New American Restaurants near Garland, TX

“Atmosphere!!! Finally a spot with some taste and down to do something unique with the space. Bartender was top shelf. Made me probably the best green tea shot in my life. Pool tables are great (one small, one big), board games, a variety of seating/vibe options. You can even play video games from what I hear. Truly awesome place.“

“love their ruben sandwich and their cauliflower sides“

“I was honestly driving to a restaurant in the same shopping center to eat. Something told me to go here instead and man was I happy I did. Flawless execution on every part of my meal. They have something for everyone. If you haven’t been, go!“

“First time! It was delightful, the atmosphere is inviting and a wonderful respite from the heat after shopping! The food, where do I start! I started out with the Tzatziki with Pita bread, then the succulent shrimp scampi, I would definitely recommend this duo it was heaven to my palate! To finish off I had to try dessert, I had the Apple empanada & dulce de leche ice cream, it was luxurious and delectable, I savored every bite! And that was thanks to Mousafa’s description, he’s an excellent waiter, he knew the menu well, very impressive! Very attentive, friendly demeanor, with a wonderful attitude! I’ll be back! It’s now #1 on my list! You will not be disappointed! This from a very satisfied customer.“

“Not only is this place beautiful, modern and spacious but it’s extremely clean and cozy. The food was delicious, well portioned, and the presentation was great. If we lived here, we’d most definitely be here often. A+++“

“Wandering Canadian review! Flying Saucer The Lake is literally my favorite spot when visiting Dallas. The vibe, the beer, the food, the people are all great! Vannessa has been a rockstar server for our crew the past few visits. As someone who loves surprises, Vannessa steps up and delivers. Her energy, kindness and creativity are infectious. I hope management recognizes her commitment to making sure customers are taken care of and have a great experience!“

The food is FANTASTIC ⁠— everything we tried was superb and you can tell that they truly respect the ingredients they use and know how to treat them right. I will definitely be back!“

“Came here for the first time on my husband's birthday and was blown away by our experience. Our server, Raoul, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make it a special evening--from a card signed by the staff to a birthday candle + complimentary night cap, we truly felt honored and celebrated. Cocktails were excellent and there were so many delicious-looking dishes on the menu it was hard to choose! We landed on the rabbit pappardelle and a duck leg special, both of which were cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. Far from your typical dinner fare, we were truly impressed by the complexity of the flavors and the level of care in the execution. The atmosphere was stylish, sophisticated, and romantic with great music and thoughtful lighting. Can't recommend this place enough and very much look forward to returning to celebrate special occasions for years to come. Our warmest thanks to the entire staff!“

“So we went to Rodeo Goat for a few drinks before dinner. I asked our bartender, Anna, for an extra sweet bourbon Manhattan on the rocks. This is probably not a common order. She was gone for quite a while and I said to my husband, "She probably had to look up how to make it." Well, she did and it was outstanding. I wish more bartenders would do this!! I have been to numerous upscale restaurants in the area and, honestly, this is the best drink I have ever had. Anna was a delightful, professional bartender and a credit to Rodeo Goat. We will be back. Thanks , Anna, for caring for what you do. Wish we could spread that across the universe. :)“

“Worth the drive! We had an amazing dinner at Rye. The attention to detail and flavors was nothing less than art. Unique dishes with flavor combinations that delighted our taste buds.

Very nice and informative!“
