La Calle Doce

$$$$

Seafood

Oak Cliff / Bishop Arts

4.8

281 reviews

Known to locals as “The Home of Mexican Seafood,” La Calle Doce brings the culture and cuisine of Coastal Mexico smack dab to the middle of Dallas. The white trim and outdoor patio makes this restaurant look like it belongs on the shoreline somewhere, but the mariachi music and walls featuring various “best of Dallas” awards reminds everyone where they are. The Tacos de Pescado and Fajita Salad are Mexican staples, but the Pescado a la Parilla and Tostadas de Ceviche are signature offerings that make this undeniably some of the best breakfast in Dallas.

The Heritage Table

$$$$

American

Frisco

4.8

791 reviews

This beautiful two-story house with the “Heritage Table” sign out front is hard to miss, but out-of-towners might not realize that it’s one of the city’s most popular eateries. It’s inside a 1917 converted Victorian home, but the offerings are anything but dated. The employees focus on a service culture, and staying true to that drive, everything is homemade. Those who show up for brunch are treated to classics like eggs benedict and buttermilk pancakes, but they can also try out new favorites like buttermilk beignets and avocado toast.

Whistle Britches - Dallas

$$$$

American

Addison

4.6

602 reviews

Whether it’s the giant rooster head on the window, colorful patio seating, or the large corrugated wall bearing its name, the Whistle Britches grabs everyone’s attention as they drive by. This eatery was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, but locals already knew it was special almost immediately upon its opening in 2016. Everything on the menu is farm fresh, with made-from-scratch biscuits baked throughout the day. Specialty options like the Mother Clucker sandwich and Chorizo Hash, along with the classics like buttermilk pancakes and Homestead Mill grits, combine to hold this restaurant's place as some of the best breakfast in Dallas.

St Martin's Wine Bistro

$$$$

French

Knox / Henderson

4.9

2263 reviews

Shakespeare’s Juliet once asked, “What’s in a name?” St. Martin’s Wine Bistro is evidence that this uncertainty still applies today. While they may have one of the best wine selections in the area, they’ve also been labeled the city's best French cuisine and one of the most romantic restaurants. The chandelier lighting, vast expanse of wine racks, and avant-garde decor are no doubt impressive, but becoming one of the best breakfast options in Dallas stems directly from the brunch menu. There are omelets, crepes, French toast, and more breakfast staples to choose from. For those feeling especially frisky, though, the beef bourguignon and St. Martin Chicken both go great with an early bloody mary.

940's Kitchen & Cocktails

$$$$

Contemporary American

Denton

4.4

594 reviews

The art, seating, menus, and even walls scream contemporary in the hip and modern 940’s Kitchen & Cocktails. It’s one of the few restaurants around that began serving vegetarian and vegan options right out of the box, rather than waiting for it to be “cool.” Fortunately, there’s plenty on the menu for meat lovers as well. Everything is as locally sourced as possible, but their inspiration comes all the way from Mexico City. Brunch options include smoked salmon bene, shrimp & grits, short rib grilled cheese, and the W. Oak Pepper Bloody Mary.

Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey - Southlake

$$$$

American

Southlake

4.8

1147 reviews

The wide open floor plan at Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey in Southlake is perfect for the oversized booths and spacious bar, but those who like to take in the Texas sun might prefer the outdoor patio. The family-owned eatery has been around since 2009, and they’ve maintained their hickory- and oak-burning grill to ensure patrons get a taste that’s unique to the establishment. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday. Go enjoy local favorites such as the Hanger and Eggs, Smoked Salmon Cake Benedict, and brunch skillet.

Culpepper Steak House

$$$$

Steakhouse

Rockwall

4.6

1093 reviews

When someone thinks of the best breakfast in Dallas, a steakhouse likely isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Culpepper Steak House blows this assumption out of the water. The eatery offers a filling Texas Scramble, a high-class lobster omelet, and the favorite of cowboys everywhere — steak & eggs. Other favorites include Golden French Toast and the Southwest Benedict. They’ve been wowing their guests for over 30 years, and the taxidermy animals, cattle hides, and live music make this a distinctly Texan experience.

Mignon - Prime Steaks, Seafood and Cocktails

$$$$

Steakhouse

Plano

4.6

1931 reviews

Even people who aren’t looking for Mignon can’t help but notice the eatery. Situated adjacent to a pond and fountain — along with a gorgeous brick bridge — this establishment aims to transport patrons right to Paris. The interior decor also takes this effort very seriously. They offer a huge wine selection and happy hour specials, but that’s not what places them among the best breakfast in Dallas. Blueberry waffles? Chicken fried steak filet mignon? Seafood crepes? Fried oyster eggs benedict? They’re all offered at Mignon, so this is one dining experience that cannot be missed.

Prime Farm to Table

$$$$

Contemporary American

Flower Mound

4.6

949 reviews

The New American cuisine offered at Prime Farm to Table has kept guests smiling over the years. Of course, the smiles could also have something to do with the fact that the eatery lives up to its name. They source locally whenever possible and build real relationships with Texas farmers. Black shelves, tile and brick walls, flower arrangements, and wine room tours where cured meats hang high are just part of what creates the unique ambiance here. There’s a daily menu — including brunch — and the Stuffed French Toast, B.E.L.T. Sandwich, and Sautéed Tofu & Vegetables go a long way in providing some of the best breakfast in Dallas.

Ziziki's - Travis Walk

$$$$

Greek

Knox / Henderson

4.8

1336 reviews

Ziziki's has been a Texas staple since 1994, so it's no surprise they've had time to perfect some of the best breakfast in Dallas. Brunch is only available on Sundays, but the complimentary mimosas and all-you-can-eat buffet -- featuring lamb, smoked salmon, buttermilk pancakes, and more -- is well worth the wait.
