Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Richardson – 2024

Excellent in all aspects! Experience was great. Music was great, food was GREAT, puppies and people were great. Very clean venue. Wonderful weather. Certainly would do it again. We had what i call a Low Country Boil…excellent! Please check out pictures…

Visiting Dallas and found this gem after the restaurant we were headed to was closed. Everything was perfect. Excellent food, we had the shrimp cocktail, crawfish etoufee, shrimp and grits and a salad, all expertly prepared. Service was great. We will be back!

Love this restaurant and food is always solid and consistent. I’ve never had a bad fish & chip experience and I love the fried shrimp and calamari too! The fried catfish definitely doesn’t please but the grilled cat fish is recommended!

I had a hankering for meatloaf and decided to stop in here. I’m so happy I found this place! Classic and DELICIOUS comfort food at very reasonable prices! I highly recommend the banana pudding for dessert.

Had a craving for some meatloaf and I found this place. I'm glad I did! They got a daily lunch special for $8.99anf they have good portion. I went with the meatloaf mashed potatoes with brown gravy and t mac and cheese. It was all delicious and I had to take some home. The corn bread was perfection. The lady who waited on me was also super nice and welcoming. I'll definitely be going back for lunch.

Disappointing Experience at The String Bean I recently dined at The String Bean and was thoroughly disappointed. Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately hit with the strong smell of chemicals used to clean the bathroom, which was quite off-putting. The food was bland and lacked any real flavor. My wife loves meatloaf, but she said this one was the worst she'd ever had. She had to drown it in ketchup just to get some flavor. I had the chicken fried chicken, which was so-so. The red beans and rice turned out to be pinto beans and white rice. I also ordered a side of fried okra, which I never received, although they didn't charge us for it. The waiter never asked if we wanted refills on our drinks, and when we finally got the bill, it was the wrong one. The waiter even admitted, "I'm sorry, we're all over the place here." Overall, it was a very bad experience. I will not be returning and would advise anyone from doing so either.

We had a great time here! Food was delicious, service and atmosphere were great! We’re ordered the deviled eggs, chickpea spread, beet salad with chicken, grilled shrimp salad, chicken pesto Caesar, bacon Mac n cheese, corned beef melt, Thai spiced crispy chicken sandwich, brownie sundae, and crème brûlée bread pudding. All was spectacular! We will definitely be back!

This place is a hidden gem! We came in for weekend brunch and were a bit nervous about being comfortable on a Texas patio in the summer, but they have mist fans, swamp coolers, and outdoor AC units. We were so comfortable! Our waiter was John, and he was so great! He was very personable and gave us great recommendations. One of the best service experiences we’ve ever had! We never had a unfilled glass or to look for him if we needed something. 10/10 John! The food was shockingly good! I expected good food, but this was above and beyond. The fried green tomatoes were perfectly seasoned and battered. The other members of my party raved about the brunch burger and I thoroughly enjoyed the standard breakfast. The salad with the standard breakfast was so good, perfectly dressed and seasoned! Finally, the prices were great! Definitely less expensive than most Dallas brunch spots. We were already making plans to return before we left!

First time here! What a gem… Met up here with a few girlfriends for a quick catching up. This place is amazing all around from the food, the service, down to the ambiance. There were lots of people there but it didn't feel crowded and the music was great but not too loud. Lots of conversations but we could still hear each other talking. They also have a good patio area for those who like outdoor seating. We shared great drinks and ordered every appetizer on the menu, and each one was a hit. It was the perfect setting to catch up and share laughs. Only stayed a short time but their staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. This is a hidden gem and we'll be back.

This was my first visit to Ten50, coming from California, and it was a unique experience. You walk up and place your order with the friendly staff, who weigh each BBQ item individually. My favorites were the ribs and brisket—both were fantastic. The corn on the cob was a bit bland, and while the bacon green beans were flavorful, they were cooked more than I prefer. The prices here are much lower than what I’m used to in Bay Area BBQ spots. Nice plus. The atmosphere is casual, with a cool Chevy truck as a centerpiece. There’s plenty of seating and ample parking during midday on a Tuesday. Dallas has no shortage of BBQ options, but we chose this one for its convenience to our hotel, and it didn’t disappoint!

