    Cool drinks and icy desserts chill down this Dallas restaurant news

    The end of July brings another roundup of dining news around Dallas, and this one has a little something for everyone: from a downtown closure to a reopening to an abrupt relocation. There are also new seasonal menus including some ice-cold desserts to combat the July heat.

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

    CBD Provisions, the restaurant at The Joule in downtown Dallas has closed — temporarily, according to an Instagram post. "After a decade downtown, we are closing for renovations. We’ll be back, refreshed, and better than ever in early 2026," the post says. The restaurant has been there for more than a decade, opening in 2013, with a swirl of press that mostly revolved around its barbarian pig's head carnitas, a shared dish featuring a half pig head from which diners would pull meat and stuff it into a tortilla.

    Red Stix Street Food, the pan-Asian restaurant from celebrity chef Uno Immanivong, has closed its Park Cities location at 6501 Hillcrest Ave. #130. It first opened in 2019. The Farmers Branch location is still open, and Immanivong has a catering and test kitchen in the works.

    Dulce Nina, the taco truck-turned-restaurant in the Cedars District, is reopening on August 1 after a three-month hiatus. It's now under the new management of managing partner Mike Law with a menu created by chef Bharat Bala. The menu features wings, appetizers, brunch, beers, and margaritas.

    The POT, a baked potato truck and ghost kitchen concept, has reopened as a food truck at 1516 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. It was previously located inside the shared kitchen space South Dallas Cloud Kitchen at 1639 South Blvd. but closed in June after an "unexpected and abrupt removal from South Dallas Cloud Kitchen owned by Cornerstone Baptist Church."

    Little Caesars opened a location at 7738 Forest Ln. in Dallas on July 26. Headquartered in Detroit, Little Caesars was founded by Mike and Marian Ilitch in 1959 as a single, family-owned restaurant. Now it is the third-largest pizza chain in the world, known for its pizza and "crazy bread," with restaurants in every state plus 29 countries and territories.

    Café Momentum, the non-profit restaurant and youth culinary training facility, has a new summer menu. Created by Chef de Cuisine Aaron Collins, it features coffee-rubbed 44 Farms NY Strip with Comeback Creek red potatoes; pork chop with grits; seabass with summer corn; fettuccine with prawns in ancho cream; vegan lasagna with Demases Farms squash & zucchini; and fried green tomatoes. Desserts include Black Forest pot de creme, hummingbird cake, and white peach and pear sorbet.

    Carbone Dallas has brought back its Celebration of Tomatoes seasonal menu, featuring Insalata Caprese, Spaghetti Pomodoro, scallops riserva, lasagna verde, and a Caprese martini featuring tomato water and basil oil. Available through the end of August.

    Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse has a limited-time two-course dining experience called The Vaulted Table priced at $79 with watermelon & Heirloom tomato salad with grilled halloumi cheese; and Surf & Turf with a 10-oz Wagyu skirt steak, lobster tail, and French fries. Available at Uptown Dallas, Fort Worth, and Plano through August 29. They say you must specifically request "The Vaulted Table" when making reservations.

    Stoneleigh P, the Oak Lawn bar known for its burgers and beer, is now serving pizza with Jimmy's sausage and house-made sauces, thanks to Cordon Bleu-trained Stoneleigh P chef Bruce Schuver. Pizzas include hot honey pepperoni, meat lovers, sausage fennel, alfredo chicken, and veggie for $14-$16. Available Wednesday-Sundays daily and every night.

    Rusty Taco, the Dallas-based taco chain, has a new menu with starters such as tres grande — a trio of queso, salsa, and guacamole served with chips; crunch rolls; and an expanded taco lineup including crispy chicken taco, corny pig taco, and dynamite shrimp taco.

    Thirsty Lion Gastropub has new limited time items including spicy shrimp ceviche stack, Heirloom tomato Caprese salad, Wagyu beef & bacon jam burger, and miso & orange lazed salmon. Prices start at $14 for the heirloom tomato salad.

    Snooze A.M. Eatery, the buzzy brunch chain, has a new summer menu featuring almond butter coconut porridge, whipped cottage cheese bowl, greens & grains bowl, burrata toast, and biscuits & gravy. A porridge is $13.

    Cheba Hut has a returning sandwich: the Orange Widow toasted sub with chicken, bacon, chipotle mayo, ranch, and mushrooms. A new lemon blueberry cookie made with real lemon zest and blueberries is $4.

    The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill has two new items, available through August 31. The watermelon salad features watermelon, cucumber, fresh mint, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette for $7. The Saganaki burger is Greek-inspired with a charbroiled beef & lamb patty with Kasseri cheese, arugula, red onion, and tzatziki, on a brioche bun for $16.

    Black Tap is collaborating with the FX series Alien: Earth for a limited-time burger and shake. The Alien Earth burger features prime beef, onion petals, pepper jack cheese, cilantro, and fries for $23; and Cryo Crazyshake features Mountain Dew topped with a chocolate cake slice, drizzle for $22. Is there no ice cream in that shake? Available through August 10.

