Cabbage roll special
Victoria E.

While down in the hospital district had to stop by for lunch. Great diner ambiance and wait staff. Small can be crowded and noisy but delicious home cooking. They serve breakfast all day and we were tempted but my friend came for their liver & onions, with spinach & macaroni & cheese. She enjoyed every bite along with the brown gravy it came with. I went with one of the lunch specials a smaller portion for $12.95. A giant Cabbage roll stuffed with rice and pork and covered in a creole sauce with one side fried okra. Food was great and so much I had plenty for another meal. Also rolls and cornbread.

#3 - delish!
Kristy S.

Loved it! My friend and I sat at the breakfast bar and really enjoyed it. The food was delivered hot and fast, and was delish. It was fun to dine at the counter and watch the entire "machine" in action. I especially loved their B&G and hash browns. So so delish! Will definitely return!

This was a cute old-fashioned diner, and our waiter was very kind, but the food was very underwhelming. It was in need of major seasoning. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and jt tasted like the patty was unsalted. The other guests with me said their food was also just ok. A better diner option is maple leaf diner in carrolton.

Service was really great and food came out fast! My lemon with tea was pretty funny but I enjoy lots of lemon juice so I didn't mind too much. My apple pancakes were so delicious and filled me up completely! My friend's food was also good according to them

The best chocolate shake in dallas

The best breakfast diner in Dallas!!! The service and food is always consistently and exceptionally excellent. Their coffee is great! The shakes are incredible! Eggs and beef are always cooked as requested. The menu offers a large selection of options for breakfast as well as lunch. Highly recommend. We absolutely love this place!

Pecan, Applle Or Blueberry Waffle
Sanjna B.

We had an excellent brunch here on July 4th! It was packed, but we got seated after a 15 min wait and service was great despite how busy it was. I also love all the sauces, syrups, and jams at each table. We got the blueberry waffle, and I loved the waffle but did not like the blueberry sauce, I wish it had real blueberries instead. I loved the biscuits-they were buttery and soft. I also liked the Ranchero omelete, but wish the salsa had more flavor. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy! Overall, we had an excellent meal here.

Great, classic diner. Felt like a hole in the wall restaurant. The food was delicious, and service was friendly and inviting. I got the eggs Benedict which was delicious.

Take a step back in time to the early 1950's at the Original Market Diner. While the decor fits the era this place was built and adds to the ambiance of the place, the prices are far from those of the 1950's. Example, just under $17.00 for an omelette! The food was just ok, not great and certainly not bad. I ordered a Ham & Cheese Omelette that came with Hash Browns and Biscuits and Gravy. We also tried the Pancakes. I enjoyed the light and fluffy biscuits and the hashed browns the most. My grandma used to say "some pancakes need a little more syrup than others". These were pancakes that needed extra syrup! The service was great, absolutely nothing to be critical or uncomplimentary there about. Our server Laura was fantastic.

Jalapeño cheese burger
Ivan J.

We came here after day one of martial arts state finals. It was right next to our hotel. Figured why not? Overall our experience was great. First the place felt like a part out of a horror film. Not a typical classic diner, but a dark classic diner. Like twilight zone. I don't know, that's what the midget said? I thought it was cool. A little rough, but it kinda was cool. Ok onto the food. The service was ok. I think it's because we went right before they closed, and we felt a bit rushed. We kept it simple, and just had burgers and the jalapeño mozzarella sticks. Let's start with the appetizer. They were actually good. They mixed the jalapeño flavor into the breading. You can see the jalapeño on the outside of the sticks! Great idea and it works! Wish they were actually spicy. Still good! He had the bacon cheeseburger, and I had the jalapeño cheeseburger. The buns were great, the beef could've used more seasoning. They give you tons of fries! Where they were creative with the mozzarella sticks, my jalapeño burger was just a burger with pickled Jalapeño slices from a can thrown on top. Not creative at all, and a little disappointing. Like a reach to charge more. We had dessert, hard not too when you are sitting next to the case. We asked for a recommendation and were told carrot cake and banana cream pie. They were both great, but the carrot cake was by far better. Not too sweet, not too much carrot. Just right. The other pie was just ok. Also, a HUGE plus is they had stevia at the table! I wish more restaurants had it! We will come back when we are back, to try more of the menu!

Ham & cheese omelette with crispy hash browns and biscuits and gravy.

Cute little diner. The food was delicious and cooked the way I ordered it. The portion size was more than I could eat and price wasn't bad. Service was great. Food came out quickly and hot.

