By far one of the best bars I've been to and the drinks are cold and fresh! always got to love coming down to Deep E.!

My girlfriend, sister, and I came here to watch a friend perform out front. It's a hip little place, located in a very under-construction area of Deep Ellum, and the restaurant (bar?) is simple and clean. I appreciated that they had the options of taller tables, as i'm in a wheelchair with lift capabilities and standard tables are a bit low for me. Their bathrooms were clean and spacious enough. The interior was lit red, and it's to the point: tables and a bar, that's it. The front was kept open and my friend performed out front, with his performance cast to the interior TVs. I got the "Sexy Chicken", which was so hot that tears came out of my face. I like spicy, but holy cow, be careful ye of little spice tolerance. I ate it all and enjoyed it enough, and the salad was decent too. I was a little disappointed that some of the things I was looking forward to trying the most were not gluten-free so I had to stick with just the non-breaded chicken. I wouldn't mind-returning if the menu had a few more options, but if you aren't gluten-free the menu looked tasty and interesting. The staff were very friendly. read more

Went here for the first time because I saw a Instagram post. The fried chicken was very crunchy but you can tell that it is a fusion recipe. It starts off really great, but seems as though everything on the menu is overly spiced. I usually can handle spicy food very well, but it got progressively spicier as I ate the food. The fries weren't necessarily spicy, but definitely coated to the max in seasoning. The mac & cheese didn't seem to have seasoning but had habanero flavoring as their seasoning substitute. The fried chicken was delicious crunchy and flavorful. Also, it was very juicy. Honestly felt like I just needed a lot of water after eating this meal, but I think I would go back and try it again. Our server was super nice very helpful and even gave my dog a water bowl. I love dog, friendly restaurants. read more

Incredible food and open late!! We only got to try the fried chicken and fries but that chicken was amazing. The batter was seasoned well, crispy, and not greasy. The chicken wasn't dry at all either. Eat it with the hot sauce! read more

The chimichurri chicken sandwich was OK at first, but the sauce after a while became very overpowering. I think if you get it on the side and add it to your sandwich as you want, it would be a lot better. The Mexican spin wheels were hot garbage. The service was OK, nothing to write home about the ambience was also OK but the table was a little small for someone 6 foot tall and 6'7" respectively. read more

Do not be fooled by this dive bar appearance. By dive bar, I actually mean almost looking like a dive bar that hasn't been operating for years from the exterior. I say all of this as a good thing. It's a vibe. Seriously. The vibe is even better when you get your mouth on the goodness they are serving up. I don't know how they season the chicken tenders (battered and deep fired) but I can tell you this, those tenders are magic to the lips and tongue. WOO! Power-packed goodness. AND the most important part, the meat is tender (yep) and juicy! Not dried out or over cooked. Let's talk sides... Habanero bacon macaroni and cheese. OMG it is probably some of the best out there. It's got that southern-style bake to it that pops with the habanero and bacon. Just enough kick to make you wanting more. Talk about wanting more, the poblano mashed potatoes are INSANE, gang! I could eat them all day, everyday. Again, that southern-style cooking that brings and extra "hmmpf" of flavor! I can't wait to get back to Dallas to try the other menu items. My mouth is drooling just thinking of it. read more

I'm a bit divided on this place. It is good but a bit spicy. If that's your thing then you'll love this place!!

A little hidden gem in Deep Ellum with great delicious bites. I always put my friends on this place when we're out late. Brick and Bones always hits the spot. Hot chicken, habenero Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and elote, are all staples. Make this your stop for late night munchies read more

Great Experience! Live around the area and decided to walk and find some dinner, ended up finding this fried chicken spot and was the best decision ever! Great prices ended up paying for two entrees and two sides for $40 plus 25% tip in total paying about $50 for two people. Food was delicious! And the chicken was cooked to perfection, great portions for the price and very fulfilling. The vibe was perfect if you like a chill dark ambiance and the staff was very friendly and attentive :) We ordered: - 3pc chicken - green beans - hot chicken - Mexican corn - waters We will be coming here often, great spot for a quiet, WEEKDAY, dinner date or snack read more

