Rodeo Goat? You're probably thinking the same thing.... Why? And what in the world does it specialize in? Well- much to my chagrin... I was completely wrong. Maybe a Mediterranean style cuisine with shaved goat drizzled in tzatziki sauce with a Texan flair. I was wrong... but try gourmet burgers on for size. Burgers! Might I add- juicy, freshly made patties, and mighty tasty burgers! Man o man I loved the ambiance in a Friday evening. Came here with my son, who lives just across the parking lot at some urban apartments, and he was giving me his resounding endorsement so off we went. So glad I did! We both ordered the Bodacious Burger, layered in American cheese, bacon, heaping mounds of crispy onion, some grilled jalapeños, pickles, but I chose no BBQ sauce. Damn these burgers are thick thick thick and you can taste the homemade freshness with every bite. No frozen patties premade here. We ordered a single of hand punched fries dusted in parsley, salt, and Pepper. But, our waitress said it was enough for two, and she was spot on! Golden crispy fries were delish! I ordered their Old Buffagoat made with Buffalo Trace while my boy had a Vanilla Porter. All in all, great location, extremely friendly and immediate service, and more importantly, and no kidding- goatalicious with every bite!! As always, enjoy and Happy Eating!! read more

You would think that all Rodeo Goat food would be consistent. However, it certainly is not! This spot in Denton is by far the worst of any Rodeo Goats I have visited. (Rodeo Goat in Plano and Frisco Texas are 5 star burger locations! Just saying.) Reasons: Ordered the queso and cheese dip. The chips unanimously were stale and old tasting. And to add insult to stale chips, the salsa has BEER added to it! OMG! Not sure how old this salsa was, but for food to bubble and sizzle on your tongue is an issue. That's fermentation! That's jacked up! Everyone had a different burger. All were different sizes. Another inconsistency. The patties were pretty small and were smaller than the bun. Not a big deal, but we all added additional items to our burgers. Jalapeños, pickles, and/or bacon. And of course every single burger was without what we requested. Burgers were still "just" ok even though we paid extra to customize each one. "Sigh". Attention to details can really make a difference. If you can't follow through with customizations, don't offer that as an option. This place is a fail. The only solid thing at this location is that the wait staff will take your initial drink order. After that, well you're on your own. You won't see them again till it's time to pay. I expected all RG's to be created equal and have the same standards. I was seriously disappointed. The hand punched fries are pretty good. Unfortunately, getting condiments such as something as simple as ketchup is pathetic. There is no teamwork here. Each server is on their own. Just an observation. Denton management is a huge fail at this location. Come-on. Y'all can do way, way, way, better. Especially, since there are additional burger joints in the area. Managers should be rounding tables. 2 stars for the fries and water with seating. Otherwise, this location is an overpriced McDonalds. Blah! July 2025 read more

I'm sorry to say I don't understand the hype. I have been to multiple locations and every single one the meat is so gamey and tough!!! Staff is friendly which is nice but I just cannot eat a burger here. read more

Wednesday special is half off cheese fries! Both surprise (chili) and no surprise. It's a huge portion with bacon and cheese and jalapeños and it comes with a side of ketchup and 2 of ranch! They aren't cheap with ranch! Hubby ordered the chaca Oaxaca burger and gave it a solid 4/5 it had cheese, pico, an egg, everything yummy jammed into every bite! It was super affordable and we will probably be back! read more

Rodeo Goat is a family favorite for us, definitely one of the better burgers in Denton. They are very consistent with their service and the food is delicious. If you have room you have to try their shakes. read more

Interesting burger selections, the choices do not fail your taste buds. All sides are ala carte so bill adds up quickly. Good cold drinks and luckily learned about MOONTANG.

My husband and I eat here every few months, and we keep coming back. He loves to try the "battle of the burgers" and has enjoyed every one he's tried. I love that I can sub and impossible patty for any of the burgers. My favorite so far is the one with goat cheese and caramelized onions. The fries are hit or miss so we usually skip them. read more

You may see a name such as Rodeo Goat on your apple maps and be a little confused. What you don't realize is that you are entering a sacred space of burger. Chloe gave us a magnificent solo rendition on the harmonica of a piece known as "Happy Birthday". You may have heard of it. My friend and I split the two competing burgers this month, "The Big Tex" and "The Sundance Kid" and enjoyed them immensely. The burgers are super unique and I guarantee there is something you haven't tried. The atmosphere is very GOAT-y and cozy. The whole restaurant feels like a family and we all love goats. The beauty of the rodeo goat is not in the goat itself. It's found in the memories, conversations, tastes, and friends you make along the way. The Goat, is simply the guide, and he is the GOAT. read more

