Newly opened in North Dallas, 12 Burgers and Taco offers fresh hand made meals to order. The 12 Burger is a must have with everything on it. We also like the Devil’s Burger with Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and the Hawaiian Burger. The Angus Beef patties are never frozen and the fries are served fresh. Try the Kogi Taco, which is a spicy pork taco is served on your choice of a soft or crispy shell.

This is our favorite Deep Ellum spot for Good Eats. We like the fact that they have over 100 different bottled beers to choose from with more than 20 on tap. We also like their food. Try their “Superhot” wings while watching the game. The Spiedies is a must. It’s the Texas version of a Binghamton, New York classic. Marinated chunks of chicken or beef, grilled and served on an Italian roll. Plus, they have free parking during lunch hours.

This classic Stemmons Towers establishment has a giant patio that is great for knocking back a few cold ones while enjoying some live music and entertainment. Their French Quarter sandwich is one of their best offerings. Grab one for lunch or dinner! We also like their Cajun Burger which has a hint of hickory-smoked flavor and pepper jack cheese. There’s never a dull moment when enjoying their $3 Gator Cocktails.

Northwest Point Bar & Grill
2053 W. Northwest Highway • Dallas
(972) 869-2477 • www.nwpointsdallas.com
They opened their doors back in 1985 and haven’t looked back. As their name indicates, they do have a full bar with great drink prices. However, their full kitchen serves some great dishes. We love the Point Burger from Hell. The special blend of spices, 8oz. patty, cheese, with jalapenos and habeneros is really spicy! They also have different daily lunch specials.

The folks at Stratos have proudly been serving Dallas for nearly a decade. They just added their roof top patio and are pet friendly. We are partial to their gyros and calamari. We suggest you try the Grecian God Plate with your choice of two Souvlakis (Pork, Chicken, Vegetable, Steak or Shrimp Scampi). It is served with two Dolmathes, rice and vegetables.

Wai Wai Kitchen
4315 Lemmon Avenue • (214) 520-8868
3020 Mockingbird Lane • (214) 368-9494
www.waiwaikitchen.com
Wai Wai literally means “really quick” in Thai. In English that means that your meal will be served in 10 minutes or less. The ambiance is very upbeat and modern. Their Tulip Dumplings is a nice appetizer and the Drunken Noodles will fill you up. Their prized gem though is their Chicken Basil Stir Fry. They also serve Sushi very affordably.
West End Pub
1801 North Lamar Street • Dallas
(214) 748-5711 • www.westendpubdallas.net
The neighborhood pub without a neighborhood has been a Dallas tradition for 22 years. In addition to their patio (we think the best one in downtown) and great craft beer selections, the West End Pub’s kitchen serves up Good Eats til 1am. They have several different burgers, salads and sandwiches to choose from. We fully endorse the Pub Pie which consists of fresh vegetables, chunks of lean beef, special creamy brown gravy and topped with a golden brown puff pastry crust.
