I'll go first. These are my unpopular DFW opinions. Bring the heat.
-
Pecan Lodge is overrated. It's good BBQ, not great BBQ. The line and the price don't match the product. Cattleack and Goldee's are better.
-
Fort Worth is a better city to live in than Dallas. The pace of life, the arts, the friendliness, and the cost. Dallas has more stuff but Fort Worth has better vibes.
-
DART is actually decent if you live near a line. I take the Red Line from Plano to downtown Dallas regularly. 35 minutes, no traffic, $2.50. People trash DART because they want it to go everywhere, but where it goes, it works.
-
Uptown is boring. There. I said it. It's clean, it's safe, it's full of chain restaurants and generic sports bars. The interesting stuff is in Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Oak Cliff, and Fort Worth.
-
DFW winter is actually nice. Mild temps, occasional cold snaps, rarely need a real winter coat. People who complain about "missing seasons" are romanticizing shoveling snow at 6 AM.
-
NorthPark Mall is the best mall in America. The architecture, the art collection, the stores. It's genuinely a cultural destination.
What are YOUR unpopular DFW opinions?
NorthPark being the best mall in America is correct. The permanent art installations alone make it worth visiting. Most people walk past literal museum-quality art without looking up.
