From the moment we sat down, Teá provided exceptional service. She was attentive, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. She also did a great job recommending and upselling the $5 Happy Hour well drinks, which were a fantastic value and definitely worth trying. I also want to recognize Tom, who helped make the experience even better. He consistently checked on our table, kept the dining area clean, brought out our food promptly, and never let our water glasses get empty. It's always refreshing to visit a restaurant where the staff genuinely works together to create a great guest experience. Between the friendly service, attention to detail, and overall hospitality, Life's Good Bar & Grill earned a repeat customer. I'll definitely be back. read more

Life’s Good Bar & Grill - Inside, Beef Quesadilla - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

honestly the drinks were fine but when we walked in we asked for a drink menu and wouldn't get one. then asked for a certain drink to be made and told they can't make one. THEN a different guy came over to help us and handed us a drink menu and made the drink we asked to be made. we were gobsmacked. it's only 9pm. probably a cool place if it weren't for the first guy. weird energy for no reason. read more

25% automatic gratuity, that isn't printed, posted or mentioned anywhere. Lost our business forever, over a few dollars. read more

good for late night eats but nothing extraordinary. don't expect anything to blow you away (my burger was oversalted) but not the worst I've had read more

Our first time here. We came here for bar, sports and pario. All delivered on a nice day. Service is nice but slow, seem unde staffed. I went up to the bar to grab our whole group drinks multiple times and still got charged gratuity. I will tip but I worked more then the staff to get my own drinks. Maybe there slow bc they charge gratuity, which is BS! read more

the burgers and vibes were 10/10. Definitely will be back. Shoutout Tom for the being the best server

If I could give half ratings, it would be a 2.5. Parking: surrounding businesses have signs that warn you not to park there unless you're their customer (or get towed). Lucked up on two parking spots on the side of the restaurant. Staff: could stand to be friendlier. They ID you at the front. Bouncer was ok. Waitress near the bar seemed like she didn't want to be bothered too much. The lady who came to check on us was very nice. I liked her. She made sure we got the drinks we needed (but after that we didn't see her). Music was super loud. There's pool. Games on certain tables. Food: meh. My friend got some kind of hot dog. Bread was hard. Chili tasted canned. Hot dog looked funny. She did NOT force herself to eat that. Fries and tots are a la carte at $4 extra. I got a cheeseburger bc they advertise it as being the best. I am a cheeseburger SNOB so I had to try it. It was an alright burger. They burned my bun... 3.5/5. Not in my top ten. Fries tasted freezer burnt. After the food, we just left. It was too loud to hear each other. 25% automatic gratuity is insane. Even my friend went to the bar to get a cider. Charged gratuity. The website you check out on even leads you directly to the additional tip page. If you're not observant, you'd tip twice.... Taking the order, you do yourself from a QR code registered to that table number. It's only one check. The card you put in doesn't automatically get charged. It is just to secure the order. No rush to get back... prob wouldn't come back tbh- the determining factor of this is the higher gratuity charge that didn't align with the service, as far as checking in with the table to make sure life's really good. She was very good at first, though! Truly Disappointed in the burger not living up to social media's standards. read more

Bouncer/ security the night of 02/28 very rude to incoming and leaving customers yelling things at them as they enter and leave. Very unpleasant. read more

This is not the best bar it cost me 100 dollars for 3 drinks and 20 dollars for 3 tacos and onions rings. The food is not good at all the tacos taste like store bought had not flavor at all and the onion rings were soggy. They taste like they were old because the only was not fresh. Will not be back to this place. read more

Amazing experience! The burgers are great and the beer is cold! And the vibes, well they were off the charts! A must stop place for anyone in dallas. Huge shoutout to Tom, our server he was amazing! read more

