    This sure isn't guacamole, despite what the menu at Chet's says.

    Service was abysmal. And the food was pretty awful as well check out this photograph of what they dare call guacamole!! The waiter said I'd made a great choice. This ain't guacamole! Nowhere on Earth would this be considered guacamole. When we questioned it and made it clear we were unhappy with it. The server just left it there.

    Brunch from the bar to go (to eat on my bus ride)!

    I literally stopped in for ten minutes to order some quick food to go before hopping on a Flix bus, but was bummed I didn't have time to stay longer. I loved the Historic vibe (which the Halloween decorations added to) where you feel like the architecture has just as many stories to tell as the patrons. I ordered the sourdough French toast that comes with a fruit cup and a banger sausage. I had great aspirations to try to eat this on a moving bus but it went really well. The char on the sausage was delicious. The sourdough with the sweet jelly and syrup was a good combination and I appreciated the fruit cup to lighten up the meal. While I ate it cooled down later on the bus, everything was still delicious and if I am in that area again, I plan to come in and stay for my next meal.

    Delicious lunch spot! Highly recommend stopping in, the food was delicious and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend the Sweet Spring Salad with grilled chicken, it was perfect and the dressing was perfect! The chips served alongside the burger were also delicious.

    Dining room smells like old damp home or mold. Chairs are covered in green velvet. Bartender took forever to take our order. Then a girl comes in and starts making our order. Almost as if she was late for shift. Drinks are small and over priced. TVs behind bar were on sports not fitting the vibe. I'd pass on this one.

    The food and drinks My goodness. The prices are high just to eat food that is the quality of buying groceries at Walmart and cooking at home. The sweet potato fries are not fresh. The deconstructed pot pie tastes like canned meat with spaghetti-o sauce. The selection is cheese laden to hide the fact that their entrees are not good. The drinks were not good either. The flavors just don't taste cohesive and these are very normal cocktails so there's no reason for them to not be tasty for the price. I could let it all slide if drinks weren't $15 and entrees $30 - $45. It just feels like a scam. Also the tiny plates they set out before the meal were dirty.

    Girls night, drinks in hand and ready to take on the world.

    This was our first time at Chet's. Rebecca and Bryce went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. The velvet chairs made for relaxed vibe. The music was good. Rebecca waited our table and delivered amazing service. Bryce was the bartender and made us some amazing lemon drops, along with our other ordered drinks. The have a passion for old fashioned drinks-such a variety. The food was flavorful with plentiful portion sizes. Service was spectacular. Ask for Rebecca and Bryce if you want your visit extra special and really want a celebration. Cheers Chet's!

    Chet's Truffle Mac n Cheese - must try
    Sarah L.

    Came on a Saturday for a friend's birthday with a rezzy for 6. The first impression is some homeless riff-raff going on outside in the area. Upon walking in, the terrible smell others mention you notice right away by the entrance. We sat and half booth, half awkward large king-like cheap chairs that are not comfy to try to eat in, they are for lounging. Our server was all over the place. She spilled a drink on one of us from the get-go, and had other close similar calls. She also went MIA towards the end of our meal, and would never clean up old plates or cups, so our table remained cluttered and dirty. The food was pretty disappointing: -We ordered truffle fries with zero truffle in sight, they just tasted like plain fries. -The cheese that came with the pretzel was hard. -The rice that came with the shrimp plate was super bland. -Chicken pasta had a weird burnt taste to it and was inedible -Entres took a longgg time to come out. Also, our cocktails were all brought out one by one instead of all together. The Positive was they played decent music, but overall the vibes were just weird. It's like they are trying so hard to be chic and boujee but it's just cheap and ghetto when you really see it. I mean they have USB lights in the restroom with the wires just hanging...It didn't seem like there was any management. A few times someone came out of the kitchen who looked like they might be management, I tried making eye contact so we could get help clearing our table, but they didn't care. Also, we were in a rush to go to a concert, so I had to get up to ask for our check, since she stopped checking in on us when our meals were done. Also they added 20% gratuity which felt like robbery after our service. Apparently it's cheaper if you bring cash but who has that.. Highlight was the Chets old fashion and espresso martini is good so there's that. The brown sugar old fashion is very sweet if that is your jam. I would not return.

