We come here often. I am a little embarrassed by how much we have been here, honestly. I promise I'm not an alcoholic. We like this place because it's close, has a ton of tvs, a ton of beers on tap, and great food. Not great food "for a bar", but great food as a restaurant. I love the beer menu because they aren't the "we have 50 beers but they're in bottles" type of place. They actually serve them as drafts, and most of the craft beers are $5-7. Call me a Dallas girl, but that's pretty cheap. They could serve them colder, but beggars can't be choosers. We have ordered the queso, the nachos, a hamburger, chicken fingers, fried jalapenos, etc. Everything has been good. They have a wide array of food, and it's not just limited to your typical bar food. They have what you'd expect from an american food restaurant with a twist. Not quite gastropub since the twist is not insane, and the serving sizes are pretty large. Give it a shot if you're in the area. They have a patio, (it does overlook the parking lot and allow smoking) but it has TVs and is completely covered and blocked by screens. read more

I ordered classic and Cajun catfish this being the worst of both classic fried catfish was so bland it had no taste and Cajun wasn't Cajun at all just had Cajun dust all over it that made it very salty. So if your looking for good catfish this is not the place. But their Philly cheesesteak is so delicious I can eat it everyday. I hate I spent money on those 2 orders of fish and should've stayed with what I knew was delicious. read more

Service was awful. Came in about 3. Had one beer. Sat and waited and waited was going to order another drink and food and after 30 minutes still no one came back. Finally someone came. But was over it and left. Lewisville is the best location to go too. The colony location is horrible. Menus are torn up. Table was sticky.just no passion or leadership here. read more

thoroughly unimpressed with this joint. i've been here a few times and i feel like things are getting worse. the last time that i went, they didn't have ANY drafts. I guess their taps were out for some reason. so we just had cans, bottles, and the bar to choose from. waitress didn't know the menu and couldn't answer questions about what they had. tv's are everywhere, but a lot of them have lines or dead pixels and the games that are showing are random. when i was there last, there were a bunch of new stations, and the one at the table we were sitting at was golf. i. hate. golf. bartenders/waitress barely came by to clear/take orders and it was just a disappointing outing altogether. also, my friend likes to bully the jukebox, however the jukebox doesn't show how many songs are in queue nor does it give you the option to skip ahead. read more

Came here as a group of 6 on a Saturday game night. Found a table upstairs, although the place was pretty full. We waited 15 minutes and still no waitress, so someone from our table went downstairs to ask for service. A few minutes later a waitress came up to take our drink and food order, she was polite. Then for the next 20 minutes we watched from the balcony the bad behavior happening at the bar, waiting for our drinks. The bartenders were taking shots with customers and one bartender was hand-feeding a customer, flirting. It was obvious to our entire group that no one took their job seriously here, and service was not important. We got our food about an hour after arriving, and it was mediocre. Then it took 30 minutes for our credit cards to be run. We love the many TV screens here, but definitely not worth coming back. Needs new management. read more

We order takeout from this place quite often, and they NEVER disappoint! I order to go always knowing the fact that the food presentation quality might not be the same as a dine in. Drunken Donkey always shocks me on how they present their to go food! It looks appetizing and looks aesthetically pleasing as well. And the taste is fantastic!! We got the country fried chicken and the smothered chicken this time, nothing negative to say! read more

Came in on the 4th of the July, middle of the day. Never been here but it's a great little spot. Tons of tvs and beers on tap. Not a big beer guy but tried a beer flight ($12). Great service and tons of options. Also, they have Hawaii longboard, just came back from Hawaii and I think that's a good choice. Also got 3 other options that weren't bad. Again, since I'm not a beer guy I'm not going to be a big judge on them. Good spot, we will be back. read more

What sold me was the ambience. It's rare to go anywhere these days and feel the machismo. Sometimes you just need to drink and shoot the breeze without worry of political correctness. Dallas Craft was exactly this for me. Dozens of craft beers, but the waitstaff doesn't shove them down your throat like some places. The waitresses were all on point with the service and seemed to know the regulars by name. They were all pretty cute too and were dressed in Halloween outfits which was cool. The drinks were 6-count plus (for the liquor drinkers) and the wings were awesome; I got lemon pepper and blackened something (Stacy suggested). There was a jukebox in the corner somewhere, playing 80 and 90s rock type music. The crowd was mixed, but predominantly guys other than the staff. It kinda had that twin peaks with a more grown up feel to it. The food was great. This was my experience on Friday at happy hour. Not sure about any other night so I didn't get to try out any of the specials. I recommend Dallas Craft. read more