Calvin,Calvin Calvin... thanks bunches dude. Calvin the owner is very much involved with the customers. Was even graced with his mother's beautiful energy! Upon entering the establishment we were greeted and immediately accompanied to our table. Calvin gave us a break down on his food and the why behind it. We actually sat out on the patio to feel the breeze and enjoy the vibe. If you want fresh food, nothing frozen this is the place to be. If you're a foodie and know the difference between organic farm beef and grocery store beef then you know what's up. Steven was so hilarious, he was most def the best server. The burgers are worth the hype, plus my kiddo ate all her food which is rare when we go out. The burgers are fresh, the dressing ( onions, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles all fresh ) I don't think you will be disappointed.. the fries are tasty and the buffalo sauce is bomb. read more

I came on the first Saturday of CFB. Was so excited because this is my favorite patio bar in Dallas and came with a group of people who went to different colleges playing. The owner sits there wearing an Arkansas polo but is refusing to put any CFB game on other than Ole Miss. Claims that he's running an "Ole Miss bar" aka DADDY'S MONEY! Absolute loss of business. People filed out so fast including my group. Noted - not an inclusive college bar. read more

Came to celebrate a birthday. After brunch we came to get a drink and thought this place would be good. Bartender was RUDE and acted like she had no desire to be there. Two in our party ordered Chiltons. Being from Lubbock where this drink was created, we know what a Chilton taste like. Their chiltons were not good. When brought up to the bartender she asked if we even knew what a Chilton even tasted like. 25% gratuity automatically added to the tip. I now can see this is because their service would get them 0 tips. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! read more

Awful service we saw our server once and then never saw her again. Wife went to the bar only to be told that you could order from anyone. We saw one other server twice "maybe" then had to go to the bar to find the bar tender woofing down fries and making TikTok videos. When we closed out there's a %25 gratuity added to all bills, no notification given and I didn't see signs that apparently are posted. Servers didn't mention it, why would they, they have no incentive to give good service because they're getting tipped %25 either way. Lastly this place is way over priced, especially for inconsistent drinks and water down cocktails. $25 for a Jameson and soda is the most ridiculous price I've ever heard of. Speakers on the patio are deafening could have a conversation with screaming. Overall horrible experience and ridiculously overpriced! Won't be back. read more

25% gratuity is absurd. We got our own drinks (high noons) from the outdoor bar and still had the gratuity already added. The bartender eating behind the bar and doing social media videos, but not actually checking on tables does not deserve automatic 25% gratuity. Our friend ordered a Jameson soda and they charged $6 for the soda and i think the Jameson was $18 or $19. So $25 for the drink that took zero skill. Absolutely won't be going back. read more

Really neat sports bar with a large Oklahoma State crowd for college football. Plenty of TV's both indoors and outdoors. Ordered the buffalo wings and they were great. Crispy texture, nice kick, juicy tender wing. Staff is also great, quick service and friendly workers. read more

Worst chicken strips I've ever had. Soggy and cold. Definitely not fried. Most likely microwaved. Beer selection is main stream boring w/ one or two crafts mixed in. Waffle fries were cold and blande. Ventilation is awful. My clothes and hair smell like a grill. read more

Ordered a burger for delivery, it was $16 for a small sized burger. The picture showed fries but there were none included in my actual order. Paying $16 for a basic burger and nothing else is insane. They can just shut down read more

The drinks were over priced and not good at all! $40 for a well margarita and a nasty old fashioned. There was a 25% gratuity for trash! I didn't see this on the receipt until we arrived at a better drink location (Good Friend), when I compared 2 great beers and a delicious old fashioned for $28. We actually came for burgers, per Instagram's recommendation; however, I will pass on this place forever!!! read more

Life’s Good Bar & Grill - An over priced old fashioned in a plastic cup. - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I liked the atmosphere and the staff was friendly, but it was way over priced. We ordered a burger and patty melt with fries and had waters and our bill was $50... they include a 25% gratuity which was crazy to me. I'd maybe consider going back to grab a beer and watch a game, but I would not go to grab dinner again. read more

