Good restaurant with good brunch and chips

by PershingDallas

The chips at Blue Mesa are deadly. I have some self control issues around chips in general, if they are in front of me I eat them. No sweet tooth or many other vices but chips are my downfall and the ones at Blue Mesa are irresistable.

They are known for their weekend brunch. I think it is good but not as great as some folks.

• Pros: Their chips are amazing
• Cons: A little expensive for what you are getting

Bar or Restaurant?-Worst wait time EVER!

by modernchic

Just got back from dinner here, and will be the LAST TIME I go to this restaurant! Got in at 6:15, signed up on waiting list , and was told it would be 30-45 minute wait. OK. Bar was completely PACKED full of people for happy hour, so got a couple of drinks and waited with pager outside on patio. And waited. And waited! An hour and 20 minutes later(!!!) we finally got seated, after checking again and again where we were on the list. Turns out the restaurant had 3 private parties booked, which turned their normal seating capacity into just 8(!!!) tables, and instead of being honest and forthright when we arrived, just neglected to mention the private parties and lied about the wait time. By the time we left at 8:45, I didn't enjoy the food, and had the worst headache, and felt really miserable after, and do not plan on repeating this. Which is sad, because it used to be my favorite restaurant in Dallas, and we had been going to it for years and years. No mas!

• Pros: Good food
• Cons: Can't decide whether it's a bar or restaurant
