Once again, a good morning at The Dallas Diner. Really, what made our experience is the wait staff. Everyone is so kind. Bringing my mom in is a bit of a challenge and they were so patient with us. My coffee cup was NEVER empty and our water glasses were kept full. I ordered the migas and it was good! Other orders at our table; tacos, pork chop, pancakes, breakfast burrito... all good! This is just a good, solid place for hospitality, tasty diner food and bottomless coffee. We will be back.

Solid breakfast game with all the typical breakfast foods one would expect in Dallas including basics and TexMex options. Today we tried something completely different ...lunch. Enchiladas verdes were perfectly fiery with homemade salsa verde and the beans and rice were "old school" tasty. Chicken finger basket was the other order for our party which came out crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside with a side a hand cut fries. Service was on point today. Sometimes they can get a little "in the weeds" when everyone comes at once like on Sundays, but it's worth the wait and all those people clearly think so too. East Dallas neighborhood staple. This place has been around for over 30 years in some form. A few years ago, new management made lots of improvements in the decor. But some of it needs some refreshing now. Overall, it's a great neighborhood place with lots of regulars including me and my hubby.

What a nice find. Leaving the Social Security office, my beautiful life companion stated she was hungry and asked if we could stop for a bite. I had no idea where to stop. There are no shortages of places to eat in the MetroMess. I was not familiar with the area, so I headed home. I soon realized the standard route would not take me anywhere near a restaurant. I made a quick right and headed to a different part of town. I was surprised by the turn I would have normally taken and ended up heading in the opposite direction. Within a block, the Dallas Diner appeared out of nowhere--of course, it was somewhere. Let's give these guys a shot; I told Tish. She agreed, and it was a done deal. The place was small. It was not crowded. It was a little late for breakfast and a little early for lunch. Our waitress made us be welcome. I liked the feel of the place. Knowing Spanish would be a good thing but not necessary. I think the menu is diverse. I selected a hash and egg breakfast. Tish ordered the chicken fried steak. The food came promptly. It was good, old fashion diner food. Tish said her CFS was not the best she'd ever eaten, but it was tasty and well worth the price. One way or the other, it was a thumbs up. I enjoyed my hash and eggs very much. Not every dining establishment serves hash for breakfast. I considered Dallas Diner to be a go-to for breakfast. We'll have to come back for a lunch and see how that is. The people next to us had a lunch plate, and it looked delicious. I bet their lunches are equally as good as their breakfast. I say, give them a shot. I think you'll like the place.

If you want to feel like you're at a family home- then stop by Dallas Diner! They'll treat you just like family with some great service. The food comes out quickly and very delicious. It is smaller on the inside- but they have great outdoor seating areas as well.

I went to a nice Derby Event at Mcrae's and end up, with the winning horse, when I say " ain't no…read morestopping me now" GOD is preparing me for a win, for my well deserved in justice. The setup they had, was very nice, I did note people eating hot brown sandwiches and they looked and smelled delicious . I didn't eat or drink anything, although I did see, people order the favorite, mint julep's. Everyone was, having such a great time and the hat's were amazing that the ladies was wearing. The men, looked great and had nice hats on as well and was dressed to impress. Awesome Derby Event

Had a fabulous date night at McRae's - can't wait to return again…read more It is such a hidden gem in the neighborhood and when you walk in, you truly feel like you're transformed into to a different space. It is so beautiful inside and the service was incredible. I don't think my water cup ever got past half empty. Shout out to the water service. As for food, of course we started with the deviled eggs because that's what was recommended to us. They absolutely lived up to the hype and I'm dreaming about the next time I will eat these. The waitress recommended the lemon caper chicken to me and it was perfectly lightly breaded, and I'm not a huge fan on grits but loved these. The consistency was nice. My husband had the pork chop and he said it was very good. It was also ginormous. We finished off the mule with a flourless espresso chocolate cake, which hit the spot.

