    PARRILLADA EN FUEGO Molcajete
    Bill C.

    I've got a mixed review of Vidorra. At the end of the day, I don't think I'll be going back but that doesn't mean it was all bad. First, the good. Well, the good was definitely the chips and salsa. The chips were lightly dusted with some seasoning. I didn't take the time to figure out what it was, but it gave them a nice kick. So subtle but so significant. Unfortunately, my experience kind of dipped from there. Service was slow and a bit inattentive. I got the Molcajete parrillada en fuego. The literal translation is mortar grilled over fire. I should have asked what that meant because most Molcajete dishes are heated over fire. What it means at Vidorra is cook the meat, drop a hot coal in the mortar and put the cooked meat with a little mole on a grill screen over the mortar. It's basically a fajita dish served on top of the mortar bowl. However, it doesn't stay warm. Needless to say, I was disappointed. That said, the verde Molcajete that someone else got looked as expected. No one else (there were six of us) raved about their food. So, I'm in no rush to head back.

    Strong start...decor and vibe were legit. The appetizer, drink and chips were great! Not a fan of the red salsa but the green was delicious. Our meals were just okay...I wouldn't get them again. Our server seemed slammed and a little frazzled. Not sure we would go back unless it was for starters.

    Veggie enchiladas without lime crema drizzle and breakfast potatoes instead of rice & beans
    Rhonda M.

    On a recent trip to Rockwall, my friends ate here for dinner and loved it so much that we all went back the next day for brunch. The decor is beautiful, prices are pretty reasonable (some items are overpriced in my opinion, but most are average to good for the quality), our server was helpful and friendly, our orders were made correctly, and everything tasted ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We especially loved the salsa verde that came with the big basket of complimentary chips & salsa. The other included salsa had a smoky flavor and was the less hot option. We ordered a frozen margarita, the noche tropical drink, the breakfast chimi, the chili con carne enchiladas, and the veggie enchiladas with some modifications to make it more veg friendly. All of their rice and beans contain meat, so if you're a vegetarian ordering the veggie enchiladas, ask to substitute a different side. They substituted a different side for me at no extra charge.

    Wow, we decided to try Vidorra because we happened to be in the area, and I was not expecting this! The décor is really cool and actually reminds me of a place we used to go to that closed down--Hugo's Lost Colony. The outdoor patio and bar are amazing! It was a little warm when we went, but they do a great job circulating air and even have misters. I can only imagine how packed this place must get once the weather cools off. Tons of outdoor seating and the inside is huge as well. Service was spot on. We were greeted right away and went with the frozen house margarita (our server said it was better than the rocks version), and she was right--it was excellent. We also tried the guacamole. It was very tasty, but for the price the portion was a bit small, so I might pass on it next time. On the plus side, the chips and two kinds of salsa are complimentary--both were good, but I especially loved the smoky one. For my entrée, I had the three street taco plate with beans and rice. The portions were generous--I actually had a taco left over (and that's after filling up on chips and guac ). Pro tip: You can join the waitlist through Yelp. We walked right in and got seated on a busy Saturday night. Add Vidorra to the love list!

    Birthday dessert

    Checked out the Vidorra Rockwall for my birthday! Service : Staff's attentiveness: If you were celebrating a birthday or other milestone, the staff went above and beyond. We went on a slow dinner but the host led me to a small table in the middle of the room. I requested to be by the wall and mentioned it was my bday and they moved us to a more spacious table. Food: everything we ordered was so good. The samplers, the tacos and birrias. Will definitely go back and check their happy hour!

    Guacamole
    Jeremy S.

