Six hungry hippos prepared for an evening on the dance floor with the help of Limon's. Enchiladas Verdes, Tacos Al Pastor, Chilaquiles, and Empanadas filled the enormous table we occupied. A sight to behold. My Enchiladas were too tall of a task to complete, but tasty enough to try. I'm no daisy to be stepped on by spicy fare, yet this color green packed a punch. Consider this your PSA. To my right, Ryan experienced an ethereal moment of awakening. These shells of pork were "the best he'd had" and this was backed quickly by the ever-reliable Mr. Pugh. You may not know these gentlemen, but consider them reputable sources in Dallas dining. Limon's is undeniably tasty. I'd come back here, yet the prices and egregiously loud TV may hold others from returning. Couple notches quieter wouldn't hurt, ya know?

Actually, everybody working was super friendly. I ordered the chicken fried BLT and she got the chicken fried steak. Our main entrées were great. She ordered sides of broccoli, fried okra and mac & cheese and I got a side of onion rings and then we also had the rolls and cornbread. The fried okra and bread were great. I appreciated that they gave us plenty of butter for the bread! The mac & cheese and onion rings were not very good. I will say she told me that they can be inconsistent with quality, but since they have a newer chef, things are getting better. I will definitely be back and try more things on the menu. as far as the mac & cheese, it was not very flavorful and the pasta was way overcooked. The onion rings were also way overcooked or frozen or something too. It's hard to explain, but they were tough. I did enjoy my sandwich though! I also really wanna try the pie, It looks amazing. I also thought the texas/americana decor was very cute.

After waters were delivered, our drink order wasn't taken for at least 15-20 minutes after getting there. We placed our drink order and then waited, and waited, and waited for our first round of drinks to come. At one point I made the joke that I should be on my second drink by now(this turned into a joke about how I should be on my third). When the drinks finally came, everyone but mine was delivered, the waitress said that she was running back up to grab mine. She came back with my drink 10 minutes later. At this point we just placed our orders for food and I decided to place my next drink order at this point to help with the wait time. The waitress came back with the appetizer and I actually placed another drink order as well before my second drink came because I wanted to stay ahead of the game. 2nd and 3rd drinks actually came at a reasonable time and I started feeling like the night was turning around. Spoiler Alert: It wasn't. Entrees were delivered and surprise surprise, the food that was ordered with mine was delivered but mine was not. Waited for another long period of time and then my food was delivered. Was an apology of any sort ever given, no. Our waitress came to check back on the table very sparingly to the point we were waiting to place a dessert order so long we decided to take it to go. Ordered the monkey bread, got back to eat it and all the dough was raw. $200 bill between food and drinks for my wife and I and an appetizer for the table(there were others and other bills as well), still tipped 20% but there I would never recommend this restaurant for the service or the food. Great atmosphere great views. Service doesn't match the vibe.

Against our better judgment, we ordered a chocolate crème brûlée, which was a new dessert for all of us and even though we only planned on having a few bites, we almost finished it. Absolutely amazing if you're a chocolate connoisseur. Teamwork is obvious a waitress we didn't know offered to box up our pizzas.

Our server, Miles, was genuinely friendly and warm, with great suggestions to match. He struck that ideal balance of attentive without hovering, and he made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. We opted for lighter lunches, a few salads and tacos, and everything was excellent. The ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell real thought went into building the menu. It's the kind of food that proves "light lunch" doesn't have to mean settling. The atmosphere deserves its own mention. The Southern aesthetic is done beautifully: country music in the background, thoughtful decor, and an easy, inviting energy. Everyone working was friendly, and it showed in the overall experience. Whether you're local or just passing through, this one is worth the stop. Highly recommend.

You can really tell there's creativity and thought put into every plate--it's not just good food, it's a full experience. Their menu occasionally changes, however you cannot go wrong with any dish. The ambience was wonderful, with a relaxed, inviting vibe and soft background music that enhanced the dining experience without ever being too loud. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I would absolutely love to come back and try more, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and flavorful.

Pillar confuses me. On our first visit, we loved it SO much. Highlights:…read more 1) The sake martini with a blend of three gins? Mind blowing. 2) The yellowtail crudo with champagne dressing and blackberries? Light, refreshing, and yet hearty at the same time. 3) The fried chicken? Definitely exceeded my expectations. How fried chicken can be this delicious is beyond me. 4) Crispy brown butter rice? I mean, how can you go wrong? On our second visit, it was a major letdown: 1) That mind-blowing sake martini? NO LONGER ON THE MENU. SOB. 2) Would you like one of these other cocktails? SIKE, we're out of ingredients for about half of them. Yes, at 7 pm on a Saturday evening. ...deep sigh... ...okay, but the food...surely the food is still good...right...?...well.... 3) The yellowtail crudo? Somehow...not as impressive this time around... 4) The fried chicken? Also a little bit of a letdown this time around. Just...not as memorable or awesome. I don't think this was just us missing our sake martini, because our dining companions were new to Pillar and also felt the fried chicken was a little underwhelming. We love, love, love Mot Hai Ba (same chef). It is consistent perfection every time. Pillar just falls a bit short of expectations. The food is solid, but the consistency wasn't there across our two visits. If we had started with the second experience, we probably wouldn't have come back (much less encouraged friends to join us). And after the second experience, we haven't really wanted to go back. The ambiance is fine. It's a shotgun of a restaurant, and the awkward booths in the middle are, well, awkward. That said, I love that it doesn't feel so perfectly curated as the Duro or Vandelay restaurants. There's something a bit more homey to this place, and that's refreshing. I really do miss that martini something fierce...if anyone out there knows the secret ingredients, would you please send me the recipe?? I know there are a million sake martinis in the world, but something about that gin blend was just magical.
