Coffee was served with red lipstick in two places on the rim of the cup. 2. I was served very undercooked chicken fried chicken and undercooked okra. I had to spit out the chicken. Cutting further into it revealed pink raw meat. Upon reporting this and being so disgusted by this, I certainly did not want a redo. It was offered to remove this from my bill. They took off half? Really? Charged for bites of inedible food. Later, I tried getting in touch with someone to speak on this, rather than leave a negative review for a place I frequent. The owner at the Wylie store spoke with me and assured me this experience was not acceptable and he would call Fate to get my bill fully credited. He even called back to tell me he had spoken with the manager on duty and the credit would be issued in 2-3 business days. That was Oct 7. (I left the previous 5 star review after speaking with him and based on regular dining there) but now, It is now Oct 20 and no credit was issued. I extremely disappointed by the lack of customer service at the restaurant, lack of follow through on promises but especially being charged for undercooked okra, raw chicken, lipstick on cup . Not only horrible but hazardous!

Brand, brand new, all for you! Help break-in the seats here.

It was the valet service that caught his eye and peaked his interest that it might be a place we would enjoy. The inside of the restaurant is decorated simply, yet nicely, in warm, welcoming colors. The staff is primarily made up of respectful young people who have been trained well in customer service. They were a bit understaffed on a Sunday afternoon, which made service a little slow, but we were in no hurry and I completely know what it's like to work with not enough people, so I have no complaints about that, although there were several tables near us that weren't happy about the slow service. We got cocktails to start and they were good. I wanted the cocktail with the peanut butter tequila, but they ran out of the tequila, which was a little off putting, but The Grind and Day Drinking were suitable options. We ordered the deviled eggs appetizer and the presentation was lovely. I appreciated the smooth texture of the yolked stuffing, but there was absolutely no flavor to it. No seasoning at all. It did have a tasty bacon jam garnish, which helped, but I definitely wouldn't order them again. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The food looked tantalizing enough, the chicken was fried well with a good crispy batter and a moist center. But again, the flavor was lacking. A little seasoning would've made all the difference. The waffle was okay. My husband had the French toast, which was a little soggy, but he said it was good. We will give it a little time, let them work out the kinks, and we may try Wade's Landing again...maybe for Happy Hour or dinner.

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.

The food, views and relaxed atmosphere is what separates this from the typical restaurant scene. After breakfast we strolled along the harbor and enjoyed the morning with sweet tea.

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.
