21 Must-Try Restaurants In Dallas, Texas
Crave DFW

There are so many things to love about Dallas, Texas and one of my favorite things is the food. There are so many choices originating from all over the world. Some of the most premiere restaurants serving gourmet food to hole-in-the-wall dives that take a little trust to even step foot in. No matter what you're in the mood for or if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, you'll find it on this list!

1. Nick and Sam's Steakhouse.

Nick and Sam's is one of the top premiere steakhouses in Dallas, known for its mellow atmosphere and retro vibe. There is nothing bad on this menu and you'll have a dinner unlike anything else.

2. The Porch.

The Porch has some of the greatest sandwiches on toast you'll ever find. This place never disappoints and it will be a repeat restaurant for all who try. And make sure to try the "Gooey Butter Cake" for dessert and thank me later.

3. Hunky's Hamburgers.


Burgers, fries, chicken tenders, onion rings, whatever you order, you'll love. Hunky's is no doubt all-American food that everyone needs in their life.

4. Little Katana.

You want sushi? This is my go-to place every time. The sushi is so fresh and nothing ever disappoints about this restaurant. It's definitely a favorite find of mine and everyone must try.

5. Highland Park Soda Fountain.

Get taken back in time at this Highland Park dime. Really one of the most under-credited spots in Dallas that deserves every bit of recognition.

6. Emporium Pies.


Craving dessert after dinner? Emporium Pies is the place to go! The flavors change with the seasons so you always get to try new kinds of pie that are absolutely delicious.

7. Kitchen LTO.

The LTO in Kitchen LTO stands for "Limited Time Only." This restaurant gets a new chef every six months to bring a whole new type of food and menu! It's one of the coolest concepts for a restaurant that lets you try so many food options.

8. Coal Vine's.

If you're a lover of wood-fired oven pizza, then you've found the place! They're are so many similar restaurants in the area, but Coal Vine's offers a more unique dining experience.

9. Royal China.

This place looks super sketchy from the outside, but is really nice on the inside with even better food! They're known for their dumplings, which I recommend, but is a place that all Chinese food fans must try.

10. Gloria's.

Gloria's is a locally grown Mexican restaurant which began over in the Bishop Arts District. They're authentic recipe's and outstanding entrees are a must have.

11. Original Market Diner.

Get taken back to the '50s when you walk through the door of the home style cooking diner. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every kind of meal you can have here is going to be a good one. Also, they have some of the best coconut creme pie ever.

12. Al Biernat's.

Al Biernat's offers fine dining of both steak and seafood, both of which, are never a wrong decision. The cuisine is fantastic as well as the service.

13. Saint Rocco's New York Italian.

Saint Rocco's is new to the Trinity Grove area and already making impressions everywhere. They play music from artists like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, have delicious entrees, and an authentic atmosphere.

14. Twisted Root.

Twisted Root offers to-die-for burgers every time and instead of order numbers, you get names of celebrities, athletes, and so on which only add to the experience.

15. Amberjax's.

Amberjax's offers an ever changing menu that is full of their fresh fish for that day. They have sauces poured over your fish that only add to the flavor. Always amazing dishes!

16. Hibiscus.

Cusine here is a lot like at Al Biernat's, just a little less fancy than Al Biernat's, but still just as delicious!

17. Bob's Steakhouse.

Many (a.k.a. my dad and brother) argue that Bob's is the best steak of your life. It's a place you'll go back to again and again and be just as impressed each time.

18. Fernando's.

Fernando's has a really cool setup to begin with. Stairs take you up to the second story restaurant (there is a store below) for one-of-a-kind Mexican dishes that will leave you impressed.

19. Maple Motor's Burgers.

This place looks a little sketchy from the outside and a little cramped on the inside but believe me when I tell you the burgers are worth it, time and a half.

20. Serious Pizza.

Located in Deep Ellum, these pizzas are probably the largest you've ever seen. New York-style pizza, Texas sized.

21. Steel Restaurant and Lounge.

With some of the best Japanese cuisine and sushi you've ever had, this restaurant is super nice!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
