The Most Scrumptious Breakfast & Brunch in Dallas

Go Loco

★★★★☆ 3.9 (115) • $

"We came to visit Dallas a few months ago and saw Dos Tacos. My husband kept mentioning we should try it. Let me start by saying don't be fooled or even a little nervous to try it out because it's attached to a car wash/gas station. It is very clean and I love the outside patio if you decide to eat your food there. We both ordered taco platters I did the classic and he got the loaded. My tacos were al pastor and it was okay there was something missing. My husband enjoyed his taco but didn't wow over them lol Here's why I'm giving them a 4 is because we also ordered quesadillas and they were delicious. I got the spicy chicken and my husband ordered the steak. The quesadillas were a good size and had a lot of the chicken & steak throughout every bite. I love quesadillas but sometimes feel like the protein is lacking not the case here. If you're in the area give them a try"

Frankies

★★★★☆ 4.2 (237) • $$

"It's been a long time since I'd been here and I was glad to see the food and service were as good as always. Since I was there last (but probably not recently) they enlarged and enclosed the front patio...very nice space! The inside dining area is a good size and cozy. It's easy to carry on a conversation even when it's busy. I had the brisket enchiladas for lunch. The tortillas are dipped in a guajillo sauce that has a really good kick. Not overwhelming, just really good. Even a wimpy palate like mine can handle (and appreciate!) it. The enchiladas are filled with mashed potatoes and topped with brisket, onions and mushrooms. The brisket is flavorful, tender and juicy and you get a good portion. All of this sits on a nice poblano sauce. This is soooooo good and very filling. Definitely not your traditional Tex Mex!"

Dick's Uptown Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (347) • $$

"Delicious food, quick service. Clean restaurant and relaxed atmosphere. Lots of great options for food as well."

Toasty Breakfast & Lunch

★★★★☆ 4.4 (142) • $$

"Food looks pretty and taste good. The menu is good, very big. My friend got the french toast and it looked PHENOMENAL so I might have to come back to try. I got the american with classic eggs bacon and pancakes. Everything was good and for the price it can't be beat!"

Cartwright's Ranch House

★★★★☆ 4 (357) • $$

"Hands down, best comfort food I've ever had. Everything was so good! I cannot wait to share this place with my family and friends. It's a little out-of-the-way but so worth it. Perfect excuse for a road trip.I had the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. My daughter had the mac & cheese burger with sweet potato waffle fries. Everything was delicious including the ice tea with crushed ice. Perfect."

Tacos Y Mas - Richardson East

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (154) • $

"This was my first time coming here today. Been wanting to check this place out for a while. SO glad I did! First and foremost, the staff were amazing and so very nice! The lengua tacos are the best I have tried in this town so far!! Lots of meat and it's cut in chunks rather than shredded. It does make a difference if you ask me. I love the salsa bar that offers many different types of salsa and garnishes. The elote is really good as well. Lastly, the horchata is delicious! I will be back for sure!"

Knox Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (284) • $$

"We went here on a weekday night for dinner with some friends and the restaurant was pretty busy. Their patio area is enclosed so it was nice to sit out there and it wasn't too cold or noisy. Our food was all very good. My entree of the filet was amazing, my friend got the steak frites and said the chimichuri on it was great! My girlfriend's soufle was also incredible and she wished she could order again! Our service was great as well!I would definitely recommend!"

First Watch

★★★★☆ 3.9 (382) • $$

"Came here for breakfast, I always love this place! I got a waffle and my plus one got lox, eggs & potatoes. I asked for an iced coffee as well and it was delicious!! Can't wait to come back again, this is always my go to place for breakfast!"

Chubby's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (130) • $

"I come here often and the food and service is always great. They have a big menu, I have tried several different dishes and they are all great. It is also super affordable , compared to other breakfast restaurants."

Bachman Tacos & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (45) • $

"Omg! The BEST trompo tacos!! Bachman is a hidden gem located near the Love Field area. The trompo tacos are the only thing I get here because they're so delicious I don't want to try anything else. I just want to load up on all the trompo. It's a little intimidating if you don't speak Spanish but basically you walk into the gas station, tell the cashier (right side) how many tacos you want then you walk all the way over to the left where the tacos actually are and give them your receipt. Upon walking towards the taco side of the gas station, you'll see the huge vertical work of art that is trompo meat. So juicy. So tender. So flavorful. And the salsa is bomb! Bachman is a bit of a trek but worth it every time. Super fresh and delicious (and cheap!) tacos!"

