Tha Neighborhood Kitchen

This tiny restaurant (take-out only) in Joppa is serving some of the best home cooked and soul food plates in Dallas. Get the smothered pork chops, which will likely be the best you ever had. Even though these are billed as “smothered,” the crisp crust encasing each thick chop is perfectly seasoned. Two big chops […]

Thai Lotus Kitchen

This friendly restaurant puts the emphasis on service but also prepares well-spiced Thai-style vegetarian and seafood dishes. Lunch specials are offered Monday through Saturday.

Thai Opal

Try the chicken satay, a tender, curry-marinated chicken strips on skewers served with a rich but not overpowering peanut sauce on the side. We also like the glass noodle curry, a bed of long, skinny translucent noodles sauced in curry with bean sprouts, onions, egg and beef. On their own, these noodles have a neutral […]

The Travis Disco

The newest in a long line of clubs aimed squarely at the Uptown set, Rio Room embraces a retro, almost rainforest look, while maintaining an

Theater Too!

The downstairs sibling to the Quadrangle’s theater-in-the-round, Theater Three, Theatre Too! is a smaller venue performing quirkier, darker productions, many of which are original. Whichever one you choose, it’ll certainly be a welcome departure from the typical boozing-with-bros that makes up the majority of Uptown’s nightlife scene. (Pro tip: The air conditioning can be a […]

Theatre Three

Nestled into the Uptown plaza known as the Quadrangle, this black-box style theater-in-the-round’s location makes dinner and a show all too convenient (MoMo’s, Dream Cafe and the British Beverage Co. are all just a stone’s throw away). A diverse array of productions has included everything from Enron to Avenue Q. The concentric set-up means actors […]
