Eating at Brenda's Place is like eating in a giant, multi-tabled dining room at Brenda Glueck's house. She comes out of the kitchen to talk to folks, and the entire place is engaged in conversation.
Drink:
Delicious sweet tea
Entree:
Brenda doesn't mess with appetizers. She gets right to the point with entrees. However, she couldn't quite make it to a decision, so we substitued two entrees for the missing appetizer. Here, she says, "It's a tie between our Country Fried Chicken and our Breaded Deep Fried Catfish."
Dessert:
Coconut creme pie, made from scratch daily.
