It’s been a long-standing family tradition to celebrate Mother’s Day with a beautiful Sunday brunch. When we were younger, we would prepare our mom a special breakfast in bed consisting of (possibly burnt) toast with jam, scrambled eggs, and orange juice.
Now that we have explored so many of the restaurants in Dallas and appreciate all of the culinary choices available, we can really spoil our hard-working mothers! We urge you to skip the drugstore greeting card and snooze-worthy flowers that you gift her with every year. Instead, think “outside the brunch” and delight your mom, stepmom, baby-mama, or mother-in-law with one of our Top 5 DFW Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas!
1. Lunch or Dinner Cruise on Lake Ray Hubbard
One might think that a sunset cruise can only be a romantic date night option. Not so! The Sunset or Family Daytime cruises with Sail with Scott are the perfect Mother’s Day adventure. The Seawolf offers guests a 360º view of the lake as you cruise the entire southern section of the beautiful waters of Lake Ray Hubbard. Guests are encouraged to pack a picnic lunch and BYOB! Reservations are still open for Mother’s Day weekend. Book your tickets now. ($25 for adults and $15 for children.)
Before you set sail, don't forget to grab your long-sleeve Brunch Empire t-shirt just in case it gets chilly when the sun goes down!
2. Mother’s Day Drag Brunch at Legacy Hall
Mimosas + Mom + an All-Star cast of Queens. What more could you possibly want? By far the most entertaining Mother’s Day brunch in Dallas, you DO NOT WAIT to reserve your seats. This will be a Mother’s Day she will never forget! Tickets are $45 per person and are sold by the table.
