Hungry? Three Top Spots for Lunch in Dallas, Texas

If you happen to find yourself looking for a good lunch at a good price in downtown Dallas, Texas, you will want to check out the restaurants in this article. This article reviews Twisted Root Burger Company, Campisi's, and Hook Line and Sinker. My husband and I tested these fantastic lunch hot spots for you. Although these restaurants offer three very different tastes, they do have one thing in common: really great food!!

Twisted Root Burger Co.

This restaurant, founded by three chefs, not only offers the best burgers in Dallas, but quite possibly the best burgers in Texas! If you're in Dallas, you don't want to skip the burgers here.

This burger joint is located on the edge of Dallas's Deep Ellum area. There are meters, but parking along the street is free during daytime hours. As you enter the building you will immediately notice the industrial, but fun, atmosphere. One wall is decorated with corrugated metal and there is corrugated metal along the bar. If you enter the restaurant at any time near the normal lunch hour, you will also notice that the place is packed.

There are four main categories to the cuisine here: Meats, Roots, Sissy Food, and Sweets. On our visit, we didn't sample any Sissy Food (salads) or Sweets.

We chose the ½ lb Black Angus Burger and the Turkey Burger with the Hand-Cut Twisted Sweet Potato Chips and the Beer-Battered Onion Rings. (We could have also had a Real Buffalo Burger, a Chicken Sandwich, or a Veggie Burger.) You can add bacon, grilled onions, blue cheese, or goat cheese to any burger. We added bacon to the Black Angus Burger.

Twisted Root offers their own condiments: Horseradish Dijon, Grandpa's Secret BBQ Sauce, and Chipotle Ketchup. We had Horseradish Dijon on the Angus Burger and Grandpa's Secret BBQ Sauce on the Turkey Burger. The sweet potato chips did not need any type of dressing (more about the sweet potato chips later), but we dipped the onion rings in the Chipotle Ketchup.
