Just who is this Jason fellow, anyway? Jason’s Deli was founded by a guy named Joe in Beaumont, Texas in 1976, so no clues there – but whoever Jason is, he’s obviously got a penchant for salad bars and soft-serve. All 200-plus locations of the fast-casual deli chain showcase the aforementioned offerings, plus a large […]
Since 1977 Javier’s has been a Mexican classic in Dallas, one that sneers at Tex-Mex in favor of sophisticated Mexico City cuisine. It’s a dark destination, a hideaway shielded in lush Park Cities foliage. Yet with all of this, we find ourselves in deep “like.” There’s no denying its elegant rusticity (two stuffed bears-felled by […]
This old-timer–a decade just off the Addison strip qualifies in the longevity department–serves decent steaks, seafood and other American fare in an attractive space with lots of wood paneling and a pressed-tin ceiling. The full-flavored aged steaks are a good bet, but we also liked the baked ziti, a huge mound of tasty pasta and […]
Since 1983, John and Julie Broad have owned and operated the kind of place where everybody knows your name. That type of hospitality only makes the from-scratch, small-batch, freshly baked cookies even better, say the regulars — some of whom have patronized JD’s Chippery since the beginning.

Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior is surprisingly spacious, with seating for approximately 150, both inside and outdoors. The dark sage green walls create […]

A Midland-Odessa transplant founded by Jorge Veloz Sr., this One Arts Plaza outpost was opened in 2008 by Veloz and family. The overall ambiance is one typical of Tex-Mex eateries the world over. However, its proximity to Dallas performing arts institutions gives it a more sophisticated sheen for the event-night crowd. Suits and evening wear […]
This upscale Mexican restaurant, conveniently located near some of Dallas’ wealthiest neighborhoods, serves two menus. The first, which it debuted in 2017, is a canny setlist of fancied-up Tex-Mex favorites, such as $17 seafood enchiladas. The menu-within-a-menu is the work of a chef hired in late 2018, Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman, who brings her own distinctive and […]

Located on Cedar Springs in the Oak Lawn area, this popular bar has been remodeled and expanded three times since its opening in 1980. JR’s boasts three full bars — two downstairs and another upstairs on its usually bustling covered patio/balcony. The patio makes for a great place to watch the basic hustle and bustle […]
Jubilee Café in Carrollton is a dessert-forward Korean-owned spot that originated in Palisades Park, NJ, and got our attention via pictures of its teddy bear latte that is trending all over social media. What started as primarily a chocolatier has become a cute little café that serves brunch, sandwiches, pastas, a full range of coffee […]
