    The 100 year Old Cigar
    Eric N.

    Alex is a superb bartender and extremely professional. It's easy to see how much care he puts into each drink. He introduced me to the "100-year-old cigar" and it may be my favorite cocktail now. I've had steak ftrites throughout Dallas and without a doubt they are the best at the Heights. Do yourself a favor and substitute the green beans for the frites . They may be better than the steak!

    Jake, best bar tender in East Dallas. Brunch customers love his drinks and attention to detail. Food is amazing. I always get the pancakes.

    Easy parking, Jake, the server calls us his guests, not customers. He's fast and friendly and the food was amazing. Beautiful setting for a special day. We made small talk. Then I ordered a Moscow Mule, but made with tequila. Delicious in a copper mug.

    Inside
    Elisa M.

    I went to Yelp looking up a brunch spot near me and this came up . . . However I don't know if I'd say this was the brunch I had in mind. I was thankful I was able to call and get on the waitlist as when we arrived the place was PACKED. We were offered outside seating however it was COLD outside and I don't tolerate cold weather well. So we waited for an inside table and the place is on the smaller side of most brunch spots I visit. Got seated and reviewed the menu ~ I had to laugh as my niece flipped the menu to look for more options only to see none there. I ordered the breakfast tacos with bacon and cheese ~ three came with the order and the bacon was chopped and mixed into the eggs. Not bad but different and not what I had expected. My niece got the burger and her mom got the lox bagel. Her bagel came with a side of fruit and if I liked lox, I would have ordered that as it looked to be more filling than the tacos. I eventually had to go get a sweater as every time the door opened a gust of cold air would fill the place but that's a me problem not something I see them being able to fix. Seems like a place that locals come to as I heard one guy say "someone's in my spot" ~ don't recall a drink menu being offered to me, but I did see what looked like a full bar. It's not likely I'll return but this is more so because it's off the beaten path for me versus anything that else.

    You know how there are some places you go because they are consistently good and reliable? The Heights is one of those places. It's our local neighborhood spot for great breakfast, delicious lunches/dinners, and solid cocktails. It's a cozy place with a beautiful bar, a few high tops and banquette seating, largely frequented by locals. They also do have outside seating in decent weather. The staff is attentive but not overbearing. But, y'all, the food is seriously always good. Breakfast and brunch are popular... don't miss out on the migas or the toasted oatmeal granola pancakes. (If anyone remembers the Legal Grounds days -- these are the prom cakes.) My bestie requests we visit every time she is in town because she's obsessed with those pancakes! Biscuits and gravy are also yummy! They serve Full City Rooster coffee/espresso/lattes/etc. Or get you a mimosa, or two, if you aren't into coffee drinks! Lunch and dinner also have standout items. The pork chop, the pot roast, the mussels, and the burgers!! They also have a fish of the day and a special dessert on their daily chalkboard. Oh -- I almost forgot the Reuben. Try that, too! Full bar with really great classic signature cocktails on the menu. Who doesn't love a sloe gin fizz?? The Heights is the quintessential neighborhood spot you don't wanna miss!

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Kelley H.

    Great little brunch spot in Lakewood. The staff were all super nice and the menu was short and to the point but my biscuits and gravy were pretty good ! I was worried the jalapeños maybe spicy but I didn't really notice. Overall great little spot !

    My family and I stopped by The Heights on a Sunday afternoon for brunch. The service was attentive, the food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the outdoor ambiance was great. The restaurant was pretty packed inside during the lunch rush, so we chose to sit outside--and it ended up being the perfect spot on such a nice day.

    We decided to check out the heights for branch. They had great reviews on Yelp. And if I focus solely on the food, I agree, the food is fresh, simple and good. I got the bagel and lox and they did not skimp on the salmon or the capers. It also came with fresh fruit, which was tasty as well. My kid got the plain burger and added bacon, it came with fries. She really enjoyed it. They also have a full bar and coffee cocktails. If you get there, after prime time, it would be a cool place to hang out. So why won't I be back? Because I went at about 12:15 and we called ahead of time, and they put our name on the wait list. I don't know why they have a wait list.Because we still stood in line. When we got there, there was a line out the door, the establishment is not really made with the waiting area. So we were standing in the aisle between people's tables, while the wait staff was trying to walk around us to serve other tables. It is a very small restaurant, and it really is not conducive for the crowd. They do have outside seating, but the day we were there, it was very chilly outside. And even though they have heaters inside of the outside seating, which is basically a tent for me and my party, it was too cold to eat outside. So unless I go during nonprime time hours, I probably won't be back.

    The ambiance is great. Lots of familiar faces. Super food. Great service at the bar with Jake. He knows what you want to order and works fast and efficiently to keep you coming back.

    Great food and service. Been a staple of mine for 6 years. Over the past 6 months though portion sizes have shrunk to an absurd size, particularly for the brisket pot roast. Shrinkflation is here.

    Toasted Short Stack of Oatmeal Pancakes
    Chelsea O.

    A weekly staple for us. If we're not there for Sunday breakfast, then we're there for dinner at some point. Everything is always consistent and full of flavor. They truly care about the service and food they put out. Such a great local spot, very cozy inside. We love sitting at the bar or out on the patio. From a regular, here's what I would order: - toasted oatmeal pancakes with sausage - potato hash - burger - DEVILED EGGS (I dream about them) - pot roast - shrimp Louie

    Chicken Pot Pie. BOMB
    Travis S.

    Good outstanding. Great bartenders. Solid dive bar. Always have specials for drinks and food and the staples on the menu never miss. The chicken pot pie is the best you can get in Dallas. It's fantastic. Ice cold martinis are a must and they also have great burgers. Local place for the people of Lakewood for a while and a staple for the days to come.

    Pork Chop!
    Kevin C.

    Has this place bookmarked for a while and me and the wife finally hit it on a date night recently. We both loved the vibe and the food. I had a few Sazerac's and she had the Espresso Martini and we both enjoyed the appetizer cocktails. For the main course I got the pork chop and it is easily one of my favorite's in DFW (not overpriced like other's bone-in chop). The sautéed green beans really surprised me. She got the chicken pot pie and she had to keep slapping my hand away from sneaking bites.

    Are there any vegetarian options? I don't see any on the menu.

    Salads, macaroni and cheese, veggie side dishes, black bean patty burgers, soups (some without meat, ask you server) And for breakfast we have oat meal, granola yogurt parfait and we offer veggie sausage. Hope this helps and that we see you soon.… 

    Are they still only offering take-out and delivery?

    We offer take out. We do not deliver or use delivery services.

    Are y'all planning on opening up for breakfast during the week anytime soon? It was such a treat before the pandemic hit. (:

    Just Fridays. We are open for brunch Saturdays and Sundays as well.

    Do they have gluten free?

    Yes, they do have gluten free options

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.
