"Located just west of Dallas, Wagyu-X operates a halal processing facility and supplies local joints like Kafi BBQ; I note it was cofounded by descendants of some of the first Texan cattle ranchers." - ByFarhan Mustafa
"An old-school downtown steakhouse with a strong wild-game tradition that evokes the feel of an upscale cabin, ideal for introducing non-Texans to unusual cuts like buffalo filet mignon. The longtime family connection to the West End and its heritage gives it a distinctive, nostalgic character that complements the hearty, game-forward menu." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Dallas steakhouse's owner, Tony Street, dismissed the renaming effort as unnecessary and distracting from larger issues, saying, "The policies in Texas are already embarrassing enough. This is the last thing we needed." He called the proposal a "colossal waste of time" that would force menu reprints "all for ego," and criticized local beef consistency, observing, "It's hard to get consistently good quality beef from Texas." He also noted his establishment serves mainly Kansas City steak." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Go for a rustic NYE experience with the three-course meal at this classic Dallas spot in the West End. There are a lot of options on the menu (view it in its entirety online), but a few that catch our eyes include lobster and crab bisque, chicken fried quail, smoked filet mignon, and ruby red trout Newburg. The cost is $115 per person from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and $140 per person from 6:45 to 10:30 p.m., with the option to add on additional sides, desserts, and cocktails for an extra cost. Reservations are available online." - Courtney E. Smith
"This West End steakhouse is offering a special menu for Thanksgiving dinner. It includes a traditional Thanksgiving feast with 48-hour herb brined and slow-roasted turkey breast with gravy, cornbread dressing, sauteed green beans, mashed sweet potatoes, and cranberry chutney. If you want something a little less traditional, it will have a buffalo filet mignon, venison chop, chicken fried lobster, and more. Check out the menu for the full list of options and make a reservation online." - Courtney E. Smith
