Lazy susan sampler (10/10): everything on this plate was great. gochujang hot honey cauliflower, buttermilk biscuits, fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese dip, spiced chips! Highly recommend this Side of jalapeno cornbread and honey butter (9/10): also loved this. Wasn't too try and had the perfect amount of jalapeno Idas fried chicken + pimento Mac n cheese (8/10): I was so full so didn't fully finish this but the fried chicken was SO crispy & juicy. Mac n cheese wasn't the best I've had, but I'd still get it again! Double cheeseburger (10/10): wow....juicy, flavorful, not too messy to eat. Tallow fries weren't anything to write home about but paired with the burger very well! Hummingbird cake (10/10): came out nice and fresh, topped with cream cheese frosting that wasn't too sweet or thick! Kinda like a carrot cake with added nuts. Loved this!! I'd definitely come back!

We started off with the smoked wings appetizer which was as close to the old JR's Grill (IYKYK) as we've ever found. Fantastic. We moved on to the smoked prime rib and blackened redfish for dinner. Both were amazing. The smoked prime rib might be the best smoked steak I've ever had, and I've won awards for my smoking talent. The potatoes au gratin were from another universe. So fantastic! Do not sleep on this place, it's one of the best in DFW.

We ordered to poutine, pancakes and eggs. Poutine was flavorful and savory with fries that were super crispy and fresh. The toast was also warm and buttered which isn't necessarily a given at diners but they do pay attention to the details here. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Pro tip: get the home fries well-done. Absolute game changer. It was busy so we did have to wait about 30 mins. But totally worth it. We will be back!

Maple Leaf Diner offers a few traditional Canadian dishes with Texan portion sizes…read more The majority of the menu actually features classic American dishes. The food itself was enjoyable. However, the Canadian theme and novelty of the presentation make Maple Leaf Diner what it is. If I were a local, I couldn't imagine eating here often, but it's definitely a great spot to hit once in a while or if you're from out of town.

Tupelo Honey is a southern style restaurant chain that serves comfort food in a casual setting…read more They recently refreshed their menu, and they have become one of my favorite casual lunch spots in Irving-Las Colinas. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Tupelo Honey is a stand-alone restaurant conveniently located near Hwy 114 and 161. There's plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a mixture of tables, booths, and bar seating. Speaking of the bar, it acts as a beautiful backdrop for the entire restaurant. 1 Star. Service - The service is always friendly. Our server is always smiling, and I can't help but feel welcome with southern charm. Tupelo Honey trains its staff well, and I really enjoy coming here and interacting with the staff. 1 Star. Food - I always begin with the Biscuits with a Cause. These light, flakey biscuits are served warm with a crispy exterior and soft, flakey inside. But honestly, the biscuits act as a delivery mechanism for the butter and blue berry jam. I always ask for an extra side of butter and jam because I use it all. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Honey Dusted Fried Chicken (dark). The chicken was perfectly fried, crispy, and sweet. And the dark meat was juicy. Pro Tips - use your hands. Another great dish was experienced. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I have yet to have a below average dish at Tupelo Honey. Yes, it's a chain. But it's also a darn good chain that keeps its menu fresh and is worth multiple visits. 1 Star.

While the service and atmosphere were excellent, I hope the food improves because this place has a lot of potential.

My daughter split the chicken fried chicken and had more than enough to eat . We had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and queso Blanco with Piccadillo. It was good. I had a house salad and it was not bland. It had tomatoes and cucumbers and cheese and candidied pecans. We were very happy with everything. It was a Friday afternoon and by the time we left, it started to get busy, but we had no problems getting a seat because the restaurant is very large. . I hope to go there again next time I'm in the Dallas area -- it was very close to DFW

Conveniently located roughly 15 mins away from DFW, I chose this place exactly for that reason…read more I was flying home to LAX from Newark and since I have a good friend who lives in Dallas, I booked a flight that gave me a 5 hour layover at DFW so I could have dinner with said friend. DFW is massive. My friend was 30 mins late, but I wasn't trippin. I used that time to charge my phone and get a little work done. We didn't have a resy, but were seated right away. First of all, this place is massive. We both started with the espresso martini before realizing they had a happy hour menu. Our second drink was from the hh menu even though we had no business having a second cocktail. To start, we shared the fried green tomatoes. For whatever reason, we both ended up getting the western burger. Food was great. There was so much of it that I was only able to finish half and ended up taking the rest home. Great service as well. The place was crowded by the time we left. We only planned to stay for 45 minutes, but ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. Big thanks to the bartender. I went back to the airport a little tipsy after 2 drinks.

A Wednesday night with the place less than 1/3 full, so it was relatively quiet for this type of restaurant and decent for conversation. Eventually one guy had his entree' Caesar salad served, which he finished before the next dish arrived. A few more came sporadically over another 15 minutes, the rest arrived in bursts like it should. The food arrived in the all too common practice of showing up tableside as the staff holds it above eye level while shouting "WHO HAD THE blah blah?", instead of using an order seating system and just quietly serving it without having to shout at everyone up and down a long table 16 to 30 times. Personally, this type of dinner service really bothers me as it shatters any ambiance the place may have had, and kills conversation. It shows the wait and kitchen staff lack training and organization skills, but worse, that they have no concept of what dining out is, or should be. This isn't the Catfish Shack guys, get a grip. Unfortunately, I ordered the Cobb Salad which was sub par made with hamburger toppings, factory diced iceberg lettuce, diced tomato, diced egg, diced avocado, with all appearances of being shaken out of a bag, unfortunately with the wrong dressing. Dressing was on the side, thankfully, so that was fixable by flagging staff and waiting another ten minutes. It might have been resolved faster had waitstaff asked how is everything??? The Cobb was 75% of an entree serving but more than enough given what it was. A friend had the glazed salmon and rice which looked very good, other entrees looked fair, some of generous proportion. Unfortunately , as this is a larger restaurant with nice covered patio seating, it is possibly the worst of the lot as Preston/121 location is top notch in comparison. It is in need of decent management, perhaps to train/retrain the whole staff. Rather disappointing. I have no desire to return to this location.

Our server, Jorge was amazing and treated our table like the most important in the room. I'd mentioned I'd never been there and budgeted for a French onion soup & steak sandwich and he made sure I got a sample of the cheese balls and the pork crostini as well. And the bread. Yum. I walked out of there wanting to try all of Kenny's restaurants... and I will certainly do so when I head back to the area. One of the most amazing food adventures of my life. Truly. And it looked like a place that was torn out of a book on neighborhood bars. Beautiful.

Steakhouse Review #7: Kenny's Woodfire Grill. Made a…read morereservation for 7:30 on. Friday and waited about 10 minutes. The place was busy, fairly dark inside, and tightly sat. We were given a table in the side bar room by the food runner. If you know anything about me, you know Kenny's Italian is my favorite restaurant in the DFW area. I love it. So, we were excited to try this Kenny restaurant as the expectations were high. Spoiler alert: not so much. As always, the service at Kenny's was impeccable and the best we've had thus far. Our server was so friendly, attentive, and just so damn nice. After being told it was our first time there, she brought us some tenderloin crostinis and crispy fried Brie (with raspberry chipotle sauce) on the house. The Brie recipe was so damn good it made me cry. Yup. The crostinis were decent. The bread brought beforehand was fun but too eggy. We ordered a filet, the beef short rib, potato cakes, mac & cheese, brussels, and asparagus. Everything was just okay. The filet was good and tender but saucy and the short rib was okay. Both had unique flavors and good but not that special. The potato cakes were basic and neither of us liked the smoky mac with chunks of ham in it. The asparagus were hard and some of the worst we've had. The brussels were unmemorable. It seemed like everything had a smoke hint to it and it wasn't our vibe (should have known with woodfire in the title). But those Brie balls and service...almost made it all worth it. Overall, we most likely wouldn't return and will just stick with Kenny's Italian which is true perfection. Our bill was around $110 and we tipped $60 for a total of $170.
