    Kids meal
    Candy R.

    I used to dine in here a lot when this was the old bbq spot. It's the same concept under another name with great food! I came here late night for my birthday dinner, the decor is a nice and the staff was very friendly. They always give peanuts and sunflower seeds as an appetizer which is nice. I got the seafood boil with snow crab and shrimp, sausage, corn, egg and potatoe. 10/10 very flavorful and cooked to perfection. My baby got a kids meal with chicken nuggets, fries, fruit and a milk drink. We got a milk tea to share. They offered me a complimentary strawberry drink for my birthday. I'll definitely be back to try the bbq skewers next time.

    The $88 feast is worth it! I enjoyed the crawfish very much and the feast kept me filled up. The skewers were flavorful especially the chicken skin skewers. Nice ambience and clean space.

    BBQ me up!

    Wow! I was not expecting to love this restaurant as much as I did. First things first, Evan you are an asset to the business. He was helpful, patient, and I watched him treating every guest the same. Food 10/10. Service 10/10. I love the homey feeling, the ambiance, and the big screen music background. The servers were so kind and pleasant to everyone and most of them are young. Great job guys! I will be back.

    Knocked out 2 stars ... I saw the ad on Facebook that GAO Bbq has $1 big lamb skewer before 6.30pm. We went to this Frisco location and were told the happy hour $1 big lamb skewer is only available at Allen location. So yeah go to Allen location guys !

    First, the service was not great at all. I wish they would have explained the experience or the menus. The food also was not good (imo) because it was all one flavor, vegetables, meats, and all. However, The ambiance was cute and interesting and with tweaks to food and service they could improve!

    Amazing good restaurant. The food is delicious! The service is great! Highly recommended

    Believe they just opened not long ago. Food was okay, can't say there was much of service because after they brought you food that was it. Water bottle/glass in the table. Prices are on the pricey side. Seasoning for all food is pretty much the same.

I was big on their jumbo lump crab cake since they do an amazing job at it until I discovered their crab fried rice - even more delicious. Lots of butter but the crab flavor is all over the rice too (could be a little spicier). I tried their point judith calamari and the ginger poured soy sauce table side is A++++++. I dipped each calamari in that instead of pouring, it was that delicious. Of course I got the banana foster butter cake, it's not a complete experience without it! Overall my favorites are Lobster fried rice Ginger poured soy sauce Banana foster cake (I've had this 5+ times by now)

We had a reservation, and the staff had decorated our table for the birthday celebration, which was a really nice touch and made my wife feel appreciated. We started with the Wagyu appetizer and the lobster bisque, and both were outstanding. The Wagyu was incredibly tender, and the lobster bisque was rich, flavorful, and probably one of the best I've ever had. For our entrees, we ordered the filet mignon with lobster and the ribeye with lobster mac and cheese. Honestly, every bite was amazing. The steaks were cooked perfectly, the lobster was fresh and buttery, and the lobster mac and cheese was unforgettable. A lot of times, fancy restaurants have a great atmosphere but the food doesn't quite live up to the hype. Eddie V's was the complete opposite. The service, presentation, and most importantly the food were all exceptional. I can honestly say it's some of the best food I've ever had.

She was informative told me the entire history of the restaurant and has a true passion for what she does The food absolutely makes! This is literally transported me back to the oceanfront on the seashore. The best lobster I've had since the area! I loved that they actually had their proper migonette served with oysters that were chilled and properly shucked... I spent twice the amount of money, a big name and this almond pot defend and restaurant and teach all of them! Walking out the simple effective decorated restaurant really felt like I was gonna walk back out to the beach and feel spray hitting my face. Well, done!

    We heard about this place & since we were in the area so tried it for lunch…read more.. We were seated immediately near the kitchen. Rolando was our server he was attentive & gave us good service. We ordered cioppino & rainbow trout grilled with mashed potatoes & corn as our sides. Trout was finely prepared nicely grilled & seasoned. Loved the corn with chipotle seasoning it went very well with the fish & potatoes were good. But Cioppino was not how it's usually prepared the broth seemed very light , seasoning was not up to the mark & the mussels were ok ... had better mussels in other places... it's a seafood place so we were expecting nice juicy mussels but the meat in clams & mussels were extremely small.... That was a let down... we did take the leftover broth to have it later but it didn't tasted good ( turned very sour) so threw it away... Maybe it was one of the off day but we felt disappointed... will try something else if we visit again.

My husband and I stopped by on a weekday around 4:30 pm for happy hour before dinner elsewhere, and luckily, we were able to snag a seat on the patio. All the seating at the bar was already taken at this point. We ordered the dynamite shrimp, some oysters, the cheeseburger, and some drinks. I usually start with the bleu & gold martini (or two). My husband tried the stone fruit martini, but they put a super sour sugar rim on his, which made it EXTREMELY hard to drink. I've ordered this at the Addison location before and never had this rim, so I'm not sure if it is typical at the Frisco location or if it was just when we went. The food was all great- the dynamite shrimp was good, but nothing spectacular. Some of the batter ended up being soggy and a few shrimp pieces were rather small. The cheeseburger was amazing, as always! Overall, the food and service were great, and we will definitely be back again!

It is a very cute restaurant and the ambiance is very calm. Chicken parm: This dish was alright. There is a lot of cheese on the dish which can be overpowering. The marinara sauce is very light which I enjoy. They were out of pasta so I did not get the full experience with this dish. Moreover, I still had to pay full price even though half my dish was missing. Burger: The burger is great! It is extremely juicy and I loved the thousand island dressing on it. It is a great portion and tons of flavor. I loved getting truffle fries on the side with this burger! It came with a huge seasoned pickle on the side which was too sour for me. I also liked the trio dipping sauces, which included ranch, ketchup, honey mustard. Honey mustard was the best with the fries!

They have a great happy hour with awesome staff here at the bar area, which is open seating. The cocktails are excellent, and what I would want when paying a higher dollar for drinks.

    1 Star After…read morespending thousands of dollars at this Truluck's location over the years, and being a Trulucks Dallas customer for over 10 years, I was shocked by how I was treated by the Plano Manager Ali during my most recent visit. I've had only 2 food issues over the years. On one occasion, I sent back a poor-quality prime rib. On another, my lobster was overcooked and had to be replaced. Both were legitimate quality concerns that any restaurant of this caliber should address. During this visit, I ordered the crab flight, which was advertised as including three different types of crab at 1/2 pound each. One of the crab selections was clearly not a 1/2-pound portion. After waiting approximately 15 minutes and requesting to speak with the manager three separate times, Ali finally came to the table. Instead of listening to my concern or attempting to resolve the issue, he immediately became dismissive and told me there was nothing they could do. His justification was that "they have tried to help me in the past," apparently referring to previous occasions when the restaurant corrected legitimate mistakes with my meals. He offered no solution, no effort to verify the portion, and no interest in retaining a loyal customer. The interaction was abrupt, rude, and unprofessional. I felt singled out and targeted simply for bringing a valid concern to management's attention. What was most disappointing wasn't the portion issue itself--it was the complete lack of customer service and respect from a manager at a restaurant that positions itself as a fine dining establishment. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I can no longer recommend this location.
