I've visited several Neighborhood Services locations, particularly the one in Addison and, most recently, the North Oak Lawn location in Dallas. Both have been very enjoyable experiences. What I especially appreciate is their casual but elevated atmosphere. You get the friendly, relaxed feeling of a neighborhood bar or pub, but with the attentive service you'd typically expect from a more upscale restaurant. I arrived for an early dinner and found the bar packed with an after-work crowd, while the dining room was still relatively quiet, with guests just beginning to arrive. I enjoyed a glass of wine and their steak frites, both excellent. The steak was perfectly prepared, and the fries were wonderfully crisp on the outside and soft and tender inside. Simple dishes, but very well executed. Neighborhood Services strikes a nice balance between casual and refined. It's a great choice for a relaxed dinner, a date night, or simply hanging out at the bar with a drink. Definitely a place I'll continue to visit. read more

Wednesday Evening 7:30 reservation - Arrived 15 min early and promptly seated. Positive Items: the Ahi Tuna Nachos were on point. Meh Items: Unsure if it was the server or the bartender but we ordered 2 dirty martini with regular olives - What appeared was one with regular olives and the other with blue cheese. Unsure where the disconnect may be but leaning to the server. Server was a airhead - Asked for a knife to slice a cheeseburger - Handed a butter knife. Asked for ketchup and salt - Arrived late or totally forgotten. Presented our CC before the check arrived. Server forgot that it was in their back pocket and had to remind that we already handed over our plastic. Needs Attention: The Cheeseburger is a glorified BigMac with Thousand Island as their SECRET Sauce. So asked to sub out the sauce for BBQ sauce. That was a mistake on me but in actuality I call out the KITCHEN as BBQ sauce should not taste like TexMex with a massive CUMIN taste! Made the burger DISGUSTING - So don't sub out the sauce. However the Patty isn't seasoned at all -- BLAND as can be.... Then the cheese which was tasteless and just 'glued' the hamburger patty to the top of the bun. So In my opinion SKIP this entree you can get better at that price point ELSEWHERE! Husband got the PORK RIBS - Same CUMIN LOADED BBQ sauce - Terrible. The ribs are from a steamer cabinet so the pool of water/ moisture pouring into the plate makes a SWIMMING POOL for the french fries and coleslaw floating in the dish. Not a recommendation. French Fries were plentiful and the most PROPERLY seasoned item presented all night. But to spend $160 for adequate french fries is a DISAPPOINTMENT! read more

Had dinner Thursday evening on my way back from a flight from Dallas Love Field. Thought it would be a great way to avoid traffic. We were seated immediately without a reservation. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We split the wedge salad, which was good and a large portion. The decor could use an update, as the booths seemed very worn. Had martinis, which were not great. I definitely don't recommend. The fish was good but overcooked. We loved our first visit at this restaurant, but the food lacked the quality of the last time, especially for the price point. I would skip this location next time for the price. read more

We finally checked this place out for lunch and had a great experience. The place is spacious with seating at the bar and dining room. We had a comfortable booth just for the 2 of us. Our server Alex was amazing. He was personable and gave great recommendations. We started with the deviled egg appetizer. The order came with 5 and they had great flavor, especially with the bacon jam. My wife ordered the seared ahi sandwich and I tried the London broil steak frites. Everything had great flavor and came out quick. My steak was cooked perfectly. The portion sizes matched the price. We can't wait to come back to try more menu items. read more

Ate their again this week. Varied menu, nice sized portions, excellent service, excellent wait staff, always make you feel welcome. High quality fresh food, keeps us coming back. Really relaxing spot! read more

We enjoyed everything we got for lunch. The deviled eggs were really good. I was pleasantly surprised. I also got the Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken was good, but the salad was just ok. I didn't taste the guac, but I did have the pimento cheese and it was good, but a bit spicy. My sister got the tuna rice cakes. She said that it was good, but needed like an aioli drizzle. I'd go back for the deviled eggs alone. read more

Excellent service and very good food. Very nice atmosphere at a manageable price. Would highly recommend to a couple eating or a family.

