Restaurants

The Statler’s R&B closed this weekend.

Wayback Burgers has an, uh, interesting way of doing things.

A new health-focused, grab-and-go cafe has arrived in the ever-growing Victory Park. Hatchways Cafe comes to us from Rebees, the Dallas-based development firm that is opening accompanying Hatchways Workspace, a coworking space similar to WeWork, which has an outpost a few blocks down the road. The interior is bright and…

The new Ceviche Oyster Bar on West Davis, a few blocks from Bishop Arts, brings unpretentious Gulf seafood to a former mechanic’s shop.

A year ago, Andrea Meyer, owner of Bisous Bisous Patisserie, had a massive health scare. In classic Andrea Meyer form, the people who love her sweets hardly noticed her short absence.

What used to be Down to Earth food truck is now Arlington’s new (and only) vegan Mexican restaurant, Down to Earth Vegan.

Our review of Circo TX, published in January, suggested that the restaurant “could stay open for months.” Now we know how many. Circo served its last meal Sunday, after just nine turbulent months after opening. It’s a pity, really. That glass-bottomed rooftop swimming pool had finally opened. The restaurant’s closure…

It seems logical to assume that opening a new restaurant would take lots of planning. Perhaps the future owners would scout locations, do some research about the neighborhood and line up finances. Then there’s build-out, menu planning, stocking the kitchen and training staff. Months might go by, or maybe a…

There have been whispers — David Haynes has heard the gossip from friends — that he’s restaurant cheating. It’s been about five years since he and wife and business partner Catherine Jacobus opened the doors of a thin-crust pizza joint on the corner of Elm and Good Latimer, and they’re embracing…

You can get a lot of international cuisines in Frisco. And thanks to the new Aussie Grind, you can add Australian fare to the list.

A Chicago-based concept called Foxtrot is opening a “contemporary evolution of the corner store on McKinney Avenue in Uptown on June 25.” The all-day concept — a popular idea in Dallas right now, as evidenced by all-day destinations like The Henry and Tribal All Day Cafe, which serve everything from…

If you have a mediocre meal with fantastic service, there’s a good chance you’ll walk away feeling generally well about the experience. But when you have a subpar meal with service that seemed to have a goal of making you wait, and you’ll walk out wanting your money back. At…

Matt Pittman wasn’t born in Texas, but he barbecues like a native. After his first exposure to true Central Texas barbecue, Pittman’s passion for smoking meats grew quickly, and soon he was a regular on the competition barbecue circuit. In 2014, he landed a spot on Season 5 of the…

By and large, the standard fare at most Texas barbecue spots doesn’t stray too far from center. Brisket, sausage and ribs define true north, with beans, coleslaw, and mac and cheese the likely side choices. That said, we love to see shops flex their creative muscles, and there may be…

Few culinary changes would bring the Dallas area as big a quality-of-life improvement as putting a falafel joint in every neighborhood. We’re working on it, slowly. In the northeastern corner of Plano, Board Bites is setting an example for the kafta revolution.

Char’d wants to be the Chipotle of fast-casual South Asian food.

Dino and Megan Santonicola are opening Partenope Ristorante, an Italian restaurant dedicated to the cuisine of Naples, in the Titche-Goettinger building this fall.

Situated right across the street from Wild Acre Brewing, the new Joe Riscky’s Barbecue has Fort Worth barbecue legacy and shockingly inexpensive eats.

Tender Smokehouse was a huge hit when the barbecue joint opened in Celina in 2018. Now, it’s taken over the massive Frisco space that formerly belonged to 3 Stacks.

How one Dallas family made an empire out of a family pad Thai recipe.

It was all a dream. Those legendary Biggie Smalls lyrics sit above a mural of the Brooklyn-born rapper in Brickhouse Burgers and Shakes. But it’s far from fan art. It poses as a precursor to what New York natives and cousins James Richardson and Jeff Dort created. When they decided…
