How could this be? A hotel restaurant that is a) delicious, b) friendly, c) fun, and d) reasonably priced? Yep, you found it. I often choose the Marriott Champions because of Jackdaw. I like parking my car in the afternoon and not worrying where I'll need to go eat later. I always sit at the bar as the bartenders are always friendly. You can chill by yourself but you usually can find good conversation with fellow business travelers. $5 happy hour Guinness is worth the price of admission alone, but the food is good. The lemon risotto scallops are the best thing on the menu, though if you're in a junk food mood, the Irish poutine is a sold choice. Beware though, it's very filling. You won't want dinner afterward. They also do occasional specials on the steaks, they're very good and when on special it's a must-get. I travel a lot and doubt I'll ever tire of this place. read more

At first, didn't realize this was inside the hotel. We arrived about 5:30pm on a Sunday evening. There were a few people at the bar but no one else dining inside. We were seated quickly. Everyone that served us was very friendly and nice. We had the nachos, fish & chips, burger, scallops, and tacos between the four of us. Everyone enjoyed their food. read more

Located inside the Marriott, this bar/restaurant is the go to place for those who don't have a rental car, don't want to Uber, or just tired and want a bite. First night had a ribeye steak, steamed veggies, mash potatoes. The food was hot, good, but like most ribeyes - tend to be a little fatty. 2nd night, burger and sweet potato fries. Good combo. Bartender was great and very attentive. Don't worry, I had a good work out to try and burn off these meals :-) read more

Stopped for a quick dinner after a checking in from a long day of driving and 2 beers in the clubhouse bar!! My wife enjoyed a grilled chicken sandwich (honey mustard sauced) and I had the Ale & Cheddar Potato Soup + Irish Poutine. The sandwich was good but the soup and poutine were fabulous! I love hearty soups so the Ale & Cheddar soup was great. Loaded with good Cheddar it was hard to keep it both on my spoon and off my chin and shirt! Great taste!! The Poutine was great as well served over wedge fries. Could've used more jalapeño (hey, it's Texas!) but it was really tasty. Altho a bit on the pricy side (it's a Marriott) it was filling and very tasty. read more

Incredible food and best service ever. My family and I have been here twice this week. We've had Tony and Sean as servers and absolutely had the best service and food we've had in a very long time. It's a wonderful atmosphere on the patio the golf course. They are family friendly, and we will be returning here and recommend this restaurant! Reach read more

I wish the restaurant was on top floor with the golf course around it. It's a great spot with excellent service! High end food matches well.

Great food and ambience, and even better service!!! Toni is the best!!! Toni is patient, helpful and fun! She is personable and made us feel at home! Thank you Toni for being YOU!!! read more

Stayed at the Mariott where Jackdaw is located. Most of their clients seem to be people traveling for business. Jackdaw seems to be more busy on the weekdays so the there wasn't much of a weekend crowd when we ate here! My wife and I ended up sharing a few different dishes and were very pleasantly surprised! The pretzel bites appetizer was fresh and soft. The brussel sprouts were a great blend of salty, sweet, and savoury! The baked potato soup was great, and my favorite out of all was the Scallop Risotto! The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto was beautifully rich! Drinks were also reasonably priced! If you're a local, definitely give this place a try! The hotel has its own parking lot so you won't have to worry about looking for parking! Just to be safe, call ahead to see if you'll need a reservation. Great place for a date and very friendly staff! read more

We spent the last few days at a conference at this hotel. A lot of our time was at the bar and our service was incredible! Toni was the shining star! She was the absolute best. I wish she was my bartender every time I travel! read more

We go to Jack Daw often. It's a local favorite. We have tried just about everything in the menu. Our only thing that changed for us today was the charcuterie, it just didn't live up to the normal standard. Good. Just not it's normal presentation. read more