Ascension Coffee - White Rock

★★★★☆ 3.8 (175) • $$

"Food was fabulous and the interior is very hip! We went around 10am on a Sunday and did not have a very long wait. The outside is gorgeous as well. Would definitely recommend if in the area."

Mom's Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (193) • $

"After an early casting of my ballot down the street,I sought out this spot for some heavy fuel to propel me through the day.This cafe has been here forever and about 15 years since I've eaten here . It used to be crowded throughout their breakfast and lunch operating hours. However,8:30 and I'm the only one here? I immediately feel on guard and ready to make a decision to leave before I have an average breakfast experience.The friendly waitress finally appears handing out menus and taking drink orders.I ask her if there's been a change of ownership and she responds "yes a new Partnership". At least she was honest.I've seen it a lot lately. These older traditional family run cafes changing hands due to retirement,death or fatigue. It's predictable as the once well oiled machine begins slipping.I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a chance. I'm glad I did. They serve up a multitude of daily breakfast plates for $12+ dollars. Ours were decent but not memorable.I'm afraid these endangered species cafes are no longer in demand and slowly withering on the vine. However,if your in the area and want to fuel up for the day,I say...Go!"

The Tavern at Lakeside

★★★★☆ 3.6 (263) • $$

"I came here for a work lunch, had no idea the are this place is on existed. It is a really cool area and The Tavern fits right into the area...I will give this place a 5 on atmosphere. They have done a great job bringing in the tavern feel and ambiance. The place has a really nice vibe.The service was really good. Our waiter was was attentive without being obtrusive. He checked in regularly and got us everything we needed. Our food came out in reasonable time and was fresh and hot.I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken. It came with mixed veggies and mashed potatoes. The chicken was good but the lemon was a bit overpowering in some bites. The veggies were seasoned with lemon pepper as well, and that was a little too much. Mashed potatoes rocked.Fun place, I will be back!"

The Bloom Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.5 (221) • $$

"If I could, the score would actually be a 4.5 but, here we are. Bloom is a charming Mediterranean-inspired brunch spot that has something for everyone from young to old with standout items like Shakshuka and Nutella Crepes. The customer service was excellent right from the start, and I was particularly impressed with our server, Kiara. She went above and beyond to tailor our recommendations to my tastes, ensuring I had the perfect seasonal dish.The overall atmosphere was just as inviting as the food, with an interior that felt like a quaint French Bistro, adding to the overall dining experience. But, my imaginary -.5 comes from the reservation/seating process. Despite having a reservation for two, we ended up waiting for over an hour to be seated. The hostess seemed overwhelmed, struggling with both the online booking system and managing the influx of customers. This disorganization was frustrating and put a dent in what could have been a flawless experience. The other ding is the A/C when I visited in July it was out and I lost at least a pound in sweat; there was no warning/heads up but, hoping it's since been fixed."

Salad and Go

★★★★☆ 4.2 (11)

"It serves it's purpose. So I have nothing bad to say. Nice staff friendly, helpful and smiling"

Woodbridge Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (216) • $$

Salad and Go

★★★★☆ 4.1 (19)

"I visited Salad and Go in Dallas, TX on Thursday, 6/27/24, around 4 PM.I decided to order the Cobb Salad. It came with a hard-boiled egg, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, mixed greens, and chicken. I opted for ranch dressing on the side. What I liked about the salad was that the ingredients were super fresh. It was light and refreshing in every single bite. The price point was very affordable as well. The customer service was pleasant and quick. I placed the order in the drive-thru line and received the salad in under 5 minutes. Overall, I truly enjoyed the salad from Salad and Go. I highly recommend coming here."

Midway Donut & Kolache

★★★★☆ 4.3 (35)

"These ladies are beyond amazing! They are so sweet and patient with everyone. They have beautiful, amazing custom donuts out fresh every morning, whether it's for a holiday or just something fun for the kids, like a spider man donut or Cookie Monster. I believe they also do specialty orders if you call ahead of time. My favorite thing to get is the Jalapeño kolache, soooo good, nice and spicy! My newfound favorite though is the cinnamon roll donut holes. I didn't know such a thing existed and it's the perfect pick me up with a cold bottle of chocolate milk. They have tons of drink selections here from hot chocolate, to Red Bull, Gatorade and many other things. They also have breakfast sandwiches and burritos that they will heat up for you to make for a quick on the go breakfast."

