Charlie’s Opa! Grille

Progeny of longtime Dallas restaurateur Charlie Venetis, Charlie’s Opa! Grill is a rich cacophony of Greek food, sprawling the gamut with deliciously tender lamb chops, flaky spanakopita (a savory pie), juicy grilled chicken, gyros carvings that are lean, rich moussaka (Greek lasagna) and saganaki, thick pie sections of lightly breaded Romano cheese that is deep-fried, […]

Charlie’s Star Lounge

“Be Kind, Unwind” is the tagline for this bar right outside of Deep Ellum in the location of the old Starlight Lounge. Allen Falker, owner of Nines in Deep Ellum, and general manager Corey Howe had to replace almost everything in the building: plumbing, electrical, roof, floor, HVAC, bathrooms (for ADA compliance), the parking lot. […]

Chennai Cafe

Chennai breaks the mold of the stereotypical suburban Indian restaurant with clean, modern décor, and thali options instead of buffets. Every meal must be ordered off a sprawling menu that may contain significantly more dishes you don’t recognize than ones you do. This is a good thing. The more obscure preparations are the most robust, […]

Chet’s

Chet’s is an Irish and American pub serving classic fare from both sides of the pond. The restaurant sits on the corner of Elm and Market Street, near a DART station making it an easy spot to grab dinner before a game or concert at the American Airlines Center. The menu has some of the […]

Chilangos Tacos

Deep in the maze of warehouses, industrial plants and nightclubs along Harry Hines Boulevard, Chilangos serves a short menu of tacos along with spicy elote cups and horchata. The interior is a chic tribute to Mexico City, with the ordering counter made to resemble a street or market stall, Topo Chico bottles converted into flower […]

Chip’s Old Fashioned Hamburger

Chip’s Old Fashioned Hamburger is known for its juicy, one-third- to one-half-pound burgers served up on poppy-seed-encrusted buns. Add-ons range from the typical (caramelized onions, mushrooms, bacon) to the slightly more exotic (guacamole, fried green tomatoes or poblano peppers). Fries are fairly standard, but skin-on and well-seasoned, and the habitually indecisive will be pleased to […]

Chipotle Mexican Grill

Known for its clean, minimalist atmosphere and hefty foil-wrapped burritos the size (and weight) of a small infant, Chipotle pioneered the fast-casual, assembly line Mexican food genre that’s since grown to encompass chains like Qdoba and Baja Fresh. The protocol in Dallas/Fort Worth and elsewhere? Diners proceed single-file down the line and orchestrate the construction […]

Chivago

This is a Korean fried chicken place foremost, and one orders via a three-step process where you first pick the chicken (wings, boneless or whole), then the batter (crispy which is a lighter brown, or Chivago, which is a darker brown) and finally the sauce (from such choices as soy garlic, bulgogi barbecue, honey garlic, […]
