This diner definitely has character! It's a mom and pop place that may seem a bit dive-ish... but that's what makes it cool! All the staff were friendly, helpful, and cheerful. We had four in our party... we ordered the Abuelas, a mushroom Swiss burger, a smoked turkey sandwich, and a Philly cheese steak sandwich. All were delicious and their homemade buns are great! We don't live in Dallas, but when we come through again we will be back. I would love to try their breakfasts and some of their Mexican food. read more

Great place for Sunday breakfast! I ordered the Abuelas. My companion had the "the big man breakfast." That lives up to its name! Lots and lots of food! Mine were two tostada style shells, fresh with ranchero sauce, scrambled eggs, cheese, and jalapenos. French toast was AMAZING!! Definitely will come back. read more

Love this place for a delicious breakfast. My favorite is the breakfast taco with chorizo, eggs, potato and cheese. Tiki hubby tried the daily special. Philly Cheese Steak Breakfast special. Scrambled eggs with all the Philly ingredients. Great service by a family owned business. read more

I won't be back. GOOD - eggs, sausage, hash browns AVERAGE - service, biscuit BAD - waitress charged me for switching out biscuit to corn tortilla after she said there would not be an additional charge. Was charged an additional 4% fee at checkout since I was using a debit card and not cash read more

We love this place when we're visiting our grandchildren in Dallas. Great food, great servers! Enjoy!

Food was extremely sub par, very bland and eggs were not cooked correctly, gravy was watery, and a lot of lights were out as well as flickering off and on read more

A throwback diner. Not a ton of seating but that adds to the appeal. Bar seating was great. Food was great. Very attentive staff. Most certainly will come back. read more

There's nothing fancy about Dallas Diner. A small place with a few tables on the inside, patio tables outside, and several stools at the counter. The menu is classic diner fare with daily specials. In addition to the extensive regular menu there are menus for kids and seniors. My friend and I ordered off the senior menu. We both had eggs over easy and pancakes. She had bacon, I had the sausage patty. We both had coffee. Everything was prepared as ordered and tasty. And, to my surprise, filling. Service was cheerful, attentive, and helpful. Parking directly in front can be tight but there is adequate parking close by. A great place for breakfast. I'll try lunch another day. read more

A good, basic breakfast diner. Service is friendly, good coffee, even a seniors selection. We had the sausage, but the bacon looked really good, too. Next time will try the breakfast tacos. read more

Once again, a good morning at The Dallas Diner. Really, what made our experience is the wait staff. Everyone is so kind. Bringing my mom in is a bit of a challenge and they were so patient with us. My coffee cup was NEVER empty and our water glasses were kept full. I ordered the migas and it was good! Other orders at our table; tacos, pork chop, pancakes, breakfast burrito... all good! This is just a good, solid place for hospitality, tasty diner food and bottomless coffee. We will be back. read more

Visited this establishment a little over 3 weeks ago and ordered the pork chop breakfast. About 3 hours later came down with a fever and began vomiting violently along with diarrhea. Was deathly sick for over a week with non stop diarrhea and vomiting. Almost 4 weeks later and still have diarrhea and just beginning to heal. Apparently the pork chop was rancid and they tried to conceal this fact with extra seasoning and by offering sausage gravy. Please be aware. I believe they knowingly served rancid pork because of the diabolical smirk on the cooks face as she asked, "did you enjoy?" In extremely broken English as I was leaving to pay. I have to assume that I am not the only person this has happened to. Worst experience ever. Will never be back. read more

Solid breakfast game with all the typical breakfast foods one would expect in Dallas including basics and TexMex options. Today we tried something completely different ...lunch. Enchiladas verdes were perfectly fiery with homemade salsa verde and the beans and rice were "old school" tasty. Chicken finger basket was the other order for our party which came out crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside with a side a hand cut fries. Service was on point today. Sometimes they can get a little "in the weeds" when everyone comes at once like on Sundays, but it's worth the wait and all those people clearly think so too. East Dallas neighborhood staple. This place has been around for over 30 years in some form. A few years ago, new management made lots of improvements in the decor. But some of it needs some refreshing now. Overall, it's a great neighborhood place with lots of regulars including me and my hubby. read more

Great diner with little fanfare but good food. Key is they listen to your order. If you ask for crisp bacon you get crisp bacon. if you ask for onions in your hash brown you get onions in your hash browns. so the attention to detail is what makes the place worth coming back. It's not hard to fry eggs, bacon and hash browns BUT so many places ignore the special requests. Nice to know i'll be getting exactly what i ordered. Oh and the wait staff is friendly and courteous. i think its a family affair. My new go-to place for weekend breakfast. read more

What a nice find. Leaving the Social Security office, my beautiful life companion stated she was hungry and asked if we could stop for a bite. I had no idea where to stop. There are no shortages of places to eat in the MetroMess. I was not familiar with the area, so I headed home. I soon realized the standard route would not take me anywhere near a restaurant. I made a quick right and headed to a different part of town. I was surprised by the turn I would have normally taken and ended up heading in the opposite direction. Within a block, the Dallas Diner appeared out of nowhere--of course, it was somewhere. Let's give these guys a shot; I told Tish. She agreed, and it was a done deal. The place was small. It was not crowded. It was a little late for breakfast and a little early for lunch. Our waitress made us be welcome. I liked the feel of the place. Knowing Spanish would be a good thing but not necessary. I think the menu is diverse. I selected a hash and egg breakfast. Tish ordered the chicken fried steak. The food came promptly. It was good, old fashion diner food. Tish said her CFS was not the best she'd ever eaten, but it was tasty and well worth the price. One way or the other, it was a thumbs up. I enjoyed my hash and eggs very much. Not every dining establishment serves hash for breakfast. I considered Dallas Diner to be a go-to for breakfast. We'll have to come back for a lunch and see how that is. The people next to us had a lunch plate, and it looked delicious. I bet their lunches are equally as good as their breakfast. I say, give them a shot. I think you'll like the place. read more

