Sunday brunch

It’s Sunday morning. You’re waking up. Where do you begin? If it’s after 11 a.m., you could start with the $5.95 all-you-can-eat pancakes at Spiral Diner. They will have two kinds stacked inside chafing dishes, and you can serve yourself, so there’s no wait for emergency morning-after carb loading. For a fancy Sunday brunch, we have more ideas.

ODDFELLOWS started out serving breakfast and lunch only, so they know their stuff. Buckwheat, buttermilk and gingerbread pancakes. Omelets galore. Mega breakfast tacos. And that coffee. This place is popular, but the restaurant’s hip owners have created a lovely little plaza out front, so waiting for a table is not that bad.

TILLMAN’S just added brunch last year, and it’s already famous as a hangover helper. The $45 hangover breakfast platter for the table feeds four people and includes “bennie & the jets”, an omelet, bacon, sausage, barbecuespiced breakfast potatoes and cinnamon monkey bread. The brunch menu also includes pancakes with maple syrup (the only syrup that matters), an egg sandwich, burgers, sandwiches and Tillman’s famous venison Frito pie.

Everyone knows JACK’S BACKYARD is great for drinks and live music. But they have Sunday brunch, too. The Jack’s Benedict is made with bacon and avocado. The bloody Mary is $3 and spicy. And on a nice day, the setting is lovely. It’s a good place to bring kids and dogs.

SMOKE wins the prize for sexiest brunch in town. Biscuits and gravy, pulled whole-hog barbecue eggs Benedict, blueberry ricotta cheese pancakes with vanilla poached apricots and cream, cheese grits, thick cut pork-belly bacon. Mmmm. Yes. 901 Fort Worth at Sylvan, 214.393.4141, smokerestaurant.com.
