Disclaimer. I'm not a nightclub party guy so I can't speak on the nightlife or bands. However, I'm a transplant from the Gulf Coast and I found my crawfish spot. I've had crawfish here for about 5 times since late February and they are legit. Very juicy, boiled and seasoned to perfection. It made me feel like I was SW Louisiana visiting my kinfolk lol. As for the service. No complaints. Each of the young ladies at the bar were very nice and attentive. But man, I need to shake that cook's hand. That brother knows his craft read more

Well, things happen for a reason and that's how we ended up here! We had come over to area to try an extremely popular spot (next door). The line there was out the door and around the corner. So, the long short of it is we never made it there! That said, we started with a few drinks here & played a fun table toss game. The staff were so friendly! Our server was attentive and accommodating throughout our entire time there. We even met the GM who was also super to talk too and little did we know how much we had in common with him. Since that line at the other eatery never really went down; we decided to stay and have dinner here. I had received a small sample earlier of their seafood étouffée, so that was an absolute must & went with a cup! My husband and I spilt their calamari which were large pieces cooked to perfection. Got a side of their cajun butter dip (additional fee) that took these over the top. My husband got two jalapeno poppers, he inhaled and their fried pickles that were a good size portion & super tasty. The dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. Friendly, welcoming environment- relaxed no pressure or rushed restaurant. It was unfortunate we missed out on the other spot, but fortunate enough that we discovered this spot & would definitely come back again. Get that étouffée, but in a bowl it's a MUST! LOL *NOTE- many patrons frequent this place & do come in to just purchase adult beverages too, to take over to the other establishment as they do not serve alcohol. This is absolutely acceptable and approved by BOTH businesses so they do welcome & work very well together regardless which one you end up at. read more

Let's face it--there aren't many places in Frisco where you can truly let your hair down. Revel, however, was a refreshing change of pace. The crowd was diverse, lively, and anticipating a good time. With Emerald City Band scheduled to perform later that night, the energy was already building and the place was filling up fast. Since we weren't there for the show and just wanted to grab a couple of drinks and a bite to eat, we opted for the back patio bar--and it was the perfect choice. The staff was genuinely cool: super attentive, friendly, and actually engaged with the guests. Even as the bar packed out after our first round, the bartenders made sure to keep checking in on us, which never went unnoticed. We ordered the crawfish dip along with the blackened fish tacos topped with pickled coleslaw. Both were flavorful and satisfying--the tacos had a great balance of spice and crunch that really hit the spot. And then came dessert. The toffee bread pudding topped with bourbon caramel glaze and vanilla ice cream was hands-down the highlight of the meal. Warm, indulgent, and absolutely worth every bite. Revel feels like the kind of place you can come to watch a game, hang out with friends, or just enjoy a fun night out without overthinking it. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back, trying more of the menu, and catching a game or two next time. read more

The service was lovely! Shoutout to Luke! The outside patio was great as my husband enjoys smoking cigars and they have a large smoking area. The food... it's what you'd expect! Stick with the bar food, in our opinion. read more

First time eating here... really enjoyed the boil, but still left hungry. All about paying the prices for the seafood as they have, it's the add ons that are ridiculous. 1 corn and 2 potato's for 5.50 is just ridiculous. 2 potato's for 2.99 and 2 corn for 2.99? We know how much we pay for this stuff... I get an upcharge but would look at making this more economical. Keep those prices fair... I'd come back often. Gumbo was awesome. Cheesesteak was good. It was slow on Saturday with only 2 tables at noon... server stays up front with other server and talks... 2 times I think the mgr or cook came out to tell them food was up. Stay focused on business...food sat in window I am thinking, fries were cold and kids pizza was. read more

Quandary with this review. We enjoyed the food and saw many other things we would order in the future. The service was very good. We were taken well care of. Rarely did we have to flag someone down for a refill. We paid to have a table of four to see Heartbreakers and Matchbook 20. The bands had consist issues with the sound system; specifically with the sound being fed to them. It was obvious with the first band that they were struggling to stay in sync with the issues. The quandary is that I dont know if I should pay for reserved seats again. Unknown if this is a frequent issue or not. I have never experienced a show with these problems before. read more

The whole thing was awful. The service - non existent. The food - mediocre at best The drinks- also bad The restaurant was empty and still we couldn't get someone to help us. After we left we had to go somewhere else to eat bc we left hungry the portion sizes were minimal. read more

