The Heights
2015 Abrams Rd, Dallas, TX
Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood spot in The Heights serves up exceptional comfort food that keeps locals coming back for years, with standout dishes like their granola pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and Chef Karen's legendary chicken pot pie. The vibe is genuine small-diner homey—the kind of place where you'll want to linger over coffee and pastries, chat with servers who treat you like family, and arrive late enough to catch their leisurely breakfast service. It's as much about the warmth of the space and community as it is about the food, making it the ideal spot for meeting a friend or settling in for an unhurried morning.”

The granola pancakes are amazing! Very homey small diner vibes
Solid cocktails, dry rubbed wings were excellent as were the entrees. Highly recommend.
The Oatmeal Pancakes were awesome. The biscuits and gravy were a strong second. Everything else is worth the visit. My girlfriend’s burger was overcooked as well as her fries and the pineapple cocktail was just awful, almost like the bartender left out a couple of ingredients. Our waitress was sweet but just missed on a few things. For instance, I ordered bacon as a side and got sausage. I ordered a side of grits, no spoon. We wanted to try the pancakes but she had to be reminded. Small issues but enough to lower the rating. I suspect this place is better than we experienced, so I do encourage all to try it. The pancakes alone are worth the trip.
Tough to leave this review. Great cooks and servers. Been a staple of mine for the last 6 years. Problem is shrinkflation in the form of tiny portion sizes. Just increases prices. I even asked them to check the portion during phone call order to confirm it was to expected sizing. Getting home to a tiny pot roast brisket serving is disappointing.
Chef Karen is serving up some of the best comfort food in Dallas. DELICIOUS. We live in the neighborhood and are so happy to have this local treasure. Chef K has a gift for chicken pot pie, pork chop mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked green beans, shrimp Louie sandwich, Mac and cheese… it’s all delicious. Atmosphere is friendly and service is GREAT! Love this place.
