    Came here with my sister, she loves checking out different food places when she comes home. She heard about this place in Instagram. I go a simple breakfast with a few pieces of bacon and a stack of blue berry pancakes. There wasn't anything breathtaking, pretty straightforward breakfast. The location was very busy on a Sunday morning so the people in the surrounding area really like it. If you're nearby and want breakfast, check it out.

    Dry old steak

    We came here after seeing them in instagram the last few months. It was a disappointing experience as most of the food was not good. We ordered two chilaquiles one with chicken and one with steak. The steak was gross. Felt days old and the chicken was really dry. Everything else just tasted bland or subpar. The churro pancakes itself were really good, but the churro pieces they put on top were also very old and inedible. Overall would not recommend will never return. Gave an extra star because our server was really kind.

    Mexican Scramble
    Marianne C.

    Went here for brunch with some friends. We all lived nowhere near this spot but somehow ended here. They have regular American and Mexican breakfast/lunch option. I opted for their Mexican scramble which came a choice of tortillas or toast then topped with slices of avocado. It was flavorful and very well could make two decent dice breakfast burrito. Service was efficient, and fast. Our food came out pipping hot and fresh looking. The space shared a room from a banquet hall which I think they rent for bigger events. The two rooms can be combined or split with a barn like sliding door in the middle of a big space. This place is an option for brunch if you are in the area.

    This place is an excellent breakfast spot, especially coming from Maryland. I love the food we had and the quality of service. Parking was easy, and the restaurant was spacious and clean. The bathroom was also clean. The service was fast, and all the servers were attentive. All the food we ordered tasted really good! Overall, this place is a must-visit.

    Went for pancakes, left beyond satisfied. JJ's is very spacious and has some very delicious food. No wait time, menu very straightforward I can see myself going here a lot for a quick breakfast.

    Not good for large parties 10+ We had a reservation for 13 ppl at 11 am. Reservation means To secure a guaranteed table in advance, typically to avoid long wait times and manage busy hours. Ambiance was loud and busy since it was a Sunday morning Our whole party was on time and they won't seat incomplete parties. We waited additional 45 min to get seated. The server seem flustered and annoyed with large parties, he took our drink order , left and upon arrival we gave him our order as we were ready to order and eat. I understand large parties take long but food came out decent time in parts of course but the expo , lady refilling coffee were super nice to us. We brought our own cake to cut but we didn't feel welcomed so we decided to hurry eat and go home. Food was okay I enjoyed my pancakes over my entree but definitely not a place for large parties. Anything under 5-6 people will get sat faster and better service.

    My search for the best chilaquiles in Dallas is now complete! JJ's delivers with excellent flavor, perfectly cooked food and exceptional service. I will go back soon!

    Staff were helpful Food was okay the chicken tasted like can chicken Inside of the place was okay maybe a little older.

    Caramel macchiato
    Ailynn A.

    The wait time for two people on a Sunday was ~20min. We were sat at 12:55 and left the restaurant at 2:11. We felt the food took a while to come out, and so did the check once we asked to pay. I ordered the caramel macchiato which was basically diabetes in a cup. I couldn't drink even half of it. My boyfriend had asked for water as a refill and was brought back another horchata which was not free and not communicated. The food was ok. I ordered the red chilaquiles with birria. The meat portion wasn't enough, and the sauce was not a level 3 spice. Seemed more like a level 1 to me. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, which were not flavordu We shared a plate of the tres leches pancakes, but they were a bit dry. No syrup was provided and frankly, we didn't want to wait another 5min for them to bring that by. I wouldn't come back in all honesty. I was extremely disappointed to have paid $61 for an experience that felt inconvenient.

    Tres Leches Pancakes
    Sara N.

    Came here on Mother's Day so they were busy but we made reservations and waited maybe 20 minutes to be seated. The staff were nice and checked up on us. Our food came out warm/cooled down but the waffle n chicken was good still. The tres leches pancake was the highlight!!

    Chicken and Waffles
    Raquel M.

    This place was busy early! We got there around 8:30am on Sunday. It was very roomy. I enjoyed the attentive service. I would not get the chorizo and egg again, just wasn't flavorful. The beans were very good! And the potatoes obrian was more onions & bell pepper than potatoes. The chicken& waffles were AMAZING! we really enjoyed the waffles. Also got a side of bacon & eggs, sooo delicious

Our trio is vegetarian, and the prix fixe options were not v.f. However, Gary and staff were understanding, and adjusted the selections to fit our needs. The dishes were plated beautifully, there was no delay in service, and they did not serve a side dish of "attitude." Thankfully, as we were dining after 6pm, the dining rooms were not SRO, nor were their guests on the patio, or we certainly would not put upon the kitchen crew the adjustments. The setting and space of McRae's is refreshingly unique, cozy and welcoming. Dress up or down, you'll always feel welcome. And the previous times we have dined there, , the food is always prepared with attention, servings generous and the taste is superb. The creme brûlée? Truly, "tres magnifique." With a covered patio, McRae's is ready for any weather conditions in Dallas. There is also a full bar, and our wine pours were not stingy. "Thanks again" Gary and crew, for your hospitality, support and ever delicious food. "Support local and independent" knowing that McRae's is a top choice and standout in this category.

