This North Dallas spot defies expectations, going beyond typical Middle Eastern restaurants to give diners something new to chew on. And that’s not at the expense of authenticity. The scent of sumac wafts up from the plate of sirloin beef, and nuts and fruits are used effectively to create complex dishes with plenty of character. […]

Outpost American Tavern brings affordable, comfortable bar food to a section of Oak Cliff that needed a decent bar. The new restaurant, housed in the building that used to host Campo, sports dark wood tones and dim lighting for a cozy, casual feel that’s suited to the menu. If you’re looking for decent food that […]
Ozona Bar and Grill is named after the tiny, unincorporated West Texas town of Ozona. A town that happens to be the one-and-only town in all of the vast expanse that is Crockett County, and whose motto happens to be “The Biggest Little Town in the World.” So Ozona’s a fitting name for a bar […]
This isn’t exactly the cheapest deli in town, as its location might imply. However, P.D. Johnson’s has going for it what most sandwich chains don’t: personal service and a gimmick that doesn’t involve some guy who lost weight eating only their product and who is only filmed from the mid-torso up. The selections at P.D. […]
How many diners know that the giant, 11-foot-tall stone horses flanking the entrances of many P.F. Chang’s symbolize the original Forbidden City in China, which was built for China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huangdi? Or that the restaurant’s founder, Philip Chiang, is still this successful chain’s consultant, and author of its current menu? People probably […]

Italians’ answer to Baskin-Robbins, Paciugo’s got waaaay more than 31 flavors. This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 […]
This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 percent less fat than typical ice cream. Try up to three […]
Pakpao brings a little culture to the Design District, where the cuisine of Thailand is presented with bold and spicy flavors. The restaurant takes no reservations, but turns tables relatively quickly, while a small bar area provides beer and cocktails for those who are waiting. When you do get your seat, order aggressively. Many of […]
If you’ve grown tired of Tex-Mex, there’s a solution on Lower Greenville Avenue. Amidst the auto shops and gas stations at the intersection with Henderson Avenue, Palapas Seafood Bar sits in a nifty-looking hut with thatch-roofed patios. Do your best to sit outside. The scenery isn’t the best but the vibe is. Music softly plays […]
Originally opened in New York City in 1926 by Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi (and still owned by their descendents), the Palm brand has taken root from Los Angeles to San Juan. The Dallas branch is smack dab in the West End. The house specialty is the Nova Scotia lobster available up to six pounds. […]

This plush bistro is a survivor from the days when the Crescent Court was the It Location. And it has weathered very well: steady service, strong drinks and a menu that sometimes shows signs of chain-age (it is, in fact, part of a Seattle-based restaurant chain), but most times ranks with the city’s top destinations. […]
Chef Kevin Ashade calls himself “globally trained,” and that education shows itself on a menu that hops across the world, with flavors of France, Jamaica, Asia, West Africa and the American South. Ashade became a champion on Beat Bobby Flay by topping the celebrity chef’s recipe for coq au vin, and Pangea’s recreation of that […]
Paparazzi Pizza’s location is anything but glitzy, cozied up to a dry cleaner shop in a Carrollton strip mall, but the menu is more adventurous than you’d expect from a neighborhood pizzeria. Of course, it has all the usual suspects like pepperoni-topped pies, calzones and sub sandwiches, but the real standouts here are the Mediterranean […]
Like all Pappadeaux locations in the family-owned Pappa’s chain, this one serves swimming-yesterday fare. There’s a little of everything under the sea – clams, oysters, shrimp, catfish. Steak and chicken are included to round out the kitchen’s offerings. The fresh-food philosophy extends to the tartar sauce, which is made from the house mayonnaise. As is […]

Ask anyone who’s lived in Dallas long enough and they’ll gush about the service at Pappas Brothers. The old-school steakhouse has been a Dallas fixture for more than 30 years, harkening an era when fine dining meant a trip to restaurant row. The setting has changed some, and now strip clubs outnumber fine dining restaurants […]
There has to be a reason to brave these lines–even on a particularly crummy Saturday afternoon–and it’s the fajita plates, big enough to choke a Chihuahua. Beef fajitas, perfectly tender (not tenderized) and abundantly spiced, are the best we’ve tried in Dallas. Another standout is the chicken fajitas and quail (served together), the latter of […]
