If you’ve grown tired of Tex-Mex, there’s a solution on Lower Greenville Avenue.

Parlor’s Ice Creams is just west of White Rock Lake (in the Hillside Village Shopping Center) serving nostalgic flavors ranging from milk and cookies to strawberries and cream. They mix, pasteurize and freeze all of their ice creams in-house: a supply standard few other ice cream shops in Dallas can uphold. Parlor’s raw ingredients are […]

When chef Misti Norris launched Petra and The Beast in a converted gas station in 2017, Norris thought the idea might last six months. Five and half years and dozens of accolades later, Petra has a new home in Lakewood, with a larger kitchen that allows Norris’ talents to shine. Menu items like the charcuterie […]

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.
This family-run, red-and-white-checkered-tablecloth joint is one of Dallas’ oldest for Italian fare. Down-to-earth, consistently good dishes like minestrone soup, spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parmigiana keep the place bustling.
