Bucket and Rope

Been here many times! Love it!

This restaurant offered an authentic experience! It felt as if it’s the neighborhood go to spot on a Saturday. Everyone was welcoming. I tried the brisket risotto balls, which were very filling. I do wish there was a tad more brisket present. The raspberry chipotle sauce was amazing and paired well with the risotto. I enjoyed the grilled branzino, which was well portioned and seasoned. I paired it with a side of cheddar grits, which could use a bit more savory flavor. Overall I enjoyed dining here and look forward to returning.

Good Service.

Amazing staff, food, & environment!

I completely respect that this is private property and that the owner has every right to decide who can park there. However, I was disappointed by how I was treated. Before parking, I went inside to ask for permission because I was doing a photoshoot at the Scottish Rite Cathedral and wanted to make it easier for my daughter instead of having her walk across the street. As we got out of the car, the owner came outside upset and told me I should have asked him personally. I explained that I had already asked for permission, but he continued telling me that photographers park there all the time without asking. The part that didn't feel fair was being treated as though I was one of those photographers when this was my first and only time parking there. As soon as he told me, I immediately moved my car and did not use the parking space. Again, I understand and respect his property rights. My disappointment is simply with the way the situation was handled.

We celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary here. Nothing disappointed us! Food was phenomenal as was the service, thank to Maria and Johnna! This restaurant is repeat worthy!

Noted as open. Spent 20 minutes in traffic getting there for them to say they were closing early once we arrived. Disappointing.

Excellent wine, service, people/vibe.🕊️🤝🕊️🤝🕊️

From start to finish, EXCELLENCE. Convenient, especially for downtown because it has its own parking lot, free of course. Owned by the Ruibals- and connected directly to Ruibal’s Plants via the outdoor area- it makes for more than just a dining experience. Taking a stroll through the nursery before or after lunch or dinner and you’ve got an entire date day without leaving the block. Photo ops too with all the beautiful plants and all of the antiques. I spy carved wooden heads with glass eyes :) I spy the most beautiful intricate cash registers :) and it goes on. We ordered the Lamb Chops + Brussels. My husband who doesn’t ever enjoy Brussel sprouts, ate them up. The lamb chops were so tasty, charred but juicy still. We ordered another round! We were very impressed with the chef. Who apparently came from one of the best restaurants in Dallas and brought all his talent to Bucket + Rope. Salads were heaping portions and they are mixed greens. Forget the cheap romaine mixes. These were fresh greens. We had 3 salads at the table- not a single wilted green got through. Plenty of toppings too. We got the steak too and it was so tender and flavorful. At first, you wish there was more of it but once you eat the fries and salad- you realize the portions are just right. Our service was great, they’re very attentive. Our drinks stayed topped off and even when the kiddos made a mess, they were helpful and had smiles while they cleaned up for us. The backyard area offers a space for the kiddos to move around a bit more with the turf and open air. No one minded their high energy and that was a big relief. It’s hard with kiddos to go to nice places without a little judgement, Bucket + Rope made us ALL feel welcome the entire time. We ended up spending nearly 4 hours there between the meal and wandering the nursery. Worth every penny and then some. Reasonably priced for the level of quality. We expected a much bigger price tag. We went back again the next week because we couldn’t wait to try some more.

Bucket & Rope was such a fun place to watch a World Cup match! The atmosphere was electric, with everyone getting into the game and creating an awesome vibe. There were tons of food vendors to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was also incredibly friendly and helped make the experience even better. My only suggestion would be to add some fans to the back patio. It was extremely hot, and without any air movement, I was absolutely drenched in sweat. Even a few large fans would make a huge difference. Other than that, I had a great time and will definitely be coming back for another game or just to chill with friends.
