Across the street from Town Hearth, The Charles is nearly as over-the-top a place to see and be seen, even on Monday nights. It’s all about the spectacle here – including cheetah-print booths and a memorably wallpapered bathroom. The menu here is unlike any other Italian joint in town, thanks to chef J. Chastain’s constant, […]
Big Easy transplants the McGuinness clan opened Dodie’s in 1989. They serve family-inspired recipes that are a gumbo blend of Cajun and New Orleans cuisine. Expect mudbugs and shrimp in all their permutations and several po-boy options, such as catfish, atop checkered tablecloths. It’s got all that, plus families, surrounded by a mishmash of beer […]
Progeny of longtime Dallas restaurateur Charlie Venetis, Charlie’s Opa! Grill is a rich cacophony of Greek food, sprawling the gamut with deliciously tender lamb chops, flaky spanakopita (a savory pie), juicy grilled chicken, gyros carvings that are lean, rich moussaka (Greek lasagna) and saganaki, thick pie sections of lightly breaded Romano cheese that is deep-fried, […]

Chennai breaks the mold of the stereotypical suburban Indian restaurant with clean, modern décor, and thali options instead of buffets. Every meal must be ordered off a sprawling menu that may contain significantly more dishes you don’t recognize than ones you do. This is a good thing. The more obscure preparations are the most robust, […]
Chet’s is an Irish and American pub serving classic fare from both sides of the pond. The restaurant sits on the corner of Elm and Market Street, near a DART station making it an easy spot to grab dinner before a game or concert at the American Airlines Center. The menu has some of the […]
Chicago-style hot dog scene was started by two Chicago-area transplants, and that pedigree definitely shines through. It’s a small spot with a tiny dining area, practically no seating and limited parking, attached to an auto body shop to boot, but that’s all part of the charm and makes it very reminiscent of hole-in-the-wall hot dog […]

You could almost pretend you’re in your friend’s backyard when you’re hanging out here. The east side of the courtyard is framed by the two buildings that house the restaurant and bar. To the west, shipping containers that once sat stacked on railcars have been reinvented as furnished front porches. To the north is an […]
Deep in the maze of warehouses, industrial plants and nightclubs along Harry Hines Boulevard, Chilangos serves a short menu of tacos along with spicy elote cups and horchata. The interior is a chic tribute to Mexico City, with the ordering counter made to resemble a street or market stall, Topo Chico bottles converted into flower […]
This East Dallas Chilangos Tacos locations is much like the original: brilliant unfussy tacos.
