    Crispy Deviled Eggs
    Christina B.

    OK, I am again, this place is awesome. The food and the drinks keep bringing me back. Zac my waiter was amazing. He's also the bartender. He made me an off the menu mixed drink called 1000 corpses... Yum I enjoyed how the flavor started out kind of sweet and then changed. It was delicious the whole way through. I also have the flatbread, pepperoni, hot honey pizza, and it was delightfully, sweet, crunchy and gooey cheesy... And I got the appetizer with the fried shrimp... I think they call it firecracker shrimp. It was very tasty and I love the flavor all the way through. And of course, the music was jamming with oldies... But I like that kind and it's a very relaxing place. I enjoy it.

    Came here for lunch. I love the speakeasy vibe and all the available photo ops upon entering. I was sat right away and the service was very attentive from the start. I ordered the Crispy Deviled Eggs and those were delicious, they are topped with bacon jam which adds to the delicious taste. I got two drinks from the bar the first was a Bootlegger's Blossom and the second was a Lemon Drop Martini and they were both delicious. For my meal I had the Volstead Cheeseburger, which they said it was the best burger in Southlake, and that was not a lie. The burger was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the meal came with fries which were also tasty. Kevin was our bartender/waiter and he was awesome and very attentive. Overall it was a great experience and will definitely come back.

    "spicy tuna" crispy rice
    Becca S.

    Volstead has been open a while in Southlake. They are the same outfit that owns Jane, also in Southlake, The Tavern, and Tycoon. Both the Tavern and Tycoon are in Flower Mound, and I have not visited, but I have made stops at both Jane and now Volstead. And I have to say, I wanted to be impressed, and I just wasn't. When I went to Jane, the cocktails were not up to snuff. My visit to Volstead, the cocktail was fantastic but the ambiance and food disappointed. I came into Volstead to check out the happy hour. They have a discount on wine, and half off their signature cocktails and martinis. They make craft cocktails, which were impressive, but only have one bartender. It takes time, but they could use another. I ordered a Volstead Vesper. It is a bold martini. Josh made it well. It was well balanced. Boozy yet balanced. And I love a lemon curl. A garnish can really elevate a cocktail. Five stars for the drink. I will come back and order another one. I also ordered their spicy tuna crispy rice. It was rather a disappointment. The serving size was generous, the crunch on the rice was there, and then it fell short. The texture of the rice was on the mushier side. The tuna was NOT spicy. It had been dressed in something, but it brought absolutely NO flavor or anything to the tuna. There was a wasabi cream and a sauce (maybe eel sauce) that dressed the plate, but the tuna was bland. A little soy, citrus, yuzu, sriracha or SOMETHING to elevate and brighten the tuna would have been EVERYTHING. So it just ended up being bland tuna, on undressed avocado, on fried mushy rice with some tasty sauces. It absolutely was not spicy. And with a little something something it could have been rather tasty. Even with mushy rice. When I walked in and sat down, there was no music playing so you were just hearing conversations bouncing off the walls. After about a half hour someone decided they needed some tunes, but then it was too loud and it was hard to hear the bar tenders. I loved the decor, and again, my cocktail was really rather good. The overall feel just felt kind of sloppy. It could have been awesome, and fell short. They claim to have Southlakes best burger, and maybe that is a better choice than the tuna. I may give it a shot. It got rather popular as I was leaving, the crowd a bit more mature. And maybe that is their bag. They have great reviews and high stars, I just didn't feel it.

    The name of this place has intrigued me for some time. You see I am a bit of a history buff and the Volstead Act outlawed alcohol sales in 1919. Clubs still existed though, in the form of speakeasy's. Volstead is fashioned after a speakeasy from the era, and you feel it walking in. The place has an old time feel to it. My service was great. Friendly, cheerful, and a Ray of sunshine in the mysterious and dim lights, reminiscent of a speakeasy. I ordered a Cheeseburger and it came with Skinny Fries. I got to give them props, the food was delicious and something I would return for!

    Watermelon skinny
    Arianne P.

    Came here for happy hour after several coworkers recommended it, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I ordered the Watermelon Skinny, which was light, refreshing, and easy to sip on. For food, we shared the happy hour spicy tuna crispy rice and the oysters Rockefeller (not on the happy hour menu), and both were excellent. The crispy rice had a nice crunch with flavorful tuna on top, and the oysters were rich and well-prepared. I also tried some of the popcorn chicken and truffle fries my coworkers ordered--both were delicious and hard to stop picking at. It's a great spot to hang out, catch up, and unwind. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable for conversation, and the service was attentive and friendly. Definitely a place I'd return to for happy hour.

    After being blown away by the first trip here, I brought a big group for a birthday dinner. It was super-fun! Noise is a factor, though. The decibels increase throughout the night, too. Their menu is curated and the mixology is custom. Pricing is in line with the whole experience. Most notable is the service - really great staff!

