 Norma's is a little Oak Cliff diner where the popular biscuits and gravy and chicken-fried steak are on par with the friendly, veteran servers. This joint is replete in typical greasy-spoon trappings: counter service, vinyl booths, regulars on a first-name basis and a bountiful menu. If you're... More >> |

 Walking into Oddfellows, on the Bishop Arts District restaurant row, the place all but purrs relaxed, bohemian cool. There's nothing faux about the overhead exposed ducts and factory-worthy hanging lamps. The wall art is kitschy, with a clear provenance in some of the finest metroplex garage... More >> |

The spotlight here is on the shredded brisket as thick as a fist, barely containable by its... More >> |

 One of the few restaurants with a dedicated parking lot and a decidedly -- and unusual -- un-garish paint job, Chanos is a moderately sized counter-service eatery where children dart to and fro and folks slurp (not to mention praise) the menudo, which is available seven days a week.

 Sweet-as-pie owner Ms. Jan serves it up spicy. Proper West Indian vittles just roll that way. There's a smile, and then there's flame shooting out of your ears. Case in point: the jerk chicken wings with rice and cornbread. The real treat here is the oxtail, which is available most of the time.... More >> |
