You’ll need some time to peruse the large wine list; maybe have a sangria while you do that. Be sure to order the grilled bread, whipped goat cheese and potato tortilla. If […]

It’s no surprise that this Dallas institution is jam-packed with coeds after dark; it’s a beer-pong bounce away from Southern Methodist University. However, the endless rotation of original and cover bands brings in live-show fans from across Dallas. While the kitchen does turn out food, mostly appetizers (e.g., “Totally Fried” Sampler: onion rings, stuffed red […]

Fresh oysters, clams and crab legs and an inland-oyster-bar atmosphere make this a festive spot, especially when the longnecks are flowing on the patio. The fried catfish (served with fat fries) is some of the best in town: crispy and greaseless. It’s a mecca, too, for crawfish lovers. The signature shrimp cocktail is made with […]

Rowlett sure found star quality when Big Star came to town. Fresh, juicy and well-seasoned burgers are tough to beat, but the Buffalo chicken sandwich is a proven winner. Fries and onion rings are both indulgent and tasty sides, but if you can’t decide between the two, just go for the co-star basket and sample […]

It’s imported from Ohio, of all places. But this restaurant set on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard-a light-house-like wine bar detached from the dining room-tavern complex-is well-larded with Southwestern kitsch. Fake fur on chairs made of rough-hewn sticks. Whole aspen logs dangling from the ceiling. Pussy willows for table d
A hip vibe bolstered by mixed wood and metal design elements bestow upon this Japanese restaurant specializing in sushi a sleek sheen. Whimsical signature rolls like the South Beach set atop a martini glass only accentuate it. As does the price. Salmon, crab, shrimp and avocado wrapped in cucumber with a vinaigrette and masago will […]
Fajitas, tamales, enchiladas – the trifecta of Tex-Mex cookery – are the specialties at Blue Goose, matched only by the much-lauded (and guzzled) margaritas. From the original Greenville Avenue location to the locations scattered around the Dallas area, the Tex-Mex restaurant’s slogan holds true everywhere. It’s “Where Every Day is a Fiesta,” with its all-the-colors-of-the-rainbow […]
