Here’s When New Dallas Food Hall Victory Social Opens

A new multi-concept eatery will open this week on the ground floor of One Victory Park (2323 Victory Ave.), the skyscraper and office complex at the corner of Victory Avenue and Lamar Street, less than half a mile south of the American Airlines Center.

Victory Social will include a diverse collection of six chef-driven restaurants. The 12,000-square-foot food hall will be helmed by James Beard-nominated chef Joshua Harmon, whose popular fried chicken spot, Birdie, is relocating to Victory Social from Exchange Food Hall in AT&T Discovery District.

Other tenants include grab-and-go coffee and breakfast spot Rise & Thyme; soup, salad and sandwich destination Park Bistro; contemporary taqueria Itzá Cocina; steak and seafood joint Victory Grill; and Neapolitan pizza and pasta place D’oro Italiano.

Apart from the pre-existing Birdie, these were all developed by Harmon in collaboration with Hospitality Alliance, the management group behind Victory Social. Harmon created all six menus and oversaw the hiring of chefs.

Beginning in December, Victory Social will also offer curated, full-service dinner menus handpicked by Harmon in the evening. Selections will include duck frites, Berkshire pork cheek with fermented garlic sorghum, and grilled prawns with smoked scallop cream and fried pepperoni crumbs.
A robust by-the-bottle and by-the-glass wine menu will be available, along with craft and on-tap cocktails, local beers and seltzers.

A preview of the space shows an open, modern environment. The clean, warm and minimalist design will be a perfect backdrop for whatever outing you’re having there, be it your lunch break or a dinner date.

When you live in the city (especially an area like Victory Park), convenience is everything, and any spot you can get to without sitting in traffic is a must-visit. We’re sure a food hall where you can get your morning coffee, a soup and sandwich for lunch and high-quality dinner and drinks within walking distance of the financial district, Katy Trail and the American Airlines Center will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Victory Social will open at 2323 Victory Ave. on Nov. 8. Regular hours, Sunday – Thursday, 10:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Friday – Saturday, 10:30 a.m. – 11 p.m. Rise & Thyme hours are daily, 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. Walk-ins will be welcome and reservations can be made on Toast.
