My new favorite burger place. Great atmosphere, right on the lake. The staff are super nice. Classic Rock playing, outdoor patio - what's not to love? read more

Rodeo Goat - Billy Gibbons was here? - Burgers Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Rodeo Goat is my favorite burger place in Rockwall! They have a ton of options, and there are 2 different special burgers that get switched out every month. There is really nice outdoor seating (+ indoor as well.) The service has been friendly and pleasant every time I have been there. They also offer a gluten free bun, which is pretty good. I will say that there is a bird problem with the outdoor seating, as lots of crows are constantly swooping around. Also, if you are NOT wanting a burger, the only other option is a salad or fries, but as long as you're in a meat-mood, this place is the best! read more

We had a great late lunch here on a Friday afternoon. Our server was super sweet and made great suggestions on beer and food options. The build-your-own burger I made (blt, mayo, and added avocado spread) was FANTASTIC!! The fries were a hit. Sweet potato and plain were both the most amazing addition to their burgers. Loved the spicy and regular ranch! Okay now to the margarita. Strong and tasted pretty good. My husband enjoyed the beer options (purple haze and dark matter). My only beef with the harbor is the parking. I don't feel the infrastructure here is set up for this much volume of stores and customers. Of course this isn't the restaurants' fault. read more

This location is great one to visit. The patio has a great waterfront view. There was a little bit of a wait, but well worth it. Cheese fries were delicious. Service was fast and our waitress checked up on us a lot. Drinks were good! I would definitely go back. read more

Rodeo Goat - CHEESE FRIES NO SURPRISE - Burgers Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

We were visiting Rockwall and decided to give Rodeo Goat a shot for dinner. This spot definitely leans into its casual, lively Texas charm. It has a fun, loud, and bustling atmosphere with a gorgeous view of Lake Ray Hubbard. I can imagine the patio being a prime hangout in the cooler months, especially with that waterfront breeze. The restaurant operates on a seat-yourself system, which sounds simple enough, until it isn't. On our Wednesday evening visit, the place was packed, and it took a bit too long for servers to notice new tables and get menus out. We also noticed a bit of a lag in getting tables wiped down and flipped for waiting guests. There are a few TVs scattered around for the sports fans, which adds to the upbeat, casual vibe. Now, let's talk food--burgers are clearly the star here, and they do them well. My husband ordered the BILLY F GIBBONS (formerly the Bad Hombre), which came stacked with candied bacon, caramelized onions, gouda, mango pico, cream cheese, and trailboss sauce. He noted the mango pico had a nice kick without being overwhelming, and surprisingly the gluten-free bun actually tasted good (a rare feat for anyone GF). I went with the RAY HUBBARD, topped with white cheddar, candied bacon, blackberry compote, and bourbon mustard. The patty was juicy, the bun soft, and while the combo sounded like magic, the bourbon mustard really overpowered the dish. I was hoping for more from the blackberry compote. It was barely there, which was disappointing because it could've added a great balance to the richness. We split an order of sweet potato fries, which were crispy and well-seasoned. Also, bonus points: they don't skimp on the ice in their tea, which is the kind of little detail I absolutely notice and appreciate in Texas heat. A quick note for my fellow gluten-free diners: they do offer GF buns, even though it's not noted on the menu. Just be cautious if you have a true allergy because fried sides share a fryer, so cross-contamination is a risk. Overall, this was a satisfying stop with flavorful burgers, a high-energy vibe, and fair prices. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to hit another Rodeo Goat location, but this visit left us full and happy. read more

Rodeo Goat Was wonderful ! We sat at the bar and although I don't know the name of the server he called us "Friends" like that was sooo cool. I felt like a friend and was served like one ! I'll be back ! read more

We stopped in because my babe was craving a burger and we def got more than we bargained for. The restaurant and restrooms were super clean. The staff was extremely kind and the food was spectacular! My babe said the Bodacious Burger was sooo good ! I wasn't too hungry so I just nibbled on his house fries and they were delicious ! Safe to say we will be back read more

Customer service was wack. Was there for my grandmothers birthday and was not once greeted or thanked by any staff for being there. What's worse is another party was there for a birthday and they were greeted right away and even asked if they were celebrating a birthday. Racist to be quite honest. read more

Some of the best burgers that I have had in my life. Absolutely incredible! The workers were nice and friendly.

