Greetings Brunchlusters! This week’s review is all about chicken. Whistle Britches not only specializes in it, but they do it EXTREMELY well. Located in North Dallas, it’s hard to believe that Whistle Britches used to be a Sonic Drive In when you walk in the place. The décor in this bright and airy place gives you a modern retro feel, with a huge patio. It was a little chilly out so we opted to stay indoors, however sitting near the open doors to the patio gave us just enough

Brunchlusters, if you know like we know, brunch isn’t just a meal. It’s a lifestyle. Especially in Dallas. The city’s collective love for all things brunch was the inspiration that brought together hundreds of attendees to ‘The Morning After, a Dallas Observer Brunch Event’ last weekend. The sold out, inaugural event held at Dallas Farmers Market was billed as ‘a Brunch Sampling event that will feature bites from local brunch hot spots, alongside drink samples & music’. This

Sunday Funday brunching is a big part of life here in Texas and as such there is often a need for brunch locations that can handle big groups of people. It's not only about the size of the building; it's also about the service quality and speed of the kitchen staff that can make or break a large brunch parties' day. I'm glad to say that The Eberhard can handle your group brunching needs. The Eberhard is located in the highly walkable Knox-Henderson area of Dallas. With a numb

Events that revolve around the concept of brunch and brunch related items (like mimosas!) are automatically going to grab my attention. After all, I AM Brunchlust. And I also am a fan of the Deep Ellum area of Dallas. FUN FACT: Did you know that Deep Ellum was first named Deep Elm? Because of the deep southern drawl of Texans, Elm ended up sounding like "ell'um" so hence the name was officially changed. That's why you'll see signs or graffiti in the area with "Deep Elm" on it

Despite all of the new and hot brunch spots in Dallas that we like to review for you, there are certain spots that we hold near and dear to our hearts. They aren't the newest, they aren't the trendiest, but they are consistent and having brunch there is always a solid call. One of the spots that we think of in such a way is British Beverage Company in Uptown. BBC is set up like a British pub. Dark wood is everywhere, from the booths to the tables to the floor, and the walls.

You know what I love about the brunch movement? Some of my favorite spots have embraced brunch and it allows me another chance to digest each spot in a new way. Such is the case with Cedars Social in Dallas. Located next to the SouthSide Lamar building, Cedars Social has been a hip bar that is popular with locals and a great spot to take visiting out-of-towners. If you are graced with visiting when the weather is pleasant, the outdoor patio with bench seating and a large fire

Hello Brunchlusters! Before we launched the blog, we have done a lot of brunches at a lot of places. One that keeps receiving Brunchlust’s attention is Nickel and Rye. With a fabulous patio located right on McKinney Avenue in Uptown Dallas, Nickel is not only a great place for brunch. It’s also a great place for people watching! I probably visit Nickel at least once per month. Between their great food, service/staff (they seriously rock) and location, Nickel is a solid stando

Dive bars are always an interesting experience for me. Often times they have great drink specials and an atmosphere that's unique. It's a great place to meet up with people for unpretentious drinking or make new friends with colorful characters. Well now you can add "have a great brunch" to that list with Ivy Tavern. With the help of Celebrity Chef Patrick Stark and Chef David Rodriguez, you can flip the script on your Sunday Funday plans and kick back at the Tavern. Set up b

Hash House a Go Go is one of those restaurants that is always mentioned as a must do. So Brunchlust did. With its original location in San Diego, the restaurant now has locations in Chicago, Connecticut, Orlando and Las Vegas. The opening of the Dallas area location in Plano was packed with a 2-hour wait a few months ago. So after the initial excitement wore down, we arrived at the restaurant on a Saturday to a 15-minute wait. One of the things that I noticed about this place

When choosing a brunch spot, I usually pick based off of drink specials, first and foremost. Then I'll consider food. But when I feel like having a fancy brunch experience, Q De Cheval is my top choice. Located in the Intercontinental Hotel in Addison, TX, Q De Cheval is upscale brunch at it's finest. Crisp white linens. Delicate white china. A lavish buffet filled with steak, salmon, and lobster. A harp player for atmosphere. It's great. Q De Cheval has their own staples: om
