Elm Street Cask & Kitchen

The Crawfish Benedict was delicious! Call Me the Breeze cocktail also did not disappoint, a gin & tonic on steroids. The chicken and waffles were good too, spicy wings along with sweet and tasty waffles and maple syrup. Andres provided friendly service, we'd definitely visit again

Steps away from the sights and sounds of downtown Dallas, exist a spot you might want to check out; that is if you’re looking to enjoy a friendly restaurant with inviting charm where you can people watch, while sipping on wine, beer or an assortment of Whiskeys and Bourbons that rival many bars in town, and you don’t have to break the bank, unless you want to. Elm Street Cask and Kitchen’s assortment of seating, accommodates groups of all sizes; from the airy bar, to booth and patio seating, and a semi-private loft area, for those who desire something a bit more intimate, or even enjoy a tasting or two. Your dining experience can range from a hearty Brunch, to Happy Hour specials, or premium cuts of meat. If you find yourself in the downtown area, and want to experience something a little different, give Elm Street Cask and Kitchen a try. Parking can be a bit tricky, but they’re located in the Hilton Garden Inn, so use their address and you’ll arrive with no problem. XOXO LORENZO!

Visiting from Mississippi, if I could bring this place back home I would. Everyone is welcoming and funny. The Vibes/Food/Drinks were Immaculate. Octavius! Best Bartender in Town!!!!!!

Great vibes, decor, service and drinks. The food was delicious!!! Absolutely recommended!!

Stopped by mid week, just missed morning brunch which is amazing but had a great lunch pictured, shrimp tacos, Texas version of Irish coffee, fish sandwich w fries and burger w onion rings. Nice outdoor space and a great spacious inside. Great old fashioned

On our way out to the Museum we decided to stop by this place and have brunch before walking around for a few hrs and decided to sit by on the patio. The building itself is very nice and looks like it has great atmosphere during busy hours of the day. We were the only other table that day and our service was slacking at best. The homeless man on the street screamed some racial slurs and our server and another older man started screaming back at them right next to my table which was not very professional but our server apologized and the older man left. Thankfully nothing major happened. The food itself was fairly good although the drinks were much better. The old Fashioned was very good and my chicken sandwich was pretty tasty.

Great everything: Bar, food, location (in the heart of downtown), prices and decor. A friend and I went for lunch and it was a great time. There is ample seating inside as well as a cute patio. We ordered sandwiches. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and a side of fries. Everything was delicious and my friend enjoyed his meal as well. The staff was friendly and the vibe was very relaxed. I’ll definitely be revisiting! ***The only complaint is parking (and there is no bathroom inside for patrons). Parking is almost non-existent but that’s to be expected in the downtown area.

I’ve stayed at the attached hotel 15+ times over the last year. This restaurant is what keeps me coming back to stay. The food and drinks are amazing, and the service is even better. Andres has been one of the anchors to my Dallas travel, he’s always there behind the bar offering amazing service and asking how your day was. Five star service.

(January 2020) Not quite sure how my best friend and I decided on this spot, but it was delightful. Different days and times have their own menus. We came during the week for lunch. At 1 p.m. on a Wednesday, the place was very quiet, despite downtown being a little busy. The decor is rustic chic, and it feels like a speakeasy. I appreciated the cozy chairs. Making a decision on what to eat was fairly easy, as you only had a handful of choices. The main options were soups, salads, and sandwiches. I ordered the Wagyu Sliders. They were delightful. Slightly disappointed in the fries. But the sweet tea helped make amends. We didn't see our server too often, but he was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. Overall, I would check out Cask & Kitchen again on a future visit.

