We came for the first time one day just for drinks and an app and we are so happy we ordered the duck taquitos! They were perfect in every way! The carajillo drink wasn't my favorite. Not sure how it was made but it wasn't traditional. However they have a frozen Old Fashioned drink that was a great balance! It sounded weird to me, looked like an unappetizing color but the flavor was perfect! We will definitely come back!!! read more

We found this gem and I can tell you that it was WONDERFUL! We walked in and were greeted with smiles and excitement. There is a bar and comfy sitting area and plenty of tables. I'm going to full up admit that I did a terrible job getting pictures so you're just going to have to trust me. I got to see and visit with my daughter and granddaughter so was over the moon! We ordered the Grilled Lamb Chop Lollipops and the Brisket Risotto Balls for an appetizer. There are only 3 lollipops but they were INCREDIBLE! The presentation was beautiful! The brisket risotto balls were good. Think "boudain" balls. Reinspired and tasty. I ordered the Duck & Rope Pasta, my other half ordered the Beef Arrarbbiata and my daughter and granddaughter shared the Steak Frites. All of it was delicious! The duck confit in the Duck & Rope Pasta was perfect! Don't be scared on this one. It is worth it! For dessert, we ordered the Ferrero Rocher and HOLEY MOLEY! It was huge and delicious. This dessert is rich with the perfect sweetness that won't bite you in the jaw. It is shareable! Overall, I am so happy we tried Bucket & Rope! The service was amazing and I just can't say enough about the quality of the food and overall experience! Thank you Bucket & Rope for a memorable meal! read more

Came for brunch and what a wonderful time was had! We grabbed a spot on the patio and Johnna was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and gave some great suggestions. We started off with a pitcher of mimosa and the duck taquitos. I'm usually not a fan duck however I was told to give it a try. If you hadn't told me it was duck, I probably would have thought it was chicken. The mimosa was a build your own, it came with 3 juices - orange, pineapple and cranberry - and you got to pour as much or as little juice as you wanted. Between the two of us, we each got about 3 glasses. I got the French toast, which tasted like a deep fried donut, in a good way. The outside was crunchy, the inside still had the pillow custard texture. However in my opinion it needed more of the apple pecan slaw especially if you weren't trying to drown them in syrup. My friend had the chilequillas which she really enjoyed but did mention a few times that it was a little spicy. We ended the meal with dessert which was rich and luscious but oh so delicious. It was a cholesterol mouse that was covered in a hazelnut chocolate shell with a raspberry sauce. Overall a great time was had & I'd gladly go back to try more. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I've been here twice now and I absolutely love it. Service is fantastic. Be sure to introduce yourself to Victor when you visit because he takes pride in this restaurant and it shows. Every meal we've had has been so good, pricing for drinks is great for the location and the playlist is full of hits. They have a lot of activities going on for the World Cup too! Make this a place to visit if you're in the downtown area. read more

In Dallas on stressful business came here to eat good and wash my stress away with a delicious drink and I was not disappointed. The server Sayde was attentive kind and knew just when to pop back up at the table steak frites and the poke were excellent drinks the diablo top tier and a plus basically in downtown with generous free parking as a outta towner it checked all the boxes! read more

Great service and great food! Their brunch menu is my favorite. Highly recommend enjoying their patio and/or courtyard area on a nice day.

I came here on a Sunday evening to grab dinner for one. It's dark and intimate on the inside and it also has a patio where they played sports on the tv. It wasn't too crowded but it looked like there was one server and one bartender. The bartender pitched in to help out even thought I sat on the patio. She also helped me with my order. As an app, I got the duck taquitos which were fantastic. They were crispy in the outside and I liked the cream that came with it. As an entree, I got Zoe's carbonara and I didn't like it too much. The taste was not rich or flavorful. Overall the experience was good and I would go back and try more things. read more

We checked this place out recently for lunch and had a good experience. We were able to park in their designated lot at the time we visited. The location is cool in an old brick building. Our server was friendly and attentive. We started with the brisket balls. The raspberry chipotle jam paired well with the brisket. My wife had the spicy chicken sandwich and I had the burger. The portion sizes out match the price. They had a menu advertising happy hour specials and their dinner menu looked great online. We will definitely be back to try more items. read more

