    I was hoping to love it but it was mediocre. The Mac and cheese was cold (barely even room temperature) so I had to have them microwave it. The fish did not taste clean at all. Surprisingly the broccoli and cheese was super delicious.

    salad with shrimp and steak

    Hands down the best meatloaf in DFW. I came in for lunch and ordered to go. Took 15 minutes waiting for my order and I was happy to wait, but just wished they offered me some drink while waiting. They offer dine-in customer drinks and there are many you can choose from frozen drinks like margarita or a rum. The salad is not your typical salad- HUGE portions which we love! We paid about $50 for the salad and meatloaf and drove 30minutes to get to this place but it was worth it!! The moment you walk in, you will smell the delicious food. They have a nice seating area with a tv to enjoy the dine in vibe. Definitely a place to check out if you haven't been here.

    Overall this was a great place to eat. It was my first time going as we just picked a random spot for lunch. I ordered a smoked Turkey leg with 4 sides (Mac n Cheese, mixed veggies, squash n cheese, collard greens) along with a drink. The entree was $39 plus drink plus tax of course. The other plate was smothered pork chops with 2 sides for $17 Price 5 out of 5 stars - Based on the food portion it was priced right. Too much food to eat for one person or at one time so leftovers happened :) Taste 5 out of 5 - Everything was seasoned on point and not overdone. Customer Service - 5 out of 5 - We were greeted immediately, the restaurant was clean, and all of the dishes were explained. The staff made you feel like family. I will recommend this spot based on my experience and will be returning.

    Oxtails and Fried Cabbage and Okra

    So happy to see this kind of restaurant on my side of town. It's not the fanciest place, but decent enough to dine inside to get some comfort food. You can also do carry out. The staff is funny and friendly. The portions are generous so I'm ok with the cost. I was happy to support a small minority owned business. So let's talk food. Some of the food was good and some was just ok. I need to go back once more to make up my mind. I need to try a few more things. Cabbage gets 4 STARS yummy and seasoned well! Okra gets 4 STARS loved the onions and tomatoes mixed in with the okra. Oxtails 3 STARS were well seasoned. Ribs 2 STARS not a fan of the sauce and meat lacked seasoning. Mac and Cheese 1STAR was cheesy and just ok. Southern Greens were tasty 3 STARS Overall I had a good experience. This is food that definitely fills you up and sticks to your bones, butt, waistline and thighs.

    Pot roast, cheesy squash, and mashed potatoes n gravy. YUM!

    IN MY TOP 5 CONTENDER Soul Food RIGHT HERE!!!! DFW. If you don't know about this place, I feel sorry for you.

    Beef Tips and rice with collard greens and sweet potatoes.

    I have to give it a 5 star rating, especially when you have been looking for soul food in Richardson. I knew this was going to be good when I saw a young man going in at the counter. Always a good sign! I saw the pictures on yelp and had made up my mind prior to going. The beef tip were tender and gravy nice. The collards and sweet potatoes omg good as good could get. Didn't remind me of momma's cooking (but who will ever compare to that), but came awful close. I am so glad I ventured out of my corner of Richardson and found this hidden gem! I'll be back!

    Greens were salty, and tough unable to eat them. Pork chops and additional sides were average at best. Food is not worth the price.

    Food was pretty good. Hostess was super nice. Did not eat there because the ambiance wasn't very inviting.

We've been to other RG locations and this was similar to those. It wasn't overly busy, so we were promptly helped. We started with the $6 HH special, Rattlesnake, which is a frozen marg with sangria swirl. It was heavenly! And at $6, sign me up for two! The burgers were as expected, fantastic. The ranch house was impeccable with that bacon/onion jam. Wish I had another. The fries, both sweet potato and regular were quite crispy and seasoned well. This is a burger place that has quite a selection to choose from and the food is quality.

    We stopped by Rodeo Goat in Plano before the dinner rush and noticed the staff busy filling a lot…read moreof to-go orders. The atmosphere is super laid back and casual, which we liked--but just a heads up, this isn't the place to go if you're in a hurry. They definitely take their time. There's a ton of seating both inside and outside, and the space itself is pretty fun. The decor is entertaining and they even have some little games around, which adds to the vibe. Everything felt clean--the tables were well taken care of and the bathrooms were spotless. As for food, we ordered the Blue Goat, the H.L. Hunt, the Royale with Cheese, and the cheese fries (No Surprise). I had the Blue Goat (no onions). It was good overall, though I wish the blue cheese flavor was a bit stronger. My husband got the H.L. Hunt and really enjoyed the candied bacon. Our son had the Royale with Cheese and it filled him up so much that he didn't even touch fries--and he loves fries, so that says a lot. Speaking of fries, the order was HUGE--easily enough for 5-6 people. If we come back, I'd definitely dig into those first while the cheese is still warm and gooey. By the time we got to them after our burgers, everything had kind of stuck together. Overall, a fun, casual spot with solid burgers and massive portions--just plan for a slower-paced experience.
