Look past the silly names for entrees such as Cure For The Common Cabbage or Everybody Loves Relleno, and you’ll quickly realize that Rye serves seriously good fare that you’re unlikely to find in mainstream Dallas restaurants. Dinners are built from an array of plates that grow progressively larger on the menu, each selection a […]

Showing 2245 - 2266 of 2976A go-to for Gulf oysters, where the turnover is so high a team of shuckers work up front at lightning speed. With custom made cocktail sauce and a handful of crackers you can make a whole meal out of these meaty specimens.
ablon Chocolate Lounge takes inspiration from the Belgian chocolate culture, claiming high-quality chocolate “is a birth right that should be enjoyed by everyone.” The menu is indulgent in every sense; the selection, the portions, and the prices all staggering.
Sachet’s vegetable-focused, elegant Mediterranean plates of food start from impeccable ingredients, and they’re served in portions small enough that we can try more. It’s possible to focus on a different aspect of this restaurant with each visit: Come once to sample Sachet’s seasonal house-made pastas – Sachet is one of the best pasta joints in […]
Many of the regulars at this Richardson institution come to share a bounteous portion of whole roasted catfish, priced by size and served with rice paper, sauces and herbs for make-them-yourself spring rolls. There are also roasted quail and buttery frog legs on the menu at Saigon Block, which specializes in the kind of banquet […]
Just across the parking lot from Quoc Bao (and a two-minute walk from Pho Bang), Saigon Deli’s emphasis is more on the filling of the sandwiches rather than the bread. Spring for seafood or excellent, rich pate, which is a perfect foil to the slices of jalapeno. Plus, unlike Quoc Bao, Saigon Deli has tables.
This bar in East Dallas has an old soul. From two experienced barkeeps – original mixologist Gabe Sanchez, previously of Black Swan in Deep Ellum, and Ryan Payne – this is a slinky black dress with an attitude of indifference. Sip a cocktail like the Big Booty Trudy or order a boilermaker from the Churched […]
In a small garden tucked behind Sakhuu Thai in East Dallas, owner Kyla Phomsavanh grows the building blocks for his curries, stir fries and other Thai dishes. Have a seat in the dark-toned dining room and make friends with the staff. They’re as warm and welcoming as a steaming bowl of tom kha soup. If […]
The eponymous Sal opened his first hand-tossed pie shop in New York in 1975. Since moving the operation to Big D in 1982, Sal’s has outgrown its original location and now includes a Plano branch. Both spots offer classic New York-style pizza, such as the traditional Margherita, white and Alfredo varieties. They also offer signature […]
Sali’s Pizza and Pasta specializes in New York-style pies, because have you ever met anyone named Sali who wasn’t from New York? (Then again, have you ever met anyone named Sali at all?) Monikers aside, Sali’s has been serving pizza, pasta and calzones to legions of loyal Garland customers for decades. The decor is typical […]
After a slew of new chefs revolved through the kitchen, Abraham Salum’s little place continues apace, sometimes unnoticed but never unappreciated-at least by those who frequent the little place. The cooking is solid at the very least and intriguing most of the time. Hearty sandwiches (like a rustic BLT) compete with a diverse group of […]
