Comfort Food Restaurants near Irving, TX

“$25 16oz ribeye on Thursday and $11 8oz sirloin on Monday!“

“Today we had Sunday lunch at Cheddars with my daughter and son-in-law. The food was just so, so. However, our waitress, Lauren, was so sweet, smiled with her eyes. And very informative when we asked questions. Cheddar's needs to keep a personable waitress such as Lauren.“

“great place to enjoy great food and bring your fur baby!“

“I came for the convenience, but I stayed for the vibes—and the Impossible Burger. Let’s be real, hotel restaurants usually feel like a reluctant obligation. But Noell JCT? This place understood the assignment. The staff was so friendly and helpful they practically saved me from myself (thank you for stopping me from ordering the beet salad when I clearly wanted the burger).

The salads are so fresh and crunchy they sound like a car driving over gravel—just the way a salad should. And that Impossible Burger? I don’t know what kind of wizardry is happening in the kitchen, but I’d come back just for that.

The staff deserves an award for their perfect balance of efficiency and good vibes. I found myself looking forward to seeing them tomorrow, which is honestly more than I can say for some of my relatives.

Noell JCT: redefining the hotel restaurant game, one fresh salad and life-saving menu correction at a time.“

“Highly recommend you try the seared tuna, it's appropriately priced and large portions. Great value! Also, uhm, they do live music regularly. I believe they also have some gluten free options. If you're looking for some savory treats, cool drinks, and groovy tunes, I highly recommend you give this place a try. A great spot in the Oak Lawn Strip gayborhood!“

“The roasted chicken was flavorful and fell off the bone. Everything was delicious: chicken, buttered biscuit, collards, fresh mashed potatoes and gravy. So delicious😛.“

“This place is outstanding! My family eats here a couple of times a week. Delicious, high-quality food, exceptionally fast service, and in a clean modern family oriented design. Pizza is super tasty, dishes are all great (try chicken pot pie), and kids love the chicken fingers and fries. Bravo!“

“$6 per breakfast taco with everything on it. Tastes homemade. They make the taco fresh right in front of you. Customizable. Restaurant is bare bones, but it's all you really need for a morning breakfast to go. They have a much more limited menu now. Just basic breakfast. Really nice people. No tables or seats.“

“Lisa is an angel! She knows her business and also has the best crew! Saved the day for our daughter’s wedding after being canceled by another vendor 2 days prior to her wedding. Thank you Lisa and the Entire City Kitchen Staff!“

“First time here. Recommended by a friend so we met for drinks at the bar. Large bar with plenty of seating. It quickly became obvious that there were lots of regulars.
Service - Very good service for the one bartender that was taking care of the bar and tables alike. One legged woman in an ass kicking contest, but she was very friendly, very quick, and very efficient. Good personality and knew many customers by name.
Food - Did not eat this time, but my friend said that the grilled oysters are outstanding. From the dishes that I saw, portions looked large.
Atmosphere - Got really loud a couple of times, but understandable since we were in the bar. Standard bar scene with plenty of TVs and some games. Was able to watch some World Cup while we were catching up.
Overall - Nice dive bar with a lot to offer. Plenty of beers on tap and a full service bar. It is a smoking establishment, but has good ventilation. Will definitely be back to try the oysters and hang at the bar.“

“Muy buena la comida y todo pero muy mal servicio al cliente solo en el televisor se la paso“

“I usually order for pickup. My first impression of this place was that it wasn't kind of place I expected (it's in a strange neighborhood). But my food is always hot and fresh, and I'm usually in and out within seconds.

Trip's special is the fried fish, mac, slaw, and a drink. Fish is legit; seasoned well, crispy coating, moist and delicious. Gotta have it with the tartar. Mac is nice and cheesy with good texture. I usually don't like slaw, but Lisa's slaw is sweet, delicious, and really helps to cut down the grease. Recommend throwing in some hushpuppies too.

Chicken is pretty good most of the time, it stays crispy, tender, and juicy for a while. Not mind-blowing delicious, but homestyle and very good for the value you get out of this place. Would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap, filling, satiating meal. Hits different when you're on the drive home and you're too lazy to chef up.“

“Overall, I had a great experience at Cheddar’s. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was relaxed, clean, and perfect for a casual meal.

The complimentary croissants were absolutely delicious—warm, buttery, and definitely one of the highlights of the visit. The only downside was the spinach dip, which tasted like it had been sitting a little too long and wasn’t as fresh as I expected. Other than that, everything was enjoyable, and I’d definitely come back for the great service, inviting atmosphere, and those amazing croissants.“
