There was a time, not so long ago, when Wylie residents who were craving a good brunch would have to leave town to find it. We are happy to report that’s no longer the case, and locals can now stay in town when brunch cravings hit. Here are Wylie’s best brunch spots (eggs Benedict, anyone?).
Ferah Smokehouse and Cantina
Ferah Smokehouse & Cantina, located at 950 Westgate Way in Wylie, knows a thing or two about how to brunch. With a full bar serving specialty cocktails, fantastic, friendly service, and a chef-inspired menu, the restaurant is a great place to bring friends and family when you’re craving something just a little out of the ordinary. Weekend brunch is served from 11 AM until 3 PM and features specialties such as Brisket Eggs Benedict, Salmon Avocado Toast, and the Cowboy Skillet Breakfast. Another treat to look forward to at Ferah’s weekend brunch is $2 mimosas.
Frankie’s Casa
Ask any Wylie local where to get Mexican food, and there’s a good chance Frankie’s Casa in historic downtown Wylie will be the first thing out of their mouth. Known for their premium margaritas and robust menu loaded with Mexican favorites, Frankie’s also does a number on brunch. Enjoy outdoor seating (which includes big-screen TVs in case the Cowboys are playing!) and some of Frankie’s favorites, like Breakfast Tacos, Brisket and Eggs, or everyone’s favorite, Breakfast Enchiladas (three enchiladas loaded with breakfast sausage and cheese, covered in hollandaise sauce, served with a side of Mexican potatoes sauteed with onions and cilantro).
Bold BBQ Pit
Bold BBQ Pit in downtown Wylie isn’t always open for brunch, but when it is, you’re going to want to swing by. The barbecue restaurants is known for its traditional Texas BBQ with some unexpected twists (like blue cheese coleslaw and brisket egg rolls), and they know how to do breakfast justice. Bold offers the occasional brunch, with holiday brunches being particularly popular. The 2025 Christmas brunch included such specialties as smoked meat breakfast tacos, sausage biscuits and gravy, breakfast potatoes, and of course, pancakes. Check in with Bold regularly for information on the next Bold brunch.

The menu is plentiful, and you’ll have a time picking between offerings like Banana and Nutella Crepes, Bacon Avocado Omelets, and Chilaquiles.
