| Here are some of the
things food critic Dotty Griffith of the Dallas Morning News has said
about the new Dunston's Prime Steakhouse. |

"Dunston's
Prime is a no-bull steakhouse."
"...no fancy waiters in white coats ... no lobster bibs
... no show-and-tell menu where you get on a first-name basis
with what you're about to eat. You don't have to air-kiss the
maitre d', and the only celebrity portrait on the wall is one
of John Wayne."
"...for the first time, Dunston's - a name synonymous with
everyday prices and everyday steaks - is serving prime in a
new restaurant at the original Harry Hines location."
"... an urban ranch atmosphere ... and prices about a third
less than at typical high-end steakhouses serving prime beef,
the top grade."
"...wine list is similar to the menu; the emphasis is on
value, strong on wines from Chile, known for their reasonable
cost and relative quality. Good value, if not great wine, such
as the bottle of Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon."
"...lunch menu remains vintage Dunston's. Steaks are choice-grade,
in keeping with the tradition of affordability. Changing daily
lunch specials, such as roast beef in brown gravy or entrees
such as fried catfish fillets with a choice of three vegetables,
are staple blue-plate fare, a working man (or woman's) lunch.
The banana pudding, complete with a vanilla wafer garnish that
would make mom proud, is a splendid example of country cookin'."
"...best dinner side dish: potatoes au gratin. Or you can
choose the cheesy potato casserole with your entree, since each
comes with house salad of torn iceberg and a choice of potato
(also baked or homemade french fries that taste as if they're
peeled and cut on premises - great with lots of salt)."
"...a prime example of everyday beef basics that have made
steakhouses a national - not just a Texas - favorite."
