Big Al’s offers them big and smoky for the grizzled workingman. The eponymous sandwich comes with two meats wedged into a po-boy bun. The meat combos extend to the dinners. How about a three-meat meal of turkey, chopped beef and ribs? Everything is served cafeteria-line style, but the station hands are at the disposal of […]
Targeted at Asian-American millennials, Big Claw’s menu encompasses Chinese street foods, noodles and stir fries. The fare spans numerous regional cuisines, but it’s all delicious. Using a pencil, mark your order directly onto the paper menu, and be sure to choose at least one rice noodle dish – the noodles are perfectly tender and served […]
It’s not easy to put “seafood” and “cheap” into the same sentence, unless you’re talking about fish balls and chum. But Big Fish manages to juggle these terms on the same menu – successfully for the most part. Oysters are good, crab legs are killer, and the shrimp cocktail is brilliant. Yet sometimes things are served […]

Fresh oysters, clams and crab legs and an inland-oyster-bar atmosphere make this a festive spot, especially when the longnecks are flowing on the patio. The fried catfish (served with fat fries) is some of the best in town: crispy and greaseless. It’s a mecca, too, for crawfish lovers. The signature shrimp cocktail is made with […]
Rowlett sure found star quality when Big Star came to town. Fresh, juicy and well-seasoned burgers are tough to beat, but the Buffalo chicken sandwich is a proven winner. Fries and onion rings are both indulgent and tasty sides, but if you can’t decide between the two, just go for the co-star basket and sample […]
Why West Philly? Well, that’s where Anthony “Big Tony” Blaylock is from. He graduated from Temple University, which explains the college memorabilia at some of his mini-chain’s locations, and got experience in the restaurant business by working at local rival chain Fred’s before opening his own cheesesteak shop. Big Tony’s imports bread loaves from Philadelphia, […]
The Iraqi restaurant Bilad is a neighborhood institution. The superb bakery got its start turning out excellent samoon bread from Iraq and trays of delightful desserts like pistachio puffs and baklava. Bilad has an excellent kitchen serving Iraqi specialties, including some of the region’s better shawarma and falafel, zhug (an acidic hot pepper sauce), fresh […]
For a certain kind of tourist or visiting family member, this fancified, all-frills saloon in Victory Park is a guaranteed hit. It presents a dressed-up, Wild West atmosphere that verges on kitsch (and, in the name, crosses that verge), while serving up food and drink vastly better than the gimmick might suggest. An adventurous, affordable […]
Bin 555 has a kids’ lounge–Wii, Xbox, Playstation, Net surfing, kid movies and chicken fingers and mac and cheese and so on (don’t you dare eat it in the lounge). But it also has wine and savvy bistro food like asparagus with fried egg, veal meatballs with vanilla bean and grilled quail served on bed […]

Birdie’s Eastside, a patio-centric restaurant that still pays homage to its former Luby’s cafeteria roots, with a little bit of something for everyone. Want to bring the children and let them burn off energy in the kids-friendly play area? Done. Looking for a meal with several friends who all have different palates? Birdie’s can help. […]
The Bishop Arts District is home to over 60 Independent boutiques, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, theatres and art galleries. Located in the heart of North Oak Cliff, one of Dallas’ most unique neighborhoods.
Bistro 31 tries to offer two things at once with their Highland Park menu: Salt cod croquettes, escargot and steak tartare cater to the neighborhood’s well-traveled jet setters, while grilled salmon and a burger appeal to those safe-eating Dallasites who have never left home. Prices skew high, with $27 lamb loins and $16 Kobe beef […]
Bistro B (Authentic Asian Cuisine) is all kinds of awesome. It’s delicious awesome. It’s cheap awesome. It’s scary awesome. It’s “Aww, dammit, this Thai iced tea has those chewy brown gelatin bubbles in it. Why am I chewing a drink? This is wrong” awesome. Bistro B is, in fact, the Cheesecake Factory of Asian cuisine. […]

Bizzy Burger is located in North Dallas near Addison and is only the second location for the team which has plans of changing the way Americans consume burgers. This spot, near what used to be Valley View Mall, is very clean with minimalistic décor. Inside there is a touch of urban-chic art on the walls […]
The interior is small. Dark accent paneling climbs halfway up the red brick walls, which are adorned by a handful of flat-screen TVs. A copper-top bar spans the entire space, and two clear garage-style doors divide the interior from the half-covered patio, where most of the seating is. The menu, like everything else, is German-themed. […]
Black Swan Saloon was the original cocktail bar of Deep Ellum, but sadly shuttered when the pandemic hit. Then, four years later, like a dark winged beauty, it rose in East Dallas – with the same Clint Eastwood velvet artwork. Happy tears were shed. The city wept. The signature house cocktails, Black Swan Classics, boilermakers and […]
Black Tap is an American-style eatery on designer steroids. The first location was New York City’s SOHO neighborhood with a mere 15 seats. There are locations in Las Vegas, Dubai, Singapore, Geneva and elsewhere, and Dallas makes 19 globally. Owner Julie Mulligan says her team spent a lot of time exploring Dallas before opening this […]
