Visiting Dallas for 10 days and was excited to go to Dunston's on 1/2/2014 after reading reviews. Went to the Lovers Lane restaurant which was busy but not packed on a week night. The dim light didn't hide the nastiness and unkept condition of this place nor the extensive missing ceiling tiles. The cooks all had a "don't care" attitude and demeanor and used the microwave. What is a microwave doing above the steak grill?? The place had the aroma of overheated fryer grease. The medium rare prime rib we ordered came to the table raw and bleeding. We sent it back and they put it in au jus for a couple more minutes then re-served to us. I noted a lack of conversation between the wait staff and the cooks who looked bored. The salad bar featured fake bacon bits but the lettuce was fresh and crisp. The tomatoes were unripe. Anyway, the bread was good but the rest was well below mediocre. The cap on the night was when our waitress tried to palm our credit card then claim we didn't place it in the bill wallet but was willing to comp the meal. It magically appeared in her hand after we walked her path to the register and called for flashlights to search for the card. Her comment after it appeared was "oh and that was a good one too." We won't go here again.
