for much of the night. The artichoke dip and cheesy toastie bread were melty, cheesy, savory and satisfying. After indulging in those appy's I thought I would try something a little lighter by ordering something from their sushi selection- meh, not a good choice- my crispy rice was so crispy it was hard to enjoy and the other roll I ordered was close to $22 or more- I believe the rice was $14 for three tiny pieces- both were too expensive for the lack of flavor and quantity- Unreasonably expensive so for the portions. A friend ordered the shrimp Louie and that looked beautiful- but a lot of lettuce underneath the beauty. Probably won't be back, but glad we tried- had an old fashioned restaurant vibe. read more

Brentwood is reminiscent of the former Houston's restaurant, featuring dishes like crispy chicken tenders, grilled salmon, and baby-back ribs. While we appreciated the prompt and courteous service, the food quality and presentation leaves much to be desired. The ambience is low lit with art thoughtfully displayed. Their menu is priced like a high end steakhouse but the dishes don't deliver. The seating arrangement was terrible. Despite having a reservation, they sat six of us in a booth where their legs were cramped together. read more

We both normally get the Hawaiian rib-eye that used to be amazing. It's been changed to a way smaller non-bone in version that sucks and is not worth the price. The taste isnt anywhere near as good as it was. Our waitress said the manager did a ton of cost cutting and changed things to cheaper products. Fire your manager for ruining the best dish on your menu. read more

We stopped by to enjoy a nice Sunday meal. The menu was very similar to Houston's, although it's not part of the Hillstone management company. The server was nice and explained the menu was similar due to people loving Houston's so they wanted to give customers what they desired. This restaurant is in the old Houston's building. I ordered the double pork chop entree. It was good but I felt the pork chop was a little salty. You never know how much salt you can put on pork sometimes. I'd go back to try something different. read more

Service was top notch. You could see everyone was in there A game. Great ambiance for groups and couples alike. Was craving French dip so searched Yelp and found this. It's pricy at 29 bucks but it was good. Didn't like the artichokes in the spinach stuffing for the Rockefeller. Just personally like fresh artichokes not canned or oil cured. That's what I took off the 1 star for. Would go again if I was craving a French dip again. read more

The food here was absolutely delicious. The red fish was blackened and topped with fried rock shrimp. Side veggies were great. The broccoli had a lemony taste which was a pleasant surprise. The pork chop was very juicy despite its thickness. Then the waitress gifted us the dessert. The picture truly does say a thousand words. Trust me when I say it's a must order if you like a warm brownie and ice cream. Very rich in taste. Oh by the way, order a side of toast, you won't be disappointed. The waitress very professional and at the same time conversational and personable. The atmosphere was slightly lit with just enough light to enjoy your company and enjoy your food. I recommend this place for sure. read more

Nice clean ambiance with comfortable booths. Very good food. The two of went for lunch. The French Dip is exceptional and I highly recommend it. The lunch special crab cakes were delicious. Love their slaw as well. Now the bad...service at lunch, again friendly but not good and not crowded. Long waits for a host to show, drinks, refills, and to run credit card. All fixable, but will they?? Maybe take out is the best option. read more

We order togo for our office often. The food is always amazing. Packaged perfectly and have never left anything out. They have a limited menu for togo and not sure if they have togo utensils as they never include them. Love the crispy chicken cob salad and smoked salmon. read more

As for the food: The chicken peanut salad. The french fries. The cheese bread appetizer! The steak noodle salad! The chicken sandwich. The smoked salmon app! The spinach dip. Order these things and experience a perfect food coma! The thing I love about this restaurant is the consistently amazing flavors! Never had a bad taste, except once, perhaps my experience had too much salt. As for the ambiance: The ambiance is so vibey - jazzy, if you will, eclectic but not eccentric, comfortable but not casual, elevated but not stuffy. I have been a lifelong goer of the Hillstone & Houston's family restaurants. Brentwood has all the special touch of the same fine dining, American experience. The service: Typically is very clean, tailored, and professional. Very sharp edged and classy team. read more

I don't throw stars out loosely, but this spot gets all 5 today. When I saw the menu on line, I knew I had to get there. It was like Houston's is back! Same ambience. Same seating. Same statue. The service was what you'd expect at these prices. The server was personable, not overly attentive. I alone spent $60 on lunch that included an iced tea, spinach artichoke dip, cheese burger, and berry cobbler. My burger was cooked as I requested-a perfect medium; the green & white cole slaw was the absolute best I have EVER had (better than Houston's). Long slices of white cabbage with parsley, green onion and herbs in a savory mayo mixture that it is made to order. The creamy romano spinach dip was good enough to slide the chips to the side and eat it with a spoon instead. The berry cobbler was weird. It had strawberries, walnut halves, and a buttery thick crust, topped with cinnamon sprinkled vanilla ice cream. The combination of mushy strawberries, cinnamon, and walnut halves, just didn't do it for me. This recipe needs to be revamped. Houston's used to make an apple walnut cobbler and I'm guessing this was a lazy attempt to make something close to it. Nice try but "no"! With this upset, no stars lost. Overall I enjoyed my meal and will definitely return. read more

We had a great experience here for Valentines day. Our waiter was wonderful and checked up on us multiple times. Everything we ordered was very good. Our favorite was the oysters! The artichoke spinach accommodated the fried oysters so well. The rib eye's seasoning was on point and cooked to perfection. The loaded potato and Brentwood salad sides are a must! The drinks we ordered were all fab. The gold rush and basil gimlet were really good. Wish they gave us more of it though. It was a great dining experience and would highly recommend! read more

