    Fries

    Honor Bar has a few hits, but it's definitely overhyped! My friend and I made a reservation for dinner on a Saturday. Service was very friendly, but food took forever to arrive. Our full meal took over two hours, which was too long for some sides and salads! Drink: The Crush - was super watered down and could barely taste the grape flavor. Disappointing. Apps: Burrata Toast and Chilled Jalapeños: The toast was tasty, but nothing special. Warning -- the jalapeños were very very spicy! Avoid if you're sensitive to spice! Main: Macho Salad with Fries - The salad was phenomenal! The description doesn't do it justice. The cornbread croutons put it over the top. The fries were also perfectly thin and I loved the spicy mayo. I'd come back just for these two items! I heard great things about their previous vegetarian options that they no longer serve. They should definitely add more veg options to their menu!

    I have always enjoyed my dining experiences at any of the Hillstone Restaurant Group establishments. The Honor Bar in Highland Park Village in Dallas is as exceptional compared to my previous superb Hillstone experiences in California. Over the last several years, I make it a point to have a meal here when I'm in the Dallas area. The interior is quaint, cozy, warm, and inviting as the front of the house staff. I typically have their Crab Cake Salad, which is amazing. Interactions with their wait staff have all been filled with cheer and warmth. They do get quite busy, so reservations would be helpful.

    CHILLED JUMBO SHRIMP
    Khoa N.

    With how much hype Honor Bar gets on social media and the long wait to get a table for lunch (30-45mins), I was expecting something amazing... it didn't live up to the hype. The best I tasted from the things we ordered was the Crab Cake Salad. The crab meat was really good. It's like they took crab legs, shredded it up, and served it to you. Lots of flavors. The next best item was the Chilled Jumbo Shrimp. These things are HUGE! If you're a fan of shrimp cocktails, you will like this. The other two items: Ahi Tuna Tartare and Burrata on Toast was average, if that. The Ahi Tuna dish did not impress me at all. I can go to a local poke place and get the same tuna chunks for half the price. Also, there's too much olive oil on the avocado. I simply did not like the Burrata dish... too much cheese, oil, and butter... just too much. All of the grease ends up getting stuck in your throat and it ruins the rest of the meal. I didn't run into any of the service issues that some of the other reviews stated. The worst that I experienced was they didn't refill my water until I asked for it.

    French 75s + cozy vibes at The Honor Bar
    Andira C.

    The Honor Bar in Dallas is such a gem ... dim, cozy lighting, great vibes, and the friendliest locals. It's the perfect little escape for happy hour or drinks with your bestie. My standout? The French 75 (it's my fave) crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. If you're looking for a cute, elevated spot to unwind, this place is definitely worth a stop. Can't wait to go back!

    Emerald Kale & Rotisserie Chicken
    Christian M.

    Let me start with this: I have eaten in restaurants across states, across coasts, across continents. I've reviewed everything from hole-in-the-wall gems to Michelin hopefuls. But nothing, and I mean nothing, has ever earned the level of consistent, soul-warming excellence that The Honor Bar in Highland Park Village delivers. This place doesn't miss. It doesn't know how. And the magic begins the second you step through the door. THE FRONT OF HOUSE DREAM TEAM: SUSAN & JANESSA Susan and Janessa are the unofficial mayors of Highland Park Village. These two could run a country. They're the reason the restaurant hums with that perfect balance of energy and ease. They greet you with warmth so genuine that you immediately forget every bad text you've ever received and suddenly remember that yes... life is good. They set the tone. They set the vibe. And that vibe is immaculate. I keep coming back because these two make Honor Bar feel like home. CHEF KAYLA: THE CULINARY COMMANDER Chef Kayla is easily one of the most impressive chefs in Dallas. Not just because the food is outstanding (more on that in a second), but because she leads from the front. This woman will literally hand-deliver dishes from the kitchen. Not for show. Not for praise. Because she cares. Because she's proud of what her team creates. Because hospitality is in her DNA. The attention to detail... the passion... the commitment... the artistry... Michelin, if you're listening: Dallas has your next rising star. THE SNOW GLOBE EFFECT Right now, Highland Park Village is dressed in full Christmas magic. Walking into The Honor Bar feels like stepping into a snow globe that's been curated by Santa's most fashionable cousin. Sparkling lights, festive charm, and cozy holiday energy everywhere. It's perfect. THE SERVICE ALL-STARS: VINCENT, QUAN, LEONA & LILY A standing ovation for this entire squad. Vincent is charisma personified. Warm, personable, uplifting. The man has an infectious smile and, by the way, is newly married, congratulations to him and his wife! Quan is hysterical in all the right ways. I've genuinely never seen someone light up an entire table with laughter so effortlessly. The comedic timing is elite. A world-class mood elevator. If serotonin could clock in and start a shift, it would look exactly like Quan walking up to your table. A true talent in the ancient art of making humans feel good. Leona is attentive, warm, sweet, and one of the most genuinely kind humans you'll meet in hospitality. She radiates positivity and poise. The kind of presence that instantly softens your shoulders and makes you feel taken care of. Her energy is gentle but powerful, and her attention to detail is the grace hospitality dreams of. Lily waited on us last weekend when we brought two new Highland Park neighbors who had just relocated from San Francisco. These are sophisticated people, well-traveled, used to exceptional service. Lily blew them away. She blew all of us away. Glasses full at all times. Drinks anticipated before we even had the chance to crave them. Poised, kind, effortless. It's rare to witness someone so dialed in and so naturally gifted at hospitality. We genuinely spent half the night talking about how phenomenal she is at her job. THE FOOD. MY GOODNESS, THE FOOD. Our go-to lineup, the Mount Rushmore of Honor Bar greatness: - Emerald Kale Salad with Rotisserie Chicken: healthy, flavorful, addicting - Ding's Crispy Chicken Sandwich: crispy, juicy, elite - French Fries with Spicy Mayo: I would petition the United Nations to protect this combo - Rotisserie Chicken Plate: comfort food at its finest - Crab Cake Salad: somehow luxurious and refreshing at the same time Honorable mentions aka the "don't even think, just order it" items: - Guacamole: easily top 3 in Dallas - Deviled Eggs: the sleeper hit that turns everyone into a believer The drinks? Refreshing, balanced, delicious. The kind you order twice by accident on purpose. THE VERDICT Honor Bar is a masterclass in hospitality. A place where excellence isn't random... it's routine. Where the service is as memorable as the food. Where leadership clearly hires rockstars and creates an environment where they can shine. Hillstone, if you're listening... these employees deserve to be recognized. What this team does, night after night, is nothing short of flawless execution. If you want warmth, comfort, consistency, laughter, joy, great food, perfect drinks, and staff who genuinely make your day better... Honor Bar is the Highland Park Village essential. This isn't just a restaurant. It's a ritual. And I cannot recommend it highly enough. 11/10!

