Ivy Tavern is a local’s spot. Good news: you can be a local. And you and you and youuuuu. The Ivy is a big sports fan with lots of spirit. The inside bar is dark and comfortable, but be sure to saunter around to the back door for the big patio bar and courtyard. Don’t let […]
This shop boasts it has the best hummus in Dallas, but what it really gives you is the option of teleportation to the Mediterranean or New York when you enter under the yellow awning. Customers can order myriad mezze at this sister joint to Caf
This recently opened Henderson Avenue hot spot may look a lot like the original Austin location, but the designers of the Dallas branch of the “Feel Good Lounge” went with a more polished, less rock-and-roll feel that’s appropriately Dallas. The interior has the feel of a place to kick back, compatible with enjoying its top-shelf […]

One of Arlington’s longstanding favorite watering holes is J. Gilligan’s Bar & Grill. Located near the center of downtown Arlington, J. Gilligan’s has been the home away from home for Arlington residents and University of Texas at Arlington students for over 30 years. The bar has a laid-back roadhouse vibe that is well suited to […]
“20 Years and Still Cookin’” pretty much nails J’s. It’s amazing so many people can eat all that weighty American goodness and live for that long. It must have something to do with the food, cheaper than last night’s grease and the “kiss my grits” staff. Operating ’round the clock (making it a good place […]

Customers who have traveled to the Big Apple’s Chinatown swear this East Dallas joint, in an old drive-in, is the closest thing to New York Chinese food in Big D (especially if driving up 75 to Richardson is out of the question). Aside from the standard Americanized Chinese choices, there are more traditional options tacked […]
When it opened, Jalisco Norte faced a tough challenge: Satisfy the somewhat risk-averse palates of the Uptown and Park Cities moneyed classes while giving an acclaimed Mexican chef space to innovate. So far, that balance appears to be working; chef Jose Meza gets to roll out monthly specials like escamoles (ant larvae), but he’ll fix […]
This longtime Mesquite institution serves some of the area’s best Caribbean food, including lovely beef patties with vivid yellow flakey pastry crusts, lively bone-in curries and tender jerk chicken with eye-opening spices. The rice and peas (that’s Jamaican for rice and beans) are terrific, too. Top pick: Excellent jerk chicken comes in heaping portions; there’s […]

Since 1977 Javier’s has been a Mexican classic in Dallas, one that sneers at Tex-Mex in favor of sophisticated Mexico City cuisine. It’s a dark destination, a hideaway shielded in lush Park Cities foliage. Yet with all of this, we find ourselves in deep “like.” There’s no denying its elegant rusticity (two stuffed bears-felled by […]
Since 1983, John and Julie Broad have owned and operated the kind of place where everybody knows your name. That type of hospitality only makes the from-scratch, small-batch, freshly baked cookies even better, say the regulars — some of whom have patronized JD’s Chippery since the beginning. Always gooey and warm from continuous baking, chances […]
