Known for their impressive collection of more than 5,000 wines, Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Dallas is a holy grail destination for meat and red wine lovers, but seafood and white wine lovers will also be happy here. Appetizers like Spanish octopus carpaccio, fried oysters, and chilled jumbo shrimp served in lettuce cups pair perfectly with the extensive wine list curated by wine director Steven McDonald, who is a Master Sommelier. It’s important to note that more than half of his staff have earned master or advanced wine certifications. Carnivores have 12 cuts and sizes of steak to choose from while seafood aficionados can enjoy live Maine lobster and jumbo lump crabmeat macaroni and cheese.
