The small menu here reflects the predominantly fried All-Stars of Texan and Southern cuisine. There’s fried chicken and chicken-fried steak. That’s the entire selection of main dishes at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. No joke. And that’s a relief to see in a market chock-full of Southern/soul food shops slinging what seems like infinite permutations on […]

The small menu here reflects the predominantly fried All-Stars of Texan and Southern cuisine. There’s fried chicken and chicken-fried steak, natch. There’s fried catfish and pot roast. There’s fried chicken tenders and smoked chicken. That’s the entire selection of main dishes at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. No joke. And that’s a relief to see in […]
Persistent chatter and clanking silverware signals that you’ve found one of Uptown’s more promising dining spots in Baboush. Hummus and babaganoush are safe plays, served with plenty of warm pita for dipping, but the entire menu warrants attention. Shrimp and chicken kebabs and other street plates deliver bites that push conventional Moroccan cooking while staying […]
A half slab at this barbecue joint means seven baby back ribs kissed with smoke, spiced with pepper and just-right tender: The meat doesn’t fall off the bone, but pulls off with the gentlest of tugs. It just narrowly beats out the boudin plate as our favorite order, but the boudin (here spelled boudain) is […]
The world would be all the better if it were filled with more trompo taco fans. To make a great trompo taco, the vertical spit has to spin, but at many places business isn’t steady enough to keep the contraption in motion. Not so at Bachman Tacos and Grill, where tacos are a necessary add […]

Beef’s the star at this upscale eatery, but the kitchen staff thankfully strays into the dairy section of the food pyramid to do miraculous things with liberal doses of cheese. The manly menu includes a terrific appetizer of Romano-encrusted crisp-tender asparagus; bacon-wrapped shrimp crammed with cheddar; “that salad,” featuring brandied cherries and crumbled Oregon blue; […]

This location is in the Old Town Shopping Center and offers the company’s signature salads, like the Santa Barbara, Texas Cobb and Asian-inspired Kowloon.

The pink pig signage lures barbecue devotees to this palace of smoked pork. The rustic interior accentuated with red-and-white checker oilcloth tables gives the restaurant a ‘cue shack feel. Stepping into Baker’s Ribs is like stepping into a roadside barbecue joint. The signature St. Louis-style ribs are tender. However, the brisket is almost as much […]
Originally a local Houston phenomenon, Bamboo House opened the doors to its first North Texas location.

Thai food at Bambu isn’t the sloppy affair it sometimes becomes at greasy pad Thai joints: The best dishes at this neighborhood nook are startlingly sophisticated, reflecting a respect for top-notch ingredients and a steady command of the grill. The restaurant hews to the Isaan style of cooking associated with Thailand’s northeastern region, and the […]
This far North Dallas spot is probably more neighborhood than destination, but tasty dishes and charming decor keep it in the game. Fried rice dishes come out quickly, which might raise an eyebrow, but fluffy rice with tasty chunks of pineapple and chicken was a surprise and relief. The grilled chicken smothered in peanut sauce […]
With a no-frills menu of basic Thai options, Bangkok City is one of the most consistent stops for Thai food in the metroplex.

The Gambaccini family hails from Lucca, Italy, that beautiful city in Tuscany famous for its Renaissance walls and tordelli lucchesi, a bright yellow pasta made with eggs that is similar to ravioli but always filled with a mixture of meat, usually beef and/or pork, and sauced with a rich meat ragu. After originally emigrating to […]

Bar W is a new sports bar along Maple Avenue across from The Stoneleigh, where The Stoneleigh P long lived. The crowd leans toward college sports fans, except when Love Islandis on (love is a sport, many would say). They have a lot of space for big crowds both inside and out, with TVs packed […]
