Dallas: Best Bloody Mary Brunches

"A brunch without champagne is just a sad little breakfast.  Say, it again with me: A brunch without champagne is just a sad little breakfast. Now, that Y'all have uttered life’s mantra, let’s talk about my favorite meal of the weekend.  In Dallas, we brunch: Anyone who knows me knows that’s my life’s motto, my life’s blood. Ok, maybe I am bein’ larger than life and exaggeratin’, but hey I’m from Texas and Y'all get the point. Let’s be truthful for a second cause brunch is a very real thing here in North Texas. We plan our weekends around it. We’re not talkin’ we show up late to breakfast. We’re talkin’ restaurants that have menus and days dedicated to this weekend past time. For obvious reasons, most of the questions I get via the blog are Texas related, but when it comes to Dallas, I get more questions around Dallas brunch than I do anythin’ else. When I started puttin’ the list together, I realized everythin’ is my favorite, and I brunch far more often than I should. Here is the Glitz & Grits: Best Brunch spots in Dallas."

Those are the words I wrote April 5th of 2016. You can read the full DALLAS: BEST BRUNCH PLACES by clickin' that pretty pink link. Since the post went live all those months ago not only has it been seen by thousands but it's sparked the need for a repeat. So I give, Y'all, Dallas: Best Bloody Mary Brunches.


Bloody Mary, the lesser know drink of choice at brunch, was founded by Fernand Petiot in the 1920's. Earnest Hemmingway was a frequent visitor to the bar Petiot created the first Bloody Mary. Would we expect anythin' less of Earnest?
Let's get to the list, shall we?

And if Bloody Mary's are not your thing they have a mimosa flight that's worth the mileage.

"Ozona is my favorite place with a mimosa deal. That beautiful you see above was $10. Yes, Y'all heard me right, and it was $10. Ozona also has a nice and expansive patio area that's great in the fall to brunch and watch football. What more could a Texan need? Nothin', I tell you. If you happen to swing by, I recommend anythin' Tex-Mex."

I know Y'all looked at that large pitcher of Mimosa and wondered what it had to do with Bloody Mary's. Truthfully I needed Y'all to understand how unique Ozona is. Now, if you know, they can do a Mimosa deal that good their bloody mary's must be worth your time.  Well, they have a bloody mary bar with all the toppings ones heart could desire.
