Midget wrestling and boxing. Its very fun.

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 - Id cut off a piece because my wife and I were sharing our entrees.

First time here! Drinks are very good. Really liked the atmosphere.

First off, my husband and I have passed this place so many times. We didn’t even know what it is or if it was even open. We really thought it was an abandoned restaurant. So, Saturday night, I was googling somewhere to go in our area when Southern Junction popped up. I was surprised. So I called and got a recording. We decided to go ahead and go because there was going to be live music. The doorman and cashier were very nice and inviting. I loved the atmosphere and the dance floor was amazing. It has that whole country western feeling. It is really cool. I was expecting something great. The place is huge.There is a HUGE screen to watch the fights on. My husband went to the bar to get drinks. He was not happy that his beer was in a can and not a bottle or glass. All of the good tables were reserved but nobody was there even after the band started.When the band started it didn’t sound like they even sound checked. The first song they played, I couldn’t even tell you what the melody was. It sounded all over the place. The singer wasn’t loud enough the drums were louder than the other instruments,the speakers had a little bit of reverb and rattled. I think they only sing original music and not anything you would hear on the radio. That was disappointing. There may have been 50 people in the place. So after the second song, and mind you, if my husband says “are you ready to go “, he is NOT having a good time. We walked out.If I could rate just the amazing inside of the hall, I would give a 5 star. We might go back to watch the Super Bowl game (if they are open) or other events on the screen . It saddens me to think this awesome atmosphere is not being utilized to its full potential. Get some great local Texas bands in there.

The food and service were beyond my expectations. We absolutely enjoyed the vibes of this restaurant. Great place to take the family out for dinner.

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 its not too dark or shadowy. 18 and up so attracts more adult crowd. All in all, if you are looking for a descent venue to mingle and not be hassled by a blithering idiot or a drunk couger.

Its was spacious and the staff was friendly. . It was the Tejano legend Little Joe Birthday. They also had world know band Tejas Brothers open and it was a great show. They also had a band called Malo from California

Was surprisingly impressed with the whole dinner. Will definitely come back & try the catfish if they have it again.

The building and dance floor are great, the bands usually very good, but unless you take your own dance partner, its going to be a lonely evening

We had a lot of fun watching the fights. It was a great experience.

Overall had a great time but it was hard to get around the quite high drink prices.

Great dance floor in excellent condition. We will come back here again. Love the atmosphere. Love the staff. Love the music. Love the entire concept.

Big dance floor and plenty of room to get around. Food smelled great.

Best food, kind employees, constantly great character. They charge fair rates and the food quality is very good. Highly recommended.

Reasonable but neefs to get better organized. Stand in line to pay, stand in line for the steak, stand in line for the sides and then again for ur drink. Side bar with salad and veggies open and food uncovered.

A group of us went this past Saturday night and I am speaking for some of them as well.No steaks cooking, huge annoying fans for air, only beers in a can and a bit high. $10 too much for cover. The band was ok and the DJ kept cutting some of the songs short. The bar tender had a bit of an attitude.The floor is good. It was much better than this the last time they were opened.We may give it another try if they work on these things in the next few weeks.

Dam great place to eat and very family environment my first time there

Place, steak dinner, employees, everybody and everything was great friends n us will b back next Friday for dinner.

Great new place to dance in town! Great food and music too!

Just a nightclub, disappointing on the sound system,too much bass.Couldnt tell who was in control of the Soundsystem,the band or Southern Junction.Probably ok for tajano music .It is the third time I have been back since they reopened not the same.

Nice venue. But advertised as a steak house. I was very disappointed. Its not a restaurant .

Great service and great food

Went to the boxing matches. Plenty of room. Lighting was great. Plenty of choices to eat and drink. It was a great time.

It is a huge place and the staff there are wonderful!

Great place! Great Dance floor! Good music, except the DJ plays too much other music between band sets and not enough country music. My husband I will return!! Tracy Byrd was great!! Hopefully more people will come to this club to dance!!

Great place! Great Dance floor!

I enjoyed it. Great atmosphere.

Staff wasnt very welcoming and thats for both, the SoJo staff and whoever rented this venue!!! The food was basic!!! How do you not season chicken wings??? I paid $7 for a beer!!!

Had an amazing time .

Staff is awesome! Waitress didnt charge us for our soft drinks. Very pleasant atmosphere. Awesome mix of music. GM BJ is a very kind and generous man! Definitely will continue going!

