    Akbar Indian Restaurant

    301 W. Parker Rd., Ste. 115 Plano

    972-422-4398

    , , ,
    No-fuss Indian food seems to do the trick when it comes to pleasing the masses, but Akbar does much more with its Mughal (North Indian) cuisine. Specialty dishes include Barra Akbari (skewered lamb marinated with yogurt and spices and grilled over charcoal fire). And don't fret about the apparent absence of curry on the menu at first glance -- a closer look reveals the Murg Curry Shahajani, a chicken dish from the time of the Shah Jahan, the emperor who built the Taj Mahal, or perhaps the Murg Goblwala with cauliflower. Samosas also make an appearance, as does the omnipresent lunch buffet. Thankfully, the Mughal food (otherwise know as royal cuisine) doesn't come with a hefty price tag. Plus, the BYOB policy doesn't hurt.

    The giant, complimentary garlic rolls are reason enough to visit this Lakewood bistro. But the culinary fare that comes along with it is just as good. The sampler plates are particularly tasty. Choose from choices such as the chicken parmesan, cheese ravioli with marinara sauce and fettuccine alfredo plate and the seafood manicotti, shrimp pomodora and shrimp diavolo plate. For workweek lunches, try the all-you-can-eat buffet.

    Another Broken Egg

    1152 N. Buckner Blvd. White Rock Lake Area

    214-954-7182

    ,
    From the North shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Ron E. Green's spot has spread its yolks and whites across the Gulf States. The Dallas branch is near its own landmark body of water, but not in a quaint cottage like the original. This Another Broken Egg Café is in a dull strip mall. Nevertheless, it does serve the same fresh, creative takes on morning and lunch grub. Among the menu options are the crab cakes cavallo, an eggs benedict special and bananas foster with a choice of pancake, waffle or French toast and beignets.

    Arcodoro & Pomodoro

    100 Crescent Court, Ste. 140 Uptown/Oak Lawn

    214-871-1924

    , , , ,
    Arcodoro & Pomodoro is no longer the casual, family-friendly Italian joint it was when the restaurant was in residence on Routh Street, and that's a boon for serious devotees of Sardinian cooking. Now in nearby Crescent Court, the restaurant excels at hard-to-find dishes such as suckling pig, panadeddas and delicate "music bread." While the pastel décor is underwhelming, diners are advised to keep their eyes on their plates-especially when enjoying the irresistible grilled sea bass, plunked between crispy crab cakes and served over scallop spinach pasta.

    Bailey's Prime Plus Steakhouse

    8160 Park Lane Northeast Dallas

    214-750-8100

    , , ,
    Beef's the star at this upscale eatery, but the kitchen staff thankfully strays into the dairy section of the food pyramid to do miraculous things with liberal doses of cheese. The manly menu includes a terrific appetizer of Romano-encrusted crisp-tender asparagus; bacon-wrapped shrimp crammed with cheddar; "that salad," featuring brandied cherries and crumbled Oregon blue; filthy rich scalloped potatoes and an unforgettable four-cheese lobster mac that pairs beautifully with a rib-eye or filet. Still, the restaurant's true to steakhouse traditions, treating its guests with kid-gloves care: Leftovers-if there are any-are sent home in black boxes closed with gold monogram seals.

    Bent Tree Grill

    18110 Midway Rd. Carrollton/Farmers Branch

    972-248-3559

    , ,
    Bent Tree Grill, a long-time North Dallas bar, hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. But the dimly lit speakeasy feel of its interior suits the many regulars who have been stopping by since the place opened. Low ceilings, thick carpet, and candlelight evoke comparisons to New York's Little Italy neighborhood. So too, does the menu, which features several pizzas and pasta dishes, though it also includes pub-grub staples such as chicken tenders and wings. Even if you're just looking for a place to have a drink in the Bent Tree area, you should be able to find something you'd like with ease on the bar's surprisingly complete cocktail menu and wine list.

    Big Star Burgers

    3813 Main St., Rowlett Garland & Vicinity

    214-703-0093

    , ,
    Rowlett sure found star quality when Big Star came to town. Fresh, juicy and well-seasoned burgers are tough to beat, but the Buffalo chicken sandwich is a proven winner. Fries and onion rings are both indulgent and tasty sides, but if you can't decide between the two, just go for the co-star basket and sample a bit of both. The service at Big Star is home-town friendly, but the ingredients are as first-rate as the celebrities that gaze down from the vintage movie posters on the walls.

    For more than 30 years the Black Eyed Pea has been turning out casual home cooking with a Southern flare for diners looking for a comfortable meal on the cheap. Think mashed potatoes with the skins left on and pot roast slow-simmered until it’s fork tender. They have burgers, fried green tomatoes, meatloaf and enough spinach and artichoke dip to keep the cardiac unit at Baylor profitably employed for the foreseeable future. In fact, there’s a whole section to their menu devoted to chicken, steak and other cuts of meat – all of it chicken-fried. Don’t stop now. The Black Eyed Pea has you covered for dessert. The famous Banana A’Pea’l layers rich vanilla custard with fresh bananas, vanilla wafers and tops the whole thing off with whipped cream.

