BarNone

After working in Deep Ellum for two decades, co-owner Todd Dickerson wanted to open a space that was a humble neighborhood watering hole with upscale dining options. They say they’re the best seat in East Dallas, BarNone. They have both light fare and meaty burgers. If you go on the weekend, the brunch menu includes […]

Bizzy Burger

Bizzy Burger is located in North Dallas near Addison and is only the second location for the team which has plans of changing the way Americans consume burgers. This spot, near what used to be Valley View Mall, is very clean with minimalistic décor. Inside there is a touch of urban-chic art on the walls […]

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer

Black Tap is an American-style eatery on designer steroids. The first location was New York City’s SOHO neighborhood with a mere 15 seats. There are locations in Las Vegas, Dubai, Singapore, Geneva and elsewhere, and Dallas makes 19 globally. Owner Julie Mulligan says her team spent a lot of time exploring Dallas before opening this […]

Bobbers Burgers and Whips

Located inside The Exchange food hall at the AT&T Discovery District, Bobbers Burgers and Whips offers flamed-grilled burgers, hot dogs and fries. Queso plays a prominent role on the menu and should be slathered on everything. The ooey-gooey pimento cheese burger is strongly recommended. They also serve the vegan pineapple dessert made famous at Disney […]

Burger Island 2

If we were stranded on a desert island, the meal we’d likely be left longing for is, without a doubt, a nice juicy burger. With that in mind, Burger Island in Richardson seems appropriately named, despite its lack of proximity to any major bodies of water. Hidden in a strip mall behind a Taco Bell, […]

C. Senor

The Cubano sandwich at the little Oak Cliff hut is fantastic. The roast pork is shredded to strings and fatty and juicy. The ham is sliced thick, the cheese is melty and those pickles tag-team the taste buds with a healthy dose of mustard for a much needed punch of acid. Despite it’s Caribbean flavor, […]

Capitol Pub

With an extensive draft and bottled beer selection, dartboards and dark wood, this watering hole has must-stop written all over it. This is further proven by the barhopping mobs along the stretch of Henderson on which Capitol is located. Lunch is served Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. There is a Sunday brunch […]

Chip’s Old Fashioned Hamburger

Chip’s Old Fashioned Hamburger is known for its juicy, one-third- to one-half-pound burgers served up on poppy-seed-encrusted buns. Add-ons range from the typical (caramelized onions, mushrooms, bacon) to the slightly more exotic (guacamole, fried green tomatoes or poblano peppers). Fries are fairly standard, but skin-on and well-seasoned, and the habitually indecisive will be pleased to […]

Christies Sports Bar & Grill

When the soup of the day is “mimosas” and sangrias come in towers, you know you’ve found home. Not to mention the spicy and tropical F*** It Bucket. And while we all loved (sometimes too much) their original Uptown location, their new spot has a large outdoor space; every seat on their patio, rooftop and […]

Dairy-Ette

East Dallas has a healthy dose of drive-in burger joints. Dairy-Ette, open since 1956, is just one of the fine examples of a bygone era frozen in time — and neon. Here, care is not only given to the burgers but is also given to the thin, snap-in-your-mouth fries and homemade root beer (as in […]

Fat Daddy’s Burger House

The common Dallas thin patty has no home here. Fat Daddy’s serves up them up big and juicy at half a pound with seasoned steak fries and drinks in a checkered paper-lined basket. The hand-formed burgers and the varied toppings and condiments bar are only part of the allure of this family-friendly Casa Linda restaurant. […]

Goodfriend Beer Garden and Burger House

The saying goes that friends are the family you get to choose. Local bars are like this, too, and Goodfriend is that kind of bar. Dubbed a Beer Garden and Burger House, it brings something new to a section of East Dallas that’s been ready for change. An impressive cedar pergola outside coupled with a […]

Herby’s Burgers

Take a seat at Herby’s burgers and experience American food at it’s greatest. Whether it’s the Herby’s secret sauce or the secret art of fluffy grilled cheese bread, Herby’s burgers offers a one-of-a-kind twist to burgers and fries. Their menu includes a classic Herby smash burger (add-ons available at ordering), Jake Saenz’s Famous Grilled Cheese, […]

In-N-Out Burger

The California chain restaurant has been serving up burgers since 1948. The menu is simple with literally only three burger options to choose from, the hamburger, cheese burger and double-double. The fun comes from ordering off-menu-items like the “2×4”, a burger with two beef patties and four slices of cheese, “Animal Style”, a mustard-cooked beef […]

J’s Breakfast & Burgers

“20 Years and Still Cookin’” pretty much nails J’s. It’s amazing so many people can eat all that weighty American goodness and live for that long. It must have something to do with the food, cheaper than last night’s grease and the “kiss my grits” staff. Operating ’round the clock (making it a good place […]
