Aw Shucks

For more than 20 years, this neighborhood spot has been shelling out cheap mollusks with even cheaper brewskis. Much of the food comes in fried renditions, including oysters. However, there are many preparations offered, some unusual for shuck shack – stringed lights, coolers and picnic tables included – such as a ceviche and a trio […]

Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca is possibly the most difficult-to-find restaurant and bar in Dallas. To get to the Oak Cliff hideaway, enter at Xaman Cafe, then head down a back hallway to a wooden door. Step inside to one of the most transformative experiences in Dallas. The speakeasy style bar is moody and enchanting offering an experience like […]

B2J Suancai Soup

For cold appetizers, a popular choice is the spicy and sour fern starch noodles. It looks like squid-ink noodles and is topped with chiles, sesame seeds and their signature sour sauce. For hot appetizers, you can’t go wrong with the fried Chinese doughnuts, fried milk custard or fried chicken wings. The fried Chinese doughnuts are […]

Babe’s Chicken Dinner House

We figure there’s something wrong with people who can’t enjoy an occasional fried chicken dinner. Nonetheless, we feared we’d be wandering onto the documentary set piece for America: The Obese at Babe’s, a venerable family dining establishment in a Garland strip mall, a place where you’d expect to find an all you can eat fried […]

Babe’s Chicken Dinner House

The small menu here reflects the predominantly fried All-Stars of Texan and Southern cuisine. There’s fried chicken and chicken-fried steak, natch. There’s fried catfish and pot roast. There’s fried chicken tenders and smoked chicken. That’s the entire selection of main dishes at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. No joke. And that’s a relief to see in […]

Baboush

Persistent chatter and clanking silverware signals that you’ve found one of Uptown’s more promising dining spots in Baboush. Hummus and babaganoush are safe plays, served with plenty of warm pita for dipping, but the entire menu warrants attention. Shrimp and chicken kebabs and other street plates deliver bites that push conventional Moroccan cooking while staying […]

Baby Back Shak

A half slab at this barbecue joint means seven baby back ribs kissed with smoke, spiced with pepper and just-right tender: The meat doesn’t fall off the bone, but pulls off with the gentlest of tugs. It just narrowly beats out the boudin plate as our favorite order, but the boudin (here spelled boudain) is […]

Bachman Tacos and Grill

The world would be all the better if it were filled with more trompo taco fans. To make a great trompo taco, the vertical spit has to spin, but at many places business isn’t steady enough to keep the contraption in motion. Not so at Bachman Tacos and Grill, where tacos are a necessary add […]
