We figure there’s something wrong with people who can’t enjoy an occasional fried chicken dinner. Nonetheless, we feared we’d be wandering onto the documentary set piece for America: The Obese at Babe’s, a venerable family dining establishment in a Garland strip mall, a place where you’d expect to find an all you can eat fried […]

This spot is one of the best Pakistani restaurants in the Dallas area, which started in Richardson before moving to Garland in 2018. BBQ King serves some great naan – try it stuffed with spiced potatoes or topped with a showering of sesame seeds and cilantro. These are accompaniments to dishes such as haleem, the […]
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 […]
Bistro B (Authentic Asian Cuisine) is all kinds of awesome. It’s delicious awesome. It’s cheap awesome. It’s scary awesome. It’s “Aww, dammit, this Thai iced tea has those chewy brown gelatin bubbles in it. Why am I chewing a drink? This is wrong” awesome. Bistro B is, in fact, the Cheesecake Factory of Asian cuisine. […]
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
As the name implies, this is a crustacean capital-in the middle of Koreatown-replete with nautical decor. Request a pile of seasonal crawfish, shrimp, snow crab and/or clams and shrimp. Gussy it up with any of the three seasonings available or throw them all in for The Whole She-bang (Rajun Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter). If […]

Chicago-style hot dog scene was started by two Chicago-area transplants, and that pedigree definitely shines through. It’s a small spot with a tiny dining area, practically no seating and limited parking, attached to an auto body shop to boot, but that’s all part of the charm and makes it very reminiscent of hole-in-the-wall hot dog […]
Peruse the book-like menu of Cindi’s N.Y. Deli and it’s possible you could find whatever it is you’re craving. Breakfast-wise, the pancakes and French toast are light and fluffy. Want a good poached egg? Cindi’s can serve it right up. Patty Sunday: 7:00 am – 9:00 pm melt or giant pastrami sandwich? Yes and yes. […]
This 15-screen movie theater is located off Shiloh Road in Garland. Amenities include RealD 3D, wheelchair access, a caf
Excellent steaks, good sides, moderate prices, cool hunting-lodge environs–this place is well worth the 20-minute drive from downtown Dallas on Interstate 30. Just a stone’s throw from the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, Culpepper has successfully transformed itself–with massive renovations–from schlocky Western-themed steak joint to white-tablecloth fine dining establishment. They serve “Premium Gold Angus” […]

If that whole pink-slime fiasco has scared you off of ground beef (and we certainly wouldn’t blame you), perhaps you ought to consider taking your business to a proper family-owned butcher shop like David’s Meat Market rather than the local megamart. David Harris and his family have been slinging steaks, chops, house-made sausages and jerky […]
Mexico native Jorge Levy opened his first Tex-Mex hall in 1976 to great applause. The applause continues. The barely altered menu has much to do with it. Among the items that have been available for more than three decades are the Desperado Tacos, twin puffy tacos filled with slices of beef or chicken fajita and […]