Ambiance was a little off, the layout of the restaurant/dining area is somewhat confusing as there's a giant bar that takes up most of the space, and this space was once for private events and has since been turned into a restaurant. Service was okay, but the restaurant was also pretty dead, I don't believe there were more than 4 tables sat and 3 people at the bar while we were there. We got the wings as an appetizer, which were really good, but there's no indication of spice level for the BBQ sauce, so my friend wasn't able to enjoy them, would be nice to have a warning or heads up so the spice adverse can ask for it in the side or abstain completely. For my entree I ordered the pork chop; the bed of mashed potatoes, kale and bacon were honestly phenomenal, all though I thought the kale would be it's on side and not mixed in with the potatoes. The chop is self was just okay, not super flavorful, but still good enough to enjoy. I wasn't blown away by this visit, but it was a good plan B for the night.

If you're in downtown Dallas and want some breakfast Elm Street Cask & Kitchen is a good choice. They also have lunch and dinner too, but I just had breakfast. The decor is cool and the restaurant is clean. The wait staff were all nice and breakfast was great. Check them out!

Eat: HOT FRIED CHICKEN & WAFFLE Reaction: Chicken was more yummy than expected, loved it.

If I could give this establishment, half a star, I would. The half star would be for the fabulous old fashion. Two friends of mine and I came in on a Thursday night around 9:45pm. The bar wasn't busy and there was one male bartender. We were not greeted and asked if they were still open. The bartender said they were open but the kitchen was closed. We took some seats at the table and the bartender came over and asked us what we wanted. We ordered and he asked to see our ID. I made a joke about looking over 21 and he said "I checked all IDs". He then brought our drinks over a few moments later and ignored us the rest of the experience. Two other women came over and sat at the bar and he warmly spoke to them. He also did NOT check their ID when they ordered their beer!! I finished my drink and rushed my friends so we could leave. The whole reason we can was to experience some good bourbon and we weren't even offered the bourbon menu! We asked for our check and he said "don't worry about it." I'm assuming that he overheard us about our displeasure. As someone who loves to support local businesses, I'm so perplexed as to why my party was treated this way. Anyhoo, I will never be back!

We had a group of 10 people - 5 adults and 5 kids. We went on a very slow Thursday night. We waited almost an hour for our food - which considering the 5 kids got chicken tenders/fries and 1 adult got a burger that's a long time. When our food did arrive, it was cold, barely room temperature - meals we spent $20-30 on. Our waiter had to call "someone" to find out what to do so obviously there was no manager on site. They remade some of it - but it was still not very hot. At this point we gave up on trying to get an edible meal. And don't get me started on the man who delivered our food and I watched him pick up fries off the tray and put them on our plates - with his bare hands! I will never go back or recommend this place.

We visited two nights in a row. Andres the bartender served us both nights. He was amazing. As we sat down the second evening he greeted us with our four drinks from the previous evening. That's a good bartender!

Terrible Service, Decent Food. Upon entry myself and my party were not greeted for 7min, upon seating each interaction with staff took up to 15 minutes. We watched as staff stood around on their phone and failed to tend to the table. Though the food may be tasty, the service greatly distracted us from the enjoyment of the meal.

I sat down for brunch with my family. The waiter took our order and after a while, I checked with the bartender to see if she received our drink order. She said she did not but would check with the waiter and get it taken care of. They brought the wrong drinks. No worries. I then overheard her yelling about how stupid we were and how it was our mistake and not hers. Got up and left. Terrible management to allow such a bartender to work there.

Service here is very slow. We orders our drinks and food at the same time and it took 1 hour and 13 minutes. So if you are okay to wait the ambiance is calm and clean. We came on a Saturday morning at 10:30 and it was not busy at all Food: got the hippie omelette this was okay not too many veggies. 2 dad breakfast: this was filling Crab cake Benedict: this was good Peach French toast: sweet and okay All food needed hot sauce for us

Anna and Andreas were our servers and they were wonderful!! The food was tasty, it's a cute place, but the service made the experience whole. Here on a work trip, so tired and spent by dinner time... Thank you so much for providing a smile to finish a long day :)

Our group of four enjoyed brunch outside. Service was good; food was enjoyed by all including our vegan guest. Several in our group enjoyed the mimosa flight too.