Went there last night to watch a couple bands play, it was my first time there. Way better than I expected. This place has a great sound system and a lot of room to move around. The service was great, we didn't have any issues keeping our glasses filled. When you walk in you enter the main bar / venue. Off to the left is another room that has pool tables and another bar. There is a very large patio with its own bar as well. They had roll clear covers to keep the chilly weather out. Was very comfortable. Parking is not bad, but there are other parking lots within walking distance. Thumbs up. read more

We were 100% ready to roll up to a sports bar and have excellent food. Needless to say we were BLOWN AWAY! Aside from a really strong menu at Revel, they have a "Mud Bug" New Orleans concept running in the back with an exceptional patio. Both menus are strong and I am pleased to report the food is really on point. We sat at the Revel bar in the late afternoon, music played softly in the background and the TVs had a variety of things playing. Beer selection good, full bar. Strong menu choices and you can order from either menus which was great. We had the Cajun menu items and they were all done quite well and actually were a very fair price. Food was quick to the bar, and very good. Not too spicy. Strongly recommended! read more

Revel is hands down one of my favorite spots! The atmosphere is always lively and welcoming, and there's usually something fun going on -- whether it's a special event or just a great crowd that makes the night memorable. The food is surprisingly upscale and tastes amazing. Every dish I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented -- definitely a step above what you might expect. Kaya behind the bar deserves a special shoutout. She's friendly, fast, and makes you feel taken care of from the moment you walk up. Even when it's busy, she keeps things moving with a smile. Between the great food, fun events, and genuinely friendly service, Revel is always a solid choice. Highly recommend! read more

Kaya was AMAZING today! Made a rainy Valentine's Day, the best one!!!!! Come see miss girl if you're in town!!!! Perfect experience! Great service 11/10! read more

What a great time at The Revel! 80's Gadgets were awesome! The service was stellar! Will be coming back!

Last night was one of the most disappointing live music experiences I can remember paying for. I came to Revel in Frisco specifically to see Emerald City--a band that has been known in Dallas for years for excellence: strong vocals, tight musicianship, and some of the best horn players around. That reputation is the only reason my group drove from Dallas to Frisco and paid $50 per person for a VIP table of seven ($350 total). Unfortunately, what we experienced was embarrassing--both for the venue and for a band that once set a very high standard. To start, the venue experience itself was misleading. I had never been to Revel before and wrongly assumed that a $350 VIP table meant an upscale music venue. It is not. Revel is essentially a large, crowded bar with TVs everywhere, wooden floors and tables, and a packed layout that made it difficult to even move once seated. Think Road House--minus the cage. Despite calling ahead and explaining that we had dinner reservations and were coming only for Emerald City (not the dueling pianos that started at 5:30), we were met with confusion about start times and warnings that our table might not be held. To their credit, the staff did hold the table until 8:30 as promised, but we arrived to a tightly packed VIP section with little room and no clear service. The dueling pianos played until around 8:45 and were, frankly, unimpressive. My guests were already questioning why we had driven all this way--but I reassured them that Emerald City would make it worth it. They did not. Emerald City didn't begin playing until after 9:30, and from the very first song it was clear something was seriously wrong. The sound mix was atrocious. The bass and drums were so loud they drowned out everything else. The horn section--arguably one of Emerald City's strongest calling cards--was almost completely inaudible. The singers were forced to scream just to be heard, and even then the vocals were strained, off, and painful to listen to. This wasn't a "bad night" or a minor technical issue. This was a full set that never recovered. I kept expecting them to adjust, recalibrate, or find their footing--but it never happened. Service only added to the frustration. We could not find our server most of the night and had to track down another staff member just to order and eventually close out our tab. Ultimately, we left during Emerald City's set because we simply couldn't justify staying any longer. As we stood outside regrouping and laughing in disbelief at how bad the experience was, a large number of people poured out of the venue--shaking their heads, visibly frustrated, clearly leaving early as well. We weren't alone. I haven't seen Emerald City perform in a few years, but based on last night, I would not intentionally go see them again. Whatever made them great in the past was not present here--whether due to sound management, venue limitations, or the performance itself. This was a complete waste of time, money, and expectations--for me and my guests. I truly hope both the venue and the band take this feedback seriously, because what happened last night should never happen at this level of pricing or reputation. read more

