Jimmy Neutron 1 Posted May 18, 2007 Brio - italian tuscany-style place that was great. Appetizers to dessert was awesome. Kirby's - supposedly one of the better steak houses in the area - was good, but not what I expected/hoped for. Sneaky Pete's - kind of a local version of Hooters - food was OK burger/sammich menu - scenery was better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twiley 18 Posted May 18, 2007 I went to a pretty good steakhouse when I was there.... Bob's Steak and Chop. I was severely drunk but it might have been one of the best steaks I've ever had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geeteebee 3 Posted May 18, 2007 Brio-is that the one in Southlake? We haven't been up there, glad to hear it was good. Kirby's-Not in my top 10 of steak houses in Dallas Sneaky Pete's-Right on Lake Lewisville, typical lakeside bar & grille. Haven't been there in years, but, as with most lakeside places, there are usually hotties galore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleeping King 0 Posted May 19, 2007 Upscale it is probably III Forks. Although my favorite is Bob's Steak and Chop House. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geeteebee 3 Posted May 21, 2007 I'll be heading down there in Nov. for a game so any other suggestions would be great... Al Biernat's, Nick & Sams, III Forks (that's 3 Forks), Papa's Bro's....all fine choices. Bob's is good too, I'm just not a fan of the carrot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good place to watch college games on sat. is also on the wish list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Champps is a good sportsbar up on 114 in Irving and should have most of the games on. In north Arlington you could try Humperdinks, Ker's Wing House or No Frills. All should carry the games.

A good place to watch college games on sat. is also on the wish list. Dallas is pretty spread out so good luck with that, I'm sure some if the locals could offer up a few places. We hung out in some area downtown but I'm drawing a blank on it. There were about 4 or 5 bars all in a row. Edit: It was Uptown and we spent quite a few hours at Thomas Avenue Beverage Company and Idle Rich Pub. Edited May 21, 2007 by twiley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Codwagon 0 Posted May 22, 2007 New place Glass Cactus on the shores of Lake Grapevine and really close to the airport. It's part of the Gaylord and trendy but I guess that could have worn off by November. Inside the Gaylord complex is Texan Station-scroll down. It is a sports bar with 50+ flat screens.

Clubfoothead 119 Posted May 23, 2007 thanks, what about places to hang out and grab a few(or more) beers. we'll be staying at the DFW Marriott, so not exactly in Dallas, but we'll be there for 5 days and making at least a couple trips into the actual city. A good place to watch college games on sat. is also on the wish list. I much prefer seeing a band even a crappy one if I'm going to bother to go out. I'm not much of the sports bar type, but shoot me a PM and let me know what kind of $hit you want to do and I might be able to give you an idea. Wonder if someone can find that thread we did a few years back. I'm lame now but I can probably point you in the right direction depending on what you are looking to do. If I were staying at DFW I'd probably go here while the Rangers are out of town: http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/tex/ballpark/...ican_grille.jsp just seems like it would be cool to there while the stadium was pretty much empty.

Azazello1313 40 Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) last summer we ate at this place downtown, and i really thought it was great. definitely the best mexican food i've had in texas....but i guess that's not really saying much, before that it was probably taco bueno Edited May 23, 2007 by Azazello1313 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
