What are some fun places to go to, eat in Arlington?

 

[BigSHELL]

Good sushi restaurant on the corner of Colins (157) and Green Oaks... Piranha's. Service is slllllllllow though.

 

[mdmost]

Mariano's off 360 near Six Flags Drive is pretty good. They have the same place in Dallas off Abrams and Skillman. Fajitas Lites and Sundance fajitas are allsome.

I second Piranha. Next door is My Martini Bar, which I think is owned by the same people. Cool place and you can get sushi in there too.

olenjacks in lincoln square. spectacular food. collins and 30.

macs bar and grill. little and 20.

i would not consider either "fun" but both are good eats for the area.

There's a Hooters a little bit past the BallPark. There is also an On the Border thats close by to the entertainment.

 

[Benson32]

hooters? otb? i know this is arlington, but there is much better places to go than this.

 

[Nuclear Bear]

If you don't want Hooters or On the Border there is some other quality places like TGI Fridays over on Collins st, Tony Romas, and Chilis.

There is a Bennigans and a Cracker Barrel on the other side of the freeway from the Ballpark if you want to spice it up and look for a little more variety.

I lived in Arlington for way too long. It's about as boring a city as you can have with a good size University and pretty large population. If you're 16 you can go to Six Flags or the waterpark. Other than that there's like 2 bars in the city that aren't attached to a restaurant. You can always hang out at the Parks Mall, that's pretty money.

Come on, what about the great bars on Division?

Sunshine Lounge, Caves Lounge, etc.

Actually, Caves is ok, but that Sunshine place is about as much of a misnomer as you can ever imagine. I spent 5 minutes in there and I wanted to kill myself.

Maybe it's just me but my sarcasm meter was ringing off the charts when I read NuclearBear's posts.

Arlington is teh suck. (Unless we're talking about the CFS at Arlington Steakhouse.)

DMN's main review today is on Olenjack's. The place is not described as "fun", but the food sounds good. I never knew it was there.

[Benson32]

that review is about right. the atmosphere sucks, the service is average, the food is delicious.

for the price, you really cant beat it.

 

[savvy]

I wouldn't consider it fun per se, but I have a big time craving for Dino's Subs.

I live in Alington and my advice is to drive 15 minutes west to downtown FW.

There isn't much here in the way of entertaining things, but what I like about living here is that both Dallas and FW are quick to get to.

I think the landscape of Arlington is going to be changing befre too long. The big development between BPIA and Cowboy Stadium looks very promising, and will hopefully help attract private investment in venues that have not previously looked very seriously at Arlington. There are also even some rumors about devlopment around the UTA area, which would be nice because that area is just to the south and west of the new football stadium. I'm sure that Andrew from UT Law could provide a lot more information on all of this.

As for Olenjack's, it hasn't been open very long. It is located in Lincoln Square, just west of N. Collins and just south of I 30. The location was formerly a Flying Saucer. I know a guy who knows Olenjack, and he loves the place. I have not yet been, but plan to go soon.
