A beautiful restaurant with an inviting covered patio. The vibe is amazing and welcoming. Staff is attentive and well trained. Their Tavern Chicago style pizza is delicious. Appetizer Spinach Artichoke Dip is a great starter Salads,sandwiches, and house specialties are very tasty and popular! The bar is a centerpiece and stocked with all your favorites. If you're looking for a first class experience, this is a place to begin. See you there! read more

Great casual ambience. Thought the ambience and vibe was better than their north Dallas location. Hostess made us feel welcome and service by Bernie was exceptional; friendly, helpful, attentive, and let us set the pace. After enjoying some cocktails we were ready for entrees. Friends shared a Mack Pizza and enjoyed it. The cheeseburger and fries, as well as the Parmesan Chicken were delicious. My wife couldn't quit raving on the chicken. The Wiilamette Pinot Noir was delicious. read more

Great food! Great drinks! And the staff?! AMAZING! Our waiter, Parker, he was such a sweetheart...attentive, great service and just so charismatic. We loved him so much, had a great time! That Lemon Drop and the Peach Bellini were great, could've ordered those all night. I tried the spicy rigatoni pasta and I'll definitely be ordering that next time. The spinach dip was a great way to start, with the salsa and sour cream. And I think next time I might make my own pizza. Loved the thin crust! read more

DL Macks - Honey Truffle Chicken Pizza - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Just had dinner. Our waiter was Alex, his service was the best we've ever had. Every time we had an empty water he was there filling it. Once our drink napkins were wet, we got new ones napkins. He brought us a to go box before we even asked for one. Could not say enough about our experience. If you can get Alex as a waiter you be treated like royalty. read more

I keep giving rigatoni a try. I'm going to have to accept that it just isn't my pasta. I got the Chicken Parmesan that came with rigatoni. The chicken parm was really good. Want to win me over? Put lots of cheese. The rigatoni? Not bad, just not my preferred pasta. It didn't help that while the chicken was hot, the pasta wasn't. I got the famous chicken tenders to go (tomorrow's lunch). They tasted really good, but I was not aware that the breading would be soft instead of crispy. That could have made them perfect. She let me know that the strips came with coleslaw and suggested fries instead. I said yes, because why not. Be warned that there's an up charge for the fries, not a substitute. In addition , the fries are just placed in a sack, not a closed container, but a sack. I also ordered a Bellini. It was way too strong. I asked if I could get one with less alcohol and was told they're premade. No offer to take it back. I think one reviewer said theirs had very little alcohol. I guess it depends on who's on Bellini patrol. read more

Great casual diner with a classy Chicago tavern-like feel to it. Our server was great- super friendly and had a lot to share about the menu! We all got the spicy rigatoni which had an excellent red chili sauce that paired nicely with the unique stracciatella. I'd say it had a tasteful spice but the spicy food fiends out there might be left unsatisfied. The brownie!!!! was also just as good as it looks! Magically it wasn't too sweet even with the cherry filling and ice cream on top. Sweet treats are my biggest weakness so I might be a little biased, but my friends also had positive reviews so you can take their word for it too. Overall great experience, a little pricey but worth it if you're looking for a nice spot to dine in. read more

I really enjoy this place. Def has that SMU feeling to it with a mix of Cheers (yes the TV show). Food and service in the few times I've been here has been good. I come for the tavern style pizza which may not be home, but gives me what I need when I wan that feeling. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be call Norm for the many times I'd be here. read more

This is a good spot. I had the chicken parm I give it 7 out of 10 the portion size was appropriate for the price and the flavor was delicious. Service was cool no complaints. read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Can't beat a crispy crust and flavorful ingredients. Also the Gibson salad was delicious. To add our sever was great and the covered patio seating was well ventilated and welcoming. With no reservation on a weekend, we were seated in seconds Overall I actually have no complaints about my experience or the food. Is this a fine dining establishment? No, but it doesn't need to be to earn 5 stars. All I can say is that I need to come back ASAP! read more

