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.

Food was good but not a huge menu. Waiter was efficient but seemed to rush us. We wished it had been more packed. Drinks were small. Still worth trying if you have not been. Casual.

Excellent food, cocktails, and service. Our server, David, took into consideration food allergies, including checking with chef and that was much appreciated.

We love National Anthem and went to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday. They completely spoiled us all with complimentary appetizers and desserts. Everything was delicious, the service was great, and we rolled ourselves out.

My wife and I routinely stop at National Anthem after doctor’s visits at UT Southwestern, and ever since our first visit we have been consistently WOW-ed and, indeed, almost over-satisfied with excellent portions of delicious elevated traditional American and New Southern cuisine from exquisite deviled eggs to a truly masterful chicken cordon bleu sandwich that eats like a proper supper. The bar menu is likewise impeccable, and the rotating surprises of a sizable collection of truly enormous and hearty sandwiches and large plates will have you coming back for lunch and dinner! A must stop when downtown! Bravo! Eddie & Lacy

Soggy egg rolls, dry meat balls. Ordered sandwich DJ, had to be returned. Truly was inedible. Got Caesar salad with steak added, ok at the most. We really enjoyed this place previously and not so much any more. Employees are not professional, dry, and careless. Love Flavorhook restaurants, but this one is now a bust.
