Hops and Hens is a casual and fun concept with lawn games such as Jenga, Connect Four and washers. Its menu of fried chicken sandwiches and tenders boasts a unique brine with hops and brewer spices and homemade sauces on chicken tenders and sandwiches. Their Texan fried chicken sandwich is topped with barbecue sauce, bacon, […]
Hot Pizza Dallas opened in Dallas in early 2021, infusing Indian flavors into the world of Italian pizza. Even though it’s a curious combination, it’s surprisingly good. Since opening, the small spot has gained quite a large fan base of pizza lovers, Indian food enthusiasts and just plain curious foodies. The menu at this low-key pizza spot […]
Eating in this renovated 1906 Victorian mansion cum boutique hotel is pure alchemy; you won’t be the same once the last creamed crumb passes your lips. Dining room seams bulge with turn-of-the-century French antiques oozing lace and candle flickers. There’s a New Orleans-style courtyard, lit just enough to milk shadows from the recesses and brush. […]
Generally speaking, if something’s happening at House of Blues, you know it’s big. This temple of sound housed at the White Swan Building in Victory Park has enough room for 1,625 patrons. Folks in the music bizz often rub shoulders behind the ropes of the VIP area, scouting for the next big thing. This is […]

Hearty American fare is front and center at Houston’s. Beloved classics like ribs and burgers are favorites here — “here” including restaurants as far flung as New York City, where locals are prone to pronouncing it “Howston,” like the downtown boulevard. But in Dallas, general manager Matthew Gottlieb knows how the name is pronounced and […]
We have an aversion to artificially tenderized meat, MSG and slimy sauces. We have exclaimed to many people that it’s extremely difficult to find reliably good Chinese food in Dallas. Then, on the recommendation of a friend, we found Howard Wang’s, at Northwest Highway and Midway streets. The first thing you notice is the sleek […]
Hugo’s Invitados is Mexican “influenced” cuisine with a focus on locally sourced and organic ingredients. There’s not a single bowl of queso on the menu. How about some ceviche fresco instead? Hankering a plate of nachos? You’re in luck, they’ve got those and they come topped with smoked salmon, a herbal avocado puree and mango-habanero […]
Hugo’s Lost Colony the second concept to be named after co-founder and managing partner, Hugo Miranda, who opened Hugo’s Invitados in 2018 in Irving. Natalio Charles is the executive chef and head of culinary creation, a position he also held at Invitados. Here he serves Tex-Mex favorites made with fresh, natural ingredients, with a few surprises. The chicharrón-crusted […]
These two Hugos in the Bishop Arts are a problem. The cocktail program is as equally impressive as the plates steaming out of the kitchen. Saying it’s a bar with great food, or a restaurant with great drinks, is a disservice to both. We prefer to linger at the bar over several drinks and small […]

If you find generic bro-bars slightly depressing, Humperdink’s may not be for you. Sports bars can be hit-or-miss, but chain sports bars inevitably seem to have a manufactured enthusiasm, as if they’re all designed from a blueprint with blank areas that say “Install local sports team banner here.” Of course, none of that matters after […]
The bartenders at this sports bar/brewpub will do something for beer geeks that most other beer-selling establishments won’t: They’ll sell you growlers (64-oz glass jugs) of their brews. Since 1976, this original location of the small local chain — then known as Original Dallas Sports Restaurant & Sports Bar — has offered customers camaraderie and […]

A hot spot in Plano’s growing Chinese food scene, Hunan Bistro packs in customers looking for rustic specialties from its namesake province. Garlic cloves remain whole in stir fries, chopped-up chile peppers pile high, and some form of braised pork is on nearly every table. Whole croaker fish get fried without batter until their skins, […]
This barbecue spot in Arlington is synonymous with the phrase Mexicue. Since his early days of pop-ups, owner Brandon Hurtado attributes has flavor and style to his father’s Mexican roots. The result is nothing short of fantastic. Go for the El Jefe Platter to experience a broad range of flavors. It’s loaded with prime brisket, […]

Hutchins is one of the best all-around barbecue joints in the area with locations in Frisco and McKinney. The appeal here is that everything across the board is excellent, from the thick slices of fatty brisket to the banana pudding for dessert. The original McKinney location is a no-nonsense, old-school dining room. A bonus is […]
Heavily influenced by the legendary Voodoo Donuts in Portland, Oregon, Hypnotic trailblazed the off-kilter doughnuts movement in Dallas. Tucked away in a strip mall near White Rock Lake, the interior resembles a cozy ’70s basement, complete with shag rug and retro color scheme; a comfy couch is the perfect place to curl up with a […]
The ice creamy sister of Hypnotic Donuts, Hypnotic Emporium is an old-school soda fountain, candy shop and ice cream spot in East Dallas.
