Fully loaded fries - took a photo after eating most of them lol
Erin P.

AMAZING! Highly recommend the loaded fries and any of the sandwiches. Soo good. Didn't get a pic of the food until we had almost eaten it all.

FYI the chicken tenders are large. I got 5 and 3 was plenty. Depending on the spice level, honestly the Nashville hot was everything they said its flavor is on point. Now I would probably try the step down from there, next time. But, it was amazing. You can get it hotter, I am glad I didn't. The waffle fries were wonderful. Hot and crisp. The gentleman that took our order actually cared and talked to us, he was super nice. Asked us how our days was going. The bathrooms were completely clean. The restaurant was clean. It's newer so it was in good shape. :-)

Waffle fries

We stopped here on our way through town and color me impressed!! Everything was delicious. I got the grilled chicken and it was perfect. Most of the time Nashville chicken relies on hot oil but the chicken wasn't oily at all and was super flavorful. The waffle fries were top notch! And the service was great. It was a little pricey but as is everything these days. I will definitely be back!

This sandwich is drop dead fire! I mean you can control the heat on it with the different heat options, but whichever option is your flavor of choice rest assured you will be pleased. Simple stuff done right on this sandwich, not too much oil in the breading, bun was stable and not soggy which is so important to enjoy a good chicken sandwich, and lets not rule out the presentation which my photos don't do justice. They do go above and beyond here and you can tell the staff loves the product, as well. They keep the environment around here fun, casual, clean, and well organized. Perfectly done roosty toasty chicken sandwich!

As a lover of all forms of chicken, especially chicken tenders, had to come give this place a try. I like the different options that they offer including chicken sandwiches, grilled chicken, chicken tenders, chicken bites, and even salads. A couple different sauce options as well. What I didn't love was the price and the fast food level quality. The fries instantly reminded me of "that other company's" waffle fries and everything else seems like it was frozen and tossed into a fryer. In my opinion, this establishment would be better as a drive through. This does not have the same level of quality as a place like The Cookshack or Pluckers would have. Still pretty good, just a step down.

Location was easy to find, love the drive thru option. It's located almost across the street from Chick-Fil-A and like 3 doors down from Canes. Figured give it a shot, as the reviews looked good. Food: good, wasn't (wowed) but it was good overall. Got the fully loaded fries and than extra chicken tenders on the side. Lite Nashville Heat with their signature sauce. Fries were so-so. Crispy and loaded up really well. But the sauce had a sweet taste too it and I didn't like the combo of that on my fries. Strips alone were much better than on the fries. Service: doesn't compare to other places. Staff seemed in different to my being there. But my order was quick and hot, so I won't complain too much.

Chickie Bites

My husband, baby and I tried this for the first time today and all I can say is WOW. We walked in and Luis helped explain the menu, the different flavors, and what he recommended. We had a pretty difficult large order since we wanted our baby to try everything and he was so kind and patient the whole time. The food is amazing, the seasoning and sauces are 10/10. These are next level chicken nuggets

After unwrapping foil, it's kinda small.

Updated reviews, No Thank You. However, I really wanted to try their Chicken Sandwich! It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon! Guess, what I was craving? You guessed it, Chic fil-A. Their closed on Sundays so, I decided Rule the Roost would be the next best thing. Rule the Roost will be rated with three P's. The environment was PLEASANT, the service was PLEASANT and it was pleasure to see that their still open in times like these. Simply Country with no heat for $4.99 was what I ordered. It came with a fresh warm glossy bun with a well breaded crispy Chicken Breast and pickles. It's definitely not Chick- fil-A but, it's worthy giving them a try.

We thought this place was drive-thru only due to COVID, but the inside is (now) open. We chose to sit outside anyway on the picnic benches as the weather was beautiful. We ordered, the Nashville Hot and the Cheesy Chicken Sandwiches as well as 3 tenders on the side. Both the chicken sandwiches were great, the bun held up good and tasted nice to boot. The fried chicken breast was tender, the Nashville hot is a decent amount of heat, I don't know if I'd want to go any hotter as I still want to enjoy my meal! If you know what I mean!!! We both commented on how good the pickles were. Mine was the cheesy sandwich, which comes with queso cheese, I was expecting it to be dripping off the sandwich but you could barely see it; which was sad, the bun had soaked it up too. Nonetheless the sandwich was still very enjoyable. The tenders were good, and the heat level of Nashville Hot, had a sweetness to it that we hadn't noticed in the sandwiches. However, the meat was more tender in the sandwich than the tenders. I was disappointed the sauces were prepackaged 'Ken's' and not made in house - perhaps this is due to COVID. The waffles fries were ok, they weren't the hottest, I think they'd been sat on the line. Sodas are behind the counter, so the employees do the refills for you, however though only had the standard Coke products. Prices were decent.

The young woman at the register was very nice while taking our order and patient as it was our first time. The inside was a bit tight, yet welcoming but understandable for a small local business. The young lady brought out half our order. I had asked for the chicken to be warm on my salad, it was not. No biggy the flavor was good. But we had gotten about half way through our meal and the rest of the order was not out. My wife waited in line to ask about it. When she got to the register an older woman was very short and dismissive with her. My wife put in a second order for my daughter, to go. The rest of our order did not come out till our to go order did. My wife was not happy with the dismissive attitude so she went to the car. I went up to order dessert and the same older woman was not very personable while taking my order.

