Budget
Pastazios New York Pizza
New York style pizza place with a very casual atmosphere. Limited delivery area available. Patio seating is available.
Pho Que Huong
Pho Que Huong's signature dish is "pho" a Vietnamese soup filled with rice noodles and various other things. It's cheap, fast, and low-calorie. They have some available ingredients not generally found in other restaurants such as tendons and tripe. Along with pho they have a lot of other foods in their 'order-by-number' menu. Fried rice, non-soup noodle dishes, sandwiches, and vermicelli. Beverages include a variety of coffees, teas, and coconut drinks. For dessert they have smoothies, but they're a little icy.
Jakes
Friendly place where one can get a good burger and a cold beer. Unlike most other places in Addison, this one is simpler with more of a "blue-collar" feel. Patio seating is available for enjoying the summer nights.
Which Wich
Classic fast food custom sandwich chain. It's easy to order: just grab a paper bag, mark off all the things you want on one side, then draw a silly picture on the other side to keep track of yours. Oh, and this is one of the few places in the Metroplex to serve Mello Yello.
IHOP
Inexpensive, convenient, breakfast served anytime. Just like it's bitter rival Dennys.
Midrange
Clay Pit
Indian restaurant and bar, serving a large variety of exotic vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Atmosphere is more hip and modern, but still traditional. Try a mango lassi to drink, or their signature ginger peach mango iced tea.
Gloria's
Probably the best and most well known El Salvadoran/Tex-Mex in Dallas with locations in UpTown, Addison, & Bishop Arts Disctrict. Great food & Margaritas. Definitely try a Meltdown. Reasonably priced.
Best Thai
A cozy and tasty Thai restaurant. The place is rarely crowded, and service is very friendly. Along with various meats, vegan options are also available on the menu.
Blue Mesa Grill
A rather nice American Southwest fusion restaurant. Like Tex-Mex with a little extra added. They also have a wide selection of tequila drinks. Try their Sunday brunch, however be sure to show up at 9AM to avoid the church crowd.
May Dragon
A four-star Chinese restaurant. This is the restaurant owned by Addison city mayor, Joe Chow, and he can frequently be seen running around the place. It serves the normal Americanized Chinese cuisine, as well as several traditional Chinese dishes. There are also some items usually only seen in Asia such as Aromatic Beef, Thousand Layer Egg, Pickled Jellyfish and Peking Style Roast Pork.
Magic Time Machine
This is a kids-oriented restaurant that screams atmosphere! The lobby is decorated in very loud bright colors. The dining room has the same bright colors with loud and gaudy wallpaper. Every obscure, brightly-colored accessory is hanging on the wall. And even the waiters are dressed in various fictional characters. People go there for the atmosphere, and with as much work as they put into their atmosphere they left the food a bit lacking. The food isn't bad, but it doesn't stand out as anything special. Overall it's a fun place to take the kids.
Buffalo Wild Wings
Restaurant specializing in finger foods, hot wings, and really hot sauces. Ask your waiter for a trivia box, which will allow you to play video trivia against others in the bar, as well as play a number of other games. Nice place to hang out in the afternoon. The place tends to get noisy most nights.
Kampai Sushi & Grill
Trendy sushi bar in the hip Addison Circle neighborhood. Atmosphere is upscale, but friendly. The restaurant gets a lot of regulars there, and they're never shy about making new friends. Dress code is smart casual.
Queen of Sheba
A wonderful Ethiopian restaurant with an elegant, yet casual setting. Food is served in traditional Ethiopian style, and sharing of food at the table is encouraged.
Red India Bistro
This restaurant/bar/lounge is quite trendy and decorated very beautifully. While they have many classical Indian dishes, they give it their own touch by making the food a unique mixture of Indian and Asian fusion. This is a little more expensive than the restaurants in the surrounding area, but it is quite worth it.
Top end
Antonio's Ristorante
An elegant and romantic small italian restaurant. Ingredients are fresh, the waiters are professional, and the atmosphere is intimate. Located slightly off the beaten path of the circle's sidewalk, but they do have a nice patio.
Texas de Brazil
An excellent place for Churrascaria Brazilian steakhouse. Come hungry, as there are a large number of meats to choose from. One price gets you access to their entire selection, as well as a nice salad bar. Dress code is smart casual.
Mr. Sushi
Excellent upscale Japanese restaurant. There is a modern sushi bar to sit at, and there are also tables available. While their main attraction is sushi, they also have a large variety of Japanese dishes. If you tell them it's your birthday they'll play their large taiko drum for you.
Chamberlain's Steak and Chop House
Steaks, seafood and rib seven nights a week in a traditional fine dining atmosphere.
Fogo de Chão
Authentic Brazilian-style churrascaria barbeque. A franchise of the world-famous Sao Paulo restaurant. 40-item salad bar, and incredible cuts of meat. Expensive but worth it. A very similar restaurant called "Texas de Brazil" sits across the street a block down.
Kobe Steaks
A very popular hibachi-style restaurant. A large variety of meats are available, ready to be grilled right before your eyes at your table. Hibachi chefs juggle their cooking utensils and create large fireballs only four feet from your face. Fun for all ages that don't mind potentially getting their eyebrows singed off. It's advisable to go early in the week, as there is usally an hour wait on the weekends and reservations are not accepted for Friday and Saturday nights.
Trulucks
A very nice seafood & steak restaurant. Professional service with the extra touches that make a meal special. Some of the soups are prepared at your table, and the caesar salad has a real anchovy in it. Casual attire is accepted here.
Chaucers
An upscale Japanese restaurant. No one really knows why they decided a there should be a Japanese restaurant with a medieval theme and named after the writer of the Canterbury Tales. Nevertheless, the sushi here is very tasty, and they have a wide variety of unique sushi platters. Some non-sushi Japanese entrees are also available. The atmosphere is clearly designed for the young, rich, and beautiful. Friday and Saturday nights can get very loud and very busy, so don't expect a quiet evening.
