    Donkey Balls
    Shanay H.

    MUST ASK FOR NICOLE AS YOUR SERVER!!! Nicole was awesome she even remembered us when we came back weeks later. When I say remember...I mean remember REMEMBER! She remembered our drink orders from weeks ago and our food orders. I haven't seen such great service in a really long time. When it comes to the food I must say the TENDERS, FRIES, PICKLES, MEATBALLS, and PHILLY...were great! The only food item that we tried that we didn't really like was the fried catfish bites/pieces. I am not sure if it was really catfish or some other fish and the pieces are so thin that it was mostly beading. While Nicole IS always AMAZING! Not everyone else at this place is as attentive or friendly. So calibrate your expectations. Some of the servers and rude and very dismissive. They clearly have their usual customers who they cater to and ignore other guests.

    Where there is beer, I'll be near! Always on a beer trek, I found this place whilst out and about shopping one day. This was the nearest brewery that night. Pretty dark setting but not quite dive bar vibes. Nice variety of beer to choose from and the bartenders were all very nice as well. Well put together establishment for sure.

    Donkey Philly

    Gosh, only giving it 3 stars as the food was 10/10 and I'm picky on a Philly.. the chef does not match the rest of the place. We're always down for a new dive bar but this place is a no. Staff was fine, our server was nice enough. They desperately need a remodel (or at least new chair coverings) and they good use a solid drink menu as they'd likely sell more cocktails. We had high hopes but we won't be going back(but I'd order that Philly to go!!)

    Big selection of craft to include a few sours. Large portions for the flights. Bartender was very efficient and was alone for most the time we were there. Did an amazing job for those at the bar and us at a table.

    Fish and Chips

    I last visited this place during their brief name change. Unfortunately, the service was not as remarkable as that visit. Although I was sitting at the bar tended by three employees, the service was still slow. One bartender somehow failed to see that I wanted the check yet serviced the woman standing behind me. Fortunately, another employee clearly saw that I was ready to leave. The fish & chips were okay. The two pieces of fish were large and tender, but I was very thankful for the tartar sauce. Chips were interesting as they had spices applied to them because they had an interesting taste In addition to being crunchy. As for the drink, I enjoyed the Sam Adams Oktoberfest (#46). Then again, I have never disliked anything from Sam Adams.

    My husband and I just moved to this area and came here to try it out. The food was amazing. We had the donkey balls and big a$$ nachos. We subbed the chips for FF and it was soooo good. Our bartender was really chill he was the PM bartender on Monday. (Forgot the name, sorry) We will definitely come back. The ambience of the place was great as well.

    Drunken Donkey came in clutch after hours of driving around to find a seat on New Years Day. Everywhere we went was crowded due to college football bowl games. Low-key, ducked off " in the cuts" as the young people say, this little restaurant-bar had a full bar and medium size menu of wings, fries, burgers, entrees, and any other food typically found at a bar. Nothing gourmet but still tasty. This place saved the day! Clutch performance! Also, thank you to our wonderful servers, Nicole and Kaitlyn M.

    A nice sports bar and grill to enjoy ti get out with friends. Has full bar but ran out of Michelob beer and Miller beer before midnight. Also had limited amount of pineapple juice and Cranberry juice for alcohol. Has a huge variety of beers to enjoy but no cocktail list to choose from. The BLT sandwich and fish tacos were good as well as the fries. Not enough green beans served as a side. You have indoor and outdoor seating with tvs to watch. My server, Vee, was very nice, detailed and efficient in serving us. She made me feel very welcome and was very attentive to our needs. She highly suggested the bacon thingies for an appetizer. Would definitely go back only due to her customer service. Thank you Vee for making me enjoy my night out.

    Boneless, half Chipotle BBQ and half Donkey Gold

    I miss the Drunken Donkey in Keller, so when I have an occasion to be near The Colony location, I try to make time to visit. This visit was a weekday afternoon, so not the same buzz as my prior visits, but the bar was still pretty full. My son and I recalled that the boneless wings were large chicken tenders, so we split 12, and got 1/2 Chipotle BBQ and 1/2 Donkey Gold (Mustard-based). As always, the chicken is meaty and tender and the breading is lightly crunchy and the sauces really flavorful! They will also toss the fries in any sauce you choose, so I got my order tossed in Sweet Red Chili. All told, this is my favorite place for wings in the Metro! The service was very good and there are plenty of TV screens to watch your sporting event of choice. If you haven't been, be sure to give the Drunken Donkey a try!

