May I suggest a classy place, local, not a chain?
Exceptional food?
If this is what your heart desires and you are in Arlington, then you must make your way to Olenjack's!
And bring your good friends along to enjoy with you!

Jalepeno soup. Oh this melts in your mouth. And it is NOT spicy, flavored perfectly.
Fried oysters. Perfection in a small bite.
One of their signature dishes - Shrimp and grits. The green stuff in the middle is mustard greens.

Oh Marlis, this looks so good. The tuna is cooked to perfection! The oysters look great! The New York Mets were in Arlington playing the Rangers. It would've been so fun to watch a game and then go there. This place is surely on the list.
ReplyDeleteI'll be near Arlington this summer. I'll have to try to find that restaurant.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fabulous food!
Looks delicious. Wish you had posted a few months ago before I was in Ft Worth! It looks like it would have been worth the trip. I am crazy for fried oysters and tuna with avocado. Yummy. Dianne
ReplyDeleteThat sounds not only delicious but easy! I'm thinking it would work well with any seafood or freshwater fish salad.
ReplyDeleteMarlis, I wasn't hungry until I clicked on your blog.I am drooling over these photos of this wonderful food. I wish I could visit this restaurant. laurie
