With over 150 stores including Macy's, Dillard's, Sears, and Burlington Coat Factory, as well as popular specialty shops like American Eagle Outfitters and Victoria's Secret, the mall offers a wide range of shopping options.

It makes you think what old miles used to be the old fashion.It makes you appreciate not less technology and definitely recommended. Definitely they should have security.

Just a heads up if you're going to see a movie here, go to the entrance by Firestone and NOT the Irving banquet halls side, as pictured in this review. This mall is a never ending maze and you will NOT make it to your movie in time! 😂
Quiet, limited shops and mostly inclined towards jewelry shops! Very limited or I can say no brand outlets here!
A decent place to go to. Less shops than anticipated but still had quite a few options. Wouldn't say top 5, but definitely would visit again.
The stores themselves are great, but the mall's overall atmosphere feels a bit off. It's not particularly lively or vibrant. Maybe they could work on creating a more energetic and inviting environment to enhance the shopping experience.
Irving is a beautiful and decent mall with a great choice of shops inside it.
It has a great collection of shoes, garment and etc.
It is not expensive and you will not get high end outlets like Chanel, Zara, armani.
It has mid range brands also It has Burlington for Best shopping.
On ground floor it has beautiful gym and kid activity zone.
Washrooms are good, parking is free for 3 hours.
Back room vibes. The Aeropostale had some good deals. Just a creepy experience all in all. The mall is dead and I honestly don’t know how anybody shops here. How do they stay in business?
One of the biggest reasons I never end up buying anything in this mall is because no one will turn on the AC. The mall itself is too warm and some of those little stores are like 90 degrees. I can't stay in any of the stores long enough to try anything on. Please turn on the AC, this is Texas, it's hot.

Fantastic dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, well-prepared, and reasonably priced. The service was top-notch, with attentive and professional staff making sure everything was perfect.
There was a minor issue during our visit, but the manager handled it immediately with professionalism and genuine care, ensuring we still had a great time. Their commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out.

We got there 30mins before closing and they still gave us grade A service and the food and drinks were amazing if you don’t believe go try it but until then take a look at the amazing meals prepared for us. Ribs ( meat was falling off the bone) but the salmon meal took the cake it was delicious. We don’t eat food this good in California so until next time keep our seats warm because we are definitely coming back!!!
I will start with the bad.1 visit All of the food didn't come out hot. But the food was delicious. We ordered the meatloaf with mash potatoes and gravy, with broccoli. Also ordered the 12 ounce ribeye. It was okay. The rice was good. The baked potato was the best. The are heavy handed with the mixed drinks, which is a good thing!! The service and atmosphere was great as well. We will def come back for sure! This afternoon, second visit, we ordered cod fish with fries and the cod fish sandwich! Everything came out hot and fresh! It was amazing. The tartar sauce tastes homemade and delicious! Prices are great!
We had the worst experience.
1) the atmosphere was nice & place was clean
2) the young server kept calling me "babe"/"sweetheart" and given i understand its a nice thing to do.. I had to ask the server to stop bc it felt weird coming from a younger person
3) the steak was asked to be cooked to a medium & it came out rare
4) the steak was taken back & cooked to a medium rare
-- we didnt ask for it to be corrected bc it was already cooked incorrectly twice
5) the smoke on the wing was good but flavors were limited
6)parking is shared with other businesses so it can be a little challenging
This was rough for a 1st time visit here
Solid Grill. No complaints about the food but it didn't blow me away either, it was just solid. The presentation was great and the vibes were solid. I would recommend this place for a casual family dinner.
Menu has something for everyone. Good selection of beers. Service was very good and attentive. Definitely will go back to try other items as everyone liked their meal.
Tried this place out for dinner after trying to find a place that had grilled salmon. The salmon is pretty good and so was the fried pickles. The Caesar salad was just ok. There is a lot of things on the menu that sounded good so we will be back.
Wow, everything was very good. Everyone loved their meal, and the appetizers were great. Prices were very decent as well. I absolutely recommend this place, and I will go back. I visit Dallas about four times a year.
09-17-25 - Back again for some good food and cold draft beer. Loved it once again. Service was great as well. New pix below.
06-20-2025 - Returned for another good meal. This time, I had chicken, fried steak, and a couple IPAs. The food was good, but the bartenders didn't know how to wipe down a bar.

Peruvian restaurant
El Tesoro del Inca is a casual eatery in Peru that offers complimentary WiFi and specializes in meat and rice dishes. The menu predominantly features meats and rice, accompanied by live music for entertainment. Visitors can expect a warm welcome from the owner, who provides excellent service. The restaurant is highly recommended for its authentic Peruvian cuisine and reasonable prices. However, some patrons have noted that the chaufa rice may not meet their expectations.
This place is where you get hit with flavor, sound, and love—all in one sitting.
Huge portions, real Peruvian taste, and lightning-fast service. Lorena (I think that was her name?) took care of us with the warmest smile—I love her. Music and overall noise are loud, but honestly, that’s part of the vibe. It feels like you’ve been dropped straight into Lima. Come hungry, leave happy (and maybe a little in love).

El Tesoro del Inca offers a genuine taste of Peru—both in food and atmosphere. The place was packed with Peruvians, which speaks to its authenticity, and the live music by a Peruvian singer added a festive touch. They also have a small grocery section with Peruvian candies, spices, hot sauces, and even meat, which was a fun surprise.
We got the Trio Marino, which came with ceviche and seafood rice—both were really good. The mixed fried rice with chicken, beef, shrimp, rice, and noodles was also a hit. The papa rellena was just okay, but the flavorful hot sauces made up for it. Overall, the food was solid and packed with flavor, even if the ambience was a bit too chaotic.
The space is cramped, with tables placed so close together that it’s hard to move around. It was extremely loud, to the point of being overwhelming—I left with a bit of a headache. Service was very slow, likely because they’re understaffed for how busy it gets. The food was definitely good, but the overall experience felt chaotic. I’m torn—loved the cultural vibe and music, but the noise and lack of space made it hard to enjoy.
I had such a great experience at El Tesoro del Inca! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. Everything tasted homemade and full of flavor. We tried several dishes: the chicken noodle soup, causa limeña, pollo a la brasa with fries and salad, yuca frita with dipping sauces, and the lomo saltado. Every plate was amazing, but the lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa were standouts.
The portions are generous, the sauces are on point, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. The owner was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, which made the meal even better.
If you’re looking for authentic Peruvian food in the DFW area, this place is a gem. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Amazing authentic Peruvian food. We ordered the arroz con mariscos and seco de cabrito and were impressed by the quality and taste as well as the generous portions for the price. The maracuya and chicha morada drinks were delicious as well. They stock plenty of Peruvian grocery items as well. Friendly service and will definitely return.
First of all, the food was GREAT! But, the service… I have never felt better served than how I was treated here, service is ESPECTACULAR! I am Peruvian and never leave 5 star reviews unless it really deserves it. Great food, service and prices. We came as a group of 22 people and they easily accommodated us and we didn’t have any issues splitting the checks. Everyone without exception was very kind and helpful.
100% recommended and will come back again whenever I visit Texas.
Amazon Peruvian food. I recommend the Leche de Tigre and the Seco de Cabrito. If you order these two dishes, it is enough to share for two people, and still take a little home. Also get a pitcher of the Chicha Morada. I promise this is the best combo! Enjoy. 😉 btw, the owner is really nice and loads you up with Peruvian candy before you leave. 😊
I love the vibe of the place. Food not cheap, but portions are huge. I really enjoyed my food. Great customer service.
8/10 food was served hot and quickly. Excellent staff, would recommend.

Restaurant
Empa Mundo, also known as World of Empanadas, is a casual counter-service restaurant in Irving that has been serving up delicious empanadas since 2010. Owned and operated by Argentinian expat Raul Gordon, this eatery offers a concise menu featuring 13 empanada options with flavors ranging from classic Latin American to American-influenced recipes like cheesesteak and Texas brisket.
This is the best empanada place in Texas. The customer service is excellent. The empanadas are delicious and savory every bite. Anytime that we have visitors come to DFW, we take them to this place and they always want more. You can’t go wrong with any of them, but my favorite is the brisket and the chicken flavored one. For dessert, you cannot forget to get a guava flavored one.

I wanted to like this place so bad but sadly I won't be back. I'll start with the good. Service friendly & fast. Moving on.... sewage scent when you first walk in. I thought I'd like it based on the review score but it was just ok to me. I'm not their target audience as Keith Lee says. Lol And based on the reviews, I'm sure they'll continue to have plenty of business. I however, wish I could've gotten my money back honestly. The French fries were not salted but still oddly very bland. Even without salt typically French fries have a fried potato taste. These didn't. They were tasteless. The strawberry cheesecake emp had an slight fishy taste. I don't know if that's because they use the same grease as everything else but it just tasted odd. I didn't like the alfajor or pineapple cookies ...too dry and hard for my liking and the Texas twinkie and brisket ones were just ok. She confused my Texas twinkie for the strawberry cheesecake so there was powdered sugar on it and nothing on the actual strawberry cheesecake one. I feel like they charge too much for what you get but most places have to do that these days because of inflation so I get it but twenty bucks for four of these that I would consider snack size is just too much to me.
The food here is an absolute must try if you live in Dallas, and if you're lucky enough to have a long layover while you're traveling through town, you have to make this a stop. it seems like such a small, out of the way place, but there is love in this food.
I am so lucky to live as close to the shop as I do. I come in all the time and it's been my mission to try everything on the menu at least once. I swear I get a new favorite almost every time I go in. Mimi is absolutely wonderful, she'll remember your name and everything about you and loves to take the time to come out and chat in between orders if she can.
Amazing service. The lady working was so kind and helpful. It's always great to shares laughs at a great business like this. Incredible food and each empanada is worth trying. I can't recommend this place enough
Insanely good. Best I’ve ever had. The guava cheese for dessert was 💯 and the chimichurri sauce is a must for the savory empanadas.
I love this place. It hasn’t changed one bit in the last 10 yrs I’ve been going here. The empanadas are authentic and so is their chimichurri. My favorites are the Criollo and the Chipotle chicken.
Fantastic food destination!
A must go!
Wonderful made empanadas, fresh ingredients, crispy exterior, yummy!
Super organized menu and love the wipeable pencil concept.
I went in there with great expectations. Needless to say they were shot down! The empanadas cost was 4.89 for one and it was very small and fries had no seasoning on them at all. One time customer that’s it!

This place is amazing and one worth supporting and keeping alive! The rolls are amazing and trust me we are sushi enthusiasts! Our entire family of 3 people ate and drank tea plus their amazing boba tea and all that we were at $50 for our entire dinner. I would be coming here again for sure.
Andy N — Google review
hooooooooooooooooooly cow.
this is not sushi - it's mushy.
had the baked salmon roll - ewwww never again. tasted like they took walmart frozen salmon and "baked" it - might have even been microwaved.
tried to redeem it with their other rolls like the salmon roll - ewww noooo the salmon looked fresh but tasted old.
i won't be coming back and if you're trying to find sushi, don't do it here. spend thrice the price elsewhere if you have to.
if you're thinking to come for the soups - I had the chicken udon a separate time and I was not a fan. the broth had sugar and the chicken looked like stuff i'd give my dog. it was not appetizing nor well presented.
The food is tasty and well-prepared, definitely worth trying. Service is decent, though nothing extraordinary. The restaurant itself is quite small, with limited seating, and unfortunately there’s no outdoor or patio option. On the plus side, parking is very convenient since it’s located in a strip mall with plenty of free spaces.
Great dinner here last Friday evening. They were busy but got all our food out very quickly! Everything was great. I recommend the Monster Roll- delicious! Also, their hand rolls are really good and come with a cool presentation.
I love this place and I will keep coming back! I always love to get the special with ramen and sushi! I forgot to take pictures of the sushi but it is always so fresh and delicious!
They also have broccoli that you can get as an appetizer and it is so yummy and crunchy. My whole group loved it.
This place is pretty small and seating is limited. Prices are pretty good and everything we’ve had there has been yummy!
Maki Boy is everything you want in a simple Asian meal. The portions are huge, the food is excellent, and the entire place smells awesome! The fried rice dishes might need a pinch of salt or msg, but the textures, flavors, and oils are wonderful. The spicy pork might be the best thing on the menu. Tofu costs $3 extra as of November 2023, but there are vegetarian dishes even without tofu. Service is pretty lacking but that's their business model. You have to order at the front, then find a table in a very small area, and a cook will bring out your food. Nobody will ever check how you're doing minus water refills. That aside, it's an excellent place and I'd eat here any time!
Great food and atmosphere. Prices are great and show how good sushi doesn't need a ridiculous price tag. Had to go back a couple of days later to make sure it was not a fluke. Nope, it was good then, too. Florida and Texas roll are a must try!
I got the combination fried rice, Florida roll, and the tofu chicken soup. They were all amazing!! Absolutely filled with flavor. The Florida roll was creamy and delicious. The tofu chicken soup came boiling 🥵 but it was so good! I also got a mini chicken bowl for my lil sister. The prices are amazing! Especially with everything being so expensive these days!

We were staying at Wyndham DFW Airport just one block away because flight was delayed and had to rebook our flight and stay here late at night, tired and hungry. This place say they serve 24 hours so we considered walking at 00:30 just to find out that they only attend customer at the drove thru (car required). Plenty of people were in the same situation than us, we easily could full all the tables inside but we just receive a No answer. So walkers don’t waste your time.
Order was simple, but they managed to screw it up. Does this look like a Bacon & Swiss Buttery Smashed Jack to you? Complete garbage. The guy taking my order in the drive-thru was rude and was clearly impatient with me while I was trying to tell him my order. That’s probably why the order was screwed up. Doesn’t know how to listen. When I got to the window, he looked like he’d rather be cleaning toilets at a Taco Bell. If you don’t like your job, find a new one. This isn’t the first time my fiancé and I have received incorrect orders. We tried to call and no one up there would answer the phone. I can promise you now we won’t be returning to this location again. Whoever was working the drive-thru around 7:45 PM on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, thanks for nothing.
I missed this place from my hometown. It was just bad. The soda machine was out of most flavors. Chicken strips were not great. Plus I asked for Frank's red hot sauce and ranch and had to pay for 1 of the sauces. Just avoid all together
Usually a staple to satisfy a late-night craving.
First, I think this should be reclassified as "regular speed" food. 30-minutes in the drive-thru only to be told that the first thing I ordered is unavailable. Fine, I order something else, only to be told that they are out of soft drinks, too. I pulled away... the McDonald's next door was equally as busy, but they weren't short on the menu and I was in and out in 15 minutes.
Just my thoughts here, but I think that when you run out of food and drinks, you should just turn off the lights and go home.
This was the worst experience i've ever had. The door was locked and waited for the girl in charge to open the door. Then once inside she lock the door with me and 2 other people inside. 4 other customers were turned away. These pictures I took of the women in charge and the store street address. I told her i was going to call the police if she didn't let me out.
I came inside and placed my order. Paid for extra cheese was charged for extra cheese…. Where the rest of my cheese and no one is answering the phone.
Make sure yall check your order because they are ripping people off!
The lady at the drive thru sep 24 wensday around 1:30is very ugly rude and unprofessional behavior consider changing staff almost theft lying to me about the jr bacon cheese burgers only sold in combos seriously do better wow I can’t believe that lazy disgusting person I had to go to n beltline road location
And online if u order u can purchase them without a combo just wow

Chick-fil-A is a popular fast-food chain known for its chicken sandwiches, nuggets, salads, and sides. The establishment has a reputation for prompt order fulfillment and exceptional customer service. The staff is consistently friendly and professional with outstanding manners. While the food quality is consistently good, there may be occasional issues with missing items in orders. Despite this minor setback, Chick-fil-A remains a beloved destination for those seeking a quick fast food fix.
Fresh, Fresh, Fresh 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Their chick n minis are so fresh. It’s truly breathtaking. The only discrepancy was when I went to pay with a $100.00 bill and they stated they cannot take it, due to they have been received counterfeit bills. That was disappointing, lucky I had another form of payment. I spoke to Sara, and she did advise me her General Manager started that Monday. “In Store Policy” I haven’t got around to email Ryan but I will be doing so… let’s not punish hard working individuals for the foolish mistakes of others. I still give 5 stars because the food is Top Notch. From Alabama to Georgia 🇬🇪. Chefs kiss 😘

🍗Solid experience all around. I have seen a few reviews talking about how bad it gets, but my own was pretty nice.
Quick and efficient staff and some delicious standard food- quality control was not bad
The fries were a little lacking compared to most chick fil a establishments, but nothing too crazy 🍟
I feel like being a little bit hard on this Chick-fil-A because Chick-fil-A has such a good reputation in my mind. My salad was old, and my bread on my sandwich was cold and crumbly, which made it seem old. I couldn’t eat it all because it was not fresh. You can’t tell by the picture, but the chicken on the sandwich was super flat and I’ve never seen one like that before . The employee that brought our food seemed pretty crabby. I felt like the employee named Josh represented the Chick-fil-A brand and was professional friendly.
* thank you for your response cfa
New pretzel sandwich was a let down. Terrible presentation. Just didn't taste like i thought it would. It didn't come with any sauce on it and the bun is way too small for the peice of chicken. A waffle fry almost covered the bun.
Service is everything. In all reality in my opinion Chick-fil-A is not the best but the experience is everything today after having a bad experience I will not be back to another. I see why people lose it in places and people in customer service should be very careful how they treat others. What goes around comes around and what goes up will come down. I am also in customer service and I’m very careful how i respond to my customers. As a manager that’s my piece of advice. You do not know what kind of day people are having or how feel. Just be aware and be kind.
True to the brand, this location goes above and beyond in service and deliciousness.
Today they went over the top when the manager came out and asked me if anything was wrong when he saw me with my hood up and when I told him my van was running hot, he offered to grab me a gallon of water! 2 minutes later he brings out a full gallon jug and we're back on the road with the engine down to temp.
Come and enjoy the pure experience of dining at a privately owned company run by real people. No one else can touch it.
Overall good spot till you get to customer service. The workers were nice but customer support not very much, straight up hung up on me. Food is pretty good though.
When someone orders 3 sandwiches and 30 nuggets probably best to give them more than 6 sauces. I asked for 2 types and got 3 of each. Way to be cheap.

Guests can marvel as chefs create onion volcanoes and toss shrimp through the air—there's never a dull moment!
Really enjoyed my time. The cook was on point all of the food was great. Our servers Ken and KD were very accommodating. The manager was excellent and exemplified great customer service. I tried the Shrimp tempura which was good. The Black Pepper teriyaki wings and they were by far my favorite item on the menu. I also had the Benihana long island ice tea which was a little too much on the sour side, bit was great.i also had another frozen drink but can't remember the name, but it was good as well.

I want to start by saying our chef was absolutely amazing. If you are able to request a particular chef's section, then I recommend Marcos (not sure of spelling). He had entertainment, jokes, personality, and food was wonderful. He turned what started to be an unfavorable first-time experience to a positive one.
The reason for the 3-star rating was due to the reservation process. I read prior reviews and hoped they got this all sorted out, especially since we didn't go on a special weekend. We had a reservation at 8:15 and arrived at 8:07 to check-in. We didn't get seated until 9. Once we were seated, we didn't get our drink order taken until 9:20. We finished dinner at 10:40. This is ridiculous for it to take that long to get seated and have drink order taken. I hope they fix this...still on the fence about going back. Marcos, you rock! Thanks for a fun time.
For my first time going it was a great experience. I do wish the server assigned would have explained how everything went as far as with ordering and the menu. She just went straight In to taking our orders. I think it was rather busy for her. The cook was fantastic it was definitely a show. I would go back just to see Gerardo! Overall I would definitely go again.
I recently visited Benihana for the first time and unfortunately had a less than satisfactory experience. Our reservation was at 8:30 PM, but we arrived at 8:35 PM. Despite being only five minutes late, we had to wait an additional 20 minutes to be seated. Once seated, our waitress promptly took our drink order, and we were ready to place our meal orders. However, it took 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive.
The chef, Pedro, arrived at 9:30 PM, and many of us had ordered the special hibachi. Unfortunately, none of us received our soups or salads. Pedro, visibly embarrassed, apologized, and informed us that our waitress had not checked on us at all. He even went to the kitchen to inquire about the missing items. He offered to wait until we received our soups and salads, but we all agreed that he should begin cooking. Despite these issues, Pedro did a great job and was very efficient.
To make matters worse, when we received our bill, we realized we hadn't been served dessert. I approached the host area and asked to speak with a manager. Unfortunately, the manager's response was less than professional—he rolled his eyes when I explained the issues we experienced. He only asked who our server was, and after we mentioned our waitress, Vive, he did not offer an apology or attempt to resolve the situation.
Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the service and the lack of attention to our concerns. I will not be returning to this Benihana and would not recommend it to others.
Chef Lu was awesome and cared about food allergies. Staff was nice, but the server was too overloaded. Didn't get the full attention we usually get here. I feel like they need less hostesses and more wait staff. Was a little annoyed that we had a reservation for 7 and didn't get fully sat and ready for the chef for an hour. But the food obviously makes up for it. Biggest complaint is the parking situation. They really, really need to expand the parking lot. Not enough spaces at all. Overall a good experience.
Visited last night Saturday 10-11-25. Table is meant for 9, they crowded us with 11. The hibachi chef was not entertaining or engaging. We had 4 kids at our table and they had to ask him questions and try to get him engaged. We will never be back. If you just want overpriced under portioned food with zero entertainment then feel free to go and waste your money. We mentioned to the bar tender and the manager that our visit was not going very well. They did absolutely nothing about it. We paid $300 for a party of 4. Told the manager that our chef was acting like someone had just died. The Manager sucks royally. Thank you for not doing your job!!
The food was good, the show given was definitely not what I expected it to be, usually is more interaction and activity going on. Also the chef seemed to had forgotten our order we all didn’t want veggies but 1 person and we were about to get veggies when I stopped him, and we usually get double rice since we didn’t get veggies he didn’t serve us double rice, and we had to ask for yum yum sauce when everytime I’ve been here or to any hibachi spot that’s one sauce they never miss to offer us and this time the chef said we can only get one sauce any extra sauce will be charged .80 cents which is crazy but hey maybe things and rules have changed in these past 5 months.
Had a business dinner at Benihana in Irving, and it exceeded expectations.
Our chef was fantastic, lively, skilled, and added just the right amount of humor while cooking. The fried rice and steak combo was perfectly done, and the shrimp appetizer was a hit at the table. Service was smooth and professional, and the atmosphere had a great balance of energy and class, perfect for a team meal. Everyone left full, entertained, and already talking about coming back for the next business outing.

Day 2
Northwest side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the northwest side side of town. Start the day off with Toyota Music Factory, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Mandalay Canal Walk at Las Colinas. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Located in the vibrant Las Colinas neighborhood of Irving, Texas, the Toyota Music Factory is a premier entertainment destination that opened its doors with a ZZ Top concert. This expansive complex features a 210,000-square-foot space housing various dining and retail options, including the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and a bowling alley. The centerpiece of the venue is the Pavilion, an indoor music theater with 4,000 seats that can expand onto a spacious lawn for additional seating.
This is an awesome venue. The seating was plentiful and we could see clearly from where we were at. We were about 20th row back.
The acoustics are great. We went to see Nashville Tribute along with some other small artists, and I tell you, this venue is great.
Obviously there's always issues with the restrooms, so sneak in there during the actual performance 😁 or be creative on when to go.
The check-in process was fairly quick and that was good. I appreciate it the way they were respectful of searching our bags and going through the metal detectors.
Overall, I like this location. I've never been before but I will go again.

The positives
We sat in the VIP section, which was really nice and very expensive. The waiter for our section was great, and it was a great luxury to have him there. Parking was expensive but worth the cost. The sound was great, and all seats have a clear view of the stage.
The negatives
When the back doors are open to include the lawn seats, it gets hot inside. This probably would have been okay if they had turned on those big fans above the crowd. I can understand not wanting to run the air-conditioning just yet, but people were complaining about sweating. The only water available is 7 dollars a can, so that's probably why they let you swelter a bunch.
The artist we saw didn't play very many hits, but that's not the music factories fault.
All in all, it was a good night but very expensive.
Beautiful! My husband and I went to see Alabama Shakes and we stayed in the lawn. I do recommend getting there about an hour before the show starts if you want a good lawn spot!
My only niche was the price point on the drinks, it was $25-$36 (after tip) for each drink we purchased. One was a souvenir cup so that could also explain one price point.
Also bring a blanket! And triple check your bag size, i had an unique pea shaped fanny pack that was the correct size but because of the details on the outside, they almost made me toss it.
I’ve been to a few concerts here and getting a lawn ticket isn’t bad! You are able to bring your own blanket to have a space to sit, stand, or dance around while still being able to hear the performers and see the concert. 🎶
The drink vendors are all nearby and there’s multiple available bathrooms if you need to go. The food and parking pricing is as expected for concerts and stadium pricing, so plan accordingly!
Getting into the venue was fairly organized as well!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Toyota Music Factory in Irving is such a great venue! This was my second time visiting, and both experiences were top notch. The first time, I came out to see Chris Rock, and this time I went for a concert with Eladio Carrión – both shows were amazing! The sound system is booming, the atmosphere is lively, and there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
The whole setup makes it easy to enjoy a night out, from the great food and bar options nearby to the energy of the crowd inside. Definitely one of my favorite spots in DFW for live entertainment. I’ll be coming back again and again!
This is a great concert venue that doesn't have a bad seat. Even if you sit on the lawn you will be comfortable and still enjoy yourself. I will definitely return in the near future. The drink prices are reasonable as well. Parking was convenient but pricey of course.
Attended a concert there. Sat on the lawn and was pleased. We had to rent chairs since we weren’t allowed to bring them. The website said you could t bring blankets but many people did. The drinks were expensive and food options were very basic. Overall, this is a great concert venue.
Although very similar in style, this is the preferred concert venue for me. Far better than Dalld Fair Park. Parking is far easier. A lot of nice dining options nearby. Amenities are better. Music sounds amazing here. Like anywhere, drinks, food, and merch are far over priced.

Conference center
Event planner
The Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas is a modern and innovative venue for meetings and events. It boasts almost 100,000 square feet of space for exhibits and gatherings, with unique architecture and interior finishes that set it apart in the marketplace. The facility features friendly staff, ample parking, and clean surroundings with hand sanitizer available throughout. In addition to hosting various types of events, the convention center has also had guest speakers.
I attended the Experior Factor Convention in Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas, Dallas Texas. Very nice and beautiful place. Cleaned enormous environment and great service. Love the food and hospitality extended to our team in the Hotel was beyond amazing. Staff were so friendly and helpful to our team. Great place to be and the convention center was bigger enough to accommodate all the guests. I’m recommending to someone who needs bigger space for their convention meeting. Probably will be back next time for more space conventions meeting.

Attentive staff, nice facilities, very clean. Large area nicely proportioned for events. Complimentary cold water was a nice touch.
NOT HANDICAPPED FRIENDLY...
While the facility itself is nice enough every time I've been there they block off the handicapped parking. I watched a man with one leg and a walker have to go across the unlevel parking garage to his car with great effort when there was 10 empty handicapped parking spots open at ground level. They did allow an electric car in to that area to park and charge so I guess the discrimination is only for handicapped and not EV owners....
The convention center is good, but the concert I attended recently by a singer was not a good experience. He kept all of the people waiting for almost 2 hours. The show is set to start at 7:30 pm, people waited till 9:30 pm and yet the singer didn’t show up. No seating. But the show ended at right time 11:30 pm 🤣. Good experience for not visit again😅. If the convention center hall have proper seating that would be great.
Great venue for big meetings. Everything is always clean and well done. As many times as I have been here, the staff are always really great! Well done venue with both escalators and elevators. The Westin next door is also a very nice hotel, rooms well appointed and always clean. Great spot for guests to stay with the convention center a quick walk across the side street.
An absolutely gorgeous building and amazingly incredible staff was there this weekend for the Texas Frightmare Weekend Con as a guest assistant and had a great time and accommodated by the staff with all our request.
August 2025 Update:
Went for a conference and I can appreciate the convention staff who made sure our friends were safe.
The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I also liked how all our venues were within walking distance.
I'm glad I got to come back here.

This is a great place with a lot of space as well as parking. There were a few restaurants close by and there are also hotels nearby.
There are 4 storeys that are easily accessible by elevators and escalators. The restrooms are nice and clean, however they were very small, smaller than other convention centers. I always wish convention center restrooms were bigger. At least there were two other restrooms on the same floor.
Overall, good place, the event workers were good and it was clean.
This is a nice convention center. Good layout and easy to navigate. We were there for a FanExpo and had a great time.

Restaurant
Cork & Pig Tavern Las Colinas is a laid-back gastropub that offers wood-fired pizza, American cuisine, and an extensive selection of wines in a modern setting. Situated at Irving Water Street, it provides a great dining option amidst the lush greenery of Lake Carolyn. The area also offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as romantic gondola rides on Mandalay Canals and stand-up paddleboarding with Stand Up Paddle North Texas.
This is another great place in the Los Colinas Canal area. Fantastic service. Our waiter was great. He provided the perfect amount of attention. We started with the truffle fries. They were perfection in a potato. I'm so sad all of the previous potatoes I've partaken in were not these fries. They were that good. And their sauces for the fries were so delicious. I could eat that spicy sauce on everything. The burgers were huge. The Mac and cheese was fantastic. I had the fish tacos. They were just right for me, but if you like a lot of food, they will not be enough for you. It's three "street" tacos and a side. I had the beets. They were nice. It was a mix of the red beets and pink beets. They had lots of brunch drink choices. They have a nice patio space as well. It was a fun time.
Sunshine — Google review
This is literally my favorite restaurants in Las Colinas! I go ALL of the time, and everything is always perfect! I highly recommend the crab cake salad, it’s my go-to! One of my favorite things about Cork & Pig, besides the incredible food, is their amazing service and hospitality! Hala is SOOOOOOOO sweet and amazing, and she always makes me feel seen and welcome. When I’m there, they make me feel like a celebrity, and I love that!
We chose this location because we had tickets for a play nearby. Two of us ordered the coconut mojitos and they were great. I am still searching for the Bounty coconut rum from St Lucia. My wife ordered the prime rib sandwich and it was a good choice. My pork chop was also very good. They have a huge outside patio area that got pretty full by the time we were heading out. The interior is very modern and looks inviting. If we are ever back in this area we would definitely stop back. They also have a nice happy hour selection that ends at 6:00 pm.
Our highly anticipated ladies' night got off to a rocky start. We had a patio reservation made well in advance, but the initial experience with the hostess was disappointing. She was unfriendly and a bit passive-aggressive when we inquired about our table—honestly, the worst part of our visit. We were initially seated at the only available table, which was unfortunately blazing in the direct sun.
The Turnaround: Phenomenal Service and Delicious Food
Thankfully, once we were able to switch to a shaded table, the evening became wonderful. Our server, Nick, was phenomenal! He was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, patient with our requests, and proactively ensured we were aware of any potential food allergens for our table. He truly saved the experience.
For my main course, I had the salmon with blue crab and lemon butter topping, which was served after an extremely fresh and tasty garden salad. While the salmon was delicious, it was just slightly overcooked for my personal liking. Everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate cake and beignets for dessert.
Conclusion
I would definitely return, especially if Nick is our server. Despite the rocky beginning with the hostess and seating, the quality of the food and Nick's exceptional service made for a fantastic ladies' night out.
Cierra was our AMAZING amazing waitress and helped make our group corporate lunch feel super special. We celebrated two of our team members birthdays and she was wonderful in surprising them at the end.
The food was bigger portions than we thought and we were thoroughly surprised! Leftovers heck yes! Taste of the food was great too!
Spinach and artichoke dip was good- chips kind of too salty for me but still the dip yummm
The truffle pizza was great but I would recommend folks to ask for arugula on the side so that you can add as needed
And the truffle fires were bomb! Super tasty and flavorful and I liked dipping in the spicy mayo
the rustic and airy vibe struck a nice balance between relaxed and upscale. The outdoor patio is great for people-watching or dining with friends.
Deviled eggs were creamy, tangy, and perfectly balanced — a must-order
Try their wood fired pizza and pork ribs.
The atmosphere and servers made me feel welcome, and dessert was just the cherry on top. Try their key lime.
Cocktail are must try too - the buzz and seventh were good
Let’s me start by saying my server Matthew was phenomenal! His energy was great from start to finish! I came here for brunch on a Sunday. I ordered the brunch pizza and it was very flavorful. Everything was fresh; you can tell it’s locally sourced I really appreciated that. The crust 10/10 so buttery, however I don’t think I’d order it again but I’d come back and get the regular pizza.
Large portion sizes, great atmosphere, and good food! Menu is on the smaller side which is nice because it means the food is fresh, cocktails are refreshing and they have a patio for when the weathers nice.

Monuments & Statues
The Mustangs of Las Colinas Sculpture and Museum is a breathtaking tribute to the spirit of wild mustangs, featuring an impressive outdoor installation of nine bronze horses that seem to leap through water. This remarkable equestrian sculpture is one of the largest in the world and truly shines at night when illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere in Williams Square Plaza. Adjacent to this stunning artwork is a museum that showcases exhibits about the artist and includes a captivating film.
This whole little “park” area is super cool, with a variety of restaurants and fountains all around. I made my girls go see the mustangs b/c they are so iconic. I remember when Las Colinas first was built and these statues were a big deal! Great area to just sit and chill - especially on a nice evening.
Christie — Google review
The Mustangs of Las Colinas is truly a breathtaking landmark! The bronze sculptures are massive and beautifully detailed, capturing the energy and motion of the wild mustangs as if they’re galloping right through the water. It’s one of those rare places where art, history, and nature all come together perfectly.
The plaza is peaceful, with plenty of spots to sit, reflect, and take photos. At night, the lighting gives the statues a dramatic effect that’s just as stunning as during the day. Parking nearby is easy, and it’s centrally located in the Las Colinas area, making it a quick and worthwhile stop whether you’re visiting or local.
Highly recommend stopping here. It’s a free, unique Texas experience that leaves a lasting impression!
We went specifically to see this sculpture and it's incredible. Not some rusting, abstract art piece that looks like a post-apocalyptic building, but real art that inspires.
The larger than life equestrian herd is frozen in time as they ran through a body of water. The splashes of their hooves continue to move and every muscle and expression is evident. Take your time and walk around to see the entire scene from each angle. It's incredible.
It’s refreshing to walk along the horses in a clean and safe place. Reminds me a little of Singapore.
stunning bronze sculpture of nine wild mustangs—about 1.5 times life size—galloping through a shallow watercourse in Williams Square Plaza, Las Colinas, Irving. Created by African wildlife sculptor Robert Glen, it was commissioned in 1976 and installed in 1984 as the centerpiece of this urban‑center development
Beautiful sculptures. Makes me glad horses aren't THAT large; they would be terrifying, yet majestic. Beautiful!
We got there after hours but got to see the mustang sculptures, which is the main thing we wanted to see. It was 105F and we had the sculptures to ourselves. I suppose some people play in the water, but we weren't sure, so we didn't.
We drove by this place and couldn't resist stopping to explore. The statues are impressive, with their large and beautiful forms, and the water features create the illusion that they are truly crossing a river. I highly recommend checking them out.

The Mandalay Canal Walk at Las Colinas is a delightful escape that transports you to a European-inspired setting right in Texas. Stroll along the charming cobblestone paths lined with serene waterways, where you can enjoy the soothing sounds of waterfalls and even take a gondola ride for an unforgettable experience. As you wander, you'll discover an array of inviting restaurants perfect for grabbing a bite or sipping on something refreshing.
A beautiful, quiet, and clean place in the heart of the city, with free entry.
The promenade is ideal for walking and enjoying the view of the water, trees, and beautiful buildings.
There are many great restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops along the river. The area is always clean and well-maintained, and boat and kayak tours are available.

Be sure not to accidentally park in the parking garage that charges you a day rate instead of by hour.
$20 for the day when we were there for 1 hour.
There is free parking on the street. You will be walking anyways so it’s okay to park anywhere along the canal.
It’s a beautiful walk and worth a stop.
The gondolas seem so relaxing and look amazing!
It was wonderous to see the Canal Walk lit up! I can see why evening strolls are so popular! It was a little hard to find. There was even music playing. I didn't think the gondola would be up and running in the dark, but it was also lit up! The shops are grand. I bet the view from the restaurants overlooking the water is breathtaking! The waterfall was even lit up. We didn't even cover a fraction of the distance, but we had a lot of fun!
This is the place to hangout with friends, very calm and quiet place.
The Mandalay Canal Walk at Las Colinas is such a beautiful and peaceful escape right in the middle of the city. The cobblestone walkways, charming bridges, and tranquil canal views make it feel like you’ve stepped into a little slice of Europe. It’s perfect for a relaxing stroll, a romantic date, or even just a quiet moment to enjoy the scenery.
You’ll find plenty of great restaurants and cafes, ice cream stores along the water, and the area is always clean and well-maintained. The gondola rides are a unique touch and make the experience even more special. Whether you go during the day or at sunset, the atmosphere is calm, scenic, and simply lovely.
If you’re in the Irving/Las Colinas area, this spot is definitely worth a visit!
Well what is there to say..... not much because everything was closed lol. Drove out here because I saw all the vibrant pictures and people. Got there and huge disappointment. Wasted time for a place that could be beautiful. Nothing to see, everything was dirty and so much graffiti. Sad. Assume this is the work of the pandemic. Won't be returning for outdated, underwhelming stuff like this. Sorry Las Colinas.
The area is centered around a charming, European-inspired canal with cobblestone paths, vine-covered bridges, and waterfalls, making it a peaceful and highly photogenic spot for a stroll, especially in the evening when the lights come on. For activities, you can enjoy waterfront dining at one of the surrounding restaurants, or take a truly unique private gondola ride (often complete with a singing gondolier and dinner) along the canals and Lake Carolyn, which also offers rentals for paddleboards and kayaks if you prefer to propel yourself!
I truly enjoyed the dynamic duo that provided Live Entertainment on Wednesday afternoon. Their musical selections and variety was excellent 👌 from upbeat temp to laid back and chill! The staff hosting was friendly and the hospitality was genuine. The variety of pizza served from pepperoni, vegan and even a 🍪 dessert pizza! There were also meatballs that I didn't get to sample. I give this event a 10! I'm glad the weather cooperated. I had an enjoyable afternoon.
Beautiful area to walk around and perfect for photos! While there are not a lot of restaurants on the canal walk, we saw a gondola ride in session along with swan themed paddle boats to rent and kayaks? to rent too. There is a small parking lot near the canal to park at before walking down the steps to the walkway.

American restaurant
Kitchen 101 is a woodsy-chic counter-service restaurant located in Las Colinas at the Toyota Music Factory complex. It offers a variety of never-frozen whole foods, including popular dishes like pizzas, spit-roasted meat, street tacos, and banana pudding sugar tacos. The menu has a wide selection of homemade comfort food and breakfast options. Visitors praise the delicious food and great service, with some mentioning specific dishes like the power bowl with chicken, kale dip, and Elote.
Incredible spot! The moment you walk in you can smell meats on the grill which was a warm welcome. Menu variety is great and honestly price points on their food are pretty killer. I got the Mediterranean bowl with chicken and it was really good, chicken was not dry, veggies were fresh and crisp. The teas are great, had the hibiscus tea and absolutely loved it. My wife got the breakfast sandwich and my son had the pizza. Both of them really loved their food as well!. Can't wait to be back!
Edward V — Google review
This was different, but a good different. A few Mediterranean food items. Healthy choices. The oil that comes with the chicken skewers was tasty. The side salad was yummy. The atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend it. I would love to try their gyro. I plan to visit again.
We really enjoyed coming here for brunch!! The service was great and the food and drinks came out super fast. Everything was freshly made and delicious. My husband said they could do to season the food more, but I enjoyed my Breakfast Bowl. I would definitely come back because they have a huge menu with a variety of different entrées.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kitchen 101, and I can confidently say it's one of the best culinary experiences I've had in a long time! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The decor is charming, with a perfect blend of modern and cozy touches.
The menu is diverse, offering a fantastic selection of dishes that cater to various tastes. I opted for the grilled chicken tacos, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My friends tried the Macnchees and Burger, and they talked about how delicious it was.
What really stood out to me was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations without being intrusive. It's clear that the staff genuinely cares about creating a memorable dining experience for their guests.
Overall, Kitchen 101 exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to return. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!
There is a great menu here at this location. I ordered the Green Curry bowl with vegetables. Once my food came out, I noticed that it was chicken instead of vegetables. I have a dietary restriction so I kindly let them know, I ordered vegetables. My second plate comes out and I am satisfied that it’s the vegetables that I initially ordered. However, as I am finishing my plate, I bite into a piece of chicken. This is particularly frustrating because I already sent back a plate with chicken on it. If I ordered my meal with vegetables, I should NOT have chicken ANYWHERE in my plate. The food was good, just be sure to TRIPLE check that you’re getting exactly what you ordered (which should be the standard).
I had the chopped brisket sandwich with onion rings and coleslaw. Onion rings were phenomenal! Coleslaw had a nice twist with red onion. Chopped brisket was good. Could have used some more seasoning and some sauce. I don't know if they carried BBQ sauce (thats on me) but the bun it was on was perfectly soft!
Atmosphere was very cute but not sure if there was suppose to be a hole in the ceiling where water was dripping from. Maybe they're going for the "industrial" look. Staff was super friendly, bathrooms were kept clean. Parking was a nightmare, not sure why they made the area like that with minimal parking. Walked two blocks to get to our destination. Recommend walking later in the night and not mid day in this Texas summer sun.
The Keto steak is amazing! I was in this area for training for 2 days and went here for lunch the first day. After enjoying it so much I ended up going back here for lunch the second day and got the exact same thing. It was soooo good. I wished I lived near this place.
Breakfast tacos were amazing. Food arrived super quick. Very reasonably priced.

Michael V — Google review
The food was really good. Has a very good variety of unique items in the menu. Has live Indian classical music. However the service was really bad and the place isn't clean as per restaurant standards. They missed serving our drinks and made us wait for very long to get our food and the check. I think take-away might be a better option for this place since I'd love to try the different items in the menu but not deal with their sub standard service.
I came here for the lunch buffet last March. Certainly not the largest selection of buffet items I've ever had, but it suffices. I'd say the meat quality is a bit higher here than what I've experienced at some other Indian buffets in the past.
The place technically opens at 11am but they weren't really ready to serve until 11:15am. They should probably change their hours given that I doubt many people come in at 11am. The place was pretty dead but this was Monday morning before noon. BTW, a previous review complained about the quality of food on Monday's buffet and I didn't experience any quality issues.
Service is good. Parking can be validated. Walking to the restaurant from the garage is a bit of a hassle but that's just the nature of this dated structure (either u go down stairs to the canal and back up stairs and then back down stairs to the restaurant, or you walk through the vehicle entrance to the parking garage).
I won't say that this place wowed me but it wasn't bad and I would certainly recommend others try it out.
Great food with amazing flavor and spiced to perfection. Friendly and hospitable staff. Atmosphere was quiet and elegant. My wife and I really enjoyed our anniversary dinner. The only criticism was my wife's chicken was a little undercooked with a weird texture but they rectified the mishap.
This is my review of all the things I like in a restaurant
Food quality- 5/5. I have not had better tasting food in Dallas area. It felt like all the food was made fresh (which explains slightly longer waiting time but I am perfectly OK with that- all good things take time.)
Service- 5/5.
Place- not bad, I have seen better restaurants but they charge 5-10 times more. 5/5 after all is said and done.
Location-ease of parking etc. 5/5.
Prices- Reasonable in my opinion!
All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant!
We love coming here! This is the best Indian cuisine I have had since living in England, and our favorite restaurant in Dallas. The food is always phenomenal and the customer service is awesome. Amit, the owner and head chef, is incredibly talented. Every recommendation he has made has been spot on. If you are adventurous, let him suggest a dish... you won't be disappointed!
Great Indian food. Spacious interior with fitting decor. Customer service is a little weird. Employees are knowledgeable of the menu, constantly refilling water, but unable to bring the main course in a timely fashion. Last time I went there, my group and I were a little bored after a while of having to wait for our food. Would go back for the food, not so much for the service.
One of the best Indian food places in Irving, which has some tough competition. The flavors seem much more authentic that most other Dallas competitors. Food service is usually fast, though can slow a bit during busy times. The quality and consistency of the meals are great, with only a small handful of occasions where the spice levels are considerably above or below normal. Ample parking is generally available via the street or nearby lot. The mood is very dark (It is physically underground), so great for a romantic dinner but perhaps not the best to set a lively festive mood. Overall, highly recommended!

Coffee shop
Pax & Beneficia Coffee is a unique coffee shop in Dallas that serves both drip and pour over coffee. They also have delicious sweet and savory bites to accompany your drink. The cafe is located in the Las Colinas area of Irving, Texas.
Pax & Beneficia Coffee has such good vibes the moment you walk in—modern, bright, and welcoming, with plenty of cozy seating to relax or get some work done. The staff are friendly and the overall atmosphere feels calm yet energetic, making it a great spot to hang out.
I tried a few different drinks, and one of my absolute favorites was the hibiscus tea—beautifully presented, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Their mocha was also rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, definitely a must-try if you’re into coffee.
They also offer a good variety of specialty drinks, teas, and retail coffee bags if you want to take some home.
⭐ Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking to explore different coffee places around town. Whether you’re in the mood for something classic like a mocha or want to switch it up with teas like hibiscus, Pax & Beneficia won’t disappoint!

Despite its location, which may be perceived as somewhat monotonous, the coffee shop offers an exceptional experience. The coffee is delectable, and the service is phenomenal. However, a more inviting atmosphere with additional decor would enhance the overall relaxing ambiance.
We ordered the avocado toast which took around 20 mins to arrive at around noon. After all the wait, it turned out to be pretty disappointing. The toast was one slice half toasted and with a pretty mediocre paste of avocado. The toast was pretty tasteless. The passion fruit cold brew was decent but the cold foam was thick and it took a long time for the foam to actually melt. Lot of board games to play and ample space.
Perfect Coffee Spot with Great Vibes & Games!
Pax & Beneficia never disappoints! The coffee here is phenomenal—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. I ordered a cortado and it was spot on, served beautifully on a wooden tray with a side of water. Every detail feels intentional and well-crafted.
Service was quick and super friendly. The baristas are knowledgeable and clearly care about what they’re doing.
Atmosphere is clean, modern, and super cozy. One of my favorite parts? They have an awesome collection of board games and plenty of comfy seating to relax and play. Whether you’re here to chill, catch up with friends, or get work done, it’s the perfect place.
Highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates quality coffee, good vibes, and a little fun on the side!
📍Must-try: Cortado
🎲 Bonus: Best board games + great hangout seating
Great signature drinks. I got the Spanish latte iced which tastes very good. Creamy and flavorful . My best friend got zahr latte iced which is his go to. My fiancé got a caramel latte which she liked a lot. Additionally their food is halal which I can’t wait to try next time. Definitely check this place out as these guys support other coffee shops and establishments with their unique beans. Also their playlist had us nodding our heads. Can’t wait to be back at pax in Dallas.
I was intimidated before coming here because I thought it would be too fancy and snooty, but that wasn't the case at all (in a good way!). The staff were so nice and even though I'm not a huge fan of hot coffee (I love cold brew), I decided to try the Turkish coffee and it was amazing! Not overly bitter and not ridiculously hot to where I had to wait forever to cool off. It is genuinely some of the best coffee I've ever had!
Great place to have an amazing coffee. Love the location and love the coffee. More than that the employees are very friendly and have a great smile in them. I will definitely going back.
This place is so cute and vibrant. There will be a line but the barista are so friendly and knowledgeable. Have a seat, take in the aroma and don't forget to try the almond croissant!

Blaze Brazilian Steakhouse is a family-owned restaurant in Irving, TX that offers an authentic Brazilian dining experience with a modern twist. The restaurant features fire-roasted skewered beef, lamb, pork, and poultry along with a massive salad bar. It's a kid-friendly place where children aged 5 and younger can enjoy free gluten-free meals. Guests can choose between the Dinner Salads & Sides Experience and the Full Dinner Experience, with the option to add on lobster tails for an extra treat.
Daniela was amazing and sweet. Very attentive. I didn’t feel rushed and she was super patient. If you’ve never been to a Brazilian Steakhouse the servers in the red shirts seem to be a little overwhelming, but they’re just making sure you really enjoy the experience and enjoy every dish. This restaurant experience was one of the best of my life.

This is a beautiful restaurant. They offer Happy Hour in which the drinks are phenomenal! Most places make drinks look wonderful but are watered down. Not the case at Blaze!!! The meat offerings were well seasoned and delicious. My favorite cut was the leg of lamb. Also the spicy sirloin was amazing. The sides were just okay. However, they do offer real mashed potatoes which I loved. Don't leave without dessert. My suggestion is the carrot cake.
We came in for lunch with a group of 12. We started off with some 10 salads and 7 meats. Even the salads are served at the table. And it was just $32. Amazing deal for the meat portions we ate. The dinner has more meat options and is pricier. I think I will just recommend lunch.
Great selection and exceptional service. All of the sides and meats had great flavors. Really enjoyed them serving the sides and not having a buffet style.
My friend and I had such a great experience here. We elected to do the salad and sides experience only, and were pleasantly surprised. Not only was the food good, but the service was also amazing. I’d like to specifically praise Julio and Damien for their service last night. They made sure we were good very frequently. And they were really nice young men. We also loved the R & B set played by the DJ. The whole experience was a great and unexpected vibe! We sang, ate, and enjoyed our ourselves!
Impromptu dinner with my cousin was amazing.
Free Valet!
No Wait!
Great Food!
And... Sebastián provided amazing service!
I'll definitely be back 🙌🏾
We were in town for a wedding. A family member made reservations for this place (10 of us) and I am delighted that that did. Food was soooo good & this was before they started bringing out all the meats. The buffet items filled me up & were absolutely delicious 😋. The hot buffet had a little meat too. The salad bar was to die for. Place is pricey, but that's to be expected. My bill for 1 person was $83 with dessert & 20% tip all in. I gladly paid. Our group had a wonderful time.
Very good! Was with in walking distance of my hotel and was pleasantly surprised. Meat and cheese bread was first rate and the pineapple was the bomb.
Great customer service our waitress was attentive. All of the red meats were well done, which was fine I prefer medium rare. The meat was seasoned. I was not a big fan of the cheese bread the outside was dry and hard.
Went there for lunch what a great experience the wait staff Vanessa and the Gaucho Adrian were fantastic ... they went above and beyond . ..the food was wonderful and it wasn't crowded at all.

The Ranch at Las Colinas offers a unique dining experience with American cuisine infused with a Texas flair. The restaurant features live music and a vibrant bar scene, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a ranch. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, including farm-raised Texas beef and flavorful starters like mini elk tacos. The restaurant takes pride in its fork-to-table philosophy, using locally sourced ingredients for their dishes, from beef and seafood to wines and breads.
Wow. Just wow!
Hands down the best Mexican and American food I’ve had in years — no exaggeration. I can confidently say it’s the best Mexican food in the Dallas area.
We went for lunch and ordered several dishes from the menu. Everything was perfect — fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The quality and taste here surpass any other restaurant in Dallas.
Highlights from our meal:
• Low & Slow Chicken over Rice – My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked.
• Margarita Flatbread – So tasty and scrumptious! The portion size is huge — definitely sharable.
• Whiskey Bread Pudding – Rich, moist, not overly sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth good.
• Onion Rings – Crispy, golden, and a must-try.
If you’re in the area and love great food, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Went on a date with my husband. Very nice atmosphere. It’s the sister chain of Haywire in Plano. Our server was amazing, we did get there before closing but never did anyone make us feel rushed and the server always took her time with us. She was awesome. She explained the menu explained all the options. What was the best on the menu and very thorough she knew what she was talking about food was 10 out of 10 that drinks were 10 out of 10. The atmosphere was a 10 out of 10 definitely would be back.
Had a business dinner at the Ranch with a couple colleagues. First time the Ranch. Very big steakhouse. Lots of room inside and outside. We had to wait only a couple of minutes at 6pm on a Monday night. We sat outside which was nice but was disappointed with the shaggy artificial turf. I had their mixed bowl topped with steak. The steak was really chewy and I didn’t enjoy the bowl either as it was very dressed up. Not worth the price.
What an incredible representation of Dallas with elevated comfort food with a focus on Texas-style plates and steaks. This is a home-run of an operation. The western decor was prominently featured throughout the facility. Multiple dining rooms and space for private dining groups. It was clear that they set and maintain high standards here. Everyone on the staff was professional and hospitable. When in Dallas, this spot should be on your list.
This place is absolutely fantastic. This is my third visit and I've tried something different each time. Their menu is well thought out with a variety of savory and hearty options to choose from.
I had the steak on my first visit and they got that medium rare right. The steak was juicy, tender, flavorful and fresh. The redfish came highly recommended from the server on my second visit and it was on point. The generous portion of crab meat and shrimp were plenty. The chicken fried steak was another favorite on my third visit. It was lightly breaded and served with fresh green beans and mash potatoes. That jalapeno cream gravy hit home though.
This place is lively, fun and the service is always impeccable. I am looking forward to returning.
Every time I visit Dallas, I try to stop for lunch or dinner at The Ranch. My go-to favorite used to be the Cadillac Burger, but it was taken off the menu a while ago. These days, I usually order the American Burger with a side of mac and cheese. The restaurant is spacious, but I recommend making a reservation for dinner or weekend brunch. The chocolate chipotle cake is still good, though I miss when it had a stronger chipotle kick in the aftertaste.
Go here. I did and loved it. A friend of mine was here prior so we went on his recommendation.
Advice = reservations. We didn’t but we’re lucky enough to ask about the outdoor seating which was quicker and was fine. Inside was beautiful. I got my usual NY Strip and it was great. I added the garlic and a type of pepper to my steak and it added a nice touch of just a little heat. Added on grilled 🍤 that were great. The tallow fries were ok.
My friend got the pork belly for an appetizer for us and they were good.
He loved his ribs and salad.
Definitely a place to bring a planned group.

What happened, this place used to be pretty good. We went for my daughter's birthday and wished we never went.
Took over an hour to get our food for the four of us and we kept seeing people being seated and then leaving so we finally asked and the waiter went to go check. Magically the food was ready. But there was a problem. The two steaks were cold and so was the chicken. I guess the waiter forgot it or something. So we told the waiter and he went to i guess a lady mgr.
She offered to make new ones but we did not have the time to wait any longer.
Then she offered some kinda dessert and we declined. They ended up comping one steak and we paid for the rest. We asked for a to go box. I figured since I was paying for it I might as well take it home for our dog.
What a disappointment.

Andalous Mediterranean Grill is a casual restaurant which serves up a variety of Mediterranean dishes. They have an extensive menu which includes appetizers, dips, salads, falafel, pitas, sandwiches, kabobs, beef, lamb, chicken and more. They also have a pet-friendly patio for Fido to enjoy his meal with you. The couscous salad was my favorite dish and the pita was delicious as well.
The lamb dishes at Andalous are a standout. The tender and juicy lamb, infused with aromatic spices, is a true delight. The accompanying sides, such as the fluffy rice and crisp pita bread, complement the main course perfectly. While the food is generally delicious, there have been occasional instances
where the quality has been inconsistent.

Didn't have a single star.
We went there yesterday to enjoy our buffet, thinking the cost is 16.99$ per person on weekdays like advertised on some instagram reels.
When we asked the receptionist whether we need to pay upfront, she told we can do it later.
There is no display which shows the cost of buffet anywhere around.
Once we started filling our plates, the dishes were placed in such a way that we can reach only one of them, when we asked whether we can come over the other side to reach the far dishes, the staff were like NO.
When we said we want to try them they would just swap with the nearer ones, replacing the near ones to far from reach. I don't understand whether they want us to have only one of them.
Some dishes were already empty like the samosas. When asked they were not refilled and said we're done for the day. How come, we paid for everything right.
When we were about to sit down and eat, the staff member aks us to pay first.
To my surprise the price was 29$ for one person including taxes. When asked she mentioned it's special buffet for Ramadan which we weren't aware of at all.
No display of buffet price or change in price when we entered and asked. The price changed suddenly when we filled our plates and set to eat.
With no choice left we spent double the amount for such a distasteful food which we didn't like at all.
And the dessert part it's one Baklava for one person🙄. Why did we even come to this restaurant at all. We regret it a lot now.
There are many better options out there. Please don't waste your time and money to set to eat at this cafeteria style buffet place.
Excellent! From the service to the food, everything was great. Between the 3 of us we had falafel, spinach hummus, couscous, tabouleh, Andalou' chicken, gyro, chicken shwarma, baklava, rice, potatoes. Everything was so full of flavor and fresh. Absolutely the best spinach hummus I've ever had. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Can't wait to go back.
Best Mediterranean restaurant in the area. I love their lamb shank and the vegetarian combo. The place is clean and great Middle East music makes it feel peaceful.
Oh my god. Genuinely one of the best meals of my life. I might come back tomorrow!
Everything is very fresh and beautifully prepared!
I was traveling for work otherwise I would eat here every other day.
An amazing first experience! Food is amazingly authentic and fresh. Customer service is over the top. Who would have know I could get white glove service so close to home. My new favorite Mediterranean spot for sure! 10 out of 10!
Clean location, and fresh tasty food. Plenty of different options for dishes and sides. Outstanding customer service 👏 Awesome music, and a fantastic atmosphere!
The food was really good. I wish they explained how to order, it was a bit confusing at first.

Sam Houston Trail Park is a stunning 22-mile greenbelt that runs alongside the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. It's part of the larger Campion trail system and offers paved pathways for walking, biking, rollerblading, and running. The park features lush trees and some residential areas along with deserted stretches. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful surroundings on well-maintained trails with occasional benches for resting.
Amazing bike trails, I love coming here! Great spot to get some nature time in and cruise on your bike or just to pull out your camera for some quick photography. Has a few decent spots for r/c cars or r/c planes. Clean and safe.

I walk fairly slow and it took me about an hour to go on this trail. It's very petty! I really enjoyed my time here. The tree coverage is great, you barely notice that you're in the middle of suburbia
Great for walking, jogging, biking, and even rollerblading. It’s also a restful place for photography or just being outdoors.
3.2-mile paved trail segment of the Campion Trail system runs along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in Irving—easy to walk, cycle, or jog. User-Friendly & Easygoing
Rated as easy, flat, and well-maintained. One end-to-end loop is about 1.3 miles (3,000 steps)—perfect for a relaxed stroll.
My first time here was to participate in a 5k. The scenery was nice and the park was clean.
Nice place to walk. Trails are paved, wide and clean. Metal blue painted benches on the side at different spots on the trails and in the park. River is not viewable from the Riverside trail unlike the name implies. We get better views of the water on our way back when we decide to leave the paved trail and come via straight elevated path/trail that was not paved.
Love this place! I get here early to go for a run before work. Never crowded - even in the summer months. Total loop from the parking lot is around 8 miles, but it can go further as the park is connected to campion trail. Highly recommend!
This place is absolutely gorgeous!
I had no idea such a natural, green and untouched area even existed in the DFW area!
It’s a pretty nice long trail surrounded by lush trees. Some of it even goes through some residential areas but then some of it goes through totally deserted areas also
Word of caution: don’t go too late after sunset because it can get dark and scary. You’ll see some people around but not too many, so better to be safe than sorry. Do go around sunset though because the views are pretty
Lots of wild animals too! See the ducks in the puddle below.
Not pictured: a tiny red snake that was right by the pavement! We don’t think it was venomous but also don’t go out into the grass and weeds! You won’t have any idea about the ticks, snakes or other critters down there!
Beautiful fall evening the weather was great

We love the environment at this park, we are able to walk under the trees that provide shade while enjoying the natural bird habitat of few different species. Kids look very happy in the play ground or playing outdoor basketball. Is amazing for the whole family.
Safe park for all of your activities! Look out for the occasional rule breakers biking there! And remember you’re sharing a space with the ducks and birds, which may require you to slow down as they gracefully cross the path! Be blessed and know Jesus is Lord! Accept Him!
A peaceful and well-kept park, perfect for walks, picnics, or just relaxing in nature.
Nice trail ... nice playground for the tots...basically right in the residents' back yard.. we spent most of the time dodging duck poop. There some renovations going on and I don't think the rec center is open. Since it's the season of winter, they close the restrooms also. No waterfalls at all, but there's leaves and trash where the mini falls would be. Maybe we will be able to see something during the summer! There's also a splash park.
This is my favorite park in all of north Texas. The city of Irving really takes care of its parks. Lots of loud children and people walking with their animals in a wonderful family environment. 😊 As any park that's totally cared for.
A nice park and spalsh pad. The lake near the park has geese, ducks, and turtles that are super friendly and love bread. The park is safe and relatively clean. They have a Sandy area for working out that kids use as a sand box which is fun. They have grills we used for a cook out. Just had to bring coals, tin foil (the grill tops are yucky) and a lighter. The splash pad was pretty crowded but the park had less people. The lake and waterfall are beautiful to look at. The bridges are well kept and fun to cross. Overall a nice park. The bathrooms were dirty and paper was thrown everywhere so that's the only downside really.
Currently undergoing construction but the park is amazing for photography . I loved the way it's maintained. There are ducks and cranes along the park. Easy to spot and feed. It's a long walk Incase you want to explore the complete park.

One customer even commended the pizza artist named Corbin for his excellent recommendations and attention to detail. He ensured that the cauliflower crust was enjoyable, and skillfully chopped the toppings to avoid chunkiness.

And I hope Pie Five sees this because I have to give a MAJOR shout out to the pizza artist Corbin! He took his time and made the greatest recommendations and assured me that the cauliflower crust would be good and it WAS. And I loved how he chopped the toppings for me so I wouldn’t have a chunky pizza!
My pizza was loaded with:

- banana peppers
- bell peppers
- red onion

The pizza was actually quite good! They had a promotional event happening—buy one, get one free. I even got to build my own pizza, and it turned out really tasty. I have no complaints and might go again. Cheers!🍕🍕🍕
I found the restaurant to be dirty, both the dining room and the bathroom. Had to wait to be greeted and place my order. Food was fine, nothing exceptional.
Pizza was good, but the staff didn’t know how to make the signature pizzas. Had to help read off the ingredients on the cheap sheet for him.
Arrived 45 minutes before close, able to order pizzas, but couldn’t order bread sticks or get fountain drinks. Kind of disappointing to know that after they had already put our pizzas into the oven.
Also it seems like they are closing the dining room early to avoid cleaning. We were only given the option for takeout.
Food was good, but item availability and the experience could have been better.
PS The vomit outside was a nice feature…
09/11/25: this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The plastic fork broke in my mouth. Please change your plastic ware. Note, your food is excellent and your staff is good.
Visit last month: What the Fork! 2 plastic forks broke on me! When the Pizza is too hot to touch, I cut the pizza using a fork and knife. The forks that are here explode and break when working with hot pizza. In fact I'm still looking for a fourth prong; hopefully it's not in the pizza. The plastic knives are pretty sturdy though , thank you! As for the pizza, fantastic taste and fast service with a smile.**** Please change the forks. This is a safety hazard.
The pizza was great!! That's where it ends. The restroom was on its last leg, the toilet had pee ALL over it, no seat covers, hardly any running water, and had to rig the soap to come out. EVERY table was dirty and had trash on it except 3. The floor was dirty, trash was piled up at the trash bin, and it was overflowing. There were only two workers in the establishment, and one was extremely bland. She seemed like she didn't want to be there and had no personality. The gentleman was nice and very courteous. No salad was available except Italian, and it looked like it had been sitting out for a while even though they advertise different salads. The atmosphere was dead... no music, no life, not inviting at all. It was very depressing and sad. This was definitely a one and done for me.
Visited 5/28/22 made my own pizza
Cauliflower crust extra $3.00 w/pepperoni and spinach. First time eating there and it was Delicious! We were the only people in there even better. Pizzas are sizes personal(medium size 6 slices,) or large.
They have vegan & keto options. Customer service was good, no issues.
Let me just say that this pizza place is one of the best go to spots in the area. Hear me out. When they say it's unlimited toppings they do honor that. I was told that I broke the local record of toppings and it was money well spent. The manager there congratulated me for breaking the record and staff were very friendly as well. I did feel very bad for the guy making my order and I tipped him because I wanted to compensate him for the troubles. They are very gluten free and they have a variety of cheeses such as ricotta, cheddar, vegan cheese. They do have impossible meatballs which is a plus as gluten free eater and they do in fact have a lot of vegetables. They have ranch on hand if you request it. I bit into my pizza and wow it was stretchy and gooey and mouthwatering goodness that after took into that first bite I thought I died and went to heaven but I didn't want to go heaven yet because I wanted to finish eating my pizza. Let me just finish saying that after I was done ordering my pizza it was a leaning tower of pizza. I'm definitely coming back again. Hope everyone has a great day/evening.

After 20 minutes I decided to cut our losses and cancel our order for a refund for which I was not able to in the app. I had to go inside and ask how to do so only for the employees AND night shift manager Megan to say they had no idea how to give me my refund. Megan gave me a ton of attitude and finally had to call in their store manager Charles to give me my refund which I thought to be ridiculous and wasted even more of our time. Why have a manager when they are completely useless? A pretty terrible experience specially with a crying newborn and being hungry. A 5 minute trip turned into a 1 hour trip is never a good sign. The worst part, I was there for an hour and not once was I offered anything for my trouble and the store manager didn’t even care to know the details when he cashed. He just processed my refund and that was that.
Anyways, never going back even though their food is great when we actually do get it.
Service was very prompt, courteous, and friendly. It was odd that there was no outside service, just an inside dining room. The food came out quickly and done correctly! The payments system NEEDS updated (I had to swipe my chip card). All of the employees that I came into contact with were very nice! Overall, nice experience and I'll be back!
Absolutely horrendous service sat at the window for 10 minutes finally an employee comes up and says “did we get your payment” not hey sorry for the wait has anyone taken your payment? On top of that she talked to us like we were stupid, then shoves our food bags at us Incredibly disrespectful. Need training on customer service. Will not be coming back to this location. If I could rate zero I would. May want a manager on shift who knows how to handle busy peak hours because this was a pathetic excuse to make up for an extremely long drive thru time. YOU WORK IN FAST FOOD DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANGER OUT ON YOUR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE YOU ARE SHORT STAFFED.
Food was hot and fresh. Restaurant was clean. The sweet, little girl taking my order and also brought my food out was friendly, courteous and mannerly. She needs to smile, though. I was disappointed there wasn't a drive-up (I like to sit in my car) but overall, a good visit.
The change at Sonic is more efficient. The drive thru is better. Just the employees need a smile. 😁😅. I always love my 44 cherry lemonade. 🥰. Please Sonic. Don't close your doors. Just a few around. 😢
Would give 0 out of 5. Cashier did not ask us what sauces we wanted when we ordered. Then when we asked for them at the window, charged us for them. Then the cashier complained to her manager we where watching her through the drive through window. She hadn't given us our drinks and we were waiting for her to come back.
Took advantage of BOGO offer what a deal! Ordered in App online order was ready when I got there App instructed to park and record space number but no number was present got my order from drive thru courteous efficient service Thanks Sonic love your burgers

Restaurant
Hanasho Japanese Restaurant is a hidden gem that has been around for three decades, offering traditional Japanese dishes and sushi rolls. The interior features a cozy atmosphere with low lighting and a small bar at the front. The menu includes old-school favorites like chawanmushi, grated Japanese yam mixed with raw tuna, and green tea noodles.
A hidden gem. The restaurant is nestled between Auto parts shop and fast food stores. I had doubts about the reviews as I walked up to the place. But any doubts were laid to rest when we took the first bite. The sushi was delicious - the white tuna was the best. We also ordered some yellow tail sushi, Saba (grilled mackerel), the Hanasho tower, and some rolls. All of it was good. The Service is excellent. All in all, this is good quality food Japanese food at reasonable rates.

Used to love this place. Typically the fish is fresh, service is friendly, and everything is reasonably priced. My last visit was sub-par, but it was one occurrence out of many visits. The main issue was receiving a dirty (lipstick printed) wine glass. My boyfriend and I usually split some rolls, sashimi and a chicken katsu bento.
This restaurant has a nice, low light interior with a small bar at the front. I first tried the chawanmushi, which is a savoury egg custard dish with soy sauce, shrimp, and other ingredients in a nice, porcelain cup. It was tasty, but it is served piping hot so watch out for that first bite! Then I had the green tea soba, which are chilled noodles that you dip into a sauce which you add dashi and wasabi to. The green tea flavor of the cold noodles combined with the sauce make a unique taste! I enjoyed my overall experience here and will definitely return!
Was a little nervous about the quality given that it's in the middle of a strip of run-down looking shops. It's just an older area and this place was a pleasant surprise. The interior was cozy, low-lighting. It's not the best but it's nice for a date, casual or family dining. Saw all types of people. Really caters to the sushi lover with a extensive sushi menu. Also serves a variety of normal Japanese dishes. The staff is friendly and almost too attentive but it's sweet. My "go-to" at sushi places is always the Unagi. By far, the best I've tasted. All the rolls were great as well. Recommend the Yakitori as an appetizer - very tender chicken. The prices are on par with nearly every other Japanese restaurant that I've been to. This was not fast food and the quality was well worth the price.
This place is nothing short of wonderful. The atmosphere,lighting,music and kind people really transport you to Japan itself. Not once have I ever ate here and thought to myself that it was okay. The food is always delightful and delicious. You can tell that love is in the food. The owner even went out of his way to cook a special dish that wasn't on the menu just for me! My night went from 0 to 100 just by dining here. It really is a wonderful place. Arigatou!
The food was great and not expensive, which is a major plus for a sushi place. They have a wide variety of selection including several vegetarian options. The staff is polite and professional. There are two bars: a sushi bar and a regular bar, though no one was at the regular bar when we went. I will definitely go back.
The food and service was excellent. The staff is friendly and very polite. They have a lot of great sushi choices. We had fatty tuna, sea urchin, freshwater eel and the sushi delight platter. The miso soup was also really good.
Really good Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere was nice and the food was good. They offer menu options that you can't get at many other Japanese restaurants.
One suggestion... the sashimi could be cut slightly larger. We've had better serving sizes at other places.

Restaurant
Roots Southern Table is a laid-back restaurant located in Dallas, Texas, known for its contemporary dishes and accomplished chef, Tiffany Derry. The restaurant offers a rewarding celebration of southern staples with accolade-laden full-service dining. Chef Derry's specialties include the famous duck-fat fried chicken and Mother's Gumbo featuring chicken, Zummos andouille sausage, shrimp, and blue crab with a lighter roux.
We had such an amazing time here celebrating our anniversary. The food was phenomenal, the service was impeccable and it was so great to see chefs in the open as you sit at your seats. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a special dinner and with a bunch of flavor.
My only quick feedback was it was a little loud, and super cold, recommend turning down the air just a little. Parking is a bit challenging, but not impossible.

My husband and I decided to stop by on a Sunday evening and everything was amazing. Because we didn’t have reservations we were sat outside which was perfectly fine. I believe our server was Shelby and when I say she did an amazing job. She did amazing from beginning to end. Everything we tried was great but some of the portion size didn’t match up to the price, especially for the fried green tomatoes which were $20 for two tomatoes but the flavors made up for that. Also my husband wanted chicken but they only served the family portion which was pretty pricey for chicken, $56 to be exact. Being that I don’t eat chicken, I didn’t feel it was worth spending that amount. The cornbread was everything. Overall a must try experience because that’s what you are paying for.
Cool southern food restaurant. I went for my ladies sisters bday and they did a good job. We got a bunch of things to share and it was quite a good meal. The sweet potatoes were quite good, I think they could have been a little crisper but they were very good. The garlic herb butter made them super fragrant and it was probably my favorite thing. The chicken was also great, especially the thigh. The breast was kinda dry once you get past the crispy batter, but otherwise it was great. Im not a greens fan so I didn't like them. The corn was was exactly what you would expect. Unique edition was the strawberry compote on the side. The Cajun dishes we got were good but average to me. I've lived in Louisiana so im kinda spoiled when it comes to Cajun food but it definitely wasn't bad. All around a good experience, the staff was nice and attentive. Also a cool atmosphere with a all glass outdoor seating area. If i get a chance to visit again I would get the ox tail because it sounded good.
I would give 20 stars if I could! The food is downright phenomenal and you will not be disappointed.
Outstanding meal at Farmers Branch Roots! Our server Trey was absolutely phenomenal - attentive, knowledgeable, and made perfect recommendations. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Trey’s timing and service were flawless throughout the entire experience. We’ll definitely be back and will request his section again. Highly recommend!
This was our second dinner before moving to New Mexico, and this was a perfect meal to have. We have heard about Tiffany's place and that it was a must try. It is a must try.
The portions are fantastic and have a depth of flavor like none other. In case you are thinking of huge portions, change your mindset. This is a place with technique and skill put into cooking.
We had the fried tomatoe appetizer and holy crap. It was fantastic. Also, i'm not sure where they found tomatoes that large.
We had drinks, I had an old fashion. Delicious. My wife had the purple rain, and the cocktails are just fantastic.
As for food, she had the Texas Redfish, which was delicious and crusted just right. It was just a delicious cooking on the fish. I had the ravioli with crab, which is not on some of the menu's show in the photos. Finally, my wife's grandmother had the fried shrimp and grits, and it was a fun take on shrimp and grits. It was absolutely delicious and something great to try.
We did have alittle room for dessert.
As for dessert, we had the orange cake which was so different. Moist and dense, but full of flavor. I was a fan, but more impressive was the sweet potatoe creme brulee. This should or would be the ultimate fall seasonal treat to have.
Overall, I would go again, but when I'm back in Dallas. That might be a minute. I didn't mention the service and ambiance, it was perfect. The food got most of the praise :)
We have a short list of “will come back multiple times”, but this one was just added. First, if you could encapsulate my grandmother in a restaurant, this is it (except she would have judged me getting wine instead of sweet tea). The service was exceptional. Super attentive and friendly staff. Wine list was top notch. And the food… we started with the cornbread. I’ve had cornbread so many times that I really didn’t know how you could knock it out of the park with this one, but they did! We also split the peach salad which was a great, fresh Texas way to start the meal. My husband and I got two meals and split them both - I got the scallops which were melt in your mouth perfection. He got the Texas red fish which sat on this crawfish dirty rice that really transported you to that Texas/Louisiana border. Dessert was an orange cake (really delicious), but the star was surprisingly the German chocolate cake. Rich, but not too rich. Moist. Absolutely delicious. If they had peach cobbler on the menu, it would have been perfect. On the atmosphere, it was upbeat… it’s on the louder side and the tables are somewhat close (but not too close)… so depends on your likes but we were still able to carry on a conversation and hear one another just fine. Great experience. Can’t wait for our next visit.
Good experience. We had the oxtails, lamb chops, German chocolate cake, peach summer salad, and sweet potatoes. My favorite was the sweet potatoes by far. Whatever they seasoned those with will keep me coming back. The lamb and the oxtails were decent. Cake was good quality. Salad was refreshing. Service, phenomenal! Very professional, they knew recommendations based on cultural backgrounds, and very caring.
Mixed Experience — Great Drinks & Ambiance, but Overpriced Chicken
We had reservations and arrived 5 minutes early, but weren’t seated until about 10–15 minutes after our reservation time. We were also told we’d get a booth, but ended up at an uneven table that was pushed together. The waiter gave off more of a salesman vibe, when all we wanted was to relax and enjoy time with friends.
The food was okay—not bad, but not spectacular for the price. I do not recommend the fried chicken. At $54 for a 10-piece meal (without sides), it felt very overpriced, especially since you could get something similar at KFC, Popeyes, or Williams Chicken for much less. Definitely overhyped in my opinion. The Hoppin’ John’s and the Biscuits were my spouse favorite out of everything we had and tasted. I ordered a side of greens which was decent, and the hush puppies come with the greens. They call the hush puppies hot water cornbread. However, those born and raised in the south know what hot water cornbread is. I added the photos and you can see for yourself that it’s hush puppies but they call it “hot water cornbread”
On the positive side, the drink was amazing. I ordered a blackberry mojito (not listed on the menu), and the bartender kindly made it for me—thank you! My friends enjoyed their meals, especially the New Zealand chops and the Texas Redfish.
The ambiance is nice, and the location in the shopping complex is convenient. Just be aware the restaurant itself is quite small—tight and intimate in terms of space.
Food: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) – Just okay for the price; fried chicken was disappointing, though friends enjoyed their dishes.
• Atmosphere: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – Nice ambiance and location, but small, tight, and intimate space.
• Service: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) – Waiter felt pushy/salesman-like, plus a seating delay and table issue, though the bartender was accommodating with your custom drink.
👉🏾Overall: ★★★★☆ (4 out 5 stars) – A mixed but decent experience, elevated by the drinks and ambiance. Beautiful atmosphere and solid drinks, but food value and seating experience could be improved.

What a fun place! Cool bowling alley, adult video games, bars, kid games,…too much to list!! Very helpful staff and plenty of free parking. Their chicken & beef fajitas were on point! Bring your family or your buddies…you will all have fun!
First time there and had a great time with my family. I gave it 5 stars
5/29
This is our second time coming to this particular bowling alley and this time the service on the bowling alley side was horrible, the server button was pushed twice and no one ever came.
We had to flag down a server in order to put in a simple order for mozzarella sticks, and soda drinks. The server was cool at first however, through course of our time there her attitude became down right deplorable.
At 8:43pm Upon trying to leave after our game of bowling was done, I ended up taking the ticket for the food up to shoe rental section, that was the only way I was going to be able to check out. The employee literally flagged down the server Jenee in order for us to clear our balance. She walked right past me and gave the receipt and the debit card to my son vs me as she proceeded to walk over to the bar area.
The whole time giving a very distain look upon her face that she was annoyed. So I asked to speak with her manager. The shoe rental ‘employee called for a manager and Tristian came over to speak with me about the situation. I explained to him that this was my second time coming to this establishment and this my experience was very disappointing, distasteful. He stated he would pass along the information to the appropriate person. Honestly not sure if that’s true or not.
It will be a while before my family & I return
Bowling counter attendant not friendly. Bowling lanes and software nice. Balls in good shape. Bowling waiter was good and attentive. Got kicked off lanes after 1 hour without warning. Apparently you have to know how long you want to bowl up front. No warning on that. We were told we had to move. Waiter told us we could move to the restaurant so we did. No one ever waited on us there. We would have bought more drinks. It's like the place doesn't want to maximize their income, despite the high price to bowl. Doubt I would come back.
We had a party there with a group of twelve. Honestly, if it wasn't for the entertainment this would have been a 2 or 3 star review. The food was not great, and our "all you can dink package" for our team took 20+ minutes to get our order. The bowling is fun, lots of options, the arcade has a ton of great selection (although a bit pricey) and overall the atmosphere was great. The food and beverage service was pretty terrible for what we paid to be honest.
We had a very disappointing experience with management at this location. We played for a prize that was clearly displayed on the floor as being in stock. However, when we went to collect it, we were told it wasn’t available. When management was called, the manager, Raven, was extremely dismissive and showed no empathy or willingness to help. She stated there was nothing she could do because they refused to open the case, even though it was full of the exact item we wanted. Rather than trying to provide a solution, Raven seemed more concerned with being “right” than with providing good customer service. Because of this poor management and lack of basic customer care, I will never return to this location.
I had a Great time with my CoWorkers for our outing for the night. The food, atmosphere and drinks are very very good. We want to give the Bartender Lady a Great and Appreciated Thank You for you and the entire staff at your place for providing an exceptional environment to bring your family and friends. We visited on 10/02/2025 early evening time. The peach margarita on the rocks and frozen are tasty here.
Had a good time with family. We decided to just do the bowling. Bowling alley area and venue overall was nice and clean. The only thing I could complain about was it took a long time for someone to come get our drink and food order. However, we missed the feature of just ordering it on the scoring kiosk.

Nice place to see the airplanes landing and taking off. Shades, Benches and water are available at the location. You could just bring something to eat while watching the airplanes. You can actually hear the flight traffic control talks via a speaker here!
It was a lot of fun. Anyone who is an aviation enthusiast would enjoy it. I particularly enjoyed listening to ATC talking to the planes. I have an autistic son that absolutely loved it. He still talks about getting to watch the Japan Airlines taking off.
Such a perfect spot to relax and unwind! The view here is absolutely beautiful, especially during sunset. It’s so peaceful watching the sky change colors while planes take off and land in the distance. A calm and serene place where you can just sit back, enjoy the moment, and forget about everything else. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet escape with stunning views!” ✈️🌅
One of the best places to relax — especially if the weather cooperates 🙂. Watching planes land every couple of minutes is such a blissful and oddly calming experience. Kids absolutely love it, and it’s a perfect spot for a small picnic.
We have been going to Founders Plaza for over fifteen years. We took our kids when they were little and now take our grandchildren. It is very relaxing watching airplanes land and takeoff.
We have been here on 4th of July evening to watch flights landing and it’s our first time. We had a great time watching the flights land, taking off in other direction. As it’s 4th of July, we also spotted some military jets and we had lots of fun with family. It’s a pretty good place to take our parents and kids here.
Be ware that you might get gasoline smell from flights after they land which is not a major issue if you keep a good distance.
It’s a cool place to relax and watch the planes go by, arriving or departing. People bring chairs with them. However there are benches and tables on the plaza. It’s free to enter.

If you're on the hunt for a unique twist on your typical salad experience, look no further than Bread Zeppelin. This innovative Dallas-based eatery redefines lunchtime with its creative concept of serving fresh salads in a hollowed-out artisan baguette. With an impressive selection of 40 ingredients and 20 dressings to choose from, you can customize your meal to suit your taste perfectly.
I hadn’t been to Bread Zeppelin in a long time since there isn’t one near my house, so I was really excited to visit today, and I’m glad I did! The customer service was excellent. I forgot my glasses in the car and couldn’t read the menu well, but one of the ladies kindly offered to read it to me and even gave me some great suggestions. I ended up going back to get my glasses, but the fact that she was willing to help like that really stood out.
When we got to the register, the other lady reminded me about the loyalty points, which I appreciated because I almost forgot to scan from the app. The Zeppelin I ordered was delicious. All around, a great experience with friendly staff and flavorful food. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area!

Food tastes ok, however, they left out the steak from my sandwich completely after I paid extra to add it to the meal. Pretty disappointing as I didn't want a salad sandwich.
Ordered delivery from here and there were two long brown hairs in one of the salads. Could not eat it.
In the other salad, the apples were soggy, shrimp were cold and soggy. Lettuce looked wilted and had brown spots. The avocado seems to be pureed and shaken within the salad. For a 20 dollar salad I expected better ingredients, taste and presentation.
AMAZING. This is my weekly go-to spot! The staff is always incredibly friendly and quick with their service. The bread is fresh every single time, and I appreciate that when I mention I'm vegetarian, they kindly change their gloves without hesitation. It’s the small things that make a big difference. This is one meal—and one location—I’ll keep coming back to again and again!
An amazing concept that doesn’t get old at all. Healthy, tasty, easily customizable, easily portable, not as messy as some sandwiches. I wish there were more of these closer to me.
If you’ve never tried, def go out of your way to give it a shot!
Today was my first visit here and it was GREAT! I had the Washington State - the bread was delicious and the salad had a perfect balance. The salad would've been perfect on its own as well. My lunch companion had the Ceasars and shared my opinion. They do have an option to get in in "bowl." There were some people ahead who elected that, and the salad portion appears to be larger than the zeppelin.
Will definitely be back again.
The Tuscan is SO good!!! Please don’t ever remove it from the menu.
This was my first time to eat Bread Zepplin and I was really pleased! The awesome, creative name is what brought me in, and the good food (PERFECTLY toasted bread!) is what will have me come back to eat here again!
I've been to this store on North MacArthur twice now and each time I found everyone so friendly and helpful. The Manager named Allison even helped me remember my recipe of the order from my last visit. What a phenomenal idea, a French Roll with your Favorite Salad stuffed into it where its inners had been removed. Sensational!

Have stopped here a couple of times for an appetizer and drinks. The service hasn’t been the best but we love the area and the outdoor sitting. It’s a hit and miss with the parking but overall a good stop to freshen up with a good cold beer.

Fantastic brunch. The chicken egg tacos did not leave me wondering which came first--it's the tortilla! Very tasty tacos with a nice side of fruit. All of the brunch options we tried had fruit. Their waffles are wonderful. The outdoor seating was nice on the shady side. I don't know if they do a lot of brunch business. They should because it's great food. Our service started strong but then kind of faded. I think our server and the bartender were the only staff there. It was a nice, chill time.
Stopped by here to have a beer while my wife was next door getting a massage. I ended up having three different ones while there. I like the fact that they have some beers on tap that I had earlier in the year while visiting Belgium. I was quite surprised when it came time to pay my bill and it came out to be cheaper than I expected. I believe I managed to stumble upon their happy hour. I really like the vibe, it has a dive pub feel while still being upscale. I have gone back a few times since. Definitely a good place to have beers with friends.
We missed our movie at Alamo because there was a concert at Toyota and picked a place at the canal to enjoy our evening.
We weren’t dressed for anything fancy, so Ginger Man fit the occasion.
The bar was quiet and peaceful, we had a good laugh with our bartender. Overall great service and great pours. The queso was delicious.
Was delighted to see a Ginger Man when I happened to be in Irving so I stopped in. Good beer selection, friendly staff. But I have to say, I was surprised when neither of the two beers I ordered were on Happy Hour - a sign above the bar said most draft beers are $1 off. I thought, what are the odds that both are not on HH? Turns out pretty good, as when they say "most" they mean roughly 10% of their beers (9/82). It's a couple bucks, so whatever - not some amazing sale, but if the sign has said "some" beers I would have inspected the menu to see which ones. Even your standard bulk beer like Coors Light is not on that list, very weird. I'd probably go back if in Irving again, but not for the HH. 🙄
A restaurant with varied and delicious food and many types of beer. The service is excellent, the food is served quickly, and the staff are excellent and friendly.
Tried to sit down with my group of friends, but they wouldn’t even accommodate us. There were 7 of us, but we weren’t allowed to sit at a table for 5 nor 6. You’re not allowed to move the chairs when NO ONE was literally inside the restaurant. The way the guy at the bar said it was so rude and unwelcoming. We were all trying to sit down already, but we all left just because of the horrible attitude. Like it was such a hassle for them to serve us
Outstanding experience from beginning to end. Last couple of reviews said they were given the cold shoulder? Didn’t feel that at all. I think people are entitled and just like to complain….

If you find yourself in Irving, Texas, a visit to Big State Fountain Grill is an absolute must. This charming diner has been a beloved staple since 1948, offering a nostalgic atmosphere that transports you back in time with its classic red booths and inviting soda fountain. Known for its mouthwatering burgers and delightful shakes, this family-owned establishment captures the essence of traditional American dining.
I’ve lived in Irving since 1979, and I finally got around to walking into this place. Lol. What a trip down memory lane. Super good service and super good old fashion milkshakes and food. If you have never been, I highly recommend going.

Stopped in because I love a classic burger. Everything about this place was classic. Great decor and awesome service. Adreena took my order which was the strokers cheeseburger with bacon, and a chocolate and peanut butter shake. She made me one of the best shakes I’ve ever had. The burger was delicious and very filling, double meat and cheese. I could barely finish. The tots were nice and crispy, but Adreena says the fries are better. If you are in the area, I highly recommend this place. Come out and support your local businesses.
Checked out this Irving institution for dinner last night and will definitely be back for a shake and cheese fries!
Service: Friendly and familiar. You could tell a lot of the clients are regulars, but the staff treats everyone as such, creating a warm environment.
Food: Strokers Cheeseburger is my fiancé’s new favorite burger. The Rocky Burger was good, but next time I think I’ll add bacon to kick it up a notch.
We also ordered shakes and cheese fries - I think they stole the show! Love that they use Bluebell ice cream - definitely makes the shake.
Atmosphere: The place is family friendly, for sure. The I super appreciated their pictures showing Irving’s history, instead of just generic vintage items. It made the place for me.
Overall: Good food, great service, fun atmosphere! We’ll be back and hope you check it out too!
2nd time there and the food was just as good. Had blue cheese burger with bacon and fries. Bread was like a sweet bread was soft and toasted. Meat was juicyband had flavor. Fries were hot and crispy. Places was clean and almost empty. Sat right away and food came fast.
Me and my wife love using trains to get us around. I found this place looking at places to eat within walking distance around train stations. Just hop on the TRE and get off at Downtown Irving. It's just across the street. Big State takes me back. Just like the soda fountains back in the day. Great burgers! Just like you remember. Can't wait to go back!
I tell you I grew up watching this place grow and grow over the decades. I had the taco salad which was so delicious scrum delumptious . My waiter Cris was super friendly and so as well as other staff. I'll share photos
We just moved to this part of Irving and decided to try it out. This spot is super cute and the food was delicious. The shake was very good too. We will definitely have more Friday night dinner dates here. And the little store has super cute items.
Established in 1948, this place is an Irving staple. Great Burgers and scrumptious shakes made with Texas own Blue Bell Ice Cream. Creative changes coming also. Get in there!

Hamburger restaurant
Five Guys is a popular fast-food chain known for its customizable burgers, fries, and hot dogs. Customers can enjoy freshly made-to-order meals while enjoying complimentary peanuts during their wait. The entire process, from placing an order to leaving the establishment, is efficient and seamless. The dedicated and enthusiastic staff contributes to the welcoming ambiance of the restaurant. The background music is strategically kept at a low volume, creating a cozy atmosphere for patrons.
Stopped by Five Guys and it was a really good experience. It was super clean inside, quick service, and the food hit the spot. Definitely coming back.

This is great place to go. All process from order to leave the place were smooth. Staffs were passionate and diligent. It gave me cozy to stay and low volume of music seems to be very well planned. Burgers, fries and drinks are great of course needless to say.
And complimentary peanuts are #1 that I’ve ever tasted in the US restaurants. It was just like peanut butter and soft. I wonder what the secret they have to provide quality of peanuts and foods. Just thumbs up!
Very upset because I love Five Guys! But this specific time, I ordered from this location and the Cajun fries were so undercooked. To the point where I couldn’t even finish them. And that has never happened any other time I’ve had five guys! Sorry but the menu items cost too much for us not to enjoy.
The French fries are skin on and fresh made. The burger was okay for what it was, but the prices were so high. For the same price, you can get a sit-down meal at Chili's with service and better flavors.
😁 I appreciated the friendly service
The fries here are really good and served in VERY generous portions. Grilled onions are a nice touch for no upcharge. Burger was prepared with the toppings I ordered.
😥My number was called, but when I got to the counter to get it, it wasn't on the counter, and I waited a bit for someone to hand it to me. My burger was just OK. The bun was almost cold - definitely cooler than room temperature. The meat had very little flavor but had a visually appealing char. However, there were small hard bits of char that hurt my teeth when I bit into them. I had to spit them out.The lettuce on my burger was mostly the white crunchy part, hardly any green, tasted fine, but not appealing. I only got 3 very small pickles. It's been a while since I ate at Five Guys, but I "remembered" it being better than this. Maybe an off night?
I really don't like how they serve your food in a bag even if you're eating in. You basically have to dump your fries out to get to your burger and any on-the-side stuff you asked for. It's also not a fast meal. Seems pricey at $16 for a cheeseburger, small fries, and regular drink. These things are an expected part of the Five Guys experience...just not my cup of tea. Too many better burgers in this town.
Let me first start off by saying I really like five guys. I love the burgers and especially I love the fries now this particularly location the guy doing the fries. Anyone knows that when you order Cajun fries you do still put salt on the fries and not just Cajun. This particular person did not season the fries with salt only with Cajun and now the fries I have are bland Don’t taste good at all. I have to go home and put salt on my fries. Safe to say I will not be back at this location. I will be back at five guys, but this location no sir
Five Guys is absolutely delish. Burgers are great with my favorite toppings, and fries are always yummy. Expensive, yes. But it's a great way to share a meal on a special occasion. And who knew you could get a strawberry cherry Dr. Pepper as a fountain drink? It was amazing!
This is the saddest cup of fries I’ve ever seen. No bag fries either which is what I’m used to when going to Five Guys. Very disappointing.

Seafood restaurant
Pacific Table in Irving, Texas offers an eclectic mix of Pacific Northwest cuisine, featuring oysters, sushi, grilled steaks, and weekend brunch. The restaurant is known for its traditional sushi recipes, excellent sandwiches, yummy steaks, and refreshing salads that capture the essence of Pacific Northwest flavors. Located at the Water Street development on Lake Carolyn, the restaurant provides a beautiful waterside patio with stunning views.
So glad we came here for dinner. Service was top notch! The food is beautiful and the flavors are amazing and I would say fairly original. That salmon dip was an unexpectedly amazing experience. Definitely give it a try. This restaurant has a great atmosphere and decor, so it's a good option for business, dates, or celebrations. There is plenty of variation in seating arrangements and styles, including outdoor seating. Check it out!
Blake M — Google review
I always love coming back to this place, it never disappoints. The seafood is consistently fresh and perfectly prepared, with each dish showcasing authentic flavors. Love the Coleslaw and Salads. Their cocktails are equally impressive. What truly sets this spot apart, though, is the view. Dining here with the water as your backdrop makes every meal feel like a special occasion. Whether you’re celebrating something or just want a memorable night out with friends this place delivers every time.
Elegant Setting, Delicious Food, and Great Service
We recently had a wonderful lunch at Pacific Table in Plano, and everything about the experience was fantastic. We were a group of six — and were seated at a beautiful table by the window with views overlooking the water, which really elevated the whole dining experience!
The setting is elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a special lunch or a nice gathering with friends and family.
We originally planned to order entrees, however, we ended up enjoying so many of the rolls and small plates that we never made it to the main course! — except for one delicious steak entrée for my nephew.
Nearly every roll we tried was outstanding, which is why we kept ordering more. The rock shrimp was also a standout — flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared.
Service was top-notch throughout our visit. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome without ever rushing us. My brother is an occasional regular here, and now I can see why — the food, service, and ambiance all make it worth returning to.
If you’re looking for a place that offers refined flavors, a relaxing atmosphere, and scenic views, Pacific Table is an excellent choice. I can’t wait to go back!
Great seafood options ,beautiful decor and excellent lake view.
There are very limited restaurants around DFW where you could get good seafood options. Pacific table was one of the best seafood restaurants for me.
All the seafood that we had ,were amazing and beautifully cooked.
Spicy rock shrimp with rice was excellent. Shrimp were succulent and perfectly crispy.
Loved the lobster roll, lobster quality was good.
Pan fried fish was beautifully done, fish was perfectly well done. Crispy on the outside yet soft inside.
Lot of options for sides. Even the sautéed broccolini tasted great and paired really well with the fish. Cocktails were good.
Service was excellent.
Only disappointment was the chicken tenders which we ordered for take away. Batter was too salty to a point where my kid had to get rid of the crispy batter and just eat the chicken. But that’s on us, we anyway didn’t expect the chicken tenders to be best at a seafood place.
I was very pleased with my experience here. We received great service and the food was better than I expected.
The hit at the table was the fried oysters. I enjoyed the lettuce wraps and the risotto is good too.
I don’t think my friends liked the drinks so maybe skip the cocktails.
The atmosphere is perfect on a good weather day. We sat on the patio and it was so relaxing.
Very delicious seafood. We came during Oyster Fest and got raw oysters and Rockefeller oysters for appetizers. The raw oysters were nice and clean tasting and the cocktail sauce was very good too. The Rockefeller oysters were some of the best cooked oysters we have ever had.
For the entree I got the Trout Almondine and it was very good and the mashed potatoes were delicious and exceeded my expectations.
While we waited we were able to sit on couches outside by the water and had the option to be served drinks and appetizers. There was also excellent live music for the outdoor seating. We opted for indoor seating once our wait was over, while was around half an hour, because of the heat. Inside was very loud and busy and hard to hear or server sometimes. If the weather was better we would have enjoyed the relaxing vibe of eating outside with the music and the view of the water.
For oyster fest we also got a free painted oyster shell. The painter was painting them right outside the restaurant and they were very well painted.
Upscale Pacific Northwest sushi, steak and seafood restaurant. Right on the canal with outdoor patio, interior dining, bar and private area as well.
The atmosphere and ambiance is unmatched. This is complimented by their impeccably trained staff. Many times the true measure of an establishment is how they handle a potential problem. Perfection is unattainable so things are going to happen and in our case they took a very minor issue and turned it into a memorable experience.
Try the potato crusted halibut, get the lychee cocktail and indulge in the brown cake dessert. Then go for a relaxing walk along the canals and feel as though you just spent the evening in Venice or Spain.
This is a destination spot. If you're anywhere close and you miss it, you just don't value exceptional experiences.
This is by far the best veggie burger I’ve ever had! The base is made with sushi rice and pecans, and it’s anything but dry, full of flavor and perfectly balanced for vegans. The pineapple dressing adds just the right touch of sweetness and tang to make your taste buds come alive.
I substituted the fries for their quinoa side, and oh boy, it was amazing! The quinoa is mixed with chickpeas, avocado, grilled zucchini, dried fruit, and a light vinaigrette. Every bite was fresh and satisfying.
The staff was also incredibly accommodating with my requests. I don’t like raw onions or cheese, and they made sure to remove them from both the quinoa and the burger without missing a beat. Their attention to detail really stood out.
A fun moment during my visit: my order was actually taken by the manager, who was so well dressed I thought he was one of the high-end guests at first! It turns out he jumped in to help so I wouldn’t have to wait, something you don’t see very often. Later, my server took over and was equally attentive.
The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, making it a place where you can dress casually and still feel right at home.
There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and ladies, each table has a hook for your purse, which is such a thoughtful touch!
The only minor thing for me was the music, it was a little loud for my taste, but I tend to prefer quieter spaces. Most people will likely find it just right.
Overall, an excellent dining experience! I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the Irving area.

This Mother's Day was absolutely the best one I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the day feel even more special. We enjoyed an incredible meal with dishes that were not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. The quality of the food was outstanding, and every bite was delightful. The service was exceptional as well, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion—definitely a solid 10/10 experience. I can’t wait to come back again for another memorable time!

We had a great dining experience at Mexican Sugar in Irving! The food was flavorful and well-presented, capturing that perfect balance of bold Mexican taste with a modern twist. The ambience was warm, stylish, and inviting—perfect for both a casual meal and a night out.
Our server, Elizabeth, took great care of us. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal.
Overall, a solid spot for anyone looking for delicious food in a lively yet relaxed setting. Definitely worth a visit!
Absolutely loved this place!
The atmosphere was amazing with great music playing throughout. The entire restaurant was super clean including the restrooms, which is always a good sign. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive. To top it off, she surprised us with complimentary churros for dessert! Definitely coming back again.
If you’re looking for a spot that checks all the boxes, this is it. We started with the queso; rich, creamy, and honestly the best we’ve had. Then came the fajitas combo and two tacos, both cooked to perfection. The salsa was served hot, which was a nice touch. Combine that with a stunning atmosphere and truly attentive service, and you’ve got a place worth coming back to again and again.
All this was about $60 which is very decent.
Absolutely love this place! I’ve been here a few times now and never had a bad experience. The food is amazing—everything we’ve tried so far has been really good. The chicken fajitas and roasted enchiladas are a couple of my favorites. The restaurant has a great vibe, and the staff is always super friendly.
I've come here a few times and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I can say, if you are sensitive to spice, ask the server beforehand to recommend mild sauces. I love spice but have loved ones that have that sensitivity. The service was overall really good. We were in a larger group of 10 and were in and out in about an hour and a half. This included drinks, appetizers and entrées. I recommend making a reservation in advance during busier times and parties of 10 or more have another process that you'll have to go through the restaurant directly for.
The name alone for this restaurant, sparked my interest while visiting the area. Mexican Sugar. The inside was very welcoming with a calm and peaceful arrangement of the dining tables and chairs. The decor of wall paintings and the unique placement of plants, whisper...please have a seat.
My waiter, Hector, was kind, informative of the menu, and pleasantly polite. I have a peanut allergy, and he made sure to check the ingredients of the menu choice I had requested. That alone, was acutely professional because he went above and beyond to make sure I would enjoy the meal and be okay.
I ordered the chicken fajitas with black beans and cilantro rice. It also came with a side of guacamole, pico de gallo and warm tortillas. The hibiscus margarita is who-hoooo delicious, topped with a beautiful flower and the side of my glass was encrusted with hmmmm...Mexican Sugar.
My dining experience was wonderful, and I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my family and friends, when I'm once again in the area. 5 stars well earned.
Really enjoyed being home for a little while and met with my girlfriends for a pre-boarding dinner. The Mexican old fashion was quite the experience. The food was yummy as usual and the experience was heartwarming.

Hamburger restaurant
Smashburger is a counter-serve chain known for its unique smashed burgers, accompanied by sides and milkshakes. Located near gate B12, this fast food joint offers a variety of mouthwatering options like truffle-mushroom-Swiss sandwiches and the Breakfast Burger topped with bacon, cheese, and a fried egg until 10 am. While some may find the burgers slightly greasy due to their double bacon smash nature, it is to be expected.
I would never thought Airport food is good because they're there to serve you once and never see you again, so the food can be bad and you still have to pay more.
On the way from SJ to Huntsville, Alabama, I had to lay over to Dallas Fort Worth Airport and on the way to the tramp, I saw this restaurant and they're actually cooking burgers with smokes and everything. So I stopped by to get a quick bite. Ordered a Truffle Mushroom Double and had to wait for a good 5 minutes because they're cooking mine in real time. Not microwave pre-cooked food.
Anyhow, it's one of the best burgers I've had, hot, juicy, cheese actually melted on the meat with real mushrooms sauté.
This is actually a new and surprised experience with Airport restaurant. If I ever get to lay over here again, I'll definitely come here for this truffle mushroom burger and may be have some time for fries.

Ordered $30 worth of food, and asked for a couple more ketchup packets. Lady says look in the bottom of the bag. Three packets is the max they'll give you, like ketchup packets are gold! Yet you can take as many mustard and mayo packets you want from the pickup counter. Ketchup is kept by the pass-through guarded and rationed at her whim!
Passing through DFW airport we stopped at our first SMASH burger. I went ahead and got the Smash Chicken Burger Sandwich and my wife got a traditional smash burger. The chicken was great and made out of ground chicken like a patty and the milkshake was on point. The fries could’ve been a bit more fresh but I get it we are at an airport. Overall not bad for our first experience. Lettuce and tomatoes were fresh on the sandwiches mix but they cake the mayo on.
I made a stop at the airport in Dallas, so I decided to get me something to eat. The smash burger was filled with a lot of people. It was a bit noisy here. However, the staffs were polite and the service was great. I got their simple classic burger which came out quickly. I didn’t have to wait for a long
Last year, I had a layover at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, and since I arrived late, Smashburger was the only place open. I ordered a cheeseburger combo. The taste was decent but not exceptional; the beef flavor was a bit lacking. I'm giving it four stars primarily because they were available when nothing else was. However, the service from ordering to table cleaning was quite poor. I hope they improve their service in the future.
Thank you for staying open this evening with all these cancellations. You guys are amazing. The burger and fries were great. Thanks again...
We made a short stop at Denver International Airport during our trip to California. Before boarding the flight for California, we were looking to have a quick bite.
We saw smash burger near our gate and decided to get in line for Smash Burger.
Once we got our chance, we decided to order Classic Bean Sandwich and Tots.
We had to wait 10-15 minutes before getting our order.
We really enjoyed the Classic Bean Sandwich and tots. The black bean patty in the sandwich was particularly tasty and made for a great pre-flight meal. Highly recommended.
You just gotta love being at the uncaring mercy of high airport food prices. Ask questions before you order because the menu will confuse you if your use to regular burger places. I ordered the All American burger with a Dr Pepper thinking it was a combo the total came out to be 20 bucks then she asks me would you like fries with that 😂😂 I said what I figured at that price it comes with fries long story short everything is sold separately and for the price i was not impressed with the Burger could have got more flavor from Burger Kings whopper
