A Truly Memorable Dining Experience at Origin Kitchen and Bar I had the pleasure of dining at Origin Kitchen and Bar on the recommendation of my dear friend, Richard Roper, and I can say without hesitation—it was one of the best meals I’ve had in Dallas. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. Armando, our server, went above and beyond—including having a special honey mustard made just for our table. That kind of attention to detail is rare and speaks volumes about the culture of hospitality here. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the personal attention from Chef Scott. Not only did he take the time to visit with us at our table, but he also came back to check on us multiple times throughout the meal. He shared his philosophy about expanding the boundaries of what healthy scratch food can be, and after tasting the dishes—it’s clear he's doing exactly that. The organic ingredients and overall quality of the food were outstanding. Every bite tasted fresh, clean, and carefully crafted. I requested several custom changes to my salad, and not only were they accepted without hesitation—I was even offered more customization options than I had imagined. That’s rare and speaks to a level of hospitality and culinary confidence that is truly special. It’s hard to find a place where the food feels authentic, deeply nourishing, and leaves you feeling like you just enjoyed a meal at home with a private chef—but that’s exactly the magic of Origin Kitchen and Bar. I can’t wait to return and try their breakfast next. If you’re in Dallas and value great food, warm service, and thoughtful innovation in the kitchen, this is a must-visit.

Staff is friendly and attentive. Menu is vast and I want to return to try more. I had the BYOBowl and it was delicious, but I made it rather pricey with add-ons. Oh well it was good. Had a Dirty Chai Latte that was a good chai flavor. And the did the chips and guac starter which was also really yummy.

The atmosphere is a vibe by itself. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and everyone was very attentive and pleasant. The food was delicious! We ordered the biscuit and gravy sandwich and almost ordered a second. Also ordered the steak and eggs. It came with a sweet potato hash that was top notch. AND they are an allergen friendly restaurant! I can't wait to go back!

The food, perfect. Atmosphere, lovely. Service, started off wonderful. We were abandoned by our server after he took our order, we both tried to get his attention and failed while he took care of tables around us. We never recieved refills on drinks or a check in on how the food was. In the end I had to go grab someone to get our ticket and a to go box. On the way out he told us to have a blessed day. Very confusing experience.
