National & local comedians plus magic acts at casual nightspot dishing up steaks, sandwiches & more.
Beckley 1115 opened in January 2022 under the guidance of chef and restaurateur Sharon Van Meter, and in 2023 husband-and-wife duo Luke and Geni Rogers bought the restaurant. While Luke works the kitchen, Geni runs the front of the house and has curated a polished wine list of affordable options by the glass or bottle. […]
For a certain kind of tourist or visiting family member, this fancified, all-frills saloon in Victory Park is a guaranteed hit. It presents a dressed-up, Wild West atmosphere that verges on kitsch (and, in the name, crosses that verge), while serving up food and drink vastly better than the gimmick might suggest. An adventurous, affordable […]
At the end of a modest strip mall on Gaston Avenue sits Cry Wolf, where the fare is anything but unassuming. Chef Ross Demers’ technical skill and finesse are on full display here, with a menu that changes depending on what Demers and team can get in that week. Think of the menu sequentially from […]

Bacon-wrapped cipollini are irresistible and the fried oysters may rank as the best in all of DFW.

Smoke Plano is a lot like the first Smoke that opened in West Dallas years ago. They have similar color schemes and logos, and when you walk through the door the smell of smoke and seared meat gives you a nice, warm hug. The two restaurants share a lot of the same menu items, too, […]
Every night, Smoky Rose prepares a selection of specials with titles – The Pork Dish, The Fish Dish, The Chicken Dish – which signal both simplicity and pretension. The Fish Dish is a simply seasoned, pan-seared rainbow trout fillet with deliciously crispy skin, set atop an almost too generous heaping of veggie sides. Among the […]
Let’s get one thing clear right away: “Town Hearth” is not at all a cozy den for the people to gather about for warmth; either metaphorically or physically.
