    To-go menu.

    I'm rarely impressed and yet I was thoroughly impressed at Cafe Max. Went for lunch because all those Chicken Salad Chick commercials had me jonesin' for some chicken salad. My go to is usually MarketStreet for one of their very good chicken salad sandwiches in the to go case. That's not close enough for a Richardson lunch so I found Cafe Max via a Yelp search. They offer 8 different salads, sandwiches and a quiche and soup of the day in addition to desserts like brownies and cookies. Most people get the trio of pick your salad. I chose Caesar salad (huge and better than La Madeline), chicken salad and seafood salad. The Caesar was fresh and creamy. The chicken salad was delicious and consists of large strips of chicken, green bell strips, cucumber strips, apple strips and a sweet tangy dressing. The seafood salad is julienne strips of imitation crab in a creamy dressing and it's generous and phenomenal. The trio with both chicken and seafood is $15 which may seem high but consider the quality is high and the helpings are enough for either two people or two lunches it's very fair. I'm going to be returning with coworkers and will use this as my go-to for catering office working lunches. I used Jason's Deli last time and this blows it out of the water.

    The to-go line is quick since it's separate from the dine-in line. Portions are huge, so you get a lot of food. Be sure to try their muffin and cheesecake--they're amazing!

    Salad sampler was a good pick if you've never been there before and wanting to try it all!

    For a quick salad lunch this is a great spot. Dine-in still isn't an option at this time since they are short staffed but the to-go process is pretty quick and easy. If you are really in a crunch for time, you can call ahead 15 minutes and place your order to skip the line. They still enforce face masks and limit the number of people in the store (thank you!). My first time here, I wanted to try everything so I got the salad sampler which included a heft scoop of Cesar salad and 7 small scoops of the other types. I enjoyed them all and my least favorite one was the vegetable (probably because it was the healthiest one!).

    I recently made a return visit to Cafe Max after almost 16 years!! This mini cafeteria is near my old high school so some of my friends and I used to grab some on our way home. All these years later and it's still exactly the same!! They have a pretty limited menu, but let me tell you this: Cafe Max makes some of the best Caesar salad + pasta salad you will have ever tried. The caesar is made with the perfect amount of dressing, the croutons have a unique seasoning to them, and the dark green lettuce brings it all together for an addicting plate. I brought some over to my sister who is not a salad person, and Cafe Max has converted her. And the pasta salad. Well, it's creamy and perfect. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I love pasta salads and have eaten them my whole life, but the seasoning and flavors CM uses are incredible. Try it, trust me. COVID update: you must wear a mask to enter the small cafe. They are also offering carryout and catering.

    Omg the food here is to die for . They have a great vegan menu …read more We order from here regularly. I also love the vibe and the servers are super cool !

    Okay y'all! So bae and I went to Dallas and we had to come and try this place because it's highly…read morerecommended on TikTok. We finally made it. We ordered via online and realized they relocated. Of course we had to order multiple things to get a feel of their consistency. LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT; We ordered the Pineapple Juice - (8/10) : The juice was good Hisbicus Tea - (4/10) : The tea was made with cane sugar; that defeated the purpose of a healthy and delicious tea. I really wanted it to be made with agave or date syrup. Side of Cabbage- (4/10) : Cabbage was very bland for fried cabbage, its wasn't seasoned at all and it wasn't cooked through enough to my liking. Side of Fried Brussel Sprouts - (7/10) : Brussel Sprouts were decent and actually seasoned. They just weren't mind blowingly good so a 7 was the best I could give it. Vegan Jerk Oxtail with Mushroom Rice - (8/10) : This right here was great however it was giving more vegan meatloaf then it was oxtail. We had to think of it as a meatloaf for us to be fully satisfied with the flavor. Overall though it was good and we enjoyed it. Vegan Lobster Mac and Cheese - (9/10) : This was the STAR of the show. It was delicious, creamy and the lobster pieces actually were giving lobster lowkey. We enjoyed this one the most and would return just to get this. The Ambiance of the restaurant was cool and definitely would be worth sitting in and enjoying the meals. The decor was decent inside and inside the bathroom, however, the bathroom needs to be upgraded. My rating... DEFINITELY would recommend the Lobster Mac and Cheese, we will return to get it again and maybe try another vegan option. I would totally recommend, GO TRY IT OUT! They also have non-vegan options that others rave about!

