Best Family Style Restaurants in Carrollton

Wonderful food and service. Will definitely be back!

Four of us had dinner at Radici this weekend for the first time and the food was fantastic! We started with the focaccia, meatballs and scampi. I could have made a meal out of the scampi broth, just outstanding. Our main entrees included a pork chop, several pasta dishes and the roasted carrots. Again, the food was amazing and we look forward to returning! Our waiter shared that the menu was seasonal so I look forward to trying new dishes. My only critique would be around the beverage service. It was a Saturday night so the restaurant was busy, but it appeared there were two bartenders, but drink service was very slow. Even just ordering a simple glass of prosecco took longer than expected. We ordered a bottle of wine and asked for it to be decanted. Typically, a restaurant will present the bottle of wine for you, decant it in front of you, or at least tell you they are taking it away to decant it. Instead of that, the bartender brought us the wine already decanted but never showed us the bottle. My husband had to request to see the bottle, which they happily brought to our table, but just not the beverage service that we were expected. But this won't stop us from returning! Just something that we hope they improve upon.

Now if you ever get to experience dining with Maggiano’s - Willow Bend , please do ask for Alvin. He was so attentive, prompt, efficient & made our experience dining at Maggiano’s amazing. A very sweet waiter! Maggiano’s chefs you did not disappoint, The staff was amazing & yall moved like clockwork, every waiter and waitress had a smile! Bless y’all’s hearts!

I went here for a Galentines Day Dinner, and I had an amazing experience. The staff was very kind & customer focused. I did get to go to the comedy club which was a very nice experience. I love that you can order food and drinks while you laugh. We dined & ate dinner after the comedy show and the food was amazing. That steak, omg was so juicy & tender. The glazed carrots were delicious. The drinks, wow! I had the Litty Ditty & I could’ve drank them all night if I didn’t have to leave, (and if I wouldn’t have been drunk). I’ll absolutely go back here for either a date night or intimate gathering. They are in a very unique niche of their own when it comes to the restaurant business, I hope this place prospers!

Amazing Food & Incredible Experience! From start to finish, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs and gumbo, and as a self-proclaimed gumbo connoisseur, I can confidently say this was one of the best I’ve had in a long time—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, we went with a family staple: fried chicken. It was everything you want in fried chicken—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The collard greens were packed with flavor, and the shrimp fried rice was a delicious surprise, full of bold and savory notes. To top it all off, my cousin and I enjoyed a few of their specialty cocktails, the Purple Rain was absolutely fantastic. Meeting the chef was a highlight; she was incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even more special. Although I don’t live in Dallas, I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try!
