"An Australian café with a Marfa-tinged, Instagram-friendly aesthetic at the Quad, offering a $49 three-course prix fixe dinner in addition to its everyday fare. Expect approachable dishes such as crispy Brussels sprouts, a salmon quinoa bowl, avocado toast, a smash burger, and steak au poivre — a casual, stylish spot for both social photos and straightforward café classics." - Courtney E.

Love Two Hands ATX so took a client to this new location in Dallas! The Quad area is completely revamped and I was so impressed with what they have done with that area of Dallas. The restaurant is designed well, had a cool vibe. We got there at 11:30 and by 12 it was packed. We loved all of our dishes. The only thing was they were out of all the ingredients for their fresh juices. They hadn't gotten a shipment yet so that was disappointing. We had a very attentive and great service from our waitress and would highly recommend this place. Make a reservation.

Had a great meal at Two Hands! Loved how fresh everything was and great flavors! Ordered the crispy chili fries, harissa chicken bowl, and banana walnut bread. Service was friendly and attentive - definitely will be back!

Two hands was great for dinner! The food and drinks were delish especially the roasted carrots and banana bread espresso martini. Service was a little slow but that might have just been our waitress. Will definitely give the service another chance when I come back from brunch. Parking was also harder so prep extra time to find street parking. The valet filled up on a Wednesday before 7:30…

Tried out Two Hands in Dallas with some friends and the food did not disappoint. Definitely a solid spot if you’re into bold, well-seasoned dishes. The only downside was the service, which felt a bit inconsistent throughout the service. Some parts were smooth, others not so much. Overall though, the food made up for it, and I’d give it another shot.

We came in on a Wednesday afternoon for brunch to avoid the weekend commotion. There is both inside and outside seating - we opted for inside. There is an area to grab and go for coffee and pastries. The place is bright and I love the retro speakers. Service was quick and kind - Taylor was our waitress. My husband got the steak and eggs and I got the seasonal scramble with an iced peppermint tea. All of it was aesthetically pleasing and delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh, and my husband was pleasantly surprised. A nice addition to Uptown :)

Incredible flavors! Just what we needed in the area, a late brunch (8am-5pm) Monday to Sunday spot that is also guilt free with the best vibes!! The cherry on top for me was their personable staff that remembers your name and favorite drink! I’ve been here a couple of times throughout the day, keep in mind they’re steady busy all day since they’re the new kids on the block. Be patient, it’s 100% worth the wait. Tip your servers and be nice, they’re doing the best they can with the amount of business they already have. This place is legit with a huge following from their other locations. I learned that the first location opened 10+ years ago in Brooklyn and, Dallas is their 9th location. I’m so happy they’re finally here!!!

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was truly unique, they combine ingredients in ways I never would have expected, and it all turns out absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and creativity. Joshua was amazing, he made me feel very comfortable, gave thoughtful recommendations, and was genuinely kind throughout the entire visit. You can tell he really cares about the guests’ experience.

The decor and color is very nice. I have only been here during brunch and need to try their dinner at some point. Service was disappointing. It was slow inside and unsure why service was not attentive. We ordered sparkling water x3 times and finally got it. I also ordered a vanilla latte hot but it came in a glass. I was confused how do you pick this up without burning your hands?! The carrot cake was very disappointing and nothing special for 7-8$. Not to mention the size is TINY! It's almost a mini muffin, barely. Breakfast food was ok. The brekky muffuletta was ok and I would never ordered again. It is a little modified with bacon instead ham. The sauce was just so funky! It was like sour and tangy. Didn't think that paired well. My significant other said the breakfast burrito alright. Overall, it is pretty pricey here and the service would be better but maybe bc they just opened and are figuring things out.

Walked in for a little drink before a birthday and it was so peaceful and styled very cute. Audrey was amazing, helped us pick out some yummy drinks. I had a gin lavender lemonade that was really yummy and my husband tried this green vodka drink with like a hint of cucumber- he really liked it! I thought it was a little veggie forward but I think a lot of people would enjoy it! We didn't eat dinner, but the menu looks great and I can't wait to come back! The crispy oil fries were so good!! And they had some fun aioli's as well!

Modern restaurant with plenty of sunlight and wood textures throughout the restaurant. I can see it being a trendy spot with the cute decor. I ordered an Iced Americano and asked for some stevia as they didn't have sugar free syrup, and the waitress forgot until I asked again. My friend also ordered a side of eggs and bacon and when the food came out, we had to ask the server where it was as well. The food itself was pretty and delicious! The waffles were fluffy, with a nice touch of cream and syrup. I ordered my burger with jalapenos and it was a great burger as well. It was juicy but had a nice crisp too with melted cheese in between. I think it's a solid brunch place to visit despite the service since they were minor inconveniences.

I made a reservation to come try out this new spot with some friends - I highly recommend making one since this spot is pretty popular, and also note that on the reservation confirmation email it says "Your table will be reserved for 90 minutes for parties up to 4 and 2 hours for larger parties". We felt a little rushed towards the end of our visit, so I would definitely keep this in mind since they seem to be trying to stick to that timetable (which is totally understandable since they're a popular, new spot that is attracting lots of people - just to be aware)! Depending on when you're coming, they have street parking or can validate for one of the local garages. The vibes are more casual, noise level was average (still able to have nice conversation without shouting), and service during the meal was a little hands-off. I ordered a flat white, harissa chicken bowl, and hash brown side - this was a great brunch meal and I would definitely come back again for the harissa chicken bowl (great flavor on the chicken, amazing sauce, and veggies prepped perfectly)! Next time I'd also love to try some of the cocktails and share the lemon poppyseed waffle since someone at the table next to us got one and it looked very yummy! Overall - I think this spot is worth checking out, just make sure to grab a reservation beforehand and be mindful of the time expectations while they're still navigating their opening boom!

Extremely beautiful place to eat some colorful, flavourful yet healthy options. I really enjoyed the menu items available and would come back. The ambiance is inviting and bright, I think eating inside is the way to go. Got a salmon quinoa bowl, avocado toast, chicken Harris's bowl. Salmon was cooked perfectly and the jammy egg and the veggies that came with it added a refreshing crunch and burst of flavor. I ordered a seared steak with it and highly recommend the steak. My friends who got an avocado toast and harrisa bowl told me it a was really good. I did try the chicken and it was delicious-- I may have to get that next time! They also got a flat white and a smoothie but I did not try it so I can't comment. Service was alright but they seemed to rush us out, that was my only gripe. Other than that, highly recommend

The food was delicious, and I also really enjoyed the banana flavors in the coffee! All the servers were so kind, attentive, and communicative. They communicated a 15 minute delay in our drinks immediately. I liked how brightly lit the inside is - made me feel energized for brunch!

I was counting down the days until I could check out Two Hands - I was thrilled they brought it into Dallas! My general sentiment is it was a disappointment for the hype and price, but still had some gems. The ambiance is gorgeous, really a perfect example of cultivating a space that feels modern, abstract, but still polished. I love the intentional use of colors and shapes. We did the tasting menu, so we each got our own 3 course meal. This isn't a super value by any means - depending on your choices, you could end up saving just a few bucks. I think it's more so there to help guide you through recommended dishes (though in my opinion, not all should be recommended). To start, we got the burrata and the brussels. The brussels sprouts were awesome - really one of the stars of this meal. They were cooked so well, crispy, easy to eat. The portion size was pretty generous. The burrata on the other hand was a let-down, and this is coming from a burrata lover. The complex dish includes peas for days and pickled zucchini, which doesn't sound terrible at first glance. But, those who order this will find out that the acidic flavor from the zucchini coats the cheese, making it sour and unpleasant. The pea fritters were like falafel, but with the sour flavors of a cheese that should be creamy and borderline sweet makes for a thumbs down dish. For our entrees, we got the pesto pasta and the peri peri chicken. The pesto was decent, I liked the breadcrumbs on top. It was very lemon-y if that's your thing. I thought the pasta was cooked well - al dente but not too tough. The chicken came out in a half bird style with a lot of bone. This makes for a difficult meal to eat while engaging in conversation. The chicken came with this actually horrific grain salad that was completely bland and inedible. When our server cleared our plates, she said "Isn't that the worst?"...okay...so why is it on the menu and why did she let us order it? Then there was dessert, another polarizing course. I ordered the pavlova and it was a DREAM! The perfect balance between fresh, light, sweet, and creamy. I loved it. My bf didn't know what to order and our server said they were known for the banana coffee bread, so he ordered it. It was so bad - incredibly dense but also hard, like it was just brought out of the freezer. You had to push the fork hard to even get a bite, and the bread was so dry. The coffee cream on top was overpowering. Just a seriously bad dessert and I am shocked it was recommended to us. The service was meh. They printed out our bill and put it on the table with the total being $0.00. We asked about it and they fixed it, but the restaurant was not busy (this was a Wed) and it just shows how careless they were. Overall, I won't be running to come back. I don't think a good restaurant is one that has 50% amazing dishes and 50% notably bad ones. PS. They are on the inKind network, so I would use that to save some money!!

For starters, Love the location. They do validate for parking as well. We sat outside because it was a sunny day, which got hot very fast because there's no fans blowing or any type of air circulating around the restaurant. I recommend you sit inside. I don't think they trained their servers well. While our server was very nice - she knew NOTHING about the menu. When I asked her what HER favorite items, she said, "well a lot of people get the burger." I said, "I'll just get the burger medium rare then" and she walked away. She came back 5 minutes later and said "we can't do medium rare because it's a smash burger." This is something she should have known considering this is such a popular item according to her. I was with 3 other people and our food took 45 minutes before we received it. The restaurant wasn't even busy so I have no clue what took our food so long. I would rate the burger 7/10. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito which doesn't come with any protein, you have to add it - and the only option is bacon for an additional $6 for 2 small slices inside. Burrito 6.5/10 One of our friends got the chicken sandwich, which is chicken salad with a mango chutney and some type of earthy green dish on the side. It wasn't good at all 2/10. The drinks were good, and so was the freshly squeezed orange juice. Would I return? No. But I'm glad we gave it a shot. See pictures below. I didn't include the chicken salad since it wasn't good.

The ambiance and service were really great, but the food was unfortunately glorified diner food. The presentation was good but the eggs weren't salted and some of the greens were wilting. The bread didn't have really any flavor either, which isn't a huge deal - but didn't help the overall taste. My daughter got the breakfast burrito and the hash browns were the texture of rice. Her eggs also lacked salt and any other type of seasoning. The avocado was also browning which just made the whole thing feel like mush. We were some of the first customers with only 2 other people in restaurant. We waited about 15 minutes for our drinks of a latte and matcha latte. The latte was warm and lacked espresso flavor. My daughter did enjoy her matcha. Overall there are far better options in Uptown that are comparable in price and incredibly good.

The food was incredible! Great service. Everyone was super friendly. Super cool space. They have a smaller outdoor area and a decent sized indoor area. Drinks were great too! Only con, on the more expensive side. But definitely recommend!

Good food. New opening, service needs to be polished. (Seating us next to dirty table not good). The environment feels too casual and more appropriate for morning lunch cafe style vs nice dinner out. Prob return but will give them time to sort things out.

Had a great meal at Two Hands! Loved how fresh everything was! Ordered the crispy chili fries, harissa chicken bowl, and banana walnut bread and my friend got the pesto cavatelli. The fries weren't necessarily hot when the came out, but they were on the thinner side so I could see how they'd have some trouble retaining heat - flavor was good though. Showed up on a weeknight without a reservation and the only available seating was the patio, it was a bit warm outside but they have umbrellas. The water was served without ice but we asked for some and they added it right away. Service was friendly and attentive - definitely will be back!

It's really cute inside but the dinner food is super mid, felt like sweetgreen food but make it sit down. I still want to go back for brunch though. Bar area was cute & would be a nice place to grab some drinks.
