“This was an amazing experience! The barista was wonderful (wish I’d gotten his name). He was patient while I made my decision and offered great advice on a selection. The coffee, while just black, was amazing in flavor. To my surprise they offer free ice water in both still and sparkling and copper cups to boot! The decor is a fun, shabby-chic and the vibe is welcoming, warm and friendly. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town!“

“THE BEST❣️ We were in Dallas on a business trip & just wanted a restaurant that was open late. WE ALL WERE HAPPILY SURPRISED with the BEST TASTING FOODS cooked to 5 STAR PERFECTION. I had the BERRY PANCAKE TACOS- OMG DELICIOUS👌🏽 I sampled my friend’s SOUTHWEST CHORIZO ROLLS & they were soooo good! We will definitely be eating there again! Friendly & Fast Service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had an excellent time at The Metropolitan on Main. The cocktails were very unique and delicious. The French fries with truffle oil really hit the spot. And the charcuterie board had a little bit of everything:berries, cheeses, meat, bread and fig jam. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were introduced to the owner who is a delight and has a passion for entertaining.“

“Great hospitality and great Ethiopian Coffee“

“Thank you for the surprise lunch! This is the Valet team from the hospital and we just wanted to express our gratitude for the delicious meal. It was such a thoughtful gesture and we truly appreciate it. The food was amazing and we all enjoyed it very much.

Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.“

“Loved it here!! The food was amazing (I got the powerbowl) and drink were great (London fog/one of the green juices)! The service was amazing, the server had such a great vibe and chill energy that truly made the experience. Also always love to support indigenous businesses!“

“We’ve been coming here for years. Just a sweet group of people that work at the cafe. And the coffees are perfect every time.“

“Wonderful spot and lovely staff. Split a savory and a sweet...made for a perfect brunch.

And the prices are more than reasonable, and maybe even too low for the sweet crepes.

First time, but won't be the last.“

“Good food priced just right. Nothing too fancy, very down to earth. Great tasting food with a friendly environment. You will not leave disappointed.“

“Stumbling upon this blue building in Dallas brought a sense of home to this NY girl. Food was so fresh, generous portions, and the coffee as close as it gets to a NY cafe. Top it w/ excellent service!“

“This little joint has been an East Dallas treasure for some time. When you think of mom's home made breakfast. Best describes Gold Rush, from the fluffiest pancakes which IMHO is their clame to fame. I might order a tradional fried egg and bacon breakfast, but bet your bottom dollar it's coming with a short stack of pancakes. As you imagine the tastiest ham slice. remember that they do lunch. fall apart pot roast, hamburgers will not disappoint, chicken fried steak, why not have an omelet for brunch, they'll do it just right. It's not a big place in any way. You get there and you see an empty table go ahead and seat yourself. if there's a short line. you might have to stand between 5 and 8 minutes but everyone in line is cordial. when guests leave their table, grab it, even if it hasn't been cleared off very shortly someone will come by a cleaned your table. while you wait hopefully a member of staff already given you a menu. Be ready when someone takes your order. and the place can be hopping. Give it a shot, I'm sure you will find your visit enjoyable and the food done right.“

“Good food and great service!“

“Great food for a great cause! The pancakes and biscuits were probably the best I’ve ever had. The recipes aren’t groundbreaking but are executed extremely well. Sitting on the back patio was lovely and the staff were very nice. This is a great restaurant with the same group the offers important volunteering opportunities in the area. Supporting local businesses with great a mission is a win-win for everyone.“

“Great good, great atmosphere...will be back“

“I really enjoyed my dinner there. What amazing and beautiful restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious 🤤 and the cocktails too. I felt comfortable like home thanks to the kind people that work there. The decoration it’s always important for me and this restaurant is gorgeous.“

“First you smell delicious food and your tummy starts to grumble. Then you see allllll of the delicious options and your tummy starts to growl. Jess is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING and a true pleasure to meet, all of the staff is fun and friendly and you feel like a regular right away. Everyone eating is happy and the restaurant is extremely clean. Lots of seating and they will help you to your car if you get it to go. Did I tell the portions are huge 😳 yes no complaints this place is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Had weekday breakfast here. Coffee was good- served in individual carafe which may have kept it hot. I only ordered 2 pancakes with a side of bacon. The bacon was very crispy which I like. Pancakes were large and fluffy. Tasted good but not great. I would order again but I’m picky about pancakes and these were somehow a bit too light for my taste. Don’t get me wrong - still good but just not in that top tier. The service was friendly and attentive. I would go back to try other items for sure.“

“One of the best places to hangout in America“

“This restaurant, named for our 43rd American President, is the best kept secret in Dallas. Granted they are only open from 11 AM-2:30 PM Monday through Saturday, so they are really missing out on an opportunity for Sunday brunch. It is located in the same building as the George Bush library to the right of the fountain before the museum entrance and is a lunch spot with a brunch item or two on the menu. It is a truly lovely space with large original paintings on the walls and small sculptures, floor to ceiling windows looking out onto a lovely patio with oversized shutters above to shield patrons from some of the sunlight. The food is excellent and thoughtful. We had a large party, so we ordered a variety of things which all received rave reviews from the fried avocado appetizer, crab salad with freshly snipped chives, chicken fried steak, amazing pecan crusted chicken, omelette, grilled chicken sandwich, grilled cheese for the kids, and outstanding homemade ice creams for dessert. Even the vanilla earned high praise! The service is friendly, attentive, and efficient, and prices are shockingly reasonable for the quality of the experience and the food. Portions are Texas style: generous. It's a wonderful spot to bring out of town guests— even highly particular ones!“

“We go here once a week for a mid-week children's program and have fallen in love with this place! The Tuesday special (hot dog, great quality bun, French fries and drink for under $6. The portion is well worth the price! Amazing to be getting this deal in this day and age. Staff has always been friendly.“

“I have missed experiencing the NM Cafe. I was pleased to see an more elevated experience. The table scape was elegant and contemporary.. New menu items, yum. I had the chicken breast sandwich with coleslaw and pickels. Flavor profile, again yum. Service was excellent.“

“They have really tasty food! I’d been told by my salesman that they just went under new management and previously it wasn’t great with the prior management, but with the new management that they’ve started eating at the cafe again.

Their beef Mexican torta was sooo good! I did get a few tacos and those were delicious also 😋 Their prices were also great now. When I go back for servicing, I’ll be stopping by again!“

“This cafe is a MUST when in the hospital/ near the area. Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to find coffee/food with such good quality and even better pricing. I always stop by here, even if it is just to say hi to their friendly staff. Don’t skip out on this place!“

“Because you don’t care about the health of your customers, you will no longer get my business or any of the people I know.“

“Recently was given above and beyond service by Ryan R. I did not know what to pick and he worked with me on the perfect choice! Will definitely be buying more next time we're traveling! Thank you!“
