Eclectic comfort-food with Southern slant; mimosas & turkey meals
"Celebrating its 30th anniversary as a Dallas brunch institution, this Uptown eatery occupies a century-old, characterful building whose haphazard charm keeps regulars coming back. Weekends are competitive for patio tables as diners flock for mimosas and classic plates like eggs Benedict, waffles and the particularly popular chicken and waffles. Founded and run for nearly three decades by Jim and Cindy Hughes until a 2022 sale to Josh Bock, the operation now emphasizes longtime staff and bakers as the core of its appeal—something the current COO says explains more about its longevity than the menu alone. Recent changes include technology upgrades, an expanded slate of “healthy” options and the removal of complimentary bread (patrons often still add a pastry plate for $1.75), while anniversary promotions and plans to expand beyond Dallas into Allen and Southlake signal growth; the overall vibe blends upscale dining with a casual, friendly atmosphere across multiple locations." - Courtney E.

"This July, Bread Winners celebrates it’s 30th anniversary as a Dallas dining destination and a true brunch legend. This is the OG of Dallas brunches, go in and order everything and a second round of mimosas." - Courtney E. Smith
"Looking for a classic Thanksgiving package? Order the whole oven-roasted turkey meal here. The meal includes pecan cornbread stuffing, leek mashed potatoes, sage turkey gravy, cranberry orange sauce, and two pull-apart rolls per person with the option for white or whole grain. It feeds six to eight for $168 and Breadwinners requires 72-hour notice on the order. Or if you just need a few things, order a la carte and get: a one lb sliced oven-roasted turkey breast, a 1 lb sliced cider-glazed ham, or a 10 to 12 lb whole roasted turkey. And, of course, it has pies and other treats to order." - Courtney E. Smith
"I note that NFA Burger sources a turkey chili topping from nearby Breadwinner Cafe and Bakery, which is offered as an extra topping option." - Beth McKibben
"As far as cooling down with a cocktail goes, it’s hard to beat the frozen pineapple upside down mimosa at Dallas’s iconic brunch spot. This icy cold drink combines Prosecco, pomegranate syrup, and pineapple juice into a decadent mimosa that’s far from the usual." - Courtney E. Smith