Dive bar aesthetic with elevated highbrow lowbrow drinks and eats. Excellent spot. Service was exceptional beyond highest expectations, providing advice on how to get around from there and taking extra care as I was a woman traveling solo. Staff clearly invested not only in their establishment and customer base but also their community. Good human vibes all around. Food was top notch and drinks were as well. It seems like a total sleeper but based on the quantity and quality of reviews it is clearly well known. What I wouldn't give for a neighborhood bar like this. I came in here already with a few drinks in me and fully fed, but had to hit this before leaving town based on its reputation. IT. DELIVERED. I wish it had more opening days and hours during my limited conference-driven stay because I could have lived here. So many lauded restaurants around the area getting on national lists for their eats and this bar beat them all. read more

Man....we came here the 1st time cuz the ratings were good and they were open late! But it immediately became a staple when we're in town due to the quality of the food & drinks!! The chicken is ALWAYS hot & fresh, the green beans are one of my favorite sides of all time & my hubby LOVES the habanero Mac n cheese! I typically order wine when I eat out cuz the drinks aren't strong enough but not when I come here!! They make a mean old fashioned!!! Can't wait for them to open back up!!! read more

Fried chicken is delicious here. A tiny bit sweet, a lovely bit salty, with a very crisp, delectable skin. The dark meat is nice and moist. The gent enjoyed the chicken sandwich which was a sizable number, could easily feed two normal people, but he's a monster who consumed it all on his own. We also tried the chicken tenders (because he was still hungry!), but recommend skipping those as they were surprisingly very dry and bland. The mashed potatoes are tasty and come with a poblano gravy. The green beans were pretty good. Wish they had fries here! read more

It looks like a dive bar. Everything about it screams dive bar. The bar stools, tables, decor, even the lighting (or lack thereof) says dive bar. That's where it stops. The drinks are great, service is great too. But the fried chicken is up there with some of the best I've had in Dallas. The hot chicken is the perfect amount of heat & flavor without torching your taste buds. Don't sleep on the sides either. We went with the Mac & cheese & the Mexican corn, which were both much better than expected. You'd never know it from the look of it, which is part of the fun (especially now that Deep Ellum ain't what it used to be), but this is some killer chicken & well worth a visit. read more

Pure excellence Don't sleep on this one. Thank you Toni for the fantastic cocktails! read more

Great location in Rowlett and ambiance. Food was not what I expected menu stated brine chicken so I was expecting something very juicy and tender however food fell short of that very very very Bland. Food took a while to come out and when it was served it was lukewarm seem to be short staff for a Saturday evening Server was very friendly but stretched between the inside and the outdoor area. Gave it a try but will not come back. read more

This is a little hole in the wall place. It seems like it is a bar only, but when you walk in it is also a restaurant? And they specialize in Fried Chicken? I wasnt really impressed by the ambiance, the drinks, or the scent. The star i gave was for the nice bartenders. I won't be coming back here in the future. read more

Love it here!! Great people and environment. Side note- I am currently not drinking alcohol right now but was immediately served a nice tall cold cute and tasty mocktail upon arriving. Haven't tried the delicious looking chicken yet but will soon!! Stay tuned or come through!! read more

This actually really makes me very upset to write. As you can see by my previous review, I have been coming here for years, supported them through COVID, celebrated bdays here, brought in countless friends, but no more. I came in yesterday with 4 friends. Food was great and we enjoyed our time like usual. When we went to pay, the "WiFi was down" so the waitress could not split checks. Fine if that was truly the case, also fine if you just don't want to split checks - we were happy to settle it among ourselves. So I paid, tipped and we left. This morning as I am trying to split the check to figure out what everyone owes, I keep coming up ~$50 short of what the total was. This is when I notice the subtotal vs check total line. An 18% gratuity was added (which is fine) - but the server did not indicate that, nor is it clear from the receipt that gratuity was added. I am 6 months pregnant (and therefore was very sober) and even the gratuity being added was not clear to me at the time. Being in the location this is, this feels very icky, deceitful and like a terrible business practice and like they are taking advantage of (probably drunk) patrons. We tipped this girl an additional $38 on top of the $40 she had already given herself, and in hindsight, is probably why she didn't want to split checks, especially knowing this must be overlooked often. To top it all off, they added an $8 credit card fee, which is INSANE. I am so upset and disappointed because we loved coming here but this just feels ICKY and wrong. So beware when dining here, especially in a group. read more

the was so great food. Tony, Nick, Lola, Cynthia were the best, you'll be taken care of for sure. Love the vibes.

