This Old East Dallas cafe is exactly what you’d expect from a neighborhood restaurant. There are chicken-salad sandwiches, turkey melts and meatloaf. There are eggs and bacon and pancakes and other breakfast items, served all day like every good cafe should. They have fresh fruit, fresh drip coffee and fresh baked desserts too. What you […]

Condiment bars allow customers to mix and match at will, usually creating a more pleasant dining experience. That’s what Gazeebo Burgers is going for, meaning service is at a minimum. It pretty much ends after ordering the signature half-pound Gazeebo, an Old Fashioned Cheeseburger or the Gobbler with mushrooms and Swiss cheese turkey burger. The […]
When Gemma opened, it was a Dallas pioneer, bringing along the dressy-casual seasonal cuisine from co-owners Allison Yoder and Stephen Rogers’ last home in Napa. In 2023, they updated the space and refreshed the menu with American, French and Italian comfort foods, although they kept some of their best hits like the rabbit on pappardelle […]
Genki is Japanese for energy and vigor. It is those qualities that the restaurant’s conveyor-belt sushi presentation puts to the test. It’s easy to stare wide-eyed at the yellow, blue and red-rimmed plates and want nothing more than to attempt to clear the belt. Pace yourself. There are more than enough volcano rolls to go […]

The very best dish at Genroku Sushi, a strip mall find in Richardson, isn’t sushi. The basil chicken, served in the wok in which it’s cooked, is a fabulous exposition of fresh basil, chopped ginger, star anise and soy sauce. Like the sea clam soup and scallion beef, the chicken dish references the restaurant’s Taiwanese […]
Chef R.J. Yoakum studied at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry, and his arrival in Dallas coincided with a stylistic change to the former Knox Henderson steakhouse. Celebrity chef Curtis Stone’s name was quietly dropped, and Yoakum turned the menu on its ear. Gone are boring takes on steaks served at inflated celebrity chef prices, replaced with […]
Ginger’s is a subterranean cocktail lounge in the historic East Quarter. It opened as the speakeasy attached to the Sushi | Bar, but over time it has gained traction as its own entity. It’s possibly one of the only glamorous bars in Dallas that encourages you to “come as you are” rather than enforcing a strict […]
If you don’t want to head out to the suburbs to get your German fix, a newcomer to the Knox-Henderson neighborhood offers a taste of Bavaria. Glass Boot Biergarten is a place to drink beer, first and foremost. They have large mugs and boot-shaped glasses that they’ll fill with a small selection of German beers, […]

While owner Gloria Rubio is Salvadoran, she certainly knows she’s in the Lone Star State and knows that most of us have a special place in our stomachs for Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. That’s why the menu here is split pretty much down the middle between the foods of her Central American homeland and local […]

Get your insulated coffee mug, sunscreen and folding chairs. You’re going to need them for the line at this newly annointed No. 1 barbecue spot in Texas by Texas Monthly. We were able to snag a spot in line and after not too long of a wait (just a couple hours), we learned what all […]

Instead of dining out at the latest concept from big-money out-of-towners, we much prefer local spots that feel like part of their neighborhood. Goldie’s in Northeast Dallas is a prime example of why this works: The space is dark and cozy, the service is attentive without pretense and the menu is tidy and compact, which […]
The Goldmine Family Restaurant is the epitome of a greasy spoon: cheap breakfasts, worn-out booths, waitresses who will probably call you “honey,” plenty of elderly regulars nursing their sixth cup of coffee. Biscuits are fluffy, bacon is crisp and you will definitely never bear witness to the bottom of your coffee cup. Unlike many restaurants […]
Owner Virgil Sanchez’s breakfasts, especially his Western omelette and reputedly hangover-curing John Wayne Breakfast, inspire a cult following. Lunch and dinner include grilled cheese, enchiladas and lasagna.
Since 1973, Gonzales Restaurant has been dishing out traditional Tex-Mex and Mexican eats in a festive setting. There is a blue-tile bar and Southwestern geometric designs decorate the walls with colors straight out of a Frida Kahlo painting. Patrons dine on lengua almendrada, cabrito guisado, nopalitos con puerco and other house favorites as well as […]