If you are new to the area, or here for a football game, this is a unique local chain that you should definitely check out. It's an upscale burger without the upscale price. Yes, you can get a plain ol' bacon cheeseburger (Royal w/ Cheese), and you can bring your Vegan friend ( Neil Young) too. They do make a great vegan patty, and they carry the Impossible patty too! My favorite is the Chaca Oxaca with chorizo/ beef patty with queso fresco, avocado spread, and a fried egg! This one's hard to beat! You can also choose from the most recent competition... there will be 2 chef-inspired burgers battling for dominance by sales... and the best of the year get to fight for a place on the permanent menu! The place is a little loud and fun, and is a great place to bring the kids! The place is famous for burgers, but the salads are completely worth checking out too (if you've had too much Carnivore Diet this week)! I also recommend checking out the S'more's Goat Balls (if they are on the menu!). Don't forget the libations... Moon-tang Monday is 1/2 price, and the Sangria lovers need to check out the Rattlesnake Margarita! The service is pretty awesome most of the time too!! 4 STARS read more

A last minute date at Rodeo Goat with my wife made for a pleasant surprise, albeit quite messy dinner. It's been open almost a year now in the old location where a Cajun place was, next to BJ's and across the street from Chuy's. The complex list of burgers can be a little overwhelming, but my wife felt like the closest thing to a normal cheeseburger with mustard on it was the DCC, which we found out stands for Denton Country Club. Thick tomato cuts, pickles and mustard highlight this gem. Very great flavors but, fair warning, if you try to cut it in half it could just become a mess. I ordered the Chaka Oaxaca burger which features a chorizo mixed burger with a fried egg on it. Concept is fantastic because egg on a burger is one of my favorites and it comes with chipotle mayonnaise on it as I prefer mayo over mustard. Was a fantastic burger with a couple of downsides though. The egg was busted prior to arriving to me so the yolk had dripped down the bread to the bottom, which then made it the bun sticky and actually peel off on my fingers (eeeewww). Again makes for a mess man those thick chunks of avocado pair so well with the chorizo burger....but as advertised it's definitely a fiesta in your mouth. Those two burgers with a side of fries came to about $31 and my they check out on a hand held device so my wife said she left 20% to the very friendly and helpful waitress. No matter what people say, it always helps if the staff are smiling and appearing as if they are happy to have you dined with them. Never gets old. While not a fan of messy burgers that can fall apart, the flavor and service is well worth it... read more

Always a good experience at this place. FYI it is seat yourself, and then a server will come take care of you. Kade was awesome. Each month they have a burger battle with two specials of the month. I ordered the Saddle Up! And the bacon was almost like a steak (thick cut!) Only call out is fries/chip/etc are NOT included and are à la carte. Their rewards program is great as well. If you go 2-3x you'll get some sort of reward. They also have multiple ways to pay. QR code on the receipt, regular card/cash, and also the chip reader they'll bring to the table. They are also great about large groups too. read more

Rodeo Goat - SADDLE UP! Burger - Burgers Near Me - Denton, Texas

This restaurant used to be one of my favorites the food is still great, but the service has really gone downhill. You can see the servers standing around in the kitchen chatting while tables look around trying to get someone's attention for drink refills. The managers are nowhere to be found. It's frustrating because the food deserves better representation, but bad service will destroy a business. I actually had to go to the bar for refills, and at one point, the bartender even told me to help myself. I really hope management turns things around, because this place used to be amazing. Last visit was lunch 10/25/25. read more

Service was good but food was sub-par. Fries with cheddar bacon & jalapeño's came out over done like they had been sitting in the kitchen too long. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich called Firebirds was very dry and pretty much tasteless. My wife enjoyed her nanny, goat, nekked burger though. read more

I don't usually eat burgers, but when I do, I eat from Rodeo Goat from time to time. Love when they make special burgers for certain occasions and their food on their menu never disappoints. This place is a reliable burger fix read more

REALLY GOOD burgers. Lots of unique specialty options plus the ability to customize them as well as the option to build your own. Patties are thick. Fries are really good. I love the texture of the chips but wish they weren't so sweet. We get delivery from here quite often. read more

While my daughter and wife loved the *Royale w/Cheese* from Rodeo Goat's Denton delivery, my experience was mixed. The **Firebird** Nashville hot chicken sandwich lacked any real heat, sadly missing its spicy mark. The **Shaw** burger's flavor profile was so unexpectedly off that I couldn't finish it. Great concept, but execution seems to have faltered in transit. Might be worth a future in-person visit to give it a fair shot. read more

Great burger & Fries !!! Love this place not much to say. The cheese fries were fire ! Love the special burgers. read more

Walked in and were seated on the patio fairly quickly (it's heated, very comfortable temp). Our waitress Jamie was quick to come get our drink order and explain the menu speedily efficiently. We ordered the Norah Jones and the Bodacious and we ordered some sweet potato fries that are shareable. Both burgers were hot, huge, and delicious! Bursting with flavor.. only minor disappointment was the sweet potato fries, weren't as crunchy as I'd prefer but still good flavor! Next time I'll try the regular fries and see how they compare. I will be back again! read more

Rodeo Goat - Kids slider meal with HAND PUNCHED FRIES - Burgers Near Me - Denton, Texas

