Y’all know I love me some Keith Lee, but he got this one wrong for sure! 🫣 Roots Southern Table is an amazing southern style restaurant that mixes old school recipes with a modern twist! They have a rotating menu that features incredible creations and it’s 100% worth a visit! 🔥 Everything tastes like it belongs on the food network! You’ll find classic southern dishes + new seasonal creations, and baby they almost had to roll me out the place 😂 This isn’t a spot to grab and go! Everything is made fresh to order and you have to taste it when it comes right out of the kitchen! 🙌🏾 I could list my favorites, but it would probably be the whole menu haha just tell the server what you like and let them recommend some dishes to you! 🍗 This place is intimate enough for date night but also a great place for a family or group dinner! ✨

If you’re looking for a great place in Dallas to grab pizza with the family, you must try Canne Rosso’s authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas! We love that many of their locations have outdoor patios (our favorites are their White Rock and North Dallas locations). They also have a kids menu, happy hour, and delicious dessert pizzas! Address: Multiple locations in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Carrollton, Frisco, and North Dallas.

I definitely get why people really like this spot! 🔥 JOA GRILL is a top notch Korean BBQ spot in Dallas that really surprised me when I went! The food, drinks, and vibes were excellent and it was perfect for a nice date night! ✨ This is an elevated Korean BBQ concept, so your server cooks you meats for you (if you’d like) and they have a nice menu of specialty items to go with your main course! 🙌🏾 If you like Korean BBQ, then I recommend trying the TASTE OF JOA. It’s made for 2 people and comes with plenty of meats to share! 🥩 If you want something other than Korean BBQ, I highly recommend the OCTOPUS & the MUSSELS! They were both amazing! 🔥 This is a great spot for date night or a fun group dinner! It’s really a gorgeous spot! 🙌🏾
THE ROOFTOP GUIDE
Perched on top of the classic hotel The Statler in downtown Dallas, the beautiful Waterproof is a pool bar by day and a rooftop lounge by night. Both stylish indoor lounge and open-air terrace, where the outside part offers both a refreshing rooftop pool and panoramic views over the Dallas skyline. Visit for sunny and relaxing afternoon cocktails, or come for the nightly, more swanky and vibrant atompshere. During the colder months, the terrace turns into Winterproof, with some really cool and cosy rooftop igloos.

Sunset Soiree at Kaleidoscope Park When Kaleidoscope Park officially opens on Saturday, Oct. 5, it will be the culmination of years of hard work and planning by the Kaleidoscope Park Foundation and its volunteers, as well as its partners at Communities Foundation of Texas, the City of Frisco and HALL Park. It is only fitting, therefore, that those founders and the entities who have sponsored and funded the development of this world-class art and horticultural destination be feted at a ticketed party prior to the official Grand Opening. On Friday, Oct. 4, guests will be treated to the Sunset Soirée: A Walk in the Park at Frisco’s Kaleidoscope Park. This first-look event offers a curated guest list the chance to stroll the park and hear from those who were fundamental in its creation and completion. After arriving at the new HALL Park, guests will have the opportunity to stroll the park while enjoying small bites donated by Vestal’s Catering, gelato provided by Gelato la Boca, beer provided by Rollertown Beerworks, cocktails by Socorro Tequila, and spectacular sips of HALL Wines donated by Craig and Kathryn Hall. Guests at the ticketed event will have the first official chance to view Janet Echelman’s magnificent Butterfly Rest Stop, the largest and most important piece of public art to debut in North Texas in years. In keeping with the bridge that Frisco has built between art and technology, the evening will end with a drone show presented by North Texas’ Sky Elements.

MIGHTY CHICK || PLANO 🐥 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: another great Korean pocha to take your friends to eat the best Korean junk food and drink cheap drinks! 🍒 THE VIBE: party, street, writing everywhere, disco balls. It’s a classic Korean Pocha! 🍒 PRICE: ~$45 + tip 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. Overall Rating: 8/10 - A Korean Pocha is a place that serves Korean street food and is optimal for casual social gatherings and sharing drinks. If you’ve been to one before, you already know the vibes are immaculate ✨ - I only really docked off points because they forgot our rice cakes in the stew so it kind of made it more plain and it was just something I could’ve made at home… it was good though! - The chicken wings were actually so delicious and crunchy. Highly recommend trying the flavors we got. - The dumplings were actually so good and I dipped them in the stew sauce and wow it was excellent. - Overall, a solid spot for good food, vibes, and tons of selection in drinks and food. Servers were very attentive too.

Ookuma Japanese Burger Crispy breaded chicken, a fistful of pickles, and a blanket of tartar sauce are all this burger needs. As I wrote previously, you can’t eat the burger without a mountain of napkins, thanks to the housemade tartar sauce loaded with chopped egg. Miraculously, the fried chicken stays crisp underneath. It’s a creamy summer delight, which is good, since seating here is in the great (shaded) outdoors.

JUBILEE CAFE 🐻 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: their bear themed iced drinks! Also, a ton of dessert options. 🍒 THE VIBE: cute little cafe, not really for studying, it’s more for sitting down and enjoying a meal with a friend or two. 🍒 PRICE: ~$120 (lots of food!) (gifted 🤍) 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! •••• Overall Rating: 9.5/10 - After seeing post about this super cute bear-themed cafe, I was so excited to come here! - Must try dishes are the calamari salad, wild mushroom risotto (best selling item), and the ingeolimi shaved ice! - The calamari salad had so much flavor and I loved the snap of the boiled calamari. The salad had a zesty dressing and the calamari was just seasoned very well. - The risotto had a strong truffle taste so if you like that it was so good and hearty to have in the rainy weather! - The shaved ice was actually my greatest surprise! It had mochi squares and red beans that were perfectly sweet with the shaved ice. - Of course you have to try their bear ice drinks! The coffee is on the stronger side with no sugar so just indicate if you want a flavored/sweet latte. I loved it though because the coffee flavor was great. The colorful drinks were so fun too! - A cute place with hearty and variety of food. Definitely check it out.
