The Nodding Donkey Reviews
I work at the Notre Dame school down the road. Our adults love volunteering, and working setting up the restaurant.
We came for our end of the year lunch. The instructors were overwhelmed by the generosity.
Your kindness and compassion touched our hearts. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve given to our community and students.
Your place for a job site is number one in my book.
Thank you so much!
Stefanie Brown (instructor at NDS)

The Nodding Donkey is a lively restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, known for its elevated pub food and happy hour. Popular menu items include the sliced BBQ sandwich, "Donkey Balls," and the brisket sandwich, which has received positive feedback. The staff is praised for their friendly service, with Gabe being noted as one of the best bartenders in Dallas. The bar area is particularly popular, offering a view of the historic State Thomas neighborhood, making it a great spot for game days. While some guests have enjoyed the smoked wings and sweet potato fries, others have mentioned challenges with parking and seating, especially during busy times. Overall, The Nodding Donkey remains a great sports bar with tons of TVs and a good atmosphere, making it a favorite for those looking to enjoy a game. Occasional new menu items could be considered for future visits.
