Record Grill

I was touring Dealey plaza and wanted something quick and good. Stopped in to the Record grill and had the bacon double cheeseburger. Was able to watch them cook my meal. Looked like quality beef and fresh bacon. Buns were toasted. Was done nicely on the griddle, great taste and price was right. It is Cash only, so come prepared. The staff were very nice and friendly. When I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely be back for breakfast. Come out and support your local businesses.

Fantastic diner - real-live lunch counter. This place earns every one of the four stars (I reserve five stars for the very best places I've ever been). We had two orders of onion rings to start (5), my wife had a fish sandwich (5), I had a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich and fries (6) and we each had fountain cokes (@2). Folks coming and going on a rainy day about 11:45 pm. Relaxing, clean, homey, not quiet, but not noisy. Attentive service from the three folks running the seven seats and four tables. I enjoyed myself thoroughly! $22.05 altogether for lunch. Parking is a big challenge on a weekday, but we lucked out: Go into the Houston or Elm entrance to the Dallas County Records/Tax Office building's underground parking - get as low as necessary to park in the back corner (the NE corner) - that elevator lets you out away from the records building in a little structure on the corner of Elm and market - directly across the street from the Record Grill! Parking's pricy: 61+ minutes, $10 - we got out for $7 - well worth it. We'll be back every chance we get.

It's exactly what you would expect. Hole in the wall location very close to JFK assassination location. They do not have bathrooms so you may need to plan accordingly. Just think as if they were a food truck, but in a fixed location with some seating. Cash only. No WiFi and proud of it. :-) Lots and lots of regulars. Good variety of cold bottled drinks.

If you blink, you’ll miss it. It’s a small place with big flavor. Hole in the wall feel..Entering, I wasn’t impressed, but that changed quickly. It was warm and crowded. But the service was excellent and the drinks were cold. I just ordered a burger, how good can it be right? Dayum!! It was excellent. I had a single patty burger with onions and pickles with a side of fries. Everything was fresh, and fries were crispy and hot. The fries themselves won me over. The BLT was also phenomenal. Fresh and crispy, nothing was wilting and warm. If you are looking for a corporate restaurant with robotic servers skip this place. The is a great little hole it the wall. Everything is made to order and prices are more than fair. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite. It’s nothing fancy, but big on character and great comfort food. I will be back.
