This is the second location for Fortune House – the original is in Irving. The menu is the same; go for any of the dumplings and you’ll leave happy. Aside from those little pillows of happiness, they serve fun cocktails (tiki and martini espresso) along with the Chinese standard hits like fried rice, orange chicken […]

In recent years, Oak Cliff has experienced an influx of great bars and restaurants, most of them popping up in the Bishop Arts District. But just north of there, in the space formerly occupied by Jack’s Backyard, the owners of Bolsa and Smoke have opened The Foundry. The sprawling yard is enclosed by open boxcars […]
Four Corners Brewing Co. has come a long way since the 5-gallon home brew system it started with an over a decade ago. Its large brewery in The Cedars neighborhood hosts their manufacturing facility and a well-adorned taproom (we love the upside-down lamp installation overhead). It offers one-of-a-kind beers brewed on a smaller experimental seven-beer […]
It rests in the thick of the backcountry; at the end of a twisty driveway, wood fencing lining its flanks. There’s a gazebo, a long porch and a few oaks sulking in the breeze, plus a 15-acre pond filled with bass This is Dallas steak dining as envisioned by Zeus and executed by former Del […]
For the young business and college types, it’s an English pub without the grit. Light wood tones and the image of the horse-mounted hunter execute a clean, well-lit interior reminiscent of a traditional pub, but carpeted and much larger. Flat-screens line the walls with larger sets above the bar, broadcasting whatever game suits your fancy. […]
Much about Foxyco is unexpected. Its location is unlikely, of course, but so is the clientele. Most surprising of all, the restaurant is pairing light, summery cocktails with a defiantly big-flavored menu of fried appetizers and meaty, char-grilled main courses. At times, the restaurant risks going one novelty too far. The kitchen centerpiece is an […]

Fred’s Texas Café has been around since 1978 serving spectacular food, beer and live music, but lately it might seem a little out of place. A few years back, the cultural district was developed into shiny, new upscale wine bars and theaters. An offer was made to buy the land under Fred’s and turn it […]
Deep Ellum has had its share of Cajun- or Creole-inspired restaurants over the years. But The Free Man, opened in the summer of 2011 by John Jay Myers, has a formula that might make the bar and restaurant a Dallas mainstay. The dinner service, which features traditional Louisiana dishes like jambalaya and gumbo, is accompanied […]
Freebirds World Burrito is a counter-service eatery with a sense of humor. From its décor (handmade aluminum foil figurines line one wall) to its menu (burritos come in sizes such as “monster” and “super monster”), Freebirds fosters an atmosphere of fun. And with all the options available, ordering a burrito at The Bird is like […]

The French Room is still The French Room. In fact, it’s more The French Room than it had been in decades. A no-expense-spared restoration has returned the dining room to the elegance of its original look, closer to the way the restaurant appeared when it opened in 1912. Head Chef Michael Ehlert and his team […]
Frida’s Tacolandia is decorated with many a Frida Kahlo portrait.Kathy Tran Frida’s Tacolandia is the vibrant turf of Albertina Martinez and Vianey Sotomayor, who opened this shop in August at the corner of Polk Street and Kiest Boulevard in Oak Cliff. It is also the unofficial realm of artist Frida Kahlo, whose portraits keep watchful […]
“Kick Ass Schnitzel,” the menu description read. “Ja! Ja! Ja! Hey, Bubba. Still feel Macho, Try me. I am a lonely Pork Loin covered in a Fresh Habanero Garlic Sauce and can’t move. ‘Beyond Spicy!’ Eat Me!! Don’t hate me. ‘Angel Soft’ not included.” With a menu item like that, who could resist? The Kick […]
Sometimes it’s hard to get excited about a hotel restaurant, if only because many bank on lazy guests who don’t have the energy to travel far for dinner. That’s not the case with Front Room Tavern, where chef Taylor Kearney’s cooking is as worthy of destination dining as it is a convenient, if indulgent, meal […]
Dallas needed an FT33. In fact, it needs more of them – restaurants where chefs are not only brave enough to think outside the box, but also diligent enough to do it well. Places like this shift a city’s dining culture for the better, and they’re also a lot of fun to visit. Where else […]
Much talked about taco stand in a gas station/convenience store should be experienced by everyone at least once-preferably at 2 or 3 in the morning. No seats, so you stand by your car and eat some of the better (when the meat is just off the grill) tacos around.

With a menu as big as the namesake mountain standing sentinel over Tokyo, Fuji offers something for everyone, from the neophyte making short forays into foreign cuisine to the old pro looking for something new to gobble. The appetizer menu is proof enough. It includes gyoza dumplings and grilled yellowtail collar, a delicacy. The kitchen […]
Where Fujiyama lacks the flash of Uchi, the intimacy of Yutaka or the reputation of Tei Tei Robata, it more than makes up for it with some of the best sashimi and nigiri in the area, and getting them doesn’t require an hour’s wait for a table. Fujiyama’s talented chef Ilon Suhr and his high […]
