Description

Plonk bills itself as a Garden Oaks/Oak Forest wine bar, but it’s so much more than that. The impeccably compiled wine list (owner Scott Miller was once the wine director for Pappas Steakhouse) is complemented by an eccentric beer list that’s heavy on local and craft brews. And both lists are bolstered by a full dinner menu that features modern American cuisine from Chef Erin Smith as well as favorites like an aged hanger steak or a juicy cheeseburger topped with guanciale.

  • 2012 | Best Wine List

    Just as the sign-less Plonk is a secret treasure here in Garden Oaks, so does its wine list feature hidden gems from the peerless mind of owner Scott Miller. Miller, the former wine director at Pappas Steakhouse, is smart enough to know his clientele on both ends of the wine spectrum and caters to them with aplomb. This means you'll find highly accessible $6 and $8 glasses of Merlot mingling on his menu alongside glasses like a $16 Weingut Bründlmayer Riesling Kamptaler Terrassen from... More »

  • 2011 | Best Burger

    Although you wouldn't expect it from a wine bar, Plonk has one of the best bacon cheeseburgers we've ever tasted. And that's because Plonk is more than just a wine bar: It combines excellent food with expertly chosen wine and beer in a cozy, neighborhood setting. The guanciale burger is the best example of that food. Its buns are toasted in the pizza oven while Swiss cheese melts onto the top bun, and when combined, they sandwich a huge patty that's rampant with beef juices and covered with... More »