    I came here with my family for happy hour and we were seated with about 5 minutes to spare before it ended, which was a nice plus. The ambiance was lively but still comfortable for conversation, and our server Franklin was friendly and attentive throughout the meal despite how busy it was. For drinks, I ordered a margarita on the rocks. While it was okay, it did taste a bit premade and watered down rather than fresh, which was a little disappointing given the happy hour vibe. The food, however, was solid all around. We started with the loaded fries, which my family really enjoyed, and I also tried the guacamole and chicken flautas both were flavorful and satisfying. For the main course, Franklin recommended the trompa beef and pork tacos as well as the barbacoa tacos. Great suggestions, the tacos were tasty and well-seasoned, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time considering the restaurant was packed. My family dad, wife, and sister appeared to enjoy their food as well. Overall, Vidorra Rockwall delivered a fun evening with good food, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere. The only downside for me was the margaritas not being as fresh as expected. Still, I'd recommend it for happy hour or a casual dinner with family and friends.

    Chicken fajitas, rice & beans
    Shonna R.

    Sunday birthday lunch for a friend was celebrated with great atmosphere, fun service and food that was just okay. The frozen margaritas were disappointing and lacked flavor. The chicken fajitas were a bit dry, the beans & were rice were nothing to write home about. Anayeli, our server was great. She was helpful, accommodating, fun and made the entire experience memorable despite the lackluster food. She's a gem!!

    Parrillado en fuego
    Shelette S.

    Unplanned Friday evening date. We got there a little before 6 p.m. It was already kind of packed and steadily filling up. We were able to get a table right away, but about 20 minutes later, a line started to form--so it's probably better to make a reservation. As soon as we were seated, we were brought water, chips, and salsa. Our server came by within a couple of minutes to take our drink order. It took a little while to get our drinks, but considering how busy it was, it was understandable. The man ordered a beer, and I went with the Big Guava. It was a bit sweet, but tasty. It took a little more time for the server to return, but when she did, we ordered the birria empanadas as our appetizer, along with entrées--the churrasco and the Parrillada en Fuego--and a Don Julio flight. The flight came out with a sparkler, which was a fun touch. About five minutes later, all of our food came out at once, and the presentation was really appealing. The empanadas were absolutely delicious, served with a sauce and consomé. I didn't catch the name of the sauce, but it paired perfectly. The churrasco came with the smokiest, yummiest potatoes and was cooked perfectly for the man. My dish included BBQ chicken breast strips (with a little kick), jalapeño cheddar sausage, and short ribs, along with peppers and onions. Everything was amazing. The short ribs were a bit tough, but still flavorful. We decided to add the churros as our dessert. They were caramel-filled and of course delicious- just needed a caramel dipping sauce. The vibe of the restaurant was perfect for kicking off a Friday evening after work, and the food was excellent. We would definitely go back. We spent about $180 with tip.

    Tulum vibes takeover the city here in Rockwall. The level of detail extends to the music and food, even the chips and salsa. The staff is very well versed in the menu. The mix of cultures and creativity extended to the food is what made the Chile relleno (a Mexican restaurant staple menu item) a delicious unique item here. My expectations were exceeded the minute the plate came out. Charred lemon, black beans, STEAK all wonderful accompaniments to a perfectly balanced dish.

    Some of the best queso!

My wife…read moresurprised me with a special Father's Day dinner, and it couldn't have been a better choice. With kids at home, we don't get many opportunities for date nights, so when we do, we want it to be memorable and Wade's Landing exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Our server, Tori, was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive, constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely phenomenal, with every dish prepared to perfection. If you're a bourbon enthusiast, this place is a hidden gem. They have an impressive selection of allocated bourbons at prices that are more than fair, making it a must-visit for any whiskey lover. What truly sets Wade's Landing apart, though, is the people. Tori, Serene, and owner Stephen made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Their hospitality and genuine friendliness elevated an already incredible experience. Wade's Landing has officially become our favorite restaurant, and we'll be returning again and again. If you're looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, a fantastic bourbon selection, and an unforgettable atmosphere, this is the place. Highly recommended!