To put things simply... you need to come check it out. All the food we got was "oh wow" good. Creative and delicious cocktails. Fun and inviting service. Just a 10/10. As I'm writing this review, the server brought the whole table hot towels. Bring your butt in here read more

Wow, this place is literally a hidden gem. Absolutely loved the chicken and Mac & cheese. The service was amazing and the ambiance was super chill and relaxing. The icing on the cake was the warm towels provided to us after eating our food so that we can clean our hands. This is for sure going to be my new go-to spot for chicken. Hands down.. the best chicken I've had in Dallas. read more

Brick & Bones - Bone in Chicken and Mac N Cheese - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Brick & Bones has been a staple and Deep Ellum for a while now. I know the owner Cliff and also knew my buddy ian that passed away so kind of sentimental but the chicken is always fire. The elote is always good bartenders always on point. Yeah, so I'm sad that they close down but they're opening up soon so this review was from the last time that I went to the Elm Street location but anytime Cliff opens up man y'all go check them out great guy Food's always awesome. read more

Been craving some good fried chicken and because of such great Yelp reviews was anxious and excited to try Brick & Bones. I ended up calling in my order for pick up because I know parking on Elm is challenging (even though I did want to experience the bar and have a cocktail :( My call in order was simply 3 pieces of chicken (dark meat) and habanero Mac n Cheese. I typically don't like spicy food so I was a little reluctant but the gentleman I spoke to rated it about a 3-4 on spice level so I was okay with that. I walked into a very low lite establishment on a Thursday night a little after 8pm. No one was inside. My order was ready, I checked to make sure it was correct, paid, and went on my way. The chicken had more spice than I would of liked but was very crunchy. I would of liked my choice of just legs but I didn't even ask if it was an option. I did enjoy eating the cilantro and lime juice with the chicken and the radishes were nice too. Loved the Mac and cheese an the fact that REAL bacon is used. Wouldn't go back but still good food. Plus, my bill was $24 and they charged my card $24.65 and spelled my name as "LEXUS" on my order. I'm not a vehicle, my name is ALEXIS!! read more

Brick & Bones - TO GO: 3 piece chicken and Habanero Bacon Man n Cheese $21.65 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Had a great time here! The food was pretty good. I had the bnb bowl and my friends had the tenders with green beans. They put pumpkin seeds in the green beans which was an interesting surprise. Very tasty none the less. Cynthia was such a great person to have behind the bar. Chatty without being intrusive, and had some good food and drink recommendations. The interior is what you would expect of a dive type place. Dark, moody, and some interesting art. Over all 5 star experience for us. read more

Was ok until I saw the German roach run across the bar counter top. The chicken was a bit overcooked for my taste but seasoning was good.

Had heard about this location on ig and randomly stumbled upon during my rare deep ellum escapades. I had the chicken sandwich and it was very good. Sat at the bar and was served immediately. I want super loud inside, even for a Saturday night, but had a good vibe. read more

Food: 5/5: YUM! Everything we ate was fantastic. The green beans might be to die for. The chicken bowl is now in my dreams. The Mac and cheese is SPICY. Beware.

Nothing terrible, just nothing to write home about. Service: Quick and friendly. Our waitress did a good job explaining the menu and I like that they came by with a hot towel after the food to clean our hands. Atmosphere: Meh Food: it wasn't terrible, but also wasn't good. I had the naked chicken, their take on a build your own taco. For a place that advertises as Mexican inspired chicken and a menu that claimed a 24 hour brine, there was no seasoning. Additionally, while chicken thighs are hard to overcook and dry out, they managed to. The poblano mashed potatoes similarly had little to no seasoning and were incredibly lumpy. Not all was bad though. The habanero mac and cheese was pretty good and not at all spicy like you'd expect. The drinks were pretty good too, although quite weak. read more

Don't order !!! Run they scam me! I order a pickup by accident through UberEats . When I realize it contacted the store. Store manager say we'll contact Uber !

The street shut down and manager was like nothing he can do. I never been to this place !! But run ‍ cause the business want Make it right!! read more

To be honest, I stumbled in Brick & Bones to get out of the rain. I wasn't even hungry, but the bartender sold me on how good the food is. I took his suggestion and ordered a 3 Piece Mixed and the Habanero Bacon Mac and Cheese. The chicken was pretty impressive. A lot more unique and flavorful than I expected. I picked up on a few warm spices. There's definitely cinnamon and possibly clove along with other non-traditional spice. I liked the new take. The Mac was good too, but packed a lot of heat. Don't get me wrong, I love spicy food. ..but my stomach doesn't. Lol. Grab a beer from the beer to help with the burn. I suggest grabbing a seat at the bar. Service was friendly and attentive. read more
