What Will It Take to Bring Diners Back to Dallas’s West End? | Eater Dallas

"A newly opened saloon styled as a draw for visitors to the nearby JFK-related museum, consciously courting museum traffic with a concept that leans into the area’s history and tourist footfall rather than exclusively targeting local diners." - Diana Spechler

Holiday Restaurant Openings in Dallas Include Shodo Sushi and Cenzo’s Pizza | Eater Dallas

"Located in the West End and hosting a grand opening on New Year’s Eve, Jack Ruby’s Saloon — from Joe Groves of Ellen’s — aims to fill a gap for places to hear country bands in Dallas proper; it will feature live music most nights, serve lunch and dinner daily, and showcase a deep whiskey collection in honor of its namesake." - Courtney E. Smith

We stopped by for lunch at Jack Ruby’s on a whim, and honestly I’m so pleasantly surprised! When we walked in, we were told to sit ourselves, and we were helped within the minute we sat down. The service was really great, and they made sure we had everything we needed to be able to enjoy our meals and then some! The beer is ICE COLD and comes out in a frosted gauntlet. The Bacon Mushroom burger and the Texican burger were both so flavorful and juicy. Cooked to absolute perfection. The crinkle cut fries were crispy and soft, everything you want from a crinkle cut. Now, if you are offered the carousel of Dhablo hot sauces, you have to try every single one. There is something so special about these sauces. They have so much flavor than just “hot” and every one has such an interesting depth that really is missing in most hot sauces. You can tell that they are made with love and passion and a deep care for the ingredients. They’re made in house— and it shows! Definitely worth the taste, and I give my best compliments to the Chocolate Habanero Cherry with a runner up award going to the green Mystery Flavor (Pecan Smoked Jalapeno & Pear). They also do live music so that’s always a win. 10/10 recommendation for EVERYTHING.

We had a wonderful experience at Jack Ruby’s. The staff was amazing and very attentive. The chef is extremely talented and our food was out of this world delicious! We had the Texas burger and chef’s special, a poboy. 🤤 Everything from the drinks, food, and atmosphere are handled with great detail and care. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The location is perfect after or before visiting the nearby museums and aquarium. Jack Ruby’s Saloon is truly a Dallas gem!

The food was absolutely amazing!!! It was the best cheeseburger I’ve eaten in years! Great flavor, cooked medium for my liking, well seasoned. The Ruby Mac n cheese was delicious. We topped it w fried chicken, but you can choose the meat you want. Great selection of food on the menu. The atmosphere was great for regular customers or tourists. We were welcomed in and it was such a chill vibe. Naomi was our waitress, she was so great and answered any questions we had, and also made great suggestions. The prices are extremely reasonable for the great quality of food. I also had the Jack Ruby drink- it’s very refreshing and smooth. We enjoyed this restaurant and we will definitely be back on future visits.

I never leave reviews online but the burger i had at Jack Ruby’s saloon is worth mentioning. Everything about the burger was great; best burger i’ve had at a restaurant in a while. Check it out the Bacon and mushroom burger after your trip to the Texas Book Depository

The three of us from the Detroit area of MI just had to check out this restaurant. The bartender and server were very attentive and friendly. We shared stories about our day and their experiences in Michigan. The burgers, brisket sliders, chicken wings and lettuce wedge was all delicious. When you are in downtown Dallas checking out the John F Kennedy Assassination Museum Tour, you NEED to follow up with this establishment and enjoy the wonderful Texas ambiance and kindness. Thank you gentlemen for showing a few tourist what great food and refreshing drinks taste like! #jackrubysbarandgrill @Jack Ruby’s Bar and Grill

Not for locals, but a good spot overall. You know your are in a tourist zone when the first question is where are you from. The staff was very friendly though and we really enjoyed the visit. We order the queso Blanco with pork rinds. It was okay queso, but not up to the standard of what we are used to. Perfect for tourists who can't stand any spice. The Wedge salad was pretty basic. Not many toppings, but the chicken we added was fresh and juicy. Overall we won't be back unless we just wanted some beers and maybe some wings. We saw those ordered and they looked delicious.

We went to the 6th floor museum to take people from out of town so of course the name of this restaurant caught our eye. We decided to take a chance. When you walk in, it seems dark and we were worried it was closed, but we just made it in before the lunch rush. The waitress was great, very responsive to requests and brought things even before we needed them. The food was really really good and the prices were reasonable. The BLT was excellent and the tater tots were perfect, crispy but still soft on the inside. We didn't have drinks, but will next time!

Came here after a long day in class, the breakfast is pretty good. Straight to the point options, and it didn't take long for it to come out. I had a bug in mimosas but my waitress was super sweet, got me a fresh clean glass, new drink without any complaints lol. I do want to come here later in the evening to check out the vibes.

A great little place to visit next to the sixth floor museum. Food was typical bar food but tasty. The service was fine.

My sister and I were looking for a place to have a bite to eat after visiting the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. This place fit the bill just around the corner a block or two away. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon and we had our choice of seating in the open establishment. I opted for the crispy chicken sandwich w/ tater tots and my sister got the crispy taco plate. We were both pleased with our selections. Our server and bartender was very attentive. They had a huge selection of beers and cocktails including NA. My sister got the mystery beer and a shot of Fireball for $6. She got 3 guesses but couldn't guess the draft beer. Never did find out because apparently they have a NDA but it was good so she had another. Nice covered enclosed outdoor patio area with picnic tables with a section for smoking. A band was scheduled to perform but they were just getting there when we left. It's a fun little spot for that area.

Their burger and tots is the best in town. I hear it is the Kentucky UK alumni bar as well. Great staff and easy parking!

Food was good. Went during lunch with co-worker, the service was slow but we made it back on time. Patio area was nice and shaded but fans will be better to beat the heat. But we will be back to check out Happy Hour

great food . The Hummel Bros. hot dog is the best in DFW. The bologna sandwich is a better version of the ones my Aunt use to make.

No longer serving brunch, but they do have delicious lunch/dinner options! Happy hour is from 4pm-7pm and they have many great options!

Welcome Jack Ruby's! West End was sorely in need of a 'divey', after-work, late-night, honky-tonk joint, and the team that runs Ellen's has delivered! The beer and whiskey selection is great, daily specials as well, and the food is on point. Small menu, but everything is done well, and it is a honky-tonk...all we ask for is something to hit the spot quickly so we can get back to the booze and the music. Acoustics are good, outside deck area has tables, TVs and is covered. Looking forward to the summer at Jack Ruby's!

Horrible experience had by our party of 10 and most of the other patrons. It was bizarre. The staff was hustling around trying their best but there were only about 5 tables. It seemed as if the establishment was very poorly managed and the staff were all working for their first day in the restaurant business. The sign at the front door asked patrons to wait to be seated but no one was tending to the door. I watched 3 groups wait at the door and then leave confused. Food was as expected, typical pub grub. Total wait time for food was about 60 minutes.

The atmosphere, the food, and the drinks were all fun and great! I went in with a giant group for kids volleyball tournament and the staff was great and accommodating. I went in later by myself for some adult time and it was even greater. The bourbon, whiskey, and beer selection was great. The staff offered a few drinks that weren't on the menu either. This place is great and I can't wait to come back!

Was here on convention and ate at bar 2 nights. Service was awesome! Food was brought out supper quick. Beers were extremely cold and fairly priced. Had 1 man bad each night. Several tvs to watch different games on. Has inside and outside seating! Definitely would return when back in area!

The service was decent. The distance from the JFK tour was excellent, and the dog-friendly outdoor seating was nice. The beer was super cold and perfect. The food was meh. No frills, nothing to recommend. Not a great location for vegetarian and definitely not vegan. It's a very limited menu with little ability to modify, which is fine and not different than advertised. The indoor vibe was cool and probably a good place for a drink and music. The bathrooms were clean.

Very comfortable and friendly place. Live music, lots of room, excellent beer and whiskey selection and good prices. Limited food menu, mainly burgers and sandwiches, but great place to hang. Good outside deck as well. If in the area just check it out.
