We talk about it all the time; we are so fortunate to have so many amazing restaurants and food options in Texas. You can get just about any type of food you want, normally for a decent price, and almost always get a large portion of food. 

And while many Texans don’t care too much about awards or impressing people from New York or California, it’s still awesome to see that one Texas restaurant was just named one of the best in the U.S. by the New York Times.

According to WFAA, the New York Times just released their list of the top 50 restaurants in America earlier this week. While Texas could probably fill out every spot on their list of the top restaurants in the country, it’s great to get any recognition, and it makes me want to try this restaurant that was highlighted.

Which Restaurant Was Named the Best? 

If you’re in the Irving, Texas area you might see if you can have a meal at Simple South. It’s a vegetarian Indian restaurant that is located off 635 in Irving. The restaurant has a large menu with over 200 options. And what’s impressive about this place is that it opened just earlier this year.

If you visit Simple South on a Sunday, you could see wait times of up to three hours. Just remember they are getting this recognition because they are amazing, and everyone wants to try the incredible new restaurant that is getting awards. Be patient, because it seems as though the food is worth the wait.
