About this business
This coffee shop's truck-stop flavor hails from decades ago when Harry Hines was the main highway north. Diners feel as if James Dean might walk through the door at any time. Dallas journalists, lawyers, businessmen, celebrities and politicians drop in to partake of huge breakfasts and "blue plate" style lunches. Photographs of long-time customers and eclectic memorabilia adorn the walls. It's busy, loud and the food is excellent. For breakfast try the home-style chicken fried steak and eggs with hash browns, large, buttery ... read more

Being relatively new to Dallas, Im always in search of the authentic -- the anti-chain. The Mecca is one of those places. I had a late breakfast/early lunch (Im not sure brunch is the right term for a down-home place like Mecca). The service was sweet and the food served hot and fresh. All the basics youd expect from an authentic place like The Mecca: country fried steak, grits, eggs, etc. The decor is truck-stop chic and the food tasty.

A friend dragged me here because it was "the best breakfast in Dallas." Ahh, not so! Edible, standard fare, but nothing spectacular. Not worth the trip back, in my opinion.

Tried the new Mecca in my neighborhood and was somewhat disappointed. The menu was similar to the original, but missing the breakfast ham steak I loved that covered the plate. It was a bit pricey too with most all meals at \$10 and \$3 for a milk. They were pushing a \$5 cinnamon roll as a highlight, but I dont even remember there being one before.Since it was dinner we ordered the Ham and Beans bowl dinner for \$6.99 and Liver and Onions for \$9.99. But when the bill came the Ham and Beans bowl was \$9.99.The young waiter t... read more

I have not eaten here in years, but am going this week. I am writing referencing the descripttion, it is poetic, but historically weak. The Mecca Cafe was not on Harry Hine (look it up in history, the s was added later) originally, nor at a time when the street was the main N/S thoroughfare. Yes it was a major street. The Mecca used to be at Denton Dr. and Mockingbird. It had to relocate when the west runway at Love Field was built. I maybe wrong, but I believe their current building was originally another Dallas icon, no lo... read more

Maybe Im a little bit partial, but if you happen to be out and about in Dallas and looking for some good home cookin check out the Mecca. My daddy has been taking me here for years and his dad took him there before that and it hasnt changed.The restaurant is in an old house that stands out from every other building that surrounds it. Inside, the walls are filled with treasures and momentos that chronicle Dallas history and local celebrities. The food, especially the desserts, is wonderful. Service is great and always friendl... read more