I truly don't enjoy giving negative reviews but I'd like to honestly share the unfavorable group dining experience. Our party of 20 made a reservation in advance on a Tuesday evening. It would seem that the establishment was unprepared for our numbers despite knowing our arrival and the less than full capacity when we showed up. The entire ordeal was over two and half slow hours. We had one waitress to start who clearly could not keep up with our drink orders and taking our appetizer and entree orders. We rarely saw her return to our table. Bar drinks were slow to come out "sorry, the bartender is busy right now" and was busy most of the night. You might think that a restaurant would turn more alcoholic drinks in an attempt to offset slow kitchen output. Not this night. When they did appear, the drinks were weak. Unfortunately, we even ran out of water at all of our tables. The appetizers eventually were delivered. Only the Brussel sprouts had the greatest flavor. The meatloaf muffins were a clever presentation but with mediocre flavor and a bit dry. Our 20 dishes were served in the two hour mark and spread with such distance between food runners that we had to start eating since the plates were already cold with food drying out. There was clearly no lead employee monitoring this unfolding situation and attempting to make adjustments. The waitstaff did try to help our lone server a few times with food running and drink orders (which were still bottlenecked at the bar.) If you're still reading this, you understand how lengthy the service was much like this review. I even had hopes that maybe the manager's resolution to our disappointment would be a customer service highlight but, no, the supervisor deflected our rationale and made little concessions as an offering to our unfavorable night. I do feel bad for the individuals working this night who I'm sure had good intent and effort but were not collectively set up for success.

Management refused to honor valet validation as stated on profile. Food and waiter was great!

I'm giving this cute little restaurant a 4 because the food was amazing, hot, and fresh! The service was a little slow but it seemed like they were short staffed. My egg white omelet was very good and full of veggies. My husband had the Texas taters and OH EM GEEEE these were amazing!! The perfect amount of sauce, crunch, and flavor!! My tequila sunrise was also very delicious.

Food: The biscuits and gravy should be avoided as well as the pancakes, which were incredibly dense and hard to swallow. The eggs and bacon were fine. Service: The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Ambiance: It is a nice place. There was plenty of room. Cleanliness: My table was clean, and the dining room was clean as well. Price: Although the food wasn't great, the price was competitive with other breakfast places in the area. Overall: I wouldn't eat breakfast there again, but I might try dinner.

Joseph the bartender was very chill and nice. Really enjoyed grabbing some drinks from him. The restaurant is also very cozy and even though I didn't get any food I would definitely go back to try the happy hour one day. The options looked amazing.

Came on thanksgiving and it was awful. Half of the plate was never given to us. The Mac and cheese tasted like velveeta cheese. Still paid full price. Appetizer came out with meals. Drinks were terrible and slow and came out with the meal as well. Forced myself to eat half the meal. I won't be back.

Was really interested in visiting this restaurant. It's my birthday weekend and I wanted something different. They advertise valet parking on their website but it is not exclusive to the restaurant. I called the restaurant and they advised me to use Valet parking for the hotel on Pacific Ave. After driving around for 15 minutes, trying to get to the hotel, I gave up. Very disappointing.

The service was phenomenal. Very attentive. Their loaded potatoes were super good. I would go back just to try them.

I have frequented C&K a few times as I live close by. Last two visits a may be my last. I ordered wings & fries and was shocked when I got the bill ...$8 for a side of fries! When I inquired about the price I was told "but you get a ton of them and yeah they are sprinkled with gold" (pic of my gold fries below ). Last visit I got a vodka and sprite. When THIS bill came it was $14 / drink ...$12 for the vodka and $2 for the splash of sprite ! WHO charges for a mixer .?!?! Prob gonna go elsewhere next time.

