Hutchins is one of the best all-around barbecue joints in the area with locations in Frisco and McKinney. The appeal here is that everything across the board is excellent, from the thick slices of fatty brisket to the banana pudding for dessert. The original McKinney location is a no-nonsense, old-school dining room. A bonus is […]
Heavily influenced by the legendary Voodoo Donuts in Portland, Oregon, Hypnotic trailblazed the off-kilter doughnuts movement in Dallas. Tucked away in a strip mall near White Rock Lake, the interior resembles a cozy ’70s basement, complete with shag rug and retro color scheme; a comfy couch is the perfect place to curl up with a […]
The ice creamy sister of Hypnotic Donuts, Hypnotic Emporium is an old-school soda fountain, candy shop and ice cream spot in East Dallas.
Self-serve yogurt shops have escaped the corridors of suburban malls. This Preston-Royal cool spot is one such place. Here, there are 16 flavors, ranging from the tried and true (old-fashioned vanilla) to the gaining in popularity (New York cheesecake). Also available are 24 toppings options including the fresh and healthy (mango), the nostalgic (gummy bears) […]
New Yorkers George Itoh (by way of Wisconsin) and Andy Tam moved to Dallas after falling in love with the Deep Ellum neighborhood, eventually opening their restaurant in late 2018 in the spot previously occupied by Tanoshii. Start with the age mochi for an appetizer: a deep-fried mochi rice cake with dhoyutare sauce and ao […]

Southern restaurants are all the rage right now, and Ida Claire steps into the fray with her version of shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles and jalape
Very good steaks and fair-to-good seafood in an atmosphere of cowboy excess. This huge grand hotel-like restaurant must be experienced at least once.
First, there is the location. Deep Ellum practically craved a restaurant like Il Cane Rosso to arouse a sense of “dining-destination” resurgence. It’s a casual restaurant suitable for everything from date nights to young families to special-event get-togethers. The surprisingly spacious dining room has a polished bohemian feel to it, which befits the restaurant’s location. […]

The specialty here is extraordinary noodles, handmade to order. Place an order for beef noodle soup or minced pork noodles and the chef appears at a long, prominently placed counter, forming dough and flamboyantly teasing it out to great length. He slams the dough against the counter, spins it out mid-air and tugs it all […]
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 […]
Although it’s not a crowded field, Inca’s stands out as the DFW area’s best Peruvian restaurant. Don’t expect anything fancy, however: This is home-style South American cuisine, served in a Spanish-speaking atmosphere with live music-also in Spanish-on many weekends. Wish they would add a few more potato dishes, aside from the classic papa rellena. Their […]
With a European comfort food concept, Independent Bar & Kitchen is a monumental addition to the Deep Ellum restaurant scene. The restaurant has a gorgeous front patio for diners and windows that open wide. The dining room has a to-die-for antique mirror and a stunning ceiling of engraved black tiles. There are 20 brass beer […]
This versatile North Dallas eatery seemingly does it all, from killer chaat – street snacks – to Desi-style pizzas topped with curry spices and paneer. The chaat is some of the area’s best, and probably the finest within Dallas city limits, but it’s the crisp-bottomed, warmly spiced pizza that has won our hearts and occasionally […]

One of the most – if not the most – highly praised Indian restaurants in Dallas, this Preston Valley eatery has been going strong since 1985. Owner Pardeep Sharma hasn’t let popularity, accolades or history diminish the quality of the food here, say diners and critics alike. Of course, there is a lunch buffet offering […]
In the former space of Green Papaya, this is the latest concept from chef Michael Huynh. It’s an elegant and inviting place with ’60s era French music setting the easy-breezy mood. Here you’ll get East Asian flavors of traditional dishes along with modern takes all infused with French flavors.
Delicious, exotic, startlingly good food is served in this stark but tasteful little suburban Japanese dining room.
