My visit (which was also my first visit) was a last minute decision in downtown Van Alstyne. I…read morehave never been here and really didn't expect much. I really was taken aback. This spot is really small. I would hesitate to call it a dive bar but that is close to what it is. I stopped by here on a Friday at 2:00 p.m. It was packed! I was welcomed (and greeted!) as soon as I entered from the bartender. I was able to find the only barstool open at the bar. The bartender (I wish I knew her name) was all over me despite it being busy and she served me promptly. I then placed an order to go. The atmosphere is deep Texas. I got the impresssion that most of the regulars are locals. I am not local (I do live one town over) but I was right at home! I didn't take a photo of the menu but it is typical bar food...burgers, hot dogs, etc... I ordered my food to go which was Fish and Chips and Jalapeno Bottle Caps. I enjoyed the food but was especially impressed with the level of service and the friendly customers.

We both got the Locomotive burgers. I got O Rings and the wife got fries. Quite possibly the best burger I've ever had. Fries were seasoned perfectly and the rings were top notch. We don't drink so I can't review the beers but they appear to have quite a selection.

Listen, this is a great little bar close to downtown. The owners are nice, bartenders are great and…read moreyou can make some wonderful friends. Not much different from any other bar. The karaoke guy is also a very nice gentleman. The stars go down because the karaoke guy will move you down on the list and let other people get pushed in front. I get wanting variety, but some people can't stay. I don't sing! Ha! But my crew does. We get there early, they stick their songs in knowing we are leaving in a couple of hours. We stayed late because my friends came out of town to see me. They kept putting more and more people in front of my friends, we left at midnight with oily one of my friends singing one song. She put in 3 songs.. Anyway, it's a bad practice, you never know where people are at and what's going on, so to skip them is pretty disrespectful. Also they never start the karaoke at 8 as advertised. It's whenever the guy wants to start it.

I love this bar with my entire soul. I'm here every week just for the vibes and music. Not only is…read morethe staff great, but the regulars are also so fun to be around. I don't usually drink because I drive my group here, and I have never felt like I was being annoying or obnoxious for asking the bartenders for water several times a night. The few times I have had drinks here, they were solid. Nothing super interesting or craft, but I don't want that at this bar-- beer and frozen margaritas are definitely the move, and they do those well. I love love love love this establishment. I would give Rendezvous 6 stars if I could.

I visited Rendezvous in Sherman on Thursday and, unfortunately, had a very uncomfortable…read moreexperience. I was the only Hispanic person at the bar, and the bartender, Kayla, treated me noticeably differently than the white guests around us. She was cold, dismissive, and barely acknowledged me, while offering warm, friendly service to others. A friend of mine, who is also Hispanic, received the same dismissive treatment. In contrast, our white friends were served with smiles, conversation, and full attention. The difference in service felt too obvious to ignore--and it felt racially motivated. What's even more concerning is that after sharing my experience with a few of Kayla's coworkers, they admitted this isn't the first time she's provided less-than-stellar service. That kind of behavior, especially when it appears to follow a pattern, shouldn't be tolerated in any professional environment. I truly hope the management at Rendezvous takes this seriously. Every guest deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their race or background.

I had high hopes for the Rock Yard. Just off the highway and directly on my path to this area of…read moreTexas,there aren't many opportunities to "eat out" at decent restaurants. The Rock Yard popped up at this increasingly busy intersection of two small country highways. After a day of kicking around on the ranch,my grandson and I were hungry. So,I decided now was the perfect time to try Rock Yard. I'm not going to spend too much time on this review as I don't believe they earned it. My experience was less than rewarding for one primary and I consider mortal sin,pre-cooked hamburger patty. Our food was brought out way too fast after ordering to have been cooked from scratch. Not sure why anyone building a customer base would take this approach. We both finished our burgers. We ordered the Hangover Cure consisting of a substantial patty,bacon,over easy egg( also seemed precooked) and a small container of queso. I will probably return and give them a second chance. They have a dedicated pizza oven and it would be nice to pick one up on the way to the farm sometime. Till then,I'll be disappointed in the average burger that could have been great

The outside is perfect for watching the game and have little ones run around with room to spare. The food was really great. We had the filet, burger, and bread with cheese for the appetizer. It was all so appetizing. The double patty burger I got said each patty was 4oz...I told the waitress "no way this is a 4oz patty (it looks much bigger)" [see picture]. It was really good though regardless. The filet was extremely tender and the peppercorn sauce that accompanied it with the asparagus was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive and cordial. She had great recommendations and knew the menu well. I'll definitely come back again soon. If there's one restaurant that embodies Celina this is it.