We tried this place for lunch recently and had a good experience. We were sat in a booth on the side of the bar and it was comfortable and quiet. We tried the deviled eggs and the fries to start with. Both had great flavor. The tuna melt was tasty. The sauce on it should be an option for the fries. The white truffle gnocchi was delicious. I added chicken at the recommendation of our server and it was fantastic . Our service was great. We can't wait to come back to try more menu items. read more

Delicious food and decent service. The ambiance is very similar to Hudson House and the food is tasty. It is a little on the pricier side but the ambiance makes up for that. We came for lunch on a weekend and it was not super packed which was nice. They have a patio that is heated and enclosed during the winter which makes for plenty of more searing options. The food itself was tasty and the portions are plenty big. The burger was delicious and their shoestring fries are not to be missed. Cracker crust pizza and huge chicken parm as well! I'd definitely recommend this spot for a great meal! The only miss for us was our server was a but slow in checking on us but was not the end of the world. read more

This is an INSPIRED Chicago restaurant. Not very close to Chicago. Staring off with their beers... you can't try even being a Chicago tavern when you don't have old style. We got the chicken tenders and as they were good, they were Japanese style not Chicago. The pizza was good, but the thin crust is a totally different thin crust in Chicago as well as they're Italian sausage. But as a Dallas restaurant trying to be a Chicago Tavern not bad. read more

Great spot! 4.5-star. Good drinks, very lively atmosphere and great service. Alex is super chill fantastic server. The mozzarella bites are phenomenal recommend side of spicy ranch. The spicy rigatoni is awesome (we added sausage). The pizza is good. But the rigatoni and mozzarella bites are the gold move here. At time of writing this DL Mack's had 3.5 star rating which confuses me... it's better than "mid". read more

I visited the Preston Location and I will say the staff was very nice. Service was good and since they're located in a big parking lot, parking isn't an issue. The food was tasty but I think the specialization is the pizza. I had the spicy pasta and it definitely had a kick!. Overall I do plan to visit them again. read more

Yes, yes, and another yes! Service was great, the staff was prompt and attentive. We started with the gin cocktail which was light and fresh. The mozzarella bites were lightly battered and served with a marinara sauce that was slightly sweet. The Caesar salad was the bomb! And the cornbread croutons were innovative and I wish there was more. They are known for their tavern pizza which I highly recommend. Good ratio of cheese and pepperoni to sauce and crust! read more

Fantastic dining option from the Vandelay group. The ambiance is super warm in here and can be great for many occasions including date night or getting together with friends. We enjoyed a regular martini and espresso martini which were part of a great happy hour. We then split a salad and pizza (Bill Murray Special) which were also amazing. This was one of the more enjoyable dining experiences we have had recently and plan on coming back. read more

I really like DL Mack's! I've been to both locations and they are equally great places to enjoy. I'm from Chicago and miss the food so it's right up my alley. Staff at both are great seem to be trained well and attentive. And the ambiance is nice they have created a great experience. I'm torn every time I go but I think I figured it out. They have created a fine dining experience with a limited menu and a lot of pub food. It's like a pub wanting to be more than a pub. I love the attire of the staff and appreciate the attempt. Even the food is not disappointing but it's pricy for what you get. It's enjoyable but I'm always thinking as I'm sitting there, I'm missing something and I think it's the connection between fine dining and pub. It doesn't quite connect. Great casual dinning! read more

Sam is the best! He was so kind, fun and helpful! Would come back because of him (and the food was bomb!)

I wish I took pictures but totally forgot. A friend and I met up here for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty empty. I did have my baby in a car seat and felt like the booths were a little tight. Other than that, it was a good dining experience. I ordered the tuna melt which was so delicious and a beauty. The salad it came with was also very good. My friend ordered the bill murray special and we both liked that as well. Hot honey on a pizza is always the right move. I would definitely come back for the tuna melt. read more

