1 lb shrimp
Reena G.

We went here for a late lunch. It wasn't as packed. We started off with fried pickles. These were really good and had a kick to them. Of course we came for some shrimp. We ordered two different flavors. The Blu Crab Special season was my favorite which is all the seasons combined. The garlic butter was good but I'll definitely order the Blu Crab season again. Our service was really slow and not as attentive but we had a good time. Will definitely come back for more shrimp!

Solid 3.5 to be exact. Food was alright, service was great, prices were great especially the drinks! Our server was amazing! I'd give this restaurant an extra star for the service and the restaurant decor was perfect for a seafood joint with country music playing in the background. Reminds me a bit of Nashville except we're eating seafood. Bloody Mary was good and only $4! We ordered a lb of crawfish and a lb of blue crab in hot garlic butter. Very flavorful but nothing spectacular as far as the taste and quality. Crawfish is currently out of season so it tasted as you would expect from out of season frozen crawfish. Blue Crabs were on the drier end but good. The location is very close to where we live so we'll have to come back when it's crawfish season.

Everything was excellent!! Was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was very well seasoned.

I have driven by this restaurant so many times that I just had to try it bc they boast of having actual blue crabs. The menu was the same as most other crab places I've visited, but what set it apart was an Eastcoast delicacy called Blue Crab. This east coast staple is very hard to come by as most crab places always sell snow, king, Dungeness crab legs. For the record, those of us from the east coast know we just don't eat the legs, the sweetest meat is in the body! Well I was dissatisfied and quite disappointed at the soft shell of the blue crab that served. Not only was the meat over cooked, I asked for garlic butter and all I can say is it was like someone dumped a huge can of minced garlic all over the corn, potato, and crab legs and the split blue crab. You couldn't taste any flavor at all. I had high expectations walking in. However, the concept of a crab boil from the Blue Crab was doused. I'm not sure what the chef/cook thought or how he/she was trained, but who overcooks crab? My crab puffs appetizer was way over cooked and were burnt. Best thing of the night was the mozzarella sticks appetizer. Thinking the food was going to be great, I over spent for mediocre at best seafood. Next time I'll drive all the way to Grand Prairie or Arlington to get better crab. I'll have to settle for not getting blue crabs until I can get home to Maryland!!

Ok sooo where do I start with this place. (Update: forgot to mention they do use paper straws so good for them) They are trying their best that's for sure but is it enough? The service: services was pretty good. Everyone was more then pleasant. Very kind and sweet as well as attentive for our needs. The place: I like the new change. It used to be Lin's garden or place I forget but it the new make over was much needed. However they are missing the automatic hand cleaner most crab boils have as well as my table ran out of napkins early into the meal and took a minute to get more. We had only been offered one refill the time we were there. The price at it price point we think it was pretty normal considering it is seafood and it tends to be pricy. With that being said the other "error " made me think why did I spend 70 dollars for 2 people at this place. The food : l was surprised ( not in a good way) that we were given paper plates to eat and keep our trash in. This was already troublesome as the food well over filled the 3 paper plates we were given. Once revived ( I had ordered a combo A that has crab and shrimp and lobster ( they were out if lobster) . We ordered the extra hot Louisiana seasoning. It did taste like other places but it was definitely not hot. I chalk that up to me eating lots of spicy food. First think I checked was the potatoes and shrimp to see if they were over done. It looks like they learned from past experiences cause they where just right. However everything has a weird taste to it like if it was previously frozen. I went ahead and asked and other then the blue crab everything was. For its price I expect fresh seafood. I finish the plate but not impressed with the taste. Overall: this place saving grace was the service. Without the kind people working there I would have been extremely disappointed even mad to be honest. I understand this place is new but they need to make lots of changes to maintain customers. To the owner please improve and I will be glade to review the place again. Till then though you are 6 min from my house I will not be returning. Also please get a proper paper towel dispenser for the bathroom I don't want to manually roll paper towel after washing my hands with everyone else also touching it..

It was good food. I think the fried rice was cooked in either butter or a healthier oil. Tasted really good.

Adult oriented review…read more... Having been an open and active swinger every minute of my adult life, I check out as many swingers "lifestyle" clubs as I possibly can. I love seeing how different clubs in different cities set themselves up. Plus, any excuse to meet new people and play with them is a good reason. My wife had some business things to handle via zoom in the hotel room so I went over to this club myself. I had just visited the one in New Orleans a few days earlier and was excited to check this one out. Of course, there is always the waivers, fees and check in stuff when new at any club. As a single female for the night, they definitely streamlined the process. Single, attractive women that swing are treated like royalty at swing clubs. This club was no different. Once was inside, having forgotten to bring anything to drink, as this club was byob, I found myself alcohol deficient. I had to barter for drinks and had fun making trades. If you get my meaning. I found this club fun, clean and had plenty of attractive, fun and play minded men and women. The staff were all pleasant and I saw nobody pushing nor violating the rules. There was a good mix of ages from mid twenties to people in their sixties. Nobody pressured me nor made me feel uncomfortable in any way. I found four like minded women and really enjoyed their company. I only stayed for about three hours but I really enjoyed it. If I lived in the Dallas area, I'd certainly be a member and spend my Saturday nights there. If swinging is your thing or you just like to watch and enjoy the vibe, this club is for you.