It's a cool restaurant that has a lot of seating, and cool decor with Guitars displayed on the wall and a small stage for performers. We walked up to where you order. It was counter service and the guy that took our order was laid back. We paid, he gave us a number and then we chose a place to sit and waited for our food. We ordered several items to share. We started off with a charcuterie board that had meats, cheeses, nuts, fruit, and toasted bread. It was really good. The bread was able to hold the ingredients and was nice and crispy but not overly crispy. The meats were good and the different cheeses were flavorful with different textures. The fruit was fresh and the nuts were a nice crunchy addition. Very yummy start. We also shared the Tejas Nachos with Brisket. The Nachos come with tortilla chips covered in cheese, queso, jalapenos, tomatoes, and crema. They were okay. The Brisket was plentiful. There was a lot of cheese and queso spread out all over the nachos. It was a little too much. The chips got soggier the closer you got to the bottom of the pile. Our last shared item was the ZZ Top BBQ Flatbread. It was okay. It came with an overabundance of cheese. It also came with jalapenos, BBQ sauce, and we ordered it with Chicken. It was okay. The cheese was gooey but overwhelming. The jalapenos added a spicy flavor and the BBQ sauce was tasty. Overall the restaurant has a cool atmosphere with good service. The counter service, ordering and paying process was quick and easy. Everytime someone brought our food to us they were friendly. The food was okay and literally very cheesy.

We've been to other RG locations and this was similar to those. It wasn't overly busy, so we were promptly helped.

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.

There was plenty of seating at the restaurant with long tables, sit down tables, and outdoor seating. After choosing our table we waited 15 minutes before our waitresses showed up. They were very busy with the lunch rush so it took awhile between everything. It even took awhile to get our waters. One waitress was in training and learning from the other. The positive was that the waitresses were friendly throughout. After looking at the menu and waiting another 15 minutes we finally placed our order. We got our appetizer after waiting another 15 minutes. Thankfully that held us over until we got our burgers and fries. We started with tostada chips and queso. It was good and we ate it up pretty quickly. We requested another basket of chips to finish off the queso. To eat with our burgers we ordered hand punched fries and sweet potato fries. The hand cut fries were nice and thick and you could taste the salt. I enjoyed eating them with ketchup. The sweet potato fries were also thick and salty and you could taste the flavor of the potato. No need for ketchup with these fries unless you want it. For my burger I ordered the HL Hunt cooked medium which comes with white cheese, bacon, blackberry compote and mustard. The burger was filling, the cheese was melted but it had little flavor, and the bacon was chewy. The compote was my favorite part of the burger as it added a slightly sweet flavor. I requested a medium cooked burger but it didn't taste that way but it was still good despite that. Overall Rodeo Goat has lots of seating and friendly staff but I would go at an off peak time so that you don't have to wait a long time for everything. The food was still good despite the wait.

The initial arrival was entirely seamless, as I was able to secure a most convenient parking space directly on the street. Upon crossing the threshold, I must confess my initial impression was that the venue might be somewhat ordinary however, I was instantly disabused of that notion. The interior architecture features a truly magnificent, extensive collection of vintage typewriters alongside an absolutely breathtaking, grand display of fine wines. Having personal experience with typewriters from years past, I found their impressive stock to be thoroughly nostalgic, and the wine selection was nothing short of exciting. While the venue beautifully accommodates guests for delightful alfresco dining, I escorted myself inside to a highly comfortable table. The gentleman assisting me was exceptionally warm, providing a level of attentive hospitality that makes the entire excursion worthwhile. For my afternoon refreshment, I requested a crisp Blackberry Smash. While engaging in a brief, lovely conversation with the waiter, he elegantly suggested a curation of bruschetta pairings that would harmonize beautifully with the cocktail. On his superb guidance, I selected a quartet: the Goat Cheese & Spicy Pepper Jam, the Tomato & Mozzarella, the Apple Brie & Fig, and the French Onion Bruschetta. The kitchen executed the order with commendable precision. When the board arrived, the presentation was an absolute masterpiece and the entire flavor profile was a complete delight. The sophisticated combination of savory, sweet, and crisp textures left me thoroughly happy. It is an absolute treat of a destination, completely worthy of one's dining calendar. I am entirely enamored with this exciting new find and shall most certainly be returning
