Cajun Restaurants in Houston
Houston, Texas is a large city with many golf courses. Houston also has several cajun restaurants--some of which are near golf courses. These conveniently located restaurants are a practical choice for individuals who like cajun food and are traveling to Houston for golf.

Brenner's Steakhouse on the Bayou

Brenner's Steakhouse on the Bayou is a Cajun-themed steakhouse near the center of Houston, Texas. It is in a convenient location for golfers, because it is very close to Memorial Park Golf Course (Part of Memorial Park Conservancy) and River Oaks Country Club. Memorial Park Golf Course is right down the road from Brenner's Steakhouse on the Bayou--a 0.8 mile drive. Some other courses within short driving distances from the restaurant are Houston Oaks Golf and Country Club, Hermann Park Golf Course and Houston Country Club.

The Steakhouse serves brunch and dinner. Many of its items are normal steakhouse staples, like steaks and seafood, but some of them also have a Cajun theme. For example, their online dinner menu lists fried shrimp and snapper from the Gulf of Mexico and shrimp scampi. They offer several appetizers, soups, salads, steaks, entrees, wines and desserts, and they also have a $38 fixed price three-course dinner with several options for each course. Prices of their other dinner items can vary depending on market prices, but entrees and steaks usually cost between $15 and $40. Their brunch menu includes normal brunch items like omelets, waffles, and eggs benedict, but they also serve shrimp scampi, sandwiches and other entrees for brunch. Brunch is only served on Sundays, when they are open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Every other day, the restaurant opens for dinner at 5:30 p.m.
