Esparzas
MD PICK
Located in historic downtown Grapevine, TX, Esparza's is a gem. It's in an old house-like building. It's eclectic and offers a creative menu of Tex-Mex dining. You can eat inside or outside under draped lights.

I introduced my friends from Racing Electronics to this place and they have been going ever since.  My favorite item on the menu... QUESO FLAMEADO, a skillet of melted monterey jack cheese topped with your choice of beef steak or chnicken sauteed in gralic butter with onions and bell  Peppers, finished with more melted monterey jack cheese!

Cattlemen's Steakhouse
MIKE WALLACE PICK
Going to the Historic Stockyards? Well, before you watch some bull-riding and square dancing with a cold beverage at Billy Bob's... hit this place. Cattlemen's is a famous steakhouse. Don't get a salad, or chicken. BEEF is their specialty. They've been doing great steaks for over 62-years at Cattlemen's.  Have also heard that Mike Wallace is a fan of this joint!

Babe's Chicken  featured video click here
MD PICK
When I first saw this place and saw the lines outside, I knew something was special about it.  Inside, mix-matched chairs, picnic tables and a friendly staff awaits you. Fried Chicken is the name of their game.... simply put. They only have fried-chicken and chicken-fried steak on their menu. Served family style with Mashed potatoes, biscuits, salad and corn. Tony Stewart loves this place!
