While Mudhen isn't nearby (or at least not walking distance), it's our favorite restaurant in Dallas so of course it makes the list. Mudhen is located in the Dallas Farmer's Market and has IMO the best brunch in town and an awesome patio! Be sure to get the chocolate mousse if you go for dinner. (Gluten free menu available.)

Paleo inspired menu and SO good. There's nothing on the menu we haven't liked. Be sure to ask for the grilled avocado and malanga chips that are not on the menu. Yum. Also, this restaurant isn't in Lakewood, but it's not too far away. (Gluten free menu available.)
