Buzzy New Dallas Restaurant Makes Chicken the Star: Welcome to Southern Comfort Food Heaven

Any menu with a chicken-lollipops appetizer seizes our attention.

The smoked-and-fried drumsticks slathered in Grand Marnier horseradish molasses are served up at Street’s Fine Chicken, the new Oak Lawn neighborhood restaurant from chef Tony Street (Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse) and his Dallas culinary family.

We can’t get enough of the reinvented Southern comfort food: pimento-cheese fritters, crispy tenders, chicken-fried steak, Brie mac ’n cheese, mashed potatoes, and buttery, flaky biscuits.

But the coolest feature here is the artwork: Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing Arts students painted the murals outside, while actual chickens walked in paint to create the chick art inside the restaurant.
