Okay food, but terrible service 12/3/2009

The ranking went to this restaurant's head. We had a waiter who ignored our table in favor of horsing around with other waiters, and we had the audacity to complain, came back to our table asked if we had a problem with his service in a very angry manner. The manager didn't seem to care. I've never had a waiter treat customers so disrespectfully. Plus, we had a party of 15 people, and they wouldn't let us bring our own cake without paying a ridiculous ""cake fee"" because, as they explained, they would have to bring out silverwear. I will never go back. It's sad, because the restaurant is very pretty inside. Pros: decorated beatifully Cons: rude waitstaff more

Great everytime 10/1/2009

Love the chicken fried beef hanger steak and mashed potatoes....everything on the menu is very well-made. There is a little bit of a wait every time you go on the weekend. Its worth it though. more

Don't go on a Friday night 2/15/2009

We were a bit disappointed in Tillman's after the great reviews we had heard and read. We were a party of six and they attempted to sit us at a four top table, crowded for adults. We had reservations for six and confirmed that there would be six of us, so we protested and asked for another table. With much discussion and intervention from the owner, we were finally seated 30 minutes after the reservation time. Pros: Variety of foods, price Cons: noise, crowded on weekends more

Every chance we get 10/30/2008

When in Dallas for a Saturday we always eat lunch at Tillman's. Creatively cooked,excelent tasting food is always on the menu, with an attentive wait staff doing the servng. Highly recommended. Pros: Food/Service/Ambience/Parking Cons: don't bring an army with you. It isn't the Bonnanza. more

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful 8/26/2008

My husband and I often go to Tillmans as we live close by. From day one we have been treated so well and we have had wonderful service. Sarah the owner is a lovely lady as are all the Staff. You must try the Birthday cake as a desert... it's big enough for two and chocolate decadence. Do be warned it can get very busy in the evenings. But what does that tell you?....... It's gotta be Wonderful. Pros: Lots of parking and lovely shops close by more

Sarah makes this an OakCliff favorite... 4/25/2008

Besides having some of the best food in Bishop Arts, Not to mention Oakcliff. Tillmans is the best place in the metro-plex for a quick bite, a fun date or a romantic evening between the two of you... Pros: Everything more

most pitiful excuse for dining ever 3/23/2008

What a nightmare. We had a reservation at 8pm and it was moved to 8:30, so I thought, ok, no big deal, just walk around for a bit and wait. We didn't get seated until 9pm. Our party of about 20 was seated in the private room , there were 4 tables total (which, if you look on the website says they are set to handle these numbers). Everything was ridiculously slow, drink orders, appetizers, and especially the main course. We sat at the table in the back and after waiting hours to get our food and seeing (eventually) the rest of our party getting and finishing thier main course and preparing to leave, we still hadn't gotten our food. We were finally served at 11pm, a TWO HOUR WAIT! Our entire party was left to wait on the one table who hadn't been served yet. No apologizes were made by the staff, manager, or owner. Our concerns (we politely inquired with the manager once and then the owner) were answered by rudeness and excuses. We also overheard complaints about our party by the owner herself about making separate checks which was suggested by the waiter. NOTHING was done to remedy the situation. Getting the check was a nightmare, another 45 minutes of waiting and after all that, we were still the last table to recieve the bill and we received the bill in full plus several extra drinks that we never had (some of us had non-alchoholic drinks as well, so we were very clear on everything, just in case you are wondering). Our full drinks were yanked from us without asking us if we were finished and way before the check was given. All of this and the food was mediocre at best and some of it cold. Price to quality of food/service ratio was painfully out of balance. Venison frito pie tasted like wolf brand chili.The waiter patronized me and gave several pats on the back with false promises that our food or check was on its way. Some of this could have been forgiven had there been reparations made but there was not even the slightest attempt at this. I WILL NOT BE BACK!! Pros: hardly Cons: you name it more

HANDS DOWN WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER 3/21/2008

What a disaster! Our 8pm reservation was pushed back to 8:30 (then it was another 20 minutes to get seated). Our party of about 20 was seated in the private room, there were 4 tables total. Everything was ridiculously slow, drink orders, appetizers, and especially the main course. We happened to be seated at a table that was neglected more than the others who were served and completely finished eating 30 minutes before our food arrived. Our entire party was left to wait on the one table who hadn't been served yet. The main course for us was served at 11pm, a TWO HOUR wait! No apologizes were made by the staff, manager, or owner. Our concerns were answered by rudeness and excuses. We also overheard complaints about our party by the owner herself about making 4 separate checks which was suggested by the waiter. NOTHING was done to remedy the situation, we received the bill in full plus several extra drinks that we never had. Also getting the check was a nightmare, another 45 minutes of waiting. Not to mention our full drinks were yanked from us by an over anxious bus boy, this was done without asking us if we were finished and way before the check was given. Other atrocities that are worth mentioning are: lukewarm and even cold food, food price to quality ratio was out of balance, the venison frito pie was hauntingly reminiscent of wolf brand chili, the waiter patronized us and gave several pats on the back with false promises that our food or check was on its way, unprofessional service overall - dessert was never offered, plates were passed around to their rightful owners, a severe lack of preparation for a large party who had reserved in advance. Why have a private room if you can't staff it or get food prepared in a reasonable amount of time!? It was ultimately a painful dining experience, after so much waiting, horrible service, and mediocre food NOTHING was done to make reparations! We will never go back to Tillmans Roadhouse. Pros: neat birch trees Cons: everything else more

Trendy 6/7/2007

Trendy new place, impressive display of many crystal chandeliers. Very expensive for the neighborhood. more

Coolest restaurant ever! 4/14/2007

Not to sound juvenile, but this really is. As far as decor goes, this restaurant is unparallel to any I've ever seen. It's as if Urban Outfitters co decided to open a restaurant. And as if looking around wasn't entertainment enough (you almost forget you came to eat), the food is just as amazing! Truffled popcorn & hot roasted peanuts delivered upon your arrival in marvelous presentation. Entrees are amazing, but definetly start with the fries! Presented to you in a branded wooden box, there are three varieties showcased inside - Chili dusted, parmesan & black pepper and smoked sea salt. You won't be disappointed! Cons: May be a bit cramped for parties over 10 more