Just a wonderful place and good time. Me and my wife had the best time and will be back soon.read more

While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (5 Stars if you only care about service) Atmosphere - It's pretty electric. There is a large bar in the middle, tons of bar seating, and during my Thursday visit for lunch, it was packed. The vibes are good, and tons of TVs are showing sports. If you have an XY chromosome, this is your place. 1 Star. Service - Rowdy Cowboy is known for having great servers who are very friendly (and nice to look at). All tables were taken, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were fast, efficient, and very friendly. They got my order wrong, but I don't care. Their friendliness made me not care. 1 Star. Food - Look, if you're here, you're not here for the food. I started with the Steak Frites. The steak was super tender but lacked seasoning. The shoestring fries were awesome and made the perfect pairing to the steak. I ordered the Brisket Sliders but ended up with Wagyu Sliders. I didn't mind because our bartenders were so friendly, but the sliders were just ok. Remember, this place is not known for the food. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Rowdy Cowboy knows exactly what it does well, and believe me it does it well. In fact, out of all the restaurants in this genre, Rowdy Cowboy has the friendliest staff. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.

El Viejon - Camarones en salsa verde

(English down below)…read more Saliendo del aeropuerto DFW, busqué algún restaurante que tuviera sopa de mariscos; no sé de dónde vino el antojo. Entre varias opciones apareció El Viejón. Revisé el menú en línea y las reseñas, y manejé 13 minutos para encontrarme con una verdadera maravilla. Lo que me encantó: La atención fue excelente. Nos atendió Nidia, quien no solo es muy amable, sino también servicial y eficiente. Adolfo, el gerente, es un tipazo. Lo simple pero importante: Sus vasos de plástico, tan originales. La sencillez y el humor del menú. Los precios son justos para la cantidad que sirven. Lo que me dejó impresionado: La sopa de mariscos. Este tipo de sopas es sencillo: o la sabes hacer o no. Si no, termina siendo como la de Pappadeaux--para llorar. Esta sopa, en cambio, tiene mariscos abundantes (cangrejo, almeja, pulpo, pescado, camarón, calamar, etc.). El sabor es ligeramente dulce y cada nota se distingue con claridad. Muy recomendada. Una sola sopa es más que suficiente para una persona. Esto último lo aprendí demasiado tarde, después de haber pedido también el pulpo a la plancha, que terminé llevando para casa porque era demasiada comida. Mis únicas dos quejas: Las tostadas que ofrecen vienen con un pollo que parece atún, pero sabe a plástico. Mi perrito iba conmigo y ni siquiera él quiso comérselo, lo cual dice mucho. Algo raro ahí. La otra es la música: demasiado fuerte y del mismo género. Si el objetivo es honrar la cultura mexicana, hay muchísimos géneros entre los cuales escoger. Digo yo... no sé. Mejorar estos dos detalles llevaría la experiencia en El Viejón a otro nivel. ¡El Viejón, recomendadísimo! ------------------------------------- Leaving DFW airport, I found myself craving seafood soup--no idea where the craving came from. I searched for nearby options and El Viejón came up. I checked the online menu and reviews, then drove 13 minutes, only to discover a real gem. What I loved: The service was excellent. Nidia took care of us--she was not only kind, but also attentive and efficient. Adolfo, the manager, is a great guy. The simple but important things: Their plastic cups are surprisingly original. The menu is simple and humorous. Prices are fair for the generous portions they serve. What truly impressed me: The seafood soup. This kind of soup is simple: either you know how to make it, or you don't--and when you don't, it ends up like the one at Pappadeaux... something to cry about. This one, however, is loaded with seafood (crab, clams, octopus, fish, shrimp, squid, etc.). It has a subtle sweetness, and you can taste every distinct note. Highly recommended. One soup is more than enough for one person. I learned that lesson too late--after also ordering the grilled octopus. I had to get it to go because it was simply too much food. My only two complaints: The tostadas they serve come with chicken that looks like tuna but tastes like plastic. My dog was with me and wouldn't even eat it--which says a lot. Very strange. The other issue is the music: too loud and all from the same genre. If the goal is to honor Mexican culture, there are so many genres to choose from. Just saying--I don't know. Fixing these two things would take the experience at El Viejón to another level. El Viejón--highly recommended.

A second, dine-in visit provided more reasons NOT to return than to return:…read more - Prices for most things are far too high when considering location and ambiance--I mean we're not talking "fine dining". - Margarita prices are very vague and I was passed a "tequila menu" to choose from. Confused, I chose one of the cheaper options only to find out after getting bill that my margarita was $18.95! Is this Via Real?!? If so, take some lessons from them on how to make a quality margarita since this one was not $18.95 material. - 3% service charge over posted prices for using a credit card. Didn't realize that on last visit. You do that, you're telling me you never want me to return. Food was good. Just not THAT good. I will say that the entree I received was large enough for 2, which would have made the $27.50 more reasonable. But if that's the intent, mention it on the menu. But I'm not sharing a nearly $25 margarita (after tax, tip and service charge).

It just feels very manufactured. The menu is varied. If you've read my reviews before, you know that I'm a Texa-fornian, so there are a lot of places in Texas that don't suit my palate (or my waist line.) I was easily able to find a couple of things that I would have enjoyed. Based solely on the calorie count, I picked the salmon with cauliflower rice. It was a little oily, but it was good. I cleaned the plate. It's dark inside, like a steakhouse. Not for me, but if that's your thing, you would be happy. It's clean the food's fresh and if you're a drinker, there is a lot of beer.

They're known for massively tall "yard" servings of beer, though I didn't see anyone trying one on my lunchtime visit. They do have a good 4 pages of beers on the menu! The place has high ceilings with exposed pipes lending an industrial vibe. The menu helpfully marks vegetarian options as well as lower calorie choices. I was impressed to see power outlets along the purse hooks below the bar - if you wanted to bring a laptop and catch up on work emails, it'd be possible. Our waitress was business-like and a little unfriendly, and service was terribly slow. The food was good. Free refills on our drinks flowed freely. I tried a veggie burger which was a bit spicy and oaty. I wish I'd tried a salad! Still, I appreciated that they worked with me on reserving tables for a large group all with separate checks.
