Ten Meaty Ideas In Dallas

by Steven Doyle

Dallas is steep up in plenty of steakhouses and barbecue joints and that what might endear most of us to this city. Even our vegan friends make pretend kabobs and chicken fried steaks because that is a thing.

Today we offer many meaty ideas for your beef bucket list. Playgrounds for adults to chew cow and even a pig or two.  If you have a favorite meat haven feel free to chime in below in the comment section. We only wish we had a free grill to add to this meat pile. 

Pecan Lodge has a huge selection of beef just waiting for the order. Do something super cool and order a side of fried chicken while at the Deep Ellum restaurant. It is something you will be bragging about to the boys at the office the next day.

On a bit of a budget but want to jolt your cholesterol level? Head to Deli News in North Dallas where they make these humongous sandwiches piled high like they do in those famous New York delis we pine for. Snap a selfie with this monster while digging your choppers into one of these.

When presented with this beast of a dinner your friends will gasp with pleasure. The pig head at CBD Provisions is legendary and served with a pile of fresh tortillas and an assortment of sauces that will make anyone squeal.

John Tesar’s Knife at the Highland on Mockingbird is a beef Mecca. You do not even have to spring for the 240-day aged haunch to win over even the toughest meat curmudgeon, and the menu has a smattering of steaks priced for any budget. Incidentally, the best wedge salad in town.

Rapscallion will require a reservation because people in the know enjoy this Lowest Greenville Avenue restaurant known huge selection of meats, killer oyster selection and this bad ass burger.

As legends may have it the surf and turf at Chamberlain’s Fish Market Grill may be the very best the city has to offer. Chef-Owner Richard Chamberlain knows his way around both steaks and seafood and plates a mean dish for any occasion.

Lockhart Smokehouse in Bishop Arts and Plano works overtime to ensure that you never take a match to those tired briquettes at home. These folks have it under control and use the most manly of woods, post oak, to torch their giant slabs of beef just for your friends and family.

TJ Lengnick is cranking out some bodacious slabs of beef up north at The Star in Frisco. Great views of beautiful people, sultry surroundings and an occasional Cowboy are all background noise for the true star of this show. Enjoy a delicious bone-in ribeye or the lamb long bone for a true win at Dee Lincoln’s latest and greatest restaurant. Don’t forget there is also a slew of sushi also offered.

Thinking lamb chops, or perhaps a hunk of pork? Steaks might be the crowd choice as well. And he is really into the wine thing, right? Too many questions, just head to  Pappas Bros. and let the majority decide. The place is ripe up in sommeliers, too.

Have a hankering for something unique to put in your belly? YO Steakhouse has you covered. There will be a bit of game, beef and even a deep fried lobster to tickle your belly just right. Tucked away in Dallas’ West End you will be sure to find something terrifically special.
