I definitely enjoyed my visit to Rodeo Goat in Denton a couple of weeks ago. My husband and I were greeted immediately by Delaney to take our drink order. She recommended the Sugar Burger which was exactly what I needed. It had peaches, although cut in triangles instead of sliced thin, it still made for an interestingly delicious burger. My husband enjoyed his burger too...whatever it was. We shared tater tots, which were crispy and seasoned perfectly. I wish they had Temptress on tap instead of just a can, but our server brought chilled glasses, which was a plus. I recommended Rodeo Goat for anyone who loves burgers. If you get stuck with Delaney, you will be happy!

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!!

Brad Sham burger, HAND PUNCHED FRIES, onion ring, Dallas Blond beer.
Kathi S.

The atmosphere was fun, quiet with nice music coming from above. The service was great. The Brad Sham burger was amazing, the bread was to die for, the Dallas Blond beer was cold and refreshing. The onion ring was greasy, limp and not consumable, not for me anyway. The fries were not much better. The pickle slices were okay-ish.

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

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!

Nanny goat burger and Rattlesnake Margarita and HAND PUNCHED FRIES

The restaurant was very cute inside. The rattlesnake margarita was delicious and strong! My nanny goat burger was delicious. It was very rich with the goat cheese and garlic mayo, but I enjoyed it! Server was friendly and helpful.

Goat BALLS

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. Finish off the meal with Goat Balls, enough to share while dipping in the magical berry jam. Good place, fun decor.

STEAMING PILE
Elizabeth A. H.

We had a party of 10 and we were able to find two tables back to back. Our server was very friendly.The Ozmosis burger was phenomenal. I was a bit unsure of the steaming pile but it was very good, messy but good. My husband's go to order is the avocado salad.

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.

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...

How are the hamburgers?

The burgers are gourmet and may not always appeal to some people with a basic burger desire. It is not your typical burger joint. The burgers are definitely not the same old style burgers. The burger meat is good but it is the toppings that make… 

Are they pet friendly?

Rodeo Goat allows pets on the patio outside, but they must be leashed. Service dogs are welcome anywhere.

We just moved to Denton about 6 months ago and I had a friend who gave me a bunch of suggestions of…read morewho to follow on Instagram, Hemlock was one of them. We finally went one of their events and we got there right at 5pm so that we could get a seat. I love that they have something going on almost every day. I even brought a gift and was able to grab an awesome Krampus one! The place was beautifully decorated and designed. We got 2 alcoholic beverages and one tea order (no booze) and with a small tip it was $35.00, somewhere around there. I'm not used to bars and so I didn't know if that's a lot but to me it seemed like a lot. This place is really cool to check out.

A proper witchy bar! This place takes its witchy vibes seriously, with potions, spells and themed…read moredrinks all around. If you love anything spooky or mystical, you'll appreciate how committed they are to the theme. No food served when we went, but drinks were great. We visited in October, when Denton goes all out for Halloween, so the timing was perfect. The bar is on a busy street with plenty of other activities going on nearby, making it a fun area to explore. Inside, there are only a few tables and a lovely couch, but everything is very much on brand and fits the atmosphere beautifully. Unfortunately, the service was where things fell a little short. There were three people behind the bar, all seemingly working with the same customers at the same time. It's hard to explain, but they looked busy without actually being very productive, if that makes sense. On top of that, none of them seemed particularly friendly, which took away from the experience a little. I'd give it a 3.5, but that's not an option, so I'm leaning on nicer. There's plenty of free street parking in the surrounding area, although you might have to drive around for a bit to find a spot during peak hours.