In the Marriott. Front desk people greeted us. Other random friendly employees told me where the bathroom was after I got up and started looking around for a second. Upbeat music. Good lighting. Good neighborhood. Across from Dallas Ft Worth Speedway. Delicious drink that the bartender made me. Hubby got a reuben. I got a salad that starts with a C. I forget. ....This drink is so good. We are sitting by the window. Overlooking the golf course. We are sitting at a table. I see people sitting at the bar. There is sports on the bar televisions. Conscientious, friendly staff. Upbeat place. read more

My third visit, and I'm officially impressed. Manager Annette and Ms. Toni orchestrated the full-to-overflowing dining room with more than the average number of large parties: groups of gamers (Root, Catan, more), teams decompressing after a week of solar car competition, golfers just in from the links. Great food, service so good that no one waited for anything, and a bar scene that hopped. Who knew that a hotel restaurant could be this well managed, let alone this successful? Thanks read more

This restaurant was either understaffed or completely disorganized. No one greeted us to sit even though there was a sign that said to wait. Finally asked the bartender and they said to sit anywhere. Waited 15 minutes for someone from waitstaff to bring us anything (menu, water) then decided to go somewhere else. read more

We love you Toni Let me tell you why We booked Marriott last minute on a trip passing through Dallas. Toni not only took our drink order, but made our cocktails to perfection. The food was excellent! Toni suggested that we go with the local beef. It was worth the extra $ Toni gave us background on the local beef producers. She made our last minute stay into an experience. We are so happy that we stayed in the hotel for dinner. Sorry I don't have any dinner photos to attach. We were in the moment of just being. The restaurant is very nice and has a warm feel with beautiful personalties providing outstanding service. read more

Located in the Marriott hotel. The service was excellent and very friendly. They made sure that for my colleagues the drinks kept flowing. My initial order they ran out of, so I had to select something else. I had the filet which they butterflied; not sure why. I had ordered medium and it was well done. My salad was pretty bland. It's convenient to come here when in a pinch, but likely not a first choice for any reason. read more

The atmosphere and the bar tender are great! Unfortunately it goes down from there. We got our drinks and appetizer pretty quickly. Then we waited over 30 minutes to order our food. While we were waiting to order, the one waiter in the whole place came and took several of our menus because they needed them for another table. No worries, we aren't in a huge hurry. When we finally received our food, another 30-45 minutes later, it was not cooked properly. They clearly need more help! The guy here was incredibly nice, professional and running from tables to the bar to try to take care of everyone. So if you are in charge, maybe schedule more people on a Saturday night. Super disappointed. read more

All the food is fabulous - especially The steaks! The service is top notch. Our waitress Toni is the best! You won't be disappointed! My favorite place in Ft. Worth! read more

Phenomenal food and service! I can't wait to come back soon. The Irish Mac n Cheese was so good!

Went on St Patrick's day. Good service and food came out quick. Corn beef was pretty good and so was the scallops.

Five stars for service from Toni... I've never seen anyone running like she did on a busy race nascar night (with a restaurant packed of customers). Despite the kitchen running behind .. she was positive and upfront as soon as we sat down. This lady is manager material and cares as if this was her own restaurant. As far as the food 3.5 stars .. The grilled fish taco was bland but expected for bar food. The Mac and cheese was better but needed more salt. Toni is great and a very valuable employee. read more

Decided to give this place a try. It's fairly new and in the lobby of the Marriott. Nice furnishings and decor. The atmosphere is a little loud but not unbearably so. We ordered the scotch eggs, soda bread and pimento, the potato soup, and the mac and cheese. I didn't care for the flavor of the sausage in the Scotch eggs but my husband thought it was ok. The soda bread needed to be toasted a bit more but all 3 pieces we had weren't toasted very evenly. The potato soup needed lots of salt added but was otherwise ok. I had a glass of the Simi but it tasted like it had been opened for a few days, and I didn't finish it. The best thing we had was the mac and cheese. The dish was big enough to split between us considering all the other food we tried. The server was friendly and accommodating. My only complaint is that all of the food practically came out at the same time, which is an annoying inconvenience but not a complete deal breaker. read more

