Food here is always amazing for brunch. Hard to choose what to get but I tend to almost always go with the Spiced Honey Glazed Pork Belly. With the cheddar grits it is melt in your mouth delicious. Besides the food, the cocktails are also good or mimosas. Cute little place so would recommend a reservation to make sure you can get a seat.

The food was so good omg! I was afraid to get the blue corn pancakes because why corn in pancakes? I'm so happy that are bartender Valerie told me to get them. My friend ordered the pork belly & grits. Normally the trend is shrimp & grits, which seems like an appetizer at most places. But here no, the pork belly & grits was delicious cooked to perfection. The grits were so good I had to order a side of it. If you're coming for brunch be sure to get there before 1pm to ensure that the entire menu is available because they will run out of food by the time they close at 2pm. The restaurant is a nice size and you're able to see the chefs cook your food to order. We sat at the bar so we could catch some of the NFL games on tv.

Small tucked away goodness. Parking is a little tricky. Very small parking lot but there's street parking and gas station near by you can park at. Very chill vibes. Service was very quick and great. Food did not disappoint! You've got to get the pancakes!!! And the glazed pork belly!!! Yes both! Do it! It's totally worth it. The pork belly is the perfect amount of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The pancakes aren't like a fluffy texture. It's like a corn gritty texture but it's different to me and I really enjoyed it.

Where do I begin? I have reviewed this place before, and just like always, it's one of my favorite brunch spots. I had the biscuits and gravy, which are absolutely amazing--you can't go wrong with them! The flavor is spot on. The other person in my party had the French toast, which looked incredible. The grits were also delicious; you really can't go wrong with them. This place is a must-visit for brunch. And of course, the staff is fantastic and very welcoming.

Blue corn butter scotch pancakes! Simply delicious. Pancakes so good you don't even need the syrup. The drinks were subpar though. We ordered a couple of the non alcoholic drinks and had high hopes since they used ritual. However, the ritual was definitely overdone. Which was a stark contrast to other restaurants where the NA drinks are more juice than anything else.

First time here, did not disappoint after having their most popular dishes - blueberry pancakes and honey glazed pork belly. Both dishes were sooo good. I recommend getting them both so you get the best of sweet and savory. Food is pricey but these two dishes are worth it. Service was great and vibes were chill there despite it being crowded!

BEST BRUNCH IN DALLASThe croissants are freshly made and perfectly buttery and flaky and layered! The pancakes are delicious, and the pork belly is spicy and savory. Service is great and ambiance is very industrial but very chic and modern at the same time.Make resys ahead of time because it gets packed.

LocationSouthwest Dallas, Oak Cliff, Winneka Heights just off Davis StreetParkingGo around to front and then parking is better. Front doorGo around from Davis and there it is. Don't bother with the other doors.AtmosphereHipster barSeatingTables, bar, good for groupsServiceFair. Me-I'd like to close out." Response-" you can go around to the front if the bar and get in line"MenuHappy hour-half price wine bottles and flat breads, $5 wine, menu on WR but wifi password not visible. We had the house red and the happy hour flat bread-arugula, goat cheese, thin crust-really yum. SummaryFun, hipster open, great location, healthy menu. Will have to go back soon.

Came here for brunch. It's a cute place and was pretty full. I really like the turkey sandwich. My wife gave mixed reviews on the migas and overall thought things were overpriced. There is easy parking around back, which is a plus in Oak Cliff.

Service was good. LOVED the chocolate croissant. Disappointed in their lack of non alcoholic coffee selection. Ordered the migas with chorizo and agree with other reviews that it was bland. My plate was also soggy, had a lot of oil at the bottom.
