Restaurant in Dallas Observer

This cafe in the Elmwood neighborhood of South Dallas is an ode to fine tunes and single origin coffee. Relax on the couch or work in the spacious back patio area while nibbling on pastries from La Casita Bakeshop.
Eater recently nominated The Slow Bone for a national award honoring bad restaurant names. (It competed in a category for groan-inducing sexual humor.) Dallas chefs were more complimentary, nominating this low-key barbecue spot as one of the city’s 10 best restaurants in an Observer survey of 75 food industry professionals. That might be exaggerated, but […]
The chain, rooted in Atlanta, is attempting to revolutionize the burger industry with its all-vegan ingredients: meats, cheeses and breads included. The Dallas location marks its first expansion into Texas state limits, and we think it’s worth a visit. If not to get a bite of the food, at least to get a taste of […]
This is not your average brewpub, and the changes reach far beyond producing pints of beer that you actually want to drink. Small turns out plates of food that look like they belong in a Stephan Pyles restaurant and then somehow manages to charge you as little as 10 bucks for them. Misti Norris is […]
The first Dallas outpost of a popular Colorado-based chain features some of the best shakes you’ll find in the city. Made with Haagen-Dazs ice cream (and very little mix), they are thick, creamy and will make you miss childhood pleasures all the more. The burgers-smashed, naturally-are meaty, dripping examples of Americana. For a quick service […]

The dining room at this elegant barbecue restaurant fills up at brunchtime – which is a bad beginning to a description of Smoke for two reasons. First, the kitchen does far better work at dinner than at brunch. And second, “elegant barbecue” is not nearly the oxymoron or hipster prank that it sounds. If you’re […]
Smoke Plano is a lot like the first Smoke that opened in West Dallas years ago. They have similar color schemes and logos, and when you walk through the door the smell of smoke and seared meat gives you a nice, warm hug. The two restaurants share a lot of the same menu items, too, […]
Regulars at Smokey Joe’s know that its bricks of fabulously tender and minimally treated pork ribs are unbeatable. And owner Kris Manning’s personal passion happens to be brisket, which might be why his has become the best brisket between Cattleack and Waco. Its balance – not overly smoky, not harshly seasoned, fabulously tender and moist […]
Specializing in hickory-smoked barbecue and home-style cooking, Smokey John’s Bar-B-Que is a Dallas classic.
Every night, Smoky Rose prepares a selection of specials with titles – The Pork Dish, The Fish Dish, The Chicken Dish – which signal both simplicity and pretension. The Fish Dish is a simply seasoned, pan-seared rainbow trout fillet with deliciously crispy skin, set atop an almost too generous heaping of veggie sides. Among the […]
Owned by the gentlemen who brought you South Dallas’ swanky retro bar Cedars Social (a secret agent-themed upscale bar and restaurant), Smyth is a lush cocktail bar with a permeating ’70s vibe. Trained servers do not simply take your orders at Smyth – they seat you in one of the eight exclusive booths, which require […]

Established by former corporate drone Chris Dahlander, this joint aims to man-up salads as a cure to the fast-food lunches frequented by desk jockeys. Sure, you can munch on the usual rabbit food – Cobb, chef’s, garden – but you can also order the Mexican, which includes applewood-smoked bacon, jalape
Since 1996, this bar and grill has been knocking out customers with its lauded chicken-fried steak, not to mention its burgers. Predictable, as is the classic and indie rock-heavy jukebox, we know, but the ravenous droves who populate the place speak for themselves. On the way home from a night of tossing ’em back, a […]
In this city, there are greasy burger joints and there are joints with good greasy burgers. Snuffer’s is one of the latter. The lower Greenville hot spot (other locations are scattered across the metroplex) offers the epitome of hangover relief in a hand-formed patty that is oh-so-guilt-inducing. Made to order, the devil burgers are not […]

The bars in Uptown have typically not been known for exemplary bar food, as most stay well within the confines of burgers and things topped with melted cheese. So&So bucks this trend with its new McKinney Avenue dining room. Sure, there’s a burger on the menu, and even pizza, but the majority of the dishes […]
Whether cool or hot, smooth or be-bop, this Addison club has the appropriate menu selection with which to pair its jazz. Executive Chef Chad Burnett’s dishes serve as a counterpoint to the casual atmosphere. South Carolina hare (confit with Vidalia onion hash, a Tuaca demi and tangerine glaze), big-eye tuna (sesame seared, with jasmine gnocchi, […]