Visited The Revel for the first time tonight. Originally we weren't happy about having to choose another restaurant, after our first choice had too long of a wait. But after traveling all around the country and visiting 178 Triple D locations, Ive come to realize that its never just about the food, but the overall experience. While our food was good, it was enhanced by the amazing service for our waitress Chrisslynne. Her warm, cheerful attitude and her attention to detail was comparable to someone that works at a 5 Star restaurant. Her people skills, resourcefulness and personal attention really made us wonder why she wasnt working at Nuri or Monarch. Overall, it was simply a great night thanks to her. read more

So I posted a yelp review about how bad the food was and definitely how bad the manager/maybe owner don't really know because I once was a regular there and not once has he ever asked how are we doing hope you are enjoying your time but the second I posted that review and decided to give it another try. He never came and said hey I hear you had a bad experience here...nope all he said was are you going to take down your review because it pissed a lot of ppl off. He never came up to me respectfully and asked what we did wrong or in better terms what he did wrong . He is still thinks his shit doesn't stink. Be a man and come and talk to me like a man or a person that cares about the establishment. I tried to give it second chance to see if maybe he would be interested in having a real conversation about what I feel was wrong but he was more concerned about telling to take down a review and again not about the patrons that come to his place. I love going there the bar staff and servers are amazing it's a fun place. He makes it difficult and now he has make a bigger problem then what it should have been...plus I did take down my previous post to show that I wanted to give this place a second chance. He showed no care in how I felt or cared. read more

If you could rate a place at 2.5 stars I would. Anytime we go here the question always is the same "do we want to put up with the horrible service?" The food is solid, we really enjoyed the crawfish and everything else, just not sure why they can't figure out the service aspect of it, waitstaff just seems to disappear, drinks sit empty, you ask for things and never get them, have to ask multiple times, it's actually a shame, the food is the hard part, service should be a no brainer, I'm starting to think this is just their shtick, like some sort of play on Dicks Last Resort. read more

Drove up from Round Rock (6 hour round trip) to see Pink Floyd tribute band. Texas Floyd. I would give them a 4 outta 10. I left at 11:35 The Rush Tribute band was Awesome! Incredible how spot on the vocals were. I would give The Revel a 10. Very polite staff, the place was Very Clean. The food was delicious. There's a game room, an outdoor patio, even that corn hole game. Going to rate the experience with 5 Stars excluding Texas Floyd. read more

Revel Patio Grill - Excellent Music venue - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Revel is very overpriced from the start with the $20 plus cover charge for the slightly festive yet stodgy rock and roll sports environment, talented yet gimmicky and kitschy tribute cover bands, and other gimmicks. They even charge far more than the entrance fee or general admission ticket price depending on other certain contingencies that are available such as specific seating on a barstool with or without backrests. On occasion they will send you a 10% coupon inviting you to return to their events which is probably only limited for an online purchase and doesn't help much when the prices keep escalating. Their small concert stage is equipped with a mostly good sound system, lasers, lights, special effects, and jumbo screens. The sound can get very loud so ear protection could be an important factor. Unfortunately, the cover band schedule can get confusing as to who will be opening the show and who will headline last. The overly expensive cuisines, desserts, and drinks listed on their enormous menu look very delicious and amazing but at least an appetizer, dessert, or sample should have been included as part of the high entrance fee or cover band ticket. Kooky customer service is a wild mixed bag that ranges from arrogant to rude to spooky to friendly to helpful. The greeters or hosts especially at the front are really spooky and kooky. The venue is too small, stodgy, limited, and pretentious for the type of sports stadium elitist prices and elitist attitudes. We all love the classic rock songs and theatrics from an obsolete and antiquated era so this is entertaining at times yet Revel seems fixated on demanding as much money from me as possible by use of ostentatious gimmickry, kitschy cover bands, and insanely high prices. Thank you for the fun time though. read more

I don't understand how the place stays in business with their model? I spend $75 for two seats, am told you have to be there before 7 or you forfeit your seat, but the band doesn't come on until 9? Terrible process, I guess their goal is to put a bunch of enebierated people on the street after the show. read more

I bought tickets to see the headliner band. The info online said I had to be there by 7:00 to keep my reserved table and no refund. There was a piano show which started at 5:30 and no mention of how long they played or when the headliner started. The piano show was mediocre at best and we eventually just wanted them to stop! They played until 9:00 and the headliner didn't start until 9:30. So there we sat spending money on watered down drinks (!) and bar food and slow service for 2 1/2 hours. Not cool! If I ever go to hear a good band there again, I will eat & drink somewhere else and show up for standing room only at 9:30 or 10:00. read more

