This is arguably the best Brazilian “espeto corrido churrascaria,” or continuous service grill house, in the area. The space is palatial, if a bit banquet-hall-esque, the salad bar is ample and relatively fresh and the skewered meats, served by gauchos with wicked carving knives slipped into their belts, are for the most part juicy and […]
As the name implies, this is a crustacean capital-in the middle of Koreatown-replete with nautical decor. Request a pile of seasonal crawfish, shrimp, snow crab and/or clams and shrimp. Gussy it up with any of the three seasonings available or throw them all in for The Whole She-bang (Rajun Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter). If […]
Bolla is chef David Bull’s (late of the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Iron Chef gladiator, Mansion alum) interpretation of “modern” Italian. The cuisine is careful and exacting, though its strokes of originality sometimes come across more as mesmerizing charms than as means to flavorful ends. Risotto stumbles and pork diavolo confounds while duck leg confit […]
Just the concept of local ingredients trucked in from the farm every day, the reliance on organic meats and vegetables, and the ever-changing menu would be enough to attract enough of a following to sustain this small Oak Cliff station. But the kitchen is pretty damn good too-even without a deep fryer or walk-in freezer […]
One of Irving’s top places for chaat is Bombay Chowpatty, named after a beach lined with street food vendors. The dining room showcases some of that airy atmosphere, with seats arranged food-hall style around a central open kitchen and many of the walls plastered with beach photos and Bollywood posters. Pav bhaji is a superb […]

Mike Leatherwood’s tiny chain of breastaraunts can be summed up in three keywords: barbecue, beer and beauties. The latter are called “Daddy’s Girls,” and serve the former two items while clad in tight-fitting clothes. Surprise, surprise: The main clientele are men sucking down cold ones and hickory-smoked ‘cue, like the three-meat house platter with two […]
When you enter Bongo Beaux’s, you’ll hear sounds of accordions and fiddles from the Zydeco music playing in the background and see gold, purple, and green accents all over the place. The stuffed raccoons playing a serious game of Bourré are an awesome addition. And the most eye-catching piece of décor is the giant mural […]
If you’re looking for a well-made baguette, the Village Baking Co.’s Boulangerie is a good place to find one. If you’re lucky, you’ll witness the baker pull several from the oven as you walk through the door. Not everything is quite that fresh, but everything you see was baked that morning, from the croissants to […]
This quaint French bistro in the Bishop Arts District has one of the best brunches in the city, a celebrated wine list, phenomenal French cuisine and a stellar oyster program. It almost feels arrogant of them to also have one of the best bars in the city. And, yet, here we are. Every Friday from […]

In the historical Dallas home of Ahab Bowen, you can brush with a bit of local history while you slam back a few cold beers. It’s located conveniently in uptown Dallas, in, well, an old house. The drink menu tends toward the upscale, with a classy wine list and an assortment of beers in draft, […]
Go ahead. Play with your food. Dallas’s newest modern American tavern is designed to delight the most discerning foodies and beer connoisseurs – while offering a bowling experience unparalleled in the DFW Metroplex. Boutique bowling wouldn’t be complete without an exceptional dining experience. Bowl & Barrel serves up an impressive selection of appetizers, entrées, salads […]
Bowl Games is is a sporting lounge with a restaurant and bar. If you like to both watch and participate in a little competition, this is a great spot for groups or dates. There’s a long bar with more than two dozen craft beers on tap – many local – along with a full bar. […]
Addison’s 300 Dallas is a 45,000-square-foot entertainment destination featuring pool tables, video games, air hockey tables and more than 30 “state of the art” bowling lanes. Featuring the “Xtreme Bowling” lighting and sound system, with music video screens at the end of each lane, 300 Dallas is not your grandpa’s bowling alley. There’s a full-service […]
Bowlounge isn’t cheap, and with ancient scoring machines that seem to miscount pins a few times every round, it’s not for serious bowlers. But the lanes, pin-setters and scoring methods salvaged from an East Texas alley facing demolition give off such a comforting nostalgic vibe that a little bit of scorekeeping chaos is easily overlooked. […]
Boxcar is our favorite new bar in Dallas. Hands down. This tiny sliver of a space is fashioned to look like a old-timey luxury passenger train car. Instead of actual windows, TVs line the walls all synced to passing landscapes. Elegant and mysterious (who knows where you’re going!), the only thing this spot needs is […]

Brass Ram sits above National Anthem in the East Quarter, and short of small gold lettering on the door opposite National Anthem’s entrance, there’s little in the way of signage to let you know you’re at the right spot. Brass Ram is a take on the prime rib steakhouse, and where Town Hearth offers the […]
Who wants ice cream in the middle of winter? We want it when it’s 100-plus degrees, when our thighs stick to the patio chairs and nothing sounds better than cold refreshment. Sure, you can get a grainy, chemical-tasting shake at some fast-food drive-through, but why would you when many Braum’s are open till 11 p.m.? […]
A friendly and casual bakery-café with a French bistro feel shelling out generous portions, Bread Winners is a Dallas Observer favorite. Cakes, pies and pastries are made fresh daily, perfect for those on the go or for noshing on the brick patio. It’s difficult not to arrive and find the place packed-especially during brunch, when […]