Its a nice place. Nice dance floor, Very very nice decor, very good band. The only thing we noticed we didnt see a mechanical bull. We will come back here again. They have a free dance lesson every Thursday.

The music venue was fantastic! Seating is crowded, but people are friendly and respectful. Everyone can see the main attraction wherever they are seated, too! The food was great, although we got a rough start getting it. You can cook your own steak, so it was a treat to watch my son in action on the grill! The waitstaff is genuinely kind and caring, even when overwhelmed with a big star in the house and the crowd! I was discounted for the extremely long wait, and my experience overall was unique and fun. I really appreciate how well we were treated, and I will visit again! - UniquelyD

Fabulous atmosphere. Unique concept. Grill your own or let them do it. live music and a Huge dance floor. Fun place

The the food. Love the atmosphere. Love the staff. Love the music. Love the entire concept. I bring at least one new person there every week.

If you like country this is it

My wife and I went tonight to try this place out. Ordered 2 $10.95 burgers and an order of fries with a couple of drinks. We got there around 7:30 this evening and the place was not busy. After waiting for 45 minutes. I got up to find our waitress to find out where our burgers were. A few minutes later the manager came over to apologize for it taking so long and that our burgers would be right out. Thirty minutes after that he came back by to tell us that he had to grind the meat for the burgers and they should be out in the next 10 to 15 minutes. So after waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes. The meat for our burgers supposedly made it onto the grill. After waiting another 20 minutes nothing showed up. I got up, found the manager and told him to forget it after the people who sat down at the table in back of us 30 - 45 minutes after we got there, got their burgers before we did after sitting there for over an hour and a half we left! I would NOT recommend this place unless you want to wait 2 hours to get your food.

Huge space with a nice dance floor

Band was great. Steak was good. Me and the wife went and I was able to cook the steak how I wanted. Wifes burger never came out for an hour. They did take it off the check however. Drinks are a bit pricey for the location and service. Its a new place but looks to be promising. Will be back and hopefully they improve each time

Staff is stellar and manager Brandon will bend over backwards to ensure a good experience. Great dance floor in excellent condition. Band cancelled at last minute. DJ stepped up and came through like a champ. Danced til Midnight, went home tired but happy.

Great place, great food and service, ask for Bailey. Big dance floor and band area. Looking forward to seeing some of the shows there, dont miss the chance to get by.

Visiting the town, Irving, and made plans to go to this place. Little to be known, this place is closed down. No signs to tell you otherwise AND their website AND google states the place is open for business. No phone IVR script to announce closure when you call, either. A true testament to the owner(s) lack of understanding, on professionalism and common courtesy.

Great dance floor! Wait staff very nice and accommodating. The band that was the night we went was awesome! Most definitely be going back.

Rockwall location has been around forever, dont like the younger clients being there, but the dance floor and bands are great. Recently went to the Irving location. The actual location might turn people off, hope it doesnt. But the inside is fantastic, its beautiful, the dance floor is big and TV is huge. I loved this place but the crowd hasnt caught on yet. Its only been open 7 days but I hope that since they built it they will come. Will be a great place between Dallas/Fort Worth.

I’ve been twice and both times our orders have been forgotten. The second time was to a birthday dinner, and I received my food an hour after everyone else. The bar service was always quick, the food was good enough. We were compensated a free app each time for the wait, but I know I won’t be back.

I love the interior! The tables were too close together but I thought most of the seats in the venue had a good view of the open concert stage and there was the unique feature of a dance floor in the middle.

Place was hot, but I understand the A/C has been fixed. The server never returned to refill our drinks, or course we had non alcoholic, but still. Will give it another try, but things must improve.

We came here for the first time to have dinner and see Parker McCollum. The 6 steaks we ordered were tasty but over done. After dinner was cleared the bar was starting to get busy, and it was impossible to get drinks. They are so under staffed and ill prepared for a crowd befitting to their venue. There were lines to get a drink at the bars, and even our table waitress couldn’t keep up. We loved the house band, dance floor, and Parker!! We will try them again some day, but will eat dinner elsewhere.

Great concert Parker McCollum! Paid $30 for a steak that was salty and tough. Don’t waste your money. Absolutely the WORST table service ever. Waitress never even came back to the table. Had to go to the bar to get out drinks Very understaffed! Drove an hour to come here. Won’t ever do it again!

I loved being able to see Ronnie Milsap. Other than that it was not great. I really wanted this to be good.

This is a great honky tonk and restaurant. Good people, great atmosphere, great drinks and just a nice feel. Everyone will feel welcome. Live music, pool tables, steaks and shots shots shots.

Easy ambience. Huge place. Good place for groups. Live music should gather a good crowd.

Awesome place. Great dance floor, cold beer and awesome wait staff. Tracy Byrd was amazing. Let your friends now about this place.

Ordered burgers and waited 2 hours..once I hit that mark I cancelled my order. The place sits mostly empty on a Saturday night and I can see why. Manager visited the table twice (there was another group who waited longer) to assure us the burgers were coming out. They claimed to have run out of hamburger meat and had to grind more. When we pointed out that many hamburgers had come out while we waited (for patrons who came after is) they said they didnt get burgers. My mistake, the neat between two buns confused me. Avoid this place at all costs

I was here for a wrestling show, and I loved it. The atmosphere is amazing, and the wait staff is top-notch. Ill be going back.

Love a good county dancing place with live music and food. But would like see some healthy options on menu. And music to too loud. Turn it down please.

Food was really good!

Steak house is incorrect. No steaks on the menu was available except for rib eye. No butter available for baked potatoes. Never did get our appetizers and had to cook our lousy rib eyes ourself. Had to make our own baked potatoes with no butter. Service was horrific. I understand it was busy for Ronnie Milsap..then hire more people for the event..order more steak..its not that hard. Wont be back. Waste of time and money

Service is TERRIBLE. My parents ordered burgers and fries, after waiting an hour and 15 minutes without service there was still no food. The manager came out multiple times saying food was on the way and that they were grinding meat after being out. Still no burgers 30 minutes later. We watched 4 other burger orders go out in the meantime all while being assured food was on the way. We eventually just left without food.

The food leaves allot to be desired. Their loaded potato is loaded but its also quite small. The bun for the burger fell apart and the tomato slice was way too thick. Eat before you go there to see a show.

New place, drinks allowed on dance floor, no ac crappy service children allowed after 10pm and under 21 allowed after that. Maybe when they grow up we might try again, til then dont waste your time

Fun place for boxing

Great music and dancing

If the a/c is working now it will make all the difference. Great band, fun variety of music from the DJ. The drinks were horrible and they did some false advertising for their grand opening specials. Id try it again because its close to family/ friends and I love music, but Id be cautious of my expectations.

You can save two dollars by cooking your own steak. I paid to have a chef do it, but I wish I had done my own, as my New York Strip was overseasoned. The doneness was just right, though. The garlic bread was a thick slice of white bread, untoasted and saturated with salty butter on both sides. It was like a wet sponge. Disgusting. Baked potato was good, but apparently part of the hour delay in getting our food was that the waitress had to prepare new potatoes, as the cook had added the wrong condiments. Service was friendly. Music performance was good. Projected music videos between bands were fun.

Great music with Keith Mitchell band but was looking forward to a steak dont have them on Wednesday any more

Overpriced, crappy climate control. Was too hot to dance. The Bellamy Brothers were awesome though.

Nice dinner place, very cute inside. Didnt eat dinner, just went to see the band, Brian Lynn Jones and the Misfit Cowboys. Not into dinner houses. Not the right place to go for just dancing.

Live band was awesome. Food was good. Great atmosphere

Great concert venue but just know if you want the staff to cook the steaks it takes a while otherwise you have to do it yourself.

Ok so waited a while to eat here. So my expectations were high. I love steak, if you know what I mean, so I going to be a little generous with my evaluations. Ordered medium rare thats what it cam as. Was flat and pressed grill marks where good taste was average. Better than golden corral but less than salt grass... just an average steak house if had to rate for just night club it 5 stars. But restaurant is average at best...Added 01/17/20Went to just eat because seen the chef on abc, well needless to say didnt stay there where about 5 cars in the parking lot it was 7pm probably atleast 2 hours before the band even came on stage and they want a $10 cover if they are trying to get more business it isnt happening that way probably not gonna go back...

Hey this place is unique in DFW! If you love live music, and love to dance, remember that there are not that many dancehalls to go to anymore. So support this one and provide the management the honest feedback they need to keep improving and help them grow their clientele at this new location. I am sure they will make it right. Enjoy! See you there!

Had a great time at the boxing match

Food service is a mess. Drink prices are good, bands are good, dance floor could be better. Children allowed after 10pm that sucks, even saw underage kids here past midnight.

Th service left a lot to be desired. It was our waitresses 2nd day in the job and she clearly had no previous server experience. Southern Junction needs to do a better job of training staff. The were a lot of frustrated customers that night. Being our first time there, I’m not sure we’ll go back. Without proper training, they are setting the wait staff up for failure and losing customers.

Venue was great. A perfect 72 degrees the entire time

Great atmosphere and delicious food! My kids and I LOVE the decor too!!

Great food, drinks and dancing

Real Deal Honky-Tonk. GIANT dance floor and good C&W music. Seriously one of the best priced steak dinners you can get anywhere and you can cook it yourself.

Family friendly, love this place for dancing and it doesnt get over crowded.

Great atmosphere, live bands, down home steaks and burgers, and all the beer you can chase it with. Parker Mcollum LIVE on the 26!Come on by!

It was great.. I hope everyone in Irving will take the time to visit more often to keep.the Steak House here in Irving.

We tried their food on Wednesday the two-for-one special steak was very flavorful everything was fresh was very pleased also great music with the Keith Mitchell band there are awesome

The steaks were thin and pretty poor quality. About what you can get at Walmart, but the prices were significantly higher. You have to cook the steaks yourself, which is fine by me, but the fires arent really high enough to get such thin cuts of meat to even medium and also get some char on the outside or render much of the fat.Im a steak snob, and this place is clearly not for people who have strong opinions about cuts of meat and how to cook. Its for people who cant tell the difference between Walmart steaks and what even a low end sit down restaurant serves. I really felt ripped off by the whole situation. And that yellow block of shortening they call butter is disgusting.Overall the atmosphere is interesting but drink service was slow and the rest of the food was mediocre at best. One thing is for sure, it was memorable. My visit was back in December and I still pretty vividly remember my disappoinment when I looked in the meat case. I hope they found a new supplier since then.

Keith Mitchell Band is greatest Country band around DFW area, even the whole State of Texas!

Its free for right now. Doesnt get any better in town. Front side is norteñas and cumbia. The back side regeaton merengue salsa bachatta and a lil bit of old school music. Over all its a thumbs up

Waited 2 hours for food, cancelled the order it showed up 30 minutes after that. Left it sitting on the table. For the crazy prices they charge you would expect much better.

The atmosphere is Great, I feel the service is lacking, also we ordered crispy fried mushroom as our appetizer which were not battered very well, or chrispy, there should be quality check by the manager from the back of the house. I would like this place to succeed, Irving needs a cowboy dancing venue, however if additional wait staff are not brought on, or no quality food check before it is brought to the table, i dont feel Southern Junction, doesnt offer anything unique, that will keep me coming back. I also dont understand there policy on no free refills on soft drinks, never heard of this.

1st time there and it was AWESOME!!!!

Best Charbroiled steaks & live entertainment, big dance floor - whats not to like

Have tried desperately to enjoy this place. Been 4 times, everytime unflattering.Went with the family one Saturday 6pm well before it was remotely late and was told my kids could not dance on the floor (yes we were literally an arms length away not just letting them run around)Another time went during a concert and the bartender threw my CHL ID (pulled it out instead of my DL) at me when carding me and said he wouldnt serve me. Didnt hand it back threw it????Food was decent but took over an hour when the place had less than 25 people in it total including staff.Now the AC is out and the place is a humid stuffy mess with some box fans in the cornersNo way this place can be remotely cutting even, has great potential but needs an overhaul of service and appeal...

Fun place, good food, cold beer, and live music.

The place is awesome. Great people, great music, great atmosphere.

Tjis place is a blast country music and live bands great fun

The food was not very good and way overpriced. Complained about the steak, and the manager never came over. Dance floor and music was good

So happy there is now a SoJo in Irving!! Fun food, music, and drinks!

It was a nice place to relax but have fun, and the band was awesome...

Air conditioner has been broken for three weeks now, very uncomfortable. They also have a cover charge after 9:00 pm, not worth the money, drinks are high as well.

Im so glad a place this fun is so close! I had a blast. I saw Deryl Dodd and he was amazing. I did not eat there but tried my friends French fries... real potatoes very good. They liked the burgers. Onion rings were not that many and were soggy with grease... cooked in grease too low temp. Fixable. I like how you can get so close to the artists. They have country dance lessons but Im not sure what days? Bartenders know how to make good drinks. I would love to see Karoke nights there.

Cant wait to start dance lessons here

Worst place I ever eaten. Service was the poorest I have ever experienced. They charge $2.00 to cook the beef the way requested. No mention on minue for doing so.
