Dallas

Came hoping thread title was a typo of "Balls"

Disappointed.

1st a beer:

Revolver -- Blood and Honey

One of the best beers I've ever had and comes from Granbury, TX.

Pairs with just about anything and is like 7% ABV but isn't a dark beer. Do yourself a favor and try the brand even if you don't like the Blood and Honey beer.

Ramen:

http://www.sumoshack.com/

Amazing Ramen place near SMU. Lots of flavor and beer on tap.

---

Burgers:

Twisted Root Burger Co. is always a good choice for burgers, beer and shakes. They have a few locations but every location I've hit up has been good service and quality.

Wife and I did the one near SMU a few times and the one in Arlington once.

---

BBQ:

There is a ton of choice on this one but wife and I liked:

Lockhart Smokehouse

Lockhart is good, well priced BBQ with really no frills. They have SOME sides but they aren't really worth mentioning.

Home - Hard Eight BBQ

Great quality and a GOOD amount of classic sides with the drawback that you have to commute a bit to get there but Coppell is a nice area (basically the asian Mecca of DFW)

For some reason neither of these places served the best burnt-ends. The best burnt ends I had came from:

Bone Daddy's (DON'T GO TO THEIR WEBSITE..apparently it has some malware that is taking it over atm...)

This place is a chain but don't discount it and 100% try the Burnt-ends if you go there.

Dallas bbq is mostly terrible. Cattleack, Hard eight and Pecan Lodge are worth going to. Restaurants in general here are rife with mediocrity. We have a shitload of them though.

Steak is literally the one food type Dallas does A+. If I eat BBQ I have to chug a half bottle of Tums.

You all are high..

Maybe it's being transplanted from Cali or something but compared to most places in Cali the food here is better.

When I say better, I mean on average. You have more choices for every niche food you would want as well as nearly every chain you would want. You just gotta sort through all the places that serve what you want and USUALLY you gotta drive for it.

The only exception I would say is Mexican food, I have yet to find a good mexican place.