WOW! Were we surprised. Brentwood is on the same facility as the old Houston's Restaurant which had be a favorite of our for 30+ years. Sadly, Houston's had gone down hill over the years with quality of food, menu items getting smaller (Shrinkflation)service and, what I thought was the most damming, a arrogant attitude from the staff. From my understanding, the former head chef of that Houston's location opened Brentwood. The menu is about an 80% overlap of the Houston's menu, which is great as it entails all the old favorites. They take reservations! The portions are more generous! The dining room has been tastefully updated. Go check it out! read more

Brentwood: Luv the food, Luv the atmosphere, Luv the staff. Would HIGHLY recommend!! - I've lived in Dallas for a LONG time, and if you remember the old Houston's on Beltline well, this restaurant is Houston's all over again, without the same name. Last month, I heard rumors that there was a restaurant that opened up where the old Houston's on Beltline used to be, that was similar to Houston's, so I told my husband about it, and, well, we gave the restaurant a shot. We went there to eat for the first time two weeks ago, and since then, we've been back two more times. Our first visit: We were in shock when we walked in. It was the same Houston's interior that I remembered. They've updated, and made a few modifications to the pictures and the flooring, but other than that, I saw no change. I felt like I was in a time machine! It was also a bit strange because my husband and I used to eat at this location, like two to three times a week, and so there were a lot of memories that popped in my head, good ones. I remember going to eat there during the manufactured Covid era and they were closed down, this was almost four years ago. I mean, one minute they were there & the next minute they were gone! with NO notice! I remember asking the staff at HillStone why they closed & they said it was because of the rent had increased, but that wasn't the REAL reason (that's another story). The Food: As for the food, I looked on the menu and, it was the old Houston's menu, with the crispy chicken tenders, salmon, salads, spinach and artichoke dip & smoked Salmon appetizers, coleslaw, creamy mashed potatoes, Baby-back Ribs; you name it. I mean, I was driving down to Uptown to eat at Doc B's, for this same menu selection of food, because Doc B's has the same menu as the old Houston's. I remember seeing the menu & thinking if this food is good, I can now stay closer to where I live now, and get the same high quality food! So, I gave items on the menu a try, and, there was NO disappointment. The food was EXCELLENT, Delicious and quality of the food, was high. They have specials too! The first night we went to Bentwood's I had the grilled Salmon with their creamed corn & jalapeños, and the mashed potatoes. My food was hot and amazing! My husband got a Classic Fillet and it was cooked properly (sorry I forgot to take pictures. I was hungry & forgot ). I did ask the waiter if they had any Chefs dressing for the Salmon, and, they did not, but they do have a tartar sauce type dressing, that comes with their smoked salmon appetizer, so ask them for a side of that dressing, if you are like me and like a little tang. DRINKS: I ordered a Tanqueray dirty Martini with BC olives, and it was cold, properly made, topped off, very good and strong. My husband ordered a beer in a cold glass, and the only complaint from him was that they need beers on draft. A couple of nights later, we went back. This time I ordered the Ribs, coleslaw and a baked potato, which were all awesome! My husband ordered the crispy chicken tender dinner with the french fries and a house salad and his food was also VERY good EXCEPT, he said he didn't have enough chicken tenders, so he asked the waiter if he could order more tenders the next time, and they said yes, it's only $3 more (sorry again no pictures it was a late night & I was tired). Then, a couple of nights ago, we went back again, and, I ordered the French dip sandwich with coleslaw and french fries, and it was Great! (this time I took pictures, YAY!). My husband ordered the Crispy Chicken Tenders dinner, again, but this time he ordered extra chicken tenders, and, he had no complaints. ALL IN ALL: In summary, the grilled Salmon is probably my favorite, the coleslaw is very good and has the thin slices of cabbage, not the chunky pieces, the mashed potatoes are smooth snd creamy, the corn and jalapeño side dish is amazing, the Crispy Chicken Tenders and the BB Ribs, are as good as the original Houston's and the rest of the menu is definitely worth trying. The wait staff here is wonderful, the bar staff is very friendly. I mean there's nothing bad that I can say about the place. NOTE: I found out that Brentwood is owned by Hudson House, another restaurant in Dallas, that I really like to go to. Also, we went to this restaurant, late one night, just before they closed, like a half hour before, and the staff was friendly. They didn't give us an attitude about walking in late and the food was just hot, fresh and good, - so going enjoy the place !! I'm kind of thinking maybe I shouldn't have left them such a nice review, because their business may increase, but it's worth it. They deserve it. I'll just have to make a reservation. read more

I looked forward to dining at Brentwood as I had heard such great things about the ruby red trout. We were there Thursday 7 o'clock with only three other tables filled. three people in our group ordered the ruby red trout and we were told they were out. Since this is one of the most popular Dishes I was not only surprised, but very disappointed. If it had been a crowded restaurant, I could understand but on a Thursday night I find it Unacceptable. You only get one chance to make a first impression. read more

We arrived at the restaurant the night of February 13 and had a very nice time. The dinner was delicious, the ambiance great, and the service wonderful. The only criticism was the wine list and price of the wine. I am a casual wine drinker but did not recognize any of the offerings on the list.That was OK because we chose a nice chardonnay and enjoyed it. The issue I have is that for the cost of $22 per glass what we received was about 1 inch of wine in a pretty good sized glass. For $44.00 I could buy 3 bottles of Kendall Jackson or Windham Hill and be just as happy. Suggest the restaurantwith change up the list a bit and get pricing more in line. read more