I really want to give this restaurant a 4 star, because the food was amazing! However the service was awful. Not only did I have to flag down the staff on several things, I was never provided updates or indication on how long we would wait for food when short staffed. Staff would walk by frequently and notice us but never once check in to see how we were or if we needed anything. The food was great! I was happy with the meatloaf muffins we shared, although a bit crumbly. I had pulled beef and was quite happy with it. Good texture and flavor, and the fries were perfectly cooked. My partner had the crab stuffed shrimp which was very delicious in both sauce and texture.

Very disappointing. I was very excited about getting the chicken and waffles here after seeing photos, but was highly disappointed. I received waffles and chicken strip patties that came out of a frozen bag. It was clearly not fresh chicken and was frozen chicken strips you give kids. I ordered a latte and it was all milk. When I asked about replacing the latte I overheard the waiter and other employee say if they replaced the latte they would charge me again. I literally took a sip of the "latte". Very disappointed for a restaurant that is in the Hilton hotel

The food: We came here specifically to try the mac and cheese pancake and it was pretty good! It's kind of like mac and cheese baked into corn bread and smothered in gravy so if you like the way that sounds you'll probably enjoy this. The space: Very large open area to sit in and yet it still feels cozy. Overall: I think the service was average. They did keep bringing us almost completely empty hot sauce bottles though. Overall I enjoyed the pancake and would come back again.

Loved everything here!! Enjoyed brunch on a Sunday around 1100. It was pretty quiet and there were not many customers there so the staff was very attentive. I ordered the Mac n cheese pancake and taters, had to try it! And WOW the pancake isn't actually a pancake, it's like a cornbread cake with cheesy Mac noodles inside and covered with sausage gravy. It was absolutely delightful!! Surprisingly tasty! The taters were also perfection! Cheesy, bite size, and just a slight spice. We were all so full but kept going in for more bites of the taters. It's honestly hard to resist! And I love the fact that their made with breakfast potatoes and not tots or fries. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious and unique flavors of breakfast!

Our entire group had a very enjoyable experience! The appetizers and entrees were awesome - I had the Ribeye and it was cooked to perfection! Our server - Sade was very attentive and kept our drinks flowing and frequently checked in with us, without being obtrusive! I'd definitely recommend this place and will look to return the next time I'm in town!

Great spot in the Hilton Garden Inn in Downtown Dallas. They have over 100 whiskys and offer whisky flights. Their buffalo chicken sandwich was delicious! The coleslaw and pickle balanced out the vinegary buffalo sauce. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive.

Disappointed. I ordered the shrimp fritters appetizer and received rice balls. Not one piece of shrimp to be found. The menu description made it sound so good. False advertising! The service and ambience was just okay.

Cask & Kitchen was such a great brunch spot! The staff were amazing and they make some of the best drinks. I tried their biscuits and gravy along with their Mac n cheese pancake ( because if there's a Mac and cheese pancake, you've got to get it right? ). The biscuits and gravy were great! They give a healthy portion of 2 split biscuits covered in a thick sausage gravy. The Mac and cheese pancake was a showstopper, a corn cake topped with Mac and cheese and panko broiled to crispy perfection with some more of that divine sausage gravy on top. The mimosa flight is a STEAL with orange, mango, and strawberry options. The bourbon maple old fashioned (which comes topped with candied bacon and a cinnamon roll) was one of the best old fashioned's I've had!

Decent bar food and cocktails. Breakfast is hit or miss, especially with the restaurant not being open during the posted hours in the hotel lobby. Walk to other places, you'll get a better meal.

Visited Elm Street Cask & Kitchen (located inside the Hilton Garden Inn) and had a beautiful time. I enjoyed the Dad's breakfast which is your traditional breakfast. I opted for two boil eggs (no judgments lol) vs scrambled eggs and everything else as described on menu. Our waitress Anna was great and would definitely recommend her as a waitress to host us again.

Staying at the Hilton for a business trip. Came down for dinner and a drink. Kristin and Tyrell were working the bar and provided fabulous service, drink suggestions and dinner. Definitely recommend.

