Bubble tea is something you love or hate. The popularity of this bubble-tea shop shows that a lot of people fall within the former group. It might have something to do with the café being sandwiched between the Galleria Dallas and Valley View Center malls. Named after the wide straws used to consume the cold […]

Fattoush is tucked away in an obscure strip mall in the even more obscure town of Pantego that somehow earned squatters’ rights in the middle of Arlington. The chef here, Bashar Al Mudhafar, emigrated to the U.S. in 2010 after befriending American soldiers who frequented his Baghdad restaurant. One meal led to another, and after […]
The Ritz-Carlton’s swanky high-end restaurant from Dallas legend Dean Fearing is meant to be a city landmark for Southwestern cuisine. They definitely know their way around a cut of game – like bison tenderloin or thick, red slices of grilled antelope – and dessert can be downright joyous. But Fearing’s isn’t above gimmickry, like the […]
Federales in not a taqueria. It’s more like a swag-dripping day club that just so happens to serve tacos. It’s the dreamchild of Chicago-based hospitality group Four Corners, which has created a barrage of bars and eateries from Chi-Town to Big D. If you approach it from Malcolm X, the harsh exterior metal cage is […]

Arguably one of the coolest things about the far-flung northern ‘burb of Frisco (well, besides Ikea, land of $20 disposable coffee tables), Fieldhouse is a 144,000-square-foot state-of-the-art indoor sports facility just a stone’s throw from the FC Dallas arena, featuring 12 basketball courts and a massive turf-covered “field” that’s used for not only the favorite […]
The concept for The Fifth is an upscale neighborhood restaurant with a from-scratch kitchen and a big bar with strong cocktails. The dining room is of modest size with some deep spacious booths, which makes for a not-too-busy experience. It’s anchored, however, with a large bar and an even larger climate-controlled stone patio with a fireplace. […]
This new Irish-style pub offers great cheese boards, sliders with fries and pommes frites with a dipping-sauce trio of interesting alternatives to plain old ketchup. Befitting of a Euro-style pub, the Fillmore is clean and beautifully decorated with polished wood and sports sturdy, scarred, wooden tables. Unlike most bars in Ireland, though, it’s kept dark. […]

Like most of Milkshake’s Concept restaurants (which include Harper’s and Stirr) The Finch has an eclectic air. It’s a sophisticated eatery where guests can arrive dressed to the nines, enjoy crafty spins on traditional plates, and bond over well-designed cocktails. The interior design of The Finch has hardwood floors, blue and white seating and wood […]
L.I.P. Service’s second show of the 2015 season is a regional revival of David Rabe’s award winning drama Streamers, an unflinching exploration of the turmoil and confusion facing young men threatened by forces beyond their control. In this powerful American masterpiece directed by Seth Johnston (Drag Strip Courage), four young soldiers fresh from boot camp […]
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 […]
Things you won’t find here: egg rolls, sweet-and-sour pork, chicken chow mein. You will find some of the finest and most authentic Cantonese-Vietnamese food available, with a heavy use of seafood (including shrimp) and organ meats. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried. The seafood hot-pot is not to be missed.

Dangling miniature Christmas lights and plastic fish combined with tin pails of saltine crackers on all the tables give this dim, narrow seafood eatery in the middle of the Park Cities a surprising slightly laid-back, urban seaport feel. Start out with a batch of iced, fresh oysters on the half shell. If the famous slither […]
Surely the fry cooks at the defunct Long John Silvers location that now houses Fish Shack never imagined fashioning whitefish ceviche or grilling rainbow trout, both can’t-miss specialties at this humble counter-service joint in Plano. What elevates the offerings is fish fresh enough to please even a one-legged pirate: Delivery trucks visit the restaurant no […]
