Parlor’s Ice Creams is just west of White Rock Lake (in the Hillside Village Shopping Center) serving nostalgic flavors ranging from milk and cookies to strawberries and cream. They mix, pasteurize and freeze all of their ice creams in-house: a supply standard few other ice cream shops in Dallas can uphold. Parlor’s raw ingredients are […]
It’s hard to argue with the Neapolitan pizza-making prowess of Dino Santonicola, the Naples-born chef who opened Partenope after years at the popular Cane Rosso chain.

When Joe Morales opened this bar in November 2019, he called it his retirement bar, – the kind of place he wants to find a stool to call home later down the road. Many locals and regulars are already doing that. The bar food here is superior; you might not find a better late-night burger […]
Irving’s first Nepalese sports bar was worth the wait, and it’s making the rest of the North Texas cities jealous. Only at Peak Restaurant can you watch a football game with a pint of Dos Equis while devouring spiral-topped dumplings filled with chicken and slathered with spicy chile sauce, or a vegetarian thali based on […]

Probably the best-known barbecue restaurant in Dallas, Pecan Lodge started as a Dallas Farmers Market stall before finding a permanent home in Deep Ellum. Now the stall is a memory, and it feels like Pecan Lodge has been here forever; like there has always been a line snaking out the door and around the corner, […]
Peggy Sue BBQ may reside in tony Snider Plaza, but it’s definitely more down-home than Uptown. The waitresses will probably call you “honey,” and you might even spot one of the city’s ladies-who-lunch with barbecue sauce on her face (gasp!). Open since 1989, the decor hasn’t changed a bit, with vinyl tablecloths and plenty of […]

No, not pita. It’s pide. The rounds that come from this kitchen are a little thicker than traditional pita bread, and they don’t open into perfect pockets, but they are no less delicious. They come out by the basketful to be used as utensils for scooping up smooth hummus, savory yogurt and other salads, or […]
There’s no escaping it. When you gaze at the silhouette of the building that houses Pera Wine & Tapas from the parking lot, you’re looking the shell of a decades-old Taco Bueno. This is a house that beans built, though the smell of lard-laden pintos has vanished long ago. Inside, tables draped in white linen […]