Excellent BBQ! Not cheap, but worth every penny. The brisket was tender and smoky, and the ribs were perfectly seasoned and fell off the bone. Great quality and flavor—highly recommend!

Came here with my friends who from NC. It is said that you have to try Texas barbecue when you come to Texas. I found a famous barbecue restaurant in Dallas near my workplace. It’s also my first time to try this one and we don‘t regret it. My friends like it very much. A nice restaurant, not busy and service is good. What is worth recommending is their corn Plenty parking lots so it’s easy for parking.. will be back..

This is a classic tale of over sold and underwhelmed. the chips and salsa came out, and the chips looked nice then crisp and fresh however they were still and unsalted. The salsa was BANGING! I ordered the two taco plate the first was a brisket which was described as slow cooked but not as descriptive as some of the other beef offerings. The waitress compelled me to order it so I went ahead and that was FIYA.. succulent flavorful. However, the garlic shrimp taco was gross!!! The some shrimp were overcooked and rubbery while other s were mushy. It was wayyy too sweet and i had to move half of the cilantro to get to the taco. The ambiance is wonderful and the staff very friendly

I hadn't been here in over 5 years before this visit. Sometimes if you haven't eaten at a place over an extended period of time the food tastes changes. I used to visit here every Friday when I worked in the area but now I live over an hour away but I'll definitely be stopping by whenever I'm on this side of town again. I had the Latin Love taco and the contrast between the savory and slightly salty beef compliments so well with the subtle sweetness of the plantains. The brisket is also very good and the tacos are huge and stuffed to the brim. The cilantro lime rice and refried black beans are filling and taste awesome as well.

We went to eat lunch here per my daughter’s recommendation. We ordered Ensalada Ocho with Chipotle dressing and Chicken Fajita Quesadillas. The food taste great. The chicken has been marinated, it’s delicious. Server is friendly and hardworking. The place is clean, well lighted and decorated.

I had great company that I was with, I guess the service was a little different, but it wasn't too bad. The food was great and delicious. There's all kinds of different groups of people enjoying this type of food, and the parking lot was pretty much packed. Now if you drive up on this restaurant there's parking in the back and on the side. Plus, I'm love how they have security driving around because they want to make sure people cars are secure.

I was taken there Saturday for a Pre-Birthday Dinner. I had made Reservations but when I got there I was rudely told to wait by the Hostess she said they needed to clean a table. Our food was delicious as were the drinks, but the service was very slow and un-attentive. The atmosphere was nice and spacious. Family friendly. I don't know if I'll go back to this location.

What a fun spot. Delicious food, great drinks, and friendly service. They even had whipped butter. #Iykyk Zion was our server and made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner. Next time, we'll have the lobster. It looked amazing!

***GLUTEN FREE BUNS AVAILABLE*** Burger was incredible. I got the Olive Cheeseburger. And Lenny is top notch, super professional, very helpful, and very friendly.

One of the best burgers that I have tried recently, high quality, big portion and good price

Fries were delicious. Perfect amount of crunchyness and thickness. Place was very very clean and the service was friendly. The burgers were ok too. My accomplice and I both enjoyed our burgers (mushroom cheese and jalapeno cheeseburger) they do go heavy on the pickles so beware. Also the burgers were a little more pink than I would've appreciated, but maybe most people would think it's acceptable.

"Shrimp BLT", except that's not what it was. I decided to try the Summer Special, which was the shrimp blt. They always have the freshest ingredients. The shrimp did not smell fishy and tasted fresh n great. They are always quick to fill your online order and I usually have no complaints. My only complaint today was that I did not get what I ordered. If you look at my salad, I actually got a mixture of the shrimp blt and the green goddess shrimp. My salad did not have: -bacon crumbles -bleu cheese -red onion -buttermilk dressing It had: -zucchini -corn -watermelon radish -green goddess dressing However, the strange combination was actually delicious, so I can't really complain. I wouldn't necessarily call it a screw up. lol

Great food and clean, welcoming atmosphere. Tried their vegetarian Buddha bowl and it was filling - even when shared! Friendly staff.

