My son and I were in Dallas for OU-Texas weekend, and we're looking for a good, local, non-chain restaurant - and did we find an absolute home run in Dunston's!

My son had a fabulously cooked bacon-wrapped filet ($18) with asparagus and baked potato. The filet was melt-in-your mouth tender and the asparagus was grilled to a turn.

I had the 8 oz New York Strip ($18), and chose a salad bar trip and baked potato for my sides. My steak was cooked just as I wanted and it was delicious. Their salad bar had a nice selection of greens and vegetables along with a nice variety of dressings - I chose a balsamic vinaigrette that was just the right compliment to my salad.

Our dinners came with fresh, hot yeast rolls and both regular and honey butter.

I would have loved to try their banana pudding dessert, but I was just too full from the great supper!

Not only does Dustin's serve a wonderful steak dinner, they do so in a pleasant, slightly underlit, comfortable dining area with a wonderfully congenial atmosphere that allowed us to enjoy a busy evening crowd but still carry on a pleasant conversation. That's rare these days!

This combination of atmosphere, food, service, and value will make this a special treat we hope to enjoy again soon. Heartily recommended.
