Description

East, West and Gulf coasts meet at this self-styled New England lobster and chowder shack on lower Greenville. That's a lot of directions under one roof. However, a compass is unnecessary. Diners simply locate the red neon lobster and blue neon bowl of chowder capped by a red awning. Once seated at a table clothed in red-and-white checker, customers can order copious amounts of specials in grand portions. Whatever is requested, meals are practically required to begin with a bowl of lobster bisque or clam chowder -- they're in the restaurant's full name. Daddy Jack's jumps the pond and goes for the boot with the popular Fra Diavolo with Maine lobster. The joint might be located in the barhopping live-music scene that is Lower Greenville, but it's family-friendly and couples-friendly as well.

    | Dallas, TX | 2 Reviews

    After 30 years of Dallas dining, this is still one of my favorite places; its small and cozy and they take reservations. I go there specifically to get the surf & turf which is the absolute best fillet mignon / lobster tail combo in town. In summer they (usually) will add a fresh ear of corn that compliments the meal perfectly. The dish is so large that they allow you split it (used to be $50 but last time it was $65 and worth every penny).

  • 2009 | Best Paella That's Not Really Paella

    The New England-style seafood shack has been around for a while, but they're not afraid to take chances--chances like dumping every kind of shellfish they can think of on some rice and calling it paella. Two small lobster tails, several scallops, some shrimp, mussels and clams. Geez. This is a tour of New England, the equivalent of an all-you-can-eat seafood feast for about $20. There's nothing Spanish about it, but who really cares? If it's on the menu and you think you're up to the... More »
