The idea is simple: give Dallas an affordable place to hang out. With 15 beers and some cocktails on tap, it’s a laid-back place to stop for a drink or three, and really the perfect place to spend a Sunday Funday guzzling mediocre (yet well chilled) brews and playing backyard games.
Shoppers at the Galleria have a new dining option: Kabuki Japanese Restaurant, a California franchise specializing in “Japanese cuisine and mixology,” according to a press release.

The Rube, named for Kansas City Negro league baseball player Rube Foster, is a hoagie-shaped vessel for a mountain of burnt ends style rib meat crumbles. Its simplicity is its beauty and it tastes better than it looks, adorned with house-made pickles and two stripes of sauce.
Behind the patio and open garage door of Social Pie is a dark dining room lit only by a single chandelier. The low lighting and the outside air make this an intimate place to have dinner, and the pizza and cause behind it make it worth returning. There’s a simple…
If there’s one thing Dallas knows, it’s burgers — you’ll find one on almost every menu in the city. With so many options, it can be hard to find the right one. Whether you’re looking for a Wagyu burger, veggie burger, turkey burger or even a burger taco, these are…

Grayson Social, Dallas’s newest Southern eatery, serves up haute Southern cuisine, cocktails with some decidedly bizarre twists, and a private members-only “social club” in the heart of Downtown.
You know those sad stand-up comedy bars? The ones that smell like nachos and dead-end careers? Don’t go to any of those. Go to Oak Highlands Brewery instead, where they will host the Brew-HaHa Comedy Series. For $20 (in advance, $25 at the door), a ticket to Brew-HaHa gets you…
My first experience at the Flying Fish was an accident. I had taken my family to Fort Worth for the day and we wound up desperately seeking out a casual (read: affordable) lunch spot open on a Sunday afternoon somewhere near the museum district. The Flying Fish beckoned like a memory of…
At first glance, barbecue and brunch might seem incompatible. Truly, who wants burnt ends at 10:30 a.m.? Texans. Texans want barbecue for brunch. Because to a Texan, the smell of smoked meat can be worn like Chanel No. 18, and the ways of the grill are law. So when 18th…
Despite the fact that much of the nation has long since moved on from this debate, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has continued to be a vocal opponent of transgender Texans using the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity. Some Texas legislators are doubling down on their anti-trans stance,…
Dallas’ newest double cheeseburger indulgence is a double-whammy: The Cow + Pig, a house-ground brisket and bacon patty. In other words, bacon is blended right in with the beef. Even sitting at the bar of the shiny-new Stirr makes it obvious this Deep Ellum spot isn’t skimping on the details. A bottle of Dom…
Bill Smith’s Café is a little less than two miles north of the heart of downtown McKinney, but the 60-year old restaurant is a world away from the city square’s trendy downtown restaurants and shops. First of all, it’s easy to miss. The outside resembles a small abandoned strip mall…
All-American is a series that looks at beloved, longstanding North Texas eateries and examines their history while exploring how the food has changed — for the good or bad — over the years. The line moves quickly at Bubba’s Cooks Country. Right in the middle of lunch rush, I’m waiting…
Full City Rooster has been roasting coffee beans in the Cedars neighborhood for the past three years, opening for very limited hours and hosting food pop-ups on weekends.

On Sunday mornings and afternoons, a line snakes out the door at Kirin Court, Richardson’s beloved dim sum institution. On weeknights, the strip mall’s parking lot keeps jam-packed with dinner crowds. Kirin Court may have tradition, an elegant atmosphere and pretty good food, but its dim sum isn’t always worth…
One of the city’s best barbecue joints is a spot that plays hard-to-get. Cattleack Barbeque smokes up incredible barbecue, but up until recently, they’ve only been open for lunch on Thursdays and Fridays. But last month, Cattleack began testing the waters by opening on Saturdays and serving up a barbecue…
Across from the Dallas Arboretum in East Dallas, a new spot is in the works: Smoky Rose, “a chef-driven smokehouse in a relaxed garden setting,” according to a press release: The new neighborhood-dining destination aims to provide a comfortable experience with a relaxed interior, large patio, open smokehouse and beautifully landscaped…
There’s been a lot of negativity about the Dallas restaurant scene in recent months. Between fears of an economic bubble, complaints about “Fickle 500” diners, the growing encroachment of valet parking, reports of mediocrity in fine dining and harsh reviews for such swanky kitchens as Uchi and Flora Street Café, it’s…
There are a ton of bar and restaurant openings right now as we get ramped up for the holidays, and so far, there have been a lot of great additions to the Dallas dining scene. Here are a few of the best new bars and restaurants you should check out…
