    Haystack Burgers broils up big burger expansion in Dallas and Frisco

    A growing burger restaurant chain has three new locations on the books set to open in the next year. Haystack Burgers & Barley, a locally-owned and family-run restaurant from Kevin and Jenny Galvan, is expanding with two new locations opening in Dallas, and another in Frisco.

    The locations are as follows:

    • Hillside Village at 6465 E. Mockingbird Ln., Dallas
    • Hillcrest Village at 6959 Arapaho Rd., Dallas
    • 6705 Main St. in Frisco

    According to a release, the Frisco location will open in July. Hillside Village is slated for a late 2019 opening. Hillcrest Village is forecast to open in early 2020.

    Kevin Galvan says in a statement that they chose these areas as they all have a great sense of community, stating, "We can't wait to be a part of these neighborhoods."

    Haystack is a fast-casual concept that serves burgers, salads, sandwiches, sides, and milkshakes. It also has a bar with craft beers, and a signature frozen cocktail with Maker’s Mark, orange juice, lemonade, and custom-blended iced tea.

    Menu items include the Haystack Burger with cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, bacon, and fried onions. There's also a chicken-fried burger with jalapeño-bacon cream gravy, a veggie burger, and an off-the-menu special that changes monthly.

    The original Haystack Burgers opened at Richardson Heights Shopping Center, near the Alamo Drafthouse, in 2013. A second location opened in Turtle Creek Village at 3838 Oak Lawn Ave. in 2016.

    Greg Pierce and Ryan May with CBRE in Dallas represented Haystack Burgers in site selection and lease negotiations for the Hillside and Hillcrest locations. The landlords for both locations were represented by Shop Companies in Dallas.

    Pierce, who is senior VP with CBRE, says in a statement that they're "extremely excited" about what the restaurants represent to their new locations.

    "Hillside Village in the Lakewood trade area is an underserved restaurant market and the location at Mockingbird and Abrams will most assuredly become a neighborhood favorite," he says. "Hillcrest Village in north Dallas is also going through a major transformation and combined with the dense population, excellent demographics and high traffic counts, Haystack and the new restaurants will hopefully succeed in a big way."

    Artsy eatery Allegory Kitchen makes for a night out in Grand Prairie

    An artsy restaurant and bar has debuted in Grand Prairie: Called Allegory Kitchen and Bar, it’s in a former event venue space at 2601 W. Jefferson St., where it opened in February.

    Founders Ronnie Harris and Anthony Griffin have pooled their extensive hospitality experience on this new venture. Harris spent the past 30 years in airport concessions at airports such as DFW Airport, while Griffin comes from hospitality in Alabama.

    "We kind of stumbled on doing the restaurant by default because we wanted to open a hookah lounge and serve liquor," Harris says. "We couldn't serve liquor and no food, so it transitioned to us becoming a restaurant."

    To that end, they retained Atlanta-based chef and restaurateur Carlos Brown who helped create the menu. Harris and Griffin are now leading the concept which continues to evolve.

    It started as a fine dining concept with brunch, but they’re adding more casual Southern and comfort food dishes. Menu items include Southern fried catfish, a half-pound burger, grilled pork chop, and roasted half chicken. There are also vegan options such as roasted butternut squash tabouli with caramelized onion vinaigrette, chili flakes, mint leaves, almonds, and arugula, served with wild mushrooms and herb quinoa.

    Small plates include three cheese lobster mac & cheese, Carolina pan-seared crab cakes, and collard green spring rolls filled with collard greens, onions and peppers, then deep-fried.

    Sides are on upscale: pork belly Brussels sprouts, garlic parmesan truffle fries, sauteed haricot vert (French green beans), and sweet potato apple hash.

    They have a full bar with domestic and imported beer, wine, and signature cocktails.

    “My number one specialty is the Sexy Allegory — it has a cognac base and mix of blueberries and blackberries,” Harris says. “We can satisfy any palate with our beers, and we have a wine wall with the best of the best, such as pinot grigio and cabernet."

    The atmosphere is lively and colorful with plush seating and floral wall murals. There’s booth and table seating with white marble tables and jewel-toned chairs and booths. The chandeliers over the bar are a visual treat, have white feathers arranged like a blooming flower.

    As if food and drink are not enough, they offer more reasons for a night out with events almost nightly, including poetry night, live jazz from a saxophonist, and more.
