I used to eat here 2-3 times a year in it's hey day. Then Grand Lux hit a few bumps. I've been back twice in the last few months and they're back. Consistency, quality and service are on track. Reasonable prices for the quality you recieve make Grand Lux Cafe a viable impromptu option. read more

Worse dining experience of my life! I've always loved Lux Cafe and always visit the Las Vegas location & This one here at the Galleria. We sat at our table for 1 hour before our food arrived. The server checked on us multiple times and was also confused why our food was taking so long and she said " it's just pasta! It shouldn't take this long!" She kept on bringing us bread, by the time our pasta arrived someone who was not our server brought the food. I think he may have been the one cooking in the back. His clothes were dirty, with food so I'm assuming he's a cook. He was so sweaty and out of breath. Brought our food and apologized for the wait. Tell me why our Pastas were Literally SWIMMING in oil! Like what?! The sauce was super salty, the meat in the pasta was burnt. Crusty burnt pieces which you could taste. I was hungry but disgusted at the food. Both of our pastas were sitting in a bunch of oil. The pasta was disgusting and we felt so sick after the few bites we did take. I will absolutely never in my life come here again. I felt robbed. I expect higher standards from Grand Lux Cafe. They were well aware of the slop they were plating and serving. They have absolutely no right to do this to people. We are paying to have a nice meal, not the be served GARBAGE. I'm so angry read more

Arrived for lunch on August 22 as part of my birthday celebration. My longtime friends joined me along with better half. It was difficult entering the restaurant entrance facing the North Dallas Tollway due to some type of construction in front of the building. We had reservations so the host took us straight to the table. We ordered food. We received a bread & butter appetizer. The bread was the "hard crust" type which was unacceptable. It's beyond me why restaurants would actually serve this hard crust bread to customers and expect recurring business. The food served was average...nothing to write home about. I find it interesting in my online reservations it was noted in the comments section that we were coming to celebrate my birthday. Neither the host nor server mention it during our time there. Unfortunately, we notice later at home on the receipt that we were overcharged by nearly $25. The golden rule still applies to thoroughly check your receipt BEFORE leaving the restaurant. read more

The atmosphere was great. The service was awesome. Larry took great care of us. Our appetizer was delicious. Our entrees were cooked as ordered and delicious. Our hot cookie were addictive. This was an outstanding lunch. read more

I've been to Grand Lux Cafe three times now, and I'm consistently surprised by how good the food is! The atmosphere has a fun, upscale Vegas feel with plush velvet and a touch of glam. The cocktails are great, and the food has exceeded my expectations every visit. Service has been on the slower side, but it's also been busy each time, so I can give them some grace. If the biggest complaint after three visits is slow service, I'd say they're doing pretty well! Definitely worth checking out. read more

We started coming after ice skating lessons on Sunday. The lessons start before the Galleria open and the Grand Lux was one of the few restaurants open. The service is excellent and the food has been fantastic. The portions are generous. We've had the chicken with waffles it has an amazing syrup and lightly crispy waffles much better than at any other restaurant we've eaten at. The child pasta and burgers are flavorful. Today I had the shrimp pasta and my grand daughter remarked that the broccoli in the pasta was excellent. I can't remember my 9 yo grand daughter being impressed by broccoli before Two visits we got the beignets. They were truly decadent read more

Bartenders were beyond rude maybe because it was close to closing time or what not but I ordered to go and went to the bar for a drink the day before my birthday and was ignored by a female bartender and when I asked her for a specific scotch she handed me a menu and said this is our drinks lol then she said some words to the male bartender and he was even more rude it's sad I'm rarely in this area and I love the spring rolls and beignets but I won't come back here because of those two read more

Grand Lux Cafe - Tahitian pineapple - Desserts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've dined here quite a few times and I can definitely tell that the food quality has gone down, the lunch special I had today was extremely bland, the steak literally had zero flavor the clam chowder was mid and the Caesar salad wasn't good either. I was low-key disappointed I hate paying for bad food. My waiter was nice he was not the problem but the chef definitely needs to be talked to because the food was very mediocre. Wont be back to dine in, just for happy hour drink. read more

I love the location in Vegas, so we had to stop by this one. Massive menu, but they do every dish very well. Love the big booths, it's clean and you can talk to people without it being too loud. Casual atmosphere but better (big portions) of food. Chicken and waffles 10/10 I had the gluten free pasta carbonara and it was great! I enjoyed the salad with ranch on the side and some fries. Everyone else ordered sandwiches and said they were very pleased! Their Arnold Palmer with 1/2 sweet tea and lemonade is delicious!! Service is always great. They took take of our large party of 10 - walked right in no problems and sat! read more

