The Last Word: Group Behind Flower Child and The Henry Opens Doughbird in Dallas’ Inwood Village
by David Seeley | Sep 9, 2024
Doughbird, a new restaurant from Phoenix-based Fox Restaurant Concepts, opened Friday in Dallas' Inwood Village near Inwood and Lovers Lane—joining a lineup of Fox's "sister restaurants" in the city including Flower Child, The Henry, Culinary Dropout, and North Italia.

A cozy design scheme is the backdrop for wildly varied dining options—from Detroit-style pizzas to prime rib steak sandwiches to steak frites.

The Austin-based restaurant brand plans to move the location two miles east to 1520 Greenville Avenue in April 2025, according to the Dallas Morning News. Thankfully, the Elvis statue will go along for the ride. And hopefully so will the hubcap ceiling, the pet photo wall, and the countless art works and sculptures that make this spot special.
