Joe T Garcia’s, while technically not in Dallas, it is one of the few things that draws Dallasites to Ft. Worth.  Not that there’s anything wrong with Ft.

Woodlands Grill | Dallas

Woodlands Grill Dallas isn’t a brand new restaurant, but it is a relatively newcomer to the city.  Or at least I’ve only recently become aware of it.  Woodlands Grill is located just south of 635 off Preston and it was a great happy hour spot.

I had heard of Max’s Wine Dive for quite some time but thought only residents of the southern part of Texas were fortunate enough to have one in their cities, but not anymore! The rumors that Max’s Wine Dive would be opening in Dallas started circulating last spring and finally I got to go and experience
