The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Smash burgers reach their peak at this spot in Lake Highlands from chef Dave Culwell. There are weekly specials — the offerings go far beyond the standard smash burger with fries — but if you’re here, it’s probably because you want that burger, which has possibly the best crispy edges in all of Dallas. His secret sauce is a savory delight; the grilled onions and molten cheese in the classic Schmurger push the smash burger’s flavor over the top. His new standalone restaurant, opened after years of operating as a pop-up, offers just shy of a dozen varieties of smash burgers, fries, onion strings, and fried pickles. Best for: Going HAM on a burger, so absolutely not an early-phase-of-the-relationship date. The large space is family-friendly, and it has a full bar." - Courtney E. Smith