Great atmosphere,Fast service,Trendy,Good size food portions. I

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn so we frequently went here. We had breakfast one morning and it was overall pretty tasty. We also came for " happy hour" they advertise pretty heavily, and the prices are not discounted at all expect for $2 off beer and wine. Our main complaint would be the staff/service. Every time we came here we witnessed the staff talking badly about other coworkers and even using profanity in front of us and chatting with each other while trying to pay our bill. They were saying how "last night they left the bar looking disgusting and didn't clean anything." Which seemed true because the place was filthy. Seemed very unprofessional to mention that in front of us. The worst experience was going down to get a coffee this morning. The man working was super rude to me when correcting him on my order. I asked for a latte and he thought I meant just a straight up espresso shot. I walked over and just clarified what I wanted and he got an attitude and said "well if you order espresso, that's all you get" and made me feel super uncomfortable for trying to get the correct drink. For paying $8 for a coffee I don't think it's too much to ask to get what you want! With the prices of this place I expected better service and quality.

Beautiful restaurant with plenty of seating and a private area upstairs...however, there's a reason this place was pretty much empty, which isn't common for a place in Downtown Dallas on a Saturday night. The food just isn't that great :( Started with the "Southern Poutine"...this was decent. It was just loaded cheese fries, nothing too special. I was disappointed to learn that their menu is different than what's posted on Yelp :( I was looking forward to trying the bread pudding, but no such luck. Apparently they changed the whole menu. So I opted for trying a few of the sides: brussel sprouts, smoked Gouda grits, and Mac n cheese. Literally liked none of them. The brussel sprouts were greasy and bland, the Mac and cheese was dry, and we won't even talk about the grits...they even LOOKED a hot mess (check the pic). Everything was lacking flavor. Very disappointed. The cocktails were good though - had the Jungle Bird & The Oaxacan. Didn't bother for dessert and I wouldn't come back here. 3 stars is bc of the ambiance, good drinks and the good customer service.

Chicken wrap (lunch menu), potatoes (brunch menu), chicken sausage (brunch menu) and homemade potato chips (lunch menu) are fantastic! Restaurant is only open for lunch Monday through Friday. They are open for breakfast and dinner daily. Restaurant is open for brunch on the weekends

Excellent service by Sade!!! Food was fabulous! Everyone enjoyed their meals! Next time I'm in town I will be sure to stop by again!

Food here was very bland, mediocre. I guess they aren't prepared for half the place to be full but the food took forever. Workers were trying their best but didn't mention that their POS system wasn't working until after we already ordered. We didn't have any cash on us so we really didn't know what to do since they couldn't take Venmo or zelle. Ended up sending money to another customer and used that cash to pay for the food. One good thing would be that the bartender offered to comp our meal but we didnt feel right about it because they seemed very busy.

I come in once a week for the veggie omelet and JP will have everything ready. He has the best customer service and super sweet.

We had a reservation for 14 and they put a different group in our seats that had no reservation. When we arrived on time they did not have any ability to correct it and just were very unhelpful to accommodate the group. Just terrible service, not good for larger groups.

Excellent breakfast spot in Dallas, TX inside LTV Tower. Super delicious eggs and BBQ. And fresh squeezed juices are a great addition. Pomegranate juice is excellent.

So we went to brunch yesterday and enjoyed a wonderful day. We started there at 1:30 because I unfortunately did not read the hours. Brunch was over at 2 so as with everything we were running late but we were able to grab something to eat. The waitress was very very nice and accommodating for us. There were 5 of us there. We started off with the mimosa flights which were very good. And then we each had different breakfast foods. I think everything was fantastic I had a few issues with my breakfast but nothing I don't think could be solved so here's my review I believe this place will get 3 and a 1/2 stars because of the location the ability to park or the accommodation. And the place was certainly beautifully done, the food, some of it was top tier quality and some could have been better Lets start with the chicken and waffles, My chicken was overdone and no flavor whatsoever and I have had better at canes it was extremely too crispy and hard to cut or swallow. The waffles were overdone, not soft at all however I had the potatoes, Texas potatoes and they were phenomenal. 10 out of 10 definitely try them personallyI will go back just for them. My friend had the avocado toast needed a little more seasoning, but it was good. We also tried the biscuits and gravy very flavourful plenty on the plate. The burrito filling and then the basic breakfast is definitely good. The girls thought the sausages was just a little too greasy. But I think that was just for their taste other than that everything was great.

