Café Brazil
This restaurant has been a hit for the neighborhood. With a menu that rivals the Cheesecake Factory, Café Brazil has food to fit whatever one might be craving. Despite its broad range of options, the restaurant seems to have spent plenty of time perfecting each recipe. If you’re going for breakfast, be sure to try their Breakfast Relleno or the French Toast. They also have some excellent tacos if you’re not in the mood for breakfast. Café Brazil has some excellent coffee too, with plenty of flavors that perfectly tailor to whatever you order.
Hunky’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers
This joint specializes in classics with a twist. They’ve got all the classics you could want from a diner — burgers, great fries, and milkshakes. Hunky’s has an excellent Texas Cheeseburger, made with bacon and sandwiched between two slices of Texas toast. Be sure to give their milkshakes a try though. Upgraded with Blue Bell ice cream, the shakes are an instant classic.
Sprezza Italian Restaurant
This restaurant is perfect for date night in Oak Lawn. Sprezza is an upscale uptown spot with a menu that updates every season. Currently, they have an excellent Spaghettini Carbonara on the menu. Perfect for that date night as well, Sprezza has an excellent wine menu put together by master sommelier Sergio Quijano. When you’re ready for an interesting night out in Oak Lawn, be sure to give this excellent spot a try.
Lucky’s Cafe
Last of all, but certainly not least, Lucky’s Cafe is a Dallas institution. It’s a classic diner that’s been in Oak Lawn forever. Lucky’s has maintained the same classic, streamlined, neon-lit style that it started with. The spot has hearty portions and great diner-style food, with breakfast served all day. A popular spot for tourists, try to give this place a try during the week or in off-peak hours.
