Dallas is home to a new Raising Cane's that's been given a one-of-a-kind Post Malone x Dallas Cowboys makeover.

Located at 2255 W. Northwest Hwy., the restaurant can be seen from afar thanks to the 32-foot-tall light-rimmed star that forms an entrance to the drive-thru and the custom silver vinyl wrap around the exterior.

Inside are silhouettes of Post on stage, blue lighting throughout, Dallas Cowboys memorabilia, a suit of armor, and a vending machine featuring exclusive merchandise.

Malone's partnership with Raising Cane's began after he persuaded founder Todd Graves to open a location that Post designed near his home in Midvale, Utah.

He's also a big Cowboys fan.

Key restaurant features include:

An exterior wrapped in a silver vinyl that features silhouette images of Post Malone and his iconic on-stage moments
An iconic 32-foot-tall Dallas Cowboys star greeting customers as they enter the drive-thru, adorned by classic images of Post Malone
A patio that's a nod to Post's love for "pong" with the tables and chairs placed accordingly, giving customers and fans a fun place to dine and enjoy their Box Combos
Cane's red logo, replaced by the blue Post Malone x Cane's logo on the building and pole signs
A wall behind the front counter that morphs from the Raising Cane's x Post Malone collab logo to an on-stage image of Post Malone as they step closer to order
A vending machine with exclusive merch that can't be found anywhere else including socks, drink sleeves, hats, foam football, keychains, magnet, T-shirt, and lapel pin
A Post Malone fan mailbox inside the restaurant for fan mail, which is regularly picked up and delivered to Post himself

Displays throughout the restaurant feature vintage Dallas Cowboys memorabilia including an early 90s autographed game jersey, custom cleats, and more.

Wall displays include a knight suit replica of a 1400s Gothic Armor produced in the 1800s as well as a variety of displays that pay tribute to Post's iconic style and tours including:

Post's jorts and sneakers
Broken guitars
Custom Post Malone Dallas Cowboys hat
Outfits worn by Post at Posty Fest in 2019 from a performance at a show in Texas
the "I Like You" music video
the Times Square performance

LED screens feature small animations that dance across the screen to bring to life the artwork featured on the Post x Cane's x Cowboys cup along with footage from the Midvale opening.

Post's booth area features a custom painting of Post Malone by artist Patrick Ganino.

"Growing up in Dallas, I've been a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Cane's since I was a kid, so it is an honor to be part of this collaboration with two of the greatest brands in history," Malone says in a statement.

And Dallas Cowboys owner/president/general manager Jerry Jones chimes in.

"First the Post Malone x Cane's Cowboys cups and now an entire Restaurant. We just love the partnership and friendship with Todd Graves, Cane's and Post Malone," Jones says. "We're very proud to be part of this innovative new store and concept and seeing that big Cowboys star in position to greet everyone will be a great reminder and reflection of how much we value and celebrate our continued collaboration."

Deep Ellum News

Mexican 'vibe' restaurant from California to open in Deep Ellum Dallas

Mama Por Dios

A buzzy concept from California is coming to Dallas: Mama Por Dios, a Mexican restaurant chain known for its vibe, will open its first location in Texas in Deep Ellum in the Epic development at 2525 Elm St., taking over the former La Neta space, which shuttered in May.

According to a spokesperson, the restaurant will open in early to mid-January.

Mama Por Dios was founded in Southern California in 2020 by chef Misael Guerrero, who famously got his start selling Mexican sushi out of his garage.

Since those early days, he's gone on to form a restaurant empire called Emme Group, with concepts that include Los Amores de Julia, El Rincon de Los Dolidos, and Culichi Town, a lower-priced chain known for Sinaloa-style Mexican sushi & seafood, which has a local presence: It opened a location in Mesquite in 2022.

Mama Por Dios — which translates to "Mother of God" — describes itself as modern Mexican, offering a unique blend of steakhouse, sushi bar, and seafood. The menu includes favorites like tacos and enchiladas, alongside luxe dishes like lobster with spaghetti, lobster enchiladas, and a surf & turf featuring a lobster tail balanced atop a skirt steak. Prices range from $18 for birria tacos to $48 for a bacon-wrapped filet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus.

But they also have a showy side that includes flamboyant presentations such as the bacon-wrapped shrimp which come strung on clothespins; or the trompito al pastor, served on a personal spit, as well as servers who walk around with shots while dancing with patrons.

There's a Gold Burger for $65 featuring Prime beef on a brioche bun garnished with 24k gold leaf, and a similarly gilded tomahawk steak for $400 that brings to mind the good old days of Salt Bae. Decor is swanky with low lighting, and there'll be a serious brunch offering on weekends.

Cocktails such as the Al Agua Pato — served in a mini bathtub with a rubber ducky — are made for Instagram. They offer margarita and mezcalita flights with flavors such as mango, tamarindo, and strawberry, and intriguing sips like Carajillo, a Spanish cocktail with Licor 43, espresso, and 43 different fruit, citrus, aromatic, and herbal ingredients.

There’s also a $20 per-person minimum spend, and the menu comes with a warning that everything is cooked to order — meaning some dishes may take 30 to 40 minutes. For many diners, waiting will surely be part of the experience.