The food on the few times I have had it was good, and the staff has been pretty friendly and attentive except for one person. They have a patio where smoking is permitted as well and stay open until 2 am. I will never spend a dime at this bar again because I was accused on Monday, May 12, by an OFF DUTY staff of member of staring at his female friends and essentially was threatened in the presence of several bar members. I reported this interaction to a supervisor at the bar. I have been visiting this bar for over 10 years, before it was even called the Revel, have spent thousands of dollars there, and the one young staff member apparently thought it appropriate to intimidate me, a 55 year old bar patron. Unless this person is fired, I will never spend a dime at The Revel Patio Grill again. read more

We held a large event at Revel recently. I was the point person and came a month before to check out the space and discuss how everything would be set up and go. There were some VERY small hiccups in terms of where we were able to place things the day of and no tables/furniture could be moved which was a tad difficult but we worked with it. The shining stars were the staff. They staffed appropriately in the kitchen, wait staff and the bar. Everyone moved quickly and efficiently despite the place being packed. Not a single person complained to us about food or drinks taking too long. Some of the staff even dressed up to meet our theme!!! Which we LOVED!!! Luke was especially fantastic handling our talent area. He knew what we needed even before we did. The Live Band Karaoke was a blast too!!! I have never seen that done so well. Props to the band. Everyone was great!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! read more

Had a great time with the wife, watching 80s cover band Members Only, playing tons of hits, let me begin with our server Kristin, she was awesome!!! Always checking up on us to make sure all was good. The wife had 4 vodka mixed drinks, I had 4 BlueMoons, we also got the birria tacos and the Smothered Nachos, really tasty, all in all a good experience. The place seemed a bit on the empty side, thought for sure being a Friday night this place would be packed. Kristin and management made sure no one was mooching off our paid seats and area (That was a huge plus), I will definitely come back, bill for the night was under 100 bucks, not bad. read more

I have been getting my crawfish from here and they have been great. However I saw they had blue crab so I ordered a pound for $9.99 per pound. I got two crabs and there were decent size. However there were not edible. The meat was soft and mushy throughout. They should not have been served to the public. I was very disappointed but at least I enjoyed my crawfish. read more

Love this place! Victoria and Claudia are badasses! Make sure you sit at their bar! Guaranteed great time!

I've been coming here since I moved back to the DFW 3 years ago and I cannot say enough about the service. Let's face it most places you go, you are a chair with some $$$ assigned to you. Here you are welcomed with a smile and open arms. On my second visit (a few weeks apart) the back bartender greeted me by name and knew what I wanted. Unheard of as far as I'm concerned. Fast forward 3 years I am still getting the same warm welcome. Now Dale is the face I look for when I come in. Whether it's been with my friends celebrating a going away or a few birthdays, this guy has made sure to provide amazing service. I once approached him about a virgin drink for my guest. Dumbfounded as he was, he created something my friend considered using at his wedding. This man continues to make not only me, but everyone at his bar feel special. When it comes to the food, I was actually caught off guard. Bar food is bar food. I forgot this place has GRILL attached to it. Burgers, pasta, finger foods. WTF? I am honestly impressed with the quality and presentation. Hats off to your kitchen staff for the consistency in quality. Keep on Rocking and in case they haven't been told: YOU are amazing! Whether you are coming to be seen or like me, observe the human condition, you have come to the right place. You can come in and socialize or just shake off the woes of your day You can be assured you are going to find what you are looking for. An experience. Stay amazing! read more

Credit card users pay a fee! But let's be real: everyone uses credit cards these days with some places no longer even taking cash (Legacy Hall vendors). So this is really another place adding a "service fee" that has consumers so angry about. Revel thinks they're smart by making it optional to use cash and avoid the fee. We're not falling for it. So what's so aggravating about these fees that poor restaurant owners are charging to cover their cost during this time of inflation (thanks, Joe)??? The big theme these days is transparency. If food costs have gone up then up your prices for the menu items so we see it. Seriously, Revel can raise the price of their wings and still be reasonable. Don't put a credit card fee below the signature line and yet add it to the total above it. They owe me a beer just for me racking my brain for 5 min figuring out how $89 in food & bev + $11 in taxes equals $104. And while the automatic 20% gratuity for large parties is shown on the menu, I found no mention of this until my bill came and I had to ask about the math. read more
