I've heard good things about this place, but my experience was just okay. We had a reservation for…read moreSunday brunch, but still ended up waiting ~ 40 minutes before being seated. After our 3rd attempt at getting an update on table availability, we ending up speaking with another staff member who sat us almost immediately. The original hostess was young and seemed inexperienced in coordinating for large parties (8 ppl). The delay wasn't an availability issue, but a lack of critical thinking. After being seated, our moods definitely turned up, and kudos to our waiter who was energized and had a great attitude. She was also very helpful with menu recommendations. I ordered the Pot Roast Hash - it was an extremely large portion and I love that they didn't skimp on the beef. The overall taste was decent, nothing to write home about. I think the sauce was thicker than I expected and a bit overwhelming. The table seemed to have an enjoyed their meals and everything looked delicious. Because of that, it may be worth coming back.

(We had one person in our party not receive their dinner due to a misunderstanding but they handled it well.) The food : The honey glazed salmon was cooked beautifully, and so was the broccolini. Seasoning was well balanced. BUT the rice underneath it was a miss. It was having an identity crisis. Not exactly sure what they were aiming for: Spanish rice ? Mexican rice ? Not a risotto, but certainly mush. The dish could do without this element. The pizza : the crust was more bread than crust. The sauce was good and the cup pepperoni is our favorite pepperoni. If you like a doughy bread type pizza you may like this. We like ours thinner and crispier with a chewy crust. The crust was bland. The Steak frites: order it! Best dish of the night. I would have ordered mine medium rare but I tried my husband's order which was more well done and it was still soft as flavorful. Next time I'm ordering my own and not sharing. The wine: we had a nice bottle of the Chenin blanc. It was aromatic, light and crisp. Everything I expected from a Chenin blanc. Amazing on a hot spring/summer night. They do have a good wine list that won't break the bank! Ambiance: I'm a fan! Dark and moody without being too dark and moody. They had live music and although a little loud for conversation if you're in the mood for a nice night out and don't want to drive to mesquite/dallas this is the place.

We took my dad to dinner and he complained that it was a little loud, but felt like we sat right under a speaker. I explained to him that it was part of the "vibe". Other than the volume making it difficult to hear, everything was fantastic. We probably could have asked to sit on the heated patio. The chips were warm and fresh and came with both red and green salsa, and both were super tasty. My husband asked if I could make salsa like that at home! We ordered drinks and they came quickly. I appreciated the quality of the drinks especially since we mostly ordered from their drink menu. We ordered "The Good Guac" to start and our server made sure that it wasn't too spicy or anything for my dad. I thought that was very thoughtful that she asked if how it came was ok. For food we ordered street tacos, Baja fish tacos and the parillada en fuego. The food runner seemed confused and brought us another dish (maybe the Verde molcajete) but with the loud music the message that we didn't order it was lost in translation. My husband thought maybe it was what he ordered and started in. Because our server came to check on us so quickly, she caught the mistake right away. She apologized profusely and said they were bringing what we ordered. They allowed us to keep the dish, and no sooner did we have a few bites of the deliciousness the correct food came out. They checked on us quickly, apologized profusely, brought the correct food immediately, let us keep the other food, sent another manager to apologize and finally followed up with coupons to return after making sure we were satisfied with how they handled it. I understand humans make mistakes, so I feel like the recovery or response is what is important. This is the type of amazing service that will keep us coming back. We were actually happy with the mistake as we were able to try another dish we likely wouldn't have ordered (but ended up being our favorite thing to eat). The ambiance was fun, parking was easy, the wait was reasonable, the service was FANTASTIC, the food was delicious and food/drinks were made with quality ingredients. We'll be back!

The hostess was proactive and friendly, but once me and 4 of my other girlfriends got seated is where the nightmare started. Our waitress Tania from get go was unprofessional, unfriendly and treated our table like is was a pain to serve us. The service was so terrible that we requested to see the manager 3 times, and she would say " No, no worries, I will take care of everything, no need to ask for the manager" We had our reservations were for 6PM, and we didn't get to do the actual food order till 7:15PM. I can go on and on about our horrible experience, but honestly it's not worth my time to continue with this Spanish soap opera. I been to Vidorra before and I had wonderful service, but this waitress Tania, really needs some customer service lessons. Our ladies's night out started and ended with a bad taste on our mouth. Never again!

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

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