    Blackjack Pizza

    2536 Martin Luther King Blvd. Oak Cliff/South Dallas

    214-565-1025

    , ,
    While this slice shop caters to the pizza-loving crowd, it also serves a mean cheeseburger, beloved by regulars for its girth and bubbling cheese. Its pizzas are whoppers as well. The specialties, like Jackpot (pepperoni, sausage, ham, ground beef, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, green and black olives and extra cheese), come large and in charge, preparing you for a food coma. Naturally, build-your-own pizzas are available. Among the options is a sauce choice, which includes traditional marinara and KC Masterpiece brand barbecue sauce. Unlike other chains, Blackjack gambles beyond putting burgers on the menu. One of the pizza toppings is anchovies. The high sugar-octane sweet tea and onion rings are also magnets to this outpost of a Colorado-based franchise chain founded by Vince Schmuhl in 1983.

    214-771-3512

    It's imported from Ohio, of all places. But this restaurant set on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard-a light-house-like wine bar detached from the dining room-tavern complex-is well-larded with Southwestern kitsch. Fake fur on chairs made of rough-hewn sticks. Whole aspen logs dangling from the ceiling. Pussy willows for table décor. A bucking horse set in ice. Prime steaks? Wood-fired and fair. Fish? Better, especially the trout and tuna. Strangely, there is not game. Yet. Won't be long before the quail and elk flock and herd, or at least it better not be. Blue Kitchen is the best culinary experiment yet on the Rockwall shoreline.

    Fajitas, tamales, enchiladas – the trifecta of Tex-Mex cookery – are the specialties at Blue Goose, matched only by the much-lauded (and guzzled) margaritas. From the original Greenville Avenue location to the locations scattered around the Dallas area, the Tex-Mex restaurant's slogan holds true everywhere. It's "Where Every Day is a Fiesta," with its all-the-colors-of-the-rainbow paint scheme and neon lighting. The signature Goose Eggs app is a plate of jalapeños stuffed with chicken and cheese with the house Durango sauce on the side. Along with the aforementioned Tex-Mex standards are signature items like the Chimichanga a la Blue Goose, Pollo a la Chipotle and twin chiles rellenos. A table with all that food on it is definitely for a party.

    The meal to have at this area favorite is the Mexican breakfast buffet. Families in their post-church Sunday best line up for the omelet bar, and Tex-Mex offerings such as the chicken and mushroom enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce and waffles. The rest of the menu, with as many ingredients locally sourced as possible, is marked by higher-end Mexican and Tex-Mex specialties such as slow-roasted natural chicken with caramelized honey-ancho glaze and the blue-corn-crusted mahi mahi with roasted poblano aioli. Of course, tacos make an appearance, but we're talking beef tenderloin tacos here. The décor follows suit with clean and colorful appointments. Reservations are most definitely recommended.

    There are steakhouses for celebrating business deals, steakhouses for wooing lovers and steakhouses where the only imperative is to enjoy a good plate of quality red meat. Bob's Steak and Chop Shop falls in the latter category. The flavorful steaks all come with a massive peeled-and-parsley-ed carrot, but the potato's left to the diner's discretion. Go with the home fries submerged in peppercorn gravy, a sufficient excuse for starting with a mere half-portion of the brawny blue cheese salad.

    As the name implies, this is a crustacean capital-in the middle of Koreatown-replete with nautical decor. Request a pile of seasonal crawfish, shrimp, snow crab and/or clams and shrimp. Gussy it up with any of the three seasonings available or throw them all in for The Whole She-bang (Rajun Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter). If you like the swimmers fried, there's plenty of fried items available as well. And if you'd like something less intensive, there's the gumbo.

    Bolla is chef David Bull's (late of the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Iron Chef gladiator, Mansion alum) interpretation of "modern" Italian. The cuisine is careful and exacting, though its strokes of originality sometimes come across more as mesmerizing charms than as means to flavorful ends. Risotto stumbles and pork diavolo confounds while duck leg confit ravioli, beef tartare and roasted beet salad revel in an off-kilter exquisiteness. Bull's culinary installations seem like demolitions administered by Rembrandt.

    Booty’s is based on a once-popular New Orleans bar that the owners wanted to revive here in Dallas. It’s hard to say what is most endearing about this spot. Either that fact that it’s connected to a hostel, or that they host drag show brunches some weekends. Or maybe it’s the vibrant plush couches and modern effects that sit flawlessly with the decades-old exposed brick wall. Then there’s the craft cocktails and stellar small kitchen pushing out small plates from around the world.

    In the historical Dallas home of Ahab Bowen, you can brush with a bit of local history while you slam back a few cold beers. It’s located conveniently in uptown Dallas, in, well, an old house. The drink menu tends toward the upscale, with a classy wine list and an assortment of beers in draft, bottles and cans. All your favorite hard liquors are available, too, so don’t fret if you need something a touch stiffer when you stop by Bowen House. There’s also an assortment of signature cocktails. If you’re feeling equal parts literary and spicy, for instance, you could try out the “For Whom the Bell Pepper Tolls,” a mix including tequila, Cynar Amaro, lime and bell pepper.

    Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982 when a guy from Buffalo, New York, traveled to Ohio to judge an amateur figure skating competition and failed to find any wings that measured up to the ones at home. Now B-Dubs, as the chain likes to call itself, has spread to nearly every state, with more than 800 locations, including several in DFW. The yellow-and-black logo features a buffalo that’s sprouted majestic wings, but make no mistake – it’s strictly chicken here, available in regular or boneless varieties in 21 flavors from Garlic Parmesan and Caribbean Jerk to Asian Zing and the simply named but much feared Blazin’. Every location features a plethora of televisions for your sports-watching needs and a plentiful selection of beer on tap.