    We live really close by and had been to the restaurant that was previously there so thought we would give it a try. Parking is easy and they did a really excellent and cool job changing the decor from fish shack style to a modern vibe. I absolutely love the blowing bubble gum wall paper. What I really love about this place is there is an option for everyone and the serving sizes are huge! My husband and I shared the fish and chips because we knew we were getting appetizers and a dessert. The serving size of the split order could almost be a full serving at other restaurants. The quality is great as well and everything we had was very good. Our server, the bartenders and the manager were very friendly and checked in JUST the right amount. Never feeling ignored but also not feeling like we had to stop our conversation multiple times to handle a check in. The crab cakes are amazing and the only thing they could do better is put a bigger version on a croissant and add it to the menu.

    This was the end to my Mother's Day. We stopped at this speak easy. It is a fun atmosphere. The bartenders were fun and made sure we were having a good time. They explained how the location used to be Fish City and the owner decided to turn it into a speak easy. The drinks were good and the deviled eggs were a great choice. We didn't eat because we ate somewhere else and were just checking out the place. We will be going back to have dinner. The crowd ranged from age 30-70 while we were there. This was a Saturday around 6:45 PM. I feel it's a great place to visit when everyone feels comfortable talking to everyone around them. We did sit at the bar. We felt like me met new friends. I recommend you try this location.

    very unassuming from the main street, and pleasantly surprised with the interior decor and inside. We didn't make reservations and got seated right away. However, we did go around 8pm... so not sure if that was after the dinner crowd. When we went, there were still people eating and drinking inside. We ended up getting the items below. Prohibition Sampler $14 oysters rockefeller, beef wellington bites, maryland crab cakes Steak Frites $39 sliced tenderloin filet, creamy peppercorn sauce, sautéed onions, parmesan-truffle fries Honey Truffle Chicken $28 lightly crusted, whipped garlic mash, creamed spinach Espresso Express $16 Hanson Espresso Vodka, Doughball Cookie Dough, Coffee Simple, Espresso, Licor 43, Sweet Cream The sampler was a nice choice as it allowed us to try different items, Each item came with two small bites. As for the two entrees, i enjoyed the honey truffle chicken moreso than the steak frites. Chicken was juicy and the outside was crispy. However, i have to admit the fries that came with the steak were extremely addicting. They have a regular happy hour and a reverse happy hour, which is 1 hour before they close.

    Signature Martini - Volstead Vesper

    My son and I were craving burgers! We stopped in during Happy Hour and were pleasantly surprised! Two cheese burgers, a side of fries (I asked for the thicker cut curled version) a Sprite and a signature martini! Both Bella and Natasha were so sweet and took care of us! We will definitely be back!

    I just love the drinks here and the vibes of this place! Everyone working here was very upbeat. The strawberry mule was incredible! The layout is gorgeous. Unfortunately, food-wise I'll need to try more items. The popcorn chicken was okay, but needs more sauces than ketchup. The fries are okay. The pressed tuna sushi's rice was really hard and had a slight refrigerated taste. I still gave it four stars because I'd love to get drinks here again.

    Volstead is a wonderful place! Ambience is refreshing - cool, quirky and intimate - perfect for drinks or a delicious meal. The service we received from Jake on a recent visit was top notch! He accommodated all our requests and the kitchen went above and beyond assisting us in gluten free food.

But it's also dealing with challenges of a 100-year-old building. And happy hour gets so loud you can't talk - you shout. That's where my 5th star went. But overall, LOVE this experience!

We were seated outside, and it ended up being perfect. It was sunny and nice, the heaters were on, and they even pulled the shade upon request, so it was very comfortable. Our waitress was really really sweet and tried her best to accommodate our large group. She took our orders quickly and was attentive throughout, which was appreciated. For drinks, I had an iced coffee...it was just okay, nothing special, but it did the job. The cocktails were better. The lavender honey drink was a hit with my friends, and the Dragon Refresher was really good and my personal favorite. Food was a bit hit or miss. I initially wanted the trout, which was still listed on the menu but wasn't available (they forgot to remove it). I switched to the salmon, which was okay, but it came with truffle fries and those were the star. They were so good we ordered two more. I also tried the stuffed chicken roulade, which I really enjoyed! The breakfast tacos were a big disappointing, pretty basic with scrambled eggs, bacon, with a side of roasted potatoes. Not much flavor. On the other hand, the ahi tuna tacos were great and loved by the table. We also tried the chicken & waffles, eggs benedict, and avocado toast...all solid. One hiccup: we ordered a charcuterie board and calamari as appetizers, but they never came. When I asked later, the waitress realized she had forgotten, so we canceled since our entrées were already out. Overall, great vibes, a nice outdoor setup, and a solid bar. Service was friendly and accommodating, especially for a large group. Food was mixed.