Such a cute place with excellent service and calming atmosphere. We started with the brisket balls then moved to entrees of wagyu beef roast and lamb chop. The starter was good but the entrees were honestly some of the best around. I requested my beef roast to be served on mashed potatoes instead of grits and that was seriously the best decision EVER! The roast was so delicious and the veggies and mash were impeccable! My husbands lamb chop was the best he has had in Dallas! You need to stop in and enjoy this gem near farmers market! read more

A BIG welcome to the neighborhood for Chef Victor Hugo, his team and latest creation, Bucket & Rope!! I am a huge fan of what they are doing. For openers, the building has a lot of history, going back to the late 1800s it was home to Liberty Bank and actually located a few blocks away. Over a decade ago, the building was targeted for demolition to allow for street widening project. It was a purchased by a management company for $1 and then relocated to its current location. Shortly, after that is when Green Door Public House operated until the latter half of 2024. When they closed and moved out I was hopeful the space would continue to be used for a restaurant of some type and little did I know that plans were underway. Chef Hugo and team swooped in, made a few improvements, established a new menu and wallah...Bucket & Rope is on the scene!! If it was possible, I'd give them 10 stars!! This has quickly become my favorite place for food, sips and great experiences. It took me forever to make my way there but since doing so I've been there almost weekly. The food is that amazing!! To date, everything I've tried has been mind-blowing delicious. So far, I have tried Rope In A Bucket which is there spin on calamari...this is a must have for a starter. From the sandwiches section of the menu, I've had Mike's Burger which is Wagyu served on a brioche bun with all the trimmings...simply delicious!!! My favorite item from the entree section is the Blackened Texas Redfish. It's served a creamy parmesan risotto, green beans and mango-habanero salsa and it never misses!!! For dessert, I've had their pecan pie which is served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Recently, I stopped through for brunch and had the Hot Chicken sandwich along with an order of Blueberry Pancakes...all delicious!! Thankfully, I'm fairly disciplined when it comes exercising otherwise, I might have issues thanks to Bucket & Rope. The staff is top notch! Everyone is always friendly, welcoming and seem to enjoy what they are doing. Add to that, on many of visits, Chef Hugo has been present and spends time greeting guests and ensuring things are running smoothly. As for parking, there is a small free parking lot next to building. Otherwise, there is some street parking in the vicinity. Lastly, when you visit, as you enter, be sure to look up (out of all the times I've been there, I never noticed that until my most recent visit...what a nice touch). Also, if Chef Hugo is there, offer to buy him his favorite shot, it's a spin on a classic and as everything is at Bucket & Rope, it's an elevated experience. read more

Brunch menu is packed with delicious goodies. Opted for the pork carnitas hash with 2 over easy eggs. I ordered a side of corn tortillas that was perfect with my carnitas. My friend had the eggs bene served with a thick slice of ham and she raved about it. Cocktails were a tad strong but good. Service was good and noise was not bad. We could hold conversation without raising voices. read more

Derive was Overwhelming!! I have 3 different servers come to the table to ask if they could take my order! I only got the opportunity to order appetizers, which I wasn't mad with because they were so bland that I didn't want to waste my money on food, unfortunately. I will say that the brisket balls were very fresh and the sauce was really good, but the flavor as a whole was lacking. I expected to bite into the balls and be surprised, but wasn't. If I had to compare them to anything they were like Boudin balls then ordered the duck taquitos thinking they would have a little more flavor and they didn't! They were fried to perfection though. You can tell that the ingredients were fresh, so it was definitely disappointing that it didn't have much flavor. It's kind of unfortunate because the ambience of this place is on point! I said outside on the patio because it was a beautiful day. Walked in through the front entrance so I got to see the inside which was also cute. I'm reading a three star because of the freshness of the food everything else, wasn't a fan of read more

This beautiful restaurant is easy to miss. It's charming and family friendly. The staff is friendly and helpful too. Ordered the bison burger with fries. It was good. Although I requested it to be cooked medium it came out more on the well done side. I did not send it back but it was a little on the dry side. Therefore I gave it a 4 out of 5. read more

One of my local favorites for a good, fun, and tasty happy hours. The chef was so nice to come out and discuss the menu options for my food allergies.

