All hands on deck! Dive offers diners made-to-order (and ordered at the counter) dishes. Opened in 2010, owner and chef Franchesca Nor’s restaurant is housed in an old Dunkin’ Donuts in Snider Plaza. As the name suggests, seafood is Nor’s specialty here. Moreover, Nor, a California native, has lived in Miami and Italy, making the […]
Mack’s might be nestled between SMU and Park Cities, but the Chicago-style cracker crust pizza and antique brick dating before the Chicago Fire of 1871. The walls are also home to vintage works sourced from The Art Institute of Chicago’s sports memorabilia collection. D.L. Mack’s emphasizes ingredients made from scratch in-house daily with shareable snacks, […]
When we spoke to Doug Pickering about his namesake barbecue venture in Snyder Plaza, Douglas Bar and Grill, he addressed the elephant in the room right off the bat: the barbecue here is expensive. Douglas Bar and Grill is a beautiful space, and the barbecue is top-notch, from the phenomenal wagyu brisket and the perfectly […]

Since the Summer of Love, Gene Dunston and his sister Judy Dunston Kissel have made this the second home of the mesquite-broiled steak. The place is still in the family and still treating customers like family. Those in the know enter through the backdoor and have de-facto tables where they dine on prime cuts of […]

Odds are if you’re in a mid-range restaurant or in an eatery with aspirations above the middling range – even a food truck – you’re eating bread from Empire. This artisan bakery is the go-to bread and pastry joint in Big D. It has been so since owners Robert and Meaders Moore Ozarow opened it […]
If you’ve been bored with the dining scene along Travis Street, you’ve either been gone for some time or you’re not paying attention. The Establishment opened in the old Trece space and the cooking is energetic enough to enliven the entire neighborhood. The oyster bar might not look inviting but the bivalves that leave it […]
Fachini is a nod to fantastical dining: tuxedoed servers, Dean Martin crooning on the speakers, and opulent Italian decor. But it works best when its fantasy world is Texas-specific. There’s a tribute to the original Campisi’s Egyptian Restaurant, the Dallas restaurant that has served Mockingbird Lane since 1950. Fachini’s Egyptian salad ($15) starts with iceberg […]

A sumptuous array of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods greets you at Fadi’s, from lamb shanks that melt off the bone to roasted chicken, grilled-to-order kebobs, stews, and numerous fresh salads, side dishes and desserts. Served up cafeteria-style, the dishes ranged from good to outstanding on our visit, and the value is terrific, too. Try […]
While it bills itself as a neighborhood joint, Fireside Pies is still a chain, albeit a local one. It slings out crusty, pecan-wood-fired oven pizzas, like the fresh mozzarella (market tomatoes, hand-torn basil and balsamic vinegar) and the spicy Italian sausage with scamorza and roasted red onions. The rustic method of making pies is echoed […]
