Lefty’s specializes in Yankee-style seafood served in a cheerful, friendly place with great good will. The lobster dinner–a one-pound lobster, baked potato and corn on the cob–gets the good-deal award, the chowder is excellent, and fish specials are dependable.
Legacy Hall in Plano has it all. It’s a hub for live entertainment, bars and restaurants that seats more than 400 people, with additional standing space to hold up to 1,200.

What’s a coffeehouse without a witty name? This cafe is lined with law books. Paintings and sculptures further accentuate the intellectual ambiance. The dark tables and chairs, including wing chairs, continue the theme of attorney David Musslewhite’s shop, opened in 1997. The menu offers the usual cafe options — pastries, cups of java, tea, breakfast […]
Owner Khoa Nguyen has created an Asian fusion restaurant that doesn’t feel like a “fusion” restaurant. Instead, Nguyen has toyed traditional dishes while retaining authenticity to provide diners with “refined Vietnamese” — his words. The Vietnamese rib-eye carpaccio appetizer is an example of this. The thin slices of steak are presented in the authentic Vietnamese […]

If you’re not in the West End Dallas scene, what are you doing at this point? Kidding, kind of, but avenues are opening for people to find their way into the- what once was- culture rich section of Dallas. Today the revival is real, starting in restaurants just like this one- The Liam’s Steakhouse. The […]
This Lower Greenville staple since 2006 is known for its thoughtfully curated draught beer selection and stellar bar food, attracting both foodies and tipplers alike. Brunch on their spacious patio should certainly be on your calendar. The playlist is always great too, consisting mostly of indie rock music. Hopefully, they’ll soon be able to get […]
The first Liberty Burger opened back in 2011. Famed for both fresh ingredients and long lines, Liberty’s ethos (which you can even find under the tab marked “Ethos” on their site) is “without quality there is no value.” That may sound like a more business-oriented version of the Jedi Code but the ethos also focuses […]

The Library Bar offers patrons a relaxing, dimly lit piano-bar environment in a laid-back library setting — though […]
One of the most upscale Peruvian experiences is one of the best, too. Lima Taverna is all the more surprising for its location, one enormous parking lot away from the half-empty Collin Creek Mall in Plano. Seafood lovers will be in heaven with a bowl of pescado a lo macho – salmon buried in shrimp, […]

The Limon family’s Veracruzan kitchen sits well outside the spotlight with locations in the west side of Oak Cliff and Grand Prairie, which means Dallas at large is still hearing the good news about their exceptional garnachas, mole veracruzano and picadas. Be careful with the enchiladas verdes: There are habanero peppers in the salsa, and […]
Liquid Zoo owner Nell Scarborough says her establishment is “kind of like Cheers.” On a recent visit to the East Dallas neighborhood bar, located in a strip center on the corner of Skillman Street and Abrams Road, everyone seemed to know everyone else’s name, and they all sang along to the Richard Marx-esque power ballads […]
Little Katana is an inventive offshoot of the tiny sushi bar in the Galleria expanded to a full kitchen that prepares dishes with Japanese, Korean and Thai influences. In addition to fresh and relatively inexpensive sushi, Little Katana offers a variety of steaks and other meats cooked on a custom-engineered grill to tame the intense […]
There’s something about devouring a whole fish – truly devouring it, leaving nothing but bones – that feels victorious, like climbing a mountain peak or getting through downtown on Interstate 35 without hitting traffic. That’s especially the case at Plano’s Little Sichuan, where the whole tilapia comes buried in an avalanche of potatoes, cauliflower, lotus […]

The name Local has nothing to do with local food. Chef Tracy Miller wants the best ingredients to create a restaurant that becomes your home away from home — your local.

Lockhart Smokehouse, the Central Texas-style barbecue joint launched by a step-granddaughter of longtime Kreuz Market owner Edgar Schmidt, was easily 2011’s most eagerly anticipated restaurant opening. Lockhart’s fatty brisket, remarkably tender and flavorful, proves the excitement was warranted. While the smokehouse hasn’t yet mastered ribs or chicken, there’s perhaps no better place to Dallas to […]
