Yummy!!! Each plate I have received has been great! The time it takes to make the food is a little long.... But worth it! I am thankful that the food is all made fresh to order (why it takes a while to prepare) with freshly prepared ingredients ! The service is also very welcoming. Thanks. Yall!!

Stopped in and decided to try one of their vegan options. Ordered the vegan chicken and waffles. Absolutely delicious. Definitely surprised how palatable everything was. The food is seasoned and cooked to perfection. I watched the chef plate my food and he definitely takes great pride in the entire culinary process. The service was awesome. I sampled the vegan pound cake and the apple cobbler pound cake. Both were amazing but I settled on the strawberry pound cake. Definitely worth every penny. This will be one of many visits.

I enjoyed the omelette here with the seasoning on top. Coffee was strong and tasty. The place is inside a combination thrift market/food truck area.

We are from Colombia and we had not seen this place because it does not have any advertising and the truth is that it was incredible to eat here, what delicious food and the service was incredible, thank you, we enjoyed it a lot

5 out of 5 for Shelton! The food is mouthwatering and the customer service is top notch. In a city that’s hard up for vegan options, Sheltons is a beacon of light! My meal was SO good I came back 2 days in a row and I will continue to swing by when I’m in town. The reason I gave 5 stars is because EVERYONE can enjoy this place. Yes! They have something for Vegans/Vegetarians and Carnivores. The cook puts his heart and soul into the food and you could tell with every bite. They also have electronic ordering from 2 screens in the front or if you have questions about the menu you can speak with the main cashier who is just as wonderful as he can be. His personality really shines and you can tell he too, loves working there. Don’t sleep on Sheltons cause this IS IT Honey!

Randomly found this place last minute while visiting my mother searching nearby table service lunch spots. I didn’t know anything about this joint food and shopping venue, so I was a little skeptical but the reviews were to consistent not to try... How grateful I am Shelton’s was the choice! Food was absolutely exquisite!!! Shelton was a one man band yet he had the flavor and creativity in his food of 10 chefs cooking. My Mother and Aunt are suuuuuuuper particular with food so I was a little nervous. There batting average for returning food is .811. They absolutely loved it. If I had travelled all the way from Frisco to DeSoto just to experience Shelton’s it would’ve been worth it! We had the Chimmichuri Steak and Salmon bowls, pancakes, burger and fries, and the fruit drinks. All absolutely delicious! He was efficient and accommodating handling multiple orders at one time. While there was a small wait, we were blown away how quickly he was able to get such detailed food on our table. The venue is similar to Legacy Hall in Plano on an entry level hometown scale. It is charming and all the vendors are super friendly, grateful, engaging and happy you are there. We will be returning!

As a French toast enthusiast, I was a little hesitant about trying the French Toast Sandwich, but wow it was amazing! The crispy turkey bacon, fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and perfectly cooked French toast came together like a breakfast masterpiece. The seasoned potatoes were just as good! I also grabbed a vegan chocolate cake, and I still can’t believe it was vegan it was that decadent. On top of the delicious food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back probably sooner than they expect! If you love a good breakfast, this is a must-visit!

That pancake breakfast bowl was just right! From Pancake ,sausage , & from the goat cheese. They mix that season with the goat cheese on top of the sausage and pancake is a very good taste.
