We were visiting Dallas and figured Troy's since it is Troy Airman's place would be good. Completely wrong. It took 20 minutes to seat us with clearly open tables available. Our drinks were pitiful and the bartenders need some training. Then our meals they got 1 out of 4 correct. None of them were cooked correctly and all meals were cold. The fries were like eating cardboard. If I were Troy Aikman I would get my name off this restaurant as quickly as possible as it hurts his brand. read more

I've been here a few times and really have tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. I have finally come to the conclusion that this place just sucks. From the food to the service, I'm just not impressed. I stopped in yesterday afternoon and sat out on the patio. Apparently there is a serious lack of communication or people just want to get paid but not perform there job as my group was bounced between the bar and the patio server to order drinks and food. We gave up on trying to order food and went somewhere else. read more

Food is horrid, the wings especially! Waitress took forever to get my drink and it wasn't even busy, definitely would not recommend.

Stopped by before a baseball game for lunch with friends. The service was fantastic. And the wings were amazing. I hesitated ordering them because I didn't think they would be that great but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the plain and the flavoring was fantastic. Definitely going to order again. read more

I wish i could of TRIED the food. Their bar was open but i just went to Lockhart's so i could actually EAT and get a beer. Seriously Troy's ?? ( Went there on 8/29/2022) at 11:30 am. with a Cowboys game starting at noon and a Rangers game starting at 1:30. YOU ARE NOT SERVING FOOD??????? and then look at me like i am crazy when i do ask if you are serving food? "um no sir Our bar is open though" Great, there are 10 other bars opened in Texas Live. I am just blown away on game day that this place would not serve food. read more

Literally, the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant in my life. Management should be embarrassed by the lack of organization and preparedness that should be a basic concept for a restaurant of that size. Took over 30 minutes to get drinks, never received water in 2 hours, had to ask 6 times for silverware, took 45+ minutes for food. Understaffed. Unprepared. I don't even blame our wait staff. They were put in a losing situation. The sad part is the atmosphere is really great and the food was pretty good once we received it. However, it was overshadowed by the three ring circus running the restaurant. Troy should be ashamed to put his name on this place. read more

It was my first time eating brunch at Troy's . It's a nice place looking restaurant. Everybody was very happy and friendly . The manger also was making sure everything was good. I had the chicken & bliss it's presentation was beautiful. The chicken is crispy, sweet and spicy tasted yummy. The thing I did not like was the waffle it tasted like it was old and rubber texture. It was not freshly made . I dId not say anything because everybody was so nice. I just hope they keep an eye on the waffle maker . The Texas skillet was very good the combination of things in it went very well read more

We asked for three different types of beer and they didn't have any of them. I was speechless. They're getting two stars because I do like the atmosphere and the outdoor patio. read more

This review isn't going to be about the food because we never made it to the food. We went in after visiting the Christmas Market. There were 6 of us total 4 adults and two kids. The hostess asked us if a high top table would be okay because there were no short tables available. The place was almost empty?! They were obviously to lazy to push two tables together. They also had plenty of open booths which we were seated at. (Why that wasn't an option upfront I cannot say). We sat there for about 5-7 min and not one person acknowledged us. So we left. I understand things like that when your busy but not when your almost empty. read more

Horrible.....arrived for lunch with a large party of 10. Everyone's food came out with the exception of mine. My incorrect order was finally plopped in front of me with not even so much as an apology. Even though I had to wait so long for my order the fries were cold. Almost everyone at the table was finished eating. The turkey burger was mediocre to say the least, total lack of flavor. Will never go back or recommend. Terrible service and experience ruined my lunch hour. read more

The Food was great! But Troy, keep the windows clean. Gives a negative vibe. Great band! Bradley Banning. Keep the windows clean! Great place though. read more

The service here is terrible. Took 45 minutes to get our food and half of the orders were either missing an item or completely incorrect. I had such high hopes for this restaurant but this is the second time I have been left disappointed. The slow service and lack of attention to detail are inexcusable, especially during lunch hour. Will not be recommending or returning. read more

Not gonna lie probably the most dysfunctional restaurant from an operational standpoint I've seen, I actually only yelp to give positive 5 star reviews but this was rough. We waited about 15 minutes for beers with barely anyone at the restaurant, waiters and waitresses were running food and drinks to the wrong tables. Once we received the food it was just awful, my gf got the fish sandwich and it was cold and there was no taste. Once you bit in the sandwich water just went all over the plate. It's been 20 minutes since we got our food and we are still waiting for silverware and napkins. Me and my gf were both past servers so we usually take it easy on reviewing places because we know how it is but this was just straight up bad lol. read more

I'm writing this review solely based on the bee sting wings. THEY ARE THE BOMB!!! I've never had a more robustly flavorful wing in my life. The wings themselves have a generous amount of meat on them, so much so I had 5 and was stuffed. The atmosphere was very laidback. They had a live band playing in between the restaurant and the outdoor patio. We came Friday night and it wasn't very busy, which I think is due to Texas Live still being fairly new. All in all, a great experience with good waitstaff and food. read more

