    Where To Eat Now

    Where to eat in Dallas right now: 10 in-demand new restaurants

    Teresa Gubbins
    Jan 11, 2016 | 4:05 pm

    January usually is a quiet month for restaurant openings. But Dallas-Fort worth is booming these days, and we're having a banner month on the food front. If your idea of good times is to scramble to get into the places that everyone else is going, then this is your list.

    Here are 10 opportunities for you to finagle a reservation or possibly even wait in line:

    BB Bop Seoul Kitchen R&D
    Korean fusion restaurant specializing in the dish called bibimbap is the third branch from Steve Shin, Sandra Bussey, and chef Greg Bussey, but with a twist for Oak Cliff: Specific to this location in a former auto repair shop is the "R&D" in the name, which gives a hint to its experimental approach. That includes features such as a to-go window for fried chicken.

    18th & Vine
    This is no ordinary barbecue spot. For starters, it has Uptown decor, with nice booths and table service. Second, its stated focus is Kansas City-style barbecue, which mostly means that they do burnt ends. Third, its menu also includes creations from former Bijoux chef Scott Gottlich. Aside from the perennial appeal of barbecue, they do an excellent rendition of fried okra with whole battered pods.

    Filament
    Chef Matt McCallister's second restaurant is designed for the "everyday crowd," i.e., more casual than FT33. The machinist shop theme with exposed brick walls and wooden ceiling beams makes handy use of a vintage Deep Ellum building. Chef Cody Sharp is overseeing a menu of onion dip with warm potato chips, trout fritters, and pork chop with braised collards. There's also a "secret" burger available at the bar that's not really that secret. Sshhh!

    Howdy Homemade
    Half sandwich shop, half ice cream shop located in the former Maudee's Cafe on Lovers Lane, Howdy is the do-good project of restaurateur Tom Landis that employs individuals with special needs. It has a short menu of sandwiches, including a BLT, chicken panino, and roasted veggie, plus 12 flavors of ice cream, such as mint chocolate chip, coffee, cookies and cream, and the signature Dr Pepper chocolate chip.

    Jed's Grill
    Oak Cliff restaurant from Jonathan Kovens and his mother, Esther Gallegos, took over the short-lived Fish restaurant (a space that was previously home to Mexican restaurants such as Los Herrera Cafe). They're serving classic American dishes with a twist, such as meatballs, Tater tots with Shiner cheese sauce, and a battered chicken sandwich. They're hip to the popularity of brunch, with Bloody Marys and mimosas priced super-cheap.

    Lakewood Smokehouse
    After months in the works, new barbecue restaurant is finally open in the spot in the center of Lakewood that was previously Ali Baba Mediterranean Grill. A project from Jason Hall, who owns 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap House in Frisco, it serves your prototypical barbecue fare, including brisket, smoked turkey, ribs, and sausage, as well as classic BBQ sides such as macaroni and cheese, fried okra, green beans, and potato salad.

    Montlake Cut
    Seafood restaurant from chef Nick Badovinus picks up the former Spoon spot in Preston Center, with oysters, mussels, chowder, Dungeness crab, and a burger. You can't not have a burger. Atmosphere is casual-chic, with an emphasis on chic, not cheap; the steak frites are $39. Seafood theme pervades the decor as well, with pole-mounted seats at the bar reminiscent of a bass boat, and Seattle-themed graphics on the wall.

    Paul Martin's American Grill
    New grill concept from owners of P.F. Chang's has food that's good in a predictable, nonthreatening sort of way. If you simply cannot get enough mac and cheese, short ribs, or spinach dip, you'll want to add this place to your list. Selection of wines by the glass is broad, but the big draw here is the chance to rub elbows with Park Cities' finest.

    Tacodeli
    Things always taste better when they're from Austin, don't you agree? Dallas does agree, and the latest import is this popular taco spot, which made its local debut at Sylvan Thirty. It has more than three dozen taco options, with beef, chicken, fish, and more. The hugely essential breakfast-taco category includes one called the Freaking Vegan, with black beans and avocado.

    Wayward Sons
    One of the hottest openings right now is this new eatery from Brandon Hays and Phil Schanbaum (So & So’s, High Fives, Standard Pour, Whippersnapper), with partnering chef Graham Dodds. The menu includes Windy Meadows chicken and dumplings with parsnips and carrots, skate wing with fingerling potato salad, beef Bolognese lasagna, smoked lamb brisket, mushroom tamales, and parsley root gnocchi with mushrooms and artichokes.

    Award-winning Dallas bakery scores storefront in Oak Cliff mixed use

    One of Dallas' best bakeries is graduating to a new location: Kuluntu Bakery, which currently operates as a cottage bakery in Oak Cliff, is moving into the East Dock, the innovative new mixed-use hub at 900 E. Clarendon Dr. near the Dallas Zoo and Halperin Park.

    Founded in 2018, Kuluntu is the cottage food bakery that has been selling breads and pastries from an Oak Cliff home. Despite not having a brick-and-mortar location, the bakery has racked up numerous awards including an impressive ranking on a Food & Wine list of the Best Breads in Every State, a 2023 nomination for a James Beard Award, and a CultureMap Tastemaker Awards nomination for co-founder Stephanie Leichtle-Chalklen for Best Pastry Chef.

    And now they will have a brick-and-mortar location.

    Their current menu changes weekly, with breads such as country sour and lemon-lavender-walnut sour; their signature granola; cinnamon rolls; and pastries such as almond & lemon croissant, cheesy artichoke galette, and salted rye chocolate chip cookies. They send out an email to subscribers every week listing the latest offerings. (To get on the list, email kuluntu@kuluntubakery.org.)

    "At the new location, we will be expanding the menu quite a bit," Leichtle-Chalken says. "It will include items that we’re currently baking plus South African dishes for lunch service."

    They're hoping to be open by the end of the year, and once they do open, they'll close down the cottage operation.

    But Leichtle-Chalklen says this new location will be more than a bakery — it will be a community hub that centers women’s experiences and builds collective power through education, health & wellness, and equity initiatives.

    She already operates Kuluntu as a non-profit, with a goal of co-creating a more equitable food system and community by connecting the food industry, consumers, and partners to center women and humanize all food workers.

    Sustainability and taking care of the planet is a practice that threads throughout their organization: whether that's using Barton Springs Mill organic flours and Cedar Ridge Egg Farm free-range eggs, or whether it's following zero-waste baking by recycling, composting, and using environmentally friendly packaging.

    They'll fit right in at East Dock, a former industrial building that was built in 1915 and is being thoughtfully refurbished with a goal of creating an 18-hour campus: coffee in the morning, daytime operators such as offices, studios, and restaurants, then bars and entertainment at night.

    On July 12, Kuluntu will host "Reimagining an Inclusive Restaurant in Dallas," where attendees can learn about the lived experiences of women food workers and how we can humanize the food system, as well as re-imagine what an equitable and inclusive restaurant could be — sharing your experiences, ideas, and perspectives to shape Kuluntu Bakery into a true community space for all. Pastries and beverages will be included.

    The session will take place at East Dock, allowing a preview of the site which will be under active construction. Get tickets here.
