Bar of Soap

3615 Parry Ave
Dallas, TX 75226

Dallas, TX 75230

Meridith H. writes: I used to love Baja Fresh for its Burrito Ultimo.  Then, one day I decided to look up the nutrition online.  Now, I cannot eat at Baja Fresh because everything is so bad for you.  I think there are two semi-healthy options at the entire restaurant.…

4200 S Cooper St Ste 200A
Arlington, TX 76015

David W. writes: In my opinion, the best BBQ would have to come from the mid west. When I was visiting Texas, the first thing I wanted to do was try the BBQ. So I went to Spring Creek which is pretty good for the price. It kind of reminded me of Armadillo willy's…

Rickster C. writes: In the realm of full disclosure, I have a slightly dark and twisted side.  A combo of Dr. Evil and Snidley Whiplash.  Some call this less desirable element of my personality as "conniving."  Others say I'm riddled with the undertones of a hidden…

Parks Mall

3811 S Cooper S
Arlington, TX 76004

Kolya R. writes: How does one rate a shopping mall?     They are all hermetically-sealed, sterile collections of chain stores and restaurants.   They depress the hell out of me.    However, as far as malls go, this one is sort of OK because they have a nice skating…

Kdfw Fox 4

Dallas, TX 75202

A. T. writes: If it bleeds it leads but at least there was That 70s Show and prior to that, Married With Children. Local tabloid journalism at its best.

Talkradio 570 Klif

3500 Maple Ave Ste 1600
Dallas, TX 75219

Chris S. writes: I was going to give this 2 stars because it's not owned by Clear Channel and I like to root for the little guy.  Then I remembered that most of the major shows on this station are syndicated right wing drivel that you could probably tune in to Fox to…

Saltgrass Steak House

102 E State Hwy 114
Grapevine, TX 76099

Wesley J. writes: Wish I could have given this place more stars.  But, the food and service was just "ok".  First, the waitress must have been new and not well trained.  She had no idea what types of wine or beer they had.  Second, she spilled wine all over the place…

Golden Corral

3502 W Camp Wisdom Rd
Dallas, TX 75237

Donna W. writes: This is a buffet place, so when mass quantities of food are cooked for an unpredictable number of people with unpredictably limitless appetites, quality will suffer, but not for everything. You can make out okay if you know how to pick your food.…

Kit W. writes: Color me surprised.  

First off, Steak and Shake's menu pictures made me think I was getting a huge gut busting burger, with 2 sides and a shake for $7.99.  

For that price, I got a fantastic Strawberry shake, thick with great ice cream and no funky…
