Across from the taco truck, every street corner in America needs a Lebanese fast-food joint for falafel emergencies. Until that utopia arrives, we’ll all have to head to Plano, where Board Bites has been serving up a short menu of shawarma wraps, kebabs, spicy hummus and not much else since spring 2018. Of course, not […]
There are steakhouses for celebrating business deals, steakhouses for wooing lovers and steakhouses where the only imperative is to enjoy a good plate of quality red meat. Bob’s Steak and Chop Shop falls in the latter category. The flavorful steaks all come with a massive peeled-and-parsley-ed carrot, but the potato’s left to the diner’s discretion. […]
There are steakhouses for celebrating business deals, steakhouses for wooing lovers and steakhouses where the only imperative is to enjoy a good plate of quality red meat. Bob’s Steak and Chop Shop falls in the latter category. While parties flock to this local favorite, there are few better spots for a single eater to sidle […]
Located inside The Exchange food hall at the AT&T Discovery District, Bobbers Burgers and Whips offers flamed-grilled burgers, hot dogs and fries. Queso plays a prominent role on the menu and should be slathered on everything. The ooey-gooey pimento cheese burger is strongly recommended. They also serve the vegan pineapple dessert made famous at Disney […]
The Boiler Room, located on Elm Street across from Dada in Deep Ellum, received a facelift less than a year after opening.

Bolla is chef David Bull’s (late of the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Iron Chef gladiator, Mansion alum) interpretation of “modern” Italian. The cuisine is careful and exacting, though its strokes of originality sometimes come across more as mesmerizing charms than as means to flavorful ends. Risotto stumbles and pork diavolo confounds while duck leg confit […]
Mike Leatherwood’s tiny chain of breastaraunts can be summed up in three keywords: barbecue, beer and beauties. The latter are called “Daddy’s Girls,” and serve the former two items while clad in tight-fitting clothes. Surprise, surprise: The main clientele are men sucking down cold ones and hickory-smoked ‘cue, like the three-meat house platter with two […]
The Bone has been a Deep Ellum mainstay for nearly two decades. It’s a great hangout for locals and a great place to catch a band, but the real beauty of the place is in its patrons. Being a Deep Ellum bar means being a melting pot for hipster, hip-hoppers, bikers, and just about anyone […]
When you enter Bongo Beaux’s, you’ll hear sounds of accordions and fiddles from the Zydeco music playing in the background and see gold, purple, and green accents all over the place. The stuffed raccoons playing a serious game of Bourré are an awesome addition. And the most eye-catching piece of décor is the giant mural […]

In the historical Dallas home of Ahab Bowen, you can brush with a bit of local history while you slam back a few cold beers. It’s located conveniently in uptown Dallas, in, well, an old house. The drink menu tends toward the upscale, with a classy wine list and an assortment of beers in draft, […]

Addison’s 300 Dallas is a 45,000-square-foot entertainment destination featuring pool tables, video games, air hockey tables and more than 30 “state of the art” bowling lanes. Featuring the “Xtreme Bowling” lighting and sound system, with music video screens at the end of each lane, 300 Dallas is not your grandpa’s bowling alley. There’s a full-service […]
Bowlounge isn’t cheap, and with ancient scoring machines that seem to miscount pins a few times every round, it’s not for serious bowlers. But the lanes, pin-setters and scoring methods salvaged from an East Texas alley facing demolition give off such a comforting nostalgic vibe that a little bit of scorekeeping chaos is easily overlooked.
