Best lunch spot in Dallas, TX

Rodeo Goat, a burger joint on Market Center near The turtle creek blvd intersection. Really good burger.
 
Katy Freeway (I10 foing west to the 'burb of Katy) is going to $10 toll during rush hour. I used the Gulf Freeway one that was $4.50 right before rush. interesting mix use of socialism and capitalism. Everyone's tax dollars pay for the roads and then you have to pay a surcharge based on traffic.
The Katy Fwy is one of the prime examples of where managed toll lanes have not delivered on the promised of reduced congestion. Here's an article: http://www.houstontomorrow.org/liva...-to-drive-out-katy-freeway-in-2014-than-2011/
Travel times increasing 51% despite new managed lanes and ever increasing tolls is not exactly a success story to me. The 95 Express lanes in Miami are having the same issues. These projects do not decrease traffic or really improve traffic flow that much. The only way to truly keep the managed lanes free flowing is to have no cap on the toll limit, which pretty much no state would dare to do.

I used to not be so against toll roads, but after seeing many of the toll scams of the last decade, I definitely on the side against toll roads now.
 
I plan to uber...at least to the ball park.

One of my friends in Fort Worth is addicted to that place. He goes to the location over there all the time and wants to take me the next time I'm home. Supposedly their beer offering is off the chain.

Twisted Root is a local burger chain with really good food.
 
If you go to a ranger's game, try to avoid left field seats to help with the heat. Seats behind home plate/along the first base side/right field help a lot.
 
I'm not TexSkills, but this is my favorite steakhouse in the world: Bob's Steak and Chop House

It's best if you can get to the original one (on Lemmon Ave in Dallas), but there are locations all around the metroplex, including on the other side of the airport from Irving/Las Colinas.
 
Russ's pick for a steakhouse is a very good one. Bob's is an old-school Dallas steakhouse and, I agree with Russ, the original location on Lemmon Avenue is the best one. If you can't get into one of their locations, Al Biernat's and Nick & Sam's are also both very good. Both are in the Turtle Creek area and are within roughly 2 miles of each other.

Although it is a chain that started in Dallas, Del Frisco's isn't what it used to be. The one on Spring Valley Road in Dallas was awesome back in the day but I've heard it's not as good as it used to be. I've heard similar about the location in downtown Fort Worth.

Pappa Brothers Steakhouse is out on Lombardy Lane where Stemmons Fwy meets Northwest Highway. I guess it's technically a chain since they have two other locations, both in Houston, but the food there is phenomenal. Their wine selection beats the pants off any other steakhouse I've been to with the exception of Bern's.
 
That's news to me about the Ft Worth location. I probably should've mentioned that I have never been to the Dallas ones.
 
Looks like it's Pappa Bro's...one of guys in our group had someone recommend it to him today.

Sometimes I get these threads mixed up on different sites but I saw a guy on another site say that the best steak he's ever had was at Pappas in Dallas. Maybe I should try it sometime.
