MavenVoyager@reddit

There used to be a place in midtown- Lark on the Park...they closed down (before Covid), now it's Lucia.

4ofheartz@reddit

Bubbas chicken by SMU! The rolls are sooo good. Always drive-thru & a car picnic!

[-]

Phosizzle1@reddit (OP)

I love fried chicken, will give it a try

[-]

4ofheartz@reddit

The fried chicken tenders w green beans & mashed potatoes w gravy. If I eat inside i get chicken breast & drumstick with same sides. It’s ALL good!

[-]

IAmSoUncomfortable@reddit

Man now I wish I had gotten bubbas for lunch

And for being in the park cities their prices are so reasonable!

[-]

Mercy_Rule_34@reddit

DaLat, that Deconstructed Rachel with side of coconut curry shooters is my comfort food. Zalat is pretty dope too, but scratches a different itch

[-]

Phosizzle1@reddit (OP)

This place looks really good, thanks for the recommendation

[-]

AeroWrench@reddit

The Khanwich is so damn good I boycotted them when they got rid of it. But since they brought it back I can't bring myself to order anything else on the menu.

[-]

p8nt_junkie@reddit

Jimmy’s; anytime they’re open, I’m ready for it.

[-]

ChunkyChangon@reddit

Jimmy’s is so overrated. Not worth it

[-]

Pheo340@reddit

100% agree with you. It's fine, but not worth the hype it gets here in this subreddit.

[-]

Phosizzle1@reddit (OP)

Haven’t heard of it, but a lot of people seem to like it. Ima give it a try

[-]

311voltures@reddit

This is my only reason to drive downtown and vicinity, cannoli and Sandwiches are amazing

[-]

antarcticgecko@reddit

I was just wondering if they survived the pandemic. They still have that awesome veggie buffet? Stuffed grape leaves need to happen for me soon

[-]

Quiver-NULL@reddit

Yes. Yes. Yes. I believe they still have 2 locations in the DFW area.

[-]

The second location was/is in Richardson, and I believe the sons took it over and changed the name to Andalous. The food is exactly the same as Fadi’s (and completely amazing) though it is serve yourself buffet style. Huge banquet rooms too.

[-]

Quiver-NULL@reddit

Too funny, I've had Andalous as well (delivery) and it was amazing!

[-]

whiFi@reddit

yes! chicken kabob, spicy hummus, tomato cucumber salad, and the best fresh pita 👌🏻

I could eat at Lockhart BBQ in Bishop Arts or Eno’s every day. Paradiso also has a legit menu and an amazing vibe.

[-]

Honest_Potential8710@reddit

Not a restaurant but my favorite “fast food” has been Salata. Their large salads are enough for a meal and a half.

[-]

LateAd3737@reddit

L&L Hawaiian BBQ was the last thing I expected to see when I clicked lmao that’s crazy. Is it the same as the ones in Hawaii? It was passable when I lived there because the standards for food were a lot lower. But now that I’m in Dallas? A million places I’d choose first

But hey, to each their own, no disrespect

Ricky's hot chicken. I'd eat a birds nest extra hot every day.

[-]

Man Not enough people know about this spot. And so many people don't know what Heat is until you mess around and find out!

[-]

dionisfake@reddit

Ive never heard of lost of these places so I’m excited to try out some new ones- unfortunately my very creative answer is Chilis or Uncle Julio’s. I grew up on Chilis so I’m down all day any day but I tried Uncle Julio’s earlier this year and it’s AMAZING

[-]

Phosizzle1@reddit (OP)

Same there are a lot of suggestions that sound good. Mike’s Chicken has been name a lot so that’s on the top of my list

Ballard St Cafe is pretty good too!

[-]

graymattar@reddit

FYI - The Frankie’s in Richardson isn’t owned by the same person that owns the one in Sachse. Not sure how the food has held up. Ownership change happened a couple of years ago.

[-]

hardleft121@reddit

it's still good imho

[-]

Omnibuschris@reddit

It is still owned by Frankie and Augustin Jimenez. They started with Amigos in Richardson with their brother in law. There was a break up. Casa Mama is the brother in laws restaurants and Frankie and Augustin have 5 locations with various names. It’s all the same food at all of them.

[-]

Daisyyui@reddit

If you were deployed to Iraq and fell in love with the local food like I did, then you’ve got to check out Albaghdady restaurant in Richardson. It’s absolutely amazing.

[-]

AeroWrench@reddit

Don't sleep on Gilgamesh either. Shish tawook and shawarma plates just like the IA used to feed us at our joint COPs. Been meaning to try Bilad too as I've heard nothing but great things.

[-]

Daisyyui@reddit

Never heard of Gilgamesh. Ima give it a try. Thanks

[-]

sleuthycuban@reddit

Since you like Hawaiian food, have you tried Mo Bettahs yet?

[-]

Phosizzle1@reddit (OP)

Not yet but, but now you have my curiosity

[-]

sleuthycuban@reddit

Imo it’s not as good as L&L but a little better than Hawaiian Bros

[-]

Dropping-Truth-Bombs@reddit

Mo Berthas is way better than Hawaiian Bros.

[-]

sleuthycuban@reddit

The only reason I say “a little” is because I think I like the macaroni salad a little more at Hawaiian bros. Everything else is mo bettah at Mo bettahs. Not saying Mo bettahs Mac salad isn’t good though.

[-]

NiceSpectacles@reddit

I’m curious if anyone else here likes Hawaiian Bros macaroni salad because I’ve always had clients/friends who prefers L&L

[-]

sleuthycuban@reddit

Oh L&L is the best. I was just comparing the other two

[-]

Road_Journey@reddit

I don't know about way better but it's for sure Mo'bettah.

[-]

Phosizzle1@reddit (OP)

Haven’t tried Hawaiian Bros yet but if it’s better than I’ll give it a try thanks

The most amazing margaritas. I don’t care if they are $15. I hear some people say there are better margaritas at other places but they never are because those places use sour mix, it’s too sweet.
