Hi everyone,

I live in Garland, I'm not familiar with the Dallas area at all yet...
I have some family visiting from Germany and I would like to take them to a western bar/restaurant of some sort, so I was hoping y'all could make a recommendation...
I would like my guest to experience some kind of western atmosphere, but nothing overly done. Any ideas?
I am not at all comfortable driving in downtown Dallas yet, traffic there freaks me out, so don't bother recommending any place downtown


Thanks!

Not really my cup of tea, but know lots of people here in the NE 'burbs who enjoy WW Fairfields for some two-steppin' and a cold one. http://www.wwfairfields.com/

I'd also say no trip to the area is complete without a great big ole chicken fried steak. Our family enjoys Babe's Chicken Dinner in N Garland and Love and War in TX in Plano. Both are pretty good joints.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the response. I drive by the Love & War place pretty much every day, didn't think of that one at all!
Keep 'em coming if you know of other places. Thanks!

Love and War is sponsoring Murphy's upcoming Murphy Maize Days and bringing Gary P Nunn in as a headliner for the concert. I drove past them for years and now kick myself for never stopping before.

I actually got over myself somehow and the other day I drove to downtown Dallas, yaaaay! Terrifying experience, by the way
Deep Ellum was the area I ended up in, was not intentional, got a little lost...
Went to Hoffbrau Stakehouse, cutesy little western place, food was OK, the staff was amazing, they were so friendly and funny, and there is a rather large terrace there where you can do some people watching. I could have sat there for hours
Dallas sure's got some characters out there
A woman comes up to us as we're sitting on the terrace of the restaurant, she asks if we have found the ticket from the previous guests, we tell her another girl has already taken it as she sat us down at our table.
So this new girl goes ok, what would you like to drink? I look at her and she is dressed really funny, I guess PC term would be ecclectic, appeared a little weird to me but I thought to myself, this is Texas, I should not be surprised by anything, maybe it's part of their thing to dress funky like this. So she stands there for good 5 minutes taking our order, and I had no clue what was going on until two guys at the table accross from ours burst out laughing and said she does not work there, she is just some local crazy She did the same thing to them
Anyway, I felt the need to share that with y'all
