Hook, Line & Sinker

The fried shrimp and catfish fillets have a strong reputation-especially the catfish. Clean and straightforward, they provide a satisfying crunch without all the greasy residue. Fries may disappoint, and the gumbo can be good or mediocre, depending on the day. But the hush puppies have a welcome, savory heft, and there’s plenty else to satisfy […]

Hops and Hens

Hops and Hens is a casual and fun concept with lawn games such as Jenga, Connect Four and washers. Its menu of fried chicken sandwiches and tenders boasts a unique brine with hops and brewer spices and homemade sauces on chicken tenders and sandwiches. Their Texan fried chicken sandwich is topped with barbecue sauce, bacon, […]

Hot Pizza

Hot Pizza Dallas opened in Dallas in early 2021, infusing Indian flavors into the world of Italian pizza. Even though it’s a curious combination, it’s surprisingly good. Since opening, the small spot has gained quite a large fan base of pizza lovers, Indian food enthusiasts and just plain curious foodies. The menu at this low-key pizza spot […]

Hotel St. Germain

Eating in this renovated 1906 Victorian mansion cum boutique hotel is pure alchemy; you won’t be the same once the last creamed crumb passes your lips. Dining room seams bulge with turn-of-the-century French antiques oozing lace and candle flickers. There’s a New Orleans-style courtyard, lit just enough to milk shadows from the recesses and brush. […]

Houndstooth Coffee

If you’re the type of bike-riding coffee snob who turns up his nose at frappuccinos, Austin import Houndstooth Coffee’s Henderson Avenue outpost might just fit the bill. Inside the sleek, modern, sun-drenched space, options abound: Japanese-style cold brew? Pourover? Cortado? Iced chai? Or perhaps an almond milk vanilla latte complete with heart-shaped latte art, courtesy […]

House of Blues

Generally speaking, if something’s happening at House of Blues, you know it’s big. This temple of sound housed at the White Swan Building in Victory Park has enough room for 1,625 patrons. Folks in the music bizz often rub shoulders behind the ropes of the VIP area, scouting for the next big thing. This is […]

Houston’s Restaurant

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 […]

Howard Wang’s China Grill

We have an aversion to artificially tenderized meat, MSG and slimy sauces. We have exclaimed to many people that it’s extremely difficult to find reliably good Chinese food in Dallas. Then, on the recommendation of a friend, we found Howard Wang’s, at Northwest Highway and Midway streets. The first thing you notice is the sleek […]

Hugo’s Invitados

Hugo’s Invitados is Mexican “influenced” cuisine with a focus on locally sourced and organic ingredients. There’s not a single bowl of queso on the menu. How about some ceviche fresco instead? Hankering a plate of nachos? You’re in luck, they’ve got those and they come topped with smoked salmon, a herbal avocado puree and mango-habanero […]

Hugo’s Seafood Bar

These two Hugos in the Bishop Arts are a problem. The cocktail program is as equally impressive as the plates steaming out of the kitchen. Saying it’s a bar with great food, or a restaurant with great drinks, is a disservice to both. We prefer to linger at the bar over several drinks and small […]