Overall a great experience and we'll be back. I ordered the Chilaquiles and my partner ordered the Huevos Rancheros. We were pleased but not blown away. The Carne Asada and Turkey Melt + Lemon ricotta cakes were also ordered and also alright. The vibes and location are great and service was solid. I think we just didn't order the hits, so we'll be back to give it another shot! read more

So happy this place is open. VH's food is usually always well seasoned and thought out. This spot hits all the boxes for me. Great variety of options, some classic items from Victor's past. We had the duck taquitos and bean dip with the waygu roast and red snapper. All so good. Finished with the Churros which were my style not being to sweet. Also a beautiful historic building behind Ruibals garden!! Take the back entrance to enjoy that area. Prices are good, food is amazing. I am sure the cocktains will not dissappoint. I love knowing I can go and get a quick drink or bite to eat at this place. AKA the duck taquitos and bean dip combo. Also the dinner entrees will happily make a great dinner for any dinner occasion. read more

Lazy 1st Saturday of 2026 and after laying around all day sipping tea, watching movies and eating light bites at home in our pjs we decided to head outside for some holiday returns and dinner. After a quick Yelp search we found this place and once we pulled up we were so surprised that we've never noticed this place as much as we've been to the Farmers Market around the corner. We entered and the staff acknowledged us and immediately came over to escort us to a table. The menu was simple yet filled with plenty of goodness and the overall vibe within the space was vibrant yet chill as the space works for a DateNight (we saw a couple of couples), family outing (we were with our children), friends outing (several were in play), etc.. We started with the NOLA BBQ Shrimp app & the lamb lollipops which were both a hit. Main courses: Duck & Rope Pasta Cobb Salad Gigis Pasta Grill Cheese & Chicken Tender The only thing that wasn't well received is the GiGis Pasta only because when my children read pesto they thing creamy as I maw pesto pasta. It was more oil based so one of the boys didn't eat but instead of sending it back I packed it up and will make it creamy for his lunch tomorrow. I Love the napkins or kept the conversations going at the table. The server recognized that we were celebrating our youngest Birthday month and brought out a candle atop the cinnamon roll cheesecake which was very sweet. The cheesecake was Amazing :-) read more

4.6 We decided to check out Bucket & Rope for Sunday brunch, and honestly? Best decision ever From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with so much enthusiasm and seated right away by the window --although I was a little unsure about staying there since it was already cold outside . While we were deciding, someone immediately checked in to make sure we were okay (love that ). That's when the very kind gentleman--who we later learned was Victor Hugo--let us know another table would be clearing shortly so we could move. Top-tier service already For appetizers, we went with the brisket balls, duck taquitos, and a pitcher of pineapple mimosas . Let me tell you... those duck taquitos were SO good That crema?? EVERYTHING. The brisket balls instantly took us back to Turks & Caicos --IFYKYK We also tried the quesadilla, and once again--another hit . So good that we ended up ordering another round of the brisket balls because why not? Shoutout to Sayde and Maria, who were absolutely amazing . Tequila shots were flowing , and we were convinced to order pecan pie with ice cream for dessert . I do wish the dessert had been complimentary, and the pie would've been a solid 10/10 if it were warm--but still appreciated. Takeaway: Bucket & Rope does food right , and Victor and his team truly make you feel like family . We'll definitely be back--especially for those half-price apps during the week read more

Came here on a Thursday evening surprised to see how empty it was since it had such good reviews. I guess I was just late for happy hour. Sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive throughout the evening. I ordered my food and it came out quickly and delicious. Very chili vibe, was able to watch a bit of Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix while I ate, but left before I got to the waterworks part. All in all, I will be coming back if I'm ever in downtown Dallas again. read more

Decent neighborhood bar. Creative menu, good food, nice drink menu, above average presentations. Tries too hard to be more than a neighbor joint. Would be so much better if the owner kept his hands and his lips off the guests and the employees. Takes it from comfortable "where everybody knows your name" Cheers vibe to super creepy, inappropriate touchy feely in the wrong places vibe. One can only wonder what goes on in the back where nobody can watch when you see what's going on in plain sight. read more

