Food & Drink

With more than 50 burgers and beers to choose from (each) plus adult milkshakes and giant tator tots, calling in sick the next day might actually be needed.

Made with cane sugar, wheat flour and chocolate sourced from Belgium and Switzerland, Ben’s Cookies is now open in Snider Plaza. Naturally, we had to try them.

A couple of updates on openings and closings in North Texas. Lucky’s Hot Chicken on Lemmon closes and Mister O1 Pizza marches on.

The London Baker recently expanded to a new spot in Lewisville with proper English scones, teas and coffees. But you must actually go for the country sausage pasty pillow.

We love finding hidden gems on menus. Case in point, the smoky and tender hickory grilled pork ribs at Las Palmas Tex-Mex. Start with a bowl of queso, of course.

Burger Max is the newest entry into the never-ending (thank God) hamburger scene in North Texas. They offer up tasty burgers at low prices.

This Atlanta-based chain has big vegan party vibes plus promiscuously-named burgers loaded with vegan patties, bacon, cheese, Slut Sauce and so much more.

The New York-based soft serve joint, Surreal Creamery, creates Mason jars overflowing with ice cream, including taro, matcha, Vietnamese coffee and others. Bring a bib and all your Bounty.

Every dream of an all-brisket smash burger topped with candied bacon and avocado? Smoke & Bone BBQ has a new burger that you should track down.

Bobbie’s Airway Grill recently opened in Dallas, promising an “upscale American grill with mid-century nods.” We tried the burger, oak-grilled Pacific halibut along with some cocktails.

Bright lights, wooden tones and unlimited whiffs of freshly brewed coffee are just some of what gives De Ra Coffee its inviting glow. Pronounced “Dee-Rah,” the shop’s name is a witty nod to the word for “hometown” used in Saudi Arabia, where owner Bassam Khalaf grew up. The decor, beverage…

Andy’s in Denton is still hosting shows, although many employees quit and others were reportedly laid off after asking for as much as $13 base wage.

With a large outdoor biergarten, tasty happy hour specials and award-winning beers, White Rock Brewing is a great addition to West Dallas.

Colette will open later this summer in the West Village offering drinks and a light menu in a European-inspired lounge.
