Steak in Dallas Observer
Showing 23 - 44 of 64
The premise of steaks, seafood and pasta under one roof is not unique. But at Even Coast, chef Omar Flores has jumped into the concept with both feet, and the payoff has been splendid. Fresh seafood abounds, and Even Coast’s graceful handling turns out gems like a Texas redfish imbued with Creole flavors. Pastas are […]
Dallas’ original churrascaria Brazilian steakhouse – where gauchos haul around dripping hunks of meat – is still going strong, catering to hordes of men from the high-tech corridor. In fact, at lunch you might get run over by a gaucho zipping to someone’s table in the packed dining room. The meats – from leg of […]
It rests in the thick of the backcountry; at the end of a twisty driveway, wood fencing lining its flanks. There’s a gazebo, a long porch and a few oaks sulking in the breeze, plus a 15-acre pond filled with bass This is Dallas steak dining as envisioned by Zeus and executed by former Del […]
With a menu as big as the namesake mountain standing sentinel over Tokyo, Fuji offers something for everyone, from the neophyte making short forays into foreign cuisine to the old pro looking for something new to gobble. The appetizer menu is proof enough. It includes gyoza dumplings and grilled yellowtail collar, a delicacy. The kitchen […]
Genki is Japanese for energy and vigor. It is those qualities that the restaurant’s conveyor-belt sushi presentation puts to the test. It’s easy to stare wide-eyed at the yellow, blue and red-rimmed plates and want nothing more than to attempt to clear the belt. Pace yourself. There are more than enough volcano rolls to go […]

Chef R.J. Yoakum studied at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry, and his arrival in Dallas coincided with a stylistic change to the former Knox Henderson steakhouse. Celebrity chef Curtis Stone’s name was quietly dropped, and Yoakum turned the menu on its ear. Gone are boring takes on steaks served at inflated celebrity chef prices, replaced with […]
Hearty American fare is front and center at Houston’s. Beloved classics like ribs and burgers are favorites here — “here” including restaurants as far flung as New York City, where locals are prone to pronouncing it “Howston,” like the downtown boulevard. But in Dallas, general manager Matthew Gottlieb knows how the name is pronounced and […]
Very good steaks and fair-to-good seafood in an atmosphere of cowboy excess. This huge grand hotel-like restaurant must be experienced at least once.
This old-timer–a decade just off the Addison strip qualifies in the longevity department–serves decent steaks, seafood and other American fare in an attractive space with lots of wood paneling and a pressed-tin ceiling. The full-flavored aged steaks are a good bet, but we also liked the baked ziti, a huge mound of tasty pasta and […]
One of the best steakhouses in Dallas, this spot isn’t as flamboyant as Town Hearth, as party-centric as Nick & Sam’s or as old-school as Pappas Bros. What matters here is the meat, most of it expertly dry-aged to deepen the flavor. Live it up with excellent seafood crudos, oxtail ravioli, an old-school aged rib-eye […]

One of the few restaurants where the theme won’t spoil your appetite, this rustic ranch/hunting lodge family-style eatery is comfortable and fun with food that can be surprising.

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 […]
If you couldn’t already tell by the name, the folks at Love & War in Texas are very proud of the Lone Star State. So proud that they created a bar and grill with Texas as the theme. Located on Grapevine Mills Circle, the road that wraps around Grapevine Mills Mall, the watering hole attracts […]
Mac’s is more grill than bar, but the pub side of this American-style eatery draws a local crowd for preparty weekend dinners or early nightcaps during the week. Since 1987, a black stone-top bar, ornate dark wooden shelving and a few tall round tables have afforded the neighborhood regulars a spot to catch the game […]
A French steakhouse overlooking a lake is perhaps not something one expects to find in Plano, but Mignon is just that. It’s possible to imagine you’re somewhere other than a suburban strip mall when dining here — provided you can ignore the view of the Walgreen’s across the street and all the Lexus SUVs parked […]

Morton’s the Steakhouse may be a chain with more than 70 locations, but this is hardly Outback. Originally located downtown since 1987, Morton’s moved on up to McKinney Avenue in 2011. A fresh makeover the following year replaced the old-school dark wood-laden dining room with a new look more suited to its Uptown location: dimmer, […]
Spelled simply, Cajun is an exquisite teetering act between spicy ferocity and the freshest raw materials. Nate’s executes this balance with the effectiveness of a sturdy swamp cooler. The kitchen sweats smoky spice fog that hovers and haunts the spaces between the beer signs as it bubbles massive portions of unrivaled richness. You’ll find big […]
Prospective diners could learn everything they need to know about Nick and Sam’s by walking through the parking lot. Valets squeeze in freshly detailed luxury cars and limousines of various shapes and sizes park out front. Inside the meat den, dark wood floors and dark wood ceilings framed dark painted walls in between. Waitresses hold […]
Old Hickory Steakhouse is newer and fancier than its name implies. Just like the Gaylord Hotel it resides inside, it’s pretty grand, with a circular staircase, leather booths, lots of dark wood and a granite bar with a fireplace. The “steakhouse” part of the name definitely rings true, though – the menu showcases huge slabs […]
