91657 Sun Sep 05 17:56:36 -0700 2004 15 5 Texas 0 503741 We are moving to Keller (an area off the 820 between Dallas and Fort Worth, near Southlake) Can anyone suggest good restaurants in the area? How about Fort Worth? We are coming from Los Angeles and are spoiled by our choices. Sun Sep 05 17:56:36 -0700 2004 0 Margaret 1 503743 I'll leave Fort Worth to someone who's more familiar with that area but here's some suggestions for the Keller area: Classic Cafe - Roanoke (VERY NICE) Babe's Chicken - Roanoke (Fried Chicken/Chicken Fried Steak - that's it. This place is legendary - BYOB) Up in Smoke - Keller (Great BBQ, huge beer selection, live music on weekends) Thai Chili - Southlake Anamia's, Mi Cocina, Blue Mesa - Southlake (Mexican) The Feed Bag - Southlake (BBQ - never been there, but several friends have recommended it) Weinbergers Deli - Westlake (Chicago Style Deli) Other than Classic Cafe most of the restaurants above are very casual. Not sure exactly what kind of restaurant experience you're looking for but I think the list above are all pretty good. If you're looking for anything in particular let me know and I'll see what I can come up with for you! Sun Sep 05 22:58:28 -0700 2004 503741 0 Chuck 2 503744 Good list of nearby stuff, Chuck. Keller is a famous no man's land for food. It just got its first white-tablecloth restaurant last year, and it's a short drive from most restaurants. Southlake has Kirby's steakhouse and a neo-"town square" shopping center with casual and chain restaurants. Roanoke has Classic Cafe, nice contemporary. Keller's nice restaurant is Mezza Luna (no connection to any other Mezzaluna), Italian. Down I-35, downtown Fort Worth has five or six prime beef steakhouses and a couple of contemporary restaurants. The nicest places are probably in the Cultural District -- Saint-Emilion (French) and La Piazza (Italian). Sun Sep 05 23:08:14 -0700 2004 503743 0 Buck 3 503750 I have to agree with the "no-mans land" sentiment for the most part. One place I was sorry to see close was Urban Tapas in Colleyville. Only ate there once but it seemed like a funky little place that I thought for sure would be a hit. A new place over in Southlake that I haven't tried yet is X's and O's (or something like that). It's in Southlake Square at the same location that housed Josephine's Italian Restaurant. I plan to get there this week hopefully. Forgot about Kirby's Steakhouse! Other people really like Silver Fox in Grapevine (steakhouse - same owners as III Forks) too. In my opinion, it's good not great. Mon Sep 06 09:15:44 -0700 2004 503744 0 Chuck 4 504013 Definately try Babes -- it is the best Chicken Fried Steak that I've had in DFW. Sat Sep 25 17:35:50 -0700 2004 503750 0 Anthony Gheno 2 4305764 Here is a place just down 377 that is in a gas station...yes, a gas station. It's an interesting place that is owned and run by a chef and his wife. There is no alcohol, but you can carry out. Try it and I know you won't be dissapointed. http://www.chefpointcafe.org/menu.nxg Wed Jan 07 17:12:53 -0800 2009 503743 222865 FoodChic 1 2349625 I lived in Keller for 10 years and have to say the chow scene there is pretty dismal. Be prepared to drive ~20 minutes to get to anywhere decent. That said, there are a few semi-close options: Babes is an institution, with great CFS and wonderful mashed potatoes. Rosa's Tortilla Factory has decent flour tortillas and cheap, basic tacos on Tuesdays. It's kind of similar to Taco Cabana, if you're familiar Gloria's in Colleyville has a wonderful Salvadorian plate, and has good Tex-Mex, too Sat Mar 03 16:15:31 -0800 2007 503741 68737 catarata 1 2423953 Don Mateo's is pretty good in Roanoke too. I second Classic Cafe, excellent! There are some good choices here, I like Kirby's but the price has gone through the roof this past year and not sure I would go back at that rate! Lots of folks like Cafe Italia in Grapevine, it is okay. Uncle Julio's is coming to Grapevine as is Bob's Chophouse. There used to be a nice place in Keller, but it finally closed, guess it just couldn't make it! Mon Mar 26 20:49:58 -0700 2007 503741 86217 shellyewu 1 4150707 Try Brio in southlake and if your really looking for authentic italian Cafe Italia in Keller. Its brand new and stellar... Wed Nov 05 06:54:06 -0800 2008 503741 237419 matthewgiron 2 4305804 Dito on Brio, we love it. You'll find many good things in Southlake - Sushi Sam, Eden Bistro for Asian and Sushi Coal Vines for Pizza, Trulucks for expensive seafood. Kincaid's and Snuffers for Burgers In Keller you'll find Up-In-Smoke for great bbq. Baja Grill/El Taco H is great for good Mexican and fabulous Margaritas (brisket tacos are out of this world.) Manny' G's is pretty decent for good soup, burgers and sandwiches. In Wautauga: Try Chef Point Cafe. It's in a gas station on 377, but will completely amaze you. http://www.chefpointcafe.org/menu.nxg Wed Jan 07 17:26:21 -0800 2009 4150707 222865 FoodChic 1 4171611 Seeing as this is an old post I will update you on some good places!.. Of course if you've been here since 04,.. Im sure youve found places. Anyway, as the last person mentioned 1. Cafe Italia - the tortelini michelangelo is amazing,. as Im sure is everything else on their menu! 2. Cowtown Sushi - if you like sushi or japanese food it is very good here, the restaurant is modern decor. This is on the way to Southlake across the street from Sprouts 3. Cavalleros - Texmex-ish Cantina and Steak House - middle of the road prices - good food. 4. Niki's Italian Bistro - great homemade pasta (personally like it better than Mezaluna's..) 5. Tuscany - they have huge portions and it's cheap. Not as good as the other two Italian places mentioned, but still good! 6. El Paseo - Mexican food. It's good, mid-price range. 7. Kassandra's - Mexican food - small family style restaurant - it won't amaze you, but it is good downhome cooking. Thu Nov 13 14:58:36 -0800 2008 503741 239846 lindsayl 1 4265750 Taste of Asia is a great place to eat. Everything from eel to calamari to sushi. Great service and decent prices. Mon Dec 22 07:55:17 -0800 2008 503741 250506 Little Leota 1 4265756 Red Hot & Blue is a very good BBQ type of restaurant. If you are looking for nice atmosphere along with good eating, this is the place. Mon Dec 22 07:57:58 -0800 2008 503741 250506 Little Leota 1 5161654 looks like Twisted Root and Cowboy Chow has opened in Roanoke. Fri Nov 06 12:47:06 -0800 2009 503741 216999 CocoaNut 2 5164150 If you live in Keller, you are close to Southlake which has some good dining options including Blue Mesa Grill (Southwestern cuisine, excellent Sunday champagne brunch), Five Guys Burger (good casual hamburger fast food place). Sat Nov 07 18:05:47 -0800 2009 5161654 52988 BellaDonna 1 5166229 If you're moving to Keller from L.A. you're gonna be BEGGING for help. And soon. Sun Nov 08 21:22:05 -0800 2009 503741 260733 slewfoot
