It wasn't that busy,,…read moreyet there were no waiters around for long stretches, and the lady working the checkout/ drink fountain was surprisingly rude and an awful attitude Also, tipping in advance through the app doesn't help, good service can be easily forgotten when the staff knows the tip is already locked in. Overall, still a good spot, but the service needs attention.

Best BBQ by far in the Bay!…read more Ribs.. on point Collard Greens.. on point Corn bread.. yumm (but they can be a little bigger) Mac n cheese.. great portion (could be a little more creamier) we also ordered the banana pudding, which is super yummy. We had the seafood gumbo, not too spicy, but spicy enough and it was good with big portions of seafood and sausage with a scoop of rice over it. Ordering was easy we scanned a barcode put in our order and got our food within 10 minutes. Great customer service very clean and while we were eating, we could see that the employees put a lot of care into cleaning the tables and seats. Plenty of parking in back very spacious. They have overhead fans, but no need to turn them on because the restaurant was cool and airy not stuffy or hot. The waiters or servers always checked up on us to make sure that we were OK and if we needed anything else. This restaurant knows what they're doing! Added to one of my fav spots!

Had a solid meal at this place on a Saturday afternoon…read more First off service was amazing, met 2 lovely ladies that took our order at the front and gave their recs on what to get. Very friendly and inviting staff. (4/5 for service). Atmosphere was also nice when we came in since there wasn't a lot of people there yet, but when more people came it did get busy and packed, so keep in mind if you come around 1-2pm. Now the food: - The gumbo was tasty and packed with flavor but the cornbread could've been a bit moister. - friend had the shrimp creole and liked it as well, could have more sauce though. - The mac and cheese was pretty decent, good flavor and the yams were good as well. - The collard greens were flavorful too, just a bit salty for my liking. But the catfish? That was the star of the show--perfectly seasoned and fried. Overall, good vibes and tasty food! I'd give it 3.5 stars.

We got the Shrimp Creola, OH MY GAWH! so addicting, it was like sex on a plate. The hushpuppies with an aioli sauce was to die for as well. We ended with the Pecan pie - so good!

We were only customers for well over an hour. Seemed there was no waitstaff & the manager eventually took our order. She was pleasant, but not attentive. They were "out of crayfish due to supply issues". I recommend calling first to see what's in stock. I was craving crawfish, but the braised short rib was good, mu friend was pleased with the catfish po boy. I will try again, but call first to see if they have fully stocked menu.

I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.

Leo's Taco Truck caught my attention right away on the corner of 20th and El Camino in San Mateo…read moreacross from Heidi's Pies. I was curious to see how it would live up to the hype, and it absolutely did. When they say "the best taco's al pastor," they mean it. The meat was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor, but honestly, it's all about the sauce. The sauces are really good and take the tacos to another level. Every bite was satisfying, and I'll definitely be back. Tip on the parking situation. There's parking in the lot where the truck is located, but on a busy Saturday night, you'll be better off parking in the lot near Nijiya Market, then walk over to the truck.
