I'm not a major fan of most "Best of" lists, especially when it comes to restaurants. My hypocrisy shows when it comes to Brunch. "Best Cheap Bottomless" "Top Brunch in DFW" "Best in Downtown" You name the local publication, I probably made my personal "Must Try" list from it. Brunch is a booming wave and most adults didn't grow up eating it in public restaurants(maybe a few at church). My grandmother loves pizza. She didn't have it until the 1960s, with almost half her life past her. It wasn't a common thing while she was coming up. Just like brunch wasn't for us. So, the "popular" lists help.
But are they biased? Yes! Rarely does a list has brunch spots South, East, or West of Main St in Downtown Dallas. So, those names listed will be the same. Many times the $$-$$$ places dominate the list. Who can drop major money for a three-course brunch all the time? Gone are the days where brunch is thought to be elitist & expensive. Brunch Buffets exists contrary to those popular lists.
My Top 3(watch it become 5) Brunches in the Dallas Area
If I ever tell you to treat yourself, this is an example of what I want you to do. Brunch here is pricier than most, but it is worth it. And don't just have an entrée & a mimosa. Have the starter (Suggestion: Dean's Tortilla Soup) & dessert also. Remember this is a Treat.
In 2020, my brunch-loving friends & I only got to go to brunch once and this was the place. Cute, quaint, & delicious. It even has a mac & cheese that I enjoy. And the Strawberry Mojito Mimosa is refreshing with a kick.
I have brunch-loving friends and come from a brunch-loving family. My cousin Shaun(blog name) picks some good places. She had a birthday brunch here & the Chicken Biscuit Sandwich didn't disappoint. It's fried chicken breast, their Homemade Biscuit with cheddar cheese, sausage gravy & Applewood bacon. Just make plans for your next day to be meatless & full of vegetables.
There was a time when DFW was sprawling with quite a few brunch buffet spots that were tasty. Mattitos is the only one left standing that is still good to me. There are the waffle, omelet, and dessert stations, lots of enchilada options, fruit salad, & a la carte options. Kid-Friendly and it is great for the pockets.
DFW has nice breakfast & brunch spots that are open on the weekdays as well as the weekends. Having brunch on a day off is such fun. But on any day of the week, Ellen's is good. Its menu is all day. Try two of my favorite items, the pancake pot pie & Denver omelet (I talked about them HERE). And order a pitcher of mimosas or poinsettias. There is an entire bottle of champagne in there.
But I'm not a total hypocrite. 3:5 of this list are places people introduced to me and not seen on any publication list. So, in your face Best of Brunch List. I know better than you. LoL. A glass of St. Germaine Brunch Punch would be refreshing now. I gave y'all the recipe in this post right HERE. Let's go have one.
