Originally opened in New York City in 1926 by Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi (and still owned by their descendents), the Palm brand has taken root from Los Angeles to San Juan. The Dallas branch is smack dab in the West End. The house specialty is the Nova Scotia lobster available up to six pounds. […]

Ask anyone who’s lived in Dallas long enough and they’ll gush about the service at Pappas Brothers. The old-school steakhouse has been a Dallas fixture for more than 30 years, harkening an era when fine dining meant a trip to restaurant row. The setting has changed some, and now strip clubs outnumber fine dining restaurants […]
This Houston fine-dining import began life as a butcher shop in 1979. Since then, Chris Perry, son of founder Bob Perry, has opened eight other Texas locations. Among them is this Uptown branch adjacent to the Ritz Carlton Hotel. The restaurant’s name speaks to bricks of buttery filet mignon and rib-eyes. Those are certainly available, […]
Perry’s makes its bed with prime. And while prime may at times seem interchangeable with flame-proof saddle padding on many of the city’s upper-crust steak menus, Perry’s has the real thing both on paper and between the lips. It’s juicy, rich and infiltrated with lusty silk that successfully straddles the razor-thin line between feminine refinement […]
One of the Dallas area’s newest churrascarias-where “gauchos” tote around skewers of roasted, simply seasoned meat and you dine until you explode-bears more than a passing resemblance to Texas de Brazil, which popularized the Brazilian steakhouse concept in the metroplex. The cuts of meat and even the items in the expansive salad bar are similar, […]
The mood evoked at The Ranch at Las Colinas goes far beyond its namesake. Yes, the design of the place, inside and out, suggests that you kick off your spurs and mosey up to the bar for a cold one. But the Lonesome Dove decorations are accompanied by a serious upscale vibe. The sleek granite […]

Located in an attractive Southwest-themed shopping center in Cedar Hill, just south of Duncanville on Highway 67, it’s a steak place, but there are a few twists, such as the tasty pineapple-habanero relish that accompanied the coconut shrimp. The charcoal-broiled steaks varied in quality: The filet mignon was tender, but the lime-and-tequila-marinated flank steak was […]
Smoke Plano is a lot like the first Smoke that opened in West Dallas years ago. They have similar color schemes and logos, and when you walk through the door the smell of smoke and seared meat gives you a nice, warm hug. The two restaurants share a lot of the same menu items, too, […]
Good, reasonably priced steak with largely uninspiring sides in a comfortable, well-serviced atmosphere. Ringside at Sullivan’s bar hops with swing and blues Friday and Saturday.

The Texas de Brazil in Fort Worth boasts the same world-class salad bar and savory roasted meats (delivered to your table on skewers) as its cousins in Dallas and Addison, but like Cowtown itself, the place is exceptionally friendly. Excellent lobster bisque, filet mignon and rack of lamb. The layout of the multilevel restaurant-with some […]
This Brazilian espeto corrido churrascaria, or continuous-service grill house, with servers offering a variety of meats from skewers, has mostly good meat, but a few offerings are desiccated — especially the pork. The all-you-can eat salad bar is loaded with fresh stuff, and the wine list has a good selection with flavor descriptions.
Let’s get one thing clear right away: “Town Hearth” is not at all a cozy den for the people to gather about for warmth; either metaphorically or physically. Rather, it’s the chandelier of restaurants in the middle of the bedazzled city, over the top in almost every way (even the bathrooms are amazing). From the […]
With its chrome trimmings and white-tiled floor, Truluck’s has everything your grandmother loves in a restaurant: a straight-up menu of seafood and steak served with cheese-ridden mashed potatoes; a display tray of crab claws presented tableside; dense chocolate cake carved into slices as thick as Russian novels; and Frank Sinatra on the stereo. But the […]
Uchiko is the latest gem in James Beard award winner Tyson Cole’s culinary crown, a take on the Uchi concept, imbued with flame-kissed excellence. While Uchiko’s menu offers plenty of nigiri, sashimi and makimono that wouldn’t feel out of place on Uchi’s table, the key differences come “from the hearth”, the wood grill which is key […]
Wicked Butcher is a downtown Dallas steakhouse located in the Comerica Bank Tower, which reopened in 2024 after facing challenges from the pandemic, protests in downtown and a hard freeze. It has gained popularity, ranking No. 6 on Yelp’s best new restaurants list. The restaurant is known for its impressive popovers served with rosemary butter […]

Richard Ellman, the founder of Wits Steakhouse, was born in coastal South Africa and both of his parents were born there as well. He went back to his family roots for inspiration for this spot. For starters, there’s biltong, which is South African beef jerky, a tenderloin carpaccio, bone marrow and bacon jam, oyster Rockefeller […]
With brick arches, ironwork and candlelit tables, the main dining room is as steakhouse as steakhouse gets. The patio with Texas Live Oaks offers a more casual setting. Diners can enjoy a glass from the wine menu split into “Old World” and “New World” sections as well as items from chef/owner Tony Street’s extensive game […]