The wife and I stopped here for dinner at 5:30 and there was hardly anyone inside. We were seated right away and a kind waitress took our drink and appetizer orders immediately. We had the bucket and rope calamari and they were really good, nicely coated, fried and very tender. For an entrée I had the grilled reddish with risotto and string beans. The fish was nicely grilled with a great flavor and the risotto was a little over done, but wa svery good. The pricing was very reasonable and definitely will go back to try other items on the menu. read more

I've had my fair share of lamb chops, but the lamb chop lollipops at Bucket & Rope are truly in a league of their own. Perfectly cooked, impossibly tender, and layered with flavor. t The Chimichurri paired with the balsamic glaze is nothing short of magic. It elevates the lamb in a way that makes every bite unforgettable. And let's not overlook the refreshing bed of Brussels sprouts they're served on are crisp, vibrant, and the perfect complement to balance the richness of the chops. Hands down, the best lamb chops I've ever had. A must-order. I also had the The Rope cocktail, the drink was excellent and the bartender was very personable. The duck rope pasta is a great option too. It's is cute and simple atmosphere with good music and good people. read more

We met some friends here as this was their second trip to this restaurant. They were gushing about what a delightful experience they had and wanted us to try it. Well it was so good that I needed to provide a review. 1. Location is very near the Dallas farmers market. You have to look for it because it is in a converted brick building that is very much part of the ambiance. 2. Not sure about the name, but there is a bucket and rope above the entrance. 3. Relatively small place about 12-15 tables close together 4. Service was 9.5 5. Food was 9.5 a. We had calamari that looked like chicken fingers verse the usual round circle type. It was delicious! b. I had the 2 redfish with risotto , one branzino , and pasta dish. C. We did not have dessert but we did have cocktails that were very good too. The best thing I can say is that we are going back to try their brunch menu. read more

This was a very lovely place to go for a quiet Sunday evening. We mainly ate off the appetizer menu but also tried an entrée. We had the lamb chops, which were delicious, the barbecue shrimp and the rope in a bucket calamari that was all good. We had the wagyu beef roast that was just okay. I wish we would've ordered another appetizer instead. I would definitely recommend. They have free parking which is great for being basically downtown. read more

I wanted to like this spot....unfortunately, we didn't. Hubby had the Bucket and Rope Breakfast - the scrambled eggs were waaay overcooked (had to request new ones), the potatoes were just ok (picked out the jalapeño) and the bacon was very thin..not much to them. I had the French Toast....truly was not impressed! Yes they are crispy on the outside...problem is, they were very soggy and mushy on the inside! Also, to be honest...they didn't have much flavor. They were topped with a small amount of very thin julienned apple and some type of pecans in a syrup that had no flavor. We will not be returning. So glad the other reviewers enjoyed their food. read more

How fortunate citizens and visitors of Dallas are to have a chance to eat at this spectacular spot!!!! I was there for a volleyball tournament and stayed very close... when I browsed Yelp and saw a 4.9 rating I had to visit and let me tell you.. I was so so so happy that I did! Stoped by at an odd hour, around 3:30pm, it was pretty empty and so lovely and clean and beautifully decorated. I grabbed a seat by a very nice bar w two large TVs and was treated like a Queen! I got a cup of corn chowder ( I could not believe my fav soup ever was on a special that day). Soup was light and creamy and so so tasty! I also ordered tuna tartar. Beautiful presentation, so much flavor and quality! Last one was a lunch portion of Gigi pasta w shrimp. I know and love food and those were the juiciest shrimp I have ever had! Dish was colorful, so much taste... it has walnuts and penne pasta was cooked perfectly, all that w pesto sauce! Wow! An amazing experience and the following day I brought my friends there for dinner! We had stake and amazing lamb chop lollipops and special of the evening pasta w lobster, and of course their wonderful fried calamari! Every dish is made w love and presented beautifully! Quality is in everything there!!! We had lovely Sayde taking care of us and she was wonderful, kind and super helpful!!! We can't wait to come back next year!!!! Thank you for making our visit special! P.S. The place is packed every evening and if there are clients they stay open longer hours!!! read more

