Cafe on the Green

One of five restaurants at the tony Four Seasons in Las Colinas, Cafe on the Green looks out onto the front nine of the Four Seasons Las Colinas’ award-winning golf course. As one might expect from a high-end hotel restaurant, it plays host to breakfast, brunch and lunch buffets galore, with everything from made-to-order omelets […]

Caribbean Grill

A slightly rundown strip mall near the intersection of two major highways may not be the first location you’d expect to find a wee taste of the islands, but you’d be wrong. Caribbean Grill is many things — a grocery store, a restaurant, a live music venue — but most of all it’s a place […]

Carmona’s Tex-Mex Cantina

If for some reason you find yourself wandering through the wilds of Terrell (shopping at the outlet mall, perhaps?) be sure to stop in to Carmona’s Tex Mex and get your picture taken with the handsome sombrero-clad statue holding down one of the entrances. As long as you’re there, you may as well refuel with […]

The Cedars Social

When ex-NFL players open restaurants and bars, it’s usually safe to expect a somewhat dumbed-down concept. But that wasn’t the case in early 2011 when former Green Bay Packers linebacker Brian Williams opened The Cedars Social, a warm, ’70s-inspired cocktail den across from the South Side Lofts. The upscale restaurant features a full-service kitchen, but […]

Central Market

The big sellers at this nifty little restaurant within the supermarket are the pizzas and, no surprise, the wraps, like the veggie selection. However, the menu hits all the culinary possibilities. There are Asian dishes, like the shrimp stir-fry, pastas, lasagna, salads (Cobb, anyone?) and a kids menu. The specialties offered include pan-roasted salmon Ni

Chuy’s

It’s been said that nothing good comes from someone or something named Chuy. This Tex-Mex restaurant chain nips that adage in the bud. Decorated in bright colors and kitschy send-ups of all things Tex-Mex, the first Chuy’s began offering popular favorites with a side of The King-Elvis Presley, that is-in 1982, when Mike Young and […]

City Cafe

An unprepossessing exterior hides a versatile eatery combining a casually sophisticated dinner restaurant, a power-lunch place, a gourmet to-go joint and more. The regional American menu rotates seafood, veal, game, pasta, fowl, beef, pork and lamb.

Clay Pit Grill & Curry House

If you’re new to Indian cuisine and still a bit intimidated by all the unfamiliar dishes out there, Clay Pit is a great place to start. You can ease your taste buds’ journey into the unknown by sampling foods with a hint of familiarity, such as the deliciously gooey cream cheese naan or the tangy […]

Cook Hall

If you’re looking for a place to dine before a game at the American Airlines Center, Cook Hall is a fine enough place to go. Tucked into the neighboring W Hotel, the restaurant offers a wide array of small portioned and moderately priced plates that make for a great warmup before the big match. Sit […]

Cool & Hot Tacos

Cool & Hot Tacos is just off of Interstate 35 at 8th Street. You’ve driven past it a million times on your way to the Dallas Zoo and noticed its ridiculously bright paint job. This isn’t your typical gas station that’s a gas station with a taquer

Cooper’s Restaurant and Club

The bar’s advertisement in Latin Life Magazine isn’t kidding when it claims, “Now looking for new members!” Longtime members of the club and friendly bartender Jose will make sure you feel like a regular too. Cooper’s–featured as one of “Dallas’s Most Authentic Dive Bars”–has been at its current location at the corner of West Illinois […]

Crandall Cotton Gin

The Crandall Cotton Gin is a bastion of home-cookin’ housed in — surprise! — an old cotton gin. (That’s gin as in an automated cotton-picking machine, not the liquor, so don’t get too excited.) Chicken-fried steak and chicken-fried chicken are what you’ll find on practically every table here, flanked by the requisite sides — fried […]

Crooked Tree CoffeeHouse

With its quaint appearance and blue-gray siding, you wouldn’t be faulted for thinking someone’s grandmother resides in the Uptown bungalow that houses Crooked Tree. The comfy plush chairs and couches mixed with wood chairs on hardwood floors, the reading room with peach walls further reinforce that feeling. The only thing missing are the endless tchotchkes, […]

Culver’s

We know something about hamburgers, even Wisconsin hamburgers, such as those you’ll find at Culver’s, the lone outpost of a Dairy-State chain in the metroplex. Yes, we have literally grilled thousands of them at a little hamburger joint in a small town that deserves to remain unnamed. We thought, in fact, that our little place […]

Daddy Jack’s

East, West and Gulf coasts meet at this self-styled New England lobster and chowder shack on lower Greenville. That’s a lot of directions under one roof. However, a compass is unnecessary. Diners simply locate the red neon lobster and blue neon bowl of chowder capped by a red awning. Once seated at a table clothed […]
