    Chocolate milk

    The chocolate milk is so good and not a lot not a little but just right amount of sugar

    BenHam - Eggs Benedict with shaved ham instead of Canadian bacon
    Andrea H.

    This is where you come to stuff yourself with pancakes and all other decadent breakfast items. Sure, they have a lunch menu too, but the diner excels in making pancakes. If you get a regular table, you can at least push yourself away from the edge to accommodate your expanding belly. We were at a booth, but since my bench didn't have a table behind me, I was able to push back and make some room. We came around 10:30 am on a Sunday in January. There were a lot of people there, but our service was fantastic. Lori regularly checked on us, brought iced tea refills, and offered us things we might need. My Eggs Benedict actually came with potatoes, but I asked if I could substitute them with pancakes. Our waitress, Lori, replied in an upbeat tone, "We're a pancake house, you can always get pancakes!". My plain stack of pancakes were delightful, and although, not really healthy, my Eggs Benedict Florentine did come with spinach, tomato, and mushrooms, so I felt a little better about pigging out. My husband ordered the monster Western Cheddar Omelette that is made with four eggs, ham, and a slew of veggies. He also got the Banana Pecan Pancakes. He devoured that instead of the omelette, but he did manage to savor at least half of the omelette. We waddled out of there stuffed. I'm pretty sure we won't need to eat (or want to eat) anything else for the day. Great place to enjoy a filling meal with friends and family anytime.

    My husband got the Classic Belgian Waffle! He loved it, super warm, fresh and fluffy

    Me and my husband love having breakfast at The Original Pancake House! The place is always full on the weekends, which you know means that the place is really good hah! And they always seat people right away, or if we wait it's normally not too long if it's busy. We always order the Belgium waffles, they are fluffy, buttery and sooo good! My favorite is the breakfast burrito, and with the salsa that comes with it is what keeps me from trying something new it's that good! I also add avocado for the avocado lovers out there We also love the coffee because you can tell us freshly brewed such a great place, we always come back to it and it is definitely worth trying !

    I was looking to find a good breakfast spot and I've been meaning to try this place out The aesthetic is clean and overall old-timey and the service was great. I ordered myself some pancakes along with a Latte and some loaded potatoes. The food was very good but it was a bit pricey though, but it can be good on occasion. So if you're looking to find a good breakfast experience this is a good place to go.

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.

I hit the jackpot gem with Bucket and Rope. This place is just off the main areas in downtown near the Dallas Farmer's Market. The patrons are mostly locals who know what's up. The layout is spacious but welcoming. I sat at the bar as I was solo, but there were plenty of great seating options including comfortable couches. The patio is currently being re-done, but will be perfect for the upcoming fall season. The menu offerings were plentiful and varied, but there are specials and rotating options as well. Alexa at the bar greeted me, and went over the menu and specials with me. She did a great job making my cocktails and giving casual conversation throughout. I ordered the off-menu Steak Frites with broccolini and fries. The steak was charred perfectly on the outside and moist and at the lovely medium temp on the inside. The broccolini was on point with just a bit of spice from the red pepper. Fries were shoestring style, and they did it right with that perfect crisp on the outside and soft inside. I learned that Thursdays are paella night! What a great surprise in downtown Dallas! When in the city again, this will absolutely be my go to place for cocktails and great food.
