[@tiffytwotimes]

Thank you! Because when they started the list at #1 instead of #10, I immediately stopped the video.

[@ErikaF8]

A few I've already tried. Some have been on my list. Others have been added. Saving video!!! Thanks for sharing!!! ♥️

Love my DJs Steakhouse. I’m sad Turkey Leg Mack didn’t make it and closed. I can’t forget Sweet Georgia Brown’s. Sweet Georgia Brown’s was the spot back in the day! Before social media we had radio and of course word-of-mouth! Georgia Brown’s was well known like Roscoes Chicken and Waffles.

[@MaLiArtworks186]

Is Sweet Georgia Brown still open? I loved their food!

[@ascales30]

@@MaLiArtworks186 Still open, just not as good as it was back in the days.... Went there about a month ago.

[@MaLiArtworks186]

@@ascales30 Thanks for letting me know!

[@ervinlang318YT]

@MaLiArtworks186 Quality at SGB is gone. They still open.

[@treythompson8717]

Love Sweet Georgia Brown. Hope they have fixed the pot holes in the parking lot. Food is on point.

DFW over here, 1,4,5,6 restaurants excellent. #5 been around 20 plus yrs, when Father was alive.

[@SourSensei]

The first restaurant got me smiling like I can feel the food we’ll have you singing and dancing

[@Grownwisdom717]

It’s so good, I’m ready to go back

[@dallastexas5653]

Looks like it’ll have my wallet crying though.

[@feecee5189]

I like how y'all put up the address twice. Thanks for that💯💯💯

[@BlackExcellist]

Our pleasure!

[@jermainelatimer804]

Now I'm going to Dallas

[@BlackExcellist]

Let us know if you’re able to drop in to any of these 🤎

Your internet grandma here will not mind being a 3rd wheel😂

[@keithwilliams5600]

Well come on down Podner; we'd love ❤️ to see ya 🤠🐮🐴🐂🎉! Don't wait until Summer 🌞 because it's waaaay too hot 🔥🥵! Have a safe trip y'all 😁! 💪🙏

[@jermainelatimer804]

@keithwilliams5600 my wife wants to go to Las Vegas, I'm telling her Dallas

[@lynnbill]

The food looks fire at a few these restaurants will have to try. Surprised to see some local neighborhoods represented. Smoky Johns and Rudys go way back and still 🔥 and Klesser Bakery have the best brownies I have ever had ever 😊

[@Woosie321]

The same lineage that cooked for the White House and Governor's Mansions throughout the South, still prepares Soul Food that enables us to win NUMEROUS gold medals 🥇 and set World Records in the global Olympic Games. 😋

[@Shawntraci]

Some of the reasons I love being in DFW!!!

[@reggiewilliams6357]

Rudy's is legendary in Dallas

[@mimisalazar3133]

Not Rudy’s done made the list!😂❤

[@deadlyshizzno]

Damn I'm in Dallas just for this evening 4/8 (day of the solar eclipse) and unfortunately half the restaurants on this list are closed today :( but of the remaining that are open I'll definitely be hitting one up for dinner tonight! I was particularly excited when I saw Casa del Vegano that sounded amazing but is sadly also closed today

[@BlackExcellist]

👌🏽👌🏽

[@raven98031]

Thank you for the video if it's possible next time can you list the places so we can save it.

[@starshanae80]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@meosha299]

If you put Rudy's then you have to add Hendersons chicken. Cause that seasoning is bomb.

[@kingdappa5485]

Gota add fusion Vibes on the list. Best jollof rice/ oxtails in Dallas

[@MISAO_SAO]

Damn...sooo many options! I cannot wait to visit Dallas!

Partially agree; overall, at the end of the day we simply don’t care what you think. I’m the only one that matters in decisions.

Rudy's accepts cards tho

[@kymtaylor5890]

Soulful Street Bites in Addison incredible 😍 😋😋

You guys forgot about the Cake Bar down in Trinity Garden but they supposed to be moving soon a must try 😊

[@g.phelps5797]

The Cake Bar have moved 2629 N Stemmons

[@gidiyup]

Why are the showing Birria tacos when talking about Kessler Baking studio? Kessler doesn't sell tacos. LOL

[@carettagarland3937]

Yes, they do. They partner with a Birria truck on Saturdays. I don't believe they have stopped.

[@g.phelps5797]

I thought some of those look like tacos😅😂

[@TimiekaJ]

A good list!

[@cheriparisedwards3468]

Strange to me that ALL of these are in North Dallas suburbs or Dallas and none are in South Dallas which has the largest population of BF. There are many Excellent Black restaurants down this way and they are the ones I'll be supporting.

[@BlackExcellist]

Name ‘em….

[@cheriparisedwards3468]

@@BlackExcellist my point is that you should have named em. Not sure why your research didn't include this area.

[@vickiemarshall6585]

Location, location, location.😅❤ Broadens the taste buds.

[@solfluer7]

This list is amazing. But I’m confused about the accent of the voiceover moderator. It starts as an English accent then to an American English accent. Please just use your American English, these are American Restaurants 🇺🇸. Respectfully……

[@BlackExcellist]

Technically impossible. IYKYK

[@wildwildwest1662]

Cost to much to eat out😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.

[@ginomichelle2497]

I was excited to try every restaurant until I saw Rudy’s on the list. I’m now questioning y’all’s taste buds because Rudy’s has been trash for many years. I’m going to check out other reviews before I go to any of the other restaurants. 🌻

[@BlackExcellist]

We hope you find something you like and can come back and let us know for Vol2

[@derricktaxin3815]

Dallas has a lot of food. Black or soul food ain’t it. Just go to Houston.

[@stevenserna910]

Why does the narrator keep talking in a British accent, then he drops it, and sounds American. By the 3rd location he described, he just sounds like an east coast, northern New England accent.

[@rmmoss3800]

Sounds like they are using A.I. voices

Chile I had Rudy’s chicken and it’s wasn’t it. Both times! Salty and dry! Don’t believe the hype.

The worst is bad soul food.

[@bigtizzleproductions2589]

I bet everyone of them have a ridiculously priced menu like Trill burger and turkey leg hit here in Houston. That plus the poor service is what kills black businesses. They all wanna get rich fast and charge crazy assss prices. I know some troll gonna say if u can’t afford it then don’t go lol. I can have 10k in my pocket and if it don’t make sense I’m not buying it just to say I supported my people. Not on duty Craig!!!

[@MaLiArtworks186]

We must support each other but also give great service when we come to support!
