    Sweet Potato fries
    Nicholas F.

    We had lunch here on a Monday afternoon and sat outside on the patio. I thought the swings for benches was a neat idea and the view of the lake is incredible. We ordered the sweet potato fries and they came out hot and delicious. The ranch dressing was excellent as well. I ordered the Levi's Blue Jean Burger and it was pretty decent but the blue cheese wasn't the best, and the burger could've tasted meatier for a double patty burger. Overall we had an amazing experience and our waitress Gianna was excellent and provided amazing quick service. I would recommend Rodeo Goat out of all the restaurants here at the harbor if you're coming to enjoy the scenery and good food.

    CHEESE FRIES NO SURPRISE
    Amanda R.

    This location is great one to visit. The patio has a great waterfront view. There was a little bit of a wait, but well worth it. Cheese fries were delicious. Service was fast and our waitress checked up on us a lot. Drinks were good! I would definitely go back.

    We were visiting Rockwall and decided to give Rodeo Goat a shot for dinner. This spot definitely leans into its casual, lively Texas charm. It has a fun, loud, and bustling atmosphere with a gorgeous view of Lake Ray Hubbard. I can imagine the patio being a prime hangout in the cooler months, especially with that waterfront breeze. The restaurant operates on a seat-yourself system, which sounds simple enough, until it isn't. On our Wednesday evening visit, the place was packed, and it took a bit too long for servers to notice new tables and get menus out. We also noticed a bit of a lag in getting tables wiped down and flipped for waiting guests. There are a few TVs scattered around for the sports fans, which adds to the upbeat, casual vibe. Now, let's talk food--burgers are clearly the star here, and they do them well. My husband ordered the BILLY F GIBBONS (formerly the Bad Hombre), which came stacked with candied bacon, caramelized onions, gouda, mango pico, cream cheese, and trailboss sauce. He noted the mango pico had a nice kick without being overwhelming, and surprisingly the gluten-free bun actually tasted good (a rare feat for anyone GF). I went with the RAY HUBBARD, topped with white cheddar, candied bacon, blackberry compote, and bourbon mustard. The patty was juicy, the bun soft, and while the combo sounded like magic, the bourbon mustard really overpowered the dish. I was hoping for more from the blackberry compote. It was barely there, which was disappointing because it could've added a great balance to the richness. We split an order of sweet potato fries, which were crispy and well-seasoned. Also, bonus points: they don't skimp on the ice in their tea, which is the kind of little detail I absolutely notice and appreciate in Texas heat. A quick note for my fellow gluten-free diners: they do offer GF buns, even though it's not noted on the menu. Just be cautious if you have a true allergy because fried sides share a fryer, so cross-contamination is a risk. Overall, this was a satisfying stop with flavorful burgers, a high-energy vibe, and fair prices. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to hit another Rodeo Goat location, but this visit left us full and happy.

    It was a cold day and we were celebrating a birthday. The seating was a bit cramped, but we did fine and in a way it made it easier to talk to each other. Our server was friendly but getting our drinks was a bit slow. Once I got my rattle snake I was quite pleased. The food is always top notch, never an issue. I always get the battle of the burger because it's so fun to try a new burger. Their goat chips are my absolute favorite and I wish those were bottomless. Their ranch is always a must regardless of what you get.

    Rip Wheeler with sweet potato fries
    Angel G I.

    We were down in this area to visit family and my niece and her husband brought us here to eat. What a great menu and awesome selection of specials burgers. We had Texas Caviar as our app and I had the build your own burger and everyone else had the Ripp Wheeler burger. We all had the hand cut fries as well as separate order of sweet potato fries. Our server was great and made sure our food came out great. My burger was cooked just right. Next time we're here to visit family we will come back .

    BODACIOUS (2 patty)
    Nick C.

    Came with some friends for my first time and had a great experience. I ordered the Bodacious burger and it was delicious. The bbq sauce was sweet with a hint of spice from the jalapeños paired well together with the crunch from the onions. I ordered mine with 2 patty and it was so delicious I ordered it twice. The service was quick and the staff is very friendly. I look forward to going back. Great ambiance outside by the water.

    If it's Rodeo Goat it's Burger Time

    I haven't had a bad burger( ie anything less than delectable) at any Rodeo Goat. Go! Furthermore, extensive menu of burgers from basic straight up world class cheeseburger to everything but the kitchen sink. Fries onion rings,in house tots,potato chips,salads etc. Really exceptional

    Todd L.

    Damian is the BOMB!! His suggestions were on point! I enjoyed my drink (rattlesnake) better get one while you're here!! The loaded cheese fries were absolutely delicious. He works his butt off and very attentive. I'd definitely recommend this location for fast serve and smiles. We enjoyed everything about our experience Clean, nice place

    Cow Patty dessert.
    wendy s.

    Always clean. Service attentive. The BL-TX whisky drink always amazing. Tried the Cow Patty ( chocolate & pecan TX sheet cake, served warm with vanilla ice cream) for the first time. The cake was very moist on its own and the pecans and ice cream on top were perfect. VERY SADLY had to take off a star for the dry overcooked Nanny Goat burger. That being said it is the first and only time in many many times that I have been to multiple locations that this is ever happened. I would typically give the nanny goat a good 13 out of 10 but today's sadly it became a six and a half to seven out of 10. Everything about the rest of the visit was absolutely wonderful. I would still absolutely recommend this restaurant and this location.

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.

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.

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.