Hair in my food! I ordered the mango bowl, and to my disgust, there was hair in it. This was my second visit to this restaurant. The first time dining in with my family it was a good experience a tall Hispanic gentleman and an asian gentleman were great at getting out our food in time even when there’s only 2 of them in the shift during a rush hour. The food wasn’t anything special but The Hispanic gentleman had a great attitude to make up for it. But my recent pickup order was a complete disaster. The chicken was cold and dry. I tried calling the store, but the line didn’t go through. I spent $16 on a bowl, and what I got was a pathetic excuse for a meal. When I went to the store to address the issue, the staff couldn’t have cared less and ignored me entirely. The team had a terrible attitude, and a woman at the counter even gave me a side-eye! This is beyond unacceptable. I will be reporting this to the FDA. Thanks for ruining my meal!

Amazing food! We were very pleasantly surprised! The service was incredible, and the atmosphere was amazing as well! I'd highly recommend the fish cilantro lime meal and all of the other meals with hearts ❤️ on the menu! Id also highly recommend the brownie and ice cream dessert! They had very nice live music as well!

We went to this location from a recommendation from a friend. We went for lunch and arrived at 12:00. We were able to get a table right away. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The chips were good, I did not care that much for the salsa, really mild, would have like it better if it was a little more chunky and hardy vegetables. I ordered the Chimichanga with Beef, it had good chopped up pieces of beef, not ground beef. I would have liked it better if you could get a different sauce on the top. The rice and beans were good. They did keep are glasses full as well as chips and salsa. Will try again if I am in the neighborhood but will try something else next time.

Great restaurant! To start with the chips and salsa was so good and I like the margaritas. The main course was also really good. The tacos were delicious.

Luna Grill, located in Richardson, is lovely, neighborhood restaurant that provides a warm atmosphere, attentive service (Thanks Dave!), and delectable food. It is a definite go-to for lunch and dinner. Luna Grill offers a variety of fresh and healthy meals that are tantalizing and flavorful. I recommend you try the bistro beef, garlic shrimp, and koobideh kabobs, and of course the classic gyro. I encourage you to enhance your experience with sampling their sauces. It would be terrific if Luna Grill considered opening a buffet on a certain day to showcase the variety of tasty items on their menu.

My family stopped in here for lunch, and the food was noticeably clean! It’s like we haven’t really tasted all the chemicals and shortcuts in other restaurants’ food until we tasted the absence of it! I didn’t get pictures of our kabobs and the chicken pita before we gobbled them up, but the chicken was perfectly juicy with a flavorful, charcoaled outside! I did get a picture of our sampler platter- do not miss this! An easy and delicious way to try several menu items! Service was friendly, and Dave checked on us even after we were seated! I’ve never experienced that at a counter-service spot! Delicious food and friendly service…we’ll be back!

My absolute favorite place to eat! The food is spectacular, large portions and the staff is always welcoming and pleasant. I wish they had one closer to my work in Irving! Our favorites are the Chicken Santorini bowl, the Lemon Garlic Chicken plate, grilled garlic shrimp skewer and the baklava! All on point…so delicious - Highly recommend!

They played good music and the place was nice but I guess they were painting so the restaurant smelled like paint and the restrooms were locked. The waitress was nice but even though we were 1/3 tables we had to hunt her down for our water. We also asked for their popular items/drinks and she grabbed the menu and read it to us. I asked for flautas and got a hair in one of them. They were nice enough to bring me a new plate but by that time my lunch time was over. 5 stars for restaurant ambiance but I wouldn’t come back.

We came for our anniversary. We were immediately greeted warmly when we walked in. ALL of our ordered items came out quickly. And let me tell you, that Cajun shrimp boil was delicious.

Word couldn't explain just how good the food here is. Somebody's granny is definitely in the back of this place serving up plates of loving kindness and. I feel absolutely blessed by the undoubtedly healing hands that nourished my mind, body and soul in this establishment. I was incredibly put off by the blaring speakers, sparsely populated tables, Spanish only wait staff and uncomfortable seating arrangements in my immediate impression of this place and very nearly went to another location before the band arrived. That's when the entire atmosphere transformed into the most unlikely Mashup of Spanish and Spanglish pop music hits. Me and my friend were very pleasantly surprised at how absolutely wonderful the lead singer and guitarist were. Honestly the whole Group was stellar. And did I mention just how good the food is? I tried. Most of the menu and I kid you not when I say I have yet to be disappointed by a dish I was Served as a customer here. Sure none of our servers spoke English but they were nice and understood us pointing at the menu to Order. We stayed longer than intended for the band which is how I ended up Getting a tamarind frozen margarita, an unusual flavor option even for a Mexican restaurant, a drink so orally invigorating my mouth longs for the next opportunity to meet the tajin coated rim of that most delicious margarita glass once more.

