    Summer's here and it's showing up on Dallas menus. If you like seasonal specials, if you like dishes you can only get for a limited time, then this collection of Dallas dining tidbits, culled from press releases and other random sources, will be right up your alley.

    Here's what's happening in Dallas restaurant news:

    Chipotle Mexican Grill will open a location in Oak Cliff, according to a strange post from the Fort Worth Avenue and West Commerce Facebook page. The post says that the chain will open a location at the Lincoln Property Commercial development at Fort Worth Avenue and Colorado.

    Flying Fish, the fast-casual seafood eatery founded by restaurateurs Shannon Wynne and Larry Richardson, is now open at The Sound at Cypress Waters. The menu features catfish, shrimp, oysters, grilled fish, crab legs, burgers, chicken, and mudbugs. Offerings include grilled plates prepared traditional, snappy, or with garlic butter; boiled platters, fried seafood baskets, salads, oysters on the half shell, fish tacos, po' boys, jambalaya, grits, gumbo, hushpuppies, pickled green tomatoes, beer, wine, and margaritas. Inspired by East Texas seafood joints, Flying Fish has 11 outposts throughout North Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

    Golden Chick has a new location in Irving at 3511 Regent Blvd. This is their second location in Irving. The restaurant's parent company, Golden Tree Restaurants, recently named Jim Stevens as the new president of Golden Chick. Stevens takes over the 52-year-old brand after one year as a Golden Chick franchisee. Mark Parmerlee, the former president, will continue as chairman of the board and as president of Golden Tree Restaurants, including The Jalapeno Tree, Fireside Pies, Texadelphia, JC’s Burgers, Heff’s Burgers, Lola’s, and Happy Taco brands.

    SkinnyFats has a new menu of five dishes available exclusively in Dallas. Thai Knee Dancer is a quarter-pound, grass-fed beef patty with grilled pineapple, pickled red onions, and cabbage peanut slaw on a whole wheat bun. The shareable Brussel Crowe features Brussel sprouts, caramelized onions, golden raisins, capers, almonds, parsley, and balsamic glaze. Long Live Summer is a salad with mixed greens, apples, cranberry-mustard vinaigrette, pickled red onions, dried cranberries, almonds and feta cheese. The Pre Birds is a twist on deviled eggs, with Thai spices, cilantro, and smoked paprika. Caes’ the Day is a Caesar wrap with grilled chicken, pickled red onions, mixed greens, smashed avocado, and vegan Caesar dressing inside a spinach wrap.

    Jinya Ramen Bar is launching a new special for the summer, called Hiyashi Ramen. It's a cold, broth-less ramen that's a lighter alternative to the classic ramen, made with pork chashu, egg, cucumber, bean sprouts, spinach, pickled ginger, and ramen noodles, with either a sesame or sweet soy sauce. It's available June 1-August 31.

    Public School Restaurant + Bar has several new menu items for lunch and dinner including the southwest chicken bowl, crispy fish tacos, cast iron chicken, pig and pineapple pizza, and the hot mess sandwich with smoked turkey, white cheddar, caramelized onions, pickled jalapenos, and au jus in a hoagie roll. Ahi tuna poke bowl has mixed greens, quinoa, avocado, cucumber, and carrots in a sweet rice vinaigrette. The Impossible Burger comes with arugula, tomato jam, peppered mushroom, truffle aioli, and a parmesan crisp on a brioche bun. Available at both locations in Dallas and Addison.

    Del Frisco's Grille has a limited-time menu featuring three new burgers with fries paired with wine from the Bordeaux region. The Blanc is a turkey burger with pear mostarda, brie, roasted garlic aioli, and arugula on a toasted brioche bun served with Chateau Peyrat, Graves Blanc. The Château is a 6-ounce house-ground filet mignon burger with goat cheese, tomato jam, caramelized onions, roasted garlic aioli, and spring mix on a toasted brioche bun served with Chateau Tour Bayard, Montagne-Saint Émilion. The Légende is a 6-ounce house-ground filet mignon burger with mushroom, raclette, black garlic aioli, truffle vinaigrette, and arugula on a toasted Kaiser roll, served with Légende by Domaines Baron de Rothschild, Médoc. Available at all DFW Del Frisco’s Grilles for $25.

    Tacos 4 Life has a new menu of limited-edition menu items for summer. Sweet chili shrimp taco has fried shrimp drizzled with sweet chili sauce, topped with mango, avocado, pico de gallo, and lettuce on a soft flour tortilla. Fried green tomato taco has fried green tomatoes with bacon, Cajun ranch, pico de gallo, lettuce, and roasted corn on a soft flour tortilla. Watermelon strawberry punch consists of watermelon puree, strawberry puree, orange juice, lemon, sugar, and water. Available at all 16 Tacos 4 Life locations in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina through August 26.

    Sauce Pizza & Wine has launched two seasonal specials. The watermelon & arugula salad has watermelon, feta cheese, jicama batons, arugula, and spinach in white balsamic vinaigrette. The Summer Sampler special includes a salad, 12-inch pizza, and two glasses of wine for $22. Available June 1-August 31 at three Texas locations: 8185 Walnut Hill Ln. in Dallas, 7300 N. MacArthur Blvd. in Irving, and 1151 S. Preston Rd. in Prosper.

    Liberty Burger has an off-the-menu burger available through July 31. Show Me the Shoyu is a bison patty blended with sautéed cremini mushrooms, topped with shoyu glaze, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, butter lettuce, sautéed mushrooms, and basil garlic aioli. One dollar from each burger sold will benefit the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center. It's part of a national competition hosted by the James Beard House where you can ostensibly vote online, but their website seems to be messed up.

    Dog Haus, known for gourmet hot dogs, has a special chicken sandwich, the Karaage Kid, featuring Japanese karaage fried chicken, slaw, sweet island ginger sauce, spicy mayo, and wasabi furikake on a grilled King's Hawaiian bun. $1 of the price from every Karaage Kid will be donated to Dog Haus’ national charity partner No Kid Hungry. It's available through June.

    Café Valley, a bakery brand, has partnered with 7UP on a new line of bite-sized cakes called 7UP Cake Bites. The bites are light and tangy, with a moist cake and lemon-lime flavor.

    What Just Opened

    Crazy wave of Dallas restaurants and bars have all just opened

    The Dallas hospitality scene almost never sleeps and right now it's pulling an all-nighter, with a big slate of fresh openings, all of which have debuted within the past days, give or take.

    Everyone's hustling to get their doors open in time for the holidays, and these establishments have all made it happen: From a cosmopolitan new lounge in downtown Dallas to a modern Asian restaurant in Plano to a bountiful AYCE Chinese seafood spot in Richardson, there's something here to pique everyone's interest and appetite.

    1519 Main
    Spectacular lounge is now open in downtown Dallas at 1519 Main St., in a nearly century-old building across from the Joule Dallas hotel where it's serving up stellar drinks in a space that's both cosmopolitan and low-key. The bar is from Hospitality Alliance, the company led by restaurant wunderkind Kevin Lillis, who helped create the original AT&T Discovery District. It's a stunning space with many original features like the rose-and-cream marble floors from the 1920s and the brick walls with signage from prior businesses in the space that dating back decades. The menu has cocktails from Brian Van Flandern, who oversaw the program at Per Se, The Carlyle Hotel, The Plaza Hotel, and Palm Court restaurant, and also has a homage menu featuring recipes from some of the most impactful but now closed cocktail lounges in the country. They're open Thursday-Saturday from 5 pm-12 am.

    Centrale Italia
    New concept from veteran restaurateur Patrick Colombo (Cru Wine Bar, Princi Italia) opened in November at Preston Hollow Village at Walnut Hill Lane and US-75 with a menu of wood-fired dishes, Neapolitan style pizza, pastas, and gelato made in-house. They're debuting brunch on Sunday December 7 and lunch on Monday December 8, with a menu that includes spicy meatball sub, chicken parm on toasted ciabatta, and a parmesan garlic cheeseburger with Wagyu beef and arugula. Salads include Little Gem Caesar, chopped salad with salami, prosciutto, and soppressata, and an Italian Cobb salad with chicken, Romaine, radicchio, avocado, beets, prosciutto, eggs, and Campari tomato in a creamy gorgonzola.

    Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
    Restaurant in Richardson which just opened in the former Maxim's space is an all-you-can-eat sushi/seafood buffet featuring a daily rotating menu with 300-plus items from various Asian cuisines. There are oysters, crab legs, lobster, sushi bar, ramen bar, dumplings bar, skewers bar, noodles, stir-fries, and Chinese dishes both Cantonese and Sichuan, such as spicy boiled beef and kung pao chicken. Plus dim sum and desserts such as precision-cut layer cakes and a chocolate fondue station where you can dip strawberries and other fruit. (The lobster and crab are available at dinner and weekends only, not at lunch.) The price is $20 at lunch, $30 at dinner on weeknighs, and $35 all weekend long.

    Jashan
    Indian ambitious new Indian restaurant with a one-of-a-kind menu offering has opened at Plano's Legacy North with a chef team who are bringing flavors from cities and regions across India, from Dehli's fried potato tikkis to pepper chicken from the south. For those seeking something truly unique, Jahsan also offer a Dil Se menu — an omakase-style tasting, available in 7- or 13-course versions, featuring a procession of these flavors, letting guests discover the stories of these cities in one visit.

    La Stella Italian Steakhouse
    Stupendous Italian restaurant just opened at a storied North Dallas address at 14655 Dallas Pkwy. in the former Lawry's space, where it stands as a bigger, grander spinoff of its sibling La Stella Cucina, the Italian restaurant in Dallas' Design District. The menu is an expanded version of the original: combining Italian seafood and a chophouse, plus an accompanying music lounge for live entertainment.

    LuLu Modern Chinese
    Glamorous new Asian restaurant just opened in Plano at 3310 Dallas Pkwy. #121, with a goal is to bring an authentic and modern Chinese American dining experience. The menu features classics like Peking duck, xiao long bao (soup dumplings), and seafood executed with spices and recipes from various regions of China — from Shanghai to the Pan Asian continent. The 4,300-square-foot space features a subtle lounge theme — a place you can dine or grab tequila shots over a soundtrack of '90s hip-hop and pop, plus craft cocktails, and a serious collection of sake and wine — but not what you'd typically find at a Chinese restaurant.

    Mendocino Farms
    California chain known for creative sandwiches, salads, soups, and other healthy fare, has opened its newest DFW-area location — the sixth — at NorthPark Center, joining Addison, downtown Dallas, Plano, Preston Hollow, and Dallas' West Village. With its casual but upscale menu, featuring staples such as the Chicken & Hummus Crunch Wrap — as well as seasonal offerings like the November to Remember sandwich with turkey, mozzarella, mushroom & turkey sausage stuffing, spicy cranberry chutney, and Romaine on toasted cranberry walnut wheat bread — NorthPark seems like a perfect fit.

    Old Ferry Donut
    Doughnut shop chain from Korea entered the U.S. in 2023, with five locations in California. Now they've made their Texas debut in Carrollton at 2225 Old Denton Rd. #215, Their doughnuts are unique: They have a slightly chewier, more bready texture than the fluffy texture of a Krispy Kreme, and are a little less sweet than traditional American doughnuts. Many of their doughnuts have fillings, made from premium ingredients. The menu includes old-school flavors such as Boston Cream, Original Glaze, and Cinnamon Sugar — but also new-school flavors like White Chocolate Sesame, Earl Gray, and Matcha Cream.

    Roots Chicken Shak
    Fried chicken restaurant concept from celebrity chef Tiffany Derry, just opened a location at 3748 Belt Line Rd. #118, in a former Einstein's Bagels on the southeast corner of Marsh Lane. There are chicken wings, tenders, nuggets, and sandwiches on sweet potato buns. Derry opened the first Roots Chicken Shack at Plano's Legacy Food Hall in 2017, but the Addison location is owned by franchisees.

    Yearby’s Barbecue & Waterice
    Halal BBQ spot which originated in Pilot Point is in soft opening mode at a new second location in Plano at 3201 Alma Dr., just west of US-75, where they'll be open from 11 am–3 pm or sell out. There's likely to be a line, because BBQ places like to have a line, but the Yearby's in Pilot Point also earned a slot on Texas Monthly’s 50 Best list for 2025.