There are a lot of burger joints in Denton. And a lot of restaurants with burgers named after celebrities with local ties. I don't know if that happens in most cities, but people in Texas go crazy for it. I, myself, go crazy for a good-tasting burger, fried potatoes, and local beer. All of which I found at Rodeo Goat. My only complaint is its location. It is no fun to get to and there's not much else around within walking distance. Having visited the Fort Worth and Dallas Rodeo Goats, the Denton location is lacking. It feels more like eating at a Ruby Tuesday than a locally owned establishment. ...even with a burger named the Norah Jones. read more

Rodeo Goat - Ranch House and Goat Chips - Burgers Near Me - Denton, Texas

First time trying with a group of friends and it was a fun experience. The burgers are pretty hefty and they have sooo many options thag it's almost overwhelming. Thankfully the server told us about the "build your own" that wasn't on the menu and that was very helpful. The burger DOES NOT come with fries so you do have to order it abut they are pretty yummy. They're crunchy and the seasoning is decent. I'm not a fan of black pepper on fries but they made it work with the other seasonings on it. This location in Dentin has an indoor outdoor seating that's was nice for the decent weather. Overall great experience, 4/5 star just cause we were struggling for the best burger and the waiter had to inform of the build your own option. read more

Rodeo Goat - SUGAR BURGER!! - Burgers Near Me - Denton, Texas

I got here and had to wait 20 minutes but the manager helped me and immediately got me something to drink. My server was very friendly and loved on my dog along with the other server. The female server even offered a patty for my dog and made sure he enjoyed his tater tots. I ordered a Don Henley burger that tasted great with ranchero sauce to dip my tater tots with. Saturday night was a great night! Next time I'm going with my boyfriend. read more

Sugar burger is delicious. Good selection of craft beers and burger palates. Lots of beef alternatives available but not a lot of options outside of burgers--duh...it's a burger bar. Fries are fresh cut. Could use more seasoning but a little of their house made ranch solved that minor inconvenience. Ver tasty. Great service. Very welcoming and very attentive. Fast and courteous. Great vibe. Loved the patio. read more

You'll see us back again soon. Thank you, Sophie! read more

Somehow I never noticed this awesome eatery not far from Buc-cees on I-35, and I've clearly been missing out. The menu is a smorgasbord of burgerliciousness, with more than a dozen varieties to choose from. I went old school with the simple D.C.C. Burger (chopped iceberg lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheddar, mayo and mustard) and a side of hand punched fries. The service was swift, burger was cooked just right, and fries were on point. I'll definitely be back with a friend to try something more adventuresome, like the popular Bodacious Burger (American cheese, bacon, crispy onions, grilled jalapeños, pickles, smoked jalapeño mayo, and BBQ sauce) and some Goat Balls for dessert (fried dough filled with Bavarian cream). Skip the Buc-cees brisket sandwich next time and pop by Rodeo Goat instead. read more

Ordered from the bar and sat at one of the tables. Kate the bartender had not a problem taking my order. Margarita is good. Service was swift and quick. Decor is diverse. Plenty of seating including outside patio that will be nice during cooler weather. Kade one of the servers was friendly and attentive. Although burger is a little smaller then I expected it is seasoned and cooked well The hand punched fries (large serving) nothing to brag about. I will try different fries and burgers upon my next visit. read more

Seemed clean enough after a recent review suggested otherwise. Burger - something Oaxaca - was a B. Smallish, decent flavors but there was supposed to be chorizo in the patty and it was barely detectable. Server said fries big enough to share. Not so. Not hot and we're very dark which says overcooked to me. C minus. Server good. Old fashioned cocktail a bit sweet with no swizzle stick to spear the cherry. read more

Great atmosphere and wait staff at Rodeo Goat and maybe I am giving away my more "mature" age here but whereas our burgers were good, $13 or so for literally just a single burger is steep. An order of fries or onion rings pushes this up to $20 and I do not claim to be a renown chef but I make excellent burgers that rival Rodeo Goat's. For $20-25 I can still feed four hungry people with 1/3 lb. ground sirloin burgers with cheese and fries galore and even sodas. Not the same as hanging out in a restaurant with fun people but also not a $100+ hit with tip. Nice place......just pricier than I'd like for a regular restaurant. read more

RODEO GOAT is definitely true to its name! Burgers were amazing very flavorful. Great portions! The service was great, they were professional and even provided recommendations on the menu.

Rodeo goat is a casual burger joint with an extensive bar menu. There are tvs everywhere to watch whatever game is playing, and the servers are friendly! I was so excited to visit rodeo goat because I heard all about the deliciously creative burger options. My family and I picked out 3 amazing options and they came out hot and freshly made! No complaints at all at first. We all ate silently in enjoyment until I took a bite out of the second half of my burger and pulled back a long strand of SOMEONE ELSES HAIR! It was mortifying! I was thoroughly enjoying it until that happened, and then I completely lost my appetite. I'm indifferent on if I will go back or not, as sanitation is extremely important to me. If I would hot have pulled that hair out of my burger, it would have had the potential to get 5 stars. I'm actually sad about it. read more

My brother and I were both first timers here, and really enjoyed the service and atmosphere. The burgers were huge, unique, and delicious.

Definitely recommend and will come back. read more
