    The coffee was good.

    This is my second trip to Lakewood Cafe and it was just as good the second time. Waitress took my order and kept my coffee full. The food was cooked well and there was plenty. I was there early so it wasn't packed. I'll be back.

    Basic greasy breakfast, coffee is pretty rough, server was really nice when we could actually hear what she was saying over the excessively loud music from the kitchen that they believe everyone wants to hear instead of being able to talk to anyone at your table. The cashier in the other hand instead of being polite and asking me how my meal was, instead thought reminding me that the coffee cup in my hand was their cup, twice, as though I was planning to take it to the local pawn shop later.. If I were desperate to eat and it were the only place open, I would either pass or fast, not sure. Sorry no food pictures here, just boring, and greasy.

    LUNCH & DINNER is back at Lakewood Cafe! Clean & comfy place, wish it was bigger because Lakewood is popular! Staff is very pleasant & helpful, and happy to serve great food. The kitchen knows how to cook, and whoever orders the produce finds the best veggies & greens I have seen at any restaurant! I came here for breakfast, but saw the menu had Mediterranean Salad. Well, no doubt these cooks can sling a great salad, and that is what I got. Grilled, sliced chicken breast, on top of a perfect mixture of greens & salad veggies, topped with Feta cheese & Kalamata olives. A simple Balsamic & olive oil dressing made this a zesty & delicious salad. This place is crazy-busy on weekends with locals & their families! The mall owner should help them expand the floorspace. Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner, you can bet on Lakewood Cafe in Rowlett, TX, if a table is open. You can order takeout!

    Tuscan Panini (comes with 1 side)

    I was between a rock and a hard place. It was Sunday and I was out of town. I didn't want to dine in, but I was starving. In smaller towns like this (I am from an even smaller one) no one seems to want to wear masks (MASKS ARE NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE OR INDICATOR, FRIENDS!!! - though I also understand that it is a choice). I witnessed that going through town, and I was still taken aback. My tactic? Find the place open that would give me a (decently) healthy and nutritious option that had the most empty parking lot. I found this place. When I got in, there was a wait, though that was because they were seating every other table, which I appreciated. The staff was in masks and gloves, which I also appreciated. My wait was about 10 mins, which wasn't bad. They had a designated seating area, which was nice. The hostess was sweet as could be. The server - even better! She offered suggestions, complimented my choice and welcomed me when she approached. LOVE IT about smaller/mid size towns like this. CHECK OUT MY PICTURE OF MY MEAL!!!! I ordered the Tuscan Panini. To most, it likely looks like the least of the menu options, but it was delicious! The bread may not look like it, but it was like a cloud, and warm. The veggies were certainly fresh, but in house, the cheese was real, and the hash browns (which were what I chose as my "one side") were not greasy, but crisp. It also didn't look like much on the plate but was so filling. I 86'd the pesto mayo, but the sandwich was far from from dry. I really enjoyed my visit to this place, and will certainly return - unless I master making it at home, but even then I may because the menu had so many good looking option I want to see what else they have to offer. THANK YOU to this wonderful cafe!

    pancakes

    I tried this place last Saturday, virtually no wait but I was eating by myself. I ordered Poppas Breakfast; it was good, came with eggs, sausage, and pancakes. Pancakes were great, sausage was sausages. the only thing I had an issue with was the cheese on my scrambled eggs it had a weird nasty taste. when I ate pieces of the egg without the cheese the eggs tasted fine. other than that the food is good, service is great and people are nice.

    Club Sandwhich and Onion Rings

    I love this place so so much!! The onion rings were super crispy and the toasted part of the club sand-which was amazing! The food portion was a ton too so I would DEFINITELY recommend this place. I will definitely come here with my family or friends!!

If you expect servicing your order to be right, don't come here. i've been working since 6 o'clock this morning today. I finally got a break so I went to go get a sandwich while I had a break ordered it online was very specific about what I wanted. I took my order, sat down to eat it after I had already left the location when I opened up my order it was wrong just opening it up. I could see it was wrong because it had some rosemary bread. I had ordered just plain white bread so I was like OK whatever I'm hungry. I'm gonna eat it then I go and bite into it and I had requested no pepperoni because it makes me nauseous and the first bite I took of it. That's all I could taste with the pepperoni so now I'm nauseous and upset because now it wasn't just that they had also asked for extra lettuce and extra banana peppers I could do without those but the simple fact that I specifically asked for something not to be in it not only did I get the wrong bread. They didn't give me my extras and on top of that they put the pepperoni, which makes me sit to. My stomach is gross on top of that I did tip them two dollars, but I tipped them. It was just one sandwich but then to go into the store and to have these teenagers behind the counter being unprofessional, taking their time didn't greet me when I walked in. It's a joke then when I called them to to confirm to make sure that they did get the extra notes that said I did not want pepperoni and the extras on my sandwich. He confirmed the order so then when I asked to speak to a manager, they started playing hang up the phone cussing me out over the phone so whoever the regional manager or the franchise owner is for the store this is who you got working for you for lazy people. They don't wanna deal with their mistakes because they were sitting there playing on the other side of the counter instead of working. And the store itself was not clean. So if you wanna know who the workers were for whoever's reading this, it's whoever was working today at 3:29 PM and today is March 31.

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

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!
