A New San Antonio-Inspired Steakhouse To Open in The Colony, Burger Schmurger Expands to Second Outpost, and More Dallas Restaurant News

The Dallas restaurant scene is always changing. From highly anticipated newcomers to beloved spots bidding farewell to must-attend foodie events, something is always happening across the city. In this week’s Dallas Dish, we dive into exciting new restaurant openings and a big move for a local staple.

A New Steakhouse Led by Dallas Chef Jacob Williamson Will Debut in The Colony This Week

From Managing Partner and Executive Chef Jacob Williamson (The Devonshire Club) and Identity Hospitality Group’s Marlon Tapanes (who was the proprietor of celeb chef Carla Pellegrino‘s now-closed Teatro Bistro & Cocktail Lounge), Alamo Prime Steakhouse will open at Grandscape in The Colony on November 12. The new restaurant is a Texas steakhouse that will blend “exceptional cuts of beef, Mexican-influenced flavors and genuine hospitality,” says a release. The 5,200-square-foot space was designed by Coeval, who most recently worked on Dallas’ Puerto, Boogies, Serve & Sip, and more.

About half of Alamo Prime’s prime beef will be sourced from Texas farms and ranches. Tapanes’ time in San Antonio also played a role in the restaurant.

“Having lived in San Antonio, I developed a real appreciation for the city’s rich history, culture, and the way hospitality is so deeply woven into everyday life,” states Tapanes. “There’s something special about the way people gather around a table there. It’s about more than just the food. It’s about the people you’re sharing it with and the memories you create together.”

Highlights on the menu include the Beef Bourguignonne Tacos, Texas Quail Lollipops, Crab Rangoon Eggrolls, 36-ounce Texas Wagyu Tomahawk Chop, Red Chile Braised Short Rib, Venison Frito Pie, Smoked Brisket Tortellini, Mexican Chocolate Crème Brûlée, and so much more. The beverage program will focus on bourbon and whiskey, and a cocktail menu will feature standouts like the Cannon Smoke Old Fashioned, Red Mesa Paloma, and Black Gold Martini with Ossetra caviar.

Reservations are now open.

After Almost 30 Years, Dallas’ Truluck’s Ocean’s Finest Seafood & Crab Is Moving Locations

Opened along Uptown’s McKinney Avenue in 1998, one of Dallas’ top seafood restaurants is headed to a new two-story location at One Uptown (just two blocks away) in early 2027. The new outpost of Truluck’s will feature an expansive central bar with upholstered seating and warm metallic accents, and curved booths, greenery, and sculptural lighting throughout the main dining room. Executive Chef Manny Vera, who has been part of the Truluck’s team since its Dallas opening, will also move to the new outpost, where favorite dishes like the Miso-Glazed Seabass and South African Lobster Tails will continue to be served.

Burger Schmurger To Open Second Location Next Year

An East Dallas burger favorite is expanding to the Preston Hollow area in spring 2027. Founded during the pandemic by Dave Culwell, Burger Schmurger opened its first brick-and-mortar at 718 N. Buckner Boulevard, Suite 100 in 2025. Co-owned with This & That Hospitality’s Phil Schanbaum, the concept will bring its signature smashburgers and beyond to the intersection of Preston Road and Forest Lane (exact location will be announced later on) next. This outpost will be larger than the original, but designed the same way — by Coeval Studio. The kitchen will be the new home base for the brand’s catering program as well.
