My Dallas Trip Part 9: S&D Oyster Company (Restaurant Review)

S&D Oyster Company (Restaurant Review)

This is my mother’s favorite restaurant. We go to S&D Oyster Co. each time I visit. It’s a carbon copy of the best New Orleans cuisine, and certainly the best I’ve tasted anywhere outside of Louisiana. If you visit, be sure and ask for the outdoor patio garden seating in the rear. Crowded in evenings which is why lunch is recommended.

A little bit of trivia: Actor Owen Wilson used to wait tables here.

Today’s brunch:

1. Six Oysters in the half shell with Tabasco and horseradish, each on a Saltine Cracker.
2. Cup of Creole Gumbo.
3. French bread, real butter.
4. Finely-chopped Cole Slaw with Cayenne pepper.
5. Hand-cut French Fries.
6. Rainbow Trout perfectly fried in delicious corn meal. 2 hush puppies. (homemade tartar on the side)
7. Two Rum Runners.

I’m not sure what Mother ordered. My face has been buried in food for the last 45 minutes.

Dallas Trip Part 2: Sabor a La Mexicana (Restaurant)

BRISKET TACOS ARE SERVED!

Tonight’s Mexican feast — soft corn tortillas filled with beef brisket, sauteed with onions and tomatoes. Served with rice, pico de gallo and charro beans. Salad and fresh guacamole. All for $14.95….along with an astounding margarita (okay, 2) with hand squeezed lime juice as the mixer.

Stupendous. Next to a tortilla factory in Oak Cliff. Family owned and run.
