Tillmans Roadhouse, Bishop Arts – Dallas, Texas

Six years to my birthday I began working in Texas and living in Oak Cliff (ironically for me – the Texas OC).  It was during one of the early visits to Dallas that my mother and I first dined at Tillmans.  As a result, the restaurant has a special place in my heart and links back to my transition from California.  It was a perfect choice.  High on the list of recommendations – ginger infused lemon drops, the trio of French Fries, the hamburger, redfish, shrimp and grits and barbecue smoked chicken.  And lastly, for those loving sweets – the Mudpie.  

And if you haven’t experienced cabin chic, Tillmans does it better than anyone.  I longed for shorter days, colder nights, chunky sweaters and mountain air.  And I don’t think I was the only one… right PC?
