Founded in 1987 by the two Touris brothers, immigrants from Greece, there are now four Chubby’s locations in the metroplex. The restaurant’s name refers to what you would probably become if you became a regular, addicted to the Southern/Texan, Tex-Mex, and Greek delights served here. The regulars are legion and enjoy the cuisines presented through […]
Here you’ll find the city’s best chicken and waffles, along with some of its best gravy with plenty of black pepper. Breakfast is served all day, but don’t skip the sandwiches like the super-tall club sandwich or the macaroni and cheese that’s full of love and no fanciness. In 2022, they expanded with a second […]
The large, ’50s-style diner serves great sandwiches, salads and veggie tacos, but the real draws here are the crispy outside, juicy inside chicken-fried steak and chicken-fried chicken and hot cornbread. Fresh, steamed vegetables are served on the side and vary by day, but staples and favorites are always available, including the potatoes mashed with skins […]

The diner on West Davis Street has been a bustling favorite of Oak Cliff residents since 2010. It’s so casual that it feels like a relief from the rest of the restaurant world. Honestly, isn’t it nice to eat at a place where the employees aren’t told to wear uniforms?
When Oddfellows brought in chef Anastacia Quiñones to introduce a dinner menu, Bishop Arts had no idea what it was in for. The all-day-breakfast diner, famous for coffee, waffles and hipster patrons, is now even better at dinnertime. Indeed, the fabled brunches that drove gentrifying Oak Cliff types to stand in hourlong lines Sunday mornings […]
Off-Site Kitchen moved to Trinity Groves recently, but don’t think for a second that the casual burger restaurant lost one drop of its greasy charm. The new location is just like the old location, just with a lot more tables, games to keep you occupied and a beer cooler that runs the entire length of […]
Originally opened by the parents and grandparents of Jimmy Vergos in 1954, this diner is as authentic as diners come. The owner is Greek. (Everyone knows the only diners worth their salt are owned by Greeks.) The place has gone through several permutations, even suffering closure during the 1980s. The current incarnation, opened in 1989, […]
