I love this place! It's set in a beautifully restored old home, and the décor is absolutely adorable--everything is chicken-themed, just like the menu. 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 read more

Who would have thought the historic Oliver house in Rowlett would be transformed into a Mexican-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! read more

Brick & Bones is an eatery in a converted old house, or at least it looks that way, in Rowlett. It has a nice, quaint vibe with friendly service. I usually get the fried chicken and a side. Very good flavor, but the three piece order may not be enough to fill you even with a side of green beans or Mac and Cheese. Last visit I had the six piece fried chicken and got full with a piece or two left over. One star is deducted from the rating due to the poor mixed drink situation. The prices are exorbitant and the volumes are stingy. That is the sort of thing that makes me go elsewhere with good HH specials. $14 for a meager drink isn't my idea of value. Good food, limited menu. read more

I cant believe we took so long to visit this place in our neighborhood! I am so glad we visited this past weekend. Service was excellent. The covered patio also looked inviting, but not in August Texas weather. The waiter and other staff checked on us frequently. We did try the "healthier" items but there were very good and cannot wait to go back to try their fried items! read more

Bricks & Bones? I expected ribs, burgers, bricks? It is only chicken. Super cute atmosphere with outdoor tables and games for the kiddos. Service started extremely friendly but then they forgot we were on the patio. Once they remembered, it was very good. The bad, food comes in takeout containers with plastic cups and forks. Unfortunately, it doesn't taste good either. I had the Barnyard Salad, no flavor at all. The rotisserie chicken was reheated on a flat ground and was dried out shreds. $12ish. My hubs had the 3 piece house special chicken, waay overcooked in grease that needed to be filtered or changed. $11 with no sides. If you are serving fast food, the price needs to reflect that. Please see pics. read more

Took myself to dinner. Really cute place. There's ample seating outside in the yard and on the patio. The place is dimly light really romantic but yet casual. Loved the aesthetics . There was live music. A man playing guitar singing country music. My server was Isaac, he was a doll. He provided amazing service. There was also a lady I imagine is a manager she was also the bomb. I had two bourbon cocktails. They must have a real mixologist because the drinks were pretty, well balanced, tastes great, and delivered on the spirit lol. The chicken was really juicy, loved the skin. It's served with hot sauce, lime, cilantro (all these were a good accompaniment) I also had their bowl. It was extremely filling. You will definitely have a take away. Lastly I took home their crème strawberry dessert. You can't miss with that combination. There were other things on the menu that sounded interesting I will be back to try. read more

Food I ordered the chicken and waffles, it came with a sauce on the meal. There was also a side of fries with the meal. Overall it was decent, lightly seasoned, but the mixture of sweet and savory wasn't as strong as I would have expected it. Service I sat at the bar, the service was good, our bar tender was attentive and made sure we had constant refills. There was also a waitress that kept checking in to make sure we were doing good with our meal. Ambiance The location is actually an older house that was repurposed so entering there is a dining area with a couple of tables that looks like it used to be a sun room. Further back is the bar which is small with about 5 chairs and a tv along with several drinks. There is an upstairs portion but I'm not too sure if people are allowed to go upstairs. There is also an outdoor section that is being built and should provide a patio and some outdoor eating experiences soon. Its a decent location and I believe there is an original location downtown near Deep Ellum. read more

Well I got it to go but the food was super fresh and fantastic. Wings were good and they were super nice on the phone while I was ordering. I really need to go back and eat in read more

First time here and we'll definitely be back. The covered patio area is super chill -- lots of natural light, TVs for the game, and a nice breeze with the open sides. It's a great setup whether you're just grabbing lunch or hanging out for a while. I had the chicken and waffles and they were amazing. Perfectly crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and the house-made hot sauce added the right amount of kick without being overwhelming. My wife got the Backyard Salad and really liked it -- super fresh and the rotisserie chicken was really flavorful. Not sure what the dressing was, but it worked! Service was friendly, and we felt relaxed the whole time. Just a solid spot all around. Brick & Bones gets a perfect rating from us. read more