    The drinks were very very strong, but the food was just okay compared to what I was expecting. The steak was a little dry but my boyfriend really enjoyed his truffle mac and cheese. Our server was attentive and answered any questions we had.

    Im normally good at picking places with a vibe but I think the experience stopped there with the decor. I ordered the Chicken Masala and what I received was not tasty at all. I didn't even take 2 bites, the thin chicken breasts covered in masala gravy, yellow box rice, and zucchini was left untouched. Ordered an expresso martini with tequila. I was served Kahlua mixed with tequila, the drink had no coffee beans and no sign of coffee if you ask me. Tab was still over $100 bucks and I advised I didn't like my food and nothing was done about it. I don't think I would ever return to this place, not even for happy hour.

    Walking in the scenery was very swanky, but the smell of incense was very overpowering! The waiter was very nice but the wasn't anything to call home about. Priced reasonably

    Pulled pork grilled cheese and Truffle Mac

    - misleading photos with a directionally, unsteady menu + vibe - front of house service was excellent. - Pretzel was fine, sauces were good. Too expensive for what it was. Tasted ballpark-y. - Drinks were fine. A little strong (a positive) - Pulled pork grilled cheese was the standout. Very good, but also, just a grilled cheese with meat to be fair. - Truffle Mac: it would have been great, but I did not like the strong cheddar taste. It didn't help that the cheddar on top wasn't even melted in so it threw everything off. - Did not like how during happy hour: 2 drinks, 2 meals, and a pretzel came out to a $62 lunch

    Friday special.
    Daniel M.

    Called in my order for lunch on Friday. (The day before I had tried to call for order and no one answered). The staff on the phone that took my order was courteous. I decided to get that days special which is a burger. I was asked how I'd like my burger cooked which I thought was a good sign. I was told the food would be ready in about 15 minutes. Arrived around that time frame. Walked in from the door along Market street. The first thing that I noticed immediately was the beautiful wooden interior of the building. Classic downtown West End vibes . This has gone through someones attempt at being upscaled though with a "nice" velvet seating. They tried to add a touch of class everywhere like the design on the tables being a lavish psychedelic paint scheme. There is what looks like could be a private room within the dining hall with books shelves and a nice big couch. There was ample seating both inside and out on their nice patio. While all very "nice" I couldn't help but also notice this foul stench. It's definitely something with the building because I've encountered the same odor when getting food from a neighboring restaurant in the same building. My burger arrived a little while after I arrived. What would be like an additional 10 or so minutes after arriving (I'm rounding up from about 7 or 8 minutes). The to go order was able to be paid for at the hostess booth which was convenient. When I arrived back at work to eat my food I was very impressed by the size of my burger. A very beautiful glistening bun. I opted for the potato chips over the fries. The order came with what I believe is an in house sauce. The chips paired very well with the sauce as a nice option to dip if inclined. The portion of food for the price was insanely good; especially for being downtown. With a cost after tax under 10$ its just such a great deal. Unfortunately, while very well priced, the burgers flavor was lacking. Was it good enough to justify coming back? Hard to say. For just about 5$ more I could get one of my favorite burgers in Dallas just a block away. Definitely plan on coming back to Chets to try some additional things on the menu. The day before when I had called I was bummed they didn't answer because the lunch special was a pot roast grilled cheese sandwich. I've heard the steaks are good too. Chets is a decent addition to the faltering West End and hopefully they can do something about the smell. Flavor of burger too maybe? Or maybe it's just my taste buds and everyone else loves it. Give it a try for yourself ? Or maybe opt for something on the next block. Up to you. I wouldn't say I'd recommend the place at this point. Maybe the pot roast grilled cheese will change my mind.

We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

At one point, our food was delivered while we were outside getting fresh air. The food was also disappointing. The scallops and chicken were extremely salty and lacked flavor, and the chicken was overcooked. When we brought it up, the server did little to address it. To top it off, we saw two large cockroaches around our table, which was especially noticeable in the dark dining room. The cocktails were the highlight, but overall, the service, food, pacing, and cleanliness did not meet expectations. One star. Very disappointing, and I'm not sure I'll be back.

During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

    A Happy Hour Hidden Gem in Dallas!…read more We took a day trip to Dallas to see the circus and decided to pop into a nearby bar for drinks and small bites. Parking was a challenge, but we opted for valet and, at only $10, it was totally worth it!
