Maurice made a mess, a delectable, delicious mess, which he spilt all over Beth Marie’s old-fashioned floor.

Fries and onion rings are both indulgent and tasty sides, but if you can’t decide between the two, just go for the co-star basket and sample […]

Black Swan Saloon was the original cocktail bar of Deep Ellum, but sadly shuttered when the pandemic hit. Then, four years later, like a dark winged beauty, it rose in East Dallas – with the same Clint Eastwood velvet artwork. Happy tears were shed. The city wept.

The meal to have at this area favorite is the Mexican breakfast buffet. Families in their post-church Sunday best line up for the omelet bar, and Tex-Mex offerings such as the chicken and mushroom enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce and waffles. The rest of the menu, with as many ingredients locally sourced as possible, is […]

Boxcar is our favorite new bar in Dallas. Hands down. This tiny sliver of a space is fashioned to look like a old-timey luxury passenger train car. Instead of actual windows, TVs line the walls all synced to passing landscapes. Elegant and mysterious (who knows where you’re going!), the only thing this spot needs is […]
