Dixie House Restaurant
The D-House is a bi-weekly stop for the Mrs. and I. We love the recently added fried pickles on the menu especially when served with jalapeno ranch. The service is hit and miss. But, if you get the chance I would suggest you ask to be seated in Bill's section. After a couple of visits He knew exactly what we wanted to drink, and to start off with. If you are in a hurry this place is good for a quick in & out.

Deep Sushi
My experience tonight was nice for a change. The quality of the food is a little better then some places i.e. The shrimp tempura w/ veggies was smaller in portion. However, better selection of veggies. Deep Sushi has a your standard selection of rolls. The Philly, Asparagus, California, Avocado, etc.. Although they do mix things up with a wide arrange of unique rolls.
The service for a Thursday night was great. the waiter had in depth knowledge of sushi, and knew their product well. He even went as far as saying "if you see something you want that is not on the menu. Just give an idea, and the ingredients we will make it"
I highly suggest the Volcano w/ Scallops, and the Dragon Lady roll (if you like spicy mustard) and the New York rolls!The overall quality of the sushi is good. The quantity of the roll orders range from 8-10 pieces. The price ranges from $5.00 to the most expensive is $15.00
Deep Sushi is on the pricey side. however, we did have:
4 orders of rolls
1 order of shrimp & veggie tempura
1 order of volcano w/ scallops (yummy)
2 iced tea's
grand total: $62.66
although pricey - it was a nice relaxing dinner with good service.

Pizza Getti
I can't say enough about this place. There is definitely no shortage of toppings on the Pizza. If you like thin crust, this place is a must.

Lakewood's 1st & 10 Sports Bar
WOW, bailey's 1st & 10 has the largest Hamburger in town. The french fries are unlike any place else. Bailey's has daily dinner specials. I popped in one night when it was all you can eat fried catfish.. Man was it packed! The comfortable horseshoe shaped bar makes Bailey's a good place for watching sports.

San Francisco Rose
The San Francisco Rose is a good place to watch sports with several TV's for your sports viewing pleasure. Depending on what time you go the service can be slow. The Menu consist of your average sports bar with a few twists on it. The fried pickles w/ spicey ranch is a pretty good start. Not every sports bar has a hickory burger, and their's is pretty good! with daily lunch specials you are destined find something you will enjoy!

Sushi on McKinney
Sushi on Mckinney is a great place for sushi! the service is quick and reliable, with a friendly smile. Sushi On Mckinney has your standard Sushi menu. However, they also have a specialty menu hanging on the wall behind the sushi bar. Their Devil Rolls are HOT (spicey) it consist of yellow tail tuna, with wasabi mustard. Its eye watering, breath taking fun! Other great food on the menu I would suggest is the shrimp tempura, & Philly rolls (smoked salmon w/ cream cheese) If your not full already? Top it off with some Green Tea ice cream!
Sushi on Mckinney is a great place to eat on a low budget.

Chuy's
ok, this place is the tex-mex mecca with an Elvis twist! the service is good. although I have my favorite waiters I like to sit with. The management is very friendly and helpful. the Atmosphere is fun for all situations.
Now on to the menu! For starters the Queso is a must. Just a little hint add some fresca in with the queso for a slight kick!
however, they have daily specials that are pleasing to anyone's taste.
On the Menu they have what is called the Elvis fried chicken which is a chicken breast battered & fried in Lay's potato chips. if that doesn't sound good?
The burritos are HUGE. they range form bean, chicken,steak, also fajita style meat aswell. they have serveral different style of sauces to top them off.
some of the things I would suggest are:
1.Shirley Goo - which is spanish rice & fajita grilled chicken w/ Quseo drizzled on top. this served with corn/flour tortillas is a must try! kick it up a notch on weds. try this w/ boom boom sauce (I think its a green chile queso sauce?) kick it up some more with green chile rice!!!! I don't know who shirley is.. but I love her Goo!
The Steak Burrito - which is a HUGE burrito stuffed with fajita grilled steak & cheese w/ your choice of sauce on top served with rice & charo beans. I like to take this to the next level and ask for Queso inside & tex-mex on top for my sauce! (I think I just gave away my Identity) shhh.. guys I don't want anyone to know who I am on here ;) its our lil secret!
The Tex-Mex salad combo - which is a large dinner salad w/ your choice of a mini burrito, or chili rellano, and a couple of other options that have slipped my mind. I like to change this up a bit with a bowl of tortilla soup!
You can't go wrong here! they have plenty of other food to choose from!
(its suppose to be 1. 2. 3. instead of 1.1.2.) its a glitch oh well!

Sali's Pizza & Pasta
Sali's is a wonderful Italian place. The food is reasonably priced for the portions you get! The service is great even when they are packed. However, the seemed to have changed their wait staff sometime during the fall. So it has taking us a few times to find the right person. ( where did Ziggy, Chelsea, and Nicolas go? Is patrick still there?)
back to the food. The rigatoni w/ sausage is great! all entre's come with a salad. Their House dressing is very good! The Pizza is average, but you can watch the pie maker hand toss the dough!(don't worry it doesn't touch the ceiling)for desert the cannoli's puts the perfect topping on a nice dinner! great place for a date!

Melios Brothers Char Bar
The Melio Brothers have hit the right spot numerous of times. They are well known for the ribeye specials. The hamburgers and fries make a good to go order. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is like a little greek diner. The char bar will stand the test of time!

Mariano's
Mariano's is truely a Dallas institution.like wmdmomma said they are the home of the frozen margarita. their 1st frozen margarita machine is in the smithsonian, Enough said!
ok, here we go! Unfasten those belts, pop the button!
The food is excellent. For starters the table side quacamole is a great way to begin the tastey extravaganza! The spicey chicken Verde is a wonderful entre. The salsa's are very tastey, and very unique in flavor definately one of a kind. When you go make sure you get a punch card of "buy 10 get one free" I could rave on, and on about this place.
It is kid friendly with the pinata room for parties, and coin-op rides outside.

Piggie Pies Pizza & Pasta
This is the 2nd best Pizza place in town! I have been ordering there for over 10 years, Back when the owner use to delivery!
These Guys know how to Pile on the toppings. they have a wide variety of specialty pies. when you order a large its enough to feed 3-4 people. Their slices are larger then any other pizzeria in town. If you order the Xtra large pie (20 inch)plan on having leftovers for the weekend.
My favorite order is a Jalapeno, Pineapple, and canadian bacon. Remember that they pile on the toppings!
The only downside to this place is that during the work week lunch time. They may take 45-60 mins to deliver. but I promise you its worth it.

Benny's Bagels
This benny's location has great customer service! The food is good, and they have a variety things to eat. However, I am a sucker for Garlic Bagels, with jalapeno creme cheese! the only thing bad about this location is that parking is limited, But the wait isn't long.

El Fenix Mexican Restaurant
this El Fenix, is just like any other El Fenix. the food is your average Mexican food. The service is good especialy if you get seated in Francisco's section! (a Wayne Newton look a like)Honestly this guy is a great server.
The beef fajita nachos surprisingly are better then most. Plus their new line of salads are nice for change. El fenix is a place where you can go when you want Mexican food in a hurry.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit
ok, You may not want to read this review.
My wife & I use to go here about 2-3 times a month. It was the only BBQ place around these parts, and it was quick & easy. Plus this establishment just opened, So its brand new & clean!
The food is average at best. You can go to any location, and expect the same quality of meat, service, sides, etc... Dickey's in general will get you by in a pinch.
However, (the bad part) we have recently been there, and ate our usual. only this time I got sick REALLY sick. I will spare you the details. but if you have had food poisoning you know what I mean. Now I will say this, It may not have been Food poisoning. It may have been that the person serving the food was sick therefore passing it on to me.
It was soo bad that I called headquaters & told them what had happened because I didn't want this to happen to anyone else. I left my Info with the nice lady whom answered my call.. I got a call from the store owner/manager? He assured me that it could not have been what I ate. He continued to give me the standard reply, and asked for me to come in with my family and he would personally show me how they do things.. He even offered to buy our dinner. HELLO, what makes him think that I would want to go back there?
Patron beware you are playing Russion Ruelette
Sorry, Dickey's But I feel that I have to warn People.

Ali Baba Cafe (Closed)
Ali Baba's is the best Mediterranean place in town. The atmosphere is a nice oasis away from the bustle'n Greenville Ave. The service is so fast that I barely have time to set my empty tea glass down before they refill it.
The food is awesome! We usually start off with the Mazza plate which consist of hummus, dolmas, Babaganoush, Tabouli, and pita bread. If Garlic is your friend, the Golden Chicken is a must. I also love the falafel plate. 5 falafel balls, hummus Tahini sauce, and ptia bread.
The price is right for this establishment!

Snuffer's Restaurant and Bar
Snuffer's is knwon for their cheddar fries, loaded with all the toppings chives, bacon, jalapenos, with ranch on the side. I have been recently turned onto their fried pickles! The swiss american burger is one of my favorites. there is something for everyone here!
With years of practice, the service is quick. The To go orders are fast (8 minutes @ lunch time)
The outside patio serves as a great place to people watch as it looks out onto Lower Greenville Ave.

Poor Richard's Cafe
Poor Richard's is one of my favorite spots when I make it out of my Bubble. The food is good down home cooking! From biscuits & gravy to a large plate of pancakes.
The service reminds you of sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom to serve! The atmoshere of large round family style tables is a great way to have breakfast with your family & friends before starting your day!
What is the old saying? If its crowded it must be good? You won't be disapointed with this home style restaurant. If you have to wait in line, it won't be for long! Even if you only go once. You will never forget this place!

Peggy Sue BBQ
ok, I thought I was done for the night.. but Sweet Peggy Sue's. this is the BEST BBQ place in town.
Why? the Lean cuts of brisket, the spicey BBQ sauce. the portions of the food, and the quality of the food is unlike any other BBQ joint in Dallas! Just thinking about it @ 11:26pm makes me want to go there now.
The atmosphere is similar to other BBQ joints. But you won't notice cause there are pictures of pretty peggy on the walls! I must admit I have a crush on you peggy! well. its not you, its your BBQ HAH!
For all you BBQ lovers out there you haven't lived until you have been to Peggy Sue's! while your there try some of Her onion rings!
okay thats it for the night.. time to go dream of lean cuts of brisket swimming in delicious spicey sauce. see you tomorrow Peggy Sue!

Ojeda's Mexican Restaurant
Wow, can you say killer Margaritas? this place is another must go to. the food is excellent I have never been let down. Its a great place to meet a group of friends before a night out on the town! The place is soo good that Former President Bill Clinton stops by for dinner whenever he is in town.
I can go on for every on the menu. The Enchiladas, the Fajitas, nachos, you name it! Its that good!

Nick's Cafe (Closed)
ok, this might be the 2nd place I have nothing good to say. the food is like any other dive for a diner. the atmosphere is standard. But one of two things about this place sticks out in my mind. The booths have individual jukeboxes. the other is finding what looked like to be a phlegm floating in my water. I can say that the chicken fried steak & eggs is a good meal. but the phlegm in the water ruined it.
Sorry, Nick's I am sure you haven't changed. Patron beware, look in your water.. make sure your silverware is clean, or make a Dr's Apt. for a technis shot!

Kalachandji's Palace & Restaurant
ok, you don't have to be a Krishna Devotee to enjoy this nice hidden oasis. The service is great, and the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else. If you need a place to go and unwind. Maybe a place to ground yourself there are plenty of places to do so. the food is wonderful! whenever I go I am always satisfied, and leave with a smile! try to go on a Krishna holiday/event it is truely some thing to see!

Highland Park Pharmacy
Oh Man, if you like the old timey soda fountain pharmacy's this is the place. There is nothing like walking in & sitting at the bar. Sipping on milk shake, while day dreaming of what it was like back in the day when a nickle went further then today. if you are shopping up & down Knox St. Pop in for a nice cool refreshment, and dream for a while. Its the perfect getaway when the wife/girlfriend wants to max out credit cards!
Then again you might be crying in your rootbeer float instead of dreaming :o(

Goff's Hamburgers
Yet another Dallas institution! the Hambugers are excellent! If your lucky & time it right you might see one of the Owen brothers there.
I love being insulted by the owner! there is not many places like this.. Its definately a Unique place. A must try if you dare!

Culpepper Steak House
Culpepper's is one of Rockwall's originals. the atmosphere was unique when it first opened. i.e. the old rusted license plates, and pictures on the wall. The outdoor patio with a outside bar is nice touch in the spring summer & fall. The Chicken fried steak is great! However, don't have too many coctails unless you have a designated driver. Unfortunately Patrons leaving Culpepper's are like fish in a barrel for the local P.D. so be careful!

Campisi's Egyptian Lounge
Talk about history, who shot JFK? (oops I didn't say that) but yes Jack Ruby was known to dine there. Their Pizza is some of the best in town! the fettucini Alfredo, Joe's Garlic Toast. I don't know where to stop! There isn't anything bad I can say about the Campisi Family Establishments! I wish Joe was still around to tell stories. but then again I don't think I want to know.. LOL
Whenever somebody mentions Campisi's there always the thought of I could eat there.. even if you just ate! Its a Dallas landmark everyone should try!
