Restaurants in Rowlett

“I went to the Hawaiian Brothers in Rowlett and as always I was blown away by the service and the food. I spoke with one of the managers and her name is Tangie and she was awesome. Her knowledge of the food and the menu was absolutely amazing. So I just wanted to give an outstanding recommendation to anyone who would like to try the Hawaiian culture and it's amazing food. Thank you Ms. Tangie for sharing your knowledge and for giving me a wonderful experience.”

“This is my favorite Italian restaurant whether we dine in or take it to go. We always have a great experience. I have two toddlers and I appreciate the staff being so accommodating and friendly with my babies. If you haven’t tried Valentinos I highly recommend you do everything is so delicious and fresh.”

“Finally got to try Cheesesteak House for lunch today and it was absolutely amazing! Having grown up just outside of Philly, I’ve been in Texas since I was 12 years old, I’ve been on the quest to find the best Philly Cheesesteak in Texas, and I think Cheesesteak House is quite possibly the best! I will definitely be back again, and hope to bring some of my family that still lives in the Philadelphia, PA area!”

“Best pistachio baklava in town”

“Excellent food and excellent service! Will definitely be back.”

“We had MO:MO for the first time tonight and it was excellent. Butter chicken and MOMO Chicken dumplings. We will definitely be back.”

“First of all, let me say that what you get for the money is amazing! I compare their catfish pieces to those at ‘Fish N Tails’ and there is no comparison. Catfish Connections wins, hands-down! For the quality, seasoning, taste and the size of their catfish pieces, you can’t beat it! I’m a first timer, but I will definitely be a repeating customer!”

“I can't believe I have missed this spot. I only visited because a friend invited me to lunch. It is so delicious and I highly recommend. I am vegan and the Chef/Owner recommended vegan options for me. The atmosphere was so calm and relaxing with exceptional Asian food that was so fresh.”

“Best authentic Mexican food I’ve had in more than 40 years! This is a true gem of a restaurant that I and my family enjoy eating at. You will not be disappointed.

Kid-friendliness: Really nice husband and wife. They made us feel welcome and at home.”

“Me and my husband decided to try this place out. I wasn’t really in the mood for BBQ and we’re pretty TX when it comes to being picky on our brisket. So glad we came. The food was amazing!! Homemade everything and a good size portion for the price. Well done 👏”

“I’m a very picky sushi eater, and this place truly impressed me! They offer a great variety with a large menu, fresh food, and reasonable prices. The customer service was amazing, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious.
My favorites were the Golden California, Krispy Kream, and Volcano Roll all so flavorful and fresh.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. If you’re a sushi lover, you have to try this place for their fantastic menu, fresh and delicious food, excellent service, and cleanliness. Highly recommend!”

“Zuko’s Pizza was recommended to us and did not disappoint! From the warm greeting at the door to the attentive service, we felt welcome right away. They only take cash, Zelle, or Cash App—not a problem these days. I had the Chicken Murphy—flavorful sauce, perfectly cooked mushrooms, just the right kick—absolute chef’s kiss! My husband had spaghetti with marinara and Italian sausage, with generous portions and a homemade-tasting sauce. Small, clean seating area and friendly staff all the way till we finished eating.Can’t wait to come back for the pizza!”

“Awesome addition to downtown Rowlett. excellent pastries (huge variety) and breads. Fabulous coffee with house made syrups. They offer some unique coffee creations. I've enjoyed the Hot Turkish Coffee with cardamom syrup, the Mexican coffee with cinnamon and the iced horchata coffee. Great local vibe. Limited indoor seating but plentiful outdoor seating so I look forward to enjoying more coffee al fresco now that spring is here. Don't leave without a loaf of their sourdough bread. I ate a whole loaf by myself in a week. So delicious!”

“Diana was a fantastic server. she really made our night special. The sushi was amazing. we were here for a birthday and were surprised by how delicious the oreo pudding was. 10/10 we will go back for every celebration.”

“Great little place for pho! Delicious broth and the large is ENORMOUS! I had there special with all the meats. Everything was fresh, and delicious. The spring rolls were excellent as well. I finished my meal with a Taro milk tea with bobba. So good! Taro is an underrated flavor.”

“Ordered dinner. - was terrific! My Cheese Chili Relleno was amazing. It is hard to find a Chili Relleno that is so tasty. The flavor was just fantastic! That made my day - thanks so much!”

“It’s awesome to work with the owners of this location. My delivery customers have chosen this spot time and time again. Excellent food as well 😁”

“10/10 everything was absolutely delicious. Drinks were on point and staff are very polite! Definitely bringing my whole family next time this is a must come to restaurants we ❤️ you!!”

