The premise of steaks, seafood and pasta under one roof is not unique. But at Even Coast, chef Omar Flores has jumped into the concept with both feet, and the payoff has been splendid. Fresh seafood abounds, and Even Coast’s graceful handling turns out gems like a Texas redfish imbued with Creole flavors. Pastas are […]

Owner Francesco Secchi is from Sardinia and has additional island experience from stints with the Royal Caribbean and Royal Viking cruise lines, so he’s developed solid creature-of-the-sea expertise. Try the scampi alle fiamme (jumbo shrimp in garlic, olive oil, pinot grigio and brandy served with linguini and flambéed at your table) or the risotto with […]
Taking inspiration from East Texas fish shacks with the design to match, the grub here is exactly as the restaurant’s name suggests-catching air from the kitchen to your table. The fresh, seasonal catch is a must: catfish, shrimp and oysters, grilled fish, shrimp cocktail, fish cocktail, crab legs and mudbugs. The staff offers daily specials, […]
Dallas’ original churrascaria Brazilian steakhouse – where gauchos haul around dripping hunks of meat – is still going strong, catering to hordes of men from the high-tech corridor. In fact, at lunch you might get run over by a gaucho zipping to someone’s table in the packed dining room. The meats – from leg of […]
While owner Gloria Rubio is Salvadoran, she certainly knows she’s in the Lone Star State and knows that most of us have a special place in our stomachs for Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. That’s why the menu here is split pretty much down the middle between the foods of her Central American homeland and local […]

If you find generic bro-bars slightly depressing, Humperdink’s may not be for you. Sports bars can be hit-or-miss, but chain sports bars inevitably seem to have a manufactured enthusiasm, as if they’re all designed from a blueprint with blank areas that say “Install local sports team banner here.” Of course, none of that matters after […]
Southern restaurants are all the rage right now, and Ida Claire steps into the fray with her version of shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles and jalape

“20 Years and Still Cookin’” pretty much nails J’s. It’s amazing so many people can eat all that weighty American goodness and live for that long. It must have something to do with the food, cheaper than last night’s grease and the “kiss my grits” staff. Operating ’round the clock (making it a good place […]
This old-timer–a decade just off the Addison strip qualifies in the longevity department–serves decent steaks, seafood and other American fare in an attractive space with lots of wood paneling and a pressed-tin ceiling. The full-flavored aged steaks are a good bet, but we also liked the baked ziti, a huge mound of tasty pasta and […]
Lefty’s specializes in Yankee-style seafood served in a cheerful, friendly place with great good will. The lobster dinner–a one-pound lobster, baked potato and corn on the cob–gets the good-deal award, the chowder is excellent, and fish specials are dependable.
This is Loro’s second location in Dallas, near Addison. Here the menu is primarily pan-Asian with touches of Texas brisket. If it sounds like an awkward marriage, it’s not. It’s beautiful. Try green curry hushpuppies with a coconut chili ranch or a smoke prime bavette served with a shishito salsa verde. The sandwich selections here […]
Spelled simply, Cajun is an exquisite teetering act between spicy ferocity and the freshest raw materials. Nate’s executes this balance with the effectiveness of a sturdy swamp cooler. The kitchen sweats smoky spice fog that hovers and haunts the spaces between the beer signs as it bubbles massive portions of unrivaled richness. You’ll find big […]

Arizone-based Postino Wine Cafe has more 25 restaurants across the US. There’s an emphasis on wine and sharable plates, like a charcuterie boards, flat breads and skillets of meatballs. The wine list is ineresting and varied with only a handful of big California reds. Been looking for a gruner veltliner from Austria? They got it. […]
One of the most recognizable exported cuisines from the Motherland comes from the eastern side of the continent. The rise of Ethiopian immigrants arriving to the United States probably started in the ‘70s when the country was facing food shortages and political unrest. Over the years the numbers of East Africans have risen and as […]
You can get ramen in a few places in Dallas, but the area was without a dedicated ramen shop until Ramen Hakata opened in Addison. True to Hakata-style, the soup is offered up at a low cost, without too many frills or extras. You can order extra noodles, soft-boiled eggs, garlic and other garnishes if […]
