    Ohso L.

    The building's a bit hidden away but it looks like they get most of their business for lunch. It's nestled perfectly between a bunch of office buildings. We went for dinner. The decor was very interesting and they had the three stooges playing. Overall the food was okay. I did notice most things needed more salt though. The burger was pretty good. Everything was quite affordable. The service was amazing. We might be back but most likely just for lunch. Overall, I'm glad that we tried it.

    Grilled Chicken sandwich with onion rings
    Melanie G.

    Southern Recipe is nestled in an unassuming strip mall in Irving. I've passed by it hundreds of times on my way to work, but never popped in. Recently my office moved very close to this location, so I decided to give them a try for lunch. Now my only regret is that I didn't go here sooner! I've been singing the praises of Southern Recipe to all of my coworkers, some of whom are already aware of how delicious their food is! Everyone there is quite friendly, you can tell they have a lot of regulars. They did lose a star because I had to wait a very long time for my check because the waitresses were chatting with other customers for long periods of time. It's great that y'all are friendly, but you have to balance that with service, especially for working folks that are there on their lunch break. The food was a full 5 stars! Best chicken sandwich in Irving, in my opinion. The grilled chicken was tender and juicy, the bacon was crisp, the bun had outstanding flavor and texture, and the onion rings were the crunchiest I've ever had (also reheated wonderfully in a toaster oven). The portion was beyond generous, I took half home with me for later. I also love that they bring you out warm chips and salsa, and the salsa is very authentic, not the slightly spiced ketchup you get some places, lol. Already coming back and bringing the fam for my MIL's bday!

    Cheeseburger combo

    My work friend took me there. He had the pork chop plate and OMG, huge chunk of pork and the sides were pretty big too! I had the cheeseburger, which was also huge and very flavorful...I didn't leave a crumb lol. The waiter was super sweet and with a great sense of humor. The owners are Latinos and make you feel right at home! I can tell they have their regulars.

    I had hesitations on this place. Didn't seem very southern at first. The menu has a lot of Mexican dishes so I tried a sandwich first. It was great. A BLT with their homemade potatoes. They were amazing! Please try them if you like potatoes, not the frozen stuff. My friends food was good as well they said. I stole a bite or the chicken fried steak and it was juicy. Please keep in mind I don't write reviews Fareal. I just felt they needed better pics and reviews. So hey! Try it.

    Cozy little place nestled in a small strip center not far from Northlake College at the corner of Walnut Hill Lane and Storey Road. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner this place is there for you. They open every morning at 7, except for Sunday when they open at 7:30. During the week you can grab a bite as late as 10, and on the weekends until 9. I come here for breakfast before work sometimes and pick up an order togo. The staff is super, the food is great, and it is a delicious way to start off my day.

    Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for $5 plus potatoes were $2. Yuuuuummmmmy

    So delicious. The service was prompt. One of the best egg sandwiches I have had in a while. Oh and the home made potatoes.... Yuummmyyy!!!!

    What kind of meat is the cfs?
    LaToya M.

    What kind of meat are they using for the chicken fried steak? It was disgusting and tough. I don't even know if it was beef. A frozen cfs is 4 stars compared to what they serve. See my pic. The blackeyed peas taste canned. Both brown and white gravy are packaged. Mashed potatoes I believe were real. The best thing were the collard greens. They tasted really fresh and weren't overly seasoned. I'd come back just for those.

For sides, I chose the mac and cheese, cornbread, tallow fries, and Brussels sprouts. This is the kind of meal you remember for a while. The Wagyu tomahawk ribeye was the star of the table. Tender, flavorful, and packed with that rich beefy taste you'd expect from a steak of that caliber. The garlic stuffed filet was incredibly tender and added another layer of flavor, while the New York strip had a great texture and a perfect mesquite grilled finish. The Gulf shrimp were cooked well and added a nice contrast to all the steak. Smoky, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were excellent across the board. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the cornbread was warm and comforting, the tallow fries were crispy and addictive, and the Brussels sprouts provided a nice balance to the feast. The restaurant itself has a true Texas atmosphere with a rustic upscale feel. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel special. This wasn't just dinner. It felt like a Texas steakhouse experience from start to finish. Definitely one of the most memorable meals I've had in the Dallas area.

Clearly a popular spot. We shared an appetizer, a steak, sides, and a dessert between us 3. - Fried Tomatoes (appetizer): not bad! Light, not greasy at all, and that savory sauce on top was yummy: - Wagyu Tomahawk: the star of the show. Loved the peppered crust which was full of flavor. Not a true "Japanese wagyu" texture, but still an excellent steak overall. - Sides (mashed potatoes, fries, broccolini, cornbread): All pretty good across the board. I liked the cornbread the most and wished there was more of it. Usually a side of cornbread is much more substantial and comes with honey butter. - Steak sauce: we ask for a side of this. Whatever they had was unique and great. Fruity and tangy, a great complement to the tomahawk. - Pecan Pie: look at the photo! A huge, tall slice. No notes. Loved the dense ice cream on top. Perfect way to end the meal. Overall: no critiques, just an all-around great dinner. Definitely recommend the tomahawk and pie.

