The Goldmine Family Restaurant is the epitome of a greasy spoon: cheap breakfasts, worn-out booths, waitresses who will probably call you “honey,” plenty of elderly regulars nursing their sixth cup of coffee. Biscuits are fluffy, bacon is crisp and you will definitely never bear witness to the bottom of your coffee cup. Unlike many restaurants […]

Barbecue is a humble art, and there’s something special about brisket procured from a barbecue shack on the side of the road. Trouble is, most of the ramshackle joints across Texas don’t serve very good smoked meats – that is until Travis and Donna Mayes first fired up their brick smoker in 2009. They’ve been […]
Ojeda’s is unabashedly Tex-Mex, without even a hint of “Fresh-Mex,” “Mod-Mex” or any other such stabs at upscale Mexican and/or healthy food. Sometimes you just gotta have a chili relleno or some enchiladas smothered in greasy chili, and if that’s what you’re craving, Ojeda’s is the place for you. Other menu options include tacos, fajitas, […]
Chef Kevin Ashade calls himself “globally trained,” and that education shows itself on a menu that hops across the world, with flavors of France, Jamaica, Asia, West Africa and the American South. Ashade became a champion on Beat Bobby Flay by topping the celebrity chef’s recipe for coq au vin, and Pangea’s recreation of that […]
This is some of the very best pho in the region, and everyone in the crowded dining room knows it. Pho Bang is one of the staples of Garland’s Vietnamese community, and it shares a strip mall with three more: Dong Hai, with its Cantonese-influenced menu, banh xeo specialist La Xanh and Dong Que, with […]

Piefalootin is a locally owned from-scratch pie house with both classic and innovative flavors. It feels like a hidden gem because it is. If fluffly pies is your love language, then muuuuwah.
The bánh mì at Quoc Bao start with fresh-baked baguettes, which are practically cubist in their crispy-crusted flakiness. This is a working bakery, so the bread is the best part of the sandwiches, of which our favorites involve barbecued pork and marinated chicken. Because it’s a bakery first, Quoc Bao has always been takeout only, […]
We look at it as the poor man’s Pappadeaux, with humbler aspirations and much humbler prices. Funny thing is, the more we go there, the more we like it; it’s gotten to the point where we’d rather sit at a tin-topped table at Razzoo’s than wait in line at Pappadeaux. The blackened tilapia fillet, for […]

Just across the parking lot from Quoc Bao (and a two-minute walk from Pho Bang), Saigon Deli’s emphasis is more on the filling of the sandwiches rather than the bread. Spring for seafood or excellent, rich pate, which is a perfect foil to the slices of jalapeno. Plus, unlike Quoc Bao, Saigon Deli has tables.

Monikers aside, Sali’s has been serving pizza, pasta and calzones to legions of loyal Garland customers for decades. The decor is typical […]
