Diner Reviews
  • "We were very disappointed with our experience at Victory Tavern. The food was mediocre at best, they got several parts of our order wrong, and on top of that, it was insanely overpriced. For that kind of money, we could've eaten at the best steakhouse in town. Instead, we all left disappointed and still hungry. The best thing it's got going for it is the location, and I'm sure it would be fine for drinks after a game or concert, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for dinner."

  • "Greatest thing they have going is proximity to the AAC."

  • "It was just before the Mavs Playoff game and the place was jammed with fans wanting to eat/drink and get to the game. The staff handled the chaos in a very effecient manner. Very impressive! The lady at the next table dropped a glass that scattered across the isle to out table. The staff was all over the spilt drink and wide spread broken glass in seconds. The mess was cleaned up in less than a minute without any unnecessary distraction. The Valet Crew outside should get some praise as they are cheerfull and start the dining event with a cheerful and energetic attitude. We were in a good mood before we hit the Tavern door thanks to their cheerful attitude. "

  • "After making a reservation to ensure a seat before the concert we were attending later, we were seated, ordered drinks and looked through the menu. It was abbreviated from their standard menu. We wanted something smaller to eat, and asked our server to see the full menu. She told us they didn't offer the full menu on event nights. After she refused to ask the kitchen for an exception, we tried to find something to order. Nothing appealed, and it seemed they were only offering the highest priced items. It seemed they were gouging their patrons somewhat, taking advantage that they were be packed with event-goers. We left and had a delicious dinner nearby. Although we've patronized Victory Tavern often, we won't be back after this experience."

  • "- Dinners arrived on top of apps - salad dressing not on side as requested - 3 steaks all VERY undercooked and cold - "lava" cake room temp and ice cream melted 2nd star is due to the manager taking 10% off! but we won't be back. Lots of other good choices in the area."

  • "First time at VT and most likely the last. Food was only OK for the price paid. Was VERY busy. Granted it before a concert. Had a problem with the food and it was not addressed as it should have been."

  • "Great ambiance with eclectic atmosphere. Great spot for business or time to wind down. Love the appetizers and the meals are plentiful. Salads are always fresh and the desserts are the perfect nightcap. Chefs are top notch."

  • "Great location, food and drinks especially when you are attending an event across the street at the American Airlines Center. Although a little pricey for what you get, the food and selections were good and our server was very attentive."

  • "Great food. Quick service but always LOUD. Not the place to go if you want to have an easy conversation with your guests over a long dinner."

  • "Great place to go prior to concert or any event at AAC. Valet parking $10. Our appetizer was good but salads and entree very disappointing. Drinks and appetizer before a show we will do again."

  • "Ordered the meatloaf and a glass of wine while waiting on teens inside AA Center. Food was very good but the cheapest glass of wine was $12. Service was great."
    Dined on 3/12/2014
  • "The food was good except the cream of aspergas soup was bland. Meatloaf wasn't as good as my mothers, but excellent all the same. The steak/ frites was also excellent. The prices were a bit high for Dallas and the wine and drink prices were more like New York City. The croud was not large, but it was loud"

  • "This is a perfect spot to meet friends to dinner before your Mavs Game, Stars Game or AAC concert. It's got great food. We had Cobb salad which was great and the tomato soup with roasted pulled chicken was the best I have ever had. I also had a Key Lime Martini! Yummy!!!"

  • "We had dinner before the Eagle's concert and had reservations for 7pm. We were seated promptly. We had looked up the dinner menu on-line but when we saw the dinner menu it was different. We were advised they change it for nights that concerts and special events take place. It appeared to everyone in the group that many of the lower priced items had been removed but we were told the only items removed were ones that take longer to fix. However, I am not sure how long it takes to fix fish and chips. The service started out great but later faltered. The place is extremely noisy if you are trying to have a conversation. The food was very good and it gave us just enough time to get to the concert. Good place for before AAC activities."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "Directly adjacent to AAC, the location is the draw. Food's not bad, but Dinner Menu no longer includes filet or burger. Service was good. Our table for four was up against a glass exterior wall, and air conditioning was a little uncomfortable for mid-February. Can't recommend it, other than the fact it's a decent meal, and just so easy to get in and out of before a concert or sporting event. I recommend reservations...on the night we went, those without waited ninety minutes."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "The valet was not complimentary or based upon tips. We walked in and waited a good minute for the host to finish her conversation with the bartender to assist us to our table. Great looking bar and restaurant with nice environment. The waiter came over five minutes later and ask for our drink order and left after he only got my girlfriend's, forgot to ask me. Then we ordered a appetizer once she got her drink and he came back ten minutes later to ask how it is and didn't realize, he forgot to get it. Got our appetizer a while later and had half of it, ask for the check and the waiter never came back to get my credit card. Ask the host if she could take care of it. Terrible place to eat in Dallas. Honestly it was very disappointing."

  • "While looking for a local place to eat prior to a concert, Open Table recommended Victory Tavern. With favorable reviews, it was worth a shot. Excellent and easy reservation for shortly after opening time (5pm). Large, friendly crowd waiting to be let in was fun and energetic. Service from the greeting to the departure was well above par and very appreciated. Food service was quick and complete including a special vegetarian plate for my girlfriend. Who knew you could grill creamed corn and shred brussel sprouts in them, adding to the mystique instead of detracting from the combination. All well done and definitely worth a return visit (or more)."

  • "Our reservations were at 5pm when they opened. We were seated upstairs, which is out of the way and quieter than on the main floor. Our server was very attentive as was the "assistant waiter" who kept our tea glasses full. The food was very good and plenty. I had the flat iron steak and it was bigger than I anticipated. My wife had the rainbow trout and she was quite pleased."

    Dined on 2/9/2014
  • "We ate dinner at Victory Tavern just before a concert at the American Airlines Center and I have to say it was the perfect way to start the evening. If you're going before an event be sure to make a reservation, it was very crowded. We arrive right on time and they seated us immediately. There were 2 of us and they seated us at a really small table, we and the people around us actually had to scoot the tables aside to get in or out of our seats! The service was very fast, I'd say maybe a little too fast. I think they may have been hoping to turn our table again before the show but once our server realized that we weren't in a hurry she slowed down and we never felt rushed. The food was excellent, we'll definitely be back."

    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Service was fine. Food was not great for what you pay for. Salad had little to no leaf, only stalk. Way too much dressing. Blood orange margarita, advertised as "fruity" was bitter with no other flavor. Over $20 for one 2 inch diameter crab cake which was flavorless. Would not describe sound level as "energetic" but simply "too loud for conversation" even far away from the bar. Would not recommend."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Can't think of a think that went wrong. Service was amazing. Server recommendations were spot on. The upstairs dining area give a whole different element to the place! Every food item was amazing!"