    Andy's Frozen Custard is expanding into beverages with a new Cherry Limeade with Sprite, cherries, key lime syrup, and vanilla frozen custard. Yummy Latte features vanilla or chocolate frozen custard with espresso and choice of caramel or fudge. Brewed iced tea is available in sweet, unsweet, raspberry, cherry, or strawberry flavors. Tea starts at $2, cherry limeade starts at $6.

    Rita's Italian Ice has a gummy bear Italian ice featuring white Italian Ice mixed with real gummy bears; and a new glittery gummy bear gelati layered with gummy bear Italian ice, vanilla frozen custard, and a shimmering unicorn glitter topping. Both items available through August 24.

    Dog Haus has a "betr" burger, a collaboration with food artist Josh Elkin and content creator-boxer Jake Paul. The burger features a Nashville hot-rubbed Angus beef smash patty, bacon onion jam, and miso ranch on King’s Hawaiian rolls. Available for $14 through September 8.

    Sheraton Dallas Hotel is partnering with Dallas-based craft brewery, Manhattan Project Beer Co., to launch a House Honey Lager, available on tap at the hotel’s’ restaurants and bars: Draft Sports Bar & Lounge, Open Palette, and The Parlor.

    Bourbon & Banter the speakeasy inside The Statler Dallas hotel has been named one of the 25 most historic bars, taverns, and speakeasies by Historic Hotels of America.

    North Texas Food Bank has a new co-branded truck with Access Healthcare and Texas Super Kings with each of their logos on the truck.

    Palladino's Steak & Seafood opening in Dallas earns raves in New York

    High-profile new steakhouse Palladino’s Steak & Seafood, the eponymous concept from restaurateur Joseph Palladino slated to open in North Dallas in spring 2026, is currently the toast of New York.

    Palladino is the ex-NYPD police officer-turned-restaurateur known for concepts such as Nick & Sam's Steakhouse and the Coal Vines pizza chain. Palladino's Steak & Seafood is his newest creation, combining steakhouse, Italian, and seafood, particularly sushi.

    The Dallas location will be opening at the intersection of Preston and Royal in the former Spec's space at 5959 Royal Ln. — but the concept has already made its debut in New York at the Grand Central Terminal, where it opened in September, emerging as one of the city's hottest openings, drawing celebrity visits and raves.

    Here's some of the buzz it has already generated in New York:

    Actor Armand Assante (Gotti, American Gangster) visited the restaurant in late September. Posing for a photo with Palladino and Las Vegas restaurateur Nick Bimonte, Assante proclaimed it to be "without rival."

    Eater New York added Palladino's to its list of Best Steakhouses in NYC.

    Actor William DeMeo (Gotti, The Sopranos), who has become a Palladino's semi-regular, dined there in mid-December with Italian restaurateur Steve Martorano (Cafe Martorano, Martorano's Prime). Martorano called it "one of the best meals I ever experienced in my life."

    The cast and crew of Gravesend, the Mafia-themed Amazon series DeMeo created, filmed an episode at Palladino's with Sopranos cast members Vince Curatola and Chuck Zito.

    The NY Post called Palladino's "NYC’s hottest new restaurant," noting that it's been "packed day and night." They gushed over the atmosphere and compared the steaks to chef Daniel Boulud’s great La Tete D’Or. "Grand Central Terminal, America’s greatest railroad nexus, deserved a great American restaurant. Brand-new Palladino’s Steak & Seafood is it."

    Forbes did a feature spotlighting "Two Recently Opened New York City Steakhouses Offering A Unique Take," which included Palladino's and Cuerno — A Mexican steakhouse in the Time Life building at Rockefeller Center. "Grand Central Station may not be the first place you think of when you are trying to find an elevated dining experience. But newly opened Palladino’s provides several reasons to visit besides the need to catch a train," they said, before going on to praise the "exceptional" service and steaks.

    A story by Resident magazine called Palladino's "a new era of fine dining at Grand Central Terminal" with a particular focus on the design by acclaimed Rockwell Group, which they said "channels the glamour of rail travel in the 1920s and 30s with Art Deco details, vintage-inspired finishes, and a sweeping sense of forward motion," before marveling at the "striking 2,000-square-foot all-season outdoor patio — the first of its kind at Grand Central."

    The Today Show aired a segment on December 28 starring Palladino's executive chef Sam Hazen demo-ing their lunch sliders, featuring three mini burgers with American cheese, pickles & caramelized onions, stacked on a vertical spike and doused with a cheesy fondue sauce. (Palladino's also does a slider at dinner with filet mignon and truffle aioli.)

    Humans of New York, the famous photography storytelling project, did a profile on Joseph Palladino and his mother, Catherine, after he hosted their exhibit, called "Dear New York," at Palladino's, giving them a prominent, highly visible platform on the restaurant's balcony.
