When someone had the brilliant idea of opening a Hooters-like breastaurant in the gayborhood, they probably never imagined their cute sign would end up here. Ladies in short shorts and body hugging tops with sports on TV is a fine concept, but way too straight for the area. Needless to say, the Honey Shack didn’t make a lasting impression on the ‘hood. Nor myself. Or so I thought.
The restaurant is having the last laugh. On my commute from the south of Dallas, I pass this unnamed building on Wintergreen Road that is apparently a graveyard for restaurant signs. The Razzoo’s one has been there a while (did those all close?), but I noticed an additional sign a few days ago. Maybe longer, who knows? Life out in the stix (yes, with an “x”) is a blur sometimes.
I went to Honey Shack with colleague John Wright on a whim once. At lunch hour, the place was pretty dead. The nachos I ordered were akin to a salt lick and I never got a tea refill, so I never went back. OK, so I’m kicking a horse while it’s down, but since I never did an official review of the place, I had to get it out of me.
The spot is now home to Lolita’s Mexican Cuisine.
If they would have had guys serving food in tank tops and briefs, or better yet, nothing but jockstraps, they would have made a killing!
Agrees with Lil’ Carl, but at least make some of the guys hairy muscle men with big furry pecs and legs and something big to fill the briefs.
We need a restraunt called Baskets or even Boxes 🙂
How about a restuarant called “Lickin’ Chicken”.
today i drove past a place by love field called “the cockpit” and thought it should be a gay bar.

You’re assuming all gay men and lesbians think like you. Â They don’t.
have you not looked around lately? our neighborhood is becoming straighter every day- when I moved here 8 years ago, you rarely ever saw straight women pushing strollers along the strip, or kids standing on the corner waiting for the school bus – now you see it all the time…so it was only a matter of time that a place like this would try it…thankfully to their demise, but the next one might make it.
I took some lesbian friends there one evening for dinner. The “eye candy” was sadly lacking and the food was mediocre at best. Hooters at least has good Buffalo Wings. My guess is the place just didn’t have a concept or menu.