Best service. Our anniversary and everyone was so kind. They gave us complimentary Champaign and we had four different people come congratulate us. We went early (5ish) and was very quiet and unhurried. Cool place read more

Ordered their pasta special tonight and a blood orange marg! It was yummy. Ambience is nice! Our waitress was very attentive, friendly, and she checked on us often to where my water was always full. This is something I love as a fast water drinker at restaurants! They usually have a hard time keeping up. Overall, a good spot! read more

New Year's Eve dinner was at Neighborhood services this year. It was great because it was regular dinning and not inflated for the holiday. All of our other favorites spots added a price fixe menu and prices were absurd. So sad. However, NS, knew how to do it right. The host and hostesses were very friendly and welcoming right from the get go. Beautiful restaurant inside and packed to the max that night. Our server was very kind and was very busy but did his best. We had several servers and managers come by to deliver food and drinks as well. It was a team effort. It was a wonderful evening. We had a delicious time. Happy New Year. Go check them out and enjoy! I failed to take a picture of the delicious meatballs we also order at each location we've visited. read more

You gotta start with the pimento cheese and guac dip!! The fried asparagus was surprisingly delicious and the burger was cooked to perfection. The burger sometimes comes out uncut so if that is something that is really important to you, I suggest you request to get it cut to save your server a trip. Service was a little lackluster but the restaurant ambiance and food were great. Almost forgot to mention, their drinks (especially the ranch water) were delicious. P.s. their restroom literally had everything from tampons, q tips, mouthwash, floss, and etc. honestly a slay for that read more

Came for a last minute work holiday dinner having never heard of this place before and boy was i pleasantly surprised. When you enter it's a large place with plenty of options for parties of varying sizes. They have a lot of options on the menu, but the menu isn't overly large..: thankfully. They have plenty of drink options but i recommend the old fashioned. Also the fish of the day was amazing paired with the brussel sprouts. And the service was great especially seeing as our party was 8 people no ones glass was empty. read more

Just moved back to Dallas and decided to come have dinner here again. This has never been a bad spot but in the six months since we left something has for sure changed. The food was the best it's ever been, our waiter (Marcus) was super attentive and on point with the recommendations. Music was at a great level, we didn't have to talk over each other. 10/10 will be coming back. read more

5 stars. If I could give more stars, I would. I was recently part of a large group on a Saturday night. Our server, Marcus, was exceptional. Great sense of humor, energy, and calmly took care of our group celebrating 3 birthdays. A storm came in and knocked out power halfway through our visit. All the wait staff and managers came over to give us their attention and took exceptional care of us. We had to leave quickly and take food to go, per safety requirements. The whole team managed chaos in the dark with complete calmness. They even went as far as to hang a small rechargeable light above our table so we could make light of the situation. We left phone numbers and took record of our orders and offered to pay when the power came back. We didn't expect this but ultimately they wrote off the meal. Very warm gesture. The food and drinks were fantastic, can't wait to visit again. read more

Love this restaurant. So much better than other locations such as their location at the Star in Frisco. Service is great here. Had a small problem with the food which was quickly corrected. Wish we lived closer and could dine more often here. Eat at the bar. They are so attentive read more

Love this place! No idea why it doesn't have better reviews. Moved to the neighborhood 6mos ago and have sat at the bar every other week since. Bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Always enjoy the ahi avocado crudo and their HUGE serving of fries. Pro tip: get the voodoo sauce to dip your fries in. We've also tried the meatloaf, shrimp & grits, and pork shank rustico. Would order all again! Love the vibes of this place and will continue to come back! read more

Quite average. I tried a burger and fries, both greasy as hell. Snobby receptionist. Nice atmosphere, good service. If you come here, don't get the burger. Update, got home and got sick. Wow, so disgusting. I knew the pricing before I went there, but it's a pricey burger that isn't worth it. I won't be returning. read more

Absolutely loved! We came with good friends of ours who visit the other location often but wanted to try this one. The vibe is wonderfully family focused but does change as it get later. We had an amazing server, Zach (pretty sure, lots of drinks) and he was a delight! We had the most fun laughing with him and his recommendations were spot on for food - half of us had the Sole special and we bonded over Gin espresso martinis. Seriously ask for his section because you will not regret the great service and laughs. We can't wait to come back with friends and eventually will bring our two girls for a night out. Thank you for a wonderful evening! read more

We waited over 30 minutes for the Chef to provide our server with the butter requested with the steak. Unfortunately, the steak was cold by the time we received it. We were still missing a side dish after we had finished the meal. read more