Was up way to early for work and not being from the DFW area I found this diner on Yelp. The is a small diner with tables inside and some on a covered patio. They also have 10+ stools if you want to sit at the counter. The place has a old school being at home feel. The staff is friendly & attentive and your coffee will be refilled often. The food was fresh and the eggs were cooked just the way they were ordered. The diner is clean and they also have a bakery for pastries. Recommend this diner for sure. read more

Busy place small area food is good service can be kind of slow if crowded. Wait staff very nice. Not as expensive as other restaurants.

All the food is great, with a down home Mexican flare to many favorites dishes for breakfast and lunch. The coffee is always delicious, and in the summer months friends and I will sit outside on wooden benches in the covered patio. read more

Big serving of good breakfast food, with nice crisp-- not floppy, thank god-- bacon strips. Decent coffee's a big deal to me, & theirs satisfied. The lady figured out the best deal for me when my eyes were bigger than my stomach.... I wanted everything-- eggs /cheese, bacon, grits, and biscuits with gravy, haha. She saved me some money & was super kind. A nice little diner that has history. read more

A quaint dinner with a home style feel!! Yelp picked a good one this morning!! It's easy to find, parking in front, huge signage facing the road and a gorgeous patio inviting you in! The wrapped pastry behind the counter welcomes you in. The chalk menu board on the wall is only part of their offering so wait for the menu! On my last visit, I was at the counter and was enjoying the bee hive of activity behind it as food and beverages was carried to customers in the tight aisle. Orchestration at its finest! I had the Wagon Wheel special with eggs over easy, sausage, and pancakes. It was great taste and well made. The price was quite nice. I'll be back. read more

Great breakfast at great prices. Donuts are the ole Dunkin Donuts as they were when that place was actually a Dunkin Donuts shop. Friendly manager. Good service. read more

Maybe it's only a 5 star if you've been going there for 17 years and you've had the same super kind and friendly service from the wait staff who have watched your kids grow through the years and always ask about them. But it's more than that- I've only been going back all this time for straight up, better than the simple ingredients should comprise, delicious breakfasts. And your mug is endlessly refilled with good ole drip coffee. A true treasure. read more

Good diner food. Really sweet staff. It's a diner.. ambiance is diner like. I really love this place.

Really enjoyed my meal. Good diner food with a Latin flair! And, lower prices than most with our Taxana Southern Fare. For a Sunday lunch, I came with family. All 3 thought their meal was good and just the right-sized portions. I had the Chicken Fried Chicken, mom had the Chicken Fried Steak, and auntie had a Homemade Cheeseburger. My 2 fried chicken breasts were small but delish. And together made the perfect amount. The cream gravy covering them and the mashed potatoes was good, and just the right amount of pepper! And the grilled mixed veggies were also fantastic, with a hint of Latin flair. Mom's Chicken Fried Steak was also just right! Auntie's Cheeseburger was as fresh as advertised! The homemade bun was unexpectedly actually "homemade"! Everything was fresh-tasting and simple. The Staff: was extremely friendly and all shared in the experience. The only drawback was their use of English was difficult to understand -- especially thru their Covid masks. And that was the *only* drawback from our July Sunday Brunch. read more

I'm so torn because we live so close and have been coming here so long. I liked it more when donuts were on the menu, but those days are long gone. The food, prices and service are all ok, and that's what you want in a diner. Usually it's quick and reliable, but some days service is so bad. But the people are kind - so don't have high expectations, and you'll like it. read more

Dallas Diner - The menu. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We've been by this place a million times but never thought to try it until today when we were busy with errands and did not have time to drive far. We got there about 9am and tables were still available inside. It's a small place. Prices are very reasonable and the menu is pretty large. I went with the Western omelet ($5.99 I think) and I was not sorry. It's a three egg omelet with onion, green pepper, tomato, and ham. The ingredients tasted very fresh and it comes with a side of homemade salsa which put it over the top. Hash browns and toast come with it. A delicious breakfast and I would get it again for sure. The wife got the Big Man breakfast ($6.99) because she wanted to try a bunch of different things. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Hash browns, good; bacon, good. Biscuit, good. She did not like pancakes at all. Said they were too dense. I think this place is an undiscovered gem in East Dallas. It's not gourmet but the service is good and the food is way above average. We will return. read more

Looks like this was an old Dunkin' Donuts store. Interesting design but it works for this little restaurant. They seem to have a local following- quite a few people enjoying morning breakfast. Staff was efficient and food delicious. Friendly atmosphere. They kept my coffee mug full! First time here and would definitely return. read more

I must have driven past this place a million times on my way to get food.. One day I decided to stop in and try it out.. Boy, was I amazed at how delicious the food was and even more surprised at how friendly the staff was. Everyone was friendly, fast, warm and inviting... the food was delicious, hot, and seasoned just right. I frequent this place now and have fallen in love with the staff and truly, that's the main reason why I go and the food is a boner. Win Win!! ;-) read more
