    Dropped in for a quick beer

    Pazley was easy on the eyes and just as nice.. Totally made a quick trip worth it.. Hadn't been to Pockets in years .. Pool & Shuffleboard tables looked amazing Addition of the outside patio next level. I'll definitely be back soon and next time might play pool

    It was my first being here in years! It's so much better than the last time I came. The place was super clean and the staff super friendly. Paisley took care of us today, and we couldn't have asked for a better bartender!

    Pockets is Definitely one of the best pool halls in the Metroplex. The 8' Brunswick Tables are well kept & they all have Simonis felt! There are over 10+ tables here, so no worries if there is pool league, there are still open tables to play on. They even have Shuffleboard!! The Food is Incredible!! The meaty wings have a crunchy, & spicy flavor that's delicious, the fries are fried & seasoned perfectly. The BLT is probably my favorite, and...OH MY GOSH.. that French Dip is to die for!! They also have Happy Hour specials up until 7pm. The head bartenders name is Paisley & she's the sweetest and funnest bartender on the planet! Every-time I go to the bar, she makes sure she takes care of customers without hesitation. The servers are always checking up on you while you play pool, and bring your food and drinks with a smile! They take the time to cut up and share a laugh then move to the next table. 3 waitress there really make the experience fun Sam, Raven & Taylor are Totally Awesome! I just can't say enough nice things about folks that take the time serve promptly & with a smile!! The owner has taken the time to make this establishment fun, safe, and clean. Listen, a well kept pool hall is not something you find often. Most of the time it's nasty & you'd be embarrassed to take a date or a friend there. At pockets you'll get the atmosphere you wanted and more!! I drive over a hour just to come here, because the experience is unlike other locations I've been & I play a lot. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for casual players & even the pool sharks! You'll enjoy your time here! For Real.

    See all

    They stole our card information and went on a shopping spree. Bring cash. Highly don't recommend. Very country, not inviting.

    This visit was very different than our first visit. The atmosphere was great, the food was stellar,…read morejust a good time. Our server, Bessie, was really nice and very attentive. So both visits, our server was good. They definitely don't lack in that area. The Hangover Burger is wonderful. We asked for medium rare on the artisan bun. That's exactly what we got, a juicy medium rare. Great flavor, great burger. As with our first visit, the plain tator tots side are some of the best we've ever had. The tot-chos... these are next level. The queso style sauce is delicious, and it has some flavor to it that really sets it apart. The chili reminds me of Weinerschitzel, and the guac was a really good addition, bright flavor to go with the heavier chili and cheese sauce. We were originally going to give this place another try on a weekday, but coming on a whim during Sunday lunch worked out just fine. If this quality is how it actually is, then we're looking forward to coming back.

Waitress was very friendly and service was good. My burger came with regular tomato already on it but they also have a "grilled tomato" option. I asked for the grilled option and they charged 50 cents for it. Yes it's only 50 cents, but I think it's kinda crazy since my burger already came with tomato. If it didn't come with any tomato and I asked for it, then I would understand an up charge. Either way, I'll be back because it was an overall very positive experience.

She's sharp,…read morequick-witted, and actually pays attention to what's going on around her--something that clearly isn't consistent across the rest of the floor. While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

It's…read moreactually a very fun experience, as long as you don't bring your significant other or care about food. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (5 Stars if you only care about service) Atmosphere - It's pretty electric. There is a large bar in the middle, tons of bar seating, and during my Thursday visit for lunch, it was packed. The vibes are good, and tons of TVs are showing sports. If you have an XY chromosome, this is your place. 1 Star. Service - Rowdy Cowboy is known for having great servers who are very friendly (and nice to look at). All tables were taken, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were fast, efficient, and very friendly. They got my order wrong, but I don't care. Their friendliness made me not care. 1 Star. Food - Look, if you're here, you're not here for the food. I started with the Steak Frites. The steak was super tender but lacked seasoning. The shoestring fries were awesome and made the perfect pairing to the steak. I ordered the Brisket Sliders but ended up with Wagyu Sliders. I didn't mind because our bartenders were so friendly, but the sliders were just ok. Remember, this place is not known for the food. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Rowdy Cowboy knows exactly what it does well, and believe me it does it well. In fact, out of all the restaurants in this genre, Rowdy Cowboy has the friendliest staff. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.

We started with the Ahi Poke Stack for an appetizer. It was DELICIOUS. The tuna was fresh, and all of the other flavors were on point. The wanton chips are my favorite, super crispy. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, quinoa, and roasted chicken salad (so did my sister-in-law), my brother ordered the Spicy chicken and waffles, and they ordered my nephew fish and chips. The food was great all around. I loved the freshness of the salad, especially the dried cranberries. I tried the spicy chicken and it was soooooo good. The batter is light and crispy, not too spicy, and the maple syrup really completes the flavors. I will definitely try that at our next brunch. I didn't try the fish and chips but my nephew loved

They were a regular stop in our family's restaurant rotations for several years. A few months ago, a couple of visits were disappointing because of slow service so we stopped going. Last week, I wanted to go again because there is one appetizer of theirs I adore and I missed it. My husband and I went for lunch on a Sunday, and they were fairly busy, as usual. We ordered, then waited. Then we waited some more. We waited long enough that I noticed a couple of families who were seated after us not only had been served their food but were nearly finished eating! We had not seen our server for awhile, either, so I asked the hostess if there was a manager on the premises. She said there was, but the manager was helping bring food out of the kitchen. Another 5-10 minutes passed and our food was brought out by the restaurant manager. She said 'the kitchen got backed up'. I asked if perhaps our order was not put it after we ordered. She said 'no, I guarantee that isn't what happened, we just got busy.' It sounded more like she was being defensive rather than offering an apology for our long wait. This restaurant has been busy every time we have been there, so are they recently short-staffed? I doubt that the kitchen just happened to 'back up' several random times in a row when we happened to visit. Disappointing. It's too bad because they used to be better.
