    Country Club Life

    Dallas' Henderson Avenue gets a honky-tonk fueled by beer and barbecue

    Teresa Gubbins

    A new venue serving barbecue and honky-tonk music is coming to Henderson Avenue in Dallas, from a team whose portfolio includes the McFadden's chain and the Mason Bar in Uptown, as well as nearby Henderson Tap House.

     

    Called Henderson Avenue Country Club, it will take over the space vacated by Nick Badovinus' Tried and True, and it will open the first week of January 2015.

     

    "There's not a lot of barbecue places in Uptown, so we're excited to bring that," says Erik Franke, manager at Henderson Tap House.

     

    Martin Corboy and Tim McEvilly are managing partners in McFadden's, which has branches in Chicago, New York, San Diego, Nashville, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Las Vegas — and on Belt Line Road in Addison, where they executed a remodel of the old Rock Bottom Brewery space.

     

    The name "country club" might initially sound misleading, but the emphasis is on country, as in country music. The role model is the classic honky-tonk of Nashville's Broadway Avenue, McEvilly says: sawdust on the floor but classy, with craft cocktails, live music and sports.

     

    Overseen by Tap House chef Ben Ramirez, the menu will have a barbecue focus, including the use of a custom-made smoker. Starters include armadillo egg rolls, with brisket, corn, black beans, onions and cheese; "hillbilly charcuterie" will have pickle chips, pickled jalapeños, fried green tomatoes, smoked Gouda, pimento cheese, smoked pork belly and brisket with Saltines.

     

    Catfish will come crusted in cornmeal or blackened Cajun-style. There also will be chicken-fried steak, pork chops, ribs with bacon-mashed potatoes, and smoked quail with habañero cheddar grits. Desserts include house-made pies.

     

    Drinks by mixologists Kyle McClard and Stephan Hernandez include a spicy ginger margarita, plus bourbon and whiskey, some served straight from wooden casks. Six beers on tap will rotate with special editions; other brews come in 30 canned beer options from local and national breweries.

     

    The entertainment will be as important as the food and drink, McEvilly says.

     

    "We'll have live music, both local and touring acts, including an acoustic showcase every Tuesday hosted by CMT's Troubadour, TX star Guthrie Kennard," he says.

     

    On Sundays, Blackbox Concerts will organize a "story series" with writers, storytellers and musicians paying homage to classic country artists.

     

    If all goes as planned, the venue will host a weekend of opening parties from January 8-10. "We don't have the details yet, but we'll share that on our Facebook page," McEvilly says.

    Henderson Avenue Country Club takes over the old Tried and True space.

    A pizza chain from California famous for enormous pizzas is now open in McKinney: Mountain Mike’s Pizza is officially slinging the pies in a new shopping center at 4590 W. University Dr., where it opened July 14.

    Mountain Mike’s, is a family-style pizza chain known for its crispy, curly cupped pepperoni as well as its 20-inch pizzas. This is their 11th location in Texas and ninth in DFW; the first Texas location debuted in Lewisville in 2022.

    Their menu includes classics like all-meat, vegetarian, and loaded, with meat and veggie. Other pizzas include:

    • BBQ at the Ranch: chicken, bacon, tomato, and onion on BBQ sauce with ranch dressing
    • Snowy Alps: pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, Italian sausage, green onions and diced tomatoes on creamy garlic sauce
    • Pineapple Chicken Luau: chicken, bacon, and pineapple on BBQ sauce

    Prices range from $7 for a 6-inch mini to a 14-inch large for $23 to the 20 incher which start at $37.

    They also offer boneless and bone-in wings, plus salads, mozzarella sticks, crinkle-cut wedge potato fries, desserts, beer, and wine.

    The McKinney location spans 3,000 square feet, with seven big-screen TVs, a giant video wall, kids’ arcade, and a large patio with yard games like outdoor corn hole.

    Bringing the restaurant to McKinney are franchisees Hector Haget and Khris Tate, who own other concepts north of Dallas such as Cilantro Taco Grill. According to a release, they also plan to open an additional Mountain Mike’s Pizza in Prosper next year.

    “Mountain Mike’s stands out in the crowded pizza category by combining premium ingredients, generous portions and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, and we see tremendous opportunity to build on the brand’s strong momentum and create new gathering places where the community can come together over a high-quality, memorable dining experience,” Haget says in a statement.

    Mountain Mike’s was founded in 1978 in Palo Alto, California. It now has 300 restaurants across California, Texas, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Idaho.
