    You know where to find my Sunday after church! The staff here is always attentive, professional and in the best mood! The restaurant is clean and friendly but let me tell you the best part: THE CHILAQUILES!! I always order the super chilaquiles with birria (served on the side not on top) and fresas con crema pancake. I love this place! They do have a wait list but on average experience I can say it goes faster then the time they tell you when you check in. The kitchen here is fast! Don't be surprised your food comes out to the table quickly, I can assure you this does not impact quality. I am very impressed and will continue to frequent them to try out other pancakes. Great job, J.J.'s cafe!

    Real good verde chilaques. And the flower is edible too - the best flower I've had up to date (I'm not going in public and eating flowers!) crunchy with some flavor when you broke down the petals in your mouth. Sauce was sublime and the right viscosity for the rest of the dish. I was really impressed here - they are spot on with the texture. Right amount of flavor and spice - same for the chipotle version which I sampled from my friend I got the verde chilaquiles with sunny side up, refried beans and a flight of sangria. Staff was super friendly and attentive!

    Came here with my sister, she loves checking out different food places when she comes home. She heard about this place in Instagram. I go a simple breakfast with a few pieces of bacon and a stack of blue berry pancakes. There wasn't anything breathtaking, pretty straightforward breakfast. The location was very busy on a Sunday morning so the people in the surrounding area really like it. If you're nearby and want breakfast, check it out.

    Mexican Scramble
    Marianne C.

    Went here for brunch with some friends. We all lived nowhere near this spot but somehow ended here. They have regular American and Mexican breakfast/lunch option. I opted for their Mexican scramble which came a choice of tortillas or toast then topped with slices of avocado. It was flavorful and very well could make two decent dice breakfast burrito. Service was efficient, and fast. Our food came out pipping hot and fresh looking. The space shared a room from a banquet hall which I think they rent for bigger events. The two rooms can be combined or split with a barn like sliding door in the middle of a big space. This place is an option for brunch if you are in the area.

    This place is an excellent breakfast spot, especially coming from Maryland. I love the food we had and the quality of service. Parking was easy, and the restaurant was spacious and clean. The bathroom was also clean. The service was fast, and all the servers were attentive. All the food we ordered tasted really good! Overall, this place is a must-visit.

    Dry old steak

    We came here after seeing them in instagram the last few months. It was a disappointing experience as most of the food was not good. We ordered two chilaquiles one with chicken and one with steak. The steak was gross. Felt days old and the chicken was really dry. Everything else just tasted bland or subpar. The churro pancakes itself were really good, but the churro pieces they put on top were also very old and inedible. Overall would not recommend will never return. Gave an extra star because our server was really kind.

    Went for pancakes, left beyond satisfied. JJ's is very spacious and has some very delicious food. No wait time, menu very straightforward I can see myself going here a lot for a quick breakfast.

    My search for the best chilaquiles in Dallas is now complete! JJ's delivers with excellent flavor, perfectly cooked food and exceptional service. I will go back soon!

    Not good for large parties 10+ We had a reservation for 13 ppl at 11 am. Reservation means To secure a guaranteed table in advance, typically to avoid long wait times and manage busy hours. Ambiance was loud and busy since it was a Sunday morning Our whole party was on time and they won't seat incomplete parties. We waited additional 45 min to get seated. The server seem flustered and annoyed with large parties, he took our drink order , left and upon arrival we gave him our order as we were ready to order and eat. I understand large parties take long but food came out decent time in parts of course but the expo , lady refilling coffee were super nice to us. We brought our own cake to cut but we didn't feel welcomed so we decided to hurry eat and go home. Food was okay I enjoyed my pancakes over my entree but definitely not a place for large parties. Anything under 5-6 people will get sat faster and better service.

    Chicken Fajita Omelette

    Staff were helpful Food was okay the chicken tasted like can chicken Inside of the place was okay maybe a little older.

    Caramel macchiato
    Ailynn A.

    The wait time for two people on a Sunday was ~20min. We were sat at 12:55 and left the restaurant at 2:11. We felt the food took a while to come out, and so did the check once we asked to pay. I ordered the caramel macchiato which was basically diabetes in a cup. I couldn't drink even half of it. My boyfriend had asked for water as a refill and was brought back another horchata which was not free and not communicated. The food was ok. I ordered the red chilaquiles with birria. The meat portion wasn't enough, and the sauce was not a level 3 spice. Seemed more like a level 1 to me. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, which were not flavordu We shared a plate of the tres leches pancakes, but they were a bit dry. No syrup was provided and frankly, we didn't want to wait another 5min for them to bring that by. I wouldn't come back in all honesty. I was extremely disappointed to have paid $61 for an experience that felt inconvenient.

    Tres Leches Pancakes
    Sara N.

    Came here on Mother's Day so they were busy but we made reservations and waited maybe 20 minutes to be seated. The staff were nice and checked up on us. Our food came out warm/cooled down but the waffle n chicken was good still. The tres leches pancake was the highlight!!

    Chicken and Waffles
    Raquel M.

    This place was busy early! We got there around 8:30am on Sunday. It was very roomy. I enjoyed the attentive service. I would not get the chorizo and egg again, just wasn't flavorful. The beans were very good! And the potatoes obrian was more onions & bell pepper than potatoes. The chicken& waffles were AMAZING! we really enjoyed the waffles. Also got a side of bacon & eggs, sooo delicious

We ordered the 32 bone in wings combo that comes with curly fries and your chose of dipping sauce.

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.

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.
