Sharing some of my favorite restaurants in Dallas Fort Worth for every occasion! If you’re looking for something specific, like a burger, use the shortcut command F, then type “burger” into the search bar.
Dine In Pizza
Pie Tap is our go to dine in pizza place! They have locations in Design District and Plano. If you enjoy hummus, you are required to order that as your appetizer. It’s what dreams are made of, truly. You can’t go wrong with any of their pizzas… But we usually order the Chicken Pie or Sausage Pie. If you’re not looking to dine in, you can of course order it for delivery or to go… But the atmosphere makes for a such a cozy date night or girls night dinner!
Pie Tap is located at 1212 Oak Lawn Ave Dallas, Texas 75027. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook to see more!
Mexican
Our go-to Mexican restaurant in the Richardson area (but honestly, who are we kidding, it’s our favorite in all of DFW), is Dos Arroyos Comida Casera! You cannot go wrong with anything brisket– brisket tacos, chimichanga, enchiladas… it’s all delicious. I would suggest starting your meal with a queso and/or street corn appetizer to pair with the spicy salsa and chips. If you don’t want to dine in, they also offer take out!
Dos Arroyos Comida Casera is located at 2701 Custer Pkwy, Richardson, TX 75080. Their phone number is 972-231-8667. Be sure to follow them on Instagram and Facebook!
Lunch Meeting
I have been loving the patio at Mesero Preston Hollow Village for meetings lately! The food is always delicious- I’m a sucker for the Hollywood Cobb with chicken, nachos and the queso/quacamole appetizer. There’s plenty of parking in the garage across the street from the restaurant, plus it’s a super central location coming from Richardson to meet Dallas folks!
Mesero is located at 7775 Firefall Way, Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75230 (and other locations HERE). Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Date Night
Stirr is a great spot for date night! It’s a little bit more elevated than places we tend to go to, but not enough to where it’s overtly fancy-special-occasion vibe. It’s got great food, tasty drinks and a really unique atmosphere. We have only been to the Deep Ellum location, but I imagine Addison is just a fabulous.
Stirr is located at 5100 Belt Line Road Suite 540 Dallas, TX 7525 (Addison) and 2803 Main Street #110 Dallas, TX 75226 (Deep Ellum). Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook to see more.
Brunch
City Hall Bistro is my favorite brunch in Dallas! It is inside the Adolphus Hotel, which now that we’re on the subject would be a lovely staycation spot, in downtown Dallas. It’s a very quaint space and a fabulously curated menu. Keep an eye out for fun events happening there as well, like a DJ Brunch Series!
City Hall Bistro is located at 1321 Commerce Street Dallas, TX 75202. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Fast Casual
If you like fried pickles and tasty chicken (think Chick Fil A not KFC), then you’ll love SuperChix! I would suggest either visiting when hungry, or be prepared to share things. My husband and I typically get a main sandwich/salad for ourselves and split a side. If you can save room, they have custard and shakes… YUM!
SuperChix – Dallas is located at 14999 Preston Road Suite 226 Dallas, TX 75254. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Unique Experience
I couldn’t decide between two things… DogHaus is one of the more unique restaurants in Dallas, but Legacy Hall is such a unique dining experience, so we’re going to chat about them both!
Legacy Hall is a food court style hall in Plano Legacy West. You have dozens up options for meals around the hall, and then open seating throughout. Let everyone in your group pick their favorite food and then meet up to dine. Or if you want to get really fancy… do it family style and have everyone get something shareable!
Legacy Food Hall is located at7800 Windrose Ave Plano, TX 750241. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
DogHaus is all about unique hot dogs, sausages, burgers and sides! They also have ice cream shakes which is an immediate yes in my book. I love that they use non traditional buns to elevate each item on the menu. Take a few minutes to scroll through their photos and tell me it doesn’t peak your interest…
DogHaus is located at 744 S Central Expy Suite 210 Richardson, TX 75080. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Coffee Shop
If you’re in downtown Dallas, be sure to stop by Otto’s! It’s located inside the Adolphus hotel and is a very chic coffee destination.
Otto’s Coffee and Fine Foods is located at 1321 Commerce Street Dallas, TX 75202. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Pizza Delivery
We have recently become a big ZaLat household. I’d had it a time or two since living in Dallas, but over the last few months we’ve been ordering it about once a month. If you want a recommendation on what to order, I’ve been really digging the Nashville Hot Chicken and Pickles. It’s good fresh and even tastes amazing the day after without heating it up. They have a few locations throughout DFW!
ZaLat Pizza has many locations throughout DFW (all locations HERE). Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Burger – Casual
Twisted Root has had a place in my heart ever since I first moved to DFW 10 years ago! If we’re being honest, the pickle bar is what first did it for me. Then I realized they had great shakes. And started to explore the variety of burgers on the menu… It’s fabulous and not in a “we’re at a fancy burger place” or a “fast food burger” kind of way.
Twisted Root has a few locations (locations HERE). Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Ice Cream
My favorite thing to talk about… ICE CREAM! If we’re down in Dallas, I love that Jeni’s Ice Cream recently opened up in Deep Ellum. It’s not cheap, but dang it’s good.
Jeni’s Ice Cream is located at 264 Main Street Dallas,TX 75226. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook to see more.
We live in the Richardson area and love taking anyone who comes to visit us to Sweet Firefly (conveniently located right next to our favorite Mexican restaurant).
Sweet Firefly is located at 2701 Custer Parkway Suite 810 Richardson, TX 75080. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Baldo’s Ice Cream is my go to for grabbing ice pints to go- and they recently opened a new location, which is so exciting! Of course you can also get pints at Jeni’s and Sweet Firefly, but I usually get cones at those spots!
Baldo’s Ice Cream is located at 6401 Hillcrest Ave Dallas, TX, 75205. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
BBQ
There are lots of great BBQ restaurants in Dallas Fort Worth, but honestly I haven’t been to that many. I’ve become a big fan of Ferris Wheelers. I love the food and the atmosphere is incredibly unique. They literally have a ferris wheel in the back patio!
Ferris Wheelers is located at 1950 Market Center Blvd Dallas TX75207. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Elevated Burger
If I’m looking for a really fancy burger, I’m heading to Deep Ellum for the MXM Burger at Harlowe MXM. Listen to the description (brisket short rib, double double, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, thick bacon), then look at the picture… Tell me this isn’t drool worthy!
Harlowe MXM is located at 2813 Main Street Dallas, TX 75226. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
Casual Sandwiches
Two words for you… East Hampton! They’ve got fabulous salads, wraps and sandwiches for all sorts of taste buds. If you like seasonal specials, they also have you covered on that. I 10/10 recommend a side of sweet potato fries while you’re there, too.
East Hampton Sandwich Co.has a few locations in DFW (listed below). Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook.
6912 Snider Plaza Dallas TX 75205
200 Crescent Court, Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75201
1605 South University Drive, Fort Worth, TX 76107
3888 Oak Lawn Avenue Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75219
Sushi
Sushi Marquee at the Frisco Star is one of my favorite spots to get sushi in DFW! Now take this with a grain of salt because I think I’ve been to 5 sushi spots… But there’s something about Sushi Marquee that has always stood out from the rest to me!
Sushi Marquee is located at 3625 The Star Blvd Suite 315 Frisco, TX 75035. Be sure to follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
