360 Brunch House

Start your day off with a flight of mimosas at the neon-pink brunch spot. Try the Flaming Apple Whiskey Cakes, which come with an age restriction: so much booze in the things you have to be 21 or older to order. Thick and fluffly Lemon Poppy pancakes with a housemade lemon sauce, which is more […]

Berries and Batter

A good place to start here is the biscuit and gravy omelet made with fluffy eggs stuffed with biscuit pieces and topped with a creamy sausage gravy. It’s like the two popular breakfast foods had a baby. And it’s a tasty one. They also have hearty dishes like steak and eggs with an 8-ounce steak […]

Blue Mesa Grill

The meal to have at this area favorite is the Mexican breakfast buffet. Families in their post-church Sunday best line up for the omelet bar, and Tex-Mex offerings like the chicken and mushroom enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce and waffles. The rest of the menu, with as many ingredients locally sourced as possible, is marked […]

Capitol Pub

With an extensive draft and bottled beer selection, dartboards and dark wood, this watering hole has must-stop written all over it. This is further proven by the barhopping mobs along the stretch of Henderson on which Capitol is located. Lunch is served Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. There is a Sunday brunch […]

Ebb & Flow

The dining room at Ebb and Flow has the right esthetics and playlist for a posh and slightly raucous dinner or brunch. Hip hop hits from the ’90s and early 2000s play a few decibels higher than the normal background-noise setting. Black and white tiled floors are surrounded by forest green wallpaper embellished with baroque […]

Electric Shuffle

Deep Ellum is full of options for a good time, some of which can get wild. But at Electric Shuffle, things get wild around the shuffleboard tables. So, get a headcount of fun people in your life and make reservations. It won’t take any time at all to learn to play shuffleboard, especially after the […]

Haywire

Haywire offers elevated Southern fare in chic, highly-Instagrammable spaces, from a swank interior to a fun rooftop dining area with an Airstream trailer. The menu has classics from steaks, all farm-raised in Texas, to shrimp and grits made with tasso and andouille sausage red eye gravy. The bar program is ambitious and bold. Happy hour […]

Isla & Co. is located in the thriving Bishop Arts District restaurant scene. This Australian-inspired one-stop shop for brunch and dinner dishes, artisan coffee, vino and spiffy signature cocktails.

Jonathon’s Forestwood

In Oak Cliff, Jonathon’s Diner has been a beloved breakfast, brunch and lunch destination since 2011. In fall 2023, this new spot opened at Forest Lane and the North Dallas Tollway. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior is surprisingly spacious, with seating for approximately 150, both inside and outdoors. The dark sage green walls create […]
