Kuby’s Sausage House

6601 Snider Plaza

Kuby’s has been the mainstay of Snider Plaza for the past 61 years and is an absolute must see for those just arriving to Snider Plaza. It is filled with German folklore, design and the finest meats and cheeses Dallas has to offer. On any given day you will see its restaurant full of families desiring a traditional egg breakfast or those popping in for one of their world renowned Reuben sandwiches with hot German potato salad. They also process meat and fish so hunters and fishermen are spotted daily munching Bratwurst on a Bun.

Open daily from 7:30am-2:00pm and closed Sunday.

Bubba’s Cooks Country

6617 Hillcrest Avenue

Always rated the best fried chicken in Dallas, you haven’t lived if you have not tried their fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and please do not forget the biscuits. This is family comfort food at its finest. Converting an old Texaco station in 1981, Bubba’s was born in Snider Plaza by Mary Beth Vinyard who had developed and perfected the fried chicken recipe that is still used today. 

Open daily from 6:30am-9:00pm

Amore Italian Bistro

6931 Snider Plaza

Celebrating its 40th anniversary with its humble beginnings of striving to serve the freshest ingredients and the best in customer service, this Snider Plaza mainstay is the Italian food to go to. We have been taking our five children there for nearly 40 years, and I remember taking them there for dinner and telling them right after we were getting on a plane to Disney World! The manager, Ted, has been there the whole time and he still remembers everyone’s name. I highly recommend pizza, spaghetti or calamari. 

Open Monday through Friday 11am-9pm, Saturday 5pm-9 pm and closed Sunday.

Plaza Health Foods

6722 Snider Plaza

For over 70 years Max Fuqua, a third generation owner and certified nutritionist, has been the trusted source for vitamins and supplements in the area . In fact, this was the first health food store in Dallas. Although this is not really a restaurant, I could not go without mentioning their delicious frozen yogurt with 5 probiotics. You will see lines out the door in summer and the constantly changing flavors always fulfill anyone’s taste buds.

Open Monday through Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 10am-4pm. Closed Sundays.

Food From Galilee

6710 Snider Plaza

What started as a basic Lebanese sandwich shop in 1991 has evolved into one of Dallas’s tastiest spots for middle eastern fare. The cornish hen, only served at dinner, is made to order and stuffed with rice and is out of this world. Other must orders include the tabouli, grape leaves platter and the kabobs. 

Open Monday through Saturday 11am-3:30pm and 5pm-9pm. Closed Sundays.

Dive Coastal Cuisine

3404 Rankin Street

Francesca Nor opened this organic based, locally grown restaurant 13 years ago and has been going strong ever since. Best known for their seasonal seafood entrees and creative salads (the salad sampler and hearts of palm being my go to’s). They even partner with Turn Compost to reduce overall food waste. Of course-it is woman owned.

Open Monday through Saturday 11am-9pm. Closed Sundays.

Douglas Bar & Grill

6818 Snider Plaza

Doug Pickering, Wall Street financier turned pit master grew up going to Snider Plaza his whole life and in 2022 established the Douglas Bar & Grill, as the barbeque mainstay for Snider Plaza. After helping  establish Ferris Wheeler’s in the Design District in 2017, he was ready to open his own. The brisket is out of this world, but if beef is not  your thing the honey glazed salmon is a must.
