    Attended a family Quincenera there. My first time there. Very nice venue for a Quincenera and wedding. Barbeque was awesome! The dance floor is really big. The sound system and DJ was good. Very nicely western decorated and plenty of nice backdrops for photos. I need to go back whenever open to the public.

    Ya know, from the outside, Southern Junction doesn’t look like much; but when you enter the building, you’re blown away. It’s clean, and sounds great. Bar tenders are very friendly and everyone is welcoming. Southern Junction definitely promotes and exemplifies southern hospitality and we will definitely be coming back! Thanks so much Southern Junction!!

    Had a WONDERFUL evening of dinner and dancing with my beautiful wife @ Southern Junction Irving! EXCELLENT dance floor! OUTSTANDING dance band - the Keith Mitchell Band! DELICIOUS steak! The steak was actually bigger than shown - I'd cut off a piece because my wife and I were sharing our entrees.

    Good music, huge dance floor, and the staff is always friendly and smiling. I have not eaten there, so I am not able to comment on the food. But I always have a great time when I go there.

    Fun place. Love the atmosphere here. Generally an older crowd which is nice. Nice dance floor. Building is slightly on the warmer side at times. Overall a fun place to go dancing.

    I went there for My Grandson's Pro Debut in Boxing and it was so much fun, especially because HE( JaycobRagingBullRamos) WON!!! I really enjoyed their Brisket Nachos and my Malibu and Pineapple drink made just right. The restrooms had no toilet paper and the worst thing of all, it was just TOO HOT, I was sweating so much all night long. The place was nice and Big, but the heat was my only complaint, really. I'd go back for another Boxing event though.

    Kept accusing me of bringing in my own water when I literally bought all the water from them for $3 a bottle plus tip lol. They could have literally just confirmed with the bartender but I suppose that wouldn't be as fun. I would stick the water in my back pocket and tell them I'm stepping out to change shirts cause I was sweating and they would constantly accuse me of bringing my own water from my car despite numerous times me explaining otherwise. At the end of the night I went to leave and they locked the doors on me and told me I couldn't leave till I handed them the water I had just bought. They eventually let me leave out a one way emergency exit. Weirdly aggressive and paranoid lol.

    I love this place!! It was my birthday and they treated us like royalty even without reservations! The owners themselves took our pictures and bought us drinks. The atmosphere here is so friendly and lively, it's definitely the place to be! They also sell snacks like nachos and popcorn (we bought both!) I love this place! Owners are so friendly and so are the people here, will definitely be back and yall should come too!!

    Atmosphere, Owners and employees are so Anaximander attentive to guest. We were trying to find a place to let loose while in town from Ohio and the owners and employees made us feel so welcome. When in town I suggest that you find this place. I will definitely return when back in town.

    This is a FUN place! Check their schedule to see when they are open and what's going on each night. The night I was there people were having a great time talking with their friends, enjoying a drink or two, plus line dancing and two stepping. I will definitely be back soon!

    Its a nice saloon type style bar. But It was sweltering hot inside. They could not handle large crowd. With it being over 100 outside. The inside was far worse.

  • 5/5 Virginia C. 7 months ago on Google
    I had an amazing time at this establishment! Drinks were great and reasonably priced, staff was friendly and very professional! Great variety of music and an exciting fun atmosphere I definitely recommend and will return!

    Great place if you dont want a crowd with wide open dance floor. Also the food was pretty good and the bartenders made em strong. Perfect

    Ok, here is my novel. I’ve just never had an odd bar experience like this before. My overall experience at this place on a Saturday night was very underwhelming. When me and my two friends walked in, we were told by the front door guy that our first time coming there would “be worth it.” I don’t know if we caught them on a slow night, but it was definitely not “worth it.” The cover charge was $15. I hope the band received the proceeds because they were the only thing “worth it” that night. HUGE dance floor, yes. Beautiful interior with the saloon feel, yes. Can’t comment on the food, but apparently they have delicious BBQ in the back. Anyway, when me and my two friends walked up to the bar, we were griped at by who I’m assuming was the owner or manager for not getting “in line” behind the register. I didn’t realize bars had lines, but OK. Then, when we got in line, the manager very rudely told us and another couple that we needed to stand alongside the bar counter out of the way of the pathway for people to walk. Mind you, there was NOBODY walking through the walkway at this moment and not near enough people there for him to be commanding people around like that. 😂 There were only two bartenders this night, which honestly was more than enough for the handful of people inside the bar. I paid for six beers for me and my friends and was not even offered limes. Asked for them myself after I paid. Later in the night, my friend ordered 15 shots for our group of friends. My friend wanted to bring the shots to our table, but the manager told him that most people take the shots at the bar. What……? You want 15 people to take the shots at the bar? Why? So we can get yelled at for blocking the SUPER busy walkway again? Then, at the end of the night when me and my two friends left, the main entrance door (where we thought you were supposed to leave) was completely locked. We went around to a different exit door, and as we were climbing into our Uber, the manager and door guy came and followed us outside. It was all just a bizarre experience. Not sure what was with the paranoia on their end, but it completely ruined our experience.

