$22 Kale Salad with Shrimp
Alyssa L.

Great spot in Terminal D for healthy, higher-end fare in a casual atmosphere. From what I remember about the menu, ingredients are properly sourced with care, and the beef is grass-fed. I opted for the kale veggie sunflower seed salad with shallot vinaigrette. The salad was packed with fresh veggies like heirloom carrots and topped with some healthy-looking croutons (which I didn't eat). I added shrimp for $7 bringing the total cost of the salad to $22. A bit pricey considering the smaller portion size, but I'm choosing to believe it's because high quality ingredients are more expensive to source. My only real gripe is don't add ingredients like croutons into a dish without listing them on the menu--people have food sensitivities and need to know what's included in their order. Food aside, the atmosphere and service were great. The restaurant is spotless and my server (Alisha) was super friendly and attentive. Overall, this restaurant is a solid choice, and I'm sure I'll be back to try the crispy duck!

Fancy coffee serving for an airport place! And pretty good too

Came here because apparently they removed the Einstein's by D18 and was desperately seeking breakfast. Lo and behold, the restaurant by my gate has 4 stars on yelp! I had to check it out... Asked the waiter for recommendations, and my server, Tia, strongly recommended the Breakfast Enchiladas, saying it was her hands down favorite thing on the menu. First of all, I love it when your server can provide a strong and meaningful recommendation, even if you're in an airport! When I ordered it with a side of bacon, she looked delightfully surprised and gave a huge thumbs up. You definitely get the vibe that folks here are willing to engage with you and be kind; I know working in an airport is no walk in the park, but everyone I interacted with went above and beyond to really make you feel like you were in a normal restaurant and not a few feet down from your standard airport fare. For what it's worth, their water is tasty and refreshing, not a hint of chlorine here. My food was absolutely delicious and I would get it again. Only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 is that you have to wait an awful long time before you get service (especially to get more coffee, water, the check, etc)

It is extremely rare that I give such a high review to an airport restaurant, but I think Whitetail Bistro deserves it. I came in for dinner one night during an extended flight delay and found this service to be friendly and helpful. I ordered the duck -- YES, I realize I ordered duck at an airport restaurant, but my spirit said it might not be terrible so I went with it -- and was floored at its perfect preparation. The skin was crispy without being hard, the duck itself was cooked at just the right temperature, and the lemon-thyme jus brought it all together beautifully. I even thought the braised kale was a prefect accompaniment, stewed in such a way as to not be soggy and to be a perfect partner to the duck. Y'all, it was grand. This place is honesty an oasis in the middle of DFW. They also have a nice bar and wine selection. The bad part, though, is that whenever I go somewhere else in the terminal, I'm going to feel underwhelmed. Long live Whitetail Bistro!

Dryish. Served with ham and bacon. I really like the LT parts of a BLT and they were hard to find in there.

This is how it went down... Waiter handed over check for $12.95 BLT sandwich. I give him a $20. He then had the nerve to ask me if I'd be wanting change for that. I said yes. He then took his sweet time (over ten minutes) providing me with said change until finally I got up and walked over to him to ask for it. Abundantly clear that at least this staff member is abusing the fact that many airport customers are on a tight schedule. Sadly, my BLT was airport mediocre (a distinct category of blah). Handcut chips were good while hot but more like cardboard once they were at room temperature.

Decent food for an airport. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The service was friendly and the food came out quick. I do think they skimped on the cheese though. Kind of weird since it was a grilled cheese.

Beet Salad
Cindi R.

Great quality in food. Grass fed beef. I ordered a spring lettuce salad with beets minus the blue cheese dressing. Perfect portion before my flight.

What? 3 stars?! I mean it was fine. Came here after reading reviews from you fine people (still love ya Yelpers) and straying from my tried and true (and much cheaper) Banh Shop. Overpriced for what it is and food came out way too quickly to be completely freshly made. I do like the charging ports (yay!) and the area is a beautiful part of the airport! Service was also good without being overbearing. Duck was again, fine, but tbh nothing to write home about! The kale and onion and bacon at the bottom did not do anything to help the dish... it actually detracted from it. And overpowered the duck. Not for $22+tax and tip. Automatic 3 stars at least for getting to review duck at an airport!

The salmon was amazing. Totally recommended
Scott G.

