My wife had the hempenadas and loved them."

Yelper Jason M. added, "Don't skip the white chocolate bread pudding, it's divine. Also, great wines at inexpensive prices. I've never had food and service this good in a counter service restaurant."

Art A., who reviewed it on Dec. 11, said, "The food and service was fantastic. Definitely not your traditional steakhouse, so don't go expecting a serious formal dining experience. But service was great and attentive on a Saturday night. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. [The] sommelier was engaging and the bartender was also very helpful."

Amelia K., however, said, "There are many other local competitors that offer flavorful steaks that are half the price. I was not impressed with this restaurant and don't plan to return."

Hungry? Knife is open from 11 a.m.–3:30 p.m. and 5–10 p.m. daily, except for Thursday when it's open from 10 a.m.–3:30 p.m. and 5–10 p.m.

B. Frank and Relish is a new traditional American spot.

B. Frank and Relish has gotten off to an uneven start thus far, with a three-star rating out of 16 reviews on Yelp.

Linda K., who was among the first to review it on Nov. 15, wrote, "This place is rather new, probably still needs some work. The decor is nice, service was okay. They do offer complimentary smoked pickles in a chilled mason jar. ... The Wagyu beef hot dog was dry and the proportion to the bun was off."

Yelper Brandon Y., however, said, “The appetizers have lots of flavor. Had low expectations for the salmon and yellowtail because this is not a sushi restaurant. I was impressed with the quality and taste of the fish—better than a lot of sushi restaurants here in Dallas. Entrees came out right as we finished our appetizers—flavor was good on both steaks."

Head on over to check it out: B. Frank and Relish is open from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Monday-Wednesday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m.–11 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m.–9 p.m. on Sunday.