Dining area

Local classic, I've lived within walking distance of this diner for the longest time, but only recently ventured in. Walking in, you feel the classic diner vibe. A mix of booths, tables, and the kitchen side bar. Low indoor lighting but plenty of windows allowing natural light in. The location has plenty of foot traffic but no wait. There's a melodic comfort hearing the kitchen, and others conversing. It's an inviting place. My waitress was very attentive and friendly. She was quick to bring me my water and coffee, not long after taking my order. I ordered the classic eggs with sausage, hashbrowns, and biscuits & gravy. The food arrived fresh with my eggs cooked to perfection. The sausage was a little dry but still delicious. The biscuits were fresh and the perfect sponge to soak up the yolks. The food was as you'd expect from a diner hitting the spot after a long night out. I'm eager to come back and try some of their other options. Highly recommend!

Chicken and dumplings
Randy V.

For the meatloaf sandwich with fries and my wife got the chicken dumplings. My sandwich had a very good taste and my fries were perfectly hot and crispy. The chicken dumpling was flavorful for a dumpling. The chicken and dumpling came with corn bread and yeast rolls. The corn bread was a little dry but the yeast rolls were on point. The ambiance reminded me of a 1950's dinner. The waitress made sure that we never ran out of tea. Only complaint was that I got full before I had a chance to get some of the pie in the case. Maybe next time.

After waters were delivered, our drink order wasn't taken for at least 15-20 minutes after getting there. We placed our drink order and then waited, and waited, and waited for our first round of drinks to come. At one point I made the joke that I should be on my second drink by now(this turned into a joke about how I should be on my third). When the drinks finally came, everyone but mine was delivered, the waitress said that she was running back up to grab mine. She came back with my drink 10 minutes later. At this point we just placed our orders for food and I decided to place my next drink order at this point to help with the wait time. The waitress came back with the appetizer and I actually placed another drink order as well before my second drink came because I wanted to stay ahead of the game. 2nd and 3rd drinks actually came at a reasonable time and I started feeling like the night was turning around. Spoiler Alert: It wasn't. Entrees were delivered and surprise surprise, the food that was ordered with mine was delivered but mine was not. Waited for another long period of time and then my food was delivered. Was an apology of any sort ever given, no. Our waitress came to check back on the table very sparingly to the point we were waiting to place a dessert order so long we decided to take it to go. Ordered the monkey bread, got back to eat it and all the dough was raw. $200 bill between food and drinks for my wife and I and an appetizer for the table(there were others and other bills as well), still tipped 20% but there I would never recommend this restaurant for the service or the food. Great atmosphere great views. Service doesn't match the vibe.

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5. Loved the decor near the restrooms and patio too.

I don't think Harwood Arms was prepared for how many people were going to show up- it seemed completely disorganized, chaotic, and just ridiculous. We were sitting down at one of the tables outside in the alley area and the walkway was clear- at first. After the game had actually started, I guess they just let everyone in and the entire walkway was PACKED with people to the point that our once clear view of the TV, was gone in an instant. As the night progressed, obviously a girl has to pee, so as I was walking into the actual restaurant/ pub to use the bathroom and I guess the "bouncer" stuck his arm between me and the door and dismissively said I couldn't go in. Excuse me? After telling him I literally have a table outside, he yanks at his collar and speaks into his little walkie talkie asking if there's a table of 4 outside under my name. Sorry, I didn't know I was watching the Mexico game at the freakin White House surrounded by Secret Agents. Give me a break. So when he magically confirms I have a table (because I do), he lifts up his arm and gives me the ALL CLEAR! It's actually funny looking back at it. But give me a break. When going back outside to sit at my table, the same bouncer/ Secret Agent/ FBI dude gives attitude to my boyfriend and myself for the commotion caused earlier. The actual police officer next to him told us it's ok and to just have a good time. The only nice thing someone said to us and he doesn't even work at Harwood Arms lol. To management, if you do not want people "off the street" to go in and out of your pub or inside to use your bathrooms, then I don't know- maybe come up with a wristband method so your paying customers can smoothly go in and out to use your bathrooms? Just a thought. OR just don't be unwelcoming to people that are actively spending money at your pub. Harwood Arms was NOT prepared at all for the high velocity of people coming in to watch the FIFA games. Quite frankly, it was a MESS. I did visit Bar W a few days after that and had a MUCH BETTER experience-- go there instead.