    First off.. Service is amazing! Super nice and helpful and fast! But food... man it sucks... Its like when you are in 5th grade and you go to a camp and get the cafeteria food. I came here to give it a try because they had a deal going on where if you buy a drink, ur meal would be 1 dollar. Pretty great deal but once u get ur food man.. Bbq chicken was tough like jerky.. mac and cheese was pasta in nacho cheese... Chicken fried steak.. tough bland and soggy chicken steak.. Soggy and thick breaded fish and chips.. fries looked like it was so old... Looking at the prices, i would NOT pay 14 to 15 bucks for this tbh.. 1 dollar sure but even then it was bad.. Im so disappointed because service was so great but man the food... Its a place to drink but idk about food.

    Went twice for lunch while in town for work since it was walking distance from our hotel. Both times our waitresses were awesome! The "bacon thingies" were sooo good! Definitely a good spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat!

I chose a great day to visit due to the fact it's opening day for the World Cup. The Colony location provided a great atmosphere and opportunity to cheer on Mexico defeating South Africa 2-0. The crowd definitely heavily favored Mexico. The place was packed a testimony to the quality service you will receive there. My server was Madelynn and she couldn't have been better. I wanted to get in early to get a spot since I'm visiting from Florida. I wasn't sure how quickly it would fill up. Madelynn was exceptional and very attentive. She made great recommendations and told me about their Dos Equis contest. I drank a few to help out her sales. I never had to ask for anything and her menu knowledge was great. She's got a spectacular look and should be a great brand ambassador for the company. I recently purchased a Rowdy Cowboy 2026 calendar on this trip and hope to see her in next years edition. She's going to be a great promotional girl. Thank you Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida

    Rowdy Cowboy is a sports bar/restaurant in The Colony known for its great service and atmosphere…read more This is the second location in North Texas, and while the service was similar as the OG in Grapevine, it's not as great of an experience. My Overall Rating - 2 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food); 5 Stars if all you care about is the service. Atmosphere - The design is almost identical to the OG location in Grapevine. There's a large bar in the middle of the restaurant (sit here for the best service). There's even a lit "SADDLE UP" sign on the wall. But The Colony location didn't seem to be as packed as Grapevine, but it was still full of good vibes. 1 Star Service - The service at Rowdy Cowboy is legendary. If you (or a good friend) have chosen to eat here, then you know the service is amazing. If you sit at the bar, your bartender is your server. I've sat at the bar and at a table, and IMO the service at the bar is the best. 1 Star. Food - On this visit, I decided to order the daily special "Medallion Mondays". The description was a steak medallion with sides. Unfortunately, it was a very small portion. Now, it was perfectly grilled and very tender, it was just small. It wasn't enough to satisfy me, so I ordered ice cream for dessert. Thank goodness, this saved my lunch, because the simple vanilla ice cream was served with fried cinnamon chips that would make the State Fair of Texas vendors nervous. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - No. Rowdy Cowboy in The Colony is like 2/3rds of the OG. 2/3 the atmosphere, 2/3 the service, 2/3 the portion sides, etc. I'd rather go back to the Grapevine location.

    Hello, My wife and I…read moreattended our first event yesterday (Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin), and we wanted to take a moment to share what an incredible experience we had. From the moment we stepped off the escalators, every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We had seats in the Hall and were waited on by Madison, who took great care of us right away. Our drinks arrived quickly, and she even brought my wife an extra carafe of tea. Madison also took the time to explain the membership options and all of the benefits that come with being a member. She told us about the several areas throughout the Dome where members can sit that aren't reserved. We were both amazed and thought, "WOW!" We then found a nice spot to sit and enjoy more of the Dome experience. Caroline took care of us there and was just as wonderful. She was extremely attentive, keeping the food and drinks coming quickly while making sure we had everything we needed. We had an absolutely excellent time and will definitely be telling our friends and family that they need to come check it out for themselves. I especially want to recognize Madison and Caroline. Both of them went above and beyond and truly helped make our first experience so enjoyable. Your staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and that really stood out to us.

It's like ordering McDonalds and taking it home 15 minutes away and then blaming them for the food to be cold. Food changes after it's prepared. I'm not saying they aren't pointing out the obvious cooking flaws but geez... Anyway, from someone who eats out a lot and cooks very well I would suggest giving them a shot if you have never been there. Just maybe don't do take out for your first visit?
