Xtreme Hygiene, a facility services company out of Carrollton that provides restroom sanitation services, institutional paper products, hand soaps, hand sanitizer and other products and services. This business is family owned, customer service focused and goes toe to toe with the industry corporate giants, like Cintas, every day.

Super-Estimate-544@reddit

Hyderabadi Biryani & BBQ near Walnut Hill DART station. Family owned small business run by two of the sweetest older ladies. Food is authentic & VERY affordable. If you are ever in the area, please give it a try!

They are currently raising money for one of their daughter’s wedding. Please consider supporting the business & donating if you can. 🙏🏽

Am I crazy or did there used to be a mini ramp for skateboarding in this building?

[-]

DoubleBookingCo@reddit

Yes it was a smoke shop and they had a mini ramp but I thought it was outside.

I was at a meeting that had bakery items from there. They were phenomenal!

[-]

Proof-Main8915@reddit

DaLat, the Vietnamese restaurant on Fitzhugh! Owned by the same guy who runs Zalat pizza (which is across the street), but it couldn’t be more different. It’s honestly a whole vibe. Love that place.

[-]

Strega45@reddit

Khan owns Dalat. Khan is a female.She sold Zalat proper but retains a percentage of every location; of which there are many!

[-]

MortytheMortician9@reddit

Khan is a man.

Strega45@reddit

I absolutely respect you and appreciate your information. I knew Khan when she opened Dalat. We shall agree to disagree. Best!

If your interested in good Salvadorian foods go to Casa Linda Salvadorian Cuisine! It’s honestly soooo bomb! Its near white rock lake and it looks a little weird outside but the inside is soooo nice! I personally really like their fried yuca fries

[-]

JayFabFucko@reddit

Another excellent choice! Try there loroco pupusas are so good!

[-]

Rickleskilly@reddit

Quoc Bao Bakery in Garland. Delicious sandwiches.

[-]

Grab a sandwich and coffee from here every chance I get! Best Ban mi in the city!

InternalBobcat4443@reddit

Fusion Mediterranean on 635 and Preston, everything is phenomenal and the owner and staff are really nice. I think it’s that the location doesn’t have the greatest visability. Best hummus imo.

[-]

[-]

beardlesswonder@reddit

Needs more love? They're super busy whenever I go

We're busy Friday and Saturday evenings for about 2.5 hours each. We could certainly use some love the other hours!

[-]

beardlesswonder@reddit

Touche! We love your pizza & brews

[-]

ivb107@reddit

ABC Party on Davis St in Oak Cliff! The owners are incredibly sweet, genuine people. They go ALL OUT on holiday themed items and they have the best piñatas ever (trump, ICE agent, vacationing Ted Cruz, Punch and his stuffed orangutan… to name a few). Absolutely worth it to spend your money here instead of a big box shop.

[-]

Ill_Storm168@reddit

Honcura auto repair in Irving. Quality service and excellent pricing. They won’t do work you don’t need and as a woman you can go and know you won’t be taken advantage of.

[-]

Doda Burger and Sushi

That Cardi B sandwich was fire and the potatoes were so good! IIRC, they got robbed and didn’t recover from it.

[-]

Open_Cricket_2127@reddit

I eat there almost daily and I will have a temper tantrum if a bunch of idiots start clogging up the lunch line.

For anyone who saw this, no you didn't. Go have a Velvet Taco or something idc.

[-]

penguin444@reddit

There's this non-descript hole in the wall bagel shop in Flower Mound. The sign just says "BAGELS" and I only discovered them because they are next to a boba shop I frequent. According to Yelp, their name is "Boil and Bake Bagels"

It's supposedly a New York bagel. Honestly I've only been to New York once, and had consumed a grand total of one bagel there, and I really don't remember much about it, so I can't give any type of opinion as to the authenticity of it is.

But what I can say is their bagels are stupidly good. I'd rather go there than Starship in Lewisville. Breakfast sandwiches are great, everything bagel is crack, and they have the best veggie spread I've ever eaten.

The owner is super friendly too and always makes small talk when she's making your order.

It's a tiny shop: no seating area, no coffee either. Just tasty tasty bagels.

[-]

ZenPopsicle@reddit

La Calle Doce - Lakewood. Wonderful Mexican seafood run by a sweet family for years. Don’t skip the fish soup.

[-]

doppelstranger@reddit

My go to is the Enchiladas de Camaron. It comes with a cup of the fish soup. Great chips and salsa as well. The original is on Twelfth St in North Oak Cliff. Either location is a great choice.

[-]

ZenPopsicle@reddit

I've had those; they are goooooood.

[-]

nope33@reddit

Rayo’s Taqueria on NW & Jupiter - best birria tacos ever and family owned/ run.

Flaming Burger on Garland Rd. - our ONLY go to for amazing burgers. We’re extremely picky.

Thai Thai in Greenville - hands down the best Thai and always consistent. Been eating there for almost 15 years.

[-]

Davik04@reddit

Flaming Burger is legit! One of my favorites!

[-]

Obvious-Plantain-564@reddit

Came here to suggest Rayos!!! Consistently amazing every time.

Key_Key9405@reddit

Four Bullets Brewery in Richardson! It's tucked back a bit behind the Chevy dealership on 75 and Arapaho. Food trucks pretty much always on hand, super friendly owners, and they've been bran thing out beer styles more the last year or so! Weekends have live music all the time. Place is also family and dog friendly

[-]

JokersGlascowSmile@reddit

Latin Deli in Lake Highlands. Best chicken sandwich in the city.

[-]

Bets4Real@reddit

Came here to say Latin Deli too. So so good and struggling ever since their break in last year.

[-]

BadGolferDallas@reddit

I just had their cheesesteak the other day. Amazing.

[-]

BadGolferDallas@reddit

LA Burger in Richardson. Maybe the most underrated burgers in DFW.

Snarfs Sandwiches in Lakewood. Great sandwiches.

Naminohana Hand Rolls on Greenville Ave. Seriously considering not sharing this one because I don’t want it to get too crowded.

[-]

HoneyIShrunkMyNads@reddit

I'll have to try it, also banna I hear is amazing

The Ethiopian scene is crazy here tbh, think we have the second most Ethiopians of any American city aside from DC

[-]

justkayoh@reddit

+1 for Banna!! It’s my favorite Ethiopian in DFW. Their vegetarian combo and their portion sizes are amazing.

[-]

TheRon_Says@reddit

Did something recently change with this spot? They look to have a lot of new 5 star reviews over the last week or two. They used to have really poor reviews. Is there new ownership?

I drive by this place daily and have never gone because of the previous bad reviews online. Doesn’t help that the outside looks rather run down.

[-]

RaisingCanes4POTUS@reddit

An influencer went there on YouTube

[-]

TheRon_Says@reddit

Ah okay, so they likely were able to get google to delete their bad reviews and then paid an influencer to show up and are paying for positive reviews. That explains it.

[-]

RaisingCanes4POTUS@reddit

I don’t think he was paid and his review seemed pretty honest. It’s Dylan huynh on YouTube on a video about trying empty restaurants

[-]

boyyouguysaredumb@reddit

I wouldn’t eat there if you paid for it. There is no way that place has passed a health inspection in a decade. It looks completely run down and the reviews are consistently terribly, like the other commenter said until a few weeks ago when it’s getting positive reviews for some reason?

[-]

electricgotswitched@reddit

I knew this place sounded familiar. I've chosen to not ever eat there for 7 years. The oldest review is 7 months old and ain't now way that's right.

[-]

Weary-Idea1677@reddit

Lmao I am frightened by that place, I live right down the road. Guess I need to walk in

[-]

Didn’t they merge with Snow Pea? Snow Pea used to be in Lakewood.

Window Seat Coffee on Lower Greenville. The owners are terrific and the vibe is super friendly. They really care about their coffee and their customers .

G&G Sevan is an incredible Mediterranean restaurant on the Northern side of "Lowest Greenville (Ave.)" not only is the food top notch, but it's BYOB and the shop next door carries serviceable lines if you forget. Top dishes include: Sevan hummus, kebabs, gyro

[-]

Enigmaticfirecracker@reddit

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the metroplex!

[-]

CatteNappe@reddit

That place has been a long time favorite of ours. They've been fairly busy the last few times we were there, so I think they've picked up a following.

We used to love The Great Outdoors but they've changed in the past 3 years or so and their sandwiches just aren't good anymore. My parents and grown daughter stopped going for the same reason.

[-]

WhirledNews@reddit

Yeah it’s not the same. I used to go back in the day (long time ago) last time I went (maybe a year and a half ago) I got the turkey pastrami and the meat was terrible, like rubber. The bread wasn’t good either… such a shame.

The Spelled Milk in Bishop Arts! Every kind of cereal you can think of and tons of ones you’ve never heard about. They also have cereal milkshakes and ice cream along with card games and fun trinkets/candies. The owner, Michael is always there and is such a vibe to chat with too, you can tell he’s really passionate about cereal lol

Gankcore@reddit

Crabcore's Carnivores, but I think OP already knows that. :)

[-]

bob-leblaw@reddit

Saviano’s in Hurst/Euless is amazing. No windows so time doesn’t exist, feels like an underbar in Chicago or NYC. They make 3-6 limoncellos in-house and are next level. Nothing fancy, the menus always feel like they need to have been replaced 7 years ago. But the joint is clean and the staff are all proud to work there. The food is some amazing stuff. Zero “corporate feel”, it’s just ideal for me.

Side note: Ride with a designated driver or Uber. The drinks are strong and filled high.
