Re: Dallas best places to take someone out of town?
Will add some to that:
Javier's or Mi Cocina for high end Tex Mex
Sonny Bryant's, Off the Bone, Sammy's, Big Al's or Lockharts for BBQ
Nick & Sam's or Al Biernet's for steaks
560 for a view (Dallas is pretty weak)
Gaylord or Stockyards for Texas Cheese
Rise No1 for very original
