Best Breakfast: Dandelion Cafe

This family-owned Bellaire joint kicks off its all-day breakfast bright and early at 7 a.m. every day but Sunday (when you can sleep in a bit because it starts at 8). Make your way to the neighborhood to experience chef JC Ricks’ cult favorite buttermilk pancakes…or his now famous fried chicken and cornbread waffles with spicy maple butter, which garnered national attention in Good Morning America’s “United States of Breakfast” competition earlier this year. Get those, and add on even more a.m. comfort in the form of chicken chilaquiles and scratchmade biscuits and gravy.

KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
The Houston Press is a nationally award-winning, 34-year-old publication ruled by endless curiosity, a certain amount of irreverence, the desire to get to the truth and to point out the absurd as well as the glorious.
