Here are the Top 10 Restaurant and Diner in Dallas Texas!
1. Pecan Lodge – Sandwiches, Barbeque
Morris H. – “I am glad that they were still offering to take out, but I really wish that I could have sat down to eat at the restaurant. It seems like a very cool place in a very cool part of downtown Dallas
So I can definitely say that I was craving bbq so bad that my eyes were bigger than my stomach.
I definitely wanted to try the beef ribs. I am so glad that the guy behind the counter talked me down from that ledge. All anyone needs are one beef rib at this place. It is a kind of meat. I don’t know what possessed me to add the three meat sampler to the beef rib which was pork ribs, brisket, and a sausage link. I also added a side of collard greens which tasted great
The meat was tender and well seasoned. I love to slather the meat with bbq sauce but this meat didn’t need it. The flavor was so good without it.” 5 Stars
You can find this place at 2702 Main St, Dallas, TX or you can call (214) 748-8900
2. Velvet Taco Knox – American (New), Tacos, Breakfast & Brunch
Diego E. – “Velvet Taco is a clever concept… Sure, they sell tacos but they are far from your traditional taco joint. Velvet is also significantly pricier than your traditional taco joint, but I don’t mean for that to take away from their consistently awesome product.
A creative spin on tacos, also, during pre-COVID, or more normal times, Velvet is also a staple late-night hang. You’ll find many people coming here for a late-night meal after they’ve left a club, sporting event, or simply people that want a late-night munch.
Some suggestions… DO NOT go into this place expecting to place an order without waiting in line. It is known to be quite busy, with lines out the door. If you want your food quicker, the Velvet Taco app is pretty handy and can ensure your meal ticket goes through as soon as you’ve placed it. Usually within 15-30 mins, even during busy times, they’ll have your order ready.
My personal favorite is either the #3 Spicy Tikka or the #12 Angus Brisket, two fairly popular selections. They constantly add new specials though and have the ability to modify the items within the taco if you have preferences or some sort of allergy.” 5 Stars
You can find this place at 3012 N Henderson Ave, Dallas, TX or you can call (214) 823-8358
3. Maple Leaf Diner – American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch, Diners
Mindy T. – “Our experience at Uchi was worth every penny. Dining in felt very safe during COVID. The food was spectacular and very unique. I don’t think I can find a dupe or something similar anywhere else. My favorite was the hamachi, it was so good I ordered two portions via UberEats the day after because I was having dreams about it. The service was amazing with a complimentary valet and very attentive staff. Would definitely come again” 5 Stars

5. Meso Maya Comida y Copas – Mexican, New Mexican Cuisine
David S. – “This restaurant had been on our radar for quite some time now, and so we decided to give them a try yesterday. Unfortunately, we didn’t dine in, but that didn’t matter because the dishes we ordered to go, were delicious!
This is not Tex-Mex, this is gourmet Mexican food and it is some of the best Mexican food I have eaten. We tried the Queso Poblano and it was very creamy and very good. We will be ordering that again for sure. I had the Serrano Enchiladas and oh man! They were great! There was nothing heavy about this dish like some enchilada dishes can be. This will probably be my go-to dish here. The wife ordered the Pollo from the Budan Azteca side of the menu and she loved it, (no picture though).
I love the food that we ordered and our next visit will have to be a dine-in experience.” 5 Stars

6. Rodeo Goat – Burgers, Beer Bar
Mike F. – “Great place – my boss queued me into this place – he was in Dallas when everything was shut down for Covid-19
A few months later I had to go to Dallas and they were open.
Had a great burger, fries, and a couple of beers. The young lady at the bar was very helpful – they did not have my normal beer but she found something similar that hit the spot. The burger was great – juicy and flavorful and huge. Fresh fries… very nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back to Dallas to visit again!” 5 Stars

7. rise n°1 – French, Wine Bars, Desserts
Kamil B. – “5-star experience. This was my first time at a restaurant since Covid started and it was perfect. Everyone had masks, dividers between the tables on the patio, and lots of cleaning between guests. The salmon soufflé was so good. I have zero experience with soufflés so I have nothing to compare it to but I’d come back here for sure. The warm bread they bring out, in the beginning, was tasty. The escargot soufflé was garlicky, buttery, and delicious. First time eating snails! And I loved it. Can’t wait to come back here.” 5 Stars

8. Jimmy’s Food Store – Grocery, Sandwiches, Wine Tasting Room
Terri L. – “Mi Piace!!! If you haven’t been to Jimmy’s you are missing out. Best Italian deli in the lower US! Great prices, great selection but the staff and owners really make it the best. Have a sip of vino, enjoy a sandwich, finish it up with a shot of espresso! Va bene!!” 5 Stars

The best part (aside from the chicken of course) when you pick up your food they ask “sauce with that?”. And yes, that includes ranch!!! Or any other of the homemade sauces that they offer. And they don’t give you just one sauce for free.99, they give you 3!!” 5 Stars
