The staff is always friendly and pleasant, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here. There are plenty of seating options: a cozy bar area, three separate dining rooms, a large patio with its own bar, and even picnic tables out back. I think the upstairs may be reserved for private events. Every time I visit, I end up ordering the same thing because it's just that good--the Naked Chicken three-piece. Absolutely delicious! I'm also glad they now offer two sides with your entrée for a small extra charge. The mac & cheese and green beans are both amazing. I've tried a cocktail or two, but usually skip them since the portions are small for the price. Overall, this is such a fun, charming spot with consistently great food. Definitely one of my go-to favorites! Add it to the Love List

Who would have thought the historic Oliver house in Rowlett would be transformed into a…read moreMexican-Inspired Fried Chicken spot? Not me! Brick and Bones Backyard is a blue house on the corner of Main St. in Rowlett, Tx, that has been transformed into something magical. This Mexican-Inspired "chicken shop" is offering fried & rotisserie chicken, classic cocktails, and live music in a rustic setting. The menu is diverse and offering all things chicken that is brined 24 hours, fried and can be order breaded or naked( for the gluten-free in you). They also have rotisserie chicken, tenders, sandwiches, salads, bowls and wings, along with unique sides. Poblano mashed potatoes, habanero mac n cheese, mexican corn, etc... often garnished with fresh radish and cilantro around out the menu, with top notch service to boot. Mi marido ordered the breaded fried chicken, mexican corn and poblano mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken was well seasoned with a great crunch. The potatoes had good flavor, but were barely warm. I can imagine their greatness heated. The mexican corn on the other hand was the real elote deal! The fresh snap of sweet corn, dosed with cotija cheese and spices lives up to the hype! Sweet, spicy, savory, it hit all the flavor profiles. I had the naked chicken with an order crinkle fries(faves) which was greatly appreciated for it's gluten-freeness and flavor. However, it was abit overcooked. Which left it thready and a little dry. The sauce that accompanied it, was needed, but shouldn't have been, while the fries were fresh, but undercooked. The concept and flavors make Brick & Bone standout on the chicken front. Better execution can make it a cut above the rest. Check It Out!

New Customer.... My…read morehusband went inside to place a togo order... He was greeted; and told that someone would be right with him... (simply being acknowledged is so important). The restaurant was not busy at all, but it was clean and inviting. A full menu, with a lot of goodness to offer... it was nice to see bang-bang shrimp on the menu; along with a little something for everyone! He ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries; which he said was very flavorful and he would definitely order it again! For me, he ordered the smash-burger with fries and extra pickles. The Smashburger patties were surprisingly thick, but really delicious! I was disappointed that they did not give me the tomato with the lettuce (which was completely wilted and not edible); but that didn't stop me from eating the burger, lol. Thank you for the extra pickles... maybe they should be "placed" vs a "pile of pickles". The fries were delicious! We will definitely return, there's so much on the menu that's worth ordering!

The bar is lit in a way that makes you want to stay and chat. The only thing lovelier than the bartenders (that have been the same for years) was the loveliest companion that accompanied me most recently, and held such a wonderful conversation. There is a lot to the atmosphere here, both inside and outside, with the inside feeling like an intimate event, and the patio being a party starter. They often have live acoustic music outside, but it isn't brash or overwhelming. Usually one person and a guitar with a small amp. Nothing crazy. I haven't had pizza in one million years, but if I were going to break the streak it would be here. It's got a real artisan feel and taste that can't be beat. If you dine in, I recall they had the bread strips they bring out - GREAT stuff. If you aren't sure what to get, go for that Texas Mule. Tito's...Ginger Beer... need I say more? If you live here and haven't been here - you are missing out. If you are passing through, stop in. It's a "go-to" for me the two times I am in Plano each year. I might have to simply go visit again just for the experience and company.

Left without food... and still hungry…read more We waited over 50 minutes during our lunch break for food that never arrived. About 45 minutes after ordering, we asked if we could just get it to-go since we needed to get back to work. We waited a little longer, asked again how much longer it would be, and were told the kitchen was backed up. At that point, we let them know we had to leave. I understand restaurants get busy, but nearly an hour for a chicken sandwich during lunch is unreasonable. If you're on a lunch break with limited time, I wouldn't recommend this as a lunch spot.

You do get two potatoes, but I want the protein, not the carbs lol Service is always good efficient waiters and waitresses and the ambience is a bit upscale but also like a sports bar. It's a very pretty place a nice atmosphere and a great place to hang out and relax.

Wow. So much wrong, mostly due to the server who clearly was not having his best night. Took our…read moreorder, repeated it back, and still got it wrong. And my biggest pet peeve: entrees AND appetizers came out at the SAME time. Other tables around us got their service in the right order, so... was it us? A table seated after us got their appetizers within 5-10 minutes. Then their mains. Just really shoddy service I'm sad to say. And whatever you do, do NOT order the Spinach Artichoke dip... so runny, watery... probably straight from the microwave. Absolutely inedible. But hey, the view overlooking the lake was nice! UPDATE: To be fair, they did comp us a desert to go, so there's that.

My friend had the watermelon pineapple margarita and it was delicious! For snacks , we shared the popcorn shrimp and fried pickles ! The pickles were a little thin for me but had great flavor!

Parliament posted their rainy-day happy hour on Instagram the same day I visited, so I was…read moresurprised when the tall bartender with glasses told me the special only applied if it was actively raining at that exact moment. He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.

I'm fairly certain I've submitted a review for Goldies in the past. But just in case, Its our new…read morefavorite spot. We discovered Goldies last fall, we were looking for a new place to eat. We were huge fans of Meddlesome Moth(which had closed a few months prior). The beer list didn't excite me(I'm a beer snob) but the bar vibe and the great staff quickly made me forget about that. We eat there twice a month now and when we don't get in on a regular schedule, we really miss it. I'm a huge fan of the steak frites and my wife loves the weekly pasta dishes which never disappoint. The cocktails are great and they're made by the friendliest barkeeps in town(Matt, Christine) Christopher keeps the place flowing and Brittani(owner) is great and always welcoming. The overall vibe is comfy and totally unpretentious. Goldies is a hidden gem but has quickly become a popular spot. Great spots like this don't stay hidden very long. Highly recommended! Carter L

Highlights: Beautiful and intimate space wonderful for a date or a small party. The service is…read moreoutstanding and the drinks and appetizers are fantastic. The Cevichos alone are worth a visit. We'll definitely be coming back! We decided to head to Lower Greenville as part of a night out and decided on Apothecary. We made a reservation for 8.45pm and the place was busy but not packed. The space is beautiful, dimly-lit, and intimate with couches or small tables. We were seated at one of the small tables and both decided to sit on the couch side of the table. Most couples were doing the same and the tables were spread out enough so that we all felt we had enough space. We started with two drinks (Private Barrel Old Fashioned and French Kissing) and two appetizers (Oysters and the Cevichos) . The drinks came out with the Oysters. The Old Fashioned was solid; the French Kissing was a beautiful drink and delicious. The Oysters were served with a touch of salsa, and they were excellent. We ordered a second round of drinks (the Loch'D Inn and another French Kissing) and they arrived with the Cevichos. I'm not a huge fan of scotch, but the Loch'D Inn was very good, with the sweet foam on the drink being fantastic (when my date went to the restroom, I tried to get more of it with my fork it was that good... I really needed a spoon ). Now to the Cevichos, which were the highlight of the night. They were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, and I will come back just for those. They were savory while also having a nice citrus flavor... just delicious. The only downside is that you have to eat them somewhat quickly as the chips on the bottom will get soggy if left too long. We closed the night with the Japanese Elotes and a Pekin Tom cocktail, both of which were delicious. The Elotes had so much flavor. Regarding the Pekin Tom, I appreciate that the smoke had a light flavor as the smoke in so many smoked cocktails overpowers the drink itself. That was not the case here -- really well done. The service is also top notch. Our server came by often, but never interrupted while we were deep in conversation. Another gentleman also checked on us twice. I don't know with certainty but I think he was either the manager or the bartender. He always asked about the drinks and made excellent recommendations.

We have now been to both sides of apothecary and we love it. I love that you can make reservations…read moreonline, which is really probably necessary bcause both sides are relatively small. Our first time we went to alchemy, the service and drinks were great. We even got a couple apps for happy hour. The pics are from that visiti. Our second time we went to archive, which has a more traditional feel. And quite a bit later, and probably a better conversation area. How drinks have some classic? But there's definitely some unique ones. We tried a hot dog water, which is not for everybody. And probably not for us but love that they are getting adventurous. We also had a recommendation from the server for a drink that tasted like pozole... I would have never picked that, but it was delicious. Highly recommend for drinks.
