Scardello
3511 Oak Lawn
Dallas, TX 75219
(214) 219-1300
Yelp: 4.5 Stars, 212 reviews Scardello Artisan Cheese is an experience like none other. The local favorite--obviously--is the cheese board that pairs artisan cheeses with olives, fresh baguettes, nuts, dried fruit, honey, and (of course) WINE. But try any one of their sandwiches and your heart will be sure to skip a beat.

4901 Bryan St
Dallas, TX 75206
(214) 823-6180

Deep Ellum
Dallas, TX 75226
(214) 997-3306
Yelp: 5 Stars, 74 reviews Do you ever crave a delicious homemade meal in the comfort of a homey environment without having to do all of the hard work? That’s what you’ll get at Frank. This underground restaurant is basically run out of someone’s home, but the food is 5 Star worthy. There’s a long waiting list (seeing as it’s basically a one-table establishment!) but the wait is totally worth it.
Latin Deli
5844 Abrams Rd
Dallas, TX 75214
(214) 363-5551
Yelp: 4.5 Stars, 218 reviews Latin Deli is, by far, one of the best local eats in Dallas. Everyone’s favorite is the chicken sandwich made with marinated chicken, avocado, tomato, mustard, jalapenos, provolone, onions, lettuce, and latin mayo (which is the tastiest, spiciest, most delicious mayo you’ll ever taste).
Uncle Uber’s
2713 Commerce St
Dallas, TX 75226
(214) 653-8237
Yelp: 4.5 Stars, 520 reviews Uncle Uber’s is classic American cooking at its best and the burgers are Dallas beef at its finest. Plus, the shaved ribeye sandwich is also out of this world. And don’t forget to ask for habanero dipping sauce for your fries!

Dallas, TX 75206

(214) 871-7444
Yelp: 4 Stars, 512 Reviews If you’re looking for the best steak in Dallas, look no further. It’s definitely Nick and Sam’s Steakhouse. Couple your sirloin with sides like lobster mac and cheese, creamy spinach, or hashbrowns. And even though this place is classy, don’t be afraid to order the cheesesteak. It’s the fanciest, most tasty cheesesteak you’ll ever have in your life.
Serj Books
400 N St Paul St
Dallas, TX 75201
(469) 759-3585
