I have tried to like Snow Pea,I really have, but it's just not very good. I have eaten in the restaurant on three different occasions. My husband calls it "the most boring restaurant in Dallas". I don't mind boring if the food is good!
Last night we ordered food from them to be delivered to us. I had the chicken lo mein. It was awful. I couldn't even eat it. (it's not often that I can't eat something) My husband had the sweet and sour chicken. The chicken itself wasn't terrible, but the sauce was. Like the other posters have said,it was bland and flavorless. We also ordered a couple of orders of fried rice, which they didn't send. Their egg rolls are ok.
I wish I could find a good Chinese place that delivers! We used to love Dragon Pearl, but they went out of business. :(

I love the Cliff Cafe in Oak Cliff. Their breakfast is wonderful. (so is their lunch) My in-laws liked it, and that is really saying something. =) The Cliff Cafe is part of the Belmont Hotel, which was originally designed by Charles Dilbeck. It sits up on a hill. The hotel has been remodeled and it's fabulous. The hotel also has a patio off the bar that has the most beautiful view of downtown Dallas. The Cliff Cafe is home-cookin', but with an updated, nice twist. Check out their website to see the menu. I highly recommend this place. (but as the other poster said, it's kind of loud at breakfast)

Martha- thanks for the review!
I had this pizza the other night at a friend's house- it was delicious! I've driven by Scalini's a million times, but had never tried it. I'll try the chicken next time I stop by. I thought the pizza was great. I liked it almost as much as Campisi's.

The best pizza in town. And yes, Jack Ruby ate here all the time. In fact, he ate dinner here the night before he shot JFK. Everyone loves Campisi's- it's kind of an institution, don't you think? Great pizza. Also try the toasted ravioli appetizer or the artichoke hearts (baked in garlic butter and bread crumbs). YUM!!! They also deliver.

This is one of my favorite places in town. Their Pepper Steak with congnac sauce is out of this world (and my husband's personal favorite). I also love the Beef Tournedos with bernaise sauce. They also have delicious large onion rings! And yummy creamed spinach, great blue cheese dressing.....I could go on. =) Wonderful service.

This place is a bit of an oddity.I think every parking place in this little strip center is reserved, so when you pull up to park, about 10 people stare at you through the window to make sure you are coming in to eat, and not just parking there and heading off to another place. It's usually not crowded. In fact, on my most recent visit there were only two couple in the entire place. They seated us at opposite ends of the restaurant. At one point, we looked at each other across the room and waved. =) I have to say, their Hot and Sour Soup was really good! (and I'm picky about soup) The Chicken Lo Mein was good, too. You get lots of food for the money. Very reasonable. And very friendly and attentive staff. Great service- although it would be hard not to get good service with so few people in the place. Overall, I recommend it. Good food, cheap prices, great service.

Best Italian Sub in town!! Jimmy's is such a great place! I call our order in, then go pick it up to save time. It's always busy at lunch time. =)

I tried Ozona with a friend of mine because we were interested in trying their chicken fried steak. It was really bad. I'm not that picky (except when it comes to CFS), but I could hardly eat my dinner. Waiter was surly and rude, as was most of the staff. With all the choices around town, this place should be last on your list.

This is one of my favorite Sunday breakfast spots. The Breakfast Special comes with 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, toast and a thick slice of tomato for under $5. They also have great pancakes! Very casual. Kid-friendly. Food comes out fast!

Food: 4/5 Vibe: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 4/5
I love this place. I'm pretty sure Mama was the one who started Norma's in Oak Cliff. Great home-cookin! Wonderful rolls, biscuits, chicken fried steak, etc....But save room for dessert. The homemade pies are sooo yummy!I love the chocolate meringue. They are always packed at lunch time, and can sometimes run out of pies. Make sure you go ahead and order your dessert when you place your order. Waitresses are characters. Very sweet.
