“My family and I had an excellent experience at Culver’s in Rockwall! We ordered a variety of meals—burger meal, CurderBurger, and two kids' meals—and everything was delicious. The custard for dessert was the perfect sweet finish! Special shoutout to Mary, who took our order and made the whole experience even better with her friendly and efficient service. We’ll definitely be back for more!“

“March 2025 We chose this place for out 53rd wedding anniversary. We have had excellent meals here in the past for special occasions but tonight was beyond expectations. Tuesday nights are usually low attendance, but the staff at BIN 303 were beyond welcoming and attentive to us. It seems as if the whole staff was waiting for us, all knew about our occasion, and they went out of their way to make this evening a special one for us. The meal was spectacular in every way. Our waitress Seeli was attentive and a joy. The bar hostess was also extremely accommodating, taking good care of us while we waited for a private booth to become available. Everyone made for a perfect evening for us, one that we will never forget. As for the meal. the filets were the best we have ever had, and every side and desert made the meal unforgettable. We will be back for number 54 and 55 and 56 until we can no longer do it. Thanks again for a most memorable evening Jim and Esther Burch“

“501 Yacht Club – A Hidden Gem with Sunset Views Tucked away in a serene gated neighborhood, 501 Yacht Club offers not just a fantastic dining experience, but also breathtaking sunset views over Lake Ray Hubbard. Whether you’re arriving by car or opting for a dock & dine experience, this spot provides the perfect lakeside escape with a welcoming ambiance. The Highlights: We kicked off the evening with a deliciously smooth Espresso Martini—a must-try if you’re a fan of bold, rich flavors. For our appetizer, we went with the Deviled Eggs, which were not only visually stunning but also packed a flavorful punch. The Corn Chowder was creamy and comforting, with just the right balance of sweet corn and savory spices—definitely a great way to warm up for the main event. For entrees, we chose two excellent dishes: 1. ½ Roasted Chicken over Mashed Potatoes – This dish was pure comfort food at its finest. The chicken was perfectly roasted, juicy, and tender, while the creamy mashed potatoes were a delightful complement. 2. Trout – The trout was beautifully grilled, sitting atop a bed of roasted vegetables. Every bite was fresh and flavorful, making it a perfect choice for seafood lovers. To wrap up our meal, we enjoyed the Flourless Chocolate Cake. Rich, decadent, and served with fresh berries, it was a heavenly way to end the night. The Service: Service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, enhancing our overall experience. The Atmosphere: What truly sets 501 Yacht Club apart is its stunning lakeside location. Watching the sun set over Lake Ray Hubbard while dining made the experience all the more memorable. The combination of upscale food, laid-back ambiance, and gorgeous waterfront views makes this venue ideal for date nights, celebrations, or even a casual evening out. The Verdict: 501 Yacht Club offers more than just a meal—it’s an experience. With its dock & dine option, impeccable service, and scenic sunset views, it’s a must-visit for anyone in the area. If you’re looking for a spot where you can enjoy high-quality food with a lakeside vibe, this is the place to be.“

“They had candy bars on”sale” but they were stale…when I tried to return some later that day at the one on I 35 between Dallas and Waxahachie I had a horrible experience with that MOD there. I had a receipt but because I was a few miles down the road they wouldn’t return it, and not only that but he went on and on about how it would hurt his “record” if he returned anything, even though I had a receipt from that same day 20 miles away. He wouldn’t even return an $.80 purchase. If I just asked for 1 refund. It was a ridiculous experience. I will never go back to that store on I 35. Also that store continued to sell the stale products on his shelf, even though they were told they were stale as well. finally they didn’t ask for my number so I could get points and they clicked the button so quickly for me, I couldn’t put my phone number in so I had to return everything I bought after that and I had to re-purchase it again to get the points. So, I was there at 2 stores to buy a few things for over an hour and the worst customer service at the one on the way to Waxahachie“

“Had my first experience as Dudley's today. It's been on my "to try" list for a while and I now regret waiting so long. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. Maybe the best burger in the county. Will definitely make it a regular stop.“

“The BEST breakfast cafe in Rockwall. The food & service is always amazing.“

“Delicious eats, good portions. The customer service was splendid, she catered to our needs. The owner kept checking in & asking us if we needed anything. Their signature hot sauce is well made; the manager also gave us a tour after our meals. We’ll definitely be back.“

“everything was great, bartender aweson“

“Best all day breakfast and coffee ever“

“Save your money, this is the worst tasting barbeque I have ever experienced. Two people dinner and drinks 42.00. Their barbeque is tasteless. stick to your locals, they know how to do BBQ right. Never again will I spend a dime in a chain restaurant. To make matters worse, the employees were like robots, cold and unfriendly until you got to the cashier who was delighted to take your money. This review is for the newly established restaurant in Mabank, Tx. They wont last.“

“Decided to try this Chili's Grill & Bar location. We grabbed lunch and got seated as soon as we walked in. We order our drinks frozen margarita and strawberry margarita on the rocks. My main corse was Chicken Cajun Pasta side of garlic bread when received wasn't hot as I anticipated but it was warm. Then, order one of my favorite desserts chocolate molten cake. It was yummy as always. I will be going back and thank you to the gentlemen waiter.“

“Love this spot for the HERBIVORE! I'm not even a vegetarian or vegan in the slightest and I come to the bookclub cafe just for this sandwich made with carrots and garlic and spinach, the veggies are all tender and flavorful. The bun has a crisp outside then soft inside. My gf is tired of hearing me suggest this place to eat honestly. That good“

“Elizabeth was our server and she was awesome! She gave great customer service with a smile on her face, and not to mention the food was amazing! I will be back!“

“I'm hooked. love the food here. Also, Ashley is an amazing waitress!!“

“Delicious great service Pesto egg white omelette with avacado and mushrooms was also scrumptious“

“I just had to try the beef tallow fries, they were Awesome!

Better than the fries? The man taking drive through orders (I assume the manager because he was wearing a tie) was THE MOST pleasant and helpful person I’ve spoken to in a long time. Great job hiring such quality people, I will be back soon, your food and your people are really great.“

“Excellent service here I came by to do some work and have lunch my Server name was CC she was so funny and pleasant very attentive this place has come along way it seemed really different in a good way whatever your team did with this Applebee’s was perfect the change was necessary for the betterment of your business“