All of the service staff were friendly and engaging. Everyone seemed to be vibing positively. I randomly ordered the Chicken & Waffles along with a side of beans and a side of Mexican corn. My friend ordered the Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich The portion sizes for our entrees were really large. One might say they would definitely be shareable. I highly recommend the Chickek and Waffles. Maybe syrup on the side to avoid any late-meal sog, although it was delicious sogginess all the same. Mexican Corn was very refreshing. I didn't like the beer-like flavor of the beans personally. The Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich was cut in half and was so large that it was nearly like two full-size sandwiches. They had little wagon-wheel shaped chips that were like bland, flavorless puffs. The ambiance was dark with dim lighting. It looked like the place had a bottom and upper level separated by staircase. There was an outdoor seating area with a patio. Parking is really tight in the rear. Altogether about $50 for two. Really enjoyed the Chicken and Waffles. read more

Food ... marginal Service... fair Ambiance... too dark Person at entrance... none caring Being charged an up charge for using a card to pay is unacceptable. No other place does this. This speaks volumes. I wouldn't step foot in this place again. This could be an interesting topic for my TikTok followers, and facebook. S.Mize Fate read more

Amazing food every single time!!! Today I got to try the chimichurri chicken sandwich and it was absolutely perfect. The waiter even recommended subbing the pinwheel crisps for the fries and getting extra chimichurri to dip them in. It was a great suggestion. I absolutely love the ambiance and the entire vibe this place gives off. The service has always been top notch every time I've been. I can't recommend Brick & Bones Backyard enough. read more

Is this place finally gone from Rowlett, been there a few times and 1st time the chicken was like it was full of hormones and the second I only drank and the third was to meet someone there and the food got us both sick and should have known better as it tasted like it was frozen and sitting in water all day then cooked. Bad business for sure, I thought I saw it closed and I hope so so a decent pace can move in there if the property owners don't pick another fowl company. read more

Hidden gem in Rowlett!!! Didn't even know this spot had popped up here but I'm glad it did because the food is so freaking good! I got the hot chicken, chimichurri chicken sandwich, poblano mash potatoes, habanero bacon mac, and Mexican corn. Yes, this was a lot of food for 2 people and no, we didn't finish it all. But no regrets! Everything was pretty good! The hot chicken was not spicy, but it did have some nice seasoning. The chimichurri sandwich was my personal (main dish) favorite. The mashed potatoes was good, just a little bland. They pair well with the meal though. The Mac and cheese was good, but the Mexican corn was the star. So delicious and vibrant! read more

Love the wings and the flavors! They were even willing to work with us on catering an event. Everybody loved the flavors created.

We were greeted by our server soon after being seated. Our server was kind and very attentive, checking on us regularly. I had the sexy chicken and my husband had the chimichurri chicken sandwich. Both were very good and we would definitely order them again. The sandwich came with a dude of their in house pinwheel chips, which were surprisingly good. The sexy chicken is served with a side salad, very little vinaigrette dressing. It needed more dressing for flavor, but the radishes were nice to tame the heat from the chicken. For dessert we tried the banana pudding, since it is one of our favorite desserts. We were extremely dissatisfied with the banana pudding. It came in a plastic to-go container as if it were just purchased from a convenience store. Oddly, there were chocolate chips on top. The cup consisted mostly of the whipped cream. This is what knocked it down a star. I do not recommend wasting $6 of the cup of cool whip with chocolate chips they call banana pudding. read more

Service was excellent. They sat us right away on the second floor. Ambiance and lighting is cozy. Food was good. It is missing more sauce options as it can be a bit bland. All drinks (except cocktails) come in cans, no fountain drinks. Will give them a try again. read more

This is same outfit seen in Deep Elum District of Dallas, TX. Now open on Old Town Rowlett, TX Main Street at Rowlett Road in the former "Hacienda", a charming vintage home with covered patio, a small nice bar, and a 2nd floor dining room. Roasted chicken & Sides, and a full service bar, packed into a charming older building. Parking is off Rowlett Road, a bit tricky, on south side of the blue house. Staff is friendly and engaging. Big parties might have to arrange seating ahead of your visit. The menu is printed, and lighting is dim inside. Explore the online version before arriving. I picked "Sexy Chicken", side salad, and Poblano Mashed Potatos. Sexy? Maybe, a bit soggy. The kitchen is new here, so I will give them a break. The side salad & Poblano Mashtatos were awesome. read more

Great location and ambiance. Food was not what I expected menu stated brine chicken so I was expecting something very juicy and tender however food fell short of that very very very Bland. Food took a while to come out and when it was served it was lukewarm seem to be short staff for a Saturday evening Server was very friendly but stretched between the inside and the outdoor area. Gave it a try but will not come back. read more

The food is amazing. We love the atmosphere. The service is great. Anytime we are in that area, we stop by.

