No surprise that down-home chicken place Babe's ranked highly in a poll. Just LOOK at that chicken. (Mike Stone)
It’s that time of year again, where we look back on 2014 and pick the year’s best moments. For Zagat, that means surveying nearly 2,900 people to pick D-FW’s best restaurants.
“Best” can mean many things, and Zagat identified winners in several categories. Best food goes to Saint-Emilion in Fort Worth. The most popular restaurant, however, was Babe’s Chicken Dinner House (with several D-FW locations). For “best buys $25 and under,” the title goes to Cane Rosso, which got its start in Deep Ellum. And Knox-Henderson spot Gemma wins “hottest newcomer.”

American: Salum
