The diner on West Davis Street has been a bustling favorite of Oak Cliff residents since 2010. It’s so casual that it feels like a relief from the rest of the restaurant world. Honestly, isn’t it nice to eat at a place where the employees aren’t told to wear uniforms?

Founded by Luis Ramirez and David Treviño, Nuevo Leon melds dishes from South-Central Mexico, a lush region famous for its fiery spices and guisos (meat and sauce with chiles and vegetables), and the arid Northeastern region famous for its charcoal-grilled steaks. The first unit opened in Farmers Branch in 1994, and a second followed on […]
This Tex-Mex fusion joint is serving options that reach far beyond the typical Mexican fare. Get your hands on the Tejano BBQ wrap, a tortilla filled with smoked vegetable protein, cheddar cornbread and mac and cheese for a comforting mix of textures. Drizzled in a tangy barbecue sauce made of blueberries and pineapple, the wrap […]
Nuri Grill utilizes community-style dining by featuring a grill at the center of each table where servers cook the meat right in front of them. Guests looking for a more interactive experience can try their hand at cooking themselves. Michelin Guide acknowledged Korean chef Minji Kim and her husband, Ben Lee, developed the menu. Kim […]
There’s a time and place for fancy gourmet thin-crusts or pricey wood-fired pies with goat cheese and pine nuts. But when you just want a simple, New York-style big, floppy, chewy slice with house-made sauce and fresh high-quality toppings, Oak Cliff Pizza is the place to go. Be sure to get sausage, as the place […]

Formerly Urban Dog Coffee, this Oak Lawn hipster hangout claims to have the city’s best iced coffee, and we’re inclined to believe them. It’s rich, well-balanced and packs plenty of caffeinated punch. Beans are sourced locally from Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters, and a percentage of the proceeds is donated to local nonprofits, so you can […]
Oak’d BBQ is more than smoke and meat. This chef-driven spot has menu full of succulent sides and an beautiful desserts. One might even stop by Oak’d just for a slice of pie. But why do that when you could also order both Wagyu and prime grade brisket. The smoked turkey is nary a bit […]
Obzeet is many things: restaurant, a dessert and coffee bar, a gift shop selling all manner of bizarrely random goods and a delightfully trashy tropical patio complete with a waterfall and koi pond that often doubles as a live music venue and plays host to plenty of regulars. Don’t miss the dessert case, with its […]
If it swims, it flies. The Oceanaire has fresh fish-Arctic char, Shetland Island trout, barracuda, red mullet, smoked sturgeon, thresher shark, blowfish-flown in from every conceivable global spot-Iceland, the East Coast, New Zealand, Panama, South America, Hawaii. The menu is driven by catch freshness and reshuffles daily-even hourly-as the market dictates. Have your catch prepped […]
When Oddfellows brought in chef Anastacia Quiñones to introduce a dinner menu, Bishop Arts had no idea what it was in for. The all-day-breakfast diner, famous for coffee, waffles and hipster patrons, is now even better at dinnertime. Indeed, the fabled brunches that drove gentrifying Oak Cliff types to stand in hourlong lines Sunday mornings […]
While Italian cuisine has defined Julian Barsotti’s other restaurant ventures, Odelay is his first foray into Tex-Mex. It’s the cuisine Barsottoi missed most when he lived out of state, and Odelay is an homage to those memorable meals with a focus on high-quality ingredients without compromises. That means wagyu brisket from Rosewood Ranch that makes […]

Off-Site Kitchen moved to Trinity Groves recently, but don’t think for a second that the casual burger restaurant lost one drop of its greasy charm. The new location is just like the old location, just with a lot more tables, games to keep you occupied and a beer cooler that runs the entire length of […]
Owner Dwight Harvey and son started Off The Bone as a catering venture, but the pecan wood-smoked ribs garnered enough followers that Harvey Sr. was able to free himself from the shackles of a day job. The spotlight here is on the shredded brisket as thick as a fist, barely containable by its whole grain […]
While this Oak Lawn restaurant is most popular for its sushi — especially its specialty rolls like the namesake offering with soft-shell crab, avocado wrapped with chopped snow crab, wasabi cream and Sriracha sauce — the kitchen puts out all manner of pan-Asian all-star fare. These include crab Rangoon, satays and hot pots, an Eastern […]
Owner Ben Ojeda’s modest culinary beginnings began when the owner supplemented his Army rations with chiles and veggies during World War II. In 1969, he and wife Cecilia Ruiz (Mama Ojeda) rented the old Peter Pan Grill and opened this staple of the Dallas Tex-Mex restaurant scene. The rich and famous (President Bill Clinton and […]