I love me some Troy Aikman, but I should've listened to Yelp. We came in at about 8:30PM on a Saturday night, but it wasn't busy since the Ranger's game hadn't let out yet. Our waitress took our order quickly (you'll probably need to order a burger since there's not much else), and returned with 2 decent blackberry ginger margaritas. Once we got our burgers, there were no napkins or silverware. Our waitress explained they were out of napkins. My husband ordered a 2nd blackberry ginger margarita, and he got something completely different (and nasty)! He politely told the waitress he thought he received the wrong drink, but she said, "Oh the first one had Sprite. Do you want something different?" He said he just wants the same one we ordered the first round, but she came back with the SAME wrong cocktail but this time in a different glass with more ice. She said, "I'm sorry you didn't like it" but never acknowledged it was a completely different drink! Burgers we mediocre. The icing on the cake was that we never got a refill on our waters, and we had to wait about 20 more minutes after our meal to find the waitress to ask her for the check. We won't be returning; even if it's after a game! read more

Ehh...no big! Really wanted to love this place because Troy Aikman is my favorite Cowboy. Nice bar atmosphere but the music was so loud it was impossible to have any conversation without yelling. Service was super slow. We waited at least 20 mins maybe more just to get our drinks. Our waitress was apologetic and we could tell she was overwhelmed. We had to ask for our appetizer twice. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower which was good. We also had some buffalo wings which were meaty but came out somewhat cold. We didn't bother to mention it because we were so hungry and didn't want to wait again.The menu was very limited and only offered the usual burgers, appetizers, a couple of salads and some sides. Overall I was disappointed! read more

I had the pimento cheese hamburger and it was excellent! The servers were all very quick, friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning for some live music read more

Quite possibly some of the best wings I have ever had in my life. But at the same time honestly one of the worst manhattans I've had. Don't come to Texas for Whsikey drinks for cocktails, period. Service was exceptional. Band was very Bradley Banning was great with a mix of covers and original tunes. Unique atmosphere bc it's close to other bars and the stadium. As a visitor it's the only place tht is really near by the stadium to hang out and have some drinks. It's in Texas Live! Enjoy. read more

My food was cold, sent back and over 15 minutes later got it back burned. Two burgers from our table were also burned. Our waitress was also terrible. Hardly checked in and when I sent my food back she never came back to check in with me. Problems with front and back of house! Manager did make it right, but the wait staff and cooks need to be replaced! read more

The food was horrible. Seriously. We had burgers. Mine was a lamb burger. Friend got the Texas heat burger. Lamb burger was dry and insanely over seasoned. I couldn't finish it due to how awful it was. They got my order wrong twice. Friends burger had no heat to it. Neither one of us had more than three bites. We expressed our feelings politely about the food and all that was given was "I'm sorry." In the case where we couldn't eat it, something should have been comped. The bartender did make a good vodka martini which is the only reason I'm giving this two stars. Oh! Expect to pay ballpark prices for drinks. I would never eat here again unless they revamped their entire kitchen staff. Attached photos are of my burger. Insanely thin and dry. The other picture is if their artichoke dip. Runny and bland. A large slice of cheese if the big glob in the pic. Defiantly not something you want to experience. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would! Don't waste your time. There is not one positive thing I can say about this place. The service was horrible! We got our food before we even got water or drinks. We were there 2 1/2 hours just waiting on service and food. The manager there tonight was busier talking to the hostess instead of helping his waitresses out! It was beyond pathetic and to make matters worse the food was horrible! Nothing special! Everyone there was doing their own thing. You can clearly see there is no sense of urgency to help their customers out. Even our cocktails were watered down because they were sitting at the bar for a long time. Not a place I will ever visit again!!! Waste of time and money! Your better off at chick fil a read more

Vibrant atmosphere, excellent burgers and sides. Friendly wait staff was very attentive and obviously worked hard to make our visit the best. Bands and music were electric. Be sure to bring your friends and family. You won't be disappointed! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. The food was not memorable to warrant any, and the staff was obnoxious enough that I won't return. One of their hostesses seated my family and me on a busy evening, without menus. It's possible that she skipped others the waiting list, and the appearance of no menus led to two other waitresses suggesting that we had seated ourselves and asking us to leave. We didn't but should have. We had come to watch a friend's band play, which Troy's also canceled at the last minute. Gross! read more

Have visited about 4 times, food was always good. There is live band on Saturday nights The burgers are delicious!!

