Ida Claire - Southern restaurant (US) in Dallas - 5001 Belt Line Rd, USA

This is the place to try in Addison. The interior design alone is spectacular and very unique. Each item on the menu looked exquisite - the Creole rubbed sous-vide pork chop was the best pork chop I've ever had. Beer selection was amazing as well, local brews from TX available. The hostess and server were SO friendly and accommodating, they really helped me choose the best dish and drink for what I was feeling. I'm telling everyone I know who goes to Addison to go here! I do wish they had even one vegan option in the menu.

Ida Claire is a restaurant every human should experience. The food is great. The ambience is great. Every time I’ve visited, the service has been great. I’m grateful for this place! Keep up the good work.

Our first visit and we were blown away. First is the great entry with flowers, benches and an Airstream trailer. Very cool. We got a table right away and started with Bloody Mary’s, they were quite tasty, but needed some vodka. Our server was very attentive, the bathrooms are clean and no sticky floors to be found. I had the creole gumbo and steak frites, both were exceptional. The entire interior was very welcoming and had a calming effect. The bar had plenty of cold beer on tap, and the design is cool. This will not be our last visit.

Hands down the best brunch experience that I’ve ever had. The food, service, and location were unbelievable. I wish we had a place like this at home as I’d be a frequent visitor! I had the fried chicken plate with the watermelon salad. They made my chicken Nashville style at no additional charge. The chicken was super crispy and the spice level was perfect. The salad was tasty and refreshing. Others in my party enjoyed their dishes as well and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Dallas. Be sure to make a reservation as the place gets really busy on weekends!

•Atmosphere and staffing were welcoming and very attentive! Not just attentive, but also had wonderful personality. •Food- I had the fried green tomatoes (Highly recommend) and Texas Redfish. I'd get both again! The taste of the espresso martini was average, but I was a bit disappointed how small it was for the price ($13 I believe). As someone who drinks a lot of water, I appreciate having the pitcher at our table. •Parking- There is plenty between the 2 restaurants and well lit, no complaint from me there. •Live music- this was a pleasant surprise. I'd go back just to listen and sit at the bar. •My biggest complaint is how close you are to other tables at the half booth tables. The waiter could barely stand between the two. Don't love sitting a couple feet from people and listening to their colorful language half the night.

Loved, loved the wait staff. They were attentive and friendly. The restaurant had a fun vibe. The food was really good. I had the shrimp and grits, which I am normally very picky about. It needed a little bit of salt and pepper, but otherwise it was absolutely on point. Someone else got the Nashville Hot Tenders. Omg. I was jealous. It was spicy, hot, and so tasty! The fried green tomatoes were yummy. I could've had a whole plate them by myself. Can't wait to come back.

A unique spot to hang out at, and an amazing brunch spot. Food was really tasty and the drink selection has a mix of modern and classics. The Notorious FIG was a pretty good one, and the Espresso Martini (while I wouldn’t call it best in class) was well made even though I am a bit of a purist. Well worth an in town trip, group get-together, or date night.

First time dining at Ida Claire with my family. I ordered a Nashville Hot Chicken but it was cold I asked the server to see if they could reheat the food in the microwave but he kindly suggested that they were going to make a new plate which was great. We will come back again!
