A Christmas tradition for me and my family! Very e joyable experience. Typically I get the famous pork chop however the Prime Rib caught my eye. The prime rib was well cooked (med rare). I will say I was expecting some Smoked flavor however the prime rib had an extreme smoked taste which was overpowering. I ate around most of the char, but in my opinion and those of a couple of us, you should cut back on the smoke preparation for the prime rib. We will definitely return and I will definitely return to the pork chop selection! Thank you for a wonderful Christmas Eve meal/tradition. Michael Oney

This was the best steak dinner I have ever had. And that’s saying something when I think about all of the places I have been. We ordered three different steaks each cooked at three different temperatures. They all came out together, at the perfect temperature. This is NOT easy to do! The taste was incredible- juicy, perfect color with just a hint of woody flavor. Not too salty. Our server Brandi was amazing, attentive but not over bearing. We engaged in polite conversation and her sides and dessert recommendations were spot on. I would highly recommend Town Hearth if ever you’re in Dallas! You won’t be disappointed!
