Always a pleasure to visit. We have food allergies and they are very accommodating. Several of the folks there recognize us and stop by to say hello. The place is always busy and I recommend a reservation - even for lunch. Delicious twist to all of the dishes. Seasonal ingredients. A real delight!

Grab a reservation for brunch because this place is now well-known and LOVED! I devour their sweet potato hash bowls. It s also the perfect spot for a relaxed date night. Healthy and fresh food that I m always craving!

Fun creative menu focusing paleo diet food options. Lucky me, I'm gluten free so of course I had to get the chicken fried chicken! They have great service and a busy crowd. I recommend making reservations.

This place was great. If you are in the area or will be in the Dallas area you should make a stop here. Food is absolutely amazing! I had the chilaquilles and they were so good I scraped the plate. Drinks were decent too. There wasn't any wait when I arrived (10:30ish) but was a very small wait when I left (noon).

My husband took me here for my birthday and we had the most wonderful experience! I had some of the best fish (halibut) I ve ever had! Our waiter was wonderful and it was so nice to see so many smiling faces, we truly enjoyed ourselves :)

Upscale paleo-diet friendly, delicious food!!! Outside of HG Supply I have nowhere to go for paleo fare, forcing me to pick through menus. Last night I got the fried chicken I wanted with none of the gluten!!! Oh and it was delicious! Our waitress from Louisiana (I forgot her name) was wonderful and a breath of fresh air. The entire staff was friendly and continuously checked on us. Coming back soon!

I think it's a good selection for gluten free and vegan. The meat and chicken were good. I didn't love the sides. The grilled/sauteed mixed veggies were so pepper they were hard to eat. The smashed sweet potatoes were spicy as well.

-We ordered three different dishes and no one was impressed with their food
-I ordered the regular salad. Granted you get a large serving of greens, is it worth $15? Definitely not.
-My wife ordered the dip. The ratio of protein to carbs was 1:1, not much considering this was also $15

Oh my oh my! What a wonderful experience! We got the bottle of champagne with four different juices. Very delicious! For starters we had the cashew queso with malanga chips. So good! Those chips were incredible! Held their shape and were More

My bf and I came here for brunch on Sunday morning. We are very healthy eaters and we love the idea of using clean ingredients. So this place sounded perfect for us. When we arrived there was already a wait. The hostess told us there was seats available at the bar. We decided to sit there. When we sat down the bartender did not greet us until we waved her down. She was not very friendly and seem to have a little bit of an attitude. After we waved her down, we ordered 2 ice coffees which were super water downed and flavorless. We also had to wave her down to place our meals. My bf ordered the chicken and waffles, with upcharge for using avocado oil for an extra $2. The chicken was dried and the waffle was dense. I ordered the breakfast flatbread. The flatbread was ok. I wish there had been some kind of cheese sauce or some kind of sauce to hold all the breakfast toppings on top and the balsamic vinegar reduction added nothing to the flatbread. Besides that restaurant is very cute, clean and they do serve alchohol. Parking is easy. I hope they get some feed back and maybe execute the menu a little better in the future.

Highly recommend this place! Ate here on Saturday before a concert with my mom. We thoroughly enjoy both dishes that we ordered! The short rib is enough to share between two people! The goat cheese grits are to die for! We also had the cholula wings. Everything was great and the service was even better! All of the wait staff are super chill, friendly and helpful. I liked that everyone checks on you, not just your server. our server was super funny and kind. Will def be going back!

Great place to grab a healthy brunch! They have a multitude of options that are gluten free and healthy, although you can add on and be bad if you want. Food came out quickly and staff was welcoming.

I had the tacos and they were different because of the cassava tortilla but great. We also tried the chicken and waffles deconstructed. The chicken was thin and tender with solid flavor.

It is a small spot and they do have a small patio. I'd recommend reservations for anything more than 2 people.

We (my wife and I) have been coming here for years and just now writing a review. The whole menu is great. One of the best burgers in Dallas, but don t be afraid to try something like the Halibut (it was a special when I got it). The calamari is great too. Drinks are great, atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. They have kept a lot of staff members for years which I think says something. It s one of our regular places to go.

Let me start by saying I m on day 11 of whole30 so my food options are limited when eating out. To find a place with so many whole30 options was refreshing. With that said, the chili was amazing. Probably the best I have had.

Menu has lots of healthy/clean variety - this is the Define Dish Enchiladas with the cilantro poblano cauliflower rice (underwhelming... but isn t all cauliflower rice...) - enchiladas were good but overall, fairly average. The calamari was very good. Perfectly crispy and the glaze on the almonds and bell peppers was amazing. Ambiance is good, if you are seated inside it s fairly noisy, but the patio out front is nice and quieter.

Origin has great food and great service. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh. The chicken and waffles are awesome. I won't say they're the best in Dallas but they're up there! The staff is always attentive and the drinks are great. It's a open kitchen so it's always lively in there. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Dallas again

The food is fantastic and chef Morgan is the reason why! Absolutely delicious. Not only is the food great, Chef Morgan has an awesome personality and makes you feel welcomed. You can tell he cooks from the heart and enjoys what he does. Thank you for a great experience. Can't wait to come back.

Fine. They are working with good flavors, but overall I did not feel that my dish wowed me for the price (I ordered the shrimp and grits, $17). The best part of the dish was the layer of shaved cheese that formed a thin layer over the grits, as that is something I have not previously experienced with grits preparation; I enjoyed this texture.

Small location. Good staff interactions.

This may not apply to others, but I was disappointed that I could not find anything on their mission / their why behind why they do what they do, on either their menu or website. This is usually quite important to me in selecting restaurants and helps connect me to the food on another level. Without this, I do not know if I would have visited if I were not invited by friends.

What a fantastic little spot this is. I don't think I've had calamari since going gluten-free, so you can imagine how impressed I was to see it as a gluten-free option here. The roasted peppers and maple syrup really make it even more More

Tried the acai bowl. It was fine. Poor and deficient in customer service and attention to needs of clientele. Sat at the bar. Bartender did not introduce herself or welcome me. After ordered meal, she did not even come inquire how my meal was, or if I needed anything. Took my card for payment and had no personality. Not impressed at all. Maybe personal issues at home, but don't bring it to work.

For convenience, book a reservation in advance. Walk-ins are fine as long a table is available or the bar. Had a Burger Salad. It was delicious. Didn't like the dijon dressing that came with it, so I went with the aioli dressing. Sweet, beautiful environment.

Not worth the wait. Its relatively small but almost lives up to the hype. We were a group of 8 and had a reservation for sunday brunch, but still had to wait an additional 25 minutes for the table. The wake up omelette was great. They also have a decent collection of wine. The Chicken and waffle was ok, as the waffle was pretty dry. Bison chilli was different and fries were generic.

Overall experience was OK from the price point, taste and wait time.

I don't eat meat, gluten, soy, or dairy. No problem here. They know their food and they will accommodate special needs!

The food was quite good but underwhelming at this price point. Similar story with the service. I had an elderflower lavender martini that was extremely good, but the house old fashioned left a lot to be desired. Again, it was a very lovely evening but not what I'd hoped for given the price.

Came here for lunch on a weekday and it was busy! We didn t have a reservation but luckily there were seats at the bar available. Despite it being a busy time we were waited on and served in a timely manner and the food was delicious. My wife is gluten sensitive and she got the gluten free Chicken and Waffles. She was in love! Can t wait to go back.

Really enjoyed my food and experience at Little Greek! I found this restaurant randomly online and decided to meet my friend for lunch last Monday. I entered the restaurant and loved the open space and intimacy. There were a nice amount of four seater tables inside and outside.