We love going to Life is Good especially for OSU football games! The owner is exceptionally kind, and the atmosphere is always so fun. I recently had the delicious chicken tenders and fries, and the burger is an absolute standout. I truly love this place! read more

They advertise (heavily) as having the "best burger in dallas" which is self proclaimed. After hearing it, I had to try it annnnd it was very disappointing, likely because they built it up so much. If asked, they should just say our burger is good.. but I don't think it's actually nominated for actual awards in Dallas. It's an okay, dive bar burger. But if you're ranking this style of burger in Dallas, Peak Inn and Keller's win if you're just considering nearby. (If you want an excellent burger, the ozersky at Knife is -~$13 and is incredible but w very fancy vibes. By far the #1 I've had). The drinks are affordable, the patio is great and while the servers are very friendly, the automatic gratuity is high.. so just be mindful. read more

Said it before and I'll say it again, Lifes Good Bar & Grill is A+++. From the quality of the food to the friendly atmosphere, I can't get enough! The owner is always there with a friendly smile and extremely accommodating. I even feel comfortable going solo and just grabbing a table to eat some lunch and grab a couple drinks. I'm not a Dallas sports fan, but catching some Mavs & Stars games there this season has been SO FUN! Will be back this weekend I'm sure of it :) read more

I reallyyy wanted to like this place, but... We went on a Sunday afternoon and had the cheeseburger and the Texas hotdog (both ok). The food was priced fair, $12, $11 with 2 fries at an extra cost. The drink prices were decent (given the bartender didn't have a "heavy" hand). HOWEVER, I am completely disturbed by this "delivery fee" for a dine-in tab. It was whopping 25% of our bill. No one told us about it and I had to ask several follow up questions before the staff admitted that this is an automatic gratuity. I'm sorry but the service was not deserving of a 25% tip! It wasn't terrible but to give customers no choice and no warning is petty theft. It has potential but smoking is permitted at a place where kids and pets are welcome. Parking sucks as with most places on Greenville Ave. I will not be back, ever. read more

Use to love coming here last summer, had a couple friends birthday parties here in the fall and they always were nice about it. At some point this year, they decided to become a restaurant too. Can't say anything about the food because I didn't try it, but I saw my friends food the few times I've gone recently and it looked pretty fire. My complaint is that this was a perfect hangout bar with good pricing, however this is no longer the case. The problems all started sometime when the bar went under new management or ownership. Myself and a couple friends went across the street for dinner (had no clue LG was considered a restaurant now) and we met up at LG afterwards for drinks like we ALWAYS would in 2022. About two minutes into us arriving, a dude walked up to us and said "i'm not trying to be a dick but i need to see your ID's" which is fine, i get that part, but the guy clearly was new and instead of telling us that things had changed I had to walk all the way to the restaurant we ate at to get my ID. Once I got back, he was continuing to harass my friends saying nonsense like "You guys have to order drinks or food if you want to be here, this isn't a playground" Keep in mind we JUST walked up the the patio tables and put our stuff down. Very different experience from the last 20 times I went before. I hope that management sees this and think to themselves that maybe they are the ones with the problems that can easily be fixed with kindness instead of trying to blame other people for there thoughts. read more

Calvin - your attempt to dishonestly mischaracterize my previous review merits a reply. First, if you honestly believe that I asked you to turn up your brain-blasting loud speaker then you should look up "sarcasm" for future reference. Second, there were no other people on the patio other than myself and a friend (certainly not hundreds - get over yourself), and we both were yelling over the sound. We both asked yoh to dial it back, several times, and several times you in essence told us "too bad fuck off". Third, your edict that I "not return" is laughable since I made it clear that I would not be returning. I'd have thought this obvious when you tried to shake my hand and I refused. While I know that your tiny little scab of earth on Greenville Ave is the epitome of class and good taste, I suppose I'll just have to somehow get by at one of the other hundreds of bars in Dallas where the owner does not have his head lodged firmly up his ass and I dont have to tolerate the indifference of said idiot owner ruining my evening by blasting the television into an otherwise vacant and peaceful patio while trying to have a casual business discussion with an acquaintance. Be grateful I didn't review your food options. read more

