Leave cares and diets behind when selecting from Barley's "totally fried" menu. You'll find crispy onion rings ($6.95), spicy or mild chicken strips served with dipping sauces ($6.95), and fried pickle baskets ($4.95) among the bar-hearty options. Add a little greens to your grease with a Buffalo fried chicken salad ($7.95) served with your choice of dressing. Barley House also serves draft and bottled beers, wine, and mixed drinks.
Vapiano's interior looks like a NASA artist's rendering of what a pizza place should look like on the moon. Bright, clean light and modernist, spacious design comingle with live herbs and pizza trees. The menu features thin-crust pizzas cut laser-thin without using a pizza-laser. Treasure this crispness with a pizza salsiccia, tackled by spicy Sicilian pepperoni and savoy cabbage ($10), or a crudo with prosciutto and parmesan ($10). Each pasta dish contains everything your body needs to survive if you floated out of the comforts of Earth's atmosphere. Try the filetto di manzo with beef filet, fresh veggies, mushrooms, and arugula ($11) or the tacchino piccante, with chicken, chili sauce, bok choy, and bell pepper ($10).
With three Metroplex locations, there's no shortage of wedge-shaped eats drop-forged inside Picasso's ovens daily. House combos, specials, and gourmets run from 8" (starting at $8.99) to 20" (starting at $21.99). Start on an urbane foot with house gourmets such as chicken Florentine pie ($10.99–$27.99), with chicken breast, roma tomatoes, spinach, artichoke hearts, alfredo sauce, and two cheeses. Or hang a fang on the molten pile of pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and beef known as the super meateater ($10.99–$27.99). Foes of the tomato can consult a house special such as the spinach, artichoke, and mushroom ($9.99–$23.99), glazed with a light cream sauce and four different cheeses. And diners true to their Italexican heritage can grab a gourmet taco pizza ($10.99–$27.99), with taco sauce, ground beef, and all the toppings, including sides of guacamole, sour cream, and hot sauce.
The café portion is nestled behind a quaint boutique stocked with gourmet foods, bath wares, and gift baskets, and features a fresh menu of homemade soups, salads, and sandwiches. Soups, like bittersweet square-dance partnerships, are in a state of constant rotation, and fresh-made sandwiches are served on a choice of four breads. Brian's special chicken salad (citrus-marinated chicken, grapes, pineapples, dried cranberries, celery, onion, and walnuts, $7.95) is a favorite, while the hot ham and pineapple (Jack cheese, bacon, and mayo, melted into hearty pumpernickel, $7.95) is ideal for filling deserted bellies with Hawaiian island eats. Waffling mix-masters will dig the variability of the Rosebud plate ($12.50), which includes three finger sandwiches (choices include: pimento cheese, cucumber cream cheese, egg salad, chicken salad, and tuna salad), a cup of soup, deli salad, fruit salad, and a chocolate truffle. Rosebud also offers six loaded entree selections for the Monday through Friday dinner crowd.
Wild About Harry's all-beef hot dogs and frozen custard have garnered a stream of accolades since the shop opened in 1996, accruing esteem to be called one of the four providers of "The Great Hot Dogs of Dallas" in 2011 by the Dallas Observer. The eponymous Harry is a transplant from Hollis, Oklahoma, where his mother, Sarah Frances Coley, cooled sweltering dustbowl summers with sweatbands sculpted from her thick, homemade frozen custard. Honoring her ability to sweeten life during the Great Depression, Harry uses his mother's egg-yolk rich recipe as the foundation for a rotating menu of nearly 50 flavors, whose breadth enables customers hone in on their own sweet spot. Chili appears on the menu of 10 polish sausages, vegetarian franks, and traditional wieners, which noticeably omit ketchup from all but one of their topping combinations, and stars in the southwestern favorite Frito pie. The parlor's glowing pink neon is a beacon to families, who line up at the coral pink Knox Street shop before settling with their melting spoils on shady benches out front.