My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Tupelo Honey is a stand-alone restaurant conveniently located near Hwy 114 and 161. There's plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a mixture of tables, booths, and bar seating. Speaking of the bar, it acts as a beautiful backdrop for the entire restaurant. 1 Star. Service - The service is always friendly. Our server is always smiling, and I can't help but feel welcome with southern charm. Tupelo Honey trains its staff well, and I really enjoy coming here and interacting with the staff. 1 Star. Food - I always begin with the Biscuits with a Cause. These light, flakey biscuits are served warm with a crispy exterior and soft, flakey inside. But honestly, the biscuits act as a delivery mechanism for the butter and blue berry jam. I always ask for an extra side of butter and jam because I use it all. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Honey Dusted Fried Chicken (dark). The chicken was perfectly fried, crispy, and sweet. And the dark meat was juicy. Pro Tips - use your hands. Another great dish was experienced. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I have yet to have a below average dish at Tupelo Honey. Yes, it's a chain. But it's also a darn good chain that keeps its menu fresh and is worth multiple visits. 1 Star.

Located in Irving-Las Colinas's Toyota Music Factory, it's a perfect place to grab coffee and a bite to eat. This location has quickly become one of my favorite spots at TMF.

Assorted pastries and grab & go bites sit behind the glass counter leading to where you place your order. There are tons of assorted seating, from booths to even an alcohol\coffee bar. And when you come for lunch, the aroma from their wood fired grill fills the air. 1 Star. Service - The staff is great. You place your order, get a number, and the food is delivered to you. On my visit, the one lone staffer was taking a long To Go order over the phone. The manager noticed and quickly came to take our order. This is great awareness and service! 1 Star. Food - I love coming here for lunch because of the grill. On this visit, I went with the beef kabobs and brussels sprouts with sweet chili sauce. First, the kabob was some of the most tender beef I've ever had. Is was soft, perfectly grilled, and paired well with the grilled bell peppers and onions. Never underestimate the depth of flavor from a wood fired grill. But the star of my dish was the brussels sprouts with sweet chili sauce. The tender brussels sprouts were great, but oh my that sweet chili sauce was incredible. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. While Kitchen 101 has a huge menu, the items I've ordered have been a hit. I'll be back for those brussels sprouts and weekend brunch. 1 Star.

Service - The service is great. Our server was attentive, helpful, and best of all shared the special of the day. I always ask my server because when they recommend an excellent dish, it means the restaurant puts in the effort to enable them. Mission accomplished. 1 Star. Food - I went with Pacific Table's special of the day: blackened redfish with creole sauce and a vegetable. WOW. This dish was a homerun. The fish was tender, well-seasoned, and the sauce added a creamy component that reminded me of the bayou. As a bonus, my sauteed spinach that I chose as my side was equally delicious. If I wasn't dining in public, I would have licked my plate. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Every time I eat at Pacific Table, I try something new and am pleasantly surprised.

    It was a treat for me to finally visit a Texas Roadhouse restaurant!…read more Yeah, da 808 is kinda behind da times, as we don't have Texas Roadhouse out here, but we got Outback Steakhouse in da 808. Lol! So Tuesday night Carrollton got hit with a storm. Heavy rain, lightening, & thunder. I asked my coworkers if they wanted to head out to dinner, but it appeared that da fella's weren't down wid' it. Luckily, my Big Island coworker was also in Texas the same time I was here, so I reached out to him to see if he was down........sure enough, he was. When in Texas, I guess ya gotta have Texas BBQ at least once.......and being that I have worked in Texas numerous times, I've had more than my share of BBQ Ribs & Brisket in the past. Upon deciding on where to go, we ended up at - Texas Roadhouse in Irving. The Tuesday night we came here, even through the bad weather, the restaurant was still packed! The wait for a table was minimum, and upon getting seated, service was instantanious. I think I was still recovering from the previous night from Japan House, so I didn't want to eat a whole bunch of food. Upon looking over the menu, I ended up with just a BBQ Chicken Sandwich w/Fries. As for my Big Island coworker, he went for da gusto and got a BBQ Ribs & Steak plate. What can I say about the grub? I really enjoyed my BBQ Chicken Sandwich! It was a bit messy with all that sauce, but that's what napkins are for! Lol! Very generous serving of food, and I managed to down all of my sandwich, but left most of my fries behind, as it was just too much food. As for my coworker, he destroyed his BBQ Ribs & Steak plate. I was so happy he enjoyed his meal, as two days before I took him to another restaurant where he ordered a similar combo, but left a lot of food behind (I think his meal wasn't too good at the other restaurant). One more thing about Texas Roadhouse...........have you ever tried the complimentary rolls? Oh my!!!! Da buggah is Winnah's!

In fact, some of these restaurants in Dallas need some customer service training for sure. We had a very simple check in and we were quoted a 15 min wait for three people. Not even 5 minutes later, we were texted to come back, the we waited another 5 minutes before we were seated. Our server was so nice and she was helpful in selecting our food and giving recommendations. She also was very attentive without being overbearing. Our food was cooked very well and even the salad was super tasty. My friend said it was the best salad he's ever had, lol. The steak was done well and onion blossom was good. I had a good experience dining here and would definitely come back. Splitting our checks was also very simple, our server had no problem with it and it was all done on a tablet after. Thank you Texas Roadhouse for a great dinner!
