Occupying the longtime home of the Blue Goose Cantina on Greenville Avenue, Goodwin’s is already an instant neighborhood go-to. Inside is lovely, with art-deco meets mid-century lux style, and the food menu, with playful riffs on classic American bar-and-grill, fare is chock full of winners. In the back is the Goose Bar, a nod to […]

In a year, Goodwins has become a Lower Greenville staple, like it’s always been there. Its speakeasy, Goose Bar, is easily one of Dallas’ best-kept secrets. While technically accessible through the dining room, getting there feels like a bit of a maze. Instead, slip through the exterior black door marked with a golden goose. Inside, […]
Spawned by the same hatchery that brought the world The Cheesecake Factory, but with a potent Las Vegas insemination (note the contingent of huge angels mounted on the exterior wall curvature like medieval gargoyles and the gilded arches in the high ceilings), Grand Lux Cafe offers a menu as voluminous as a legal services bill […]
If you’ve had a few, just tell your ride-share driver to take you to “the glowing green one,” and they’ll likely know to drop you off at The Green Elephant on Dyer Street. When you walk in, underground bass will get under your skin, forcing your best dance moves right out of you. You’ll likely […]
Mostly we lean toward off-the-beaten-path bars, speakeasies and low-key places with quirky personalities. Happiest Hour is none of those. This is that one friend who is always in your face, “You’re having a damn good time, like it or not.” It’s a great spot to pregame for anything at the American Airlines Center, which is […]

The Heights occupies the spot that once housed the beloved Legal Grounds coffee and breakfast destination. But Chef Karin Porter has transitioned the place nicely, serving solid and tasty American and Southern fare like potroast and chicken pot pie. Breakfast is hearty, too–retaining one holdover from Legal Grounds: their much loved granola pancakes.

The Henry is a beautiful space that is great to see and be seen at. The menu was “carefully curated to please the Texan palate with its Southern flavors and flair” but there are plenty of Asian flavors going on here, from Korean prime skirt steak with double-egg fried rice, bok choy, snow peas, pickled […]
The original Henry’s Majestic (and its secret speakeasy, Atwater Alley) was a popular restaurant, bar and brunch spot in Uptown for 18 years until its building was sold in 2022. Early in 2024, Henry’s was reborn in West Dallas, and everything about the new venue feels like an upgrade. There’s the massive courtyard that doubles […]

After being forced to turn his restaurant into a to-go sandwich shop during the pandemic, chef Rich Vana has brought The Heritage Table back to its former glory, where it sits among the best farm-to-table restaurants in the area. As part of the reopening, Vana focused his team on using all parts of each animal […]
Because the restaurant world was out of gimmicks, now there are restaurants based on the paleo diet. The latest is HG Sply Co., which capitalizes on another trend – dropping letters from restaurant names like teenagers’ texts. The massive dinning room is wrapped in brick and warm wood, and accented by small white subway tile […]

Good thing the food’s so delicious at Hibiscus, since the portions stretch the limits of the word gargantuan. A baked crab dip app at this New American eatery could easily feed four, while the prime strip “brick” weighs in at an impressive 18 ounces. But the cooking isn’t nearly as ham-handed as the brutish sizing […]
The Hideaway is a dive bar with a touch of live-wire spirit. From karaoke to college football, it goes hard and might not be the best place for lightweights. Daily food and drink specials keep things affordable, but the regular menu isn’t by any means obscenely priced either. Play pool or sign up for karaoke, […]
It’s difficult for any place to get any more popular than being christened “America’s Cafeteria” by The New York Times. Since first opening in 1925 under the ownership of Sallie “Mother” Goodman and her son Dewey, Highland Park expanded to several locations and became destination dining for an entire nation before downsizing to one family-owned […]