Went here last weekend before a concert to grab a bite. The music was so loud you couldn't hear the person sitting right next to me. I asked if they could please turn it down a little. She went over to I'm assuming the manager or just a fellow waitstaff person and came back to the table and said they couldn't turn it down! We left and went across the street!!! read more

Visit this place with my family a party of 10. Yeah, I'm never coming back to this place. They only serve canned drinks--no fountain drinks, no refills, and you have to buy a new can each time. They don't have any draft beer either. The menu is basically chicken, chicken, and more chicken. Really disappointing. I would be happy simply with a good cold draft beer but not at this place. I doing think this place will stay in business long. read more

Stopped in for a nightcap with my wife. They had live music out by the patio area but we opted for the bar since it was hot and muggy out. We were received by the bartender named Jeremy. It happened to be his first day and he crafted us up some non menu based cocktails. I had the espresso martini and he made my wife a fruity herbal mocktail. We both enjoyed the drinks. Jeremey was incredibly personable and we enjoyed our conversations and service by him. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

I know the location has only been open for what five weeks? But I have to say we were let down, we did sit in the bar. The staff started out friendly and perky, but it did go downhill from there. The drinks are overpriced, food was ok. The music was very loud, and not even a good choice actually, and the staff was not well trained. She couldn't figure out how to split checks, not to mention other people's food on our bill. The general manager (not pleasant) was just sitting at the end of the bar with his little crew having a good old time not even caring that staff was struggling on the kiosk. We were hoping the parking would be enlarged but no luck. We wish them luck but we won't be back. read more

Went to the Grand Opening. The chicken selection is legit, as well as the sides and dessert! We ordered several menu items for the table. I would highly recommend the Fried Chicken of course, the Mac & Cheese (has a subtle kick), and the Mexican Corn for sides. I have never experienced better service in a long time. I almost forgot to mention, their Cocktails are extraordinarily awesome. If you're looking for a date night place, the ambiance will definitely check all the boxes. Can't wait to go back! Amazing work guys!! read more

I really wanted to like this place and finally have a decent option near Rockwall that had good fried chicken. I can't say I found that place yet- I've NEVER had chicken thighs or legs SO dry. The green beans were loaded with onions (which dominated the flavor vs the green bean). The elotes were tepid at best, and seemed like canned corn was the base. Hushpuppies were also very dry and needed a knife to cut- came w/ranch vs advertised blue cheese, but I don't think it would have mattered as the butter is what was needed to help moisten the cornmeal. read more

We decided to try Brick & Bones Backyard in Rowlett, TX last Thursday night, and after only one visit I know we will be back again! We thought food was wonderful, and we didn't even order their signature entree, the fried chicken. I ordered the Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich. It was delicious, the breading on the chicken was fantastic, the bun was excellent, and the whole sandwich was huge. My wife ordered the Forbidden Chicken, and she absolutely loved it. The grilled chicken was mouth watering, and the forbidden rice medley was beyond great. I tried some of hers, and I think I'll probably get it next time. If you are looking for a healthier entree, this one is a keeper. The server was very helpful, attentive, and friendly, and the ambiance was pleasant was well. We are going to put Brick & Bones into our regular rotation, if not in person then through Uber Eats. This place is what I call a "repeater!" read more

We've ordered this for delivery two times now. The food traveled very well, especially for fried food. We ordered the original chicken, tenders, and a sampling of their sides. The chicken was still warm, crunchy, and juicy but needed more salt in the brine. The sides sounded really interesting but were a little underwhelming and needed more of their main flavor (e.g. more pablano in their pablano potatoes) along with more salt. Overall though, we enjoyed it. A great new addition to the area! read more