Our group recently ate dinner at the Hillcrest location of DL Macks. We enjoyed most of our experience. I ordered a non-alcoholic beverage, labeled as such on the menu. Unfortunately, the server brought me the drink with alcohol in it. I noticed the taste of alcohol but before I got the opportunity to mention this to our server, the manager came to our table to let us know about the error. They apologized and I accepted it as an honest mistake. For other people, however, this kind of mistake cannot happen. While it does not negatively impact my review, others need to know about the situation because of its potential liability. I think some confusion might occur because they placed "non-alcoholic" in parentheses on the menu. Everyone, from the bartenders and servers to the customers, needs to align on what that means by default. Other than this, our group really enjoyed our time at the restaurant. We felt its "old Chicago" design offered a casual and fun atmosphere for you to dress up or down depending on the occasion. We found that the food, especially the pizza, tasted fantastic! And, despite the initial issue with the non-alcoholic beverage, we experienced good service. Overall, I recommend DL Macks. Make reservations because they get busy! Also, they do not offer a valet service. You might find it difficult to park in the lot. But, you can park on one side of the neighborhood street or in the nearby garage with its public parking entrance on the other side. read more

Service was good as there were very few people in the restaurant at lunch hour. Had to send back the chicken strips since there was minimal chicken with 75% breading. The Chinese salad was tasty but too many tortilla strips... won't go there again. First and last time for me. One positive is they brought out a hamburger after we pointed out the inedible chicken strips. Many other neighboring restaurants that are highly rated. Avoid THIS one! read more

I visited this spot on a Friday. The service was great, though we waited 45 minutes to be seated. Thankfully, I had good company, so the wait flew by. The atmosphere gave off authentic Italian restaurant vibes. The menu wasn't extensive, but it offered a good selection. The drinks were excellent and worth the price--I definitely plan to come back for happy hour! The honey truffle chicken pizza was so good that we were already planning our return after the first bite. I'll absolutely be back. 10/10! read more

Is this even a question. Do I recommend this place. You're joking. HECK YES! Yall the staff is so freaking kind. And the food and drinks are so good. My husband and I love this date spot. The pizza. THE PIZZA. Mouth watering. Yall this salad is delicious. If you don't like salad I don't care try this salad and you'll like salad. THE DESSERT BROTHER IS IMMACULATE. The cherry freaking brownie WHAT!! And the sundae. Yall come on. Oh and the cocktails. The dirty martini I die. Ok 5 stars that's all. read more

I'm an smu student, and this has been my go-to spot for 3 years. I've always loved the atmosphere, but their new menu is very controversial for a lot of DL Mack's regulars. They took away so many solid menu items (rip Tuna Melt) and added 3 new burgers which just feels unnecessary. I was also surprised that they didn't take this opportunity to add more gluten free options. I still love DL Mack's but it's just not the same! read more

We met some friends here and it was a lot of fun! The food was very good! We all got some drinks which were tasty. The food was incredible. We got two of the same pizza plus my chicken entree and our friend got a burger. The pizza and my chicken were very good! I didn't want to give any of my entree to my girlfriend because it was so good. However our friends burger he said was not very good :(. Our waitress was very nice and friendly but sometimes took a while to get her attention. Overall a great experience and I think I would definitely come back! read more

We found D.L. Mack's while running errands in Dallas and it as an unexpected delight! It was a weekday afternoon and not busy at all for a lunch crowd. Had an old school charm with the dark wood, lighting and tiling; loved the classic look of it all! Our server was nice but a little slow when it came to refilling waters or checking on us. Kitchen was rather slow as well even for our salads to come out took quiet a while. While service was slow, food was great! We both ordered a Caesar salad each and split a Bill Murray Special pizza. The crust had the perfect balance of crispiness and chewiness, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Our accidental discovery of D.L. Mack's turned out to be a delightful surprise. We plan to visit again when we are in the area in hopes of better and faster service. read more

DL Macks is very good upscale bar food. We sometimes go to the location at Preston Royal, but decided to try the University Park location. It was excellent. The vibe was good and our service was great. The menu is similar to Houston's/Hillstone, with really good pizza and lots of signature cocktails. We had their spinach and artichoke dip, which was tasty (after we sent it back since it originally arrived cold). The deviled eggs were good as well. My wife got the McCarthy salad, which was quite large, savory and full of chicken. I got the salmon which was also very good and served with a healthy side of coleslaw. Make a reservation on Resy, because it gets crowded. read more