Sunview Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (640) • $$

"Customer service is great, food came out fast and was plentiful, I ordered the chicken fried chicken with eggs, grits and pancakes. Pancakes had a good sweetness to them and were fluffy and good, chicken fried chicken was a nice portion and tasty. Grits could've used a lot of salt (but that was an easy fix) after adding salt, pepper, and cholula they were good. Love the ambiance, it's small and quaint but has good music and a good feel.Sorry no pic. Ate it too fast O_o"

Mesero - Preston Hollow Village

★★★★☆ 4 (131) • $$

"I came here last Friday evening for dinner and the place was packed. I managed to get a seat at the counter looking into the kitchen. I was promptly greeted and checked on by several of the staff, even though the kitchen was crazy busy! I was given the complimentary chips and salsa assortment. The salsa and pico were soooooooo good! I couldn't stop eating it! I ordered strawberry frozen margarita and the El Miguelito entree. Everything was delicious, although the presentation of my entree was sloppy and was tipping to one side of the plate. I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the menu, however beware the prices do add up as you order more drinks of course. The food was really good and I left stuffed.The ambiance of the restaurant is really cute and trendy. It makes for a nice date spot or setting for a small gathering of friends and family.This was my first time at any Mesero location and it certainly won't be the last!"

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"The best senior menu arround. I picked the pork chop that are Homemade pan fried . The pork chop was huge . It was big enough for two people. The pinto beans were homemade beans , you can taste the bacon flavor off it. The mashed potatoes were soo tasty more like home made, at least they were not tastless like cardboard . The Good Days resturant are consistent in their menu. And very well priced. Not like over ones head proce. Its like a small town resturant with customers of a small town P. S. Sorry my picture has bite taking off on it. Its bc I couldnt wait to eat it"

Gather Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (27)

"Definitely my hidden gem, located in a building. They mainly serve people in the office, but I love the friendliness, ambiance of this place! My breakfast tacos here.. $2.09 and they're huge! I love it! And they can pretty much custom make any coffee drinks you would like! Mine is the iced white chocolate mocha (skinny), definitely better than the usual Starbucks quality and price!"

Another Broken Egg Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (79) • $$

"I came to Dallas for a weekend trip and stumbled upon this place. Everything was so good. The vanilla cold brew was perfectly made. The shrimp and grits were seasoned very well and filled with shrimp. The bartender was really sweet and efficient. Also the food came out so fast. It was a nice vibe all around in this establishment."

The Nest Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (847) • $$

"I've been back to The Nest a few times since my first review and had to update it after this last visit with all three kiddos.They were not looking forward to trying someplace new, but when they read the menu they got excited and when their food arrived they were thrilled (so was I!)The older kiddos ordered the Kids Pancakes, which usually leaves them starving, but when the two large pancakes were placed in front of them with a side of whipped cream (a special request) they were thrilled. My youngest had the eggs, bacon and min pancakes kids order and was also thrilled. She shared the bacon with her brothers, ate the eggs and took home the pancakes she just couldn't finish. Meanwhile I got to enjoy every bit of my Wrap (still my favorite thing on the menu) with side salad. Everything was fresh, the service was quick and we all left full and happy. My kids all asked "can we come back here again? And let's bring dad next time!" A true sign of a winning meal.We will be back!"

5th Street Patio Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (763) • $$

"Wonderful neighborhood counter order cafe! The restaurant at looks like it was a Victorian home converted to a restaurant. There's plenty of seating, prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious!I ordered the French Toast Platter:it came with 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, breakfast potatoes, and 4 pieces of french toasts with fresh cut fruitParking is right behind the building, and there's plenty of it!"

Cracked & Crepe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (203) • $$

"I found them at first on UberEats and I've been hooked ever since. My kids ask to go here weekly!! The food is always fresh and amazing!! I haven't dined in yet, but I'm sure they're used to seeing my name on the "Togo" tickets every week. I ordered this for my mom while she was visiting from out of town and she fell in love and went back the next day!! We've only tried a few things on the menu, but our favorites are the Chicken Fried Chicken breakfast and the Italian Sausage skillet. Both are very large portions that we end up sharing! The chicken is always so flavorful and moist, fried just right. The skillet is the perfect blend of everything and the ricotta is the added bonus I didn't know I needed. I did try the Savannah skillet, the apple sausage was something I did not enjoy. Immediately it was a turn off with a sort of bitter taste to it. Other than that, it was decent. Kids waffles come with 2 mini waffles and an egg and choice of meat! It's more than enough for my 3 year old. She enjoys it every time. I highly recommend this place!"

John's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (288) • $$

"Old school diner type cafe...no frills, but the counter employee was friendly and I'm excited to see if the food lives up to the reviews. FYI - You order at the counter before finding your seat. Food was very good. Bacon was crispy and the potatoes were well seasoned. No complaints at all and would repeat."
