Dallas has always taken weekend brunch seriously, but now it’s official. OpenTable just released its 2026 rankings for the Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in America, and four of our very own local legends have secured a spot on the prestigious list.
Culled from over 14 million diner reviews, these spots aren’t just “good”—they are the national gold standard for mimosas, Benedicts, and vibes.
Al Biernat’s
It’s a Dallas institution for a reason. While the steaks are world-class, the brunch is a masterclass in luxury. Pro tip: Don’t skip the Lobster Benedict or their signature Coconut Cream Pie.
📍4217 Oak Lawn Ave
📍5251 Spring Valley Rd.
Cafe Pacific
Tucked away in Highland Park Village, this spot offers a sophisticated, “old-school Dallas” atmosphere. It’s the perfect place for a high-end celebration where the service is as impeccable as the Smoked Salmon.
📍24 Highland Park Village
Hudson House
Famous for their “World’s Coldest Martinis,” this East Coast-inspired spot has mastered the casual-yet-chic brunch. Their Oysters and Velvet Chicken & Waffles are the talk of the neighborhood.
📍4448 Lovers Ln
Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille
Looking for brunch with a view? Located right by Klyde Warren Park, Perry’s offers a massive, indulgent menu that proves steak and eggs are better when the steak is a prime cut. Earlier this year, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille was named one of the most romantic restaurants in the U.S.
📍2100 Olive St Suite #100
