One Nostalgia Tavern

Does the thought of going to a place with “nostalgia” in its name make you quiver as you imagine wait staff pretending to be celebrities from a bygone era and music so old that they don’t even play it in nursing homes? Fear not. One Nostalgia Place celebrates a different kind of memory. It’s a […]

Ookuma Japanese Burger

There was an audible gasp across Dallas when Sandwich Hag, the beloved bánh mì shop in the Cedars, announced it was closing. But in its place, Ookuma Japanese Burger is a worthy replacement, where Japanese-style teriyaki burgers are packed with flavor at a price point that won’t break the bank. The fare comes courtesy of […]

Opening Bell Coffee

Good tunes and bangin’ cups of joe are a given at Opening Bell Coffee. With one of the longest-running open mic nights in DFW, the shop’s stage has seen the likes of Leon Bridges, Charley Crockett and many who have gone on to compete on NBC’s The Voice and American Idol. Patrons who attend the […]

The Operators Club

This restaurant is located in the centrury old Coca Cola building in the West End. Glossy cement floors, exposed brick and high ceilings highlight the charm of this century-old space. Large windows allow outside light and all the doings outside to flood in. The fun menu here is served with a side of jazz hands. […]

Original Market Diner

Originally opened by the parents and grandparents of Jimmy Vergos in 1954, this diner is as authentic as diners come. The owner is Greek. (Everyone knows the only diners worth their salt are owned by Greeks.) The place has gone through several permutations, even suffering closure during the 1980s. The current incarnation, opened in 1989, […]

The Original Pancake House

Les Highet and Erma Hueneke founded the first Original Pancake House in Portland, Oregon, in 1953. Since then, the family and its franchisees have exported the beloved restaurant coast to coast. The popular breakfast giants at this everyday eatery are the Apple Pancake, a large pancake with sautéed apples and cinnamon sugar; and the Dutch […]

Oso Food and Wine

This North Dallas spot defies expectations, going beyond typical Middle Eastern restaurants to give diners something new to chew on. And that’s not at the expense of authenticity. The scent of sumac wafts up from the plate of sirloin beef, and nuts and fruits are used effectively to create complex dishes with plenty of character. […]

Outpost American Tavern

Outpost American Tavern brings affordable, comfortable bar food to a section of Oak Cliff that needed a decent bar. The new restaurant, housed in the building that used to host Campo, sports dark wood tones and dim lighting for a cozy, casual feel that’s suited to the menu. If you’re looking for decent food that […]

The Owners Box

It’s not hard to find The Owners Box in Dallas’ Omni Convention Center Hotel. Just look for the giant neon building on the downtown Dallas skyline – then quickly, for your retinas’ sake, look away. The interior of The Owner’s Box, the bar located on the ground floor, isn’t much different as far as sensory […]

Ozona Grill & Bar

Ozona Bar and Grill is named after the tiny, unincorporated West Texas town of Ozona. A town that happens to be the one-and-only town in all of the vast expanse that is Crockett County, and whose motto happens to be “The Biggest Little Town in the World.” So Ozona’s a fitting name for a bar […]

P.D. Johnson’s Dog Day Deli

This isn’t exactly the cheapest deli in town, as its location might imply. However, P.D. Johnson’s has going for it what most sandwich chains don’t: personal service and a gimmick that doesn’t involve some guy who lost weight eating only their product and who is only filmed from the mid-torso up. The selections at P.D. […]

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro

How many diners know that the giant, 11-foot-tall stone horses flanking the entrances of many P.F. Chang’s symbolize the original Forbidden City in China, which was built for China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huangdi? Or that the restaurant’s founder, Philip Chiang, is still this successful chain’s consultant, and author of its current menu? People probably […]

Paciugo

Italians’ answer to Baskin-Robbins, Paciugo’s got waaaay more than 31 flavors. This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 […]

Paciugo West Village

This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 percent less fat than typical ice cream. Try up to three […]
