    Charlie was our waiter who was exceptionally personable, knowledgeable of the menu but most importantly was helpful in disseminating the extensive craft beer menu that was in excess of 40 different types of beer. Great ambience with live music , incredibly great food variety ( Dr Peppers Ribs a must) and a wine list to satisfy any palette. We arrived into Dallas at the tail end of our Round the World trip being the last stop before flying out of DFW back to Australia. Unanimously our party of 4 voted the Meddlesome Moth the best dinner we had whilst in the USA. We would all like to thank Charlie for making a good night great and don’t forget Charlie to look up the Russell Coight dance ( Australian Comedian) for a good laugh. Thanks to all the staff at the Meddlesome Moth for such a great night. Kind regards Rob

    Excellent Thanksgiving meal at MM! Food was exceptional, laid back vibe and attentive service. Very pleased we chose to have our family dinner here. My ONLY request for next year is to please offer pumpkin pie. Your desserts were wonderful but missed that ole traditional pumpkin pie. Thanks for a lovely experience!

    Perfect spot for Thanksgiving brunch this year . Appreciated both the brunch items and traditional special available on menu, and still able to order eggs cooked to order. I’m glad I kept my reservation to go see for myself. I called after making the reservation on Open Table to inquire about the outdoor seating if it was too chilly, and the person I spoke with never indicated that there was a patio that was covered and closed in that might be available. I had only been to MM one time before for happy hour and didn’t know about the outdoor seating. My date and I ended up on the patio and were able to enjoy a nice brunch and drinks. The music was diverse and appropriate and the tables weren’t so close that you felt too close to others. Free valet always nice. It’s clear the food standards are in place. Food was hot, nice size portions and delicious.

    We've greatly enjoyed Thanksgiving lunch at the Moth for several years. The turkey offering is always slightly different with a slight twist on classic dishes. This year the butternut squash was my favorite side. Its a great value and the drinks are always superb. They also offer non-Thanksgiving items as well. Everyone I see in the restaurant is having a wonderful time being well cared for by the restaurant staff.

    I'm an omnivore and my wife is a vegetarian. We came here on Thanksgiving Day because there were options for both of us. Thanksgiving plate was stellar and she liked her brunch dish as well. This might become a Thanksgiving tradition for us.

    Wasn't my first recent brunch at Meddlesome Moth and now have tried 5 different dishes - all were excellent. Because of the road construction in the area right now the restaurant wasn't completely packed. Staff is always great with recommendations based on my tastes. Kitchen was prompt as was the bar. Quality is very high for the reasonable prices and portion size for brunch. I'd definitely go back.

    Was a bit disappointed in my brunch experience. My entree (Sirloin Hash) arrived cold and when I asked it to be heated, it was, but then the eggs that I ordered over-easy, were microwaved and along with the hash, which made the eggs overdone. Service was a bit inattentive, the restaurant was quite dark, which forced us to use the lights on our mobiles to read the menu and sort out the check, and the entire dining room was extremely loud. A thoroughly unremarkable visit.

    The food was so good. Started with the stinky buns and I could have eaten 10-12 of those. I ordered the rustic farmhouse skillet and the one eyed jack. Both were delicious and not a morsel was remaining. Topped everything with a carafe of mimosa. Our waitress Carolina was attentive, offered recommendations, and was very friendly. Hadn’t eaten here in two years and I was just reminded why it was my go to spot.

    Friendly hostess seated us immediately. Our server, Carolina, remembered me from a previous visit and welcomed me back. She really went the extra mile - pointing out new items on the menu and warming my cup before pouring the coffee. Brunch was delicious and served quickly and efficiently. Couldn’t ask for a better experience and will definitely return.