It was a cold day and we were celebrating a birthday. The seating was a bit cramped, but we did fine and in a way it made it easier to talk to each other. Our server was friendly but getting our drinks was a bit slow. Once I got my rattle snake I was quite pleased. The food is always top notch, never an issue. I always get the battle of the burger because it's so fun to try a new burger. Their goat chips are my absolute favorite and I wish those were bottomless. Their ranch is always a must regardless of what you get. read more

We were down in this area to visit family and my niece and her husband brought us here to eat. What a great menu and awesome selection of specials burgers. We had Texas Caviar as our app and I had the build your own burger and everyone else had the Ripp Wheeler burger. We all had the hand cut fries as well as separate order of sweet potato fries. Our server was great and made sure our food came out great. My burger was cooked just right. Next time we're here to visit family we will come back . read more

We had lunch here on a Monday afternoon and sat outside on the patio. I thought the swings for benches was a neat idea and the view of the lake is incredible. We ordered the sweet potato fries and they came out hot and delicious. The ranch dressing was excellent as well. I ordered the Levi's Blue Jean Burger and it was pretty decent but the blue cheese wasn't the best, and the burger could've tasted meatier for a double patty burger. Overall we had an amazing experience and our waitress Gianna was excellent and provided amazing quick service. I would recommend Rodeo Goat out of all the restaurants here at the harbor if you're coming to enjoy the scenery and good food. read more

Rodeo Goat - Sweet Potato fries - Burgers Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

My wife and I don't eat burgers often, but when we do, we go straight to Rodeo Goat--any location, really, because they're all excellent. What makes the Rockwall spot stand out is its incredible outdoor patio, complete with swinging tables and chairs and a beautiful view of the lake. It's one of the best patios around. The burgers themselves are wonderfully creative, often featuring unexpected ingredients--like strawberry compote. On a burger? Absolutely. And it works. I can be a pretty picky eater, but at Rodeo Goat I've learned to trust the menu. Order it the way the chef intended, and you'll be glad you did. You can't go wrong with any Rodeo Goat, but the Rockwall location is especially worth the visit for the views and the outstanding burgers. You won't be disappointed. read more

The main reason I'm not giving this place a 5 star rating is because the seating process was kind of a pain. Sat outside in the patio but none of the servers came by. Decided to move inside but it still took quite a while to get service. However, the food was delicious and will still be returning to try more. read more

Came with some friends for my first time and had a great experience. I ordered the Bodacious burger and it was delicious. The bbq sauce was sweet with a hint of spice from the jalapeños paired well together with the crunch from the onions. I ordered mine with 2 patty and it was so delicious I ordered it twice. The service was quick and the staff is very friendly. I look forward to going back. Great ambiance outside by the water. read more

Rodeo Goat - BODACIOUS (2 patty) - Burgers Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Came here for lunch with a work group around 12 in the afternoon. No wait to be seated and no reservation needed. Restaurant is over Looking a waterfront so there are options to sit outside or in. We opted for in due to this Texas heat! The burger selection is one of the best I have seen. There are loads of varieties of toppings and specialty burgers to choose from. My group we each ordered a different one so we could all try multiples and we split a large side of loaded fries. Every burger we tried had different flavor profiles with the toppings and we ordered without the buns. We also ordered the two burgers that were their featured burgers in competition with one another. Every burger we had was good and after eating I was stuffed! We went ahead and ordered the goat balls which is brie cheese deep fried and covered in powdered sugar and a jam drizzle - great full bite and one order was enough to satisfy four of us. I left this restaurant full and satisfied with the equivalent of one burger a side of fries and a small dessert. Good service, great view, and a laid back atmosphere it has been a long time since I enjoyed a good burger like this and unfortunately I was too preoccupied by the food to remember to take photos- which is a good thing! Highly recommend if you have a craving for a good burger! read more

