Twisted Root Burger Co. ?

Twisted Root Burger Co. is a staple in the DFW area and one of our favorite Black-owned restaurants in Dallas! Their high-quality, made-to-order burgers made this spot a Dallas dining destination after appearing on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Driver-Ins, and Dives.

Chefs Jason Boso and Quincy Hart aimed to make their gourmet burgers better with half-pound patties, locally made buns, and housemade toppings and condiments. Every curated burger is perfectly balanced or you can build your own! Oh, and don’t forget to order their perfect fries and tasty milkshakes!

black owned restaurants — ? Smokey Joe's BBQ

Smokey Joe's BBQ ?

Smokey Joe’s BBQ first opened in 1985, and in their over 30 years of business, they have truly perfected barbeque and perfect pairs of Southern-inspired sides. Named one of Texas Monthly’s 2021 Top 50 BBQ Joints, they are best known for their amazing pork spare ribs, loaded baked potatoes, and buttermilk pie. Each meat from the turkey to brisket is smoked to perfection, but if you can’t choose just one, get a platter to try a few!

Manna Juice Bar ?

For something a little lighter, we recommend a visit to Manna Juice Bar. Located a little ways southwest of Dallas, this has everything you need to feel refreshed or jumpstart your clean eating. Their cold-pressed juices, fresh smoothies, and acai bowls are made from organic produce to provide the freshest and most nutritious snack or meal. Their diverse and nourishing offerings make this one of the healthiest Black-owned restaurants in Dallas!

Aunt Irene's Kitchen ?

If any one knows how to bring the flavor, it’s the team at Aunt Irene’s Kitchen. Their Cajun-style seafood will have you coming back again and again. Each order is made to order, so the food is always fresh and hot. The portions are large and enough to feed two people (or take home leftovers). Pick from options like a lobster box, wings & pasta box, chicken & sausage box, and more. You won’t be disappointed with any of them!

Dough Boy Donuts ?

Dough Boy Donuts started as a food truck but is now a brick-and-mortar store serving the area just south of Fort Worth. These gourmet donuts are indulgent and perfect for a sugary treat.

They have the classic flavors like plain glazed and chocolate glazed, but they also have unique offerings like sriracha maple bacon and butter pecan. If you are looking for the perfect savory-sweet combo, try their signature Dough Boy breakfast sandwich — a grilled Dough Boy Donut with sausage, bacon, American, cheddar, and pepper jack cheeses. It’s easy to see why this is one of our favorite Black-owned restaurants in Dallas!

Their cookies are indulgently made with real butter and have crispy edges, a tender center and a chewy texture. Try out unique flavors like Cosmic Brownie, banana pudding, frosted oatmeal, and butter cake. They even offer local delivery!
