With its lively personality, warm welcome and the “Bold Flavors-No Borders” cuisine of celebrity chef Dean Fearing (the godfather of Modern Texas Cuisine), Fearing’s is a “can’t miss” stop in Dallas. One of the most popular and acclaimed restaurants in Texas, Fearing’s attracts everyone from celebrities, rock stars, local diners and business travelers -- to heads of state and people who just plain love great food from Texas and the Southwest.

Join us in one of our seven unforgettable indoor and heated outdoor settings, ranging from casual to elegant, and including the legendary and always fun Rattlesnake Bar. Welcome to Fearing’s Restaurant – where Texas friendliness and great service are always available. And don’t forget to ask to meet Dean Fearing -- chef, recording artist, guitar connoisseur and best-selling author of The Texas Food Bible. If you’re lucky, he may just stop by your table to give you his own personal welcome.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Dean Fearing

From the OpenTable editors: James Beard Award-winning celebrity chef Dean Fearing’s swanky spot still turns out some of the city’s most innovative Southwestern fare. Feast on achiote-glazed antelope over mole with a braised rabbit enchilada, all while seated in a series of elegant dining rooms with Texas accents like rawhide chandeliers. The restaurant's sprawling patio is a prime weekend spot thanks to live music and a lively brunch.

    A delicious meal. I'm many ways taking what a steakhouse/new American restaurant is and elevating it in a non-pretentious way. Whether a special occasion or a business dinner, I don't think you'll leave here disappointed.

    One of the best meals we have had out in a long time. The buffalo was exquisite, the scallops and wagu tartare amazing. The chef accommodated our request for seed-free oil dining and the bonus chocolates at the end were a nice treat. Highly recommend.

    Tea at the Ritz is a must! We came for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The sandwiches were our favorite, especially the ancho chicken salad. The harp player was such an elegant touch and wonderful background. It was a perfect tea experience.
