Consistently one of the best food experiences in DFW. We always love taking family and friends for their first time. Excellent service for our large party and the food was well paced. The lamb rigatoni and the short rib (from the current menu) are amazing. And the gumbo is the best anywhere!

This is my third visit to TLC and I love it every time. Lots of delicious options! Also, it’s a scratch kitchen so you can give them a list if sensitivities or allergies when you order and feel comfortable with what’s served.
