“This is my home bar. Been going here since 2008. They have great daily specials - $5 for 1/2lb burger on Mondays and get THIS: Tuesday is 2.50 domestic bottles, 16oz drafts, 1/4lb burgers! You can’t beat that anywhere! The service is usually great, even when busy. Shuffleboard tourneys Thursday and Saturday. Karaoke on Tuesday night and the weekends. AMI jukebox you can use an app for. Lots of bar seating and you can smoke inside. Add a few game machines, a couple pool tables and darts - you’ve got the best backroads bar in the county. Crockpot Sundays for NFL watches. Drop in on Friday days for the specials and say hi to Debby, tell her Trav sent you. See you there!

Kid-friendliness: Nope, private club.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, there are very loved regulars through the years who need the access kept friendly“

“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 .“

“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!“

“Shout out to Free Play Richardson for a fun, chill place to celebrate Jonathan Lee's bday! Thanks to Dylan and Pete and the rest of the staff for handling all the details--y'all made it so easy. We'll be back!“

“Just a heads up, this is one of the rare places that allows inside smoking. Overall, it's an older crowd, so it's laid back and no issues when I went. Prices for drinks and food are responsible compared to other places I've been. Waitresses work in rotation, so someone is always coming around asking if you're good and need anything. They have a pool table and inside dart games. Nice little laid back spot if you don't mind the smoking.“

“This is the best bar in Rockwall!! The atmosphere is amazing!! They are located right on the lake so you can see the water and sunsets while you are having a great time with your friends. Also the staff is the main reason why I keep coming back! The whole staff is always working so hard, my favorite member of the team is Rheagan, every time I walk in I always get the friendliest greeting with a smile! She gave me the best cocktail suggestions and was very attentive to me and my table every time I come in it’s always 5 star service. Always checking on her tables and making sure everybody is good! I highly recommend going to see her because she will have you leaving with a great experience!!!“

“Omg I love this place! Had a very welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious. We had the Mac and cheese bites, wing basket. And the hot honey pizza and we loved everything! Our server was Gavin and he was on point! Our drinks and food came fast, he was friendly and professional, and we never lacked his attention. Superb service and place!!!!“

“Jesus was fantastic!!“

“My Favorite Local Spot!

This place is hands-down my favorite bar and pub in town. What keeps me coming back isn’t just the great drinks or laid-back vibe — it’s the people. Every time I walk in, I end up meeting someone new from a different walk of life. There’s a real sense of community here, and it’s one of the few spots where diversity isn’t just welcomed, it’s celebrated.

The pool tournaments are always a blast — fun, friendly competition with regulars and newcomers alike. And the live music? Incredible. They feature some of the coolest cover bands playing everything from classic 70s rock to today’s hits. Whether you’re looking to unwind after work or dance your heart out on the weekend, this place delivers.

If you’re looking for a bar that feels like home but still surprises you every time, this is the place to be!“

“Chase place was my favorite bar. I usually invite a group of my American Legion friends to meet there. We meet about 2+ times a month. Usually myself and around 5-6 friends. Plus other friends randomly. Monday this one waitress, Nancy, never even asked what I wanted or said a word to me. My friends all noticed this. Therefore, I will not invite my people to be there when Nancy is working. What a shame.“

“Great food, drinks, atmosphere and the staff was AMAZING!!“

“This pub is a real treasure! 🍻 The environment is warm and lively, especially suitable for gathering and chatting with friends“

“Ebeneezers is open for the good times again. Terry the owner is on top of the good times creating great memories. Drink specials galore. New folks get 50 percent of the first tab. Great music, pretty bartenders, and great music! Terry's about to open the kitchen very soon with $1.99 burgers! Make the party by being here on the regular just like the old times. I've always loved this place and that's why I speak highly of Ebeneezers. I've made great memories here for four decades. Come see us at Ebeneezers you won't be sorry.“

“Let's start with their complementary appetizer, a mixed of delicious chopped olives with olive oil on pitta bread is to die for. The wood oven pizza is delicious too. Ask for their seasonal menu, I have had an awesome salmon and chicken breast stuffed with spinach, goat cheese and cherry tomatoes in different occasions I have been there. And their tiramisu is out of this world too. I recommend this place a 100% !!!“

“Facility is well maintained and very nice. Kids love to run around and play while parents enjoy their time watching games. There is indoor with ac and outdoor in the sun or under the trees or pavilion. Bar is very nice. Jillian was exceptional. Food service from food coaches was slow but they were the only one there with lunch type food. Food was good. Took a while to get it but worth it. We will be returning next weekend for a birthday event. Very impressed.“

“I’ve been eagerly waiting for this place to open, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! I used to visit the Gecko in Addison all the time, and it’s great to see so many friendly faces here. The staff is always so welcoming, and there’s a real sense of community when you walk in.

Every time I come, I’m always impressed by the quality and flavors. It’s fantastic to have Gecko so close by—feels like a local gem. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on the Chicken Tortilla Soup—hands down the best in Dallas! Definitely a must-try.“

“Great Ramen spot with Japanese accoutrement throughout. I would definitely recommend!“

I ordered an alcoholic beverage which I did not finish because it was completely alcohol. It did not taste very good at all. Our food however, was very good. My daughter gos a burger with the queso fries, and I got chicken and shrimp pasta. It was all so good. Definitely no complaints other than the alcoholic beverage. I ended up just drinking sweet tea. The bathroom was clean and the atmosphere was very inviting and friendly. Much improved from the last time we went about a year ago.“
