Lola’s Restaurant and Lounge in Irving markets itself as Afropolitan restaurant providing authentic African cuisines. You can try delicious Nigerian dishes such as suya (a spicy meat skewer), jollof rice, goat pepper soup and designer stew made from palm oil, fermented locust beans and bell peppers. My absolute favorite is the whole fried fish that […]

Open 365 days a year, this popular dive bar and grill just off McKinney Avenue in the West Village is a hit with all the neighboring apartments, condos and lofts, as well as anyone who’s able to take the McKinney Avenue Trolley. And it’s no wonder The Loon is so popular with folks in the […]
Texans certainly hold their barbecue opinions close to their hearts, and it’s risky business to attempt to fuse barbecue with Asian fare and not upset fans of either cuisine. Under the guidance of Uchi’s Tyson Cole and Franklin Barbecue’s Aaron Franklin, the food at Loro soars. Menu options hopscotch between Asian influences like Karaage chicken […]
This is Loro’s second location in Dallas, near Addison. Here the menu is primarily pan-Asian with touches of Texas brisket. If it sounds like an awkward marriage, it’s not. It’s beautiful. Try green curry hushpuppies with a coconut chili ranch or a smoke prime bavette served with a shishito salsa verde. The sandwich selections here […]
: Like many small, family-owned Latino restaurants in Dallas, Los Torres Taqueria began quietly turning out spicy, heady Mexican cooking right under the city’s nose. Business has been a little slow, said Ramiro Torres, who runs the restaurant with wife Irene and her sister Evangelina, but he notes the weekends have been picking up on […]

The East Dallas restaurant and beer garden is the product of some serious teamwork; restauranteur John McBride (El Fenix), food consultant Sharon Hage and designer Hatsumi Kuzuu (Tei An, FT33 and Sissy’s Southern Kitchen & Bar) have joined forces on the culinary project. The LOT boasts a spacious dining room and bar and an equally […]
Longtime pizza dive has gained national fame, being featured on the Food Network. Louie’s has consistently been one of the city’s best pizza joints. Dark, dreary but also lively. A real honest-to-goodness dive with classic tavern-style pizza.
If you couldn’t already tell by the name, the folks at Love & War in Texas are very proud of the Lone Star State. So proud that they created a bar and grill with Texas as the theme. Located on Grapevine Mills Circle, the road that wraps around Grapevine Mills Mall, the watering hole attracts […]
It’s no secret that Texas, unlike most (or all) other states in this country, is obsessed with itself. You shouldn’t mess with us. We’re like a whole other country. We even have cookware modeled in the shape of our state. Have you ever seen a saucepan the shape of Ohio? That’s what we thought. And […]
Tim Love is quite the superstar chef these days, what with all those Top Chef appearances, cookware collections and mayonnaise endorsements. While he may be best known for his pricy Lonesome Dove steakhouse that serves everything from kangaroo nachos to elk tenderloin, those looking to sample Love’s cooking at a more entry-level price point can […]

Since the first Lover’s Egg Roll opened in 1989, two locations have been added to this fast-food Chinese-American take-out/delivery concern. Overall, it offers everything a lover of the particular cuisine could want, including sesame chicken, broccoli with garlic sauce as well as the expected Hunan and Szechuan standards and typical greasiness. Affordable price points, too! […]
LSA Grandscape is a big restaurant that oozes a relaxed vibe. It’s a two-story affair; on the main floor, tables are spread comfortably apart, and a large bar dominates the back wall of windows, which will open up in nicer weather to a sprawling patio. One thing you won’t see are TVs hanging over the […]
Creative burgers, live bands & a rooftop patio bar in an upbeat setting inspired by Lone Star music.
Lubellas Patisserie is nothing short of amazing. After working in some of the best restaurants in the city, pastry chef, Maria Bacerra, struck out on her own. And for that we are eternally grateful. After entering, you’re immediately greeted by counters showcasing muffins, cookies, scones, macarons, cupcakes, cheesecakes and much more. They also serve sandwiches: […]

Walking into Lucia is much like walking into a home. The hostess (who is the chef’s wife) is genuinely gleeful you’ve arrived; perhaps that makes it better than home. Anyhoo. You’ll definitely want to make reservation. And if the long wait seems daunting, click that box for alerts, which will notify you when there’s a […]
LUCK is one of the latest restaurants to sprout out of the Trinity Groves complex in West Dallas, anchored by 40 taps of local beer. The casual gastropub does its best to emulate a neighborhood hangout, even if the “neighborhood” feels a little thin. If you’re planning to pad your stomach, expect a menu featuring […]
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 […]
