Well, talk about a hidden gem. I had this place bookmarked but could not tell you where I heard…read moreabout it. It is basically a little luncheon oasis dropped right in the middle of a gigantic industrial park. On the drive over I was seriously questioning my Yelp choices. It is that kind of location. But trust Yelp and sometimes you are handily rewarded, which we absolutely were. We came after a few hours strolling around at the Botanical Gardens, so we rolled in around 1:30 and there were still plenty of people there. I can only imagine at noon this place is packed, and honestly it should be. My biggest complaint is the menus. There is one above the counter that does not include everything, and then a different, more complete version if you scan the QR code at the table (But 2 different navigations even on the website with slightly different menus). Do yourself a favor and look it up ahead of time so you are not standing there making panic decisions. There is a half sandwich and half soup combo (Not on the board but online menu), which is definitely the move. I got the pozole, which you should absolutely order, and a half grilled cheese on their housemate sourdough. Normally not my go to, but I was trying not to be completely stuffed since we had dinner plans. And they bake their own sourdough, so I had a strong feeling it would be great, and it delivered. Toasty and melty, American and cheddar. My husband got the southwestern wrap, and my friend went with the half club and half tomato soup. She immediately regretted not getting the pozole and the half birria sandwich, which tells you everything you need to know. Also need to mention the snickerdoodle. Not much to look at, kind of humble, but it completely makes up for it with flavor and that perfect soft texture. Go ahead and get the cookie. You are not here to make responsible decisions. Bottom line, it may feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep going. This place is worth it.

Their hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and I definitely should not have cut it that close. Even so, Larry--who I believe is the owner--treated me like a long-lost brother. He never made me feel rushed or unwelcome and took excellent care of me. I ordered the Club Salad, and it was so good my mouth is watering just thinking about it. This was my very first visit and my first time even knowing this place existed, but Larry is my guy now. Outstanding food, outstanding service, and easily the best deli in Texas.

From what I recall, all of their matchas are made with oat milk. I'm not sure if that's necessarily a good thing. My classic matcha latte was just okay but I want to give their iced coffees a try.

Oh my!…read more I rarely find myself in the Garland area, so when I began taking some pilates classes nearby, I knew I needed to find all the cute local gems! Cafe Frida being one of them! Not only is this cafe so cozy and comfortable, there is plenty of space to sit! It would absolutely be perfect for anyone looking for a good working from home location as they also have plenty of outlets! And the service! Oh my, the girls at the front have been so sweet and kind! They often make conversation while also helping choose the best options on the menu! Now for the good stuff! The Menu! I have yet to try any of their food options, but I have had a chance to try both their iced and hot lattes! I can confidently say that Cafe Frida knows what they are doing when it comes to a good cup of caffeine! Sometimes, especially when ordering something with a bit more sweetness, coffee or espresso can lose it's taste, and as someone who craves the taste of coffee and espresso, Cafe Frida def makes sure all flavors are balanced! I just love when a coffee isn't overtaken by so many different flavors! I already cannot wait to go back! I attend pilates on Wednesday's, so they will def be seeing me again!

The brightly painted walls are adorned with college flags of Texas... we didn't spot a Texas A&M one, but certainly wont ding any points for that. LOL While the prices may seem steep- the portions are big! 4 adults were able to split 2 large cheesesteaks and still have enough to take home. 2 large cheesesteak combos (fries and a drink) with 2 additional drinks was roughly $45.00... but very much worth it!

It has a nice bakery/cafe ambience with multiple tables to dine in and a case of baked goods to choose from you can see when you get closer to the registers. The staff was nice and friendly and we didn't wait long for our order. We ordered a jalapeño cheese quiche, strawberry and blueberry scone, and a cupcake. The quiche came warmed out and had good flavor, just wanted the crust to have a little more crunch. Those scones though are the best I've had hands down, so good we went back the next day lol. I also had a piece of cinnamon bread which was also good. We will definitely be back to try more and recommend visiting if you are in the area.

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!

For the first time in a public restaurant, I was "catcalled" by one of the employees. and apparently, according to my partner, they were all laughing about it as I walked away to sit down at a table. I was unaware that I was being cat called into my partner, noticed that they were making comments about me to his face, and it made my partner very uncomfortable. I just don't know why my partner didn't call them out for their creepy behavior. I'm appalled and disgusted that this has happened. We were there to only eat dinner not to be "catcalled" in degraded.

That's my go to if I'm ever checking out a BBQ place. It was about $8 which several of the items were. It can get pricey ordering several items but nonetheless the price is the price. The seasoning is definitely one of the high points for this business, it might be dangerous to people with high blood pressure or blood sugar, but overall it was different. Seasoning the buns is something many BBQ places don't do. The meat was fresh and cooked well, the only setback was that this meal took about 20 minutes to cook. I was able to walk to the nearby gas station, come back and still wait about 10 minutes. It all tasted great though, definitely come and support them if you catch them around town!
