“Our experience at Mint Rowlett has been excellent! The whole staff is open and friendly and concerned that they do everything right. Aaron, who cleans my teeth, is not only good at his job but also, well...see above - open, friendly and concerned about my comfort. The decor is also bright and welcoming, not like the old-fashioned 'trip to the dentist.' My wife and I highly recommend Mint in Rowlett.“

“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!“

“The Oar House in Rockwall was an amazing Valentine’s dinner experience. Everything from the food to the service was absolutely top-notch. The seabass was cooked perfectly — flavorful, tender, and one of the best I’ve had. My wife ordered the steak, and it was incredibly tender and cooked exactly right. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The service was flawless from start to finish. The manager, Will, did an outstanding job ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we had a great experience. His attention to detail and professionalism really stood out. This was a memorable evening, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend The Oar House to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Rockwall.“

“Stopped in tonight for a bit of Chicken Alfredo Tortellini. Audelio, was my server and he was exceptional. I like to be checked up on, but not stalked or forgotten. He nailed the attentiveness. He made a recommendation for my chicken on the tortellini. I tried the crispy instead of the grilled and for me it was way better.
This was one of my better visits to Olive garden. Made even better by Audelio.“

“Absolutely, unexpectedly fantastic! We have now had the meatball casserole, lobster ravioli and three different pizzas and everything was delicious. Definitely our new go-to for Italian in Forney. Can only give a couple of stars for atmosphere, because it isn’t what you “want” from an Italian restaurant, but the location at the OC is perfect and you don’t go for the atmosphere.“

“The food and the dessert was amazing“

“My wife and I wanted to go out to eat on our wedding anniversary and I picked olive garden since the last time we were there it was great. I really do not eat out much I hate to pay so much more when I can make it better at home. Mike the lunch manager was great, the food was really good! The eggplant parmigiana was very good. I have tried to make it at home but it was always ok . My hats off to everybody there, you all did great!“

“This place was on point. Great value for the money. Quality of food and drink was good and staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back!“

“Its Olive Garden, you can pretty much expect the same thing from any location. Cant go to olive garden without getting the salad and breadsticks. For the main I got the chicken alfredo either tortellini pasta. I wasnt expecting the tortellini to be filled! The flavor of the sauce and the pasta was really good, and the chicken was so tender. You get a lot of food for the money, from this plate i was able to make 3 meals out of it! Service is really good at this location. You cant really go wrong here.“

“To the manager at Napoli's in Wylie. I want to compliment you on your staff and the service I received the last couple of times I've been there throughout the Christmas holidays. These young people were very friendly to all customers both in person and on the telephone. They were busy about their task at hand. I never saw them cutting up or just standing around. They were all working. I want to give a special compliment to Joseph our waiter who checked on us several times throughout our meal even though it was crowded. He was very kind and respectful.And also to Caitlin or Kaylan who took my phone order. She was very friendly and helpful. If you have the funds I think these young people deserve a reward of some kind. Thank you for hiring and training your employees to treat customers in the way they would like to be treated. Have a great holiday season.“

“10/10! One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. The food was absolutely amazing—I honestly couldn’t stop eating. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The waiter was on point the entire time, attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service, atmosphere, and food were all outstanding. I can’t wait to come back, and I’ll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends and family. If you’re thinking about trying it, do yourself a favor and go—you won’t be disappointed!“

“awesome food. great service. we had lasagna“

“Best pizza I’ve ever had 20 years and counting“

“Family owned and operated Italian food thats amazing! Always fresh, great service and super friendly! We love this neighborhood restaurant!“

“Yummy great tasting pizza everytime. Love their crust.
Ever since they've opened we have continuously received delicious pizza and great service. We usually come in on weekdays so I cant really say anything about wkend service.
Everytime we've picked up the manager was there. So maybe thats why our order is always so delicous and everyone is so polite.
If anything changes I'll be sure to change my review.
But Marcos's is one of our faves here in Mesquite.
I hope they make it here. There have been so many eateries that have come and go.
I hope Marcos's stays. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I went today around 11am and I want to shout out to the busser, a young black gentleman, who did a PHENOMENAL job. He prebussed, he got us drink refills, brought us pizza and dessert and was just the sweetest! This is our usual Friday lunch spot but the experience was elevated today bc of the wonderful worker! I hope to see him the next time I’m in there!!!!“

“Yummy. Best pizza in town“
