Old Hickory Steakhouse is newer and fancier than its name implies. Just like the Gaylord Hotel it resides inside, it’s pretty grand, with a circular staircase, leather booths, lots of dark wood and a granite bar with a fireplace.

The Old Monk on opened in 1998 along Henderson Avenue and has been a Dallas staple since. Generations have given this place their days, sipping dark beer through the night, followed by brunch behind big sunglasses in the morning. Their fish and chips are tops in the city. The bar has draft beers from around […]
Though the interior is done in chain-restaurant monotony, the food here-driven by chef Brian Olenjack (Chisholm Club, Reata, Metro Grill, etc.)-is a cut above most any Americana you can think of. Southern and Southwestern grace notes make antelope ribs, striped bass, crab cakes-even a simple bowl of greens-must tastes. And how often can you say […]
This tiny University Park outpost serves genuine Neapolitan pizza pies smoldered in a brick oven fueled by split oak. Housemade tomato sauce (secret process) is simmered from tomatoes imported from Italy. Housemade mozzarella too. Crust is thin, crackly, moist and pillowy in all the right places. When the ovens and cooks are riding on the […]

Everyone knows Olivella’s for their pizza. The Dallas-based franchise has been serving up Neapolitan and Roman-style pies since 2006.

Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a more sophisticated, yet still casual dining area and […]
On Premise delivers what can only be described as a unique dining experience to its Deep Ellum customers. Metal gears and the dim glow of antique light fixtures loosely evoke a set for a steampunk film, with high-back chairs and Victorian couches adding to the theme. This is the backdrop for cliché dance music, but […]

The fare comes courtesy of […]

The current incarnation, opened in 1989, […]