This restaurant was a nice and not too far away from the convention center. There is outdoor and indoor seating and the brunch was really good. We ordered the angry bird and the Ruby's grilled cheese. The tomato soup was really good! The Angry bird was an interesting flavor. It is really spicy and sweet. Be aware that the crepes kind of soften the crispy chicken and made a little soggy. Other than that? Great place! Will be visiting again next time I'm in Dallas. read more

Living in the area, as soon as I heard this place had opened I knew my husband and I had to plan a visit. We went for lunch today and upon sitting down, we were given bread with the best pesto (must order a pesto dish next time) Our server was kind and attentive. I asked for a recommendation based off 3 dishes that sounds good and eventually decided on the Ahi Tuna app. It was fresh and flavorful! The tostadas werent greasy in the least bit so I'm counting this as a healthy lunch choice! My husband got the burger which smelled great. The only thing left between the two of us was some French fries. Also want to note the decor and vibe is definitely a step up from the previous bar that was in this place. They kept the original beautiful features of the place but added in some nice touches and cleaned it up read more

Was in Dallas for a day celebrating our anniversary. Found this place on Yelp. It did not disappoint. Food was great, service was great. Our waiter, Dupree, wanted to make sure we had a great experience. I had the turkey melt and wife had tom bisque. We wanted to have dessert because it sounded great but we were full and had an early dinner reservation. Dupree said he never looks at Yelp but was always curious to know if he was ever mentioned - so here you go Dupree !!! read more

Stumbled in for lunch after checking out Dallas farmers market. great to see a new restaurants in this area. The service is top 10 for we've ever had in Dallas. The waiter was attentive throughout, and the team helped each other out with all tables. Food was absolutely phenomenal. Tried their daily soup, clearly was made fresh. Their chorizo hash was one of the best you can find. Wish they sold their salsa. -- that good. Prices are extremely reasonable. Will be back. One of the best options if you're in the area. read more

Arrived at 5 on Sunday to find staff lounging in the couch area but was seated at a table quickly. I asked our server 3 questions about beverages from what appeared to be a full bar and she was unable to answer any of them so I ordered water. She started walking away and had to be called back to take my daughter's drink order. We started with their Calamari appetizer which was nice; breading was tasty, calamari had a nice texture and it was not greasy. We both ordered side salads; daughter Kale Arugula Caesar and plain dinner for me. Waitress was unable to tell me what salad dressings were available so I quickly picked one out for myself from other salads on the menu. Waitress later returned stating that they had no more arugula and was that ok with us: no suggested substitutions from the chef or any indication what would be arriving. We rolled the dice and said fine and our salads arrived immediately, they had already been made so why ask? My daughters Caesar not only had no arugula it had no kale. Just anemic looking romaine. No sooner had I taken a couple of bites of salad our entrees were plopped down in front of us. I ordered the Bronzino with quinoa cherry tomatoes and capers. My food was uniformly beige and unappealing. Fish was cooked fine but tomatoes and capers had had the life cooked out of them. My daughter ordered steak frites: cook was wrong temp, broccolini served on top of frites and frites had zero salt or seasoning. Waitress never came back to check on us until we had finished poking at our food to clear our plates. When she saw that I had eaten very little of any of it she asked how it was. I responded "meh". She chuckled nervously and said " not good but not bad, ehh" as she started to scurry away. I called out to her and said I would like dessert and asked if they had the pecan pie ( several things had been "out") and she said "oh. For sure!" Only to return and say they were out of that as well. My daughter and I both ordered the bread pudding which was oddly soggy in spots, crunchy in spots and chewy. I ate the ice cream and called it quits. We then sat and waited, and waited for our check. I eventually got up and walked past the lounge /couch area where our waitress and other staff members were sitting to use the restroom. To be fair, our waitress was at least folding napkins. I asked for the check as I passed and received it shortly afterwards. In summation: service was bad, staff were way too casual and the food was terrible read more

Started off with duck taquitos and rope in a bucket. The taquitos were good but not a must-do while the Calamari was tough to chew. The entrees were much better. The wagyu pot roast was tender while the reddish was flavored well and tender too. I was apprehensive about the risotto based on some pictures I saw, but this was tasty and properly cooked. I'd come back here; slow on a Monday night and parking lot to boot. read more
