I’ve been here twice, because of two things. 1) a dog friendly patio. And 2) a chicken fried steak and baked potato that is worthy of being a bucket list item.
They call it a Tom Green County CFS.
I don’t care what you call it. Just ring the dinner bell and I’ll come running. It is, quite simply put, the best CFS I have ever eaten.
The seasoning is very well done and concentrated a bit toward the gravy. Very well done.
The $2.00 upgrade for a baked potato is well worth it. They arrive fully loaded, and so big that they actually have been assigned their own ZIP Code by the USPS.
Amazining meal, atmosphere, and while I have seen some complaints about service, I have not had any issues. My service has been good both times I went there.
I have no complaints, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I get to craving for a CFS.
This is a no brainer. Pete serves up a great menu with variety to the point you could have a different meal everyday out of the week. The atmosphere is visual yet cozy and quite entertaining. You never know who you’ll run into at St Pete’s. Most the time Pete himself. Great place to have a cocktail and the pasta and calamari are awesome!
I am simply amazed with the weird menu and its incredible flavor. Everything was fresh no corners cut. Service was beyond my expectations. Ask question before ordering, everything is made a little different. Portions are great and you will love the beer selection and price. The place is what you expect from a Texas place. Great job guys
We dined here on 15 SEP 2023.
Absolutely amazing food. Great menu with a lot of choices. Easy to find something you like - hard to choose which dish to eat because there are so many love dishes.
The server this day was a little reserved at first but opened up after a short while. Nice and professional.
The place is also interesting - nicely decorated with a lot of fun and interesting stuff.
They also got beer, wines and cocktails.
What’s not to like about this place.
Definitely a place to come back to. One of our favourite restaurants in Deep Ellum.
A Dallas staple for 20 plus years. If you give this place less than 5 stars you should have your privileges revoked. If this place wasn't in Deep Ellum it would be packed every night.
Food is all quality here and the bar is very extensive. Pictured is the Chicken Fried Tuna Steak sandwich. If you like tuna, you're gonna fall out of your chair after you taste this thing. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. And it's huge too!
The atmosphere is so on point here as well. It has all the feels you want in a down home, relaxed restaurant/bar. So casual and always friendly.
Don't let this place fade away Dallas! Stop in and give it the love it's given us for decades!
Fun place, eclectic decor all over. Relaxed, casual, good for groups. Large menu, not just your typical bar food. Food was decent. I tried the cornmeal crusted catfish which was pretty good, tater tots with it were good. Decent wings on the apps menu. The steak fingers not so good - just a weird dish but my partner was curious to try them. The skinny margarita (aka doesn’t have all the simple syrup or sweet and sour mix) was actually quite good, enjoyed that. Not necessarily a place I would be craving to come back for the food but I heard their catering food is great but I would come back for the atmosphere or if you’re with people who are picky eaters and prefer something simple.
Kinda cool spot in Deep Ellum with a funky vibe. I only had an appetizer and beer. Had the wings, which were great. There were 10 to 12 in our party, and the assortment of food all looked appetizing, and I heard no complaints. All compliments regarding the food..suggest you visit.
Absolutely love this place! One of my all time favorite burgers & the best fried pickles. Everything on their menu is always delicious & they offer pretty much any type of food you’d be looking for! I love the character & hospitality of their staff. I wish I would have come here sooner, but am so glad I’ve found such a gem! Don’t miss out on this place!!
I love this restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is excellent.
What a fun place. My wife and I were in Dallas and decided to go out to Deep Ellum. We came across the Dancing Marlin. The atmosphere is cozy and the decorations are very eclectic. Apparently they are known for their seafood. I had the Chicken Fried Tuna and my my wife had the Tuna Tacos. At first I was a little leary about fried tuna steak. Wow! It was great. I was concerned that it would be over cooked and dried out. Thus was not the case. The steak was crispy on the outside and moist and pink in the middle. Great! The fish Tacos were also very tasty. The fish in the Tacos were also very moist and cooked perfectly. This is a fun place to visit.
really is Dallas' best kept secret. one of a kind spot with stellar service & grub. lots of TX brews on tap. Thanks Pete, Rex, and Travis!
Love this place. Had a great experience here. Customer service A+. Food was good - chicken fried steak strips, chicken fried tuna, lasagna- try those first. Huge beer selection. New local family favorite.
