This Austin-based chicken-wing chain clucks its bucks thanks to folks who come for the deals and the family restaurant/sports bar hybrid feel.

If you’re like us, you’ve seen the sign for Pocket Sandwich Theatre while driving down Mockingbird Lane and wondered if they had falafel.

The Rabbit Hole Bar and Grill is newer place in Old East Dallas that fits the neighborhood like a good worn glove. The bar food is far above average and the outdoor courtyard had a dog run. It’s the best of all of us. Be sure to tried the hand cut and panko-crusted fried mozzarella […]
Chef Andrew Savoie’s tacos are straightforward delicious. Cauliflower, kale and other dutiful-sounding greens prove to be better taco fillings than one might suspect, and the braised beef short rib taco with chipotle crema is a delight.
