Similar to other hotel restaurants’ dining rooms, the one at Knife in the Highland Dallas is fairly quiet on a Sunday morning. It has a convenient enough location at the southeast corner of Mockingbird Lane and North Central Expressway, but this isn’t a time in Dallas when hotels are destinations…
Mago’s Cafe is a family-owned Mexican restaurant opened in the spirit of the now-shuttered Emilio’s Cafe, a favorite for residents in The Cedars. Emilio’s, which originated as Tejitas in Oak Cliff, was owned by Emilio Lira and stood at South Ervay and Corinth streets for more than 16 years. The…

M&O Station Grill in Fort Worth is attached to a museum about a department store and subway. It results in a trip down memory lane and a full meal of a towering burger.
On the sixth day, Popeyes Louisiana Chicken created a sandwich. They rested the day before, having built monuments of MSG in the people’s bloodstream. Next, Popeyes, in its infinite wisdom, rolled the sandwich out nationwide. It’s out there, lurking, for $3.99, and it’s an awe-striking thing — a stupendous two-hander…

We had many questions about Chubby Cattle, a Plano restaurant that boasts “conveyor belt-based hot pot.” How does conveyor belt hot pot work? Does the broth come in a little train tanker car? Do meat platters arrive in a cascade of tiny little dishes rolling along the belt? Is it true, as…
After cooking as a private chef for Oprah Winfrey for many months, chef Eric Dreyer is returning to Dallas. You may know his food from Fearing’s Restaurant, where he worked 11 years and left as executive chef. Now he’s just a bit south in the Arts District, where he will…
Budget Bites is a series that looks for the best food and drink deals at restaurants in DFW, because being on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t eat out. Veganable: It’s a word you probably haven’t heard before, but one you might get used to. That’s how ThaiBinh Ho is…
Thai restaurant by Tony Street family opens in West End of Dallas
Sandwiches are Kaci and Robert Lyford’s second business. Their first was roving the state and country with buckets of paint. He’d been a chef since pre-Y2K, a graduate of ye olde culinary school, and, somehow, they ended up with an interior painting business. A few things happened next that sent…
Say what you want about Uptown — and many of our commenters do, sometimes using variations of the words “douche bag” — but there are some long-standing neighborhood stops you can walk to that still provide a decent meal. State and Allen Kitchen and Bar is one of those places…
Budget Bites is a series that looks for the best food and drink deals at restaurants in DFW, because being on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t eat out. Onion rings have always been an acceptable substitute for fries, and over the years, onion rings on a burger have easily become…
To celebrate its 11th anniversary, Eno’s Pizza Tavern has an 11-day throwback menu through Sunday, July 21. It opened July 11, 2008, and to commemorate the date, the team came together to develop a menu that brings back some all-time favorites. These include a pantry pub boy sandwich (chicken salad…
A new generation of restaurants is rising in Carrollton’s Korea Town. Across the parking lot from the traditional soft tofu stew shops, dumpling counters and barbecue houses, two recent openings offer unusual spins on Korean-Japanese and Korean-American fusion foods. At Kurobuta Ramen and Tonkatsu, “super spicy” ramen and cheese katsu…
This has been a bad month for Mille Lire, Oak Lawn’s criminally underrated Italian restaurant. On June 30, co-owner Brian Ellard, wife Ornella and her two teenage children were killed in an airplane crash in Addison. The restaurant kept its doors open after the tragedy and Ellard’s co-owner and brother-in-law,…
Chef Kenny Mills reopened his famed Chop House Burgers earlier this year in a small, low-key spot at 2502 Little Road in southwest Arlington. Mills cut his teeth in Dallas steakhouses — Capital Grille, Sullivan’s and Dallas Chop House — before launching Chop House Burgers in 2011 near UTA. A…
The construction team shovels crumbles of scalding hot asphalt into a divot in East Louisiana Street. Just past old downtown McKinney, Cookie’s Mexican Food’s lights are on, despite the street being carved up, and the open sign is askew in the window. Their access, the road near the main thoroughfare,…
Every so often, it’s good to revisit a place you know, an established place that you know will be reliable. Go to enough consecutive bad brunches, and this is a nice break. That break came recently at Fearing’s Restaurant in Uptown’s Ritz-Carlton. It’s a little snazzy and pricey, but it…
Every four years or so, Daniel Vaughn and his team of barbecue cohorts at Texas Monthly publish the TMBBQ Top 50, a veritable who’s who in Texas barbecue. When the latest list was published in 2017, we were happy to report that DFW laid claim to 10 of the top 50 spots…
It’s easy to forget what Dallas lacks until you try a good version of it. At least, that’s what a recent trip to Happy Eats reminded us. The unassuming storefront with a cheesy — or straightforward — name has a dense four-page menu, but what you can really focus on…
