Bennigan's

13350 Dallas Pkwy
Dallas, TX 75240

Stevey P. writes: This place sounded fun (never heard of it before) and it seemed laid-back at first until I realized we were in for a loud Applebee's/Chili's/TGI Friday's type ride.   Average chain-style fare with an Irish pub motif in the mall basement.  I ordered a…

deno f. writes: We had a weird conundrum the other day.  My 5th grader needed an armada that fit in a shoe box.  How many times does that happen?!  Do you know how hard it is to find toy boats small enough to do that?  And the ones you find are die cast metal...not…

Party City

524 W Interstate 20
Grand Prairie, TX 75052

Katya J. writes: Lots of crazy stuff, though doesn't necessarily have a lot of things I might want at a party... for instance, there are no disco balls.

At any rate, a lot of fun stuff, if not the trashiest, most disorganized sales floor I've seen in a long time…

Dress Barn

2910 E Southlake Blvd
Southlake, TX 76092

Brooke B. writes: I really love a lot of Dress Barn's clothes but unfortunately, they run SMALL.  I usually wear a t-shirt size, 2X or (22-24 at Lane Bryant)...  but Dress Barn only goes up to a 3X and they're all too tight.  They fit more like a 18-20.

Dulce Interior Consignment

2914 Oak Lawn Ave
Dallas, TX 75219

Laura R. writes: Dulce is not your typical furniture consignment store. This is the store where Highland Park women dump their "old" Cantoni dining room tables and Art Deco-era buffets when they're sick of them.

Having said that, the store is (predictably) expensive…

Richardson, TX 75080

Frank Y. writes: With all that space formerly occupied by Eckerd's, there is a lot of potential.  Kudos for competing against the campus bookstore.  But what is there to buy here?  How about some stuff not related to the university, like used books?

deno f. writes: Upscale resale!  You will find nicer items here at a steal.  That means the $500 dress will be $150.  You will find your $50 shirt for $20.  One year we came across a purple Mohair coat from Neiman's for $700, originally about $3000.  

I shop here…

Penguin

1030 Northpark Center
Northpark Center Mall, Ste 2244
Dallas, TX 75225

Eric W. writes: Something about the Penguin line is very "classic American" to me which means absolutely nothing really. I guess though they want to also be on the cutting edge without being daring . . . so that's not really the cutting edge as much as it is the…

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…

Target Stores

554 W Interstate 20
Grand Prairie, TX 75052

Katya J. writes: I have never felt so compelled to review a store with a million other locations. This was the strangest Target ever. Completely in disarray, and lacking in selection, too. Not the sort of thing that usually characterizes Target, in my opinion. One of…

Ste 100
Carrollton, TX 75006

Rosa L. writes: What's up with all those flying kids? They pass by gliding 2 cm. above the ground, floating like hunted spirits in a B horror movie. Speaking of horror; I thought it was just an American thing, but they are all over the world... It's a pandemic…

Panda Express

3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy
Grapevine, TX 76051

Eric S. writes: I really think the only thing pulling me back to this place is the Orange Chicken and fried rice. Although to some of you this may seem like it would get old after a while, but to me they might as well sprinkle nicotine in their food. (IT'S GOOD.)…

Books-A-Million

3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy
Grapevine, TX 76051

Katya J. writes: Good selection, but there's an awful lot of crap, too. I guess the prices are alright: I picked up Children of Hurin in hardback here for like $20 due to a 40% off sale. The downside is that it's in the middle of Grapevine Mills Mall, which means…

Movie Trading Company

5907 Belt Line Rd
Dallas, TX 75254

Sonny D. writes: Never thought this location has a great selection of dvd since Blockbuster bought the stores. The only treasure you might find is when you search the dvds with no cover art, usually a 5 for $15 deal. I only go because my comic book friends like to…

Sarah L. writes: Fond memories, sort of.

I attended driving school at the Sears about 10 years ago with my best friend.  A couple years after that, I worked at the Gap for a while, and then I sort of never went back.  It's a bit...eh, downscale now.  And it smells…

Kolya R. writes: I'm amazed this store has remained open.    The turnover of employees is so high, I never know if I'm going to experience  a friendly, indifferent, or downright rude person.    Not long ago I asked where I could find "Something About Mary" and was…

CVS Pharmacy

13033 Coit Rd
Dallas, TX 75240

Tony M. writes: The first "sign" of trouble, if you will pardon this pun, is that all of their exterior signage was burnt out in some way.  A letter here, a flood light there and such an incomplete electronic message display, it was a puzzle to figure out what their…
