Bacon and biscuits and bubbles, oh my! COVID-19 concerns haven’t stopped North Texans from craving their favorite weekend meal ― brunch. As a response, many restaurants have adjusted so you can have your pancake and eat it, too ― at home. Even though dining rooms having been allowed to open, and will be expanding to 50 percent occupancy on May 22, takeout business is still soaring at many favorite spots.
Jonathon’s Diner
One of Dallas’ best-known spots for breakfast/brunch has made a few changes due to COVID-19. While the original Jonathon’s Oak Cliff location is closed, Jonathon’s Diner ― which is just down the street ― is open and taking to-go orders. If you’re looking to dine-in, parties of four or less are allowed, and you must wear a mask.
1619 N. Beckley Ave. For hours, visit: jonathonsoakcliff.com.
Meddlesome Moth
Another Dallas brunch staple that’s open for dine-in but still honoring take-out is Meddlesome Moth. In addition to favorites like the Mother and Child Reunion ― buttermilk fried chicken, jalapeño gravy, grits and scrambled eggs ― Meddlesome Moth is offering meal kits, giving you the option of baking those addictive sticky buns at home.
1621 Oak Lawn Ave. For hours, visit: shop.mothinthe.net.
Snooze A.M. Eatery
With Addison being the only Dallas-area location open, Snooze A.M. Eatery is bringing brunch favorites to those in need of a fix. While the restaurant is open for dine-in ― and accepting parties of six or less ― they are still honoring take-out and third party delivery. Snooze’s full menu remains, however there are some items not being offered due to sourcing constraints.
5100 Belt Line Road, Suite 824 Addison. For hours, visit: snoozeeatery.com.
Ida Claire
Another Addison hotspot ― Ida Claire ― is making brunch to-go an easy choice for customers. Ida’s Full Table Brunch Kit ($45) comes with biscuits and gravy, eggs (uncooked), waffles, chicken tenders, ham, potato hash, fruit and OJ ― available Saturday and Sunday only. Diners still have the option of ordering menu staples like crawfish corn beignets and shrimp and grits for take-out or dine-in.

Streets Fine Chicken
Good any day of the week, savory fried chicken hits the soul a little different on the weekend, especially when paired with bubbles. In addition to fried bird, Streets is offering breakfast biscuits, specials like cinnamon bread pudding French toast, and mimosa kits. Though opting out of dine-in for now, takeout and third-party delivery is an option at both locations.

Biscuit Bar
Just recently opening their fourth location in Arlington, The Biscuit Bar is providing guests with an array of southern handhelds all over the metroplex. Options including the bacon, egg and cheese, buffalo bleu cheese, and hot hot chicken biscuit are available via delivery and to-go as well as dine-in.

Ellen’s
The all-day-every-day West End brunch spot is offering their full menu to customers with the option of delivery or to-go during the pandemic. Though their hours have changed, items like grits Benedict, egg tacos, and the pancake pot pie ― with sweet maple cream sausage gravy, hickory bacon, sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs and cheese ― have not.
