Showing 221 - 242 of 1698With a collection of specially commissioned sculptures and a dining room that’s literally a gold bar on the side of a skyscraper, Bullion is one of the most ambitious restaurants Dallas has seen in years. It’s also one of the best, with a deep cast of talented chefs producing elegant, but not pretentious, updates on […]
Open since 1951, this landmark is the oldest Dallas burger joint, where you can get hamburgers, hot dogs, flavored Cokes, shakes or malts.
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, […]
This concept is owned by the same group that manages Dock Local. They started this spot during the pandemic as a barbecue to-go spot. When they consistently sold out, they decided to go full bore and open a restaurant. Their ground coffee rubbed smoked brisket has a deep flavor and goes beautifully on their tacos […]
Bushi Bushi is a quaint dim sum restaurant that opened in 2021. They offer a broad range of dim sum, plus a menu of entrees. Robots run orders out to tables, making for a unique experience. The crispy shrimp balls and char siu and sure shots here. Plus be sure to get a an order […]

If there’s a better lunch buffet to be had in Fort Worth, we haven’t found it. Byblos lays out a delicious spread of Lebanese and Middle Eastern specialties in the Stockyards, including chicken roasted in lemon juice and herbs; a savory rice dish, Dajaj Bil Riz, with chunks of chicken, finely ground sirloin and a […]
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, […]
The longstanding Hardeman’s is now owned by Cory Toney, though he kept the old brick pit, the hickory wood and several veteran staffers. The brisket is rich with smoke, just as Hardeman’s fans remember. But C.T. added soul food to the list, from acquired tastes (think chitlins) to some of the city’s best catfish.
Cabritos is the star at the only full-on Monterrey-style, goat-grilling show in the Dallas area. Stare through the glass kitchen wall at the massive pit, above which goat legs, shoulders and ribcages stand like planted flags, then feast on one of the cuts alongside charro beans and the restaurant’s excellent salsas. Few make-your-own-taco experiences in […]

The homemade terrines are memorable, and most other dishes will at least set you to talking – although at review time they were still working out […]
