Beef’s the star at this upscale eatery, but the kitchen staff thankfully strays into the dairy section of the food pyramid to do miraculous things with liberal doses of cheese. The manly menu includes a terrific appetizer of Romano-encrusted crisp-tender asparagus; bacon-wrapped shrimp crammed with cheddar; “that salad,” featuring brandied cherries and crumbled Oregon blue; […]
For more than 30 years the Black Eyed Pea has been turning out casual home cooking with a Southern flare for diners looking for a comfortable meal on the cheap. Think mashed potatoes with the skins left on and pot roast slow-simmered until it’s fork tender. They have burgers, fried green tomatoes, meatloaf and enough […]
There are steakhouses for celebrating business deals, steakhouses for wooing lovers and steakhouses where the only imperative is to enjoy a good plate of quality red meat. Bob’s Steak and Chop Shop falls in the latter category. While parties flock to this local favorite, there are few better spots for a single eater to sidle […]

This is arguably the best Brazilian “espeto corrido churrascaria,” or continuous service grill house, in the area. The space is palatial, if a bit banquet-hall-esque, the salad bar is ample and relatively fresh and the skewered meats, served by gauchos with wicked carving knives slipped into their belts, are for the most part juicy and […]

Mike Leatherwood’s tiny chain of breastaraunts can be summed up in three keywords: barbecue, beer and beauties. The latter are called “Daddy’s Girls,” and serve the former two items while clad in tight-fitting clothes. Surprise, surprise: The main clientele are men sucking down cold ones and hickory-smoked ‘cue, like the three-meat house platter with two […]
Brass Ram sits above National Anthem in the East Quarter, and short of small gold lettering on the door opposite National Anthem’s entrance, there’s little in the way of signage to let you know you’re at the right spot. Brass Ram is a take on the prime rib steakhouse, and where Town Hearth offers the […]
In a warm environment of African mahogany paneling and art-deco chandeliers, diners feast on hearty surf and turf plates like the seared tenderloin with butter-poached lobster, the 22 oz. Delmonico steak and grilled swordfish. The bar menu offers spins on traditional bar items-mini lobster and crab burgers, parmesan truffle fries as well as pan-fried calamari […]
Rated “Four Stars” by the Dallas Morning News and picked by D Magazine as one of “2008’s Best Restaurants”, Chamberlain’s Steak and Chop House continues serving the finest steaks, seafood and prime rib seven nights a week in our traditional fine dining atmosphere.
Las Colinas is known as a part of town where business happens. Top executives from all over the country travel to this section of North Irving to buy, sell, merge and do all sorts of other businessy things. And when the day is done, many of these tycoons can be found seated at the richly […]
Cooper’s Meat Market, the tiny butcher shop in Sylvan Thirty, wants to redefine the steakhouse experience. Here, a cut of prime meat and a glass of wine don’t come with pretentious trimmings or high-class condescension. From the design of the space, it’s clear that Cooper’s would like anyone to walk in and feel welcome.

Crown Block sits atop Reunion Tower, although it doesn’t spin as previous restaurants famously did. This is a great special occasion spot with big steaks and fine seafood. They also serve Sunday brunch.
Excellent steaks, good sides, moderate prices, cool hunting-lodge environs–this place is well worth the 20-minute drive from downtown Dallas on Interstate 30. Just a stone’s throw from the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, Culpepper has successfully transformed itself–with massive renovations–from schlocky Western-themed steak joint to white-tablecloth fine dining establishment. They serve “Premium Gold Angus” […]
Since 1984, this white-tablecloth hotspot has been a downtown dining destination beneath Lincoln Plaza. Hand-cut Italian Carrera marble, dark-wood paneling, leather, gas lamp, a water wall and its location – below street level – give Dakota’s an oasis touch. There is an air of exclusivity to the place; it’s not everyday one gets to ride […]
Dallas Chop House has stripped away the heavy leather banquettes, black walnut paneling and cigar smoke from the classic steakhouse experience and come up with an exceedingly modern approach to the red meat meal. Housed in the Philip Johnson-designed Comerica Building, the Chop House is done up in metal, cushions and earth tones. The menu […]

The walls are also home to vintage works sourced from The Art Institute of Chicago’s sports memorabilia collection. D.L. Mack’s emphasizes ingredients made from scratch in-house daily with shareable snacks, […]
When we spoke to Doug Pickering about his namesake barbecue venture in Snyder Plaza, Douglas Bar and Grill, he addressed the elephant in the room right off the bat: the barbecue here is expensive. Douglas Bar and Grill is a beautiful space, and the barbecue is top-notch, from the phenomenal wagyu brisket and the perfectly […]
Since the Summer of Love, Gene Dunston and his sister Judy Dunston Kissel have made this the second home of the mesquite-broiled steak. The place is still in the family and still treating customers like family. Those in the know enter through the backdoor and have de-facto tables where they dine on prime cuts of […]
