This concept is owned by the same group that manages Dock Local. They started this spot during the pandemic as a barbecue to-go spot. When they consistently sold out, they decided to go full bore and open a restaurant. Their ground coffee rubbed smoked brisket has a deep flavor and goes beautifully on their tacos […]
Bushi Bushi is a quaint dim sum restaurant that opened in 2021. They offer a broad range of dim sum, plus a menu of entrees. Robots run orders out to tables, making for a unique experience. The crispy shrimp balls and char siu and sure shots here. Plus be sure to get a an order […]

With somewhat classier surroundings than your average strip club, Cabaret Royale caters to a more discerning clientele — sort of. While high rollers can buy a wristband and ascend the fancy staircase up to the VIP area (home to the infamous “Champagne Room”), mere mortals can stay downstairs, where the beer is just as cold, […]
Cabritos is the star at the only full-on Monterrey-style, goat-grilling show in the Dallas area. Stare through the glass kitchen wall at the massive pit, above which goat legs, shoulders and ribcages stand like planted flags, then feast on one of the cuts alongside charro beans and the restaurant’s excellent salsas. Few make-your-own-taco experiences in […]
Jean-Marie Cadot cooks up some impressive French-New American dishes at this North Dallas destination. His version of escargot, riding in a Pernod-spiked sauce, ranks amongst the best in Dallas. The homemade terrines are memorable, and most other dishes will at least set you to talking – although at review time they were still working out […]

“Great food fast,” is how the owners (Houston chef Robert Del Grande of Cafe Annie and Lonnie Shiller) like to describe this upscale counter service establishment with nine locations in Houston and Dallas. And it hits home. The “oasis,” a table in the center of the restaurant with jars of olives, pickles, capers, cornichons, shredded […]
Dallas’ most popular Turkish restaurant opens in the suburbs, and it’s even better than the original. Designer space and classic Mediterranean fare, from dolmas to the famous Iskender Kebap.
Cafe 43 is adjacent to George W. Bush Presidential Center on SMU’s campus. The restaurant opened a decade ago and tickets to the center are not required to dine at the spot. You’ll only need to pay for parking across the street, which is about $7. Food plays a big role in foreign diplomacy and […]

Regulars boast about this Italian bistro, the worst-kept secret of well-heeled Dallas insiders. Some go just for carpaccio and focaccia.
Jump into the way-back machine when you visit this brewpub. It’s like a trip to the ’70s singles scene. Only the hanging ferns are missing. Instead, you’ll find hopeful hangers-on yakking into cell phones on the patio or vying for elbow room at the bar, where there’s a lavish selection of imported brews. The regulars […]
