I passed this restuarant each day I drove from my hotel to downtown. The outdoor seating and natural wood surrounding intrigued me. I loved this restaurant, especially the extensive Belgium beer selection and rare taps. It must be a place that only the locales know about since its located on the outskirts of the design district. The staff was extremely... More

Tried this place today at lunch on a Tuesday . . . it was packed. Nice place in the Design District . . . there are actually trees in Dallas to park under in the shade. Sat at the bar as a single. The beer selection was incredible . . . the Peticolas Velvet Hammer may be the best beer... More

I love this restaurant. From the extensive beer selection and rare taps to the thai mussles and rabbit pot pie, there is no other restaurant like this in Dallas. I especially love the locale on the outskirts of the design district and natural wood outside dining area. The staff has always been extremely outgoing with refreshing personalities that add flair...

After several visits for both lunch and dinner, the food here is consistent and delicious. Shrimp and grits with jalapeno gravy are excellent, as is the fish and chips, mussels prepared several different ways, and the daily "pot pies". The desserts are worth saving room for if you can. Service however has also been consistent and unfortunately, slow, slower, slowest. More

We went to Meddlesome Moth a few weeks back for brunch on a Sunday. While the location and the atmosphere were decent we were very unimpressed by the food. At first glance the menu looks unique with a decent amount of variety. They have an extensive drink list and lots of beers on tap to please the beer drinker. The... More

My husband and I ate here several months ago. We really enjoyed the eclectic menu and the sharing plates. Our favorite was the gnocchi and Swiss chard plate. The atmosphere was excellent. We didn't try any of the craft beers but they seemed to have an outstanding selection. I would definitely recommend for date night or girls night out. More

Went to Meddlesome Moth last week with some friends for Sunday brunch, was pleasantly surprised by the creativity of the menu. The bacon waffles were delicious - two fluffy waffles topped with bacon, apples, gruyere, and a cheese fondue, yum! More