The service was exceptional throughout the evening. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring that everything was perfect without being intrusive. The staff worked seamlessly, and we never felt rushed during our meal. The food was equally outstanding. Our dishes- Miso glazed salmon and The Landing burger, the appetizer- the million dollar deviled eggs as well as my cocktail- 'It's 5 o'clock somewhere' were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Overall, this restaurant delivered an excellent dining experience with wonderful service, a comfortable and sophisticated atmosphere, and delicious food. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dinner and look forward to returning soon.

Next thing they did, was to comfort me, and give me medical treatment. I mean it was only a few scratches. My forearm was bleeding. Of course. I was bleeding all over the parking lot.

Since we were going to the show, why not go for dinner? I mean we have never been. Love that you can book reservations online. Super easy to get through the gate and it has amazing views. We were greeted by the host who was so kind. The place was super busy, I assume due to the show. So, we had to wait about 10 minutes. Table right in the middle of action... 1 min... 2 min... 7 minutes no greeting nothing and a woman walks by and says she will be right us. Cool. Thanks for letting us know. Walks past us 4 more times and nothing. The good thing is clearly someone else noticed and brought us water and said she was helping while the server got caught up. Okay. Everything will be OK. Whole ordering our drinks the server took over. Ordered drinks. App and 2 entrees. Then she was gone. 30 minutes after seating... nothing. Not even drinks yet. 32 minutes... she brings my husband's can of beer. No glass. No manhatten. She says they are working on mine. After 32 minutes (at least 20 minutes after ordering our drink)... can we have a glass? 5+ minutes later she brings me my manhattan... in a wine glass? Before I smell it I ask if its a manhattan because it looked like wine (damn good pour). Her response... I don't know. Never had one before. And still no glass. A. The Manhattan was fabulous and a ridiculously amazing pour. And for the cost... damn. Thats amazing. We decided she never rang in our drinks. Its the only thing that makes sense. It had really quieted down and the bartenders were working hard. And thats fine. But own it. Another 40 minutes and she stopped by once. Said our food was coming. But honestly haven't had a server who seemed to care less about her table in quite a while. Food came about 45 minutes after ordering. We ordered the Philly egg rolls... flavor was awesome. But they were cold. Clearly they had been sitting... for a while. Literally the cheese had melted onto each other and cooled. The entrees came at the same time. Smash burger and chicken fried chicken. Both honestly really good. The mashed potatoes were cold though... not sure if its because they werent kept warm in the prep station or if our plates just died waiting on server. Flavors were good though, including the gravy and fries. Good seasoning. We asked for ranch. Can you believe she never brought it? Nope us either. Seriously. The service was the worst we had in a while. It seemed exlusive to our table/server. I finally got her name at the end... Leandra. I am not trying to put her on blast everyone has a bad night. When my husband asked about the ranch. She said oh I forgot that too.. no apologies for that or the entire night. I said well it has been a rough night... she said yep. Here's the check. We are super nice... lots of grace... but this service made me almost want to not return. But... this is a small business trying to create something for our community. So im going to return oncs more and score is based on potential. But please owners.... staff is hard to come by, and maybe it was a rough night... but no one will survive if 30 minutes with not even drinks and cold food is acceptable. Its a beautiful space, flavorful food and great energy im very hopeful.

I have always been of the opinion that they have always served excellent food but had absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant and tonight was evident of that when we complained to our server that she was less than attentive to our table during the evening. We had to flag down the busboy to order our coffee and dessert, she never came to ask us how our food was, she never re-filled our water glasses and on and on. Instead of apologizing, she proceeded to argue with us. I told her to stop or I would ask to speak to the manager. She then proceeded to go get the manager, Breann, co-owner of the restaurant. After waiting for a while for her to show up, we just wanted to leave and took our check to the bar to get the check rung up so we could leave. Finally, Breann shows at the bar up and again, instead of apologizing to long time customers who have spent thousands of dollars in her restaurant, including a $185 tab tonight, she also starts to argue with us and tells us she viewed the camera and that our server came to our table 4 times during the meal? Really, 4 times, she's impressed by that? She greeted us and she took our wine order, after flagging her down she took our dinner order, after flagging her down she brought us a more wine and she brought us the coffee after we had ordered it from the busboy? And she thinks this is adequate service for an $185 tab? She continued to berate us and argue with us and finally told us she would take care of the whole bill and at this point we just wanted out of there, so we agreed and headed for the door. She then proceeded to follow us out on the front porch of the restaurant and continued to argue with my husband. As I mentioned at the beginning, these folks have never understood how to run a restaurant and treat customers. Unfortunately, they have survived because aren't many above average non-chain restaurants in Rockwall. BTW, what's up with the carpet in the front dining room held down with the gorilla tape?

