Okay, you hockey puckers, Hully & Mo is a go for lunch and dinner. Call me a sentimental hockey fan, but I can’t believe there isn’t even a nod to Canadian food on the “American Comfort Food” menu. (The Stars could use a little Dallas comfort—they were served a little too much Buffalo last night.) I chatted with PR folks behind the press release posted below and it sounds like the Stars have already designated Hully & Mo as a hangout. Go. Eat. Crosscheck. Discuss.

Is it just me, or does that “@” look out of place in a professional press release?
Darren — the press release is about a sports bar with food that is owned by guys who play hockey. It ain’t a Rosewood property with John Tesar in the kitchen. Relax bubba.
Is it just me? Or does Mo look ok in that hat, and Romo still looks like a d-bag?
Is it just me? Or is it headache-inducing to have five televisions in a row, all tuned to the same channel?
Is it just me or does my rural Canadian education betray my ignorance of Veal & Shiitake Mushroom Meatloaf Sliders?
Canadian? Does that mean they serve gravy with the fries??
Is it me or is Daniel a douche?
PuddinT–Poutine, eh?
Looks great, can’t wait to try them sliders!!!!
french fries: good.
burger: bland.
tortilla soup: bland. and the soup is served in what seems to be more of a plate rather than a bowl. the bowl is literally no deeper than 1.5 centimeters. and that’s being like paula deen cooking with her beloved butter/lard: generous. although it might pass muster for the “cup” size, to a person that orders the “bowl,” well…unappetizing to say the least. oh, and it was served with a regular spoon. upon request of a soup spoon, i was told there were none on the premises.
no liquor license: no comment. probably a lawyer’s miscue.
bacon wrapped-shrimp with jalapeno slaw: yet another dish that was bland. the glaze on the bacon invoked thoughts of the rotund mrs. butterworth. and as for the slaw, well, maybe they had yet to receive a shipment of jalapenos…? in a word: jalapeNO.
pulled chicken sliders: ummm…can we all say manwich three times quickly? yes. and can we conclude that the buffalo chicken–yes, chicken–sliders tasted like manwich (traditionally made with ground beef)? yes. alas, i happen to love manwich…so i was not all that entirely despondent after ingesting each and every slider on the plate.
parmesan parm w/ pasta: damn you consilient whores who just made me refer to parmesan-crusted chicken as “parm.” so gay. anyway, this dish was also run-of-the-mill.
bourbon bread pudding: the dish was executed well, although the texture was a bit too wet. i’m sure someone like wade phillips would easily wade through the moisture, though. still, dampier would probably say something to the effect of, “damn–dis damp.” oh–the bourbon flavor could have been a bit more prominent.
prices: save the steaks, these might be the saving grace of mullets and hoes.
and if you managed to stay the course in this rather lengthy review, you can now mully it over. enjoy.
p.s. i apologize for the misplaced hyphen. didn’t want to create any sort of hullabaloo.
Dang, Nancy… just pull the poutine outta nowhere… and with this weather? – OK – where can we find THAT in town… like, right now…? I’m calling out Joel, Nick, Kent’s peeps, Chris… and John too, for the bar… Let’s see some fun interpretations of this comfort classic pop up this season!
Do they have Canadian on tap? The burgers can’t be worse than Swiss Chalet, the most overrated Canadian joint. Dallas could use a Tim Horton’s though, eh?
Love Tim Horton’s. Swiss Chalet is the worst. Well, maybe Harvey’s
The Brad: I think the time is ripe for you to start a poutine stand at the State Fair. Although I think it would be a creative nod if the kitchen at Hully & Mo had a couple of familiar Canadian concoctions like poutine.Sweet & sour pork with fries? Coffee and donuts?
Why would two Americans (Modano via birth in Michigan, Hull by naturalized citizenship in Minnesota) want to serve crappy Canadian food in their digs?
Look at the second picture an then go to the lower right corner. Is that old dude sharing quiet time with his daughter or is he hoping that his wife does not walk in?
Let’s call this picture, “A Man in Full.”
For the Record–I know those people and they happen to be married.
There are tons of December-March couples in Dallas and Record thinks the girl in the pic is that guy’s daughter???
Btw, fries and gravy aren’t crap! Leave off the cheese curds though.
I thought that man in the cap sitting with Hully was a cab driver stopping in for a liquid lunch …
That’s no ordinary cab driver pal — that’s none other than Mr. Dave Faries from the Observer. And that’s no liquid lunch he’s having either — over at the Observer they call it breakfast.
Gotta beg to differ on some of these food reviews.
The soup was great, and came with a soup spoon.
The BBQ shrimp wrapped in bacon are awesome.
Haven’t tried the other items commented on by Claire, but the pork cutlet is excellent!
Pork cutlet was excellent, as were the mashed potatoes and green beans that come with it. Th lemon butter sauce is a nice twist.
I have been to Hully and Mo twice recently and had a great experience both times.
The salmon is excellent.
Chicken parm is excellent.
Bread pudding is a must try — seriously!
Also, fun casual atmosphere and very reasonable prices!
Okay Mike Modano just did an ad for N9NE and now he’s opened a restaurant?
Is he needing the money that bad?
I say stick to your restaurant Mike. Too confusing.
I’m confused as to why two, well-known, wealthy athletes would invest money into a new restaraunt concept and then open the doors only to use notebook paper menus that are stapled together??? How long could it take to have custom menus printed? What a joke.
Neither Modano or Hull are investors.
Nancy, I am confused too. Mike and Brett are not financial investors in their own restaurant??
Don’t worry about the menus they have gotten better, now they look more like a real restaurant. You People still have to realize that Hully and Mo is still a new restaurant and given the time that we are in now. And the food is still getting better yea I know the Chicken slider remind me of manwichbut its still alright. and we are trying to mak , e the right meatloaf.
