Rank 47. Cattleack Barbeque
Barbecue
Wood smoke announces Cattleack before you see the line. Pitmaster Andrew Castelan tends oak and hickory fires for brisket and ribs that need nothing but themselves, though the bright, tangy house sauce sits ready on every table. Sides—charred greens, burnt end beans, street corn—and cornbread complete the picture of a barbecue operation running exactly as it should.

Rank 52. Fearing's
Southwestern New American
Inside the Ritz-Carlton, Chef Dean Fearing's dining room reads traditional steakhouse but operates by its own rules. A Lone Star mosaic of raw tuna, wagyu, salmon, and barbecued eel arrives like stained glass; baklava s'more pivots toward pistachio marshmallow and burnt rosemary ice cream. American cooking with Southwestern swagger, built on surprise.

Rank 63. Mamani
Contemporary French
Chef Christophe De Lellis, formerly of Joël Robuchon in Vegas, opened this polished Dallas outpost around elevated bistro cooking and impeccable technique. Dover sole in brown butter and a textbook Paris-Brest suggest a kitchen that respects classical foundations while a serious wine list rewards the curious diner.

Rank 68. Georgie
Contemporary
Georgie dresses its dining room in peachy retro-modern tones while the kitchen plays with form—crispy potato churros, roasted chicken with sauce vin jaune—without losing sight of ingredient quality and classical technique. The prices are steep, but the attentive service and indulgent desserts justify the splurge.

Rank 69. Quarter Acre
New American
Chef Toby Archibald's intimate Dallas dining room channels a New Zealand-inflected aesthetic while his cooking balances classical technique with international flourishes, from pristine raw preparations to fire-kissed finishes. The tasting menu unfolds as a personal, seasonally calibrated narrative rather than a greatest-hits collection.

Rank 72. Catbird
Cocktail Bar
Climb to the ninth floor of the Thompson Hotel and squeeze through a flower tunnel into Catbird, an art deco fever dream of geometric prints, fireplaces, and a bedazzled Russian doll that feels like a surrealist gallery collided with a swanky lounge. Cocktails lean playful—think gin sippers infused with green tea and cold foam concoctions made with mineral water—and the rooftop wraps around the city like you've unlocked a secret level.

Rank 73. Ngon Vietnamese Kitchen
Vietnamese
Carol Nguyen's rustic-trimmed space on Lower Greenville channels Hanoi street food with an unpretentious hand. Green papaya salad arrives layered with herbs and house-made beef jerky; noodle bowls come crowned with chargrilled pork and imperial rolls, the cooking bright and balanced throughout. A neighborhood gathering place that serves the straightforward, well-executed thing.

Rank 74. MộT Hai Ba
Fusion
A narrow room with wood floors and brick hides behind an auto repair shop, where Chef Peja Krstic blends Serbian roots with Vietnamese and French technique and Texas ingredients—beef brisket in steamed bao, tempura squash blossoms with nuoc cham, coconut lemongrass panna cotta with peanut crumble. The cooking is restless and curious, never settling into one tradition.

Rank 76. Cosmo's
Vietnamese
A corner spot with '60s lounge bones, a VHS-stacked bar, and a patio that feels miles from the street, Cosmo's pairs specialty cocktails—including a martini built with house-brewed Vietnamese coffee—with an eclectic kitchen that nails Vietnamese dishes. The garlic noodles are worth a special trip if they're available that night.

Rank 77. Gemma
Contemporary New American
A husband-and-wife team runs this intimate neighborhood spot with the ease of people who've learned their craft in serious kitchens. The roasted heirloom carrots and Idaho trout almondine anchor a seasonal menu that turns simple ingredients into small revelations, while a warm raisin scone and Meyer lemon tart bookend the meal with understated refinement.

Rank 82. Knox Bistro
French
A bright bistro staffed by French émigrés who understand the assignment: rillettes de poisson at lunch, lapin à la moutarde and canard à l'orange at dinner, a Paris-Brest for dessert that arrives looking like it wandered out of a pastry case in the sixth arrondissement. The room resists heavy-handed Gallic theatrics in favor of something more elegant—a restaurant that lets the food speak.

Rank 85. Katy Trail Ice House
Texas Beer Bar
A sprawling patio off the Katy Trail where the beer list skews all-Texas and the crowd leans outdoorsy and thirsty. This ice house does Texas whiskeys and venison chili with the kind of casual, colorful ease that makes you want to stay longer than you planned.

Rank 89. Tei-An
Japanese Noodles
In a stark, gallery-like space in the Arts District, Tei-An grounds itself in the ritualism of handmade noodles—soba and udon served hot or cold with both classical and unorthodox accompaniments. The kitchen moves beyond its foundations with equal command, turning out tempura and grilled eel alongside tonkatsu, each dish executed with the precision of someone who has thought through every detail.

Rank 94. El Carlos Elegante
Mexican
The wood-fired grill anchors a warm dining room where crab cakes give way to pork al pastor and house-made masa for tableside taco assembly. Charred okra and Mexican chocolate pot de crème round out a menu built on grilled meats and shareable plates, paired with a serious tequila and mezcal program.
