Mesquite Broiled Steaks Come to Texas!
Mesquite broiled steaks were born in Texas in 1955 thanks to Gene Dunston, who has been serving these great tasting steaks at affordable prices for nearly 50 years. His original steak house on Harry Hines has been a popular Dallas mainstay ever since.

In 1969, Gene and his sister Judy decided to open a second location and a perfect spot on Lovers Lane near the Park Cities was chosen. With her three daughters, Cheri, Diana and Cindi by her side, Judy gave it her all and turned the restaurant into the comfortable, family atmosphere it still retains today. All three girls have worked at the restaurant throughout the years and Cheri has continued on as General Manager. Over the years, other family members could be spotted at different times, and now grandson Shane, granddaughter Julia and Judy's sister Shirley are part of the family owned and operated business.

For over 39 years at the same location with the original owners, excellent food and excellent service this family venture has become a Dallas and Park Cities tradition. Warm, inviting, and decorated by Judy with contributions from many customers over the years, Dunston's Steak House & Bar has become a favorite for steak lovers. Its convenient location between Inwood and the Tollway makes it easily accessible from everywhere. And the highly popular back room bar with ample dining tables is the favorite eating spot for many Dallas and Park Cities regulars. Once you've been there a few times, you'll find the rear entrance, a favorite of those in the know, and will quickly become one of the regulars, too!

While the primary decorating scheme was the original creation of Judy, she is quick to point out that the majority of the decorations adorning Dunston's walls, bookcases, and shelves came from the customers. You'll find a unique collection at Dunston's, ranging from a beautiful blue marlin to plaques, trophies, sayings, and memorabilia from all over the world. Judy says she will hang it if you bring it!

The other thing you will find at Dunston's is fabulous food!
Tenderloins, sirloins, ribeyes, T-Bones, and prime rib, grilled to perfection over open pit mesquite grills. There's also great home cooking favorites like Chicken Fried Steak, Red Beans & Rice, and Beef Stew with Cornbread. Dunston's is nearly as well known for its wide selection of country cookin' as it is for its mesquite broiled steaks.

There are also Daily Specials to choose from. On any given day, you might find Salmon Croquette with Cheese Sauce, Meat Loaf, or Lemon Peppered Orange Roughy. And in addition to these and other great dishes, there's always a steak or two on the daily specials menu.