Came here for a girls night on New Years Eve and you're greeted right away by the host stand when you walk in. We were taken to our table immediately and our server was amazing! Unfortunately I do not remember her name but she knew the menu and specials like it was on the back of her hand. She recommended a lot to us and the food came out quick. My favorite were the meatballs and Mac and cheese. My main dish was the pasta special of the night which was basically pot roast on noodles, wasn't a huge fan. My friends had the veal, angry lobster and a fish special of the night and had no complaints. Menu has a lot of options so I'd come back and try something new. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant. We were surprised to see that they are a sister restaurant to two of our favs National Anthem and Townhearth. Walked in without a reservation and got lucky with a seating right away. The place was packed. Our server Pete was awesome. The food and atmosphere were both . Family friendly. We will for sure visit again. read more

Pros: 1. Food is generally good (but not everything). The best dish was a tie between the fried asparagus and the rock shrimp appetizer. 2. The brussels sprouts were good. The pizzas and the pork chop were decent. 3. The soda water is particularly bubbly and carbonated here. Cons: 1. My colleague is a regular (and diehard fan) at the original NS location and insists that the food at this second location is different than the original recipe and not as good, and that the service is not as good. 2. The veggie enchilada was disappointing. You would think there are more roasted veggies inside the tortilla but it's just a huge heap of shredded lettuce/cabbage on top. Probably the worst thing we ordered. 3. We asked if we could get the large shrimp (which was supposed to be a great appetizer at the original location but missing from the menu here). We were told that we would be charged the full price of the pasta and shrimp entree but just not get the pasta - it felt cold and "take it or leave it". I get if some requests don't work at various restaurants but there are better ways to go about this and get us excited about another dish. For me spending $1000 here for my group's dinner, it felt like the service wasn't the best to encourage me to come back. 4. Very stingy on the guac for the chips and guac. read more

I have been a patron for almost 3 years. Probably at least 2x per week. Downhill, empty. Historically nice staff, now rude. I'm not trying to be an ass. Just truthful. Wish it wasn't the case. They are great people. I think just mad, b/c the clientele has collapsed, for whatever reason. Not their fault. read more

The ambiance was wonderful. This is a place you can meet friends and actually hear each other talk. Food was outstanding especially the halibut and the deviled eggs. If you want dessert.... Try the lemon tart. I did and all the sudden I felt special like I was in the middle of a Bridgerton episode! lol read more

Went out to eat for the weekend for a late dinner. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we knew all the available specials they had for us to chose. At times the restaurant did get a bit loud, which I didn't mind as everyone was having a grand time. read more

Food was great but we ordered a drink at the beginning of the meal. Appetizer and entree came. Two waitresses went to check. Finally we had to ask a manager. The drink didn't arrive until we were done with our entree. They did comp us the drink and give us a free dessert. Staff was very nice but it just seemed too busy and understaffed. read more

Recently opened in the former Paul Martins space NS has done a fantastic job at renovating the space and feels like its always been a NS. The menu follows the same structure and staple offerings as the other NS locations and the quality of the food is on par. Glad to see this location open in the neighborhood it is a welcome addition. read more

Reservations mean nothing to this restauran. I counted 20 people waiting and all had reservations for times well before the current time.

My girlfriend and I went to dine at Neighborhood Services, and to be completely honest, I was very impressed. My server was great, but the manager on duty is what sold me. I believe his name was Martin. He was running food, touching tables, and at the host stand. As someone who works in the service industry myself, I commend him. The food was fabulous. We ordered the crab dip, fried asparagus, shrimp dynamite, and Brussels sprouts. I wouldn't even be able to say which one was my favorite as they were all amazing. My parents will be in town soon, and I will definitely be coming back and bringing them here. Great service, great atmosphere, and great food. Can you get any better? read more

Recently visited my best friend and we came here as a 5 person group for dinner last minute. Inside the restaurant, there is dim lighting and a great warm ambience due to the style of the chairs, tables, the bar, etc. The service was great, our waitress was attentive and friendly. We ordered a dozen/thirteen raw oysters and they were great. For my entree, I ordered the scallops and they were amazing. Definitely some of the best scallops I've tasted. My boyfriend said his Cobb salad was tasty, my best friend said her veggie enchiladas were great, and my little brother said his aged wagyu was amazing. My little brother's girlfriend ordered one of the specials--veggie pasta--and said the pasta was undercooked but overall okay. I would take off stars if this was my dish, but I never tasted it and my overall experience with the food was amazing. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc to match my scallops and the New Zealand one is great--crisp and refreshing. We will definitely be returning. read more
