    Forbidden chicken
    Yuri G.

    I cant believe we took so long to visit this place in our neighborhood! I am so glad we visited this past weekend. Service was excellent. The covered patio also looked inviting, but not in August Texas weather. The waiter and other staff checked on us frequently. We did try the "healthier" items but there were very good and cannot wait to go back to try their fried items!

    Barnyard Salad with tasteless Guajillo Ranch

    Bricks & Bones? I expected ribs, burgers, bricks? It is only chicken. Super cute atmosphere with outdoor tables and games for the kiddos. Service started extremely friendly but then they forgot we were on the patio. Once they remembered, it was very good. The bad, food comes in takeout containers with plastic cups and forks. Unfortunately, it doesn't taste good either. I had the Barnyard Salad, no flavor at all. The rotisserie chicken was reheated on a flat ground and was dried out shreds. $12ish. My hubs had the 3 piece house special chicken, waay overcooked in grease that needed to be filtered or changed. $11 with no sides. If you are serving fast food, the price needs to reflect that. Please see pics.

    Took myself to dinner. Really cute place. There's ample seating outside in the yard and on the patio. The place is dimly light really romantic but yet casual. Loved the aesthetics . There was live music. A man playing guitar singing country music. My server was Isaac, he was a doll. He provided amazing service. There was also a lady I imagine is a manager she was also the bomb. I had two bourbon cocktails. They must have a real mixologist because the drinks were pretty, well balanced, tastes great, and delivered on the spirit lol. The chicken was really juicy, loved the skin. It's served with hot sauce, lime, cilantro (all these were a good accompaniment) I also had their bowl. It was extremely filling. You will definitely have a take away. Lastly I took home their crème strawberry dessert. You can't miss with that combination. There were other things on the menu that sounded interesting I will be back to try.

    First time here and we'll definitely be back. The covered patio area is super chill -- lots of natural light, TVs for the game, and a nice breeze with the open sides. It's a great setup whether you're just grabbing lunch or hanging out for a while. I had the chicken and waffles and they were amazing. Perfectly crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and the house-made hot sauce added the right amount of kick without being overwhelming. My wife got the Backyard Salad and really liked it -- super fresh and the rotisserie chicken was really flavorful. Not sure what the dressing was, but it worked! Service was friendly, and we felt relaxed the whole time. Just a solid spot all around. Brick & Bones gets a perfect rating from us.

    Mexican Corn

    All of the service staff were friendly and engaging. Everyone seemed to be vibing positively. I randomly ordered the Chicken & Waffles along with a side of beans and a side of Mexican corn. My friend ordered the Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich The portion sizes for our entrees were really large. One might say they would definitely be shareable. I highly recommend the Chickek and Waffles. Maybe syrup on the side to avoid any late-meal sog, although it was delicious sogginess all the same. Mexican Corn was very refreshing. I didn't like the beer-like flavor of the beans personally. The Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich was cut in half and was so large that it was nearly like two full-size sandwiches. They had little wagon-wheel shaped chips that were like bland, flavorless puffs. The ambiance was dark with dim lighting. It looked like the place had a bottom and upper level separated by staircase. There was an outdoor seating area with a patio. Parking is really tight in the rear. Altogether about $50 for two. Really enjoyed the Chicken and Waffles.

    Sexy chicken and the Chimichurri chicken sandwich were pretty good. The service was great and quick. Ambiance was quaint and cozy. Good atmosphere and great beer selection. Definitely worth trying them out! I think this will be a great spot to stop and have a couple beers and hang out on the patio.

    Amazing food every single time!!! Today I got to try the chimichurri chicken sandwich and it was absolutely perfect. The waiter even recommended subbing the pinwheel crisps for the fries and getting extra chimichurri to dip them in. It was a great suggestion. I absolutely love the ambiance and the entire vibe this place gives off. The service has always been top notch every time I've been. I can't recommend Brick & Bones Backyard enough.

    Hot chicken, chimichurri chicken sandwich, poblano mash potatoes, habanero bacon mac

    Hidden gem in Rowlett!!! Didn't even know this spot had popped up here but I'm glad it did because the food is so freaking good! I got the hot chicken, chimichurri chicken sandwich, poblano mash potatoes, habanero bacon mac, and Mexican corn. Yes, this was a lot of food for 2 people and no, we didn't finish it all. But no regrets! Everything was pretty good! The hot chicken was not spicy, but it did have some nice seasoning. The chimichurri sandwich was my personal (main dish) favorite. The mashed potatoes was good, just a little bland. They pair well with the meal though. The Mac and cheese was good, but the Mexican corn was the star. So delicious and vibrant!

    Service was excellent. They sat us right away on the second floor. Ambiance and lighting is cozy. Food was good. It is missing more sauce options as it can be a bit bland. All drinks (except cocktails) come in cans, no fountain drinks. Will give them a try again.

    Amazing food and really cute place. Decently priced for what you get. Can be loud in outside seating during traffic hours.

