I came here with two other people to have a semi- healthy lunch before we enjoyed the day at the state fair. This place definitely reminded me of an old fashioned dinner hall, which I liked! As for the food I got the mesquite grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw, and it was all very good and satisfying.
My only complaint was that the price was kind of high. I understand that fair prices are usually very high, but I still feel like the price was too much at 16 dollars for my ensemble.
Very friendly staff. Was nice to get out of the heat. Food was good.
We planned to eat here after visiting the Texas Discovery Gardens because of it's close proximity. I called ahead since we planned on a large group. They were very accommodating, and reserved tables for us which were set in a charming manner. The food was good and fresh. Prices are like fast food, but the quality is a step above. It's a cool, casual, historic place. We enjoyed it.
Surprisingly decent food. Got the Mushroom Swiss burger with fries and it was awesome. I wish the bun was toasted but the amount of mushrooms was great. The food also came out super fast! By the time I got my drink and sat down it was within the minute that the food came out. Probably the best thing is that all of the veggies and condiments came on a side plate.
Family/kid friendly but also a nice bar area with tables if you are in for a meal! A few TVs for those game days!! PERFECT for when you go to the Texas State Fair! It gives you a break from the hot/cold/rainy crowded day out there ... they accept COUPONS, CASH, and DEBIT/CREDIT cards!! So there's no need to make a whole line to but an extra coupon. A great way to spend the coupons you have left and pay just the extra cash/card!! WAY CHEAPER than anything out there... tasty and award winning food as well! Yum!!!!
It's a historic building that has an interesting history that you can ask about and see the pictures they still have at the stair way!
Super friendly staff!! It's always a must stop for us when we go to the fair!
This is a classic place to eat while at the Texas State Fair. You can get friend food. You can order a burger. The salad bar is your typical iceberg lettuce, pre sliced vegetables, and mass produced salad dressings. The food might be freshly made, but not made fresh, if you know what I mean.
Food prices are good. And it's a good place to get out of the heat.
A Dallas icon. Head to the bar where Bobby Darin treated Pamela Tiffin to a Coke in the 1962 classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical film, "State Fair". The food is only good by Fair standards, but the atmosphere is wonderfully historical.
Great time at the murder mystery show
We visit this restaurant each time we go to the Texas State Fair in Dallas and many times when we go to the Dallas Summer Musicals. The food is always good and very fresh, and the service is fast.
Great place to sit inside the air conditioning and enjoy something other than fried food at the Fair. No coupons required.