“I would like to say I'm a person that didn't get to go to the dentist as a child. My first time going to the dentist was when I turned 18 and I took myself, it was a traumatic experience for me with mistakes being made. So needless to say, every dentist appointment, I'm a little anxious, but this dentistry was one of the most considerate and informative dentists I've ever been to. The whole staff was so kind and explained everything so plain. I'll definitely stick with them!”

“Omg so I was looking for some good ribs and I checked several places and read reviews and I decided to come here and when I tell you the ribs were falling off the bone omg so good!! 10 out of 10 would I recommend and I even told my husband I will be back tomorrow lol!! So good”

“We’ve been quite few times now and theses aredelicious breakfast tacos! Green salsa is bomb!! Not to long ago they stepped the spice way up in the salsa but it’s still awesome!!Real nice y’all young man working the counter a lot.Ladies in the back whipping up the food are super sweet!Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!”

“I rarely come to the area anymore, I was pleasantly surprised on my stop in. The service was great, something I’ve never had in a whataburger. I placed a mobile order, as soon as I came in someone greeted me. The older gentlemen at the counter had a great conversation with me.

The man who appeared to be the manager, was very friendly. He was in the line with his employees and running orders. I even told them that this is the best service I’ve ever gotten in a whataburger. Keep up the good work.”

“Unfortunately the a/c at this location was out so it was pretty darn hot. But I just wanted to say this gentleman name Albert literally just gave me the best Whataburger experience I’ve ever had in life. The food was literally amazing and it was all from him. Please give this man the proper treatment he deserves a raise or something cause that was more than just a good experience. It was the best dang fast food meal ive ever had cant stress that enough. Albert if you’re reading this by any chance thank you so much for that I will definitely be back! If I go back and he doesn’t know anything about my comment I’ll take it to corporate cause people need to know how amazing this was. That’s all folks”

“Servings and service are always more and better than expected!!”

“Nora, Sky, and the Drizl family are incredible. She pays attention to the small things that take an ordinary coffee shop and elevate to the place you WANT to be all day, studying, working remotely, catching up with friends. And the best part is she’s just getting started on transforming Drizl into something beyond wonderful. So glad that Drizl exists. xoxo”

“it's a small diner but was very comfortable. our waitress was very helpful and nice, attentive without being a bother breakfast was delicious. my husband had a veggie omelette packed full of yummy things. I had a fried pork chop and eggs. we enjoyed every bite it was well worth it. we found this just by looking online. glad we went there. if we ever come back this way we would go again.”

“Great Fine Dining Experience! Douglas our waiter was fantastic and knows the Menu inside and out. Lamb Chops to Greek Salads, they are there to delight your Greek Experience! Great Bar and a Culinary Delight!!!!!!! Douglas accommodating our every need I had a great meal and highly recommend Opa Greek Taverna😀”

“Jessie is amazing!! Ask for her when you go there. The food, best burger and onion rings and the sweet tea is amazing. Jessie’s service with a smile is infectious. Good job Burger Island, you hired a great one. Met her for the first time when she waited on us today. Good food will bring me back, Jessie makes the visit so amazing!!!”

“Love this place is my stop every day before I leave for work!”

“I have always been a fan of Bankhead, but have not been in a while. My children and I went yesterday for Mother’s Day and our ticket was accidentally lost. The staff went above and beyond to make it up to us with some delicious appetizers while they finished up our orders. Mistakes happen, but we definitely will be visiting again soon.”

“Stopped in for grand opening so happy to see that it was busy and even happier that it was worth the wait! I ordered the flatbread with fig spread, apples, brie snd and a balsamic and honey drizzle it was delicious. Super friendly and welcoming staff. I think I’ll get another one tomorrow 🤣 The peach smoothie was amazing as well. Grain and Berry is definitely going to be my go to spot for a healthy treat. Welcome to Texas guys❤️”

“The staff is so pleasant . Love the coffee”

“Went and tried this place out. Went for dessert after we had lunch, and the lady asked if we have been here before, we said this was our first time. When she brought our order to us , she also brought a sample tray for us to try. Everything was great. We will be back.”

“This restaurant is fantastic! I love the food and the staff is always so helpful. The owner is amazing, and my family loves to support them when we can”

“This is a one of a kind for Rowlett and definitely well above "worth the visit". Awesome vibe indoors and out with a real "backyard" feel for kids. The menu isn't overwhelming but offers a great variety of well crafted options and the staff is genuinely there to help!”

