It’s not easy to put “seafood” and “cheap” into the same sentence, unless you’re talking about fish balls and chum. But Big Fish manages to juggle these terms on the same menu – successfully for the most part. Oysters are good, crab legs are killer, and the shrimp cocktail is brilliant. Yet sometimes things are served […]
The company strives to offer clients signature products not found elsewhere. The owners have established solid, working relationships with artisans and craftspeople abroad and personally hand-selected every item featured in their diverse product collection.
Fresh oysters, clams and crab legs and an inland-oyster-bar atmosphere make this a festive spot, especially when the longnecks are flowing on the patio. The fried catfish (served with fat fries) is some of the best in town: crispy and greaseless. It’s a mecca, too, for crawfish lovers. The signature shrimp cocktail is made with […]

Its building was originally an open air barn built over a century ago to hold cattle for the Fort Worth Stock Show. Since then it has served as an airplane factory and department store before arriving at its true calling in 1981, opening its doors at Billy Bob’s Texas, self-billed as “the world’s largest honky […]
For a certain kind of tourist or visiting family member, this fancified, all-frills saloon in Victory Park is a guaranteed hit. It presents a dressed-up, Wild West atmosphere that verges on kitsch (and, in the name, crosses that verge), while serving up food and drink vastly better than the gimmick might suggest. An adventurous, affordable […]

Bistro 31 tries to offer two things at once with their Highland Park menu: Salt cod croquettes, escargot and steak tartare cater to the neighborhood’s well-traveled jet setters, while grilled salmon and a burger appeal to those safe-eating Dallasites who have never left home. Prices skew high, with $27 lamb loins and $16 Kobe beef […]
Bistro B (Authentic Asian Cuisine) is all kinds of awesome. It’s delicious awesome. It’s cheap awesome. It’s scary awesome. It’s “Aww, dammit, this Thai iced tea has those chewy brown gelatin bubbles in it. Why am I chewing a drink? This is wrong” awesome. Bistro B is, in fact, the Cheesecake Factory of Asian cuisine. […]
