Jimmy’s is an East Dallas institution, a grocery store with a deli counter that pulls double duty cranking out the best sandwiches in the city. The Italian Stallion sandwich is one of the biggest, baddest sandwiches around, loaded with just about every meat this superb shop has in its cases. The other sandwiches are formidable, […]
Basic, classic breakfast dishes aren’t difficult to come by at the relocated Greenville Avenue landmark. In business for more than 33 years, John’s knows how to break an egg or two. Plus, syrup isn’t even required for pancakes or the powdered-sugary, cinnamon-y French toast-yeah, they’re that good. John’s also handles the lunch crowd with standard […]
The space is small and cramped but the tight tables only add to the charm. Jonathon and Christine Erdeljac converted the space from brewhouse to breakfast joint, offering one of Dallas’ finest chicken-and-waffles plates. On weekend mornings there’s usually a wait for a seat for brunch as a predominately neighborhood crowd pulls itself out of […]
Here you’ll find the city’s best chicken and waffles, along with some of its best gravy with plenty of black pepper. Breakfast is served all day, but don’t skip the sandwiches like the super-tall club sandwich or the macaroni and cheese that’s full of love and no fanciness. In 2022, they expanded with a second […]

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 […]
A Midland-Odessa transplant founded by Jorge Veloz Sr., this One Arts Plaza outpost was opened in 2008 by Veloz and family. The overall ambiance is one typical of Tex-Mex eateries the world over. However, its proximity to Dallas performing arts institutions gives it a more sophisticated sheen for the event-night crowd. Suits and evening wear […]
This upscale Mexican restaurant, conveniently located near some of Dallas’ wealthiest neighborhoods, serves two menus. The first, which it debuted in 2017, is a canny setlist of fancied-up Tex-Mex favorites, such as $17 seafood enchiladas. The menu-within-a-menu is the work of a chef hired in late 2018, Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman, who brings her own distinctive and […]
This underserved section of Hall Street desperately needed a strong neighborhood restaurant. How lucky that it got such a delightful one. At 9 p.m. the dining room is packed, with many patrons sitting at the small bar and most snacking on a simple house-baked bread served on a wooden board with compound butter. Churrasco presents […]

Jubilee Café in Carrollton is a dessert-forward Korean-owned spot that originated in Palisades Park, NJ, and got our attention via pictures of its teddy bear latte that is trending all over social media. What started as primarily a chocolatier has become a cute little café that serves brunch, sandwiches, pastas, a full range of coffee […]
Just about every street corner in Dallas harbors a Southern fare kitchen offering deviled eggs, pork belly, burgers and the inevitable shrimp and grits. Many of them are good; some are excellent; most are forgettable. All, even the good ones, sort of run together. Except for the most daring of them all: Junction Craft Kitchen. […]
While the restaurant’s name implies the only eats here are just Mexican, there is more to it than that. This is especially true of breakfast. For the first meal of the day, customers can grub on pancake and egg specials. Skip those. Go for their popular chilaquiles or the weightier two breakfast-burrito platter. The lunch […]
From the minute it opened, Ka-Tip offered probably the best Thai food in Dallas city limits. Nearly everything on Ka-Tip’s tiny menu is sensational, and spicy-sour noodle soups like tom yum are perfect both for takeout and for winter months. Because the kitchen here doesn’t Americanize, sweeten or tone down its flavors and ingredients, each […]

Kalachandji’s, inside a Hare Krishna temple in East Dallas, lets its employees decide the day’s buffet menu.