Stopped during the Pats / Titan Playoff games so not sure if this is their regular crowd. They have 30 TVs, over 100 craft beers, a full bar, good food and service in the upstairs lounge section where we sat. College like atmosphere, lively, loud, foul mouthed set of customers at the bar who affected our experience and not addressed by management. This seems to be a good place to have the best night of your life that you will NEVER remember. If you still wear your ball cap backwards or looking to rekindle your "frat-days" then this is the place for you! 25 years ago, I may have given them 5 stars, but I can't do it today. Skyler did an excellent job with service, TVs everywhere and the pretzel is hugh...even with the photo bombs...sigh! read more

Awesome!! Server was fun & atmosphere was perfect for our work friends! A lot of beer options too! Score

Don't patronize this establishment! Food is awful service was acceptable but doesn't make up for the lack of acceptable food

2 stars only for the crawfish and our sweet server Bridget! We had a few small issues here and there... beer was flat... corn and potatoes were under and over cooked... we brought this to the attention of the "manager" Alex... who proceeded to do nothing but say we're sorry for the miscommunication... when we had one bite of the soggy disgusting corn we set it on the edge of the table, told our sweet server we weren't going to eat them she said I'll talk to the manager I am so sorry! (Not her fault at all) after time went by she came back and told us her manager wouldn't take it off because he wouldn't take her word for it... As someone who works in the service industry and was with people who are also in the industry I am disgusted at the way this manager treats his employees and customers. I have seen him standing at the server well for the past 45 minutes doing nothing but talking to one regular and staring at the servers who walk by. We had good food, ok beer and a very sweet server but Alex your "manager" is the reason we will not be back. read more

came tonight.. server named McKenna was amazing.. they were out of several liquors and beers but she maintained a positive attitude.. we were a large group so there was some confusion with checks and McKenna was trying to figure it out but at closing time the "manager" very rudely told us to leave. we insisted on taking care of our server and the manager got even more rude. arguing with us and telling us to leave without paying our check despite all we wanted to do was take care of McKenna. just a wild end to a night from the "manager" read more

This place is packed on a Friday night! By packed, I mean we had to share a table with someone. Also I did find parking near the preschool located in the area. They have a nice patio area too which gets full fast. This place is 2 levels but maximum capacity seems 150 (inside). The waiter and even customers are nice. A girl commented on how pretty I was, thanks honey! I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/ fries. Boy was it huge! I had never thought I couldnt finish a meal but they had me beat! Definitely worth it. Food came out quickly and tasted great. I would be back, especially with friends!! Im their 100th reviewer, yay! read more

Love this place!!! They have a fantastic patio, and the food is amazing! It's not your typical bar food...definitely a gastro pub. I had the mahi mahi salad, which was amazing. The fish was cooked perfectly. Ashley C was our server, and she was friendly and so attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

I had this place bookmarked and I had some time to check it out. Walking in, first impression....wow, holy beer wall. There is every kind beer almost known to man in this place and TVs covered almost all part of the walls. I was greeted a few minutes after walking in, and was seat at a table, in the center of the place, on the first floor. Place was not as pack, as I thought it would be. I sampled a couple of beers, however paid full price for them. Let me explain..... The beer size was about 5 to 6 oz.....misleading, since the place has "drunken" in its name, maybe I was the "ass"...I mean donkey....for paying full price, for half the size of a full beer in other bars. I order hot wings, which where very good, this help even out the experience. My server was very helpful and attentive. If your looking for a place to have a small drink and catch up on your sports, this is the place. read more

I wasn't expecting much while we are driving to this place. I was very surprised when I get there. It was busy and really lively. 126 beers on draft and more in bottles. You have to be a beer connoisseur to know what you're getting. Well, not really because the waitstaff is helpful and knowledgeable about their product. They would let you taste test the beer first before getting a pint because on the menu there's a fine print which says "all beer sales are final" we would comeback to try the food next time and that would maybe add another or two stars. read more

It was my first time and I loved it. They had a lot of good beers on tap and Big Daddy was amazing!!!