    A week later and I am still thinking about the delicious food and fantastic service! We didn't wait…read moresuper long for a table and the hosts were great. We took my dad to dinner and he complained that it was a little loud, but felt like we sat right under a speaker. I explained to him that it was part of the "vibe". Other than the volume making it difficult to hear, everything was fantastic. We probably could have asked to sit on the heated patio. The chips were warm and fresh and came with both red and green salsa, and both were super tasty. My husband asked if I could make salsa like that at home! We ordered drinks and they came quickly. I appreciated the quality of the drinks especially since we mostly ordered from their drink menu. We ordered "The Good Guac" to start and our server made sure that it wasn't too spicy or anything for my dad. I thought that was very thoughtful that she asked if how it came was ok. For food we ordered street tacos, Baja fish tacos and the parillada en fuego. The food runner seemed confused and brought us another dish (maybe the Verde molcajete) but with the loud music the message that we didn't order it was lost in translation. My husband thought maybe it was what he ordered and started in. Because our server came to check on us so quickly, she caught the mistake right away. She apologized profusely and said they were bringing what we ordered. They allowed us to keep the dish, and no sooner did we have a few bites of the deliciousness the correct food came out. They checked on us quickly, apologized profusely, brought the correct food immediately, let us keep the other food, sent another manager to apologize and finally followed up with coupons to return after making sure we were satisfied with how they handled it. I understand humans make mistakes, so I feel like the recovery or response is what is important. This is the type of amazing service that will keep us coming back. We were actually happy with the mistake as we were able to try another dish we likely wouldn't have ordered (but ended up being our favorite thing to eat). The ambiance was fun, parking was easy, the wait was reasonable, the service was FANTASTIC, the food was delicious and food/drinks were made with quality ingredients. We'll be back!

    I've got a mixed review of Vidorra. At the end of the day, I don't think I'll be going back but…read morethat doesn't mean it was all bad. First, the good. Well, the good was definitely the chips and salsa. The chips were lightly dusted with some seasoning. I didn't take the time to figure out what it was, but it gave them a nice kick. So subtle but so significant. Unfortunately, my experience kind of dipped from there. Service was slow and a bit inattentive. I got the Molcajete parrillada en fuego. The literal translation is mortar grilled over fire. I should have asked what that meant because most Molcajete dishes are heated over fire. What it means at Vidorra is cook the meat, drop a hot coal in the mortar and put the cooked meat with a little mole on a grill screen over the mortar. It's basically a fajita dish served on top of the mortar bowl. However, it doesn't stay warm. Needless to say, I was disappointed. That said, the verde Molcajete that someone else got looked as expected. No one else (there were six of us) raved about their food. So, I'm in no rush to head back.

    Some random night we were on Facebook and decided to book tickets to see Troy Ramey perform. Did we…read moreknow who that was? No. But we thiught why not. A. He is fabulous. Let's just say that. Since we were going to the show, why not go for dinner? I mean we have never been. Love that you can book reservations online. Super easy to get through the gate and it has amazing views. We were greeted by the host who was so kind. The place was super busy, I assume due to the show. So, we had to wait about 10 minutes. Table right in the middle of action... 1 min... 2 min... 7 minutes no greeting nothing and a woman walks by and says she will be right us. Cool. Thanks for letting us know. Walks past us 4 more times and nothing. The good thing is clearly someone else noticed and brought us water and said she was helping while the server got caught up. Okay. Everything will be OK. Whole ordering our drinks the server took over. Ordered drinks. App and 2 entrees. Then she was gone. 30 minutes after seating... nothing. Not even drinks yet. 32 minutes... she brings my husband's can of beer. No glass. No manhatten. She says they are working on mine. After 32 minutes (at least 20 minutes after ordering our drink)... can we have a glass? 5+ minutes later she brings me my manhattan... in a wine glass? Before I smell it I ask if its a manhattan because it looked like wine (damn good pour). Her response... I don't know. Never had one before. And still no glass. A. The Manhattan was fabulous and a ridiculously amazing pour. And for the cost... damn. Thats amazing. We decided she never rang in our drinks. Its the only thing that makes sense. It had really quieted down and the bartenders were working hard. And thats fine. But own it. Another 40 minutes and she stopped by once. Said our food was coming. But honestly haven't had a server who seemed to care less about her table in quite a while. Food came about 45 minutes after ordering. We ordered the Philly egg rolls... flavor was awesome. But they were cold. Clearly they had been sitting... for a while. Literally the cheese had melted onto each other and cooled. The entrees came at the same time. Smash burger and chicken fried chicken. Both honestly really good. The mashed potatoes were cold though... not sure if its because they werent kept warm in the prep station or if our plates just died waiting on server. Flavors were good though, including the gravy and fries. Good seasoning. We asked for ranch. Can you believe she never brought it? Nope us either. Seriously. The service was the worst we had in a while. It seemed exlusive to our table/server. I finally got her name at the end... Leandra. I am not trying to put her on blast everyone has a bad night. When my husband asked about the ranch. She said oh I forgot that too.. no apologies for that or the entire night. I said well it has been a rough night... she said yep. Here's the check. We are super nice... lots of grace... but this service made me almost want to not return. But... this is a small business trying to create something for our community. So im going to return oncs more and score is based on potential. But please owners.... staff is hard to come by, and maybe it was a rough night... but no one will survive if 30 minutes with not even drinks and cold food is acceptable. Its a beautiful space, flavorful food and great energy im very hopeful.

    Excellent brunch menu and ok service. Plates came dirty at first then my son got it right. It's ok…read moreplace, could have been the best brunch in Rockwall. Needs lots of effort.
