The best places for breakfast in Dallas
How do these rankings work?
1. Benny’s Bagels
They make authentic New York style bagels, made with the freshest, most natural ingredients. That means they boil the bagels until the dough is soft and shapeable, then seed or prepare each bagel individually by hand.
The bagels taste so good that you could easily eat them plain, but their toppings really set them apart. The smoked salmon and cream cheese version is the stuff of absolute legend.
2. Yolk – One Arts Plaza
A small and intimate chain where they are super passionate about serving up one of the best breakfasts you could ever wish for. Their menu is packed full of the classics and everything is cooked and served to perfection.
From quality pancake stacked to french toast and every type of egg dish you could wish for, this is a place that has it all. The great coffee they serve is the added bonus.
3. Maple Leaf Diner
Maple Leaf Diner opens at 7am daily and serve one of the truly great Dallas breakfast menus. There is plenty of choice, but their pancakes served with maple syrup is so good that you would be licking the plate if you could get away with it.
If waffles are your thing they also have some seriously tasty options on the menu.
4. Bread Winners Café & Bakery
A huge expansive menu that features many of their own homebaked goods and treats for you to sample. They have a good balance of healthy dishes as well as treats, should you fancy a bit of a cheat meal.
Their portions are on the large side so you will want to make sure you come with an appetite.
5. Original Market Diner
This has been a food outlet since way back in 1954 when it first opened as a drive through diner. What makes the place so special is the staff, who instantly make you feel at home.
Their menu is extensive with pretty much every breakfast dish you could ever ask for covered. The Mexican breakfast burrito is really worth a look.
6. Deli News N.Y. Style Deli Restaurant
Their giant menu is loaded with authentic Russian-Jewish favourites such as latkes, kugels and motza ball soup, plus hybrids such as challah-bread French toast.
They’ve been in business for over 22 years; when you see the line that is often outside here that tells you all you need to know. Big portions, quick service and a huge amount of choice mean you’ll always leave here a happy customer.
7. Lucky’s Cafe
The menu redefines traditional diner food by including locally sourced, farm fresh ingredients. They serve their breakfast all day long which is a big attraction to their many loyal and happy customers.
One dish that you simply have to try are their breakfast enchiladas, which are the best way you could ever dream of starting the day. Superb.
