The Porch

The Porch - 2912 N. Henderson, 75206.

Located in uptown Knox-Henderson, very nice ambience, it looks like a fancy tavern. Enjoy the well-cooled restaurant or the hot-but-breezy terrace. The lunch menu is very eclectic, I had the Parm Chicken. It's a battered, breaded, fried chicken breast covered with a true caprese salad (that's fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and seasoning). Very good plate; I made the mistake of ordering it on a very hot dallas lunch, but i bet it would be wonderful on a cool day. The sangria was sweet and refreshing. If you have time for a relaxed lunch, have a few extra bucks to spend, The Porch is a good choice. Enjoy!



Ali Baba

We visit the one in Lakewood, nice, simple decoration with a great and delicious buffet. It has a great variety of dishes that are constantly replace it, for sure you are eating something recently cooked. It goes from Hummos, Tabouli, dolmas and Lebni, to grape leaves, coriander potatoes, Falafel, Lamb chops and much more. Fresh made Pita bread is always warm. The only limitation is on desserts, your options are fruit or rice pudding.
Great tasty trip to mediterranean cuisine.

The Porch

The Porch at Henderson. There is something really cool about this restaurant, the menu is big enough, the portions are big, the pice is right, the taste in all the dishes is very good. The locations is perfect with a big parking lot which is always good, and the place itself is very simple, open and with a great atmosphere.
Love the Steak Salad, the Burgers are good and if you want to feel like you are having something healthy there's the Chicken Melt sandwich, one of my favorites with grilled chicken breast and melted cheese and your options of fries, cole slow or fruit. Something curious for all of you that don't drink beer or the typical margaritas like me, they do have one of the best sangria in town.

Wild About Harry's


Ok. Tell your wife that you want to check something in Crate and Barrel in Knox Henderson -of course they will be already in the car by that time-. Once you get there, just sneak to the front door and go to that colorful place with a giant hot dog right across the street.

Try the Texas -of course- Mustard, Chili, Onions + Cheese. Finger licking good. The meal comes with some yummy, crunchy skinny french fries. All of them are great, I've tried them all and I just have to say that I love this place as I love Penélope Cruz.

These ones are, in my opinion, the Best in Dallas. They are a classic in the Knox-Henderson area.

The Price? Let me say it this way: an enemy for recession. The value meal for that Texas Dog is $6.79.

Burguesa Burger





Burguesa, WTF? This is what they claim:
We love burgers. We love Mexican food. So we created the Mexican burger.
From the founder of Which Wich
® and Genghis Grill®, comes Burguesa Burger® — a concept that blends American and Mexican influences to create great burgers, fries, and beverages.
Burgers looks great, at least they are big, but the place is a big disappointing. Judge it yourself.

PS. this tables are from Sony Bryans, Burguesa is the one with the orange tent in the parking lot, with no place to seat.

Sammy's BBQ



Sammy's BBQ. Located in 2126 Leonard St. One of the best BBQ's restaurant in downtown/uptown. You need to try the ribs. The sides are really good because you can find more than just the regular cole slow and beans. They have a great spinach salad, the avocado one is good as well. Potato Casserole and fried Okra, are good as well.

Marie Gabrielle




Located in 2728 North Harwood, right after you pass the Rolex building Marie-Gabrielle is the best
keep secret in town. Great gardens, great
food, great service, and the price, just right. The Burgers are a hit. They change their menu every day, and goes all the way from salads, soups to specialty dishes.
Yesterday I have a Tai Chicken wrap to to vary from the classic burger and it was really good. I visited their website and I discover that you can rent the garden for events in case you need it. 10 out of 10 pionts.
