Specials for the day
Todd R.

You walk in music is playing, there's a few TVs over the bar. Everyone was a little confused as there was a rush. There is enough seating to me comfortable. There are specials like a bacon wrapped corn dog. I also ordered fried pickles. Hope they are good . So the fried pickles came, I don't know if I would buy them again they're OK but you only get five pieces for $10. I always look at how good service is. That and food make you come back. Every staff member checks on you here. They all help each other. Usually I get a waiter or waitress that will say since I'm not their customer they will get my waiter, not here. Good service !

Corn bread balls with honey (we ate most of them)

Cute restaurant. A little pricey but the food was good. The service was friendly and reasonably paced.

Wedge salad with crispy chicken
Bryan W.

Not for locals, but a good spot overall. You know your are in a tourist zone when the first question is where are you from. The staff was very friendly though and we really enjoyed the visit. We order the queso Blanco with pork rinds. It was okay queso, but not up to the standard of what we are used to. Perfect for tourists who can't stand any spice. The Wedge salad was pretty basic. Not many toppings, but the chicken we added was fresh and juicy. Overall we won't be back unless we just wanted some beers and maybe some wings. We saw those ordered and they looked delicious.

Peach Burger with fries
Lia B.

Stopped in after our visit to the 6th Floor Museum. The place was nearly empty, so we got undivided attention from our server. Food arrived quickly and nicely prepared. Peach burger had an ample amount of blue cheese. The Fritos on the chili burger added a satisfying crunch. Fish tacos were very spicy. Highly recommend the saloon's signature drink- a lovely mix of apple brandy lemon juice and grenadine. The atmosphere was welcoming, but very "quiet" in the late afternoon.

Peach Habenero Burger and tots
Brandon D.

Wanted to get away from the overpriced downtown Dallas meals. Found Jack Ruby's and I'm glad I did. The building is amazing with live music on the weekends. Friendly wait staff and super quick service. The menu has great options and everyone left with a full belly!

A great little place to visit next to the sixth floor museum. Food was typical bar food but tasty. The service was fine.

Reviews are largely positive. People appreciate the lively atmosphere with live music, friendly and attentive staff, and a varied bar food menu. Drinks are reasonably priced.

I had a chili dog Texas style! It was delicious! We came for lunch and enjoyed it! We walked here from the JFK museum at the depository.

great food . The Hummel Bros. hot dog is the best in DFW. The bologna sandwich is a better version of the ones my Aunt use to make.

This resturant is one of my boyfriend and i's go-to places when we want a nice meal! I was not…read morefeeling incredibly hungry this night, so I opted for two shareables. We had two servers and both were kind and helpful with taking our order and getting drinks and food out on time! The restaurant is mood-lit and vibey. It's a calm atmosphere and their bar area is stunning. I got the fries and friends, which came with three dipping sauces. This is a very generous portion and my boyfriend and I were unable to finish it between the two of us- would be great to share with 4 people, in my opinion! I also got the Brussel sprouts, which I did finish. They are cooked to perfection and have an incredible garlic sauce. They used to have grapes mixed in, which I LOVED! However, they have since changed the menu. I understand it was an odd pairing and maybe guests didn't want to try it, but it was great!!! Sad to see it change, but still good! My boyfriend and I both got the great rum punch, and it packed a punch! Although l couldn't taste the alcohol on the sweet drink, I could feel it! We had a great time and will be back. We wanted to recommend the charcuterie board, we get it most times we come! They always have fresh and seasonal options they put on the board and have even made a fully vegetarian board for me before, they're great!

One of my online Toastmasters' clubs scheduled their Fall Social at Whiskey Cake. We have a social…read moreeach quarter to keep the members connected even though we meet virtually. It looked like we were going to have close to 20 members and spouses attending. We were going to have a great time. Fortunately we had made reservations since we had a large group. Our table was ready when we arrived. Anna, our server, greeted us with smiles and asked what the celebration was for. We explained we were having our quarterly in-person social for our online speaking club. She took our drink and appetizer orders. I ordered an Old Fashion, one of my all-time favorite cocktails. I've never met an Old Fashion I didn't like. We all had a great time visiting With each other and catching up on all the goings ons. Cynthia also took our food orders in between our conversations. My wife and I decided to share a Reuben sandwich with fries. Neither one of us was super hungry. After a short wait, our entrees started arriving. The Reuben sandwich was very good. Personally, I like my Reubens with pastrami instead of corned beef. But overall it was good. As we finished our entrees, it was time to start breaking up and heading home. My wife and I ordered a Whiskey Cake, a sticky toffee type cake, to take home since we were too full to enjoy dessert at the restaurant. Thank you Cynthia and the Whiskey Cake staff for an enjoyable visit.