I'd really give this place 3.5 stars if I could, but I opted to round up instead of down based on friendly servers and what I perceive as better quality relative to surrounding airport food here at DFW. Allow me to clarify regarding the servers: they were super friendly, but MY main server at least seemed to know very little about the menu. I expect 4-5 star establishments to have knowledgeable servers who can help a person choose appropriately from menu options, and I felt totally on my own here. My first course - or should I just say my salad, since my main course was brought out almost immediately following the salad presentation - was the chopped salad. I wish it had been slightly heavier on the dressing and the bacon, but I appreciated the variety of vegetables it contained. Lettuce, kale, maybe spinach, brussels, red cabbage at the least. I had the salmon entree for my main course, and I would give it a solid 5 stars. Perfectly cooked, super tender, with a tasty sauce. Complimented excellently by the cauliflower. I made the mistake of asking for a side of the potatoes that come with the steak - and these turned out to be super bland and unexciting - but that's my fault for ordering something that wasn't meant to be part of this meal. Maybe the bland potatoes are really good with the steak? Overall, I believe I would return here. Especially after walking around the airport quite a bit and coming away unimpressed by the competition. But I would put at least two or three places ahead of this one if it were at DEN!

Say what?! Crispy duck at the airport and it's good. The bartender/waitress Alsiha didn't amazing job recommending the duck and whipping up some cocktails. Great place if you have a little time to stop by for a bite to eat.

David Z.

Food is good, but the portion size for the Salmon is ABSURD!!!! Trust me, it looks bigger in the picture if that's possible. Avoid this place if you are hungry.

What they call an Old Fashion.

Was hopeful as I'd had a good meal and experience here previously. Deferred my initial drink order due to hesitation from barman; I appreciate the honesty. He suggested the Old Fashioned but I was severely disappointed with it. I understand it's an airport but if you're going to purport to be somewhat upscale and charge accordingly then a simple drink should be manageable.

Drip coffee is disgusting. Eggs and potatoes tasted like water. If you have to eat here the bacon and biscuits are the only decent options. I'd recommend Starbucks, it's cheaper!

Whitetail Bistro opened a couple weeks ago. In fact I had to add them as an establishment to Yelp. It's an American restaurant that touts "trans fat free" meals and "local grown produce when possible". I had the Flank Steak and it was really good and cooked to the requested temperature. It came with roasted potatoes and a side salad with shallot vinaigrette. Very light on the dressing; needed more. Service was ok. There was only 5 tables and service was a bit slow.

My wife and I found this place about five years ago and we wish we would have found it sooner…read more Every time we have family visit from out of town we take them here. Several years ago, I had my first muffuletta at a sandwich shop in Florida and I thought it was OK, but nothing special. I did not order one from Weinbergers the first several visits because of this and all the other choices we had. My wife and I finally decided to order one to split. The first bite that we took we just looked at each other wide eyed in amazement and said OMG. The reason I decided to write this review is because my wife just texted me and said she is craving a muffuletta. We will probably head there this weekend. We love this place!

Make sure you're prepared when you walk up to the counter-- I thought I was until the dude started rattling off "wet" or "dry" and the list of toppings. I threw up my hands and said "I'm an amateur, this is my first time here!" He slowed it down and walked me through ordering, lol. I went with the Italian beef, dry with the juice on the side. So yummy! I love that it came with a handful of crinkle chips as well. If I was local I'd eat here all the time! The inside is small with a handful of tables and a few extra outside. It was pretty packed on a Friday afternoon!

She led me back to the table with my friends and created some small talk on the way, so that was a nice change of pace, considering many people just point you on your way. We were seated near the back which seemed to be somewhat like an open kitchen feel, which I actually thought was pretty cool. Our waitress was very fast and helpful with picking out our foods based on our likes. Once the food came out, everyone seemed to really enjoy their meals, including myself. We started the table off with the biscuits and fried green tomatoes (demolished!). I kept it simple with the chicken and waffles (delicioius and crispy), which was a HUGE helping (yum!). Others at my table enjoyed the the shrimp and grits and WB chicken sandwich. No complaints heard from them! Overall, I really enjoyed the ambiance, the food, the service, and the experience I had for my first time there. Would come back again for dinner to see if there is a difference.

We showed up around 11 on a weekday and both leaned into breakfast. I ordered the #9, a proper sugar pearl Liège waffle with one egg and sausage, and at ten dollars it felt like a great deal. The waffle was a pretty good example of the true Belgian style (with those sugar pearls) - I have better, but not in a sleepy town diner. My husband went for the migas, which is a little too bold for my more delicate breakfast preferences, but he was very happy with his choice. Our waitress, Sol, was an absolute sweetheart and made the whole experience feel warm and easy. The owner was also there, juggling things while temporarily without a hostess. I briefly considered throwing my hat in the ring. I am already planning a return visit for what looks like a stellar burger and a club sandwich, but there are so many spots around here calling our name that it might take some discipline to make it back soon.