Great place, love the atmosphere. I had a pimento burger, very good. Beer was cold, good service. The pretzel bites were a great appetizer. The outdoor space looked really nice. Would definitely use it when the weather is cooler. read more

The servers are laid back. Awesome, except too laid back. In 15 minutes, I visited 2 bars before settling on the one on the patio. The water had a very bad taste. I live 2 miles north. My water tastes great! Something was off. Yes! I notified the bartender. I ordered the Korean BBQ burger. The bun was cold. Not enough kimchi and very little spice to it at all. Basically cole slaw. I ordered medium rare so the beef was still tasty. French fries are basically french fries. Sea salt saves the day of course. The aesthetics is really what wins. As an Arlingtonite, I will save my visits here to come with a group. Otherwise, I will stick with the Grease Burger or Tipsy Oak! Way better food, prices, and service. read more

Michelada was perfect to my liking and so was the service! If you're lucky, Troy just might walk in like he did on my visit! Skip the pretzels as an appetizer, the condiments that came with it were not appetizing at all. Overall great ambience! read more

Good food, good service and a great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back. And see what else Troy's has to offer. My only complaint it that it is a little louder than I would like but the music is great. read more

After viewing menu & pics on line my party & I thought we were n for a treat. Battled the traffic & hectic parking of the "Texas Live" area for what we believed would B an excellent experience. Well, if u can't already tell, all hopes were dashed. 1st this is not a real restaurant but a bar, which offers food. The place was clean & surrounded by Texas Live excitement. But, the menu online & the menu n house R 2 total different dimensions. The menus had exactly 11 items; that included the appetizers & sides. Thus, the entree section had only 4 choices...N none of what is displayed online. However, if u R looking to have a few drinks the menu is loaded, but the execution of said beverages is poor to say the less. NO BAR TENDER ON SITE, the wait staff tries to but together ur order, n the outcome is horrific to say the most!!! I wouldn't recommend Troy's; but Texas Live is all the way Live!! read more

Had an amazing time at TROY 's and the entertainment was top notch. Didn't eat anything that evening, but the cocktails were delicious and service was great! Can't wait to get back. The guy who's name is on the building was a gentleman as always, and it was nice to see him and say hello. read more

Ok....I am not here to bash this place and there were some positive things I liked. Unfortunately there just a few more negatives that will probably cause me to not go back. Went for a few hours before this last Sunday night Cowboy's game and you almost must have a reservation, which we did, if you want to be seated quickly. Things did not start out well as soon as we were seated you could tell it was going to stay quite warm in there. We were seated by the doors to the outside, which they stated were required to stay open. Felt the A/C come on a few times but never long enough to make it comfortable. The doors being open also allowed for a lot of bugs to come in, which unfortunately was the case. The food was great however the selections were not quite up to what I expected. Too many odd type dishes for my liking but that is to each ones choice. Would strongly recommend some type of "Game Day" menu to include more traditional foods fans generally like on game day. The server was great and she tried to accommodate us the best she could under the circumstances. Food and beverages were a little pricey, not too mention the 1% adder on the bill. There were 4 of us and we were there for about 3 hours. Food, alcohol, taxes and fee's were about $420...with tip, the entire bill was right at $500. My only other comment is with regards to the number and placement of TV's. There were not near enough of them and they were not positioned to where everyone could see multiple ones while seated in the booth we were in. If they are going to cater to patrons going to football games, they really need to correct this issue. I am an avid Cowboys and Troy A. fan and I hate to have to post this but I am a firm believer in being open and honest. I can only hope that reviews like this will help management in making some changes. read more

Overall not bad, they are still going through growing pains. I see most reviews knocking the place for price and service. I thought the food was good, the price was to be expected for the type of establishment, and the service was friendly, but understaffed. All these things are ok. I think it will get better and deserves our support. I hope that in the future I will be able to change my rating to 5 stars(which I believe will happen with time). read more

The service was horrible. Took over 40 minutes to receive our food and when it came my burger was way overcooked. The menu leaves much to be desired. Prefer the kids menu over the adult menu. Will not be back. Came prior to the renegades game on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Great burger, had the #8 twice. I'd give it 5 stars but both times I've ordered it I've ordered medium rare and it comes out well done... not even close read more

Terrible service. We sat down and weren't helped after 15 minutes. We asked another server if we could order and were told that there's nobody working the section and we're recommended to try another bar. read more

Was excited to find out troys had some vegetarian options. The buffalo cauliflower wings were great but the vegetarian burger was horrible. I usually can tolerate most foods but I couldn't even eat this at all. The service was very slow also and from what my companions say even the desert wasn't good. Sorry but don't be going back again read more

Kudos for including vegetarian items on the menu! The cauliflower wings were awesome!! The veggie burger, however, was one of the worst I have ever tasted. It primarily tasted like beets with no seasoning. Overall I felt the food was too expensive for the portion size. Sorry Troy, I love you, but I did not love your restaurant. read more

Tried Troy's again on April 29th. I explained my disappointment with my burger the last time. This one was perfect. We will return.

The service at Troy's at Texas Live was horrible. We came on a Tues. The restaurant was pretty busy, but the service was so slow. It took 15 minutes to get the drinks we ordered. I ordered a grilled cheese with guacamole, bacon and ricotta. It was terrible, the cheese was not melted. It wasn't even hot. After we were served it took another 5 minutes to get napkins and silverware. I will not come back. read more

Sorry Troy's. My husband finally got to come here after wanting to come since the opening. Place was more than half empty. We were sat at a dirty booth. Waited almost 20 minutes with no service. We were told as we were leaving someone would come. But they didn't seem genuine at all. No apologies offered. We left. read more
