    Mom's Meatloaf
    Dustin U.

    I had Mom's Meatloaf with Mac & Cheese and Corn. I can't put into words how underwhelming this meal was. Hungry man TV dinner comes to mind. I've had better meatloaf in an MRE while I'm the Army. The staff automatically included a 20% gratuity for our table of 5, which seemed odd. Nearly $17 for this meal and a water. This meal made meI'd of been happier if we'd gone to McDonalds.

    We ordered from DoorDash so the only ambiance was in my living room. But at least their service was excellent. The food was so delicious! It had such a wonderful flavor. I can't even describe the flavors, but it was such an incredible blend of sweet, salty, and heat. Walter's kitchen is a must if you're on a quest for flavorful food.

    I had an early morning flight and was staying at the hotel next-door as it is very close to Dallas Love Field. There was no room service or restaurant in the hotel, so I decided to search for nearby restaurants. When I went to the Walters kitchen website, I read his story. I think reading his history is what convinced me I had to try his place. We ordered nachos and a chicken fried steak dinner. The nachos were excellent with the works, except for jalapeños. I asked for them to leave those off. The chicken fried steak was absolutely huge and it covered almost everything else in the to-go box! it was cooked to perfection with the outside being very crispy and the inside, tender and juicy. The gravy comes on the side and you can order white or brown. The vegetables tasted fresh and the mashed potatoes were real. So creamy with little chunks of potato. We travel through Dallas several times a year and usually stay at this hotel the night before an early flight. I will definitely be returning to Walters kitchen.

    Price discrepancies, small portions, high prices, and adds and automatic tip. First time in Dallas and to this place, but I am not certain I will return or if it's worth it.

    Discrepancy in pricing- menu should read two different prices pending paying cash or card
    Eric S.

    Beware! The prices listed on the men are not what gets printed on your bill. For example, menu reads 14.95 for meatloaf but bill rings up as 15.55. 60 cents is not a lot, but this tactic repeated over and over for customers throughout the day is dishonest. The food is good and the service is okay- but the waitress was not willing to correct the bill saying "prices are lower if you pay cash." They should correct their menu. It's not right, fair or honest. If you choose to eat here, tripple check your bill. And don't even get me started on the Fox news being broadcasted throughout the venue.

    Attentive staff...good wholesome food, large portions. Had the CFS--man, huge, juicy and fresh!

    What a gem! We found this place during the 2023 Winter Storm; one of the few places even open today. From the time we pulled into the parking lot we've been impressed. It was one of the few parking lots that had been cleared off today. Upon walking inside we were greeted by Jodie and she was a joy to have as a server and bar tender. The drinks were very reasonable and the selection would rival any bar in Texas. The food was delicious! Walter, himself stopped by our table and visited with us for a few minutes. The menu has a wide selection of food to meet almost anyone's food preferences and is based on the types of food Walter likes. We were a party of 4 and we had the spring rolls (4 to an order). These were so good. Then between us we had the Chicken Fried Chicken, the Chicken Fried Steak,and Kung Pao Chicken. The fried steak and chicken looked hand breaded and the gravies (brown and white) were creamy and seasoned great. The Kung Pao Chicken was served with steamed white rice and had just the right amount of spice. The sides were all great too, green beans, pinto beans and corn were just like Momma's home cooking.

    The receipt enclosed show the gratuity of a family 6 with 3 being under 12.... There was no option for us to decide our own gratuity......
    Ashely B.

    Coming into the restaurant we noticed no one was in, but since we stayed in the hotel right next to it, why not. Totally outrageous for breakfast. No options of gratuity at ALL... the food was decent but not worth this much. Small business restaurants we have to do better. We will support you but not like this....

    I'm not sure why this place isn't packed because the food is reasonably priced, good tasting food. The waitress was pleasant and helpful with food selections. She knows the menu well. My husband and I ordered from the Asian menu since the chef worked for another Asian restaurant chain for many years. The sauces on the chicken dishes were homemade and excellent. Others on the restaurant had large portions of chicken fried steak that looked good, and by the expressions and n their faces, I think they liked it.

    Staying at the motel next door for my dad's surgery. Possibly the best Mongolian beef/fried rice I've ever had and my mom loved her chicken fried chicken. Will definitely come back if I'm in Dallas again!

    Food is good but up charge is unreal. Nickel and diming for everything. Good place but billing is pretty inconsistent.

    If you're looking for a restaurant where the atmosphere is just as enjoyable as the food, San…read moreMartín is absolutely worth a visit. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful everything is. The décor is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. And yes...those are real trees. That actually matters to me. I love restaurants with a beautiful aesthetic because it makes the whole experience feel special. Good food is wonderful, but good food in a beautiful space? That's even better. The menu is perfect if you're dining with friends because there are so many things to share. We ordered the traditional sampler, and it was such a fun way to try several Guatemalan dishes. Every plate that came out looked fresh, colorful, and made with care. The cheese pupusa was delicious, and the cotija cheese was the perfect finishing touch. Then there were the plantains. I actually stopped our server to ask, "Do y'all make the plantains from scratch?" They do. And it shows. They were fresh, perfectly cooked, and so good that I kept reaching for another one. Honestly, they may have been my favorite thing on the table. The steak was cooked exactly medium, had a great char, and was full of flavor. Portions were generous across the board, which is always a win because leftovers are basically tomorrow's gift to yourself. The spinach artichoke dip surprised me. If you're someone who genuinely loves spinach, you'll probably be very happy because spinach definitely got top billing in that relationship. It tasted incredibly fresh, and it made me realize I apparently prefer my artichokes to be just a little more competitive. The service was warm and welcoming all evening. I ordered a red sangria that never quite found its way to the table, but honestly, by the end of the meal I was so full that my stomach had already voted "maybe next time." One of my favorite parts of the evening was learning more about San Martín's history. Knowing it began in Guatemala and is especially known for its bakery and breakfast immediately put breakfast on my "I need to come back for this" list. By the end of the meal, we were full, happy, and already talking about what we'd order next time. That's usually the sign of a restaurant I'll happily recommend. Beautiful atmosphere. Fresh food. Generous portions. Outstanding plantains. I'd give San Martín a solid 9 out of 10, and I'm already looking forward to coming back.

    I absolutely LOVE San Martin and I honestly do not know why I have yet to come back sooner!…read more I recently popped back into San martin after not being there for a while, and OMG! I was instantly reminded why it is such a Dallas GEM! I did not pop in to eat this time, but to find a nice spot to work with a friend on our laptops and yap over a coffee! And while we weren't planning to do much, the experience was still a 10/10! I ended up ordering a White Chocolate latte and it was AMAZING! You can tell they actually put time and effort into their coffee and lattes! Everything is also brewed fresh! Which I love! My friend ordered a artesian hot chocolate and wow! It was probably some of the best hot chocolate I have ever had! It was def made with real cocoa! We did end up splurging on some pastries, because DUH! It's it so hard to ignore the bakery section when it is so stunning and filled with beautiful baked goods! I got a oreo croissant and tortuga concha! I did not eat them (My bf did) but they looked so great! I did try my friends banana custard filled bread and that was great! I would go back for it! Overall, we ended up sitting inside of their beautiful space for hours, just talking and catching up! It was amazing and comfy! We def want to return for some of their dinner and drink specials too! Highly recommend!

I ordered the Pork Ba, Pickled Smashed Cucumbers, Pan-Fried Chicken & Mushroom Dumplings, Pork Bao Zi, and Peach Dessert Dumplings. The Pickled Smashed Cucumbers with the sweet and spicy chili dressing were a nice start, but the Pan-Fried Chicken & Mushroom Dumplings were fairly unremarkable. They weren't bad, but they reminded me of gyoza I've had at many other restaurants and didn't particularly stand out. The Pork Bao Zi had one of the better fillings of the meal. The pork itself was flavorful and delicious, but the bao bun was very plain and lacked enough flavor to complement the filling. I was especially interested in trying the Peach Dessert Dumplings because they sounded so unique. They were definitely an interesting treat, but ultimately fell a little short for me. The peach filling tasted more like preserves or jam than a fresh fruit-based filling, which made them sweeter and less balanced than I expected. The restaurant itself has a modern, clean, open interior and a casual atmosphere. One thing worth mentioning is that it was fairly warm inside, probably around 78°F. It wasn't unbearable for me, but with North Texas temperatures easily reaching 100°F+, some diners may find the dining room warmer than comfortable. Parking is also somewhat limited, so keep that in mind during busier times. Overall, I'm glad I tried Hello Dumpling, especially after seeing it on *Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives*. There were some enjoyable flavors and creative ideas, but based on this visit, the food didn't quite live up to the expectations I had from the TV feature. I'd give it a solid 3 stars and will go back to try some fresh noodle entrees.

I'd say the sushi was so fresh so delicious served so beautiful & friendly staff. . beautiful restaurant, I've been before but did not have their sushi and I am really happy that this was my choice for today.. I tried the lobster roll, which was incredible. Both the lobster roll with fried pieces of lobster serve with it and two dipping sauces. That were incredible separately but amazing when you double dipped and I am definitely a double dipper. I also had salmon NigirI and snow crab Nigiri. Which were both so flavorful so well prepared I wish I would've had more hunger to have another order of each, but unfortunately, the two glasses of iced tea took up that space and I have to say they take your tea. They refill it with ice tea and fresh lemon I am always impressed by that. They have and outdoor seating. I chose to sit at the sushi bar, which was a great plan and I definitely will be doing this again. I suggest you try it and see how much you enjoy. They have Chinese Thai food and Japanese food an incredible Japanese whiskey menu and a lovely wine list.
