The Elephant Bar is a small restaurant chain in the US with headquarters located in Dallas, Texas. It operates as a scratch kitchen which means that every meal here is made from basic ingredients. They do not serve anything from ready-made food items right down to the sauces. If you like your meals fresh and hot, then this is the right place to visit. This dedication to quality has made it a hit, especially in the West Coast where most of the branches are now located. The safari theme is not just evident in the name but also in the interior décor. However, the real star of the show is the Elephant Bar menu.
