This — and all the Dallas BBQs — are wildly overpriced for deeply mediocre barbecue. Service is generally hit-or-miss and it’s always SO LOUD IN THERE.

I wait all year for their special Christmastime-only borscht. Try it next year!

It’s a fried hot dog. Fried meat = an absolute good. Plus old school arcade games! EVERYONE WINS

I cannot walk past this place without getting at least one taco.

Good! Not quite as good as Tasty Dumpling around the corner, but still very very good.

Five dumplings for a buck — couldn’t be good, right? Well, you are right. These dumpling aren’t good. They are THE BEST.

Not bad, but I would much rather head to Fay Da bakery instead.

The only place in town worth standing and listening to some jackhole’s cell phone conversation for 20 minutes because it really is that good.

The chicken… MY GOD, THE CHICKEN. A whole roast chicken, beans, rice, plantains, for less than $20 cannot be beat.

It’s not amazing, but it’s always, solidly good. (Plus, I live almost within sight. I think I’m putting one their kids through college singlehandedly.) Their garlic knots with cheese are great.
