When you walk into Daddy Jack's off the corner of Elm and Crowdus, the powerful smell of the wood burning grill and the industrial feel of the restaurant creates an atmosphere not far from the French Quarter of New Orleans. Deep Ellum might not be the most popular area for trendy Dallasites, but the food is worth risking a trip under Woodall Rogers. Make sure you check out the bar and lounge area when the food coma sets in.

Can't miss dishes: Beef Carpaccio appetizer, horseradish crusted tilapia with light lemon butter sauce, penne con pollo with fresh vegetables, The garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and flowerless chocolate cake

Scene: artsy deep ellum residents and musicians, Dallas seafood lovers, couples

Cost: reasonable

Service: friendly and helpful. Our server recommended wine to go with dinner and which fish was freshest that day.

Negatives: The restaurant (and Deep Ellum in general) was not crowded so it wasn't as lively as it could have been. It would be worth it to bring friends for a private happy hour or large dining party.

Hours of Operation: Mon-Fri 11am-2pm, Sun, Tue-Thu 5pm-10pm, Fri 5pm-11pm, Sat 5:30pm-11pm
Sunday Brunch includes bottomless mimosas!
