In Dallas, brunch is a contact sport that ends in clinking glasses and the finest preparation of eggs, pancakes, and pastries. This is why it’s essential to know exactly where to find French toast worth going to the mats for, crispy bacon worth waiting for, and the strongest mimosas one can find to block out the memory of how long it took to get a table.

This city is littered with excellent brunch options, but these options are worth putting on the bucket list.

Head to Jonathon’s in Oak Cliff or North Dallas for an indulgent brunch option with a diner vibe. The weekend brunch menu hits a lot of notes, including typical brunch items such as waffles, egg platters, and salads. It also has a few outliers, like its brunch kabobs and Danger Dogs (a hot dog like dish made with pancakes). Good for those who are down to make brunch a little freaky.

Patrick Kennedy's Irish Pub

Some days an Irish breakfast will cure what ails you. Eggs, sausage, hash, toast, bacon — basically everything they can think to put on the plate. Pair it with a Guinness instead of a mimosa and bam — Irish brunch. Or go hardcore and dive in on a Scotch egg. Why not.
