Dallas is serving up more than steak near the GOP convention, with several restaurants within 3 miles of American Airlines Center. The closest on the list is Billy Can Can in Victory Park, where the menu leans modern Texas with chili, venison tartare, Wagyu flatiron, and snapper ceviche. Las Palmas offers Tex-Mex with queso, margaritas, fajitas, and lunch or dinner near 2708 Routh St. S&D Oyster Company brings Dallas history, with quick lunches, New Orleans barbecue shrimp, and Caché upstairs for happy hour. Mister Charles offers a donor-dinner feel with caviar and egg salad, chicken nugget canapé, Colorado lamb rack, and New York strip. Terry Black’s Barbecue in Deep Ellum serves brisket, ribs, links of sausage, mac and cheese, and green beans at 3025 Main St. Fearing’s at the Ritz-Carlton serves Dean’s Tortilla Soup, chicken-fried lobster, Dr Pepper short ribs, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner at 2121 McKinney Ave.
