Creole, Vegan Tofu Sandwich

$$

Top tips

Ask about: uncertain ingredients

  • Ask which sides are vegan; reviewers praised the corn succotash and garlic spinach, and reported that vegan items were clearly marked.
  • Good to know: Confirm ingredients with staff, especially for bread and biscuits, since a reviewer was incorrectly directed to a biscuit containing butter.
All 4 tipsShow fewer
  • Ask about the Vegan ‘Que or Vegan Josephine, both tofu-based sandwich options mentioned by reviewers.
  • Make a reservation for groups larger than two; a recent brunch reviewer reported delays seating a group of five.

About

Brenda's serves New Orleans-style Creole and Southern dishes, with brunch a recurring favorite and beignets drawing particular praise. Vegans can look for the tofu-based Vegan ‘Que or Vegan Josephine and ask about the clearly marked sides; staff knowledge has been uneven, so confirm ingredients when ordering.
