Great Pizza in Fort Worth: recommendations anyone?
He said Parton's, not Pizza Patron.
Parton's has been around for 30 years. It's on Cherry Lane a half-mile south of I-30.
Star Telegram's Best of Fort Worth
I read the paper every day and never saw a "Best Of" -- they must have hidden it!
[DAL] New Mexican style restaurants in DFW
Y'all need to come try Anthony's Place in Fort Worth on Meacham west of I-35.
He used to be a chef in Santa Fe. Great red and green chile and pure Santa Fe all the way.
He has another place in Parker County named La Choza.
[Dallas] Restaurant Week Reviews
Lanny's in Fort Worth is doing a great job. The entree choices are coconut-crusted halibut or duck with poblano risotto -- he is extending for the next 2 weeks --
Fried Chicken
Babe's uses the Youngblood's recipe. I think they have 8 locations now.
Moving to Tyler, where do we eat?
What about The Shed at Edom?
Great little home-cooking cafe and pie place. It's just a few miles west of the Tyler airport.
Good Eats around DFW/Grapevine Area
Best breakfast near DFW is at Weck's in Lewisville --
Albuquerque cafe with Santa Fe-style green and red chile huevos rancheros, awesome burritos and lunches.
Granbury, TX
1. Loco Coyote steaks & BBQ south of Glen Rose
2. Lone Camp Steakhouse southwest of Granbury near Tolar -- a Texas Monthly top 50
3. Grumps Hamburgers
Hard Eight BBQ (coppell, tx)
Steaks are great.
Everybody ought to go back and get a steak.
(DFW/Arlington) Christmas Tamales
Cardona Tortilla Factory off Loop 820 in Fort Worth makes serviceable commercial tamales. Better than Marquez, which I agree has become skimpy.
I second the nomination for La Popular, too.
And what about Fiesta Grocery? I've heard they have great tamales.
Thanksgiving at Vance Godbey's?
Vance's is a huge buffet -- decent food, better than a cafeteria.
If you're in NRH, I would go to the new Copeland's at Southlake Town Square. Menu looks good!
Greetings from a new Dallasite
The original Bangkok City at Bryan and Peak is far better than the Greenville location --
I would encourage anybody to try it before ranking the "best" Thai.
Lunch 35 between dallas and temple
Great liitle Greek place on the north edge of West.
[DFW] San Franciscan turned Texite in Need of EXTREME help
Best local restaurants in Greater Southlake:
1. Kincaid's
2. Bin 555, Coppell -- great Southwestern wine bar and grill
3. Coppell Deli -- old grocery and burger grill
4. Thai Jasmine -- Harwood in Bedford
5. Fish City Grill -- good little seafood cafe for a Texas suburb
6. Babe's
7. Biscuits Cafe, Grapevine -- good West Coast-style breakfast cafe
8. Weck's, Lewisville -- probably the closest New Mexico or Arizona-style Mex breakfast and lunch, unless you count Blue Mesa Grill
9. Thai Chili in the Square -- avoid all other wretched Square chain restaurants, at least until the new Campania Pizza opens
10. Gloria's -- if you don't like tex-mex try Salva-Mex!
NYC Style Deli in Big D
Carshons, Carshons, Carshons!
It's been in FW 80 years. Great matzoh ball soup and thick corned-beef or pastrami sandwiches.
Lunch only Mon-Sat. But worth the trip, if only for the chocolate meringue pie.

Tasty mid-range in Ft. Worth?
Jack's? Ewwwww.
What do you mean by offbeat?
Interesting food? Try Byblos Lebanese on North Main.
Off-the-beaten-path? Go to Drew's Place on Horne south of Camp Bowie for catfish, or Mi Cocinita in a family's backyard for tamales and tacos (lunch only Wed-Fri)
Best BEEF ribs in Dallas (BBQ)?
Guys, I don't think Angelos has ever had *beef* ribs. And I don't remember seeing them at Sonny Bryan's.
White queso in DFW area
Benitos's has queso blanco flameado - if that's what you meant.
As I recall, La Familia's queso is white.
Birthday dinner in Dallas/Ft. Worth
First night -- Drinks at Byblos Lebanese, watch the bellydancer, then Lonesome Dove for dinner.
Second night -- Reata dinner (maybe the rooftop). Then go to a downtown concert at Bass Hall or Ovation jazz club on Camp Bowie.
best bbq near fort worth
Nobody has said it yet, so I'll go ahead--
If you're a BBQ fanatic, nothing in DFW is as good as in Central Texas.
Generally, the Railhead has excellent ribs and Angelo's has the best brisket. There's also a place down south named Cousin's with very nice brisket.
No place else comes close, although the North Main $12 buffet is a good deal.
Sushi in Fort Worth
If you like the Miami style with lots of sauces, go to Piranha downtown or Edohana on Hulen.
For basic sushi rolls, I like Japanese Palace, a hibachi steakhouse on the westside.
None are as good as Dallas restaurants.
Birthday dinner in Dallas/Ft. Worth
Not enough specifics. Age of group? What do you consider "fun"? What are your favorite restaurants?
Plenty of folks go to Joe T. Garcia's and pound margaritas for a "fun" birthday.
Others go drink beer and dance German polka at Edelweiss.
Impressive Dallas restaurant for a group of 15
Can you be more specific about what you like, or give examples?
I agree that the two suggestions above are pretty basic grills.
Even the Bistro N at Nordstrom is more interesting -- it's a nicer cafe and wine bistro inside the department store. Great menu.
Dallas food & other info?
There's a place right by UT-Southwestern called Escondido.
Tiny little Tex-Mex hole-in-the-wall on Butler Street. Great stuff.
Downtown Ft Worth... Good Food!
Those great BBQ places are 200 miles south.
But there's two decent BBQ places about 2 miles west of downtown: Railhead Smokehouse on I-30 at Montgomery, or Angelo's behind Montgomery Plaza on White Settlement Road.
Riscky's BBQ downtown is passable at best.
Agree with the other recs above.
Smorgasbord/Cafeterias-Dallas
No cafeteria on earth is better than the Casa Linda Cafeteria in Dallas.
It's full of good home cooking. Also, there's a Sunday roadhouse buffet west of Fort Worth, Vance Godbey's Restaurant, with filet mignon, BBQ, catfish and southern veggies.
