    Ice cold water

    The service is really nice and kind and this is probably the nicest Mc Alisters that I have ever been.the food is very good the water is the best water I ever had.

    2nd time have been here in a week. The harvest chicken salad sandwich is great. Shout out to Shy for keeping my drink refilled, it was very appreciated.

    Yuck

    Food was prepared sloppy, thrown together. The strawberry shortcake was served literally frozen solid. The chicken was disgusting and chewy, the veggies were wilted. The entire meal was a total waste of money. The teenagers who were working need major training in customer service, half the time they are all congregating in the back while NOBODY is at the front counter and customers have to stand there waiting for someone to appear. This location needs major management/ leadership help.

    Idiots

    I would pay to give ZERO stars... ordered a King Club with no honey mustard add mayo, confirmed twice while ordering and once while I was waiting 17 minutes for my one sandwich to-go. The people in line behind me were eating for 10 minutes by the time I got mine. The place was not busy. And it was WRONG! I said no honey mustard and add mayo three times. You know why I asked three times? Because the F it up every time! So now you know how incompetent the workers are. Let's discuss the filth. The subway tile on wall behind the register looks like it was cleaned with a mop after the they mopped the parking lot. The kid working the expo/pass was eating a salad while preparing trays for the dining room. He came out and asked me if I was waiting for an order with salad dressing on his face. Then at minute 15 someone asked if I needed to place an order. Pathetic, disgusting, inaccurate, incompetent and grimy! I will never be back and this is going on Nextdoor, and local neighborhood Facebook pages and IG. Winners of the worst of the worst! You suck!

    This table has been empty since I got here 15 minutes ago. Yuck.

    I love McAlister's and eat at the location close to home often. I'm in Rowlett tonight, so I stopped by this location. It smells dirty. It is dirty. Vacant tables are filthy with old food sitting on them. Employees who seem tired and irritated. The lids at the drink station are scattered all over and there is something sticky on the counter top. There is a box to advertise something about McAlister's kids, but it's empty...so it just looks out of place. The young girls and guy working seem to be friends, but no one seems to be doing much work. No one was at the counter when I walked in and the girl who came out to help me had a jacket sloppily hanging halfway off. The food was still good, but the staff and cleanliness of the restaurant need work! I think I'll stick to the Wylie location in the future. It's clean, and the customer service is top notch.

    Receipt showing order and what was received!

    Ordered online tonight and specifically requested BBQ chips and receipt even states this and I receive plain sea salt chips. Can't even get an order correct!

    This picture doesn't do justice to all the water on the floor.

    We come to McAlisters all the time. I'm not sure I can come back. They decide at dinner time, hours before closing to scrub the floors. They put water all over to where it is a safety hazard. The girl who is cleaning the floor decides to squeegee the floors to get rid of the dirty water and then puts the mats back. She then walks right past the sink messes with her hair walks right to my waiting food and then picks them up and brings them to me with her hands all over every thing. They used to have the best manager. I'm not sure what happened to him, but they need to bring him back.

    The fact that I have not eaten the best sandwich of my life at Mcallister's is the reason I couldn't quite give this place five stars.

    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.

    I'm just wow. This is an actual scratch kitchen. No seed oil. House aioli made w olive oil. They…read morebake SD, multi, sandwich loaf and nice laminated pastry fresh. Where am I? Forget the Cuban. Order the Chimi Steak. Legit.

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!