I came back this time with a large group of 10 during the Christmas season and we were seated in 10 mins on a busy day. Our server was fantastic. He was attentive to everyone including the kids. Everyone's meals were fantastic as well and they were extremely hot. I highly recommend coming during brunch or lunch time so you can try different food items on their menu. All the pasta dishes are fantastic but the carbonara is 10/10! Perfectly seasoned and the cream sauce was perfect! Overall I enjoy coming here when I visit the galleria mall! read more

So disappointed. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but not anymore. I recently visited after not being there for a few years, and the experience was nothing like I remembered. The salad was dry, my sides were forgotten, and although I wasn't charged for the fries I ordered, they arrived dry and tasted like they'd been sitting out for a while. The customer service was okay, but overall the quality has changed drastically. I won't be returning. I know the Houston location has already closed, and while this place has been around for years, it's sad to see the food and business go downhill. I've had three birthday dinners here in the past, so this really feels like a goodbye to what it once was. read more

Grand Lux Cafe - Desserts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Grand Lux is a sister restaurant with Cheesecake Factory, so you'll see some menu items that are shared between the two restaurants. And if you like Cheesecake Factory, you'll enjoy this restaurant as well. The food is equal. Where it's different, the decor. The Grand Lux is just that - it's grand! The decor is designed to make you feel like you're walking back in time to the beautiful 1920s. The lights, the walls, the ceiling are all so beautiful. And it's spacious, so no one feels like your sitting on top of your neighbor while eating. The service is really good. You're seated quickly (on the off hours - if it's during the busy time expect to wait). And the servers are always polite and knowledgeable about their menu. It's a great place for brunch and lunch. read more

Amazing food with great values! I got the lunch special and love their caesar salad, butternut squash soup, and turkey sandwich. The service was extremely quick and we didn't have to wait long at all for our food. Very nice servers too!

Food 5/5. We ordered the smash burger and salmon, yum!!! Quality: excellent and price point is on target Went to restroom and WHO'S THE MANAGER!! Get them in here! Utterly disgusted.

This is definitely a spot to visit for food, maybe just avoid the restroom read more

I read some reviews about long wait times, but our food arrived before our cocktails! Hahaha--that was unexpected. We stopped in for a random Thursday lunch to celebrate my friend's graduation--had a blast! Our server? Nothing special, but did the job. However, the food runner--a delightful dark-haired girl--was all smiles and bright energy. We both prefer lots of appetizers over a single main dish, so that's what we did! We saw a few highly praised dishes, so we went for them. We got four apps, thinking we'd have room for more--but knowing we wanted that molten lava cake, we had to stop ourselves (sadly). Appetizers We Tried: Beet Salad - Delicious! The only dish that saved us from fried food overload (hahaha). Buffalo Chicken Bites - First one? Loved it! Second one? Still good. Third one? Overwhelming. General Tso's Cauliflower - WOW. Not overcooked--still had a nice bite to it--pleasantly surprised! Crispy Fried Cheese - Holy moly, rich but amazing. Havarti & Fontina in parmesan breadcrumbs? OKAY, YES PLEASE! Complimentary Bread w/ Room-Temp Butter - A win! Not hard butter straight from the fridge--the bread was soft inside, was a bit chewy and had a crunchy crust. Hugo Spritz - Refreshing. Elderflower is our go-to apparently, and the basil + cucumber combo was the perfect touch in this heat. We waited a bit longer for dessert, but it's a baked sweet, so it was expected. Molten Lava Cake - Tasty but fell apart too easily. Flavor? Nice. We wanted to try more dishes but couldn't--so... we HAVE to come back! Coffee Looked Inviting - I don't usually drink it, but if my friend had said yes, I probably would've tried something. Cheesecake Factory Vibes - They even have 5-6 kinds of cheesecake for dessert! Too many restaurants to visit, not enough time! Haha We will return. read more

Super cool ambiance! The food here is actually great, with a fairly large menu, though I wish there was a bit more variety! The service here is a major issue. We saw a table never get waited on and just leave. We waited SUPER long in between being checked on. Food took an extremely long time to come out. Once it did, there were issues with the orders. Again, good quality food! Cool ambience, too! The service left us wishing we went somewhere else, though. Plenty of good food in Dallas. read more

Noisy atmosphere makes it hard to hold conversation with people in your party. Decor is over the top and tacky, looks more like Las Vegas. Service was not good. Waiter continued to come to the table asking if we were ready to order! He seemed like he was in a hurry. After ordering he was quick to disappear. Never came back to check on the table. The bread tasted like it had a chemical taste and the rest of the food was only SO-SO! Not impressed. Not worth the price or the drive there! read more