    This place is a must in Rockwall. A MUST…read more I was hungry, and wanted something flavorful. Got on yelp and saw that they had some good things on the menu and decided to give it a try. What I loved most about this place was how local it was. People were dropping in, and everyone knew each other. We loved it. I highly recommend getting a reservation. We came in and sat at the bar, which wasn't bad, but just a heads up! Bartender/server Russo - AMAZING! This space isn't extremely spacious. They do have an outside, but it was really cold. We started off with a wine flight. Such a lovely poor for a flight, and the price was only 18. My man and I actually shared it. Will easily get this every time. For food - you can't go wrong with anything. I mean anything. We were blown away. We started off with the seared tuna, the sauce was so tasty we dipped our toasted focaccia bread in it. Perfect combination. We couldn't choose between the two pastas so we got both. The lamb gnocchi and ricotta lemon ravioli everything was so perfect. Both great portions, both extremely flavorful. You have to get these. We ended the night with a desert and again, blown away. We got the chocolate mousse and cleaned the bowl. It had little bites of vanilla cake in it, so good. This place is fantastic. We are easily coming back, we need to try the sandwiches!

Food was great, but it was hot inside. AC was not working correctly and our server seemed to be on drugs or something. I hope they find better servers, otherwise this place won't last.

The staff is always friendly and pleasant, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here. There are plenty of seating options: a cozy bar area, three separate dining rooms, a large patio with its own bar, and even picnic tables out back. I think the upstairs may be reserved for private events. Every time I visit, I end up ordering the same thing because it's just that good--the Naked Chicken three-piece. Absolutely delicious! I'm also glad they now offer two sides with your entrée for a small extra charge. The mac & cheese and green beans are both amazing. I've tried a cocktail or two, but usually skip them since the portions are small for the price. Overall, this is such a fun, charming spot with consistently great food. Definitely one of my go-to favorites! Add it to the Love List

    Who would have thought the historic Oliver house in Rowlett would be transformed into a…read moreMexican-Inspired Fried Chicken spot? Not me! Brick and Bones Backyard is a blue house on the corner of Main St. in Rowlett, Tx, that has been transformed into something magical. This Mexican-Inspired "chicken shop" is offering fried & rotisserie chicken, classic cocktails, and live music in a rustic setting. The menu is diverse and offering all things chicken that is brined 24 hours, fried and can be order breaded or naked( for the gluten-free in you). They also have rotisserie chicken, tenders, sandwiches, salads, bowls and wings, along with unique sides. Poblano mashed potatoes, habanero mac n cheese, mexican corn, etc... often garnished with fresh radish and cilantro around out the menu, with top notch service to boot. Mi marido ordered the breaded fried chicken, mexican corn and poblano mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken was well seasoned with a great crunch. The potatoes had good flavor, but were barely warm. I can imagine their greatness heated. The mexican corn on the other hand was the real elote deal! The fresh snap of sweet corn, dosed with cotija cheese and spices lives up to the hype! Sweet, spicy, savory, it hit all the flavor profiles. I had the naked chicken with an order crinkle fries(faves) which was greatly appreciated for it's gluten-freeness and flavor. However, it was abit overcooked. Which left it thready and a little dry. The sauce that accompanied it, was needed, but shouldn't have been, while the fries were fresh, but undercooked. The concept and flavors make Brick & Bone standout on the chicken front. Better execution can make it a cut above the rest. Check It Out!
