This Austin-based seafood & steak chain earns accolades of all sorts for its fresh and tasty cuisine. “These giant, creamy-pink claws with black tips yield some of the most plump and juicy seafood ever tasted.” (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram). The Dallas Morning News hails Truluck’s Angus steak “flawlessly tender”.

The diner-esque exterior is deceiving. Don’t underestimate the chic — yet comfortable — interior which awaits. Leather booths, dark wood accents, and fresh flowers set an agreeable tone.

We mentioned “fresh” cuisine. Did we mention that Truluck’s has its own fisheries just outside of Naples, Florida? Stone crabs (the house specialty) are flown in from the Gulf and served to you within 24 hours! Check out photos on Truluck’s official Web site.

TABC, as the regulars call it, is an Uptown Dallas hotspot. The draw? Great food, great atmosphere, and great prices.

The cuisine is typically contemporary American, but a few offerings are anything but typical. Take the grilled lettuce appetizer, for instance. Boston lettuce is grilled and served up with bacon and blue cheese dressing. “The flavors and textures make a fun departure from the typical house salad.” (The Dallas Morning News)

Other TABC favorites include meat loaf, homemade pizza, pan-seared sea bass, and chicken with jalapeño dumplings.

Because this is such a happening joint, be prepared for a wait on the weekends. It’s well worth it!

All elements of this Irish pub feel authentic. And there’s a reason: The Idle Rich Pub is owned and operated by three Dublin natives.

Located in the Dallas Uptown district (just along the McKinney Avenue trolley line), this cozy pub exudes ambiance. The interior is dimly lit, boasting dark woods and ample booths. (Comfortable patio seating is available as well.)

Beer choices abound — as one might expect — with brews from Belgium, England, Ireland, Canada, and Germany. Plus, the scotch selection (over 60 varieties!) is most impressive. See it to believe it! Peruse the drink menu, as found on The Idle Rich Pub’s official Web site.

Of course, no pub is complete without the grub. Selections include classics like Fish & Chips, Ale-steamed Mussels, and Beef and Guinness Pie. Check out the full menu on The Idle Rich Pub’s official Web site.
