Just inside the bustling Bishop Arts District, you will find the heart of Oak Cliff: Tillman's Roadhouse. This local restaurant perfects every detail of the food, decorations, and the friendly atmosphere.Thin chips in an over sized silver spoon start off the experience as a complimentary table-treat. Even though the chips were distracting, it was hard to miss the ornate decorations. Camouflaged within the wood paneled wall were a herd of wooden deer heads--the unusually tall booth back right underneath them adorned with over sized pillows.
The rustic appeal of the wood was offset by vintage pictures in all different frames. Even more contrasting were the elaborate chandeliers that lined the restaurant. The chandeliers looked so interesting in a rustic setting but further modernised the concrete floors and industrial ceilings.
The food was delicious. You have a choice of four side items with sandwichs--sweet potatoe fries (I couldn't resist), russet fries, chips, or fruit (but, come on, you have to get fries or chips here!). Every last detail was precious...the silverware was oversized and looked like silver wood. The ketchup was even different--it had a cinnamon twist.
To top all of that off...there is a hidden party room in the very back of Tillman's. It was gorgeous. The room was lined with branches from floor to ceiling and had peococks near one top corner. The room was very intimate, only two tiny wooden windows peered within. The chandelier in the middle was so unique: it had ribbon, metal, crystal, flowers, and more. It was stunning.
DALLASight Down Low: This intimate party room can be reserved for a maximum of 24 people and a minimum of 14 people. The chef personalizes the menu for the party: prices range from $44 a person to $65. Also, Tillman's is closed Sunday and Monday (what a shame!).
On your way--dont miss "Fuel City", the ranch of downtown Dallas! The view of longhorns grazing behind a gas station right next to Interstate 35 is quite a sight--it will definitely get you in the mood for the rustic nature of Tillman's Roadhouse!
