Ever get a hankering for some pancakes, greasy bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs? How about big sweet beer biscuits washed down by a steady supply of fresh, hot coffee? If so, mosey over to this down-home White Rock Lake-area eatery. In addition to daily breakfast and lunch specials, the Flap & Cluck with Oink (two […]
True to its name, Barcadia is half bar, half arcade, and offers video games from Centipede and Dig Dug to Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat, plus skee-ball ramps and popular bar food. And with 24 draft beers to choose from and ample mixed-drink selections, Barcadia is not far from a Chuck E. Cheese with […]
The Barcelona Wine Bar is a quaint Spanish-inspired spot with a nice large patio just off the hustle and bustle of Henderson Avenue. You’ll need some time to peruse the large wine list; maybe have a sangria while you do that. Be sure to order the grilled bread, whipped goat cheese and potato tortilla. If […]
Barley and Board is a hip Denton spot driven by executive chef Chad Kelley, featuring a small brunch menu with giant blueberry pancakes and a dried fruit and nut porridge for those craving something sweet. The rest of the menu slants savory. Dinner includes small plates, like wicked Gulf oysters and roasted bone marrow, plus […]
It’s no surprise that this Dallas institution is jam-packed with coeds after dark; it’s a beer-pong bounce away from Southern Methodist University. However, the endless rotation of original and cover bands brings in live-show fans from across Dallas. While the kitchen does turn out food, mostly appetizers (e.g., “Totally Fried” Sampler: onion rings, stuffed red […]

After working in Deep Ellum for two decades, co-owner Todd Dickerson wanted to open a space that was a humble neighborhood watering hole with upscale dining options. They say they’re the best seat in East Dallas, BarNone. They have both light fare and meaty burgers. If you go on the weekend, the brunch menu includes […]
The former (and in our minds, original) Carbone’s Fine Foods has been reincarnated as Barsotti’s. The trappings of the new space feel a little more upscale since the remodel, but the restaurant still executes classic and unpretentious Italian fare. Classic dishes like vodka rigatoni or lasagna Bolognese stream through the dining room regularly. Be sure to […]
Pick a schnitzel, any schnitzel. Plano’s strip mall gem, Bavarian Grill, which has offered fine German/Bavarian fare since 1993, is still totally worth the drive north. Their lightly pan-fried Rahm schnitzel with a light cream sauce is divine indulgence. And oh the Spätzle. The fresh pasta is a perfect counter to red cabbage and an […]
This fast-casual restaurant puts a Korean spin on Chipotle, with build-your-own-rice bowls that let you choose vegetables, condiments and other toppings. After the bowls spend some time in the kitchen, your pager buzzes and your creation emerges. Enjoy your hard work with a massive bottle of Hite beer and some friends. There are other Korean […]
This spot is one of the best Pakistani restaurants in the Dallas area, which started in Richardson before moving to Garland in 2018. BBQ King serves some great naan – try it stuffed with spiced potatoes or topped with a showering of sesame seeds and cilantro. These are accompaniments to dishes such as haleem, the […]

Promising fresh, fast, burgers, steaks and sandwiches, this Houston-based fast food chain comes endorsed by Texas Monthly. The massive half-pound patties dwarf typical fast food options, and they should, since a burger here starts at $7.25. The meat is ground in house fresh each morning, and grilled to order – they’ll even deliver a rare […]
Beckley 1115 opened in January 2022 under the guidance of chef and restaurateur Sharon Van Meter, and in 2023 husband-and-wife duo Luke and Geni Rogers bought the restaurant. While Luke works the kitchen, Geni runs the front of the house and has curated a polished wine list of affordable options by the glass or bottle. […]
Bella Flan is a bakery serving Cuban treats in Richardson. Warm pastries include cheese rolls, guava and cheese rolls and strawberry and cheese pastelitos. In the fridge, chilled delights include arroz con leche (rice pudding) in either original and mango, tres leches cakes and their signature leche flan and flan cakes. Savory pastry selections include […]
Ben’s Cookies – contrary to the name – aren’t actually Ben’s. Rather, the European cookie shop is the brainchild of Helde Rubenstein, who started baking cookies at her Oxford home kitchen in 1983. Today, the Ben’s Cookies logo is universally worshiped, with locations around the U.K., Asia and the Middle East. Dallas’ Snider Plaza location […]

Bernie’s is tucked away inside Preston Tower down a dim corridor with no signage announcing it’s even there (none that we saw, anyway), but a visit here plays out like a trip back in time. Bernie’s gives speakeasy vibes. The decor is vintage art deco, the atmosphere is classy and the playlist offers the likes […]
A good place to start here is the biscuit and gravy omelet made with fluffy eggs stuffed with biscuit pieces and topped with a creamy sausage gravy. It’s like the two popular breakfast foods had a baby. And it’s a tasty one. They also have hearty dishes like steak and eggs with an 8-ounce steak […]
From the street, this might look like the average strip-mall pizza parlor, but once inside things change. The tables are covered in earth-tone tablecloths that match the seat cushions. Obviously, some thought went into Besa’s. That by itself distinguishes Besa’s from most slice shops in town. The counter service is still there, as are the […]
Maurice made a mess, a delectable, delicious mess, which he spilt all over Beth Marie’s old-fashioned floor. OK, so you can only assume this kind of occurrence helps dessert connoisseurs come up with creative nicknames for their one-of-a-kind concoctions. Beth Marie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream probably didn’t name its Maurice’s Muddy Mess flavor after a […]