We were shopping in the Galleria and stopped in for a cocktail and a snack at happy hour. We sat at the bar and the bartender greeted us and we ordered Aperol spritz's and those were delicious. My friend is gluten-free and tried to ask about some options because the only thing marked on the menu that says gluten-free was a cheeseburger, but they looked like they had a lot more options that would've been able to be suitable (she was trying to ask questions) and he just wasn't helpful at all and pretty much dismissive. She totally gets that this is not a gluten-free kitchen so she just decided to skip the food, no worries. I ordered the potstickers and they were okay. It wasn't a bad experience but it was just okay. read more

Solid bread and surprisingly delicious nachos. Mac and cheese side was okay. All of the dinner portions here are massive, but the price is also on the higher side. Service was a bit questionable. We said we had three people and were seated with plates/silverware for two, then had to ask multiple times for more silverware, even after the food had come. Our server also asked if we were ready to order, we said yes, and then she walked away. Ambiance is nice. read more

Solid three stars. Service was great, as was the ambiance. The food is very underwhelming and overpriced for the quality. I wouldn't pay more than $10-$15 per dish for this quality. Also, skip the potato egg rolls - zero flavor and overall unappetizing. read more

I came here on my birthday for an afternoon visit with several family members and while the atmosphere was nice, the service was extremely slow and our particular server was very inattentive. We received no refills on drinks (nor were we asked) and one of the dishes was somewhat spicy, which makes a beverage refill appreciated. The server seemed to disappear from sight often and was not interested in maintaining the table. The restaurant was not at all busy and the service was very underwhelming. For my first visit to Grand Luxe Cafe as well as an afternoon birthday experience, I was impressed only by the food and the decor. read more

WHAT I ORDERED: Lunch Special Spicy Vodka Pasta PARKING: Located inside the mall, garage parking INSIDE: Spacious with plenty of seating, friendly staff, conveniently located inside the mall for a nice lunch or dinner after shopping. A great variety of options on the menu and you get a free side of bread and butter. THE FOODS/DRINKS: The lunch special comes with a side of mixed greens salad. The dressing was flavorful. The lunch portion was more than enough that I even brought some leftovers home. The pasta was delicious but missing the "spicy", nothing like a side of chili flakes can't fix. read more

Went to the location in Galleria mall and had a great experience. The host greeted us with a smile and sat us immediately. The waiter explained the long menu and what was and was not available at the time of day we were there. The food came out pipping hot and delicious. The server that brought out our food was having a birthday so she had money pinned to her so we contributed. The food was amazing as always and since we mentioned it was our one year wedding anniversary, the waiter brought out a dessert for us. It was a lunch crowd on a week day so the ambiance was more chill than the brunch crowd. read more

I decided to step outside of my usual favorites (I normally go for the Chicken Parmesan or the Cajun Chicken Jambalaya), and I'm so glad I did! This time I tried the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts -- and it did not disappoint. The salmon was perfectly grilled with a beautiful char on top, tender and flaky on the inside, and seasoned just right. It sat on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes that were smooth, buttery, and the perfect comfort-food pairing. The Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection -- crispy on the outside, flavorful, and not bitter at all. And let's talk about the drink... the cucumber mint lemonade? OMG. So refreshing, light, and perfectly balanced. I honestly couldn't get enough of it. Everything about this meal was delicious. I will absolutely be ordering this again. Safe to say I've found a new go-to! read more

I had high hopes for the meal, but the value just wasn't there. I ordered the Crispy Fish and Chips, which felt quite light for the price point--only four small pieces of fish. While the fish was okay, the fries were heavily over-salted. Surprisingly, the standout flavor of the entire plate was the coleslaw with honey-roasted peanuts, rather than the main dish itself. The Calypso Mojito was also a letdown. It was packed with ice and tasted significantly watered down; it felt like it had barely a 0.5 oz pour of Bacardi. For the price, I expected a much more balanced drink and a more substantial portion of fish. The waiter was outstanding- very attentive! read more

This restaurant has a very nice decor and is very big. Their plate portion sizes are definitely on the larger side. We came with a large group of 24 of us. I was able to make reservations very easy and we got seated almost right when we got there. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and drinks. I got the indochine shrimp and chicken with rice and the curry was very tasty. Service was very good. Multiple waiters served our large group. Prices were on the higher side but it was expected given the larger portions. Very nice experience. read more