Walked around lower Greenville to get something to eat and this place caught our eye. The front patio was really cute with the turf and TVs for watching sports. The inside was dimly lit with colored Christmas lights on the ceiling making for a cool dive bar feel. The back patio was expansive with several TVs. It seems like a great place to watch football. We ordered the burger and patty melt. Our server asked if we wanted tots or fries with it. We asked if they came with the burgers, and she replied yes. When our food came out, we realized the "tots" were not tater tots and instead were little potato wedges. I wish that was made more clear because I would have gotten fries. The restaurant uses the handheld machines so when I asked for the bill I was told we owed approximately $43 and asked if I wanted to use the same card I originally gave to start a tab. I was shocked since we only got a burger, a patty melt (which was supposed to come with fries/tots) and 2 waters. I was sure we had the wrong bill. When I looked further, the tots did not come with the sandwiches and were $4 each (maybe the server did not know or was new) and there was an automatic 25% gratuity. I usually tip 20% when I go eat and felt an automatic gratuity of 25% for two people seemed excessive, especially since this was not disclosed to us before. The atmosphere was really cute but probably will go somewhere else to watch games due to the hefty service charges and seemingly false advertising read more

Food is always good. Their burgers are popular but personally I recommend the San Fran Hot Dog. Have come here a couple times just because of the hotdog. Nice setup inside, Pool Table, tables and seats. Nice, clean outdoor patio out front and spacious back patio. Jenga and cornhole games in the back. The patios are dog friendly. The crowd this place attracts is friendly and have good vibes. The best part of this place is the service. The bartenders are always attentive. This has been a consistent experience. Pretty sure of I've been served by all the bartenders there and they've always been friendly and attentive. read more

I've been here several times--I like both the front and back patio areas, the food has usually been pretty good, and for the most part, the service good as well. What I can't get onboard with is the 25% automatic gratuity, and honestly, probably won't be back because of it. Should it be done for large parties? Sure, I get it. Special events...maybe? But two peeps who stopped in for a drink? Nah. Gonna pass on that in the future. I get some people are bad tippers, which is unfortunate, but I'm not one of them and don't feel like I should be penalized for it? From reading other reviews, it appears that management could care less about customer sentiment on this issue. Lame. read more

Me and my wife visited Life's Good during our recent stay in Dallas. I must say everything was on point! When we walked in, we were greeted very warmly by the host. After selecting a table where we could enjoy the basketball games, our server came and took our order. I ordered 5 tenders and fries. The peppery taste of the wings was divine and the white gravy set it off! The tenders we very filling and the fries were fried perfectly. I added some fried jalapeños as that is not something that I can get in North Carolina. The owner actually came and introduced himself to us and that just added to the vibe as well as the reason we will definitely return on our next visit to Dallas! read more

Food was good. At 1st the service was horrible. We stood at the bar about 15 mins and no one addressed or greeted us. After being told to have a seat and someone would be with us we sat for about 20 mins until I got up and walked back to the bar. We explained this was our 1st time and we saw the advertisement on IG. But the food wasn't so good that I would return and endure the horrible parking and the bad service. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Came today had a great time, service was great and the food was great I had the BLT. Seth, Chelsea and Taylor were so great. We wanted to hear music on the jukebox but bc of the Women's championship game the staff wasn't allowed to change it. Great overall experience will definitely return, just wish we were able to listen to music and not the TV audio. read more

Got our check and saw a 25% auto gratuity along with a $3 "rocks" charge for ice? So I guess if you order a mixed drink the ice is free but if you order it on the rocks you have to pay for ice...The food and drinks were good but our server left halfway through our stay and didn't say anything to us or have another server be assigned to our table. Won't be back due to these extra charges read more
