Great place! Our friends came into town to visit and we wanted a great spot for some mimosas and found Pie Tap from TikTok! Our party was running 8-10 mins late and gave a call to the restaurant for a heads up. The hostess was so sweet and said she'd hold a table for our party until we arrived. Our waitress was so wonderful and attentive and the food was exceptional! Highly recommend the garlic rosemary puffs! Obsessed would be an understatement and we'll definitely be back for more! ♡

Always a great place to get high-quality pizza with great service. They have a seasonal menu that they always put a lot of thought into and this was no different. The waiter was very knowledgeable and kind, making the experience pretty perfect.

It was my sister’s birthday, there were five of us & we had a private booth right next to the kitchen! It was so fun to watch the chef’s & servers doing their work. The ceviche, guac were our appetizers. I tried the Bourbon Margarita - yum! Everyone enjoyed their dinner plates although we took most home because we filled up on appetizers & cocktails! Great evening & atmosphere. I love the Lakewood location because it’s smaller & more intimate than other locations

Deep Ellum

About the restaurant

Located in Dallas’ newly-minted East Quarter neighborhood,
National Anthem will feature a variety of riffs on classic new
American. The space yearns for food that touches vintage but with a modern approach. You can
expect elements of both coasts with a straight-forward Texas sensitivity, hopefully capturing the
vibes of a big-city, downtown dining room.

National Anthem is housed within the Magnolia Oil building located at the intersection of Commerce
Street, Jackson Street, and Cesar Chavez Boulevard. The building was originally built in 1920 by the
Magnolia Petroleum Company, later renamed Mobil Oil.

Fun Facts:
• The triangular architechture of the building is known as a “flatiron” design.
• The angles of the trianglular shape of Town Hearth and the Magnolia Oil Building are within 2
degrees of one another.
• From the rooftop patio, customers will have clean sight lines of Downtown, Uptown, Deep Ellum,
and the Farmer’s Market.

Our server Isaiah was very good. We had a party of 6 adults and 4 children and everyone was happy with the buffet options. Wasn't my first visit and won't be the last.