“I wanted to tell you about one of your managers at the Live Oak, Texas location. Ms. Arnesia (or Amesia if I spelled it wrong). My family and I live about 20 miles from this location. You don't have many locations where I live, but the food quality to me is worth the drive. However, this time we ordered out of convivence. We ordered food via a food delivery app (DoorDash) and was devastated when we received EMPTY bags at our front door. Over a $100 food order and it was gone. I drove to this location with the bags in hand, and when I asked to speak to the Manger, I met Ms. Arnesia. She explained how I was the 3rd customer that had happened too that day and she had already reported the driver. She helped me to do the same. She was working deliveries and ensured us the orders were included and sealed. She was so sorry it had happened to me and my family. She asked us to not eat any of the remaining items for our safety. She reprocessed the entire order including the drinks and shakes. I'm sure being the third person with that issue that day during her shift, should have allowed for her to at the very least have some aggravation. She never spoke, displayed, or seem to have any negative reaction at all in correcting this situation. When I arrived, I was furious, and I left feeling so care for and appreciated and safe. After meeting Ms. Arnesia, I won't be going anywhere else for my American Burger meals if she is there. She has added to your quality and delicious food with her exceptional customer service. I can't thank her enough for saving our weekend and keeping us in good spirits after all that had happened. People make time to file complaints so easily but fail to praise the people who stand out and go above and beyond. I made time for Ms. Arnesia today. I hope your company makes the time and effort to let her know and reward her accordingly. The Hyde Family Ms. Hyde”

Their subtle, yet effective recommendations are the best I've ever had in eating out. I stress the fact that dining in over ordering to go is so choice! My compliments to their establishment and owners.”

“Crab and shrimp boil were decent . The shrimp and scallop in butter was a pleasant surprise . I didn’t think by the looks I would enjoy it but it was great and loved the steamed veggies. Hush puppies were just ok . Didn’t care for the combination rice . The chicken was too tough .
Nice atmosphere to catch a game/ sports .
It’s a bit chilly so dress warm .”

“Want me to let you in on a little secret?! This place is amazing!! It’s a bar and they have food. Not to be confused with bar food. This is food food!! Their cook is on point! Their food is so friggan good!! The staff is awesome too!! I have no idea what their drink specials are because I don’t drink, we get the food!! Their chicken fried steak& chicken dinners are so good! My husband loves their BLT which comes on Texas toast. I love their chicken Philly! Their tator tots are delicious and so is their home made mashed potatoes! We get our food to go but they seem to have ample seating.”

“Great vibe”

“loved the teas! they also had an option for my kids where the tea could be replaced with sparkling water for some unique and delicious sparkling drinks (I can say this because the portions are large, so I finished the kid's drinks). all in all, well worth the money for a refreshing treat. also the café atmosphere is so nice, we stayed and enjoyed our drinks inside.”

“First time visitor, as this place is not on my usual route. Came for the free drink for teacher appreciation. Staff was so nice and friendly and my drink was so good I will definitely be back.”

Love this location!!!”

“🥰🥰🥰🥰.. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. THE DOUGH AND THE TOPPING 🥰🥰”

“Honestly I was highly impressed with the quality, service, and taste of everything. The restaurant itself was a little dirty but there was only 2 employees so I can't hold it against them and they were very fast at cooking all the food fresh which was another surprise and everything tasted amazing.”

“This place represents the quintessential neighborhood donut shop. Kind, hardworking owner. Great donuts. Small town aesthetic. Cheap prices. She had a line to the door before and after I arrived and left today and Mia, working by herself, had a big authentic smile on the entire time. She’s been doing this here for decades. Doesn’t get better than this.”

“Kudos for Janiya for her excellent customer service. Acknowledgement of the customer as they walk in while assisting a guest with their order.”

“I have been eating here on & off since 1993. It is still as good as when we first ate here. This time we got the lunch menu shrimp fried rice, pork fried rice, and the combo lo mien to spit between two people. It was very tasty, and we got extra egg rolls, they have the best egg rolls of any Chinese food place we have ever ate. They are a lot more pricey than before, but everywhere else is to because of Biden economics. Vote Trump 2024 to get back to normal.”

“I wanted to take a moment to recognize Jiselle (Gizelle?) at the Lakeview location. All 3 of my kids have birthdays this week and their one meal ask was for CFA. Jiselle was immediately welcoming to us, brought the kids coloring pages and toys and checked on us frequently. 2 things that stood out to me the most about her was that she spoke to each of my kids like they were a friend, and I even noticed how she would jump in and help other employees without being asked. My oldest was persistent in telling someone that it was her birthday and she (despite being a very shy child) felt comfortable enough to tell Jiselle and Jiselle was sweet enough to bring her a special birthday toy. I work in an environment where client experience is our top priority and Jiselle is an employee that anyone should feel lucky to have. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening dining with you all!”

“Visited the Rowlette tx location 7/24/25. Our server Briana provided excellent service and always very pleasant and accommodating.
My wife had the new chicken fettuccine which was excellent in taste and served hot.
I had the new cheese burger but it had no jalapeños or sweet and spicy sauce which it was supposed to. Just a plain cheese burger...very dissatisfied!!
Brianna brought me the sauce which was great.”