When we walked in, the music was pretty loud, so don't expect to have a great conversation with your partner. Overall, great sports bar, decent selection of craft beers. They don't brew their own, but have a large selection on draft and bottle. The wait staff is fantastic and very attentive. Allowed us to sample many of their craft beers. Food was better than we expected, not just your normal bar food. We had the wings and they were probably some of the best we have had. All the other food around us looked great. We will be coming back for sure. If you don't mind some loud music, (and some louder patrons) this is a nice neighborhood bar! read more

Crawfish was fresh and very tasty! They need to work on the corn, which was sub-par. Service was okay when we finally flagged a waitress down. Overall the food was good and we will go again before the crawfish season is over. read more

3rd time coming to the donkey. Immediately ran into a situation that was literally IMPOSSIBLE for myself, my small crew, or a server/bartender couldn't handle. A female we met feel asleep at our table with her friends. Her friends asked us to pick her up & take her to the car to sleep, while they come back & sit with us. "NOPE" we told management "Josh" handled this situation with the utmost professionalism. I was a craps dealer in Vegas & have seen the craziest situationships front & center. "Josh" literally gets all the praises & medals for how he handled the situation. read more

It was our first visit and our waitress took the time to answer all our questions. The food wad really good, I had smothered chicken and my husband had crayfish. They have agood beer selection and they had a bloody mary special and I had several. read more

So we ordered a Reuben sandwich and a cheeseburger with bbq sauce and it was perfection.

The food and service were amazing. We went in to eat as we were waiting on a tow truck. Our waitress was so great. Very informative about the food and super friendly. Unfortunately I have forgotten her name. I had the roasted half chicken with pepper, lemon and rosemary and mashed potatoes with white gravy. Let me just say that the chicken skin was so crispy and it was heavenly. Even high-end restaurants I've been to don't get the skin this crispy. The waitress recommended the white gravy even though i usually order the brown. She brought me both on the side and I ended up smothering my potatoes with the white! My husband has the smothered chicken which he also thought was great. We will definitely be coming back to try more menu items! read more

Great service! Super sweet girls and fun environment! Drinks were delicious and fast! Bacon thingies were sooooo tasty! Another chicken was AMAZING! Will come here again! read more

Stopped by here after a beautiful round of golf. Fell in love with the place instantly due to the amazing selection of craft beers they have on tap. They have a really nice (bar type) of decor and the walls are covered in HUGE televisions so you can't miss a moment of any game you are there to watch. They probably have around 200 different types of beer to try (draft/bottle). I am looking forward to my next trip here so I can put a few more notches in my belt. The only food I tried were the buffalo fries. This is the only reason I left one star off since I didn't really try any of their entrees (or food for that matter) besides their fries, which were quite tasty. Service was decent, I don't think our waitress knew a whole lot about beer, but that is ok. I just enjoy being able to talk to a fellow beer snob about which beers are a must. read more

Amazing service and delicious options for food. Fun and entertaining bar mixed in as well.

Food is tasteless, but the service was beyond unacceptable. We chased any waitress we could get just to order, get our drinks, then get the forgotten drinks, and worst of all, it took a full 60 minutes for our checks to be rang after giving our credit cards. Meanwhile, we watched the bartenders take shots with customers and feed them chips from behind the bar. If you're looking to eat or drink anything here, look elsewhere. read more

Philly was great. However the Jalapeno Bottle Caps had next to zero batter on them, not sure what was up with that. It was basically like eating shriveled up little jalapenos, and for $8.99 not impressed. The service was really good, greeted when I entered and waitress was attentive. read more

The worst place in the colony for after hours. bartender had no clue what vodkas were considered "good" she actually couldn't tell me what she had on hand. and then when i asked her to bring me the house with sprite and my friend arrived she had the nerve to come over and ask me if i had a problem, yes i do, you had zero smile on your face, you don't know your product, your hair and nails are a health code violation, and then you come up to me and ask me if i have a problem, yes ma'am i do, I am a GM at a restaurant and i'd fire you in a heat beat. zero stars if i could give it to you. read more

Do not go here. They don't serve people who are 22 years old. "Company policy." Horrible experience do not recommend.

I'm not sure what the negative reviews are all about. Just be nice to your waitstaff and they'll take care of you. Every time I've been here the waitresses have been phenomenal. The food is great. Beer selection amazing. TVs everywhere. AND A BEER PONG ARCADE GAME!!!!! Winning. read more

Small place but they definitely make the most of the space. There are TV's everywhere! Making it impossible for there to be a "bad seat" for viewing any and all sporting event. They have the normal good bar food, a great selection of beer on tap and the atmosphere is super friendly. read more

We've been to another location before when it was "Drunken Donkey" and always enjoyed their food. However, my husband ordered the Mahi here and this is how it came out . Not even close to being cooked! Odd part was the server and manager didn't seem surprised by it at all, they did refund the Mahi and bought him a beer though. We had their nachos and a friend and a cheeseburger which both were good. Needless to say though we will not be ordering the Mahi again! read more
