Herman and Lorene Brenner opened the original Brenner's in 1936. The steakhouse was called Brenner's Café. At that time, Houston was expanding west, and the original building had to be sold to make way for the construction of Katy Road. The rustic, yet elegant Brenner’s on the Bayou opened in 2007 in the same location which formerly housed the Rainbow Lodge. In order to maintain its delectable menu selections, available at both locations, Landry’s Executive Chef Kathy Ruiz worked alongside Mrs. Brenner to re-create some of Brenner’s favorite dishes. Some of the favorites include Crunchy German Potatoes, Homemade Roquefort Salad Dressing, and the incomparable Apple Strudel.
