Smashburger

The first Dallas outpost of a popular Colorado-based chain features some of the best shakes you’ll find in the city. Made with Haagen-Dazs ice cream (and very little mix), they are thick, creamy and will make you miss childhood pleasures all the more. The burgers-smashed, naturally-are meaty, dripping examples of Americana. For a quick service […]

Smoke

Smoke Plano is a lot like the first Smoke that opened in West Dallas years ago. They have similar color schemes and logos, and when you walk through the door the smell of smoke and seared meat gives you a nice, warm hug. The two restaurants share a lot of the same menu items, too, […]

SMU Westcott Field

Located in the urban sprawl of Southern Methodist University, Westcott Field’s massive expanse of green grass plays host to SMU’s men’s and women’s soccer teams. On non-game days you’ll spot plenty of students running the track that surrounds it (or just lazily walking and texting — hey, this is college). A state-of-the-art drainage system was […]

Smyth

Owned by the gentlemen who brought you South Dallas’ swanky retro bar Cedars Social (a secret agent-themed upscale bar and restaurant), Smyth is a lush cocktail bar with a permeating ’70s vibe. Trained servers do not simply take your orders at Smyth – they seat you in one of the eight exclusive booths, which require […]

Snappy Salads

Established by former corporate drone Chris Dahlander, this joint aims to man-up salads as a cure to the fast-food lunches frequented by desk jockeys. Sure, you can munch on the usual rabbit food – Cobb, chef’s, garden – but you can also order the Mexican, which includes applewood-smoked bacon, jalape

Snookie’s Bar & Grill

Since 1996, this bar and grill has been knocking out customers with its lauded chicken-fried steak, not to mention its burgers. Predictable, as is the classic and indie rock-heavy jukebox, we know, but the ravenous droves who populate the place speak for themselves. On the way home from a night of tossing ’em back, a […]

Snuffer’s Restaurant & Bar

In this city, there are greasy burger joints and there are joints with good greasy burgers. Snuffer’s is one of the latter. The lower Greenville hot spot (other locations are scattered across the metroplex) offers the epitome of hangover relief in a hand-formed patty that is oh-so-guilt-inducing. Made to order, the devil burgers are not […]

So & So’s

The bars in Uptown have typically not been known for exemplary bar food, as most stay well within the confines of burgers and things topped with melted cheese. So&So bucks this trend with its new McKinney Avenue dining room. Sure, there’s a burger on the menu, and even pizza, but the majority of the dishes […]

Soho Food and Jazz

Whether cool or hot, smooth or be-bop, this Addison club has the appropriate menu selection with which to pair its jazz. Executive Chef Chad Burnett’s dishes serve as a counterpoint to the casual atmosphere. South Carolina hare (confit with Vidalia onion hash, a Tuaca demi and tangerine glaze), big-eye tuna (sesame seared, with jasmine gnocchi, […]