Great service by Andreas & Deun. I mean Andreas was such a sweet heart, they both kept checking in on us throughout our meal. Grilled chicken cesar was delish! And beautiful presentation. I was shocked because the reviews weren't greta, but they proved us wrong ! Thank you :)

So impressed with the brunch and dinner menu! Pleasantly surprised. You just can't beat the service - Christen is the best! Some of the best downtown Dallas has to offer.

First meal in Dallas, I was looking forward to this but I was beyond disappointed. This place was awful in various ways. The interior was super cool, clean, and the seating was comfortable. The servers were great (nobody would have guessed that it was one of the server's 2nd day on the job). Drinks were ordered - I had the mule and I enjoyed it even though the lime was a bit dry. First issue I had was the fruit flies. We could not eat in peace, it is like we were clapping at the end of a performance. These little guys were very unpleasant and pestering. Second isssue we had was cold food. The brussel sprouts were very cold, almost frozen. They did remake them and it took much longer, but this time at least they were not frozen and tatsty. Third issue we had was cold tater tots. They were warm on the outside but cold in the middle. Fourth issue we had was cold fries. How do you mess up fries? Fifth issue we had was very overcooked steak - it was super super dry. Couple of our members did not even eat half of it. Sixth issue we had was one of our group member's food was not cooked on time with the rest of the food, then the chicken was not cooked. This was my first time meeting her and I felt awful. She ended up not eating there at all. What was good was the drinks and short rib with a side of potatoes. Both were really good, tasty and this is the only dish I recommend. I was a bit shocked that they did not comp some of our food, at least couple/few of the items that were cold. This gesture would have bumped them up to a 3 star. Bottom line: we came in for a birthday party and it was AWFUL. Uncooked and overcooked food was served. LOTS of fruit flies. Drinks were ok. The custodian, Greg, was awesome!

Nice place, no wait to get in at 830 am on a holiday. Food was average. I wouldn't go back for the food. Everything was definitely edible tho. We had the chicken and waffles (chicken appeared to be frozen breaded chicken tenders or something very similar to Dennys), biscuits and gravy (was just ok), and burrito ( also just ok). They don't have a real espresso machine so all their lattes, etc are made with a pod system. I would likely not come back but the service was very nice, just not high end.

I am an early bird so my Sunday brunch is usually more like breakfast. We came here on a Sunday morning around 8:30am and it was pretty quiet, which was nice. We were quickly seated and had a nice server. Since I had looked at the menu previously, we had already decided that we were going to share the monkey bread french toast and the machaca. Got both our sweet and savory covered. Well, the monkey bread french toast was very disappointing. I thought it was going to be moneky bread that they sliced and quickly seared, but it was just thick bread french toast with a terrible peanut butter mousse. The Machaca was good but could have had a little more flavor to it. We did not get drinks since it was so early, but I did see them using a pre-made bloody mary mix so I'm glad I didn't waste $12 on a drink that cost $5 for a whole bottle at Target. All together, I would say this place is a skip for brunch. May come back to try some evening drinks but there are a lot of other options that I will most likely try first.

Went here for Sunday brunch because it's walking distance from my apt. The restaurant is small but the decor is really nice. The food was mediocre, definitely not worth the price. The portion size of the hashbrowns was laughable. The best thing about the meal was the sauce that came with the breakfast tacos. It also paired very well with the machaca. Won't be returning, atleast not for brunch.