The oldest sub shop in Texas is not a title you stumble into, and one visit makes it clear they've earned it. First, the parking situation, because someone has to say it. The spots up front are scarce and competitive. Don't give up, there's additional parking in the back with its own entrance. File that away before you go, or you'll spend ten minutes circling a strip that has not gotten larger since the 1970s. And speaking of the 1970s, the interior leans fully into its vintage identity. Small, dark, and unapologetically retro, it feels like a sub shop that missed the memo on modern restaurant design and decided it didn't care. Honestly, respect. Now, the subs. Galligaskin's cuts their own meat and cheese in house and bakes their rolls fresh daily, which is the kind of thing that sounds like marketing until you take a bite and realize it actually matters. The roast beef and cheese, loaded with toppings, is a proper sandwich. The house-made Galli Oil and pickled pepper finish that goes on every sub is the secret weapon - not spicy, just deeply flavorful, the thing that makes each bite a little better than the last. We also tried the burger, which came as a genuine surprise. A sub shop doing a burger well feels like it shouldn't work, but here we are, soft bun, flavorful patty, no notes. For sides, the Tater Tots are the undisputed champion of the table. Crispy shell, fluffy interior, the ideal tot. The fried okra was a strong runner-up, well breaded and served with ranch. The French fries, however, were a swing and a miss. They looked the part, golden, fresh cut, promising - and then arrived soggy. A limp fry is a tragedy in any zip code, and these were no exception. No one wants a sad potato. Order the tots. Skip the fries. You've been warned. Galligaskin's in the real deal, a Fort Worth original that's still earning its reputation one fresh-baked roll at a time. One last night: they're closed on Sundays, so plan accordingly. A cruel fact to discover in the parking lot.

This particular spot is a deli sandwich place; they do have some standout choices, but I was craving tuna, so I ordered their Pacific Blue (Tuna Melt). Loved that they toasted the buns; it was good but didn't wow me. They skimped on the cheese and didn't add the jalapeños I requested. Service was incredibly slow, but there was a huge rush-hour crowd, so I'll overlook it. All in all, the theme is cool. Loved that they had vendors and music available the day we went; it gave us an opportunity to have something to do while we waited. I did spot board games, but naturally didn't think we'd need them. The goo ball was overly buttery and definitely had peanut butter. It was good for the first couple of bites but I quickly tossed it afterward once it became too much. If a deli is your thing, give it a try. I'm sure on any other given day they'd be better at delivering a sandwich with everything.

Fantastic choice! The menu is very "urban hipster" vibes. Plenty of burgers, lots of fun appetizers, charcuterie, one of my friends has some dietary restrictions and they were easily able to accommodate her needs which made us all very happy. This spot has a great bar in the front, and a smaller bar in the rear of the place. Outdoor seating as well as covered seating. Plenty of shade as well which will serve their patrons nicely in the coming Texas summer months. This is also a dog friendly dining spot, plenty of people were there with some amazing canine companions (always ask before you pet a strangers pup, it's just polite and courteous. Almost no one says No!). Assuming you don't have a dog allergy, this will hopefully be a feature. There is a relatively new apartment complex across the street and I get the feeling a lot of the people stopping in were regulars who bring in their dogs during walkies and grab a bite before heading back home, but that is just pure conjecture on my part. Either way, it was a fun inviting atmosphere. The music was nice, not too loud for my old man ears to enjoy but still present enough to be part of the evening without being intrusive. Staff was very nice, helpful, friendly, etc. Everything one would expect from a fine Texas eatery. Lots of spicier options on the menu if you're into that, but by no means anything overpowering. My guess is the owner has stock in some jalapeno growers farm somewhere and the food is all the better for it! If you're in the area already or if you're thinking of branching out for a nice new burger spot, this place is great and I will be returning. I live nearby so it'll likely become part of the regular rotation for us in the coming months. We are spoiled for choice in this area when it comes to good burgers being close to Grumps, close to Kincaid's, and close to Tommy's up on Camp Bowie. But this place competes on good burgers and if you're looking for a fun hangout atmosphere, you'd be hard pressed to find better. Easily recommended! Give them a try, I don't think you'll regret it! Cheers!

I called a girlfriend and told her I'd found a new spot: wine, charcuterie boards, and live music. Sounded like a perfect evening. When we arrived, a young employee did her best to find the hostess and get us seated. After a few minutes, she honestly seemed more flustered than we were, she apologized and offered to seat us herself. We got settled, I ordered a margarita, and then I noticed a large dog roaming around. No leash, no owner in sight. (Later found out the owner owns the bar, the regulars are very familiar with the dog) I looked down at the menu, then looked back up, and the dog was literally face-to-face with me. We got up to leave immediately. A dog-friendly patio? Sure. That's completely fine. But allowing a dog to freely roam throughout both the outdoor patio and the covered upstairs area is baffling to me. (My last visit a dog was on the table, I assumed the young staff just didn't know how to approach the situation, but tonight shows this is how Hideaway operates day in and day out) When I explained my concern to the waitress, she said she understood and asked me to close out my tab for the one margarita I had just ordered and hadn't touched. No ma'am. I'd been there less than ten minutes, and for me, this crossed a line. Clearly, some guests enjoyed it. I saw people petting the dog and calling it over. Different preferences, and that's their choice. But mine is different. I won't be back, and if I recommend this place to anyone, it will come with a warning: dogs aren't just allowed here- they appear to have free rein of the space, whether that's on tabletops, near your food, or directly in your personal space, whether you want that interaction or not.

I felt like the sandwich should've been bigger for that price and also the amount of potato salad should've been larger since they charge an upgraded for it. Came in about 5 PM on a Saturday evening, but there was only a handful of the customers I think maybe four other small parties. But there still was quite a bit of waiting for your food. The Parking at the location could be a little bit better? I think McAllister's grills a little bit better choice. It's cheaper plus they give you larger portion.