Stopped in while looking for something other than fast food. Really surprised - food was great and the selection was plenty. Ate at the bar and was comfortable even with a large, loud party in there as well. Will definitely come back. read more

I had the corn beef with mashed potatoes and grilled veggies for main course. It's so damn good. Best corn beef I have ever had. I had the bourbon pecan pie. Let me tell you, I usually do not like pecan pie. This was hands down the best pie I have ever had in my life. It's so damn good. Eat here. read more

Toni (and Annette too) is the reason I drive an extra 20 miles to stay at the hotel. The bar is fun and the food is real good. Plus, they have a good selection of libations to choose from. But the real reason is the heart and care they put into their work to make customers feel welcome! Cheers ladies!!! read more

I'm completely at a loss how this restaurant has such a high rating. The restaurant is really just an extension of the bar. We had to ask if the seating area was actually the restaurant. Our table didn't even have salt or pepper. Our appetizer, the lamb meatballs, were tough with something of a skin around the meatball. There was no sign of the promised goat cheese. The yoghurt tasted like a vanilla yoghurt with an odd seasoning. The lingonberry sauce was far too sweet for the dish. In short it was awful. The Caesar salad with Brussel sprouts was ok. My salmon was quite dry and served with a risotto which was really a wet microwaved instant rice. My wife's burger was very salty and had bacon which tasted of nothing and onions which also had no flavor at all. Service consisted of three people to run the restaurant and bar. The waiters were too stretched and the service suffered. read more

It says open at lunch but does not till 3. Hotel and worker place for nearby airport. Realty wanted to try it.

Good creative Cajun and seafood. Had the shrimp étouffe and dirty rice which were both good

Tony is quick, efficient and has a great personality to compliment the dining experience. She is an exceptional one 10/10 Salmon was delicious too read more

The 5 stars is for the staff (and the food is darn good too). I have to come to Texas for work, and nothing against Texas, but I hate it. I came across this hotel because I wanted a Marriott and a bar along with it. Let me tell you, the bartenders, Annette and Toni, are AMAZING. For someone who is a "home body", I really feel like they care about me ( and I know they do). Along with the front desk crew (which I've talked to for hours after coming here multiple times a year). The rooms are on the upside of "as expected" (Platinum Elite member). Home away from home especially when it's a place you have no desire to be at. The staff is just great. I think this is my first review ever, and I never give my opinions for free. In this case, I had to. The word needs to be out about these wonderful folks because they deserve it. read more

Work evenings near so I thought I would get a burger to go. The burger did have a better flavor than the fast food joints around, but the problem was I had to ask for condiments and utensils. When I got back to the office the the fries had kind of lost there firmness. Overall the burger beat the other vendors in the area. read more

Food is delicious and the service and ambiance were great that's why we keep going there.

Toni is an absolute GEM! The charcuterie board and Mac n cheese were amazing as well!

I've never met such amazing bartenders! They truly care and remember you. I appreciate when I come in and Annette, G or Toni ask where have I been!?!? They are personable and professional. Plus the drinks and food are AMAZING! This place is a hidden gem. read more

Jackdaw - a margarita in a glass on a napkin - Irish Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I went to this restaurant a week ago with my hubby and was amazed by the waiter service. If you want to be treated like a human, not just another customer, "G" is your guy. Gerardo was very attentive, knowledgeable and cordial. He knows the restaurant products from top to bottom and the recommendations given were top knotch. "G", you made our night memorable with your excellent customer service and all the attention given during our visit. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you and God bless you always. read more

It was fine. It is all the ambiance of every hotel bar I've ever been in. They didn't have any craft cocktails (or cocktail menu at all). The Old Fashioned was syrupy and warm, but okay after I let the ice dilute. The reuben was decent, but also $17. Overall, it's a fine restaurant if you're staying in the hotel and really don't want to go a half mile down the road to a proper restaurant, but I guess I just don't get the love they have on Yelp (unless they used to be markedly better). read more