Great local place for good drinks & bar food. Met friends and had a nice time. Good service.read more

The name of the game is food. And I'm a superstar. I don't think I'm particularly picky, but I can…read morebe. Where it counts. Which is food. Sometimes things win and sometimes things lose. In the end, we all just try to tally up the wins and losses and try our best to rate a restaurant. This is my story. Usually when traveling, I try to get in a smattering of different genres of food. Mostly because I tire easy. Like when walking. I also try to get in some of the best things I like. Which are burgers. And wings. I'm also kind of a sucker for wildly long names of things. Which is exactly where good friend beer garden and burger house comes in. I really dug the look of the place. Open concept with the outside, outdoor seating, cool lighting ambiance. Just a really cool vibe and feel. Like a dorm room after your freshmen year. You know, once you get everything figured out and you aren't bunking with that weirdo with all the waifu pictures hanging up and FaceTimes with his cat. I will say though, the only weird drawback this place had was it was DARK on the inside. Never really had that problem before. Wouldn't have been an issue had I remembered my headlamp, but I left it back in the mines. And in all honesty, I don't care too much about the state of the building around me as long as the food hits hard. I was pumped about the wings as they seemed to have an assortment of flavors. I ordered four and thinking back, I can't remember why. Maybe that was the minimum, maybe you could only order in increments of four. Nobody really knows at this point and I'm way too far away to drive back and ask. So, four wings. You were able to split the sauces. Not like atoms, but like different flavors. This is food, not science. So, like a good CERN scientist, I requested split sauce. I inquired about the KFC flavoring and the server told me it was a rub and their version of secret blend of herbs and spices. I'm not a fan of rubs simply because if I'm going to eat wings, I want them saucy and messy. Like my relationships. BUT he said, and I quote "it's really good." That was all I needed to hear. Sign me up. After the rub I knew I needed a sauce. I settled with the Mild because it seemed like a good middle of the road. Man. Sometimes you do wings right and sometimes you do wings RIGHT. The KFC rub was 100% top tier rub. It wasn't a light rub which I've experienced before, it was a full on flavor soak. Make no mistake, you were going to experience that rub flavor. It was so good if I accidentally got some on my fingers, I'd just have nubs left. The Mild sauce was also top tier. Although I will say it seemed a few steps above a mild sauce. It was like a Low to Mid Hot sauce wearing a Mild sauce mask. Like the kind your mom and dad used to wear at those parties you weren't allowed to go to. Oh, and the wings had that chef's kiss crunch and that chiefs kiss juiciness. 10/10 want to experience these wings again in a Groundhog's Day setting. Now let's talk burger. I have found that I love smash burgers. I have not figured out yet how to make a delicious one myself, so I rely on the skill of others. Much like everything else in my life. Except dentistry. I do that myself. Castaway style. I ordered the Bourdain which included the patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and Kewpie mayo. Not sure what that last one is, but I like condiments on my burg, so sign me up. I'll let you in on a little secret, I used to make burgs for the Bee's back in my heyday. And a little deeper secret, I can't remember how we stacked them. That being said, when I make my personal burgers, everything is on top of the burger. I'll sometimes do a condiment or two on the bottom, but I have no real methodology. In my mind, you want that patty to hit those taste buds first. No middle man. Like the lawyer you kept having to talk to when trying to figure out which parent you wanted to live with. The Bourdain burger did the exact opposite with this burger. It had the lettuce and pickle as a buffer between meat and tongue. And honestly, I think that might have been what turned me off to the burger. I patties had good flavor, but it felt like it came in too late because I tasted toppings first. In my burger mind, this hurt more than it helped. Side Note: Fries were good. The spicy ranch would peel the paint off of any car, spot weld iron beams, and melt through your hand without protective gloves. It's hurting my mouth to even write this. PS Sorry for the sideways photos. I hate that, too. Chicken Wings: 12/10 Burger: 7/10 Spicy Ranch: Please Don't

My husband and I moved nearby and have wanted to stop in to check it out. We visited on a Friday…read moreafternoon and it was great! 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! We also had great servers, shout out to Charity and Maddie, long story short- we will come back, we have to check out karaoke!

So my coworker invited us out here. This was my first time at this location. We decided to go here…read moreafter work. It is right off of Garland Road. It is a black building. 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.
