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.

Enchiladas verdes (three) with rice and refried beans.

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.

We ordered the 32 bone in wings combo that comes with curly fries and your chose of dipping sauce. Our wing flavors were *Apple BBQ (YUCK!!!!), the original hot buffalo (DECENT) and the Garlic Parmesan (YUCK!!!). We ordered via DoorDash . Food arrived nice hot and fresh . Only the flavorings Weren't very good . The wings could use more sauce, minus The Garlic Parmesan .. This was my first time ordering garlic Parmesan that wasn't a dry rub. And trust that I'll never do That again. They were gross but at least a little bit tolerable than the Apple BBQ. Like who comes up with these flavors lol ?? And why ??? I Simply wanted regular BBQ but that was not an option. My Review is solely based off my preference. This establishment seems pretty credible/popular, so I'm sure there are plenty of people who do like and appreciate these different flavors , And I respect that , I just didn't care for them. I requested fried hard for all the wings hoping to avoid the slimy inside texture while still having the crispy skin, that request was ignored. The curly fries were yummy and nicely seasoned. They weren't too hard nor too soft. They also have some really good ranch . It's so hard to find good ranch in the grocery stores and I've tried almost every brand and for some reason the wing restaurants Seem to always have some secret access to the good ranch lol. The pricing was decent, especially with the shortage of winglets and the price surge in the wing restaurants. This business was actually the most reasonable in price and quantity out of (wing stop, wing world, and Buffalo Wild Wings ). I more than likely wouldn't order from here again , mainly because the flavors that I enjoy on wings and preparations of my likings aren't offered here.

Small place but it made the experience a bit intimate especially in the low light. Sat at the bar and had a couple of spicy margaritas which were really great - not too sweet out sour. Bartenders were very friendly and took care of us and seemed to care for everyone at the bar. Saw the manger walking around and genuinely seem interested in making sure everyone was happy. Food was delicious. Started with the Focaccia bread which was fresh and hot and a great appetizer. We ordered the pork chops and filet mignon. Both were incredible and we enjoyed the meal so much I bought some flank steaks the next day to grill and some focaccia bread to bake just to experience something similar at home again. This is definitely a place we would visit again!

Our trio is vegetarian, and the prix fixe options were not v.f. However, Gary and staff were understanding, and adjusted the selections to fit our needs. The dishes were plated beautifully, there was no delay in service, and they did not serve a side dish of "attitude." Thankfully, as we were dining after 6pm, the dining rooms were not SRO, nor were their guests on the patio, or we certainly would not put upon the kitchen crew the adjustments. The setting and space of McRae's is refreshingly unique, cozy and welcoming. Dress up or down, you'll always feel welcome. And the previous times we have dined there, , the food is always prepared with attention, servings generous and the taste is superb. The creme brûlée? Truly, "tres magnifique." With a covered patio, McRae's is ready for any weather conditions in Dallas. There is also a full bar, and our wine pours were not stingy. "Thanks again" Gary and crew, for your hospitality, support and ever delicious food. "Support local and independent" knowing that McRae's is a top choice and standout in this category.

Food, however, wasn't great, we came multiple times last year and it was fantastic all around, last night?... New risotto appetizer was flavorless 4/10, sauce was outstanding 9/10. Chicken meatballs were 6/10, salty, but sauce again was 8.5/10. Bread with the meatballs was 9/10. Nightly special was 9/10, chicken thigh wrapped chicken leg, amazing sauce and carrots. Special sauce with the nightly special stole the night at 9.5/10 - I'd order a bowl of that and call it a night! Magic Chicken Thighs were 6/10, overly salted and dry - side arugula salad was a salt bomb 2/10. Sweet potatoe purée was 7.5/10. Burger and fries were 7/10, solid and above average. Salmon was 7/10, slightly overcooked. Mac & Cheese was 3/10, below average, dry, almost flavorless - paid $4 for bacon topping and it was dry also. Noodles were dried out and the cheese sauce was at the bottom of the cup, tasted like they scooped in pre-made noodles, added sauce, threw it in the oven and off it went - didn't appear mixed together at the least. Carrots, solid 8/10. Overall, I'd be tempted to give it another try, the ambiance and overall feel is awesome - then hope the food is great again and make it a perfect Friday night spot, but for $275 for the 4 entree's, 2 appetizer's and 2 drinks we got last night? I'd argue it wasn't worth it.

It's big, relaxed, and has a great neighborhood vibe. We loved that it's dog-friendly and super family-friendly too. There were lots of kids enjoying the space, which makes it a great place for everyone to gather. Goodfriend has a great beer selection, fun specials, and a menu full of casual favorites. It's perfect for a weekend afternoon, meeting up with friends, or just enjoying the Dallas weather outside. One little thing I noticed: we've been able to split appetizers for payment in the past, but this time we weren't able to. Not a huge deal, but a little more consistency with payment options would make the experience even smoother. He was a nice guy, service was good. Overall, this is a cool neighborhood hangout with a great patio, good food, friendly vibes, and a place you can easily spend a few hours relaxing.