    Got out and thought it would be nice to try a new local. Went there for a wedding party, they were half of the crowd. Line to get drinks was no less than a 15 minute wait Manager is a total jerk, has been since he was at Royse City. First and last time. Expect doors to be closed within the year.

    Asked for a refund walking in the door for 5 min, management said no.lived here and gone here all my life. Management must’ve changed, they’ve never treated me and my friends like this.

  • 1/5 CDavid Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor management, no clue how to run a bar/dance club. Went there for NYE party, pre-paid for tickets and reserved tables. Showed up, they couldn't find us on the table list. After 15 minutes, the head guy apparently said "oh yeah I remember him" and he forgot to put us on the list. Meanwhile, some big bald guy was an absolute jerk to our entire party. He actually shouted at us several times "you gotta wait in line!", even after we explained that we ALREADY waited in line and other staff members were trying to get our tables ready, and we were standing exactly where the staff told us to stand. Absolutely rude and obnoxious for a first impression. The venue itself is very nice. That's about it. The band they picked for the NYE "party" was playing sad memorial style country songs bringing the whole place down. Our table was in disbelief. No popular songs, just his own material. He was 18, very talented, but absolutely wrong for this party. They had three (3) bartenders for the entire party. The line to get a bottle of beer ($6 I think for Coors/Bud/etc) was over 20 minutes long all night. I saw person after person get out of line because they were tired of waiting (go look up "lost revenue"). The poor young guy that was tending bar on the far side didn't have a clue what he was doing, and was moving like molasses. Not his fault, it was a bad fit and his management was to blame. They promised appetizers were included. The lady literally counted out 1, 2, 3 little smokies and 3 little meatballs. Felt like I was at a kindergarten graduation party, not a NYE party that cost over $30 a person with fees to get into. We bailed before midnight and found a fun place elsewhere. Wasn't gonna wait around on whatever lame, stingy thing they had planned for midnight. Management - think this is harsh or inaccurate? Please go poll your guests. Bet you won't...

    Definitely older crowd but a good alternative for a bit more wholesome atmosphere. Went with a church group instead of red river because we wanted something more chill to dance and it delivered. Food is good but the music did get more raunchy the later it got

    Great atmosphere, big dance floor and very nice bartenders. We tried the brisket sandwich and the nachos; it was all really good . They also have pool tables. Cover was only $5 ! We will definitely be back

    During a trip from out of town to the DFW area, I had an opportunity to attend the Southern Junction Boots and Bling New Year's Eve event. This was my first time visiting Southern Junction and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the facility, music, dance floor, and the professional attentiveness and friendliness of the owners and staff. My whole experience, from making reservations with Marie for the event, to my departure was first class. Thank you Southern Junction for helping to make my New Year's Eve so fun!

    Went there on a night when a disc jockey was spinning the music. I asked them if they had a large catalog of music to choose from and they said virtually anything. So I asked them to play Hayseed Dixie's version of the Ace of Spades by Motorhead. The DJ immediately scowled at me and said they don't play songs like that because it is not serious country music. So much for a place being able to making light of the music genre.

    Um. Great place to dance. Especially Practice. Nice dance floor BUT. How do you mix up cards at the bar when the place is empty….20 people max. And they managed to mix up cards…maybe add some rules or security. Or perhaps check last names on cards instead of just first names: very disappointed for my first time.

  • 4/5 Michael W. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't know what I was walking into. Was very pleasantly surprised. A honky tonk that had a live band, 20 ft projection TV playing football, three pool tables, and a huge bar. I suppose the only real negative I could say is they don't have draft beer.

  • 5/5 David S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great crowd. Excellent food. Like restaurant quality. Like seriously, the food is worth the trip itself. Ambience is a western saloon. Bring your cameras. And it's not too dark or shadowy. All in all, if you are looking for a descent venue to mingle and not be hassled by a blithering idiot or a drunk bimbo