We were huge fans of Meddlesome Moth(which had closed a few months prior). The beer list didn't excite me(I'm a beer snob) but the bar vibe and the great staff quickly made me forget about that. We eat there twice a month now and when we don't get in on a regular schedule, we really miss it. I'm a huge fan of the steak frites and my wife loves the weekly pasta dishes which never disappoint. The cocktails are great and they're made by the friendliest barkeeps in town(Matt, Christine) Christopher keeps the place flowing and Brittani(owner) is great and always welcoming. The overall vibe is comfy and totally unpretentious. Goldies is a hidden gem but has quickly become a popular spot. Great spots like this don't stay hidden very long. Highly recommended! Carter L

Food, however, wasn't great, we came multiple times last year and it was fantastic all around, last night?... New risotto appetizer was flavorless 4/10, sauce was outstanding 9/10. Chicken meatballs were 6/10, salty, but sauce again was 8.5/10. Bread with the meatballs was 9/10. Nightly special was 9/10, chicken thigh wrapped chicken leg, amazing sauce and carrots. Special sauce with the nightly special stole the night at 9.5/10 - I'd order a bowl of that and call it a night! Magic Chicken Thighs were 6/10, overly salted and dry - side arugula salad was a salt bomb 2/10. Sweet potatoe purée was 7.5/10. Burger and fries were 7/10, solid and above average. Salmon was 7/10, slightly overcooked. Mac & Cheese was 3/10, below average, dry, almost flavorless - paid $4 for bacon topping and it was dry also. Noodles were dried out and the cheese sauce was at the bottom of the cup, tasted like they scooped in pre-made noodles, added sauce, threw it in the oven and off it went - didn't appear mixed together at the least. Carrots, solid 8/10. Overall, I'd be tempted to give it another try, the ambiance and overall feel is awesome - then hope the food is great again and make it a perfect Friday night spot, but for $275 for the 4 entree's, 2 appetizer's and 2 drinks we got last night? I'd argue it wasn't worth it.

It's the kind of place where you can come as you are, grab some good food and drinks, and just hang out. The patio is definitely the star of the show! It's big, relaxed, and has a great neighborhood vibe. We loved that it's dog-friendly and super family-friendly too. There were lots of kids enjoying the space, which makes it a great place for everyone to gather. Goodfriend has a great beer selection, fun specials, and a menu full of casual favorites. It's perfect for a weekend afternoon, meeting up with friends, or just enjoying the Dallas weather outside. One little thing I noticed: we've been able to split appetizers for payment in the past, but this time we weren't able to. Not a huge deal, but a little more consistency with payment options would make the experience even smoother. He was a nice guy, service was good. Overall, this is a cool neighborhood hangout with a great patio, good food, friendly vibes, and a place you can easily spend a few hours relaxing.

They love dogs and came to hang out with our dog and give them plenty of water. They even offer treats if you would like. There is plenty of parking for an off period (we came at around 2pm). This is such an awesome place, but next time we will sit inside.

We brought our dog bc the patio is dog friendly (it is also smoking friendly so you can make your own choice on that!) We ordered the French 75 and the Police and Thieves (I think that's the same- it has celery infused gin) and they were both great! Then we ordered the katsu fries and the fried olives, I personally a not even a huge olive lover but it was so different I wanted to try! And again, it was so yummy! The sauce on the fries was a little spicy and the olives had so much flavor! I think both would be good apps for a group! I want to try the smash burger and the Nashville hot chicken next so TBD!

You will miss it, but I have to say this is a bar like they say don't judge a book by its cover cause when I pulled up, I was like, where am I, but when I opened the door, wow, it was terrific. The vibe is on point. They have a big karaoke stage. They do game nights. They do a Mario Party or Mario Kart night, and they have a happy hour. They have a game room in the back with darts, pool tables, and a few arcades that offer free play. I mean, this place was amazing. We came on Friday after work. I got the cocktail. I can't remember the name, but it was a celery gin-infused cocktail. It was on point, delicious. My coworker got another cocktail that had mezcal in it. This cocktail was so good, the way it was made. It was just delicious. We also ordered the umami pretzels with a three different dipping sauce, a mustard and apple type of sauce and I can't remember the other one, but I highly recommend this as a starter the sauces were so good and everything so I really wanna go back and try the food because the bartender was telling us that they just opened up in August they have a chef a new person there and so I'm really excited to try some of the food that they have there overall it was an amazing experience love the vibe you need to check them out like I said if you don't pay attention, you will drive past them so I highly recommend this bar. I can't wait to go back.
