Comfort Food Restaurants near Arlington, TX

“Hands down the best African dining experience I’ve ever had!
From the moment we walked in, the warmth hit us like a Lagos breeze. The lady that received us was so kind and helped us with our order, explaining every dish. The owner (I’m assuming the legendary Chef Temii herself) greeted us with the biggest smile and treated us like family returning home after years away. That level of genuine hospitality is rare these days.
Now, the food… oh my goodness. Where do I even start?
• The jollof rice is straight-up sorcery: smoky, perfectly spiced, with that irresistible bottom crust (pot of gold). I could eat buckets of it.
• Egusi soup with pounded yam? Life-changing. Rich, nutty, packed with flavor, and the pounded yam was silky-smooth, like it was made by angels.
• We also tried the puff-puff for dessert and they came out piping hot, fluffy inside, crisp outside, dusted with just the right amount of sugar. I almost ordered a second plate to take home.
Portions are incredibly generous, everything tastes fresh and homemade, and you can feel the love in every bite.
If you’ve never had West African food before, this is the place to start. If you grew up on it, this will transport you straight back to Mama’s kitchen (maybe even better). Chef Temii is a treasure, the staff are absolute sweethearts, and the vibes are immaculate.
I’m already planning my next visit… and the one after that. Run, don’t walk!
10/10 – Chef Temii has my heart (and my stomach) forever. ❤️🇳🇬“

“My cousin and I ate there today and I am here to tell you the food was good but the service was amazing. Our server's name was Josh and in my opinion he should be cloned. Super friendly and super helpful. And as an added bonus, their butter cake was super fantastic. Needless to say, I will be heading back there soon.“

“Great food and service. Two thumbs up for Dustin. We'll be back.“

“YES! This was our first visit, because we are from out of state. We stopped for a Saturday lunch. Tasty food, Relaxed atmosphere, and Exceptional staff that made us feel welcomed.“

“My lil Leo loves cereal and sneakers what better way to go 1 🛑 shop.“

“AZ was super amazing! She was attentive, provided tasty recommendations, and made sure our food came out fast & hot. She is truly such an amazing server. Will be most definitely returning to this location when i’m visiting the dfw area in the future.“

“Pineapple Grill is a gem for Hawaiian cuisine lovers. The spicy ahi poke is a fresh and flavorful delight, perfectly balanced with a satisfying kick. The butter mochi dessert is a sweet indulgence with its chewy texture and rich taste. A visit to Pineapple Grill is a taste of paradise.“

“We really enjoyed our visit. Awesome atmosphere and beautiful decor. Definitely will have to return in the future!“

“I love the owner. You can often find him working. The burgers are juicey, the catfish is well cooked. The vegetables are always perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is great. It is a great place to bring a date or your family.“

“Good food & service but pretty pricey so not a good value. Even though charging premium prices, all condiments on table were of the cheapest kind, loaded with toxic high fructose corn syrup and a nasty butter substitute with soybean oil and a chemical cocktail of other ingredients. Lord only knows what kind of sub-par ingredients go into the food. For prices you charge, you can do better than this!“

“$25 16oz ribeye on Thursday and $11 8oz sirloin on Monday!“

“I usually order for pickup. My first impression of this place was that it wasn't kind of place I expected (it's in a strange neighborhood). But my food is always hot and fresh, and I'm usually in and out within seconds.

Trip's special is the fried fish, mac, slaw, and a drink. Fish is legit; seasoned well, crispy coating, moist and delicious. Gotta have it with the tartar. Mac is nice and cheesy with good texture. I usually don't like slaw, but Lisa's slaw is sweet, delicious, and really helps to cut down the grease. Recommend throwing in some hushpuppies too.

Chicken is pretty good most of the time, it stays crispy, tender, and juicy for a while. Not mind-blowing delicious, but homestyle and very good for the value you get out of this place. Would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap, filling, satiating meal. Hits different when you're on the drive home and you're too lazy to chef up.“

“a great experienci for me!.. exquisit food“

“Best spot ever!! In hurst ❤️👍🏼👍🏼🦾🦾“

“We visited around 6 PM on Saturday, and although it was busy with a line at the door, things were moving quickly. The staff was hustling to keep tables clean and ready. The manager, Erak, greeted us at the door he was very welcoming and polite.

Latasha walked us to our booth and also took care of us throughout our visit. She introduced herself, took our drink order, suggested appetizers, and brought us fresh, warm honey rolls. The food came out fresh and delicious we were so hungry we forgot to take pictures! I had the blackened salmon with a house salad and baked potato, my husband had the lemon pepper chicken, and my kids enjoyed ribs, chicken strips, and chicken alfredo pasta.

Latasha was attentive the entire time and made sure our drinks were always refilled. She provided excellent service.

We will definitely be back!“
