Yearby's Barbecue & Waterice

Halal restaurant

👍👍 If you're up for a bit of a drive, you've got to check out Yearby’s Barbecue & Waterice. This halal spot serves up some seriously amazing brisket, and it's all made with care and attention to detail. You gotta try it with their warm brioche buns - so good! And don't forget about their mac and chees...

Brain Food Dallas

Caterer

👍 The place was clean but the service was flat & robotic, it was my first time in and the young lady made no eye contact, my order was taken on a post it note. Being a business owner/operator for over 25+ years, I almost always expect, Hi, How are you? Is this your first time here? How did you hear ab...

Lamar & Niki's Pit Barbecue and Soul Food

American restaurant

👍👍 This place was awesome! We stopped in for a Saturday lunch with a friend and had heard great things and figured we'd check it out.

Sum 2 Eat - Soul Food Resturant

Soul food restaurant

👍👍 This place has the best food, reminiscent of my grandmother's from-scratch homemade dishes. They serve a choice of meat or fish entrees with a variety of veggies on the side, topped off by a cornbread muffin or roll. It's all yummy. The outside doesn't look too great, but don't let that influence yo...

Shelby’s Food for the Soul (Shelby’s Food Truck)

The Singing Chef Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 OMG! You have to try this place! It's a tad off the beaten path....a little hole in the wall place located in a small strip shopping center... But BOY IS IT GOOD!

Coach SLim Snowcones

Dessert shop

👍👍 Being a MS native, I learned quickly that the DFW don’t know much about sno balls! I lucked up and found this gem in Carrollton and became a repeat customer. From the sno balls to the nachos to my favorite pig lips and lays chips! Coach Slim’s southern hospitality reminds me of home!

Traphouse Caribbean

Caribbean restaurant

👍👍 The food was life changing. I don't know why this place was five minutes from my office and I had no idea it was there. There are several vegan options that actually have flavor. If you live in Austin you'll understand why that is a big statement to make. And the business is black owned.

Galloway's Sandwich Shop

Sandwich shop

👍 Galloway's has been hiding in plain sight. I've enjoyed all 3 meals I have tried at this little spot. If you are interested in food that tastes homemade then this is your spot. There's nothing fancy about the restaurant or food but it feels welcoming and tastes good. I first had the beef enchiladas...

Buffalo Creek BBQ

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 Excellent barbecue found here for sure! Sides were equally good. The service was very impressive and employees were very helpful and courteous. Place was clean, well lit, and looked new.