Always clean. Service attentive. The BL-TX whisky drink always amazing. Tried the Cow Patty ( chocolate & pecan TX sheet cake, served warm with vanilla ice cream) for the first time. The cake was very moist on its own and the pecans and ice cream on top were perfect. VERY SADLY had to take off a star for the dry overcooked Nanny Goat burger. That being said it is the first and only time in many many times that I have been to multiple locations that this is ever happened. I would typically give the nanny goat a good 13 out of 10 but today's sadly it became a six and a half to seven out of 10. Everything about the rest of the visit was absolutely wonderful. I would still absolutely recommend this restaurant and this location. read more

Rodeo Goat - Cow Patty dessert. - Burgers Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

I came in February and the food was absolutely wonderful. The server was super kind. But on their menu they have this tater tot appetizer that doesn't state it has gluten in it as a binder. I have celiac disease and ate it not knowing. I eventually asked and they said it did. I asked for a shot of tequila quickly because it's been said it's an antibacterial and anti microbial so it helps people with gluten allergies to not wreck their stomach and lessen a reaction. The upsetting part was the manger even came over and didn't offer to comp the shot or appetizer knowing their customer ate something that wasn't properly labeled. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone with celiac disease because they don't label that there are binders in their food. read more

I tried the Neil Young (vegan) burger. You can substitute with an impossible burger. The burger was really good. The green sauce was amazing, my only critique would be less sprouts, they put a lot on the burger. Overall really good vegan burger and the cowboy caviar was fantastic! read more

We have really enjoyed this place in the past, but this experience didn't meet the mark. The hostess seemed lost. The manager sat around talking to employees instead of helping the hostess, who was drowning. The food was cold when it came out. Hoping this was a one off and not the new norm. read more

We love this place! Food: my kids love the sliders, the fries are good, the ranch is delicious. I got the American royale which was great and my husband got the spicy burger (hot bastard it's called I think?) which he liked a lot but it is def super spicy. Ambiance: I love sitting outside as there's a great view of the water and there's also a little fish pond that my kids love looking at. Someone who works there saw the boys looking at the fish and brought over fish food so that they could feed them! So cute and a great way to kill time (the wait for the food can take awhile if it's busy). Service: pretty good, I tried to order my kids food first so that they could start eating before us but all of our food came at the same time so idk if the server forgot to put theirs in or what. read more

My husband and children went to Rodeo Goat for lunch. I had the classic burger, my husband had the Bodacious and my daughter had the Neil Young. We also shared the cheese fries. For to drink we all had mootang drinks. The drinks were delicious and the burgers were also great! I had to edit the review. The waiter was not attentive. His name was Damien. He did not bring our change even though we asked for it. We had to run him down for drinks etc. he went to other tables multiple times and he didn't tend to our table. Would have been a five star review. read more

The food has always been amazing the times I've been. Service is always great too, and the view is simply fantastic! What pushed me to write this review is this young man, Rooney, I've had serving me twice now. I recently came in this Sunday and the wait to get a table was exceptionally long, so my family and I were already in a sour mood when we sat down. We sat outside at the patio and our server Rooney came along and greeted us quickly! He got us situated immediately and we also noticed that he was also taking care of larger parties inside and outside as well. His recommendations were so helpful and his run down of the menu was greatly appreciated by my husband and daughter. Everything was so fast and speedy with him, but he made us feel extremely welcomed and at home and never rushed us. I've been helped by him before when I came with one of my friends, and the experience never changes. My expectations of Rodeo Goat were always met, but this young man has greatly exceeded every bar! read more

Best burgers ever. Before they opened a location near us, we used to drive to Dallas a lot for a goat burger! Thank goodness, is closer to us now. read more

Great food and amazing drinks. My dad was asking for the best burger and it did not disappoint.

I've been to this location at least three times. It has a great indoor/outdoor vibe. You choose your seat-inside or outside. The outdoor seating consist of long long benches, bar stools for a possible party of two, or a swing for two with a table bench. The ambiance is a chilled atmosphere for parties, friends catching up, or solo for those who would like to dine with some pretty awesome cocktails and good but expensive burgers. During this visit, my waiter was busy with another table and another waiter and several waitresses came over to take care of me while my waiter served others. I really appreciated the attentiveness of the staff. read more