Everything was delicious. We got seated right away, the ambience was fun, they were welcoming with happy faces. Foods were perfectly seasoned and that dessert was just superbly rich. Would recommend it for sure.

Great service - their lobster, shrimp, grilled cheese is delicious!! Had 3 orders of this dish at our table. There was both indoor and outdoor seating. Nice decorations.

We dine in on 10/30/24 Christian our waiter provided excellent service and knew the menu well. Food- Smokin’ Hot Shrimp - 10/10 flavor explosion. We cleaned the appetizer and left nothing behind. Special - Blackened fried catfish plate. 7/10 I didn’t really taste the blackened flavor, lacking in seasoning. The fish was cooked well. The red beans and rice was a little on the salty side so it paired well with each other. Special - Creamy Pesto Shrimp pasta. 10/10 The dish was not overly creamy. The shrimp was big and good amount served. (My daughter finished her plate and that never happens ) Fried catfish plate. 6/10. The catfish lacking in seasoning. It was fried well and was a good size. The fries was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Rice was ok. Garlic Caper Grilled Salmon. 7/10. Salmon was cooked well lacked seasoning. Rice was ok, spinach was prepared perfectly. No Photo - margarita 10/10 strong and was delicious Grits- 10/10 cooked perfectly Key lime pie- 7/10 just regular nothing special about it.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. The filet was spot on and reminded me of Mexican resorts. Perfect for a date night. Great service from the recommendations to the delivery of food.

It is really good place for friends or colleagues to have lunch. We are bunch of friends/colleagues went here for lunch and we loved every dish. Desert at the end Apple pie desert was not so great but decent enough.

The service was excellent and ambiance is fun but I thought the food was ok. I had the chicken tortilla soup. It was tasty but I wish it was heartier and had a little cheese. My friends on the other hand loved their dishes. They had nachos and street tacos. I will say that their margaritas were very good and strong!

Five Stars - A Wonderful Anniversary Celebration We recently celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at Anaya's Seafood in Richardson, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was exceptional, and the service was impeccable. I had the steak and shrimp taco, which was a delightful combination of flavors. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the salmon, cooked to perfection. Our kids had the fish fry and shrimp fettuccine, and they couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. What made our evening even more special was the courteous and helpful waiter who ensured we had everything we needed. The ambiance was perfect for a family celebration, and we left with full stomachs and happy hearts. We highly recommend Anaya's Seafood for any special occasion or even just a casual night out. We look forward to our next visit!

Our first time here. It starts with free samples of 3 of their soups, which are excellent! So good, I forgot to get a picture when they were full!We had the grilled catfish and fried shrimp, which was SO good! But the star for me was their clam chowder. Best Ever!! The staff was very friendly and helpful explaining the different entrees. Our meals came quickly and were hot. We will definitely come back!!

1st time at this location, third one overall. Great food and service. See photo of chalk board for menu specials. Before 7pm the standard cocktails are only $8 so eat early. Few there at 6pm but by 7pm (see photo) almost full house. Plenty of food so lots of leftovers. If you get the apple cobbler it comes with BIG scoop of vanilla ice cream so leave room for dessert and share with table partner.

One of my go to spots when in Dallas. The food is delicious and Halal. Love the consistency of the restaurant. Notable mentions are certainly the excellent breakfast . Very delicious. Great place to bring friends and family and host my business meetings because of the private room. The enclosed patio outdoor is great at night for smoking hookah and having a nice meal! Definitely come check them out

If there was less than one star I would give it to them. I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. After waiting a long time, our food arrived cold, and it was inedible. When we raised the issue, the manager assured us we wouldn’t leave upset and promised a discount. However, when it was time to pay, we were told the manager had left, and the owner refused to honor the discount. We ended up paying over $200 for food we couldn’t eat and ultimately had to throw away. This level of service is unacceptable, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.”

Delicious Mediterranean food in a spacious restaurant. There’s also an enclosed patio for hookah! There’s a great selection of baked goods and gelato as well.
