Company Cafe

Precious table adornment at Company Cafe

Sometimes you come across a new restaurant in your neighborhood that you are ecstatic to discover. You almost don't want to talk about it for fear of not finding a table the next time. That's our feeling about Company Cafe. This place is about to explode! Located on Greenville next to the best hummus place on earth (Sevan G&G Cafe), this is a cozy location that is quite a find.

There is valet parking (ugh, Dallas!), but the lot is so tiny, it's actually a relief to have someone else deal with it. The venue offers inside and outside seating - we chose outside. Cute wooden picnic tables, some with umbrellas, add adorable detail. We were there around eight and the breeze was nice, not a bug to be found.

The staff is so friendly and very willing to talk about their place; we got the lowdown and were on board with their theories and their ideas. We loved that things from the menu can be found locally. We loved that it was all fresh. But most of all, we loved the price points. Wine by the glass topped off at $7, a rare restaurant find these days. Best of all, the wine was good (we tried the Eve Chardonnay - highly recommend!).

We had our mind set on chicken and waffles, but there were a ton of items that tried to sway our vote.
We started with the loaded sweet potato fries. If you go to Company Cafe, you absolutely must order this. The fries were good on their own - the salt to fry ratio was magnificent. On top of those delicious fries: white cheddar, bacon, and green onions. It was an instant crowd pleaser.



The chicken and waffles were also out of this world. Word of mouth had ranked this dish as the best in Dallas. It didn't come with gravy, which might deter some c&w enthusiasts, but gravy has no place here. The delicate flavors would be overwhelmed and you would miss out on something spectacular. The waffle is gluten free, and it is prepared with jalapeno and bacon cooked into the batter. It is then topped with a pan fried chicken breast - so it's not grease overkill. Served alongside syrup, this trifecta of goodness cannot be improved.


The dessert case looked amazing, but there was no room in the inn at that point. We will definitely be back, though, and we will come prepared next time.

The Dish: loaded sweet potato fries will blow your mind!
