  • Hotdogs and beer are quite common staples at a baseball game. (The peanut vendor will be seen in the stands selling peanuts)

    Cracker Jacks is a old baseball snack.

    Gator McGees Mountain Grill
  • Tip Rating:
  • Gator McGees Mountain Grill - Everyone except me in our party had lunch here. I was off doing more important things like sightseeing the areas of the park.

    Apparently the food was good especially the Buffalo Chicken tenders which were a little hot and spicy. The flame broiled burgers were also very good and there was a "fixing bar" with all kinds of salad bits and pieces as well as a large choice of dressings to build your burger.

    Papadeaux: Papadeaux
  • Tip Rating:
  • It has a beautiful look. The back and west side of the building are the perfect patio and nature area. The back has a fountain that flows from one side to the other and a couple of wooden pathways to the front of the building. A swing is there also. The west side is the patio. It over hangs a waterway and can be breezy. There are tables provided for those who want to eat outside. The inside seating area is very nice also.

    Swamp Thing (Ok its really a drink)

    Ba Le: Ba Le
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the D/FW metroplex. I normally order their Vermicelli dish (Bun Tom Thit Nuong), but their soups (Hu Thieu, Mi Do Bien, Bun Rieu) are also very good. They have really good smoothie drinks and chicken sandwiches (Banh Mi Ga). I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Their best dish is the Com Ga Xoi Mo (Rice w/Whole Chicken). It's served with a light soup and fish sauce. It's easily a dinner for two. Order that, and then for dessert get a either an Avocado (or even a Mango) smoothie without the tapioca balls.

    Bennigan's Grill and Tavern: Irish Fun
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is a chain of casual, sit down restaurants offering any type of food from steak to sandwiches, salads to things from the grill. They have a great bar that is pretty well priced for the area.

    They have a wonderful daily happy hour. I believe it is from 5pm-7pm and then 9pm-11pm. During that time they offer selected $3 appetizers and $2 drinks. The drinks include margarita on the rocks, cosmopolitan, draft beer, and a few others. In the bar area they have a few televisions, juke box, and have yet to see a rude person.

    It's a fun, laid back atmosphere. People come here with their families, after a ball game, on a date, and so on. There has to be something you'll like!

    Again, since this is a chain there are many of these locations around Dallas. Find the one that is closest to you from their website.

    If I'm eating a meal I love the Turkey O'Toole. It is sliced turkey served on a pretzel bun with melted swiss cheese and covered with honey mustad.
    If I'm here for happy hour I order the Irish cheese fries along with the margarita, cosmopolitan, or a draft beer. The tab is always nice during happy hour no matter how many drinks you have :)

    Bodacious BBQ: Soooeeeee!
  • Satisfaction:
  • Normally I am not a big fan of "Texas" barbeque (too sweet, I prefer funky, sour, hot, vinegar, soul/Memphis style).

    However, this place rocks. Great rub on the ribs, excellent sauce, tender, moist;

    between 8 and 9 on a scale of 10.

    And though I almost never do, I would actually recommend buying and taking home some of the rub and sauce they sell for your own barbecue.

    get a slab of pork ribs, put a small bowl of sauce on the side as the rub is good and you will want to sample some first without sauce.

    But the sauce is top notch, so then pour it all over your ribs and plate.
    Fear not, there is a roll of paper towels at every table.

    Beans and corn sides were ok; they serve beer!

    Buck & Loon's: Best Food off Cooper.

    Cacharel: Excellent (no kidding) French Food
  • Satisfaction:
  • Anytime I am in Arlington, if humanly possible, I go to Cacharel for dinner.

    I'm no international gourmet (maybe a gourmand),
    but I have in the past tasted good french food in Paris, so I think you should give Cacharel a shot if you feel like spending the bucks.

    The owners of Cacharel, Host Jean-Claude Adam and Chef Hans Bergmann really care about quality, ambience and presentation, and they know what they're doing.

    Ambience:
    There are excellent paintings on the walls by a local artist in the French style.
    Cacharel sits on the top floor (9th) of a modern building, with windows open to the Arlington nightime vista of Ballpark @ Arlington & Six Flags.

    They have a "steak" menu for the cuisine-impaired, but some of the entries on the traditional french menu are in my opinion, delicious.

    Duck a L 'Dave.
    I am not kidding. My favorite dish is duck a l'orange, but it is not on the menu. Instead the Cacharel french menu offers "Sliced Roasted Breast of Duck served on a Cassis Sauce."

    But Jean-Claude and Hans are such wonderful hosts, they actually will prepare the above dish in an orange sauce for me. And it is a known joke at Cacharel.

    Your waiter may at first blanche, but I promise you, if you go there and order "Duck a la dave," Jean-Claude will laugh, Hans will prepare you some of the best duck a l'orange you have ever had, then grin through the kitchen window at you, giving you the thumbs-up. The squash soup is incredible, and they have an excellent selection of wines and armagnacs.

    I cannot recommend and I thought the appetizer "escargot Cacharel" was just ok at best compared to escargot and fois gras etc. I have had in France (sorry Hans..)

    WARNING: just my opinion, but if you goto Cacharel & order something bizarre like the crabcakes (?! ... some people actually do this .... crab cakes at a french restaurant in Texas...?? Ętes-vous fou ??!! ):

    not only may you be disappointed, but I will be forced to find you, and smack you for your own good.