    Pot de Créme (dessert)
    Walker C.

    This week I had the pleasure of visiting Honor Bar for the first time. This was also my first experience at a restaurant in the Hillstone group, which I was especially excited about since I've only ever heard great things. Honor Bar is located in Highland Park Village, which makes for a convenient and upscale dining experience. Complimentary valet is available -- a big perk given how crowded the parking lot usually gets. The area is surrounded by high-end shops, perfect for browsing or window shopping before or after your meal. To drink, I ordered the Jack Rabbit. Tequila is always my go-to spirit, and this cocktail came recommended by our server. The combination of tequila, Campari, and mint was refreshing and well-balanced -- a great drink to sip on while enjoying dinner. For my entrée, I went with Ding's Crispy Chicken Sandwich. I don't usually order sandwiches at restaurants, but this one has a reputation online. Served cut into thirds, it's generously stacked with crispy chicken, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, and a slaw. The slaw, paired with what seemed like a honey mustard sauce, added just the right flavor contrast. The menu describes the slaw as spicy, though I didn't find it spicy at all. The chicken itself was fried to perfection -- golden, crunchy, and juicy on the inside. It's easy for a sandwich to be good, but rarely do I get my socks knocked off by one. The Dang's Crispy Chicken landed right in the middle; it didn't blow me away but I would happily order it again! To finish, we shared the Pot de Crème topped with homemade whipped cream and a coffee crumble. It was the perfect ending: rich and indulgent, but portioned just right -- satisfying without being over the top (a rarity for Texas desserts!). Overall, Honor Bar delivered on the high expectations I had. From the service to the food and atmosphere, everything came together for a memorable first visit.

    Lamb sandwich
    Gabriella G.

    Overall, the vibe is great, and the drinks are delicious. I thought the service was very good as well. Definitely could use some more AC. The food was decent, however, I think the lamb sandwich needed some type of Greek sauce to go with it. All in all a good experience and would go back.

    Lovely busy happy hour in an amazing spot in Dallas, the cocktails were great, good service and the type of ambience where you meet cool people and good vibes. Would deff come back here

    Deviled eggs
    Lisa K.

    I've always loved Hillstone restaurants so was super excited to try The Honor Bar. Note that parking is very tight and congested in Highland Park Village so give yourself plenty of time to park and then head over. My friend was raving over The Crush which has smashed grapes inside the cocktail and it definitely did not disappoint. We started with the Deviled Eggs which clearly is a favorite at this restaurant since we saw pretty much every table around us ordering them, and yes they were very good. I was debating on what to get as my entree and ultimately ended up with the Ahi Tuna Poke which was not only presented beautifully but was made to perfection. Our server was very attentive and our water glasses were always full as well. The inside of the restaurant is not super big but they also have a bar area and patio seating. I would say this place is not great for big parties as it looked like every booth and table was set up for no more than 4 people.

    Emerald Kale & Rotisserie Chicken
    Johanna J.

    I stopped by for lunch after shopping as this spot was recommended by Stacy from Valentino. I opted for the chicken kale salad, which didn't disappoint, and paired it with a nice glass of white wine. I did leave room for dessert. The server was attentive and polite. Overall solid experience - worth the visit.

    45-50 mins, great shopping options to keep you occupied while you wait..... 15-20 mins on a Saturday afternoon

We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

I love seeing how different clubs in different cities set themselves up. Plus, any excuse to meet new people and play with them is a good reason. My wife had some business things to handle via zoom in the hotel room so I went over to this club myself. I had just visited the one in New Orleans a few days earlier and was excited to check this one out. Of course, there is always the waivers, fees and check in stuff when new at any club. As a single female for the night, they definitely streamlined the process. Single, attractive women that swing are treated like royalty at swing clubs. This club was no different. Once was inside, having forgotten to bring anything to drink, as this club was byob, I found myself alcohol deficient. I had to barter for drinks and had fun making trades. If you get my meaning. I found this club fun, clean and had plenty of attractive, fun and play minded men and women. The staff were all pleasant and I saw nobody pushing nor violating the rules. There was a good mix of ages from mid twenties to people in their sixties. Nobody pressured me nor made me feel uncomfortable in any way. I found four like minded women and really enjoyed their company. I only stayed for about three hours but I really enjoyed it. If I lived in the Dallas area, I'd certainly be a member and spend my Saturday nights there. If swinging is your thing or you just like to watch and enjoy the vibe, this club is for you.
