East Dallas & Lakewood in Dallas Observer
Showing 353 - 374 of 402Off the beaten path off Lowest Greenville is a favorite lunch and drink spot for Dallasites that really just wants the city to kick back and relax. The Truck Yard’s food menu is short: Philly cheesesteak, sandwich and/or nachos. But what more do you really need to eat at a bar with so much space […]
The thing that sets Two Corks and a Bottle apart from other wine bars in Dallas is the location from where the wine is fermented and bottled. At Two Corks, it’s all done right there in the Uptown shop. It only sells house-made wines, which sounds like a turn-off; people tend to put their trust […]
Pop Star popsicles. Noble Coyote coffee. Vim + Vigor juices. Texas beers in the fridge and local wines on tap. That’s just a few of the local choices you’ll encounter at Unleavened,a family-friendly, whole-food-conscious casual restaurant in Lakewood Shopping Center. First-time restaurant owners Tom Dynan and Scott built a place for patio-style seating outside and […]
Update: Urban Taco is now a virtual kitchen that operates inside Oomi digital kitchen. Yes, the name sounds a little corporate, but the best restaurant in Mockingbird Station has tons of personality. Co-owner Markus Pineyro drew inspiration from the late-night foods of his native Mexico City when designing tacos such as the “a la Tuma,” […]

You’d never expect music like this in a restaurant like this.

When they play, they command the entire room. If the music is not your thing, simply head out […]
Val’s from scratch cheesecakes are a blessing upon this city. With a seasonally rotating menu of flavors, there’s always something new to try. And the presentation makes them gift-worthy.
If Veritas Wine Room’s rustic, old-world décor and dimly lit, relaxed atmosphere make the wine bar and retail shop feel more like a pub than a wine room, it’s by design. Planned as a “VinoPub,” Veritas was opened in the summer of 2008 on Henderson Avenue. Boasting a revolving list of 350 labels of wine, […]
Considering its location in the upscale Knox-Henderson area, Vickery Park is refreshingly unpretentious. Whether you hang out on the well-worn porch, watch a game on one of several big screens in the main room, belly up to the spacious bar or settle into one of the couches in the lounge area, you’ll feel at home. […]
Since 2008, this sleek Henderson Avenue restaurant has been a spot for the young social set to show off some new threads, throw back specialty cocktails and sip on craft beer. The food is all over the map, but it’s good, leaning on Asian, Middle Eastern, Spanish and American flavors. Picture a hunk of celery […]
