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: Named Esquire’s 2007 Best New Restaurant of the Year, 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.

    With no exaggeration, one of the best meals and service anywhere. Chef Fearing and team did an amazing job on their Christmas Eve - 3 course menu. You have to experience the quality and flavors there to get a meaningful appreciation. Top quality, all around!

    I took my husband for his birthday and couldn’t be happier with the food and service. Each person we encountered was more kind than the next and they took note and everyone that passed wished my husband a happy birthday. It was out of their way and thoughtful. Food was excellent and I hope to go back again soon!

    Have been coming here annually for years. Food and ambience remain overall very nice but servers don’t take much time with you (in our experience) and just seem more interested in moving you along. We continue to eat here because we like the food and ambience and regularly stay at the hotel. But wish the servers would focus more on creating a more positive experience and taking their time.
