If you're from Dallas, you know that brunch is not something to be taken lightly. I used to make fun of people who said things like, "Let's do brunch," or used the word "brunch" as a verb. However, ever since moving to Dallas, I have become one of them. If you like day-drinking, food, and waiting a really long time for a table, then brunch is definitely for you. So, put on your oversized sunglasses and call an Uber because we are about to brunch so hard.
1. Henry's Majestic
As far as Dallas brunch goes, Henry's Majestic comes to mind faster than you can say "avocado toast." With a motto of "Good food, strong drink," even your wouldn't-touch-brunch-with-a-10-foot-pole boyfriend won't be able to resist. Shareable plates are perfect for big groups and drinks like "The Cure" and "The 8 AM" make this spot a weekend morning no-brainer.
Dishes to Try: Henry's Shrimp and Grits and Chicken and Waffles
2. Cafe Brazil
If you can't quite seem to shake last night's hangover enough to look "snappy casual" for a fancy brunch spot, but are still in need of a solid food coma, Cafe Brazil is the place for you. Its casual atmosphere and coffee bar with flavors like salted caramel will make you forget all about the questionable number of margaritas that you consumed last night at Mi Cocina.
Dish to Try: Migas
3. The Porch
If you want a good Bloody Mary, look no further than The Porch. Plus, all of that tomato juice will make you feel totally healthy enough to justify the delicious spinach and parmesan dip. Also, be sure to save room for the gooey butter cake. In other words, don't come here if you're on a diet.
Dish to try: Smoked Ham Mac and Cheese Casserole
4. Saint Ann
This upscale eatery does not disappoint in terms of ambiance or food and it is the perfect spot for brunch with the girls. The wait can be a little long, but it will fly by with a pitcher (or three) mimosas and give you enough time to up your Instagram game by taking fake candid laughing pictures by the grass wall.
Dish to Try: "Strawberry Shortcake" French Toast
5. Remedy
This vintage style spot on Lowest Greenville comes from the same owner as the Dallas favorite HG Sply Co., making it an easy pick for brunch. Food snobs and kids alike will love items like their chicken and waffles or biscuits and gravy. Remedy even features a "Top Chef" alum as executive chef, making this the perfect place to bring even your most pretentious friends.
Dish to Try: Butter Pecan Waffles
6. The Rustic
The Rustic certainly takes the cake when it comes to brunch. Its backyard seating with rows of picnic tables and live music make it the perfect place to go if you're with a big group. The delicious homestyle food is made with local ingredients and the beers are bigger than your face. What more could you ask for in a restaurant?
