    Berry Pancakes (2 pancakes, berry sauce topping, 2 eggs, pick your meat). Had we known the pancakes were this big we'd have asked for 1.
    La'Tressa G.

    Nice, spacious restaurant with vibrant and elegant decor. This is definitely one of those places that offer both aesthetic and quality food in DFW, which is hard to come by. I was surprised at how good their playlist was too. Most places play the same 20 songs so it was nice to hear a mix of different songs/genres throughout the decades. When my husband and I walked in we were asked if we made a reservation, which is nice to know that they offer, but threw me off guard because they don't have a business website (the link takes you to Facebook) & there's no mention of reservations on the page. It'd be nice to learn how to do that for future reference. Nonetheless we were told our estimated wait time was 30 minutes, which for a Saturday isn't bad & had the option to sit in their lobby area or at the bar. We chose to relax in their lobby. The chairs were comfortable but being that the waiting area is right next to the door we were freezing. My suggestion would be to have a heater or two in the sitting area during the winter months, to reduce the wind chill people feel every time someone comes in/leaves out. When it comes to the food, everything was delicious & our server Kay (now honorary cousin) was incredible from start to finish. She gave us the break down of the menu, expected wait times being that every item is made to order, and also told us more about the after hours lounge to check out for additional entertainment and enjoyment. Three things to know about this establishment is they DO NOT accept cash payments, you will wait at least an hour between check in and when your food arrives (so don't come starving) & you can't call in to make a to-go order. I thought the to-go restriction was odd at first, but now that I've eaten here I understand why. We really enjoyed our time at Brunch Room Bistro and look forward to our next visit.

    Baked Mac and Greens

    100 out of 10 lol this place is exactly what we mean when we say we want a cute, aesthetically pleasing, great customer service, good food experience. There is a nice sitting area while you wait for your table. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing, she was nice. The girl with the guitar putting on a show was excellent! The food was beyond good. 100x better than I expected. I will definitely be back very soon.

    Blown away by the hospitality here! The staff was amazing, and it was such a nice touch to meet the husband-and-wife owners who greeted us at the door and even stopped by our table to check on the food. We had the spaghetti and catfish--something you don't see often in Texas since it's more of a Midwest (especially Chicago) tradition--and it was spot on! The food came out hot, delicious, and with portions big enough to share. We also tried the greens--personally, I thought they could've been cooked a bit longer (a little on the crunchy side)--but the cornbread and strong drinks totally made up for it. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. Great food, great people, and I genuinely felt appreciated.

    Catfish plate (grits and eggs)

    BRUNCH ROOM BISTRO IS INCREDIBLE!! Comfort food, live music and good vibes! This was my family's first time here and we were impressed. The service was fantastic (thank you, Kay!!) our server was sweet, funny and just a joy to engage with! Onto the food, I got to try a piece of my sisters catfish, it was crispy but not overly crunchy and very well seasoned. Collard greens 10/10! The cornbread was very sweet just like cake and topped with a drizzle of honey. I ordered the jerked oxtail. It was tender with a hint of spice! It didn't come with any sides so I ordered a side of rice. My only complain is that rice or cornbread should come WITH the meal. Each side is $8 each and paying that much for rice is really off putting... I enjoyed it. For drinks I went with the passion fruit mimosa ($6 per glass) my sisters got some type of tropical drink with rum (pictured!) I got to taste a sip and it was super boozy and just as described. All the drinks were well crafted. The ambiance was wonderful. They had live jazz music playing on a Saturday afternoon--such a great touch!

    Caramel Macchiato & Very Berry Mocktail
    Juana E.

    This spot is cozy and fills up quickly, so expect a lively brunch vibe. Music selection was on point! We arrived and the place was already buzzing. For drinks, I ordered the Very Berry mocktail, which was delicious and refreshing, while my companion had a Caramel Macchiato. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes with chipotle aioli and goat cheese. It was a decent appetizer with good flavor. The Crab Cakes (two cakes served with house slaw) also had good seasoning, though I would've loved a bit more crunch on the batter. The Peach Cobbler Pancake was very generous in size and rich in flavor. Most definitely on the sweeter side. Personally, I prefer a little more balance, but if you love sweet-forward brunch dishes, this one delivers. The Fried Fish was seasoned well and fried perfectly. It was flavorful and nicely done. I also tried the Pot Roast Hash with breakfast potatoes, cheese, onion, bell pepper, and two eggs. It was interesting and different, featuring a tomato-based sauce. Not bad at all, just not my favorite. I did order a side of bacon, but after about a 30-minute wait, I ended up canceling it. I'm not sure if the delay came from the kitchen or our server. Overall, the food and vibe are good enough that I'd definitely come back and give it another try. Worth revisiting.

    Catfish. Really really good

    If you're looking for your next favorite brunch spot -- this is it! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is everything: soulful music, warm rustic-upscale ambiance, and the kind of energy that just makes you want to stay awhile. The food? Pure comfort with a twist -- think classic breakfast and brunch dishes with that soulful touch that keeps you going back for "just one more bite." Service was top-notch -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely interactive. You can tell the staff loves what they do, and it makes the whole experience even better. Whether you grab a seat at the bar, a cozy table, or enjoy the outdoor patio, there's not a bad spot in the house. Plus, there's a private parking lot right in front (major bonus!). Recommendation: GO!!! This place will definitely be a new go-to for me.

    Sangria, lalo tequila drink
    Jennifer W.

    First let me review what was great, that was the crab cakes appetizer and the candied yams. The catfish, grits and eggs were delicious as well as the spaghetti and catfish. The service was friendly but busy. The ambiance was nice with a live band performing some r&b. My only disappointment were the drinks I ordered. The Sangria tasted like just juice, a definite mocktail. I didn't complain and decided to order the same drink my daughter had but no luck there, it tasted totally different from hers. I had to bring this to the attention of the waitress. She informed me that the bartender changed the ingredients of my drink, very unacceptable but they made it whole by offering another drink made correctly. That was okay but still wasn't what my daughter had. I'd come back for the food but not the drinks, never know what you'll get. I appreciate a good dining experience but paying the amount I did felt illegal after the drink issues. I'd still recommend because the food is delicious. Make a reservation and enjoy!

    My wife and I visited for our anniversary breakfast, and it was a really nice experience. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were cooked well and very flavorful, while she had the pancakes and enjoyed them just as much. The restaurant wasn't busy that morning, so the atmosphere felt relaxed and gave us the chance to enjoy our meal without any rush. The space has a pleasing aesthetic stylish yet comfortable and the music was vibrant and an inviting vibe. Service was friendly and attentive, and everything arrived in a timely manner. For the quality of the food and the ambiance, the pricing felt fair. Overall, it was a lovely way to start our anniversary, and we'd be happy to come back and try more of the menu.

    Apple pie pancake
    Akisha E.

    Came here, visiting from Los Angeles, to celebrate my cousin's birthday for the weekend. We had reservations, and were seated immediately. I ordered the wings & waffles and shared apple pie pancake. I really liked the apple pie pancake but the wings & waffles were meh. The food was hit or miss within our party. My sister ordered the catfish & grits and she had to send her meal back because the fish was undercooked. Our waitress was so sweet and on top of it. She looked at it and even agreed that it was undercooked. She was so apologetic as if she cooked it lol. Although the food was just ok, service was exceptional!!! Front the front staff, wait staff, and the owner (we met the wife), everyone was so kind and welcoming. I appreciate that! I will definitely recommend Brunch Room Bistro. If I was a local, I'd give it another try. I'm observant, and what I noticed and liked about this business is that the owners and their staff take pride in Brunch Room Bistro. When you walk in, you'll see what I'm talking about. From the decor in the dining area to the decor in the women's bathroom- it's the attention to detail for me! I heard they are opening a speakeasy next door, so I'm sure it's gonna look amazing.

    Chicken & waffles
    Chrissie R.

    I enjoyed it. The sangria was DELICIOUS! I ended up trading it for the BRB. My friend ordered the BRB and it was too strong for her. About 1/2 was through I had to stop drinking it lol. It's no joke. The drinks were delicious and the Happy Hour price was amazing. It was my first time there, my friend had been previously and enjoyed it. The panacakes are HUGE. I couldn't finish even 1/2 of them. So love that. I was able to bring it home and had it for breakfast today. There was even enough for me to share with my kiddo. The bacon was thick and delicious. I get my eggs over medium and that's always a gamble. But there was no runny white stuff so it was great. Perfectly cooked. My friend enjoyed her food. She finished all of it I think. The ambiance is cute. Servers were nice. The only things I will say is that one we ordered our server only came by once to check on us. Luckily we didn't need anything. And one of our menus had dried food on it. Not the vibe you're going for in a classier joint like this. Besides that everything was great. Our bill was like $75 with tip for 2 amazing breakfasts and 2 delicious drinks. Not to bad for the high end feel right here in Forney. Plus, we didn't have to deal with traffic to Mesquite or Dallas. Will definitely be back. I also heard they have a lounge now! Excited to check that out as well.

    Fried green tomatoes
    Tae S.

    It's worth the drive! Everything about this place is fantastic. The location is large with good ventilation. The music is playing in the background is not too loud and you can actually have a nice conversation without having to scream. The service is kind and patient. Now the food is soo good. We ordered the green gumbo with cornbread - fantastic! The catfish and grits bowl with an egg- so good. We had the fish fried and blackened both were delicious. We also had the oxtail and grits - oxtail was falling off the bone. We ordered one huge pancake which you ready was not too sweet- so really good. The grits were creamy and had a good texture. That Mac and cheese was nice and creamy. The fried green tomatoes were just okay. We will be back. Oh and if you have a baby the owner will hold your baby while you eat. Like I said above, this place is worth the drive. We will be back.

    Flew into Dallas for the weekend and we went straight to brunch! The place is huge with plenty of seating and parking outside. Prices were on par for the area and it was a huge portion of food. The drinks were drinkinnnnnggg! I was one and done! Service was good for the most part but a tad slow. The vibe is brunch! Good times. Loud laughs. Great music! I would return the next time Im in the area! Everything was delish!

    I'm a fluffy pancake kind of girl, but these ones were pretty thin and crispy

    A week later and I am still thinking about the delicious food and fantastic service! We didn't wait…read moresuper long for a table and the hosts were great. We took my dad to dinner and he complained that it was a little loud, but felt like we sat right under a speaker. I explained to him that it was part of the "vibe". Other than the volume making it difficult to hear, everything was fantastic. We probably could have asked to sit on the heated patio. The chips were warm and fresh and came with both red and green salsa, and both were super tasty. My husband asked if I could make salsa like that at home! We ordered drinks and they came quickly. I appreciated the quality of the drinks especially since we mostly ordered from their drink menu. We ordered "The Good Guac" to start and our server made sure that it wasn't too spicy or anything for my dad. I thought that was very thoughtful that she asked if how it came was ok. For food we ordered street tacos, Baja fish tacos and the parillada en fuego. The food runner seemed confused and brought us another dish (maybe the Verde molcajete) but with the loud music the message that we didn't order it was lost in translation. My husband thought maybe it was what he ordered and started in. Because our server came to check on us so quickly, she caught the mistake right away. She apologized profusely and said they were bringing what we ordered. They allowed us to keep the dish, and no sooner did we have a few bites of the deliciousness the correct food came out. They checked on us quickly, apologized profusely, brought the correct food immediately, let us keep the other food, sent another manager to apologize and finally followed up with coupons to return after making sure we were satisfied with how they handled it. I understand humans make mistakes, so I feel like the recovery or response is what is important. This is the type of amazing service that will keep us coming back. We were actually happy with the mistake as we were able to try another dish we likely wouldn't have ordered (but ended up being our favorite thing to eat). The ambiance was fun, parking was easy, the wait was reasonable, the service was FANTASTIC, the food was delicious and food/drinks were made with quality ingredients. We'll be back!

    I've got a mixed review of Vidorra. At the end of the day, I don't think I'll be going back but…read morethat doesn't mean it was all bad. First, the good. Well, the good was definitely the chips and salsa. The chips were lightly dusted with some seasoning. I didn't take the time to figure out what it was, but it gave them a nice kick. So subtle but so significant. Unfortunately, my experience kind of dipped from there. Service was slow and a bit inattentive. I got the Molcajete parrillada en fuego. The literal translation is mortar grilled over fire. I should have asked what that meant because most Molcajete dishes are heated over fire. What it means at Vidorra is cook the meat, drop a hot coal in the mortar and put the cooked meat with a little mole on a grill screen over the mortar. It's basically a fajita dish served on top of the mortar bowl. However, it doesn't stay warm. Needless to say, I was disappointed. That said, the verde Molcajete that someone else got looked as expected. No one else (there were six of us) raved about their food. So, I'm in no rush to head back.

When we walked in, the hostesses greeted us and seated us at the table we had reserved in the Leopard Room. Initially, we were placed at a small half table along the wall. We asked if it was possible to move, and they happily accommodated us. That particular table felt a bit awkward for conversation since you can barely face the person across from you. It might work better for someone sitting alone and people watching rather than having a full conversation. Service throughout the night was great. The staff checked in regularly without being intrusive and made sure we always had what we needed. For drinks, I would say they were just okay. They were not bad, but they also were not particularly memorable. Given the speakeasy concept, I expected a bit more creativity in both flavor and presentation. We ordered the Melting Clock Elixir, Persistence of Berries, Cotton Candy Cloud, and the Surrealist 75. As the night went on, the space became much more crowded and louder once the DJ started playing. If you are hoping to have a relaxed conversation and catch up with friends, this might not be the best spot later in the evening. From what I saw, the Library Room seems to have a nicer atmosphere for that. The Leopard Room leans more toward a lounge or club-like environment as the night progresses.

    I'm not a big fan of this spot. It's probably better for the partying late night crowd but I prefer…read moreIsabelle's upstairs for a great cocktail experience. Nobody is probably great if you're looking for a late night party vibe but not so great if you're looking to have a conversation with close friends. The one thing I will also add is that the smell here is a little off. I'm not sure why but maybe it has something to do the carpet floors? It reminds me of a low end bar that hasn't been cleaned up yet -- that is it the case here, it is clean, just smells a little off!
