CeeZoos Dallas

Review Highlights

CeeZoos Dallas is a brunch and bar-lounge spot in Dallas, Texas that reached out to Keith Lee via email. He visited on a Sunday with his family, spending $73.25. The restaurant was completely empty during the visit — Keith categorised it as a place with good food and good customer service that needs marketing help. He also noted it appeared to be a bar-lounge concept still finding its footing as a brunch destination.

• ·Chicken and waffles — fried chicken with a syrup glaze baked onto the crust, served with a soft, buttery waffle; "those spots with the syrup are super sweet, but the rest is a salty, savory kind of chicken — they put the syrup on and put it back in the oven to make a good crust"; 8/10 — the clear standout of the meal; Keith said he'd come back specifically for this dish
• ·Lamb chops with cheese rice and eggs — lamb chops ordered medium, arrived well done; "lacking a lot of flavor"; the cheese rice described as similar to a risotto but "just cheesy, salty rice" for Keith's taste; 3/10
• ·Salmon with grits — "that salmon tastes like fresh out the sea"; overwhelmingly fishy even for a self-described fish lover; grits described as plain; 1/10 — his lowest rating in a long time

Keith's verdict: a tale of two meals. The chicken and waffles — the restaurant's best foot forward — earned an 8 and a promise to return. Everything else fell well short: the lamb chops came out overcooked, the cheese rice wasn't for him, and the salmon scored his lowest rating in recent memory. His overall read: "It seems like a bar-lounge place that's trying to get into brunch — this might just be the very beginning." He attributed the empty dining room to a combination of food consistency and marketing, not a lack of potential.
