What To Expect
Deep Ellum
The lively Deep Ellum entertainment district is known for its vibrant street murals, quirky art galleries and long-time concert venues for indie and blues. Brewpubs, cocktail bars and Tex-Mex eateries draw a boisterous crowd on weekends, while edgy, experimental drama dominates the program at the time-tested Undermain Theatre, in a warehouse basement.
The Bomb Factory
In 1914, Henry Ford chose this area for his early automobile plant where the Model T was born, and has now become a music venue and event space located in the Deep Ellum district of downtown Dallas, Texas.

5.00Being in Texas everything was beef except dessert. Damian, our guide offered a chicken option for the taco if we wanted but we chose to stick with the beef. Brisket was exceptional and all the dishes were delicious. Our group was only the four of us traveling together so Damian took us around the murals and had time to give us more of the history of the Deep Ellum area. Damian was very personable and knowledgeable of the area.
Great experience of different adventures must tour

5.00Overall great experience.. things we never would have saw in Dallas..,started of with the brisket place.. was very good.. then the candy shop(which was fun with the aged sodas and candy) then great chili with a beer.. the chili was good.. then a optional stop which I think is a must see is the mozzarella place (where you see mozzarella cheese made by 30 plus employees.. the owner came out and spent a great deal of time with us explaining how’s it made.. then stoped at the oil and spice place (optional although I think a must see) could taste over 50-70 different oils of all flavors flown in from Italy.. along with all kinds of spices.. (must see if you cook at all) then ended the tour with a pie place that the pie looks like a 1lb of pie of choice of 6 different.. the murals on the alleys were great to look at.. the extra stops that were not advertised were great and he took time for us to go their

2.00I’ve done many food tours across the world and this was my least favorite. It felt disorganized and it didn’t match the description. According to the description, we had a “secret” food item and a warm biscuit with honey, neither of which were on the tour. There were three heavy beef items in a row, brisket, chili and a taco. We spent a long time in a candy shop where everyone was just standing around and waiting to leave. None of the restaurants felt ready for us (except the chili place). I wanted to love this, but it was a bit of a miss. We were expecting 6 stops and we had 4 (plus the candy shop) in 3 hours. Every other tour I’ve been on has more than 4. It felt dragged out.
