"After nearly 20 years of slinging Southern fare in the Bishop Arts District, stalwart Dallas restaurant Hattie's has closed its doors. According to CultureMap, the restaurant served its final meals on February 16, and claimed that its closure was temporary before reportedly telling its now-former employees 'not to bother showing up.' Amid its departure, some of the restaurant’s vendors and workers claim that owner Tony Alvarez owes them money." - Amy McCarthy

"When a nap-inducing meal won’t work with your lunch schedule, head over to this Bishop Arts bistro for lighter Southern fare. The fried green tomato and smoked pimento cheese sandwich is light enough to return from your lunch hour." - Allison Castloo

"This cozy shotgun-style restaurant, at 2,600 square feet, caters to an enthusiastic brunch crowd, but the food makes the occasionally high volume of the crowd tolerable. Brunch is packed from open until close, thanks to can’t-miss dishes like the buttermilk fried chicken with tasso ham gravy and mashed potatoes, blue crab cake Benedict with a poached egg and Hollandaise, and shrimp and cheddar grits with Tabasco-bacon sauce. Upscale yet casual, the chic decor at Hattie’s includes white tablecloth-topped tables and banquettes." - David Landsel

My husband and I came here for dinner tonight and had such a great experience. The staff were all courteous and friendly. The food were fantastic. We got the pork chop and the bacon wrapped jalapeño stuffed quail and both were delicious. We especially loved the sides that came with them. The cocktails were good but a little too sweet for our taste. We luckily found a spot on the street nearby but we also got a reservation right when the restaurant opens for dinner. Overall a great experience, we will be back!

Excellent. Clean. Lively. Great service. The deviled eggs were awesome, the garlic cheese toast was super good, fried green tomatoes were pretty good. I will definitely come back and would recommend to others.

Amazing experience. We flew into Dallas to visit family, manner having been here, we wanted to try a local favorite. Hattie's was recommended, so we have reservations a few weeks ago. Our flight got in late, we called and Tony was able to move our time to later. We arrived and he greeted is with a smile. They were very busy, but our server Collin was there when we needed him and away when we wanted privacy. The drinks are mixed well and food was amazing. The fried okra is amazing and crab cake is just as good. Main dishes were the Mac and Cheese (grown up style) and the crusted catfish. Three food was perfect temp writing being too hot, the fish crust was just crispy enough and the fried okra was a nice spin being the whole okra fried and not in slices. Strongly recommend

This establishment is a true gem! Not prohibitively expensive, tastefully decorated, professional servers, no trace of kitchen noises, and we didn't leave smelling like we had just slaved over a hot stove. Our entrees were beautiful. I planned on a salad, or the soup and mini grilled cheese, but instead ordered the special, which was a chicken fried, very thin, NY Strip, with mushroom gravy. It arrived on a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes, with a crisp/tender stalk of broccoli. Everything we ordered was definitely Southern comfort food, but far above the norm. Our server, Carlos, could not have done a better job! If you visit Hattie's, save room for dessert! The molten chocolate cake ordered by my granddaughter? Perfection! I was so happy that Carlos brought us extra spoons "just in case" we decided to give in to temptation. I'm eager to return for round two.

We went during dinner hours. The service was perfect. Our server attended to our needs without bothering us. He also made good food recommendations when we asked about certain dishes. For a party of two, we shared an appetizer of fried green tomatoes, the honeycrisp beets salad, and he got the pork chop while I got the bacon-wrapped quail. Everything was delicious! He also got a mule and I got a key lime martini, which were also good. We were too stuffed for dessert. We are eager to go back!

The food was delicious. I had lamb cooked medium and or was perfect. My wife had shrimp and grits and she said "It touched my soul. " The waiter here was so friendly and let me sample a red to go with my lamb. The braised greens were a nice touch to go with the lamb and cherry sauce. Next time I get $100 to. spend I'm coming here

First time here, we made reservations but arrived early & was seated immediately. Our waiter was very nice & attentive, I ordered the pecan crusted catfish w/greens & my hunny ordered the buttermilk fried chicken. The food came out hot & it was very good! Will come back for brunch on Sunday!

Hattie's has been a favorite of mine since I first went in 2012, but during on my last visit, I could tell something was off with the taste of the food. As it turns out, the executive chef, Esteban, is no longer with the company. Sadly, the taste of the food is missing his touch. I still enjoy the restaurant, & I hope they figure out the magic that needs to return to the food. I'll be back soon.
