It's Blueberry Season!

It's Blueberry Season - and that means Lefty's Homemade Blueberry Pie!

Gus and his granddaughters, Lauren and Emma, spent an afternoon filling buckets and buckets of ripe blueberries at a local farm

...just for you.

Happy Summer Everyone!

Adios Club Schmitz

The Papageorge Brothers - Chris and Gus - stopped by for a final burger at the venerable Club Schmitz on Denton Drive today. Club Schmitz was down the street from their father's restaurant, The Golden Nugget, on Harry Hines and they, and their family, have been eating burgers there since the sixties. After 68 years, Club Schmitz stops flipping burgers on May 31. If you'd like to taste an old-fashioned flat, hand pressed burger cooked on a well-seasoned griddle you only have a few days left to step back in time.

Lefty's Authentic Lobster Bisque - It's the Real Deal!

Lefty's Lobster Bisque

Lefty's serves gallons and gallons of Lobster Bisque, and one of the things we've noticed from the uninitiated is that they're not quite sure what a bisque is.

An authentic bisque is "a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned soup of French origin, classically based on a strained broth (coulis) of crustaceans."*

Lefty's Clam Chowder

What bisque isn't - if it's traditional - is a chunky soup like chowder. But if you'd like, order it with Lobster meat for a small charge.

In order to create the perfect bisque, you need fresh vegetables and a high volume of lobster to make the stock. And no one has a higher volume of lobster than Lefty's. Making bisque is a long process of reducing, straining, reducing and straining again, and then finishing off with cream and sherry.

We hope this knowledge of how Lefty's creates their Lobster Bisque, enhances your enjoyment and appreciation of a dish we're extremely proud of.

Howdy, Folks!!!!

Here's something Big Tex would love - Lefty's "Texas State Fair" inspired Corny Dog Shrimp!

Jumbo Shrimp dipped in our Homemade Cornbread Batter, deep-fried and topped with a spicy mustard sauce. 

This weekend at Lefty's!

Thank you to the lovely Lindsey Parija for being our hand model! 

Ask Your Waiter

Everybody eats good at Lefty's and that's why our waiters can help you choose just the right meal to make any lunch or dinner at Lefty's a special occasion. They don't just know the menu, they eat here on a daily basis - tasting specials, sampling wines, dining between shifts.

Here's a recent special the waiters raved about: 

Pan-fried Gulf Snapper with a Chipotle Cornmeal Crust, Topped with Lump Crabmeat, Mango Salsa, and Beurre Blanc. Served with mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes.

Nobody eats better than the Lefty's crew.

Maybe that's why most of them have worked here for 18 years.

Lefty's - Generation After Generation

After 18 years on Addison's competitive Restaurant Row, Lefty's has withstood the test of time. So many people have called Lefty's "our place" that we're now seeing generations of regular customers.

Like these two beauties above. Nyla and Kellis Gary have been regulars since before they were born. They know their way around a lobster and they know a delicious Key Lime Pie when they see one.

They're the daughters of Jennifer and Keith Gary and the granddaughter's of our great friends Rick and Kathey Smith. Three generations of a family that calls Lefty's "our place."

And now...please...give that pie a hand.

Thank you models - Nyla and Kellis. See you at Lefty's!
