First time to have dinner here yesterday and it was a great experience. We went early and there…read morewere only a couple of other parties dining, which made it nice and NOT loud - a problem we often encounter in restaurants. We were greeted by a friendly young man who seemed to be filling both roles as host and waiter. So many menu items sounded wonderful that it was hard to make a choice. We started with the charcuterie board and escargot. The former was large but my husband would have probably preferred more cheese and meat. There was a huge clump of red grapes, which were plump and juicy and just the right sweetness that I enjoyed. My escargot was good - not the best I've had but enjoyable. The puffy bread that came with it was, however, to die for. Entrees: my husband got the coq au vin and said it was very good. The portion wasn't big but hey, it's a French restaurant. I ordered two sides as my main dish: the lobster risotto, which was delicious, and the sweet potato fries. Those were some of the best I've had. I also asked for some ranch dressing instead of ketchup with the fries and the waiter said it was homemade. It was thick and creamy and definitely not like the typical bottled dressing. For dessert, I had the Irish coffee and it was very good. The recipe was a little different from most: Bailey's, Kahlua, Tia Maria, and Frangelico. Everything tasted good, service was good, especially considering there was only one waiter in evidence, prices were comparable to other similar restaurants, and we will almost certainly be back again to try some of the other things on the menu. If you're used to huge American style portions and hurried service, you might be disappointed, but if you're used to European style slower, more relaxed dining and smaller portions that don't leave you feeling stuffed to the gills, you'll love it.

Okay... can we talk about Belle Vie Bistro for a minute?…read more The breakfast is amazing, the coffee is so good, and the atmosphere just makes you want to sit and enjoy your morning instead of rushing out the door. Needless to say... I'll be back. A lot.

Joe Willy's was one of the first burger places recommended to us to check out in Rockwall, and I'm so glad we've gone and we've become pretty regular customers. It's a family friendly restaurant, nothing fancy, but that's perfect!! The burgers are consistent and delicious and I love the flavor of the onion rings. We have also tried philly cheesesteak, fries and milkshakes. Employees are also always super friendly!! I highly recommend Joe Willy's read more

I ordered the Hubbard's omelette with ham, mushrooms and swiss cheese. For my sides I had the pan fried potatoes (home fries) and buttered toast. I had their coffee as my choice of beverage. The omelette was delicious and gigantic! I did not expect it to be this large. It was stuffed with ingredients and quite fluffy. The pan fries were cooked perfectly. Added some salt and pepper and ketchup and they were great. The toast was toasted just right and they put plenty of butter on the bread. It was melted and gave the bread a nice buttery flavor. The coffee was good and the refills came quick and often. I am not a fan of strong coffee so what they serve was perfect. Our server was very nice and checked on us every so often to make sure we were doing good. Never had to ask for anything and as I said before, the coffee refills came quickly. I've seem some reviews of this restaurant looking old and outdated, but I think that's part of their charm. If you want to look at bright new surroundings then go to IHOP.

It is a diner style kitchen with a small dining area, attached to a disc golf course, in the middle of nowhere. My wife and I walked in on a Sunday around 12:40 and the staff was cleaning up a spill. We were greeted warmly and they apologized for the mess. We ordered the fried pickles, spicy chicken sandwich and a classic burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was probably one of the top burgers I've had in this area. The fried pickle spears were also delicious. The sweet potato fries were more like wedges and were also very good. The chicken sandwich was good, but wouldn't order it again over a burger. They did offer homemade jalapeno ranch dip with the meal. It was also pretty good. The environment is farmhouse on a ranch. Beautiful ponds set up for fishing. Covered eating areas. Again, this is a disc golf course, so not sure what all is available for foodies only. Atmosphere was laid back and super chill. If this place had beer and music, it would be a hot spot. I could see the diner getting overwhelmed if a lot of people hit them at once. As for the disc golf, I did not ask a bunch of questions. I saw they had a driving range, and two disc golf courses and they are listed as both being in the top 5 courses in Texas. All in all I was super impressed with the burgers, fries, and fried pickles. The atmosphere is laid back, kitchen is quick and friendly. Nothing fancy, but I think that's what they are going for. Will definitely come back to check out the golf, and of course eat while I'm out there. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food.

You order at the counter and then wait for your food to be brought to you. The girl who took our order was very pleasant and helpful. I got the Irish nacho but I substituted onion strings for the french fries and she happily made the substitution. The burger was pretty thick and nicely char grilled. I love a good char. It was very good. My only complaint was that I like mine a little less well done cuz it might have been a little overcharred and a tad dry for my liking, but I think that could be rectified by just ordering it medium next time. The bun is toasted which I love. It comes with ranch dressing which was definitely made in-house and delicious (and I'm a ranch snob). It had lots of melted cheddar cheese and onion strings on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband got the hatch green chili burger and he loved it tho he said his was a little overdone as well. The kids both got the classic burger which comes with two smash patties instead of the one thicker one and they said that theirs was good as well. I got the sweet potato waffle fries which were a little thinner than I'm used to but I actually preferred it that way cuz they weren't soggy and had a little crispiness to the edges. The drinks come in a plastic cup that you can take home with you which I love. So overall very good and pleasantly surprised first visit. Only complaints were that, again, the burgers were a little overcooked and I'll order medium next time and it was a little pricey... $70 for the four of us getting combos.
