City Editor Elizabeth here. OpenTable has released its 2025 list of Top 100 Brunch Restaurants, but here’s the kicker — Fort Worth doesn’t appear on it. Three Dallas restaurants made the rankings, such as Al Biernet’s, Pacific Cafe, and Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill.
I get it — Dallas has some great food options. We love our friends over at DALtoday, but here at FTWtoday, there’s a special place in our hearts for our brunch restaurants. Here are three of my no-frill favorites + exactly what I order.
Daybreak Cafe & Grill | 2720 White Settlement Rd.
It’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Just how quickly this little joint fills up is a testament to its great service. Here’s what I order: two chorizo and egg breakfast tacos + a hot black coffee.
Bluebonnet Cafe | 2223 Haltom Rd.
A family favorite. If you see me here, then it’s either around the holidays or I’ve got family in town. Here’s what I order: the bluebonnet breakfast + a sticky bun.
Shaw’s Patio Bar & Grill | 1051 W. Magnolia Ave.
Shaw’s is one of my old haunts, seeing as I used to live two blocks away. I’d walk there almost every weekend. Here’s what I order: the migas + 2-3 mimosas.
