Wagamama

This London-based noodles and curry shop finally made its way to Dallas, parking squarely outside of AA Center. If the vibe before or after a game is something fast casual but in a bowl that won’t make you feel like you just devoured a pound of grease, it’s the move.

Dirty Bones

Copy Link

Wings? Pretty much just wings? That goes with basketball and concerts. Dirty Bones is all about the wing life. Pop into this locally owned spot for wings in buckets that go as large as 100 wings (uh, hopefully to share) and sauces that reach nuclear level (literally, the hottest sauce is called nuclear bird) as well as an array of rubs. It also has apps, salads, and chicken sandwiches — and burgers if you swing that way. Apparently, you can also do brunch there.

Happiest Hour

One of the city’s premiere sports bars has two levels of fun outside the stadium and a massive outdoor patio. Whatever kind of vibe you want to feel, this place has it tucked away somewhere. Must order: the wings in a ferris wheel cart.

Te Deseo

Looking for Latin-ish in this neighborhood? Look no further. The extremely Instagrammable interiors are a fun spot to snap shots with pals over the date night special (available on Thursdays for two at $99), margs with the girlie pops, or selfies off the rooftop balcony.

North Italia

Yes, it’s an Italian chain but this ain’t the Olive Garden. These people are serious about their bolognese. Stop in for a bowl and don’t miss the crispy eggplant parmesan. Don’t want to go all in on Italian? The chef’s boards of Italian meats and cheeses are an excellent option.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer - Dallas

If it’s a burger you want, this nationally-known chain does burgers of all sorts that are top-notch. But honestly, if you come here and don’t try one of the CrazyShakes, then you’re doing it wrong. It also has chicken sandwiches, salads, wings, and a few items that are exclusive to Texas. Do not miss the hot fried pickles with a house-made buttermilk dill sauce.
