    Cabbage roll special
    Victoria E.

    While down in the hospital district had to stop by for lunch. Great diner ambiance and wait staff. Small can be crowded and noisy but delicious home cooking. They serve breakfast all day and we were tempted but my friend came for their liver & onions, with spinach & macaroni & cheese. She enjoyed every bite along with the brown gravy it came with. I went with one of the lunch specials a smaller portion for $12.95. A giant Cabbage roll stuffed with rice and pork and covered in a creole sauce with one side fried okra. Food was great and so much I had plenty for another meal. Also rolls and cornbread.

    What I love about this place is the old time customer service. Everyone rushing around to take your order and follow up to make sure everything is okay. Used the short Express Menu today. Old fashioned ~ 2 eggs over medium, grits, bacon, biscuits and gravy. Fresh coffee. Good news you can swap menu items around to your liking. Food came out hot and was very good. Although the Diner is old, menus a bit tattered, not fancy, however, clean restaurant, and customers are friendly. Restrooms are tiny but that's ok. Open early. They close at 3p every day. Serve breakfast all day. Both lunches and desserts are tasty. So much to choose from.... Located just down the road from UT Southwestern and Parkland Hospitals.

    This was a cute old-fashioned diner, and our waiter was very kind, but the food was very underwhelming. It was in need of major seasoning. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and jt tasted like the patty was unsalted. The other guests with me said their food was also just ok. A better diner option is maple leaf diner in carrolton.

    The best breakfast diner in Dallas!!! The service and food is always consistently and exceptionally excellent. Their coffee is great! The shakes are incredible! Eggs and beef are always cooked as requested. The menu offers a large selection of options for breakfast as well as lunch. Highly recommend. We absolutely love this place!

    Service was really great and food came out fast! My lemon with tea was pretty funny but I enjoy lots of lemon juice so I didn't mind too much. My apple pancakes were so delicious and filled me up completely! My friend's food was also good according to them

    Pecan, Applle Or Blueberry Waffle

    We had an excellent brunch here on July 4th! It was packed, but we got seated after a 15 min wait and service was great despite how busy it was. I also love all the sauces, syrups, and jams at each table. We got the blueberry waffle, and I loved the waffle but did not like the blueberry sauce, I wish it had real blueberries instead. I loved the biscuits-they were buttery and soft. I also liked the Ranchero omelete, but wish the salsa had more flavor. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy! Overall, we had an excellent meal here.

    Great, classic diner. Felt like a hole in the wall restaurant. The food was delicious, and service was friendly and inviting. I got the eggs Benedict which was delicious.

    Take a step back in time to the early 1950's at the Original Market Diner. While the decor fits the era this place was built and adds to the ambiance of the place, the prices are far from those of the 1950's. Example, just under $17.00 for an omelette! The food was just ok, not great and certainly not bad. I ordered a Ham & Cheese Omelette that came with Hash Browns and Biscuits and Gravy. We also tried the Pancakes. I enjoyed the light and fluffy biscuits and the hashed browns the most. My grandma used to say "some pancakes need a little more syrup than others". These were pancakes that needed extra syrup! The service was great, absolutely nothing to be critical or uncomplimentary there about. Our server Laura was fantastic.

    Jalapeño cheese burger
    Ivan J.

    We came here after day one of martial arts state finals. It was right next to our hotel. Figured why not? Overall our experience was great. First the place felt like a part out of a horror film. Not a typical classic diner, but a dark classic diner. Like twilight zone. I don't know, that's what the midget said? I thought it was cool. A little rough, but it kinda was cool. Ok onto the food. The service was ok. I think it's because we went right before they closed, and we felt a bit rushed. We kept it simple, and just had burgers and the jalapeño mozzarella sticks. Let's start with the appetizer. They were actually good. They mixed the jalapeño flavor into the breading. You can see the jalapeño on the outside of the sticks! Great idea and it works! Wish they were actually spicy. Still good! He had the bacon cheeseburger, and I had the jalapeño cheeseburger. The buns were great, the beef could've used more seasoning. They give you tons of fries! Where they were creative with the mozzarella sticks, my jalapeño burger was just a burger with pickled Jalapeño slices from a can thrown on top. Not creative at all, and a little disappointing. Like a reach to charge more. We had dessert, hard not too when you are sitting next to the case. We asked for a recommendation and were told carrot cake and banana cream pie. They were both great, but the carrot cake was by far better. Not too sweet, not too much carrot. Just right. The other pie was just ok. Also, a HUGE plus is they had stevia at the table! I wish more restaurants had it! We will come back when we are back, to try more of the menu!

    Cute little diner. The food was delicious and cooked the way I ordered it. The portion size was more than I could eat and price wasn't bad. Service was great. Food came out quickly and hot.

    Local classic, I've lived within walking distance of this diner for the longest time, but only recently ventured in. Walking in, you feel the classic diner vibe. A mix of booths, tables, and the kitchen side bar. Low indoor lighting but plenty of windows allowing natural light in. The location has plenty of foot traffic but no wait. There's a melodic comfort hearing the kitchen, and others conversing. It's an inviting place. My waitress was very attentive and friendly. She was quick to bring me my water and coffee, not long after taking my order. I ordered the classic eggs with sausage, hashbrowns, and biscuits & gravy. The food arrived fresh with my eggs cooked to perfection. The sausage was a little dry but still delicious. The biscuits were fresh and the perfect sponge to soak up the yolks. The food was as you'd expect from a diner hitting the spot after a long night out. I'm eager to come back and try some of their other options. Highly recommend!

    Chicken and dumplings
    Randy V.

    For the meatloaf sandwich with fries and my wife got the chicken dumplings. My sandwich had a very good taste and my fries were perfectly hot and crispy. The chicken dumpling was flavorful for a dumpling. The chicken and dumpling came with corn bread and yeast rolls. The corn bread was a little dry but the yeast rolls were on point. The ambiance reminded me of a 1950's dinner. The waitress made sure that we never ran out of tea. Only complaint was that I got full before I had a chance to get some of the pie in the case. Maybe next time.

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.
