Best Family Restaurants in Grand Prairie

"The Henry has not one, but two outdoor spaces perfect for people watching while enjoying coffee, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or cocktails. The main floor patio features an outdoor French bistro vibe with gram-worthy striped umbrellas and white marble tabletops. The rooftop patio is for drinks only on weekends, but the views are stunning and it’s certainly a hot spot."

"The Henry has made a name for itself as a chic restaurant with a rooftop patio for the perfect happy hour spot, as you sip a unique cocktail and enjoy the picturesque downtown skyline. Partially covered, with patio heaters scattered across the rooftop bar, The Henry is open until midnight on weeknights and 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights."

"The Henry claims to be “The Greatest Neighbourhood Restaurant”, and we think they have a fair shot at it. Located in Uptown Dallas, there’s an all-day menu which means you can come for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect hearty dishes, sparkling service and and brilliant views."

"With views of Klyde Warren Park and the downtown skyline, Yardbird’s positioned to be a primo open-air brunch spot. Southern-style menu favorites include crab cake Benedict with fried green tomatoes, chicken with watermelon and waffles, and maple-bacon donuts. Drinks echo the Dixie-fried charm with a pork chop-inspired bourbon cocktail and a killer Bloody Mary kicked up with homemade mix, fresh horseradish, and a dash of Crystal Hot Sauce."

"While it’s not necessarily a traditional brunch spot, a visit to Fort Worth is not complete without a stop at Ol’ South Pancake House. The restaurant has been family-owned since 1962, and offers up a straightforward menu that has been labeled Fort Worth’s ‘best breakfast’ 6 years running. Give the famous German pancakes a try, or fill up on a biscuits’n’gravy skillet."

"The restaurant that’s lovingly served TCU students at 3AM along with hungry early birds at 6AM is still open 24 hours Thursday through Saturday. It’s one of the few places where you can find a lemony Dutch Baby pancake crowned with powdered sugar and fruit topping if you like."

"Head to Ol’ South Pancake House and start your day with some Southern home-style cooking. As one of Fort Worth’s landmarks, this is one of the busiest kitchens in town. However, the popular German pancake with bacon on the side is every foodie’s favorite and worth the wait."

"Tom’s occupies an old Denny’s, turning the space from national chain into a distinctly-Texan spot. Maintaining the metallic 50’s diner without any of the gimmicks, Tom’s serves homemade Arlington favorites like breakfast quesadillas and burritos, along with traditional eggs and pancakes. The crown jewel of Tom’s is the chicken-fried steak, prepared with a unique potato chip batter and topped with gravy."

"Just down the road from Six Flags, Pioneer Restaurant’s only sign advertises “Just Good Food.” The no-frills spot lives up to this promise, especially with their all-day breakfast menu. Pioneer supplants their reputation as local favorite with the workman’s special served Monday through Friday; two eggs, bacon or sausage, grits or hash browns, and toast or biscuits. The menu also includes extensive options for meat lovers; rib-eye steak, chopped sirloin, ham and pork chops are all served with eggs."

"The bright yellow awning and large flower pots at Lavendou Bistro draw admiring glances from a distance, and it’s even lovelier on a summer night with its patio lights sparkling. A three-course takeout meal from the DFW Restaurant Week menu held a few pleasant surprises this past year. Though plated in plastic, an appetizer of eggplant and zucchini on a pastry shell, followed by chicken in beer-infused cream sauce with pappardelle were both beautiful dishes."

"Lavendou Bistro Provincial brings you to Provence, where the aroma of herbs and spices caress your senses and you experience basking in the warm morning sunshine. This French restaurant is arguably one of the best French restaurants not just in Dallas but in the entire state of Texas. They provide an authentic French dining experience that will stimulate all your senses and bring you into the countryside of France."

"Pascal Cayet's romantic, brick-walled gem wins fans for its friendly staff, terrific food and reasonable prices. And it's been kicking it up Provençale style since 1996. The menu features a roster of French hits, ranging from mussels in saffron cream, foie gras terrine and lobster bisque to rack of lamb, roasted duck and grilled tilapia Provencal."

"Taking over the nearby shut-down Le Cep space, Saint-Emilion flexes its Provencal prowess with a posh and elegant dining concept, Paris 7th. While Saint-Emilion was closed for repairs and to revamp its new casual bistro approach to French cuisine, Paris 7th serves classical dishes of escargot, caviar, duck foie gras and beef bourguignon. With more than 200 labels to choose from, Paris 7th offers an incredible wine list."

"Knox DistrictClassic French sidewalk cafe with charming patioThere’s something about a restaurant that pays such painstaking homage to Paris that romance practically envelops the place, whether via the food, ambiance or a combination of the two. This outpost of the popular Texas mini-chain feels like an Epcot-worthy recreation of a Parisian sidewalk cafe, that makes one want to write poetry while waiting on appetizers. Or draw a portrait over dessert."

"Toulouse Café and Bar is a restaurant that offers and specializes in French cuisine together with Belgian cuisine that has French influence with a modern take. The restaurant is built to be comfortable, modern, and homey, where friends and family can bump into each other. They have three locations: Dallas, Plano, and Houston."

"Opened in 1955 and originally called Gene's, Dunston's is the steakhouse that time forgot. Don't expect Nick & Sam's-caliber steaks, but there's a certain charm to the dated vibe and weird iceberg salads."

"Originally started in San Antonio by Elizabeth Chambers and husband/actor Armie Hammer, BIRD Bakery opened a second shop in Dallas in 2016. Located in Highland Park Village, the space is big enough to come in and enjoy a bite and sip on coffee. There are also a few small tables outside and a kids table inside, which has TVs that play shows and movies to entertain the young ones."

"Grab a coffee or pastry and check out Bird Bakery's huge neon pink sign that says LET THEM EAT CAKE. (Amen to that) You can find them in Highland Park, and they're known for their mini cupcakes served in an egg carton. Totally delicious and super cute!"

"The charm is so real at this Highland Park Village bakery that literally declares “Let Them Eat Cake”!. It was founded by actor Armie Hammer’s wife, Elizabeth Chambers Hammer. So, it has star factor, in addition to all that sweetness."
