This is going to be primarily about Table 13.  Went for the second time yesterday and I freaking love the place.  Met a friend and  had two entrees, an appetizer, four martinis, a glass of champagne, and a dessert for $46.  Nuts.  $13 lunch special gets you an entree + a dessert or glass of champagne.  Plus $3 martinis (regular, gimlet, cosmo, or lemon drop).  And the food is damn good.  Highly recommend.

Another go-to for me is the half chicken + two sides for $9.99 at Eatzi's.  Easily enough for two meals.  

I'll think of more.  What else you got?

Love Table 13!  Didn’t even know they did lunch.  Cool, thanks!

Nice thanks for this. 

When I have some team members come in from overseas we usually just go to Al Bernaits for the bar menu after work. It's easy and I can walk to it from my office.

Yep!  Surprised we haven’t run into each other there.  Bar menu/happy hour whatever is one of the best kept secrets in town.  Great food for not a lot of money and usually a pretty cool scene.

That’s how a lunch should go.

Cosign on the Al Biernat's happy hour.  

It's pretty great. I haven't been to Drake's HH yet but it's my understanding it goes from 4-5 every single day, including weekends and cocktails (not sure if all or just Drake's signature drinks) and pizza are half price.

I like the Campisi's lunch special. $10 for a personal 2 topping pizza and a side salad.

Can we merge this with suggestions for just a great lunch....not a quick, cheap lunch thing, but maybe where you would go for a business lunch or a nice lunch, when you might linger on a pretty day and when they may be wine or a cold beer involved?

For me, Parigi, is the clear winner here, followed by Hatties.

I’d like to renew this thread post covid. I’m in Dallas proper once every couple of weeks for work and am often looking for lunch places. Any suggestions for good weekday lunch spots? Solo or with associates, drinking and not.

What part of Dallas are you typically in when you're in town?

Sorry, I think I was unclear. I live up in Plano and work in McKinney/Plano most days. Every few weeks I have to go down to the Dallas Courthouses and I’m looking for good lunch spots down there on those days. 

I'm going to go old school. S&D Oyster House is iconic. Sammy's BBQ is owned by one of my closest friends. It's not Terry Black's caliber but it's a cool spot and gets the job done. Killer sides like baked potato casserole and fried okra as well as the best apple pie I've ever had. There are worse places to spend time than the Stoneleigh P.

Cindi’s deli is a mainstay for the courthouse crowd. Have gone there many times during trials. Only a block from the Allen Courthouse. (South)

Tons of places in and around downtown. Will work on a list when I have more time.

My office has been taking advantage of this Mendocino Farms deal the last week or two:
