    Restaurant News Roundup

    Doughnuts, pies, and cupcakes make this Dallas restaurant news indulgent

    This roundup of dining news around Dallas has a temporal feeling, with lots of seasonal specials, summer menus, and limited-edition items. Nothing lasts forever, and that's especially true in this roundup. There's pie, beer, burgers, and egads, an early sighting of pumpkin.

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

    Parlour Doughnuts has opened a location in McKinney, at 5100 Stacy Rd. #950. The location is from franchisees Josh and Miranda Houston, and represents the fourth in the DFW area, following Flower Mound, Lake Worth, and Southlake; there's also a location in Houston. Parlor was founded in Indiana as a coffee shop before they added cronut-style doughnuts, and subsequently began franchising across the U.S. They made their Texas debut in 2021. They do espresso drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes, plus hot chocolate, chai, and matcha, plus doughnuts with decadent toppings and fillings, in flavors such as maple pecan, bourbon caramel, turtle cheesecake, and raspberry pistachio. There's also a menu of breakfast items such as avocado toast, acai bowl, breakfast tacos, and breakfast sandwiches, plus milkshakes.

    Stackhouse Burgers on Gaston Avenue is closed until further notice due to a fire that caused significant damage. According to owner Dimitrios Ioannides, a car ran into the fence separating Stackhouse and the business next door and caught fire. The fire spread to Stackhouse. A GoFundMe has been launched with the ambitious amount of $50,000.

    The Burger Shop, a burger joint in Forney from Dallas College/El Centro grad Corey Ahrens, recently opened a second location in Richardson at 101 S Coit Rd. #1 at Belt Line Road.

    III Forks has launched a new menu with 10 new appetizers, steaks, and sides. The stars are two Japanese Wagyu steaks from the Miyazaki prefecture of Japan. The biggest change is the increase in appetizers, with five new appetizers and one soup. New entries include Ahi Tuna, Chilled Seafood Platter, Scallops with Bacon Jam, Chicken Fried Lobster, Beef Croustades, and Lobster Bisque. New sides include Sauteed Spinach and Six Cheese Potatoes. Six cheeses sounds like the latest permutation of the multi-cheese mac & cheese trend, which itself is so silly.

    Asador at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel has a new summer menu with dishes such as ceviche with redfish, red onions, watermelon radish; watermelon salad with, red onion, queso fresco, pepitas, fresno chili, cucumber, jicama; a new vegan Earth Bowl entree with sweet potato noodles, zucchini, bok choy, red onions, peppers, mushrooms, in coconut ginger sauce. New summer sips include a tiki drink with coconut rum, pineapple juice, & coconut milk, and the Japanese Blossom with Suntori whiskey and midori.

    Ocean Prime Dallas has a new lunch menu Monday-Friday from 11 am-3:45 pm with dishes that include a steak sandwich with shaved ribeye on a toasted hoagie roll with pickled tomatoes, arugula, provolone, and crispy onions; salmon BLT on griddled sourdough; market fish with crab fried rice; and a rotating sushi roll that changes weekly.

    Happiest Hour has a new Hoedown Brunch, Saturdays from 12-4 pm with a DJ spinning country hits, line dancing on the patio, and a Southern-inspired menu with chicken fried steak & eggs, pulled pork benedict, biscuits & gravy, brisket hash, and shareable cocktails for 8-10 people.

    Loro has launched two specials at both its Dallas and Addison locations: The Hot Honey Fried Chicken, available Tuesday-Wednesday through September, consists of fried chicken drizzled with Thai chili hot honey and a yuzu kosho potato salad, for $17.50. The Lunch Special is a three-course lunch with appetizer, main, and chocolate chip cookie, for $24 available through September 3 from 11 am-2 pm with choices from corn fritter, arugula & melon salad, cabbage salad, onion-cheddar burger, pulled pork sandwich, or rice bowls.

    Trova Wine + Market has four new summertime dishes: The Chauncey sandwich with fennel salami, Oro Italian cheese, olive + pimento tapenade, harissa aioli, champagne vinegar-dressed microgreens, on grilled panini bread; Fennel & Citrus salad; Smoked Salmon Spread served with everything bagel crostini; and Strawberry Key Lime Pie.

    Fish City Grill and Half Shells have two chalkboard specials available through August: Jalapeno Bacon Mahi Tacos, featuring Mahi Mahi, jalapeños, bacon, chipotle aioli, and Cuban black beans & rice for $15; and Miso Glazed Black Cod with bok choy, sugar snap peas, and white rice for $27.

    Birdcall, the chicken sandwich chain with a location at 3232 E. Hebron Pkwy. in Carrollton, has a new monthly sandwich: the Tikka Masala with chicken, provolone cheese, tikka sauce, Romaine, and tomato, available through September 5.

    Hopdoddy has revealed their August Burger of the Month: The Bodega Burger, inspired by a New York bodega, wrapped in deli-style paper and topped with chopped cheese patty, bread & butter pickles, spicy ketchup, lettuce, tomato, and doddy mayo.

    Pokeworks has a new bowl featuring lobster, with surimi, Mandarin oranges, veggies, and Ponzu sauce over white rice, $14 for regular, $17 for large, available through October 3 at its seven DFW-area locations in Addison, Arlington, Dallas, Richardson, and Southlake.

Get them in two new salads: Spicy Shrimp Salad and Baja Watermelon Salad featuring beets, cucumber, jicama, edamame, cilantro, and feta cheese.

    Tacodeli has a new Sweet & Spicy Taco available through August with pork, spicy serrano glaze, cilantro, and pickled onions; and a new Melon Agua Fresca made with fresh cantaloupe, solo or available to add as a swirl to a frozen margarita for $1.

The lineup includes Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Coffee, and a limited-time Apple Cider Donut, an old-fashioned doughnut glazed and coated with apple cider sauce. "We know our customers wait all year long for their favorite fall flavors, so we decided to break out the pumpkin a little bit early this year," says 7-Eleven senior VP Dennis Phelps.

    Dudley's Sports Grill to open on Dallas' hot-hot Henderson Avenue

    A new sports bar is joining the mix on Dallas' hot-hot Henderson Avenue: Called Dudley’s Sports Grill, it'll open at 2927 N. Henderson Ave., in the space previously occupied by Smithy, a gastropub that closed in June after seven years.

    According to a spokesperson, Dudley's will open at the end of the summer — "we're only making a few cosmetic changes," the spokesperson says.

    Dudley’s is the brainchild of three Dallas bar veterans — Gabriel Rhodes and Jordan Carson (Christie’s), and Patrick Gorman (Ill Minster Pub). The trio debuted the concept in 2024, when they opened the first location in Rockwall.

    The bar is named after Carson’s grandfather, Floyd Dudley Hitt, who owned land in Rockwall and Royse City. Carson and Rhodes graduated from Rockwall High School in 2006 before coming to Dallas for other restaurant ventures — including working at Christies while it was still in Uptown. (It closed in 2020, then Carson partnered with Ashton Christie to reopen it on Greenville Avenue.)

    Their menu — devised by Dallas chef Eric Freidline, winner of CultureMap's 2019 Tastemaker Awards for Rising Star Chef — is elevated with a barbecue twist, with dishes like queso made with aged white cheddar, thick-cut bacon with fig glaze, brisket flatbread, and brisket grilled cheese.

    Cocktails include the mule served in a boot-shaped glass, and an old fashioned garnished with cinnamon and cloves. Dudley’s also boasts a variety of beers on tap, as well as an assortment of margaritas, all of which are served in ice-cold schooners.

    Dudley’s prides itself in maintaining an unpretentious ambiance, a place where regulars and newcomers alike feel comfortable and welcome — something they thought would work on Henderson Avenue.
