yep, this is on of my favorite bars in Dallas. I've had many great nights at this place over the years. Great pizza. Great jukebox (but they took out the Fu Manchu) but still have the Outkast.

The best lunch cafe in the DFW! I like the Addison location off of Midway.

The Salad Trio - with chicken, Cesar and seafood salad, is my favorite but if they have potato soup that day...that is what I am ordering. Try the the grilled chicken sandwich, roast beef sandwich, all the other salads too. Oh but do not forget the carrot zucchini muffin. Delicious.

This is the place I like to meet people for lunch you can never go wrong from mom-in-law to meat eating police officers from Louisiana.

Yum! You can't help but crave the garlic rolls they have here. I would have friends from Austin come up and we had to stop by here just to get garlic rolls. But my favorite is the Tortellini. OMG! This is the tortellini that no other place can even compare to Sicilianos Tortellini. Before your entree you are also served Minestrone soup and a salad (get it with green olives and ranch). The staff is always great and nice. Mario, the guy that brings you the rolls...is the best! Love this place!

I'm a donut fan. In fact I really don't like donuts but when I'm entertaining or if Jimmy gets a donut craving this is the place to go. I grew up by the Donut Depot and my mom loved sweets so this is how I got to know the greatness of this place. I do however like the cake like donut with out the glaze. They even give you free donut holes with your purchase.

Mangos! Mangos! I love Mangos!

Man, when I think of how much I love/hate Dallas, Mango's makes me feel that everything is going to be ok.

This place doesn't have the douchey atmosphere like some places in Dallas. It's just a nice place to go have a meal with a friend(s), great food, a pleasant atmosphere and a decent sound level where you can actually have a conversation with more than 3 people at your table.

My favorite is to start off with the Corn Patties and the Chicken Pad Thai as an entree (spicy). It's big enough to share even! That is if you the folks your with like to share.

Oh and try the really strong Martini's! There is a fun Martini menu to check out.

oh snap!
You might find me here on Sundays either at the buffett or picking up take-out for me and the roommates.

The Chicken Tikka Masala w/Garlic Naan is my favorite. I have to say it is THE best Indian I've had in the Dallas area.

I think I am very lucky to live close to and enjoy it. (tear drop)

My favorite BBQ spot! Although Rudy's recently popped up in the area - in Frisco - this is the best in Dallas with out the long tollway drive.
