Recommendations on some casual places to eat, drink, and cool places to see. What all would yall recommend? Thanks Pecan Lodge or Lockhart Smokehouse for the best BBQ of your life. Be prepared to wait in a line though. Cane Ross has great pizza if you like thin crust wood fire cooked. There is a fun Segway tour of Dallas my wife and I did last year. it was about $25 a person for a 3 hour tour. 6th Floor Museum is interesting. Crossroads Diner for breakfast is a must. |

Stockyards in Fort Worth just west of Dallas.
JFK Museum Palm Restaurant is a good steak. Be advised however.....Dallas is a gritty town. Don't expect a hip place like Austin. It's not downtown Detroit, but it's not exactly a tourist destination... |

Meddlesome Moth or The Common Table for good food and brews. Lots of other pubs with more basic pub grub - Flying Saucer, The Ginger Man, Old Monk, Trinity Hall, etc...
I also like the Truck Yard, but it's a little cool for that right now. Smoke has dang good BBQ, among many. Hard to narrow it down on TexMex. I like Javier's, but it's pricey. Primos on McKinney is good, but usually packed. Pepe's & Mito's in Deep Ellum is a favored lunch place. There are many others. It really depends on what part of Dallas you're going to be visiting. |

2nd for Babe's. Hectic on weekends, expect a wait. Worth it.

Hard to go wrong on Lower Greenville. The Truck Yard is just off of Lower Greenville, if the weather is nice. I'd do the Blue Goose Cantina for your Tex Mex. Tortillas made on the spot. Good margaritas. I really dig the Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. Fajitas are good too. The Dubliner across the street is a good place for a pint. I used to spend too much time at Stan's Blue Note. I'm older now and the crowd is a lot younger. |

I told her I just want BBQ and TexMex, but girls will be girls - so I wouldn't be surprised if these are ritzy girly places. Isn't there some bad ass indoor range in Dallas?
