It was my first time at this location (I have tried a yard house at California and the experience there discouraged my return) the staff was super friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back to this location“

“Excellent food and outstanding service! I have several food allergies, and our server, Rachel, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive.

“Great food, with great outdoor seating. I definitely will be coming back, and would recommend people stop by and try it out.“

“Wonderful food my husband and I frequent this place however my last experience tonight, was bad the staff is rude and unprofessional. One team member in general was cussing the whole time we dined in bashing the place tell another customer he liked working here because it was never busy and he could do what he wanted. That was all after I asked for my sauce on side as to not make my biscuit soggy (which I know happens from experience) he said it won’t get soggy but whatever.“

“This was a cool little find. We were treated like royalty by our server Rachel for being first-timers. The venue itself is cute with an outdoor patio in addition to indoor booths and tables. The French Onion Soup was very tasty and a bit different - topped with puff pastry rather than cheese, but the cheese was still nice and gooey inside the soup. My wife said her tenderloin salad was good. We both enjoyed her blackberry smash. We live in Garland so we won't get there often, but it will stay in our radar when we're in the area.“

“Great selection of wines and the service is amazing!“

“The dirty blond beer is awsome!!!“

“I'm eating a taco for the first time, and my experience at the shop was wonderful. It was very tasty! I feel like I should come back to this shop again and again to eat. I will definitely come regularly. You should also try it at that shop; you'll like it too.“

“Such a good experience here! The owners are very welcoming and friendly. The food is phenomenal and so fresh! The indoor golfing facility is a great option for the winter season or during the summer when it’s too hot. It’s our go to place for our weekly date nights. Highly recommend!!!“

“Anita was such a great waitress Friday night! She made sure we were taken care of through our entire reservation. The first DJ around 6 was great. They then switched to another one that was terrible and then switched to ANOTHER DJ again that was great. Bathroom could use a good deep clean. Drinks were fantastic for the happy hour price.“

“Great service and great location , I came in on Tuesday morning this week . For starters I was greeted immediately as I sat down by morgan. She was very helpful with my questions and also entertaining the whole time. The beer is amazingly cold I always get the dirty blonde. The smoked wings are the best with the Cajun dry rub.“

“Used to come here all the time before we moved out of town now we stop here every time we're in town , seen they have new menu we tried the homemade tomato soup and I was skeptical ordering it but glad I did, it was really good even my husband liked it, I was very surprised he liked it lol . Oscar was our bartender he did an amazing job keeping everyone around the bar and tables happy while the other bartender was in slow motion.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Lazy Dog recently, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. As for the food, the quality was top-notch. Each dish we ordered was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. The menu offered a great variety, and we found something to satisfy every palate at our table. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a treat. Lazy Dog offering a relaxing atmosphere, fantastic service, and outstanding food quality. It's a place I'll be returning to without a doubt!“

“It's a small, unassuming place with a lot of charm. It's simple and delicious.
I got the chicken cordon bleu, and it was tasty. The potato leek soup was good, I like mine with a lot of pepper and little more salt, but it was good the way it came out.“

“Came here for the first time on what ended up being an absolutely Gorgeous Sunday. We chose outdoor seating, and were delighted to have Bentley as our Server. I was a bit overwhelmed by the numerous options available to me (as a vegetarian for 30+ years, usually a fairly limited selection at a burger joint), but Bentley reassured me I could build any combination I’d like. I went with the Vegan Patty (freshly made in house), w/cheddar cheese, crispy onion straws, ketchup, lettuce & jalapeño chutney on the side. It was Effing PERFECTION! I’m so glad we stopped here, huge shout out to Bentley on being exactly what we love in our server: Genuinely friendly, helpful & attentive- you ROCK!“

“**A Memorable Steak Dinner at a Hidden Gem** We recently enjoyed an unforgettable steak dinner at a charming boutique restaurant, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we walked in, the cozy ambiance and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The star of the evening was, without a doubt, the steak. Cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The chef clearly knows their craft, as each bite melted in our mouths and was seasoned just right. The accompanying sides were equally impressive: the roasted vegetables were fresh and vibrant, and the twice baked potatoes were the perfect comfort food. The cobbler was outstanding as well. What truly set this experience apart was the personal touch. The staff took time to explain the menu, offer pairing suggestions, and check in at just the right moments. The boutique setting made the evening feel intimate and special, far from the hustle and bustle of larger venues. If you’re looking for a top-notch steak dinner in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this little restaurant is an absolute must-visit. We can’t wait to return!“

“I had the Lucy Burger it was awesome! Our server Corbin was very helpful and responsive, I hope to have him again as a server. Thank you for the delicious food and atmosphere.“

“Great little spot in the downtown square of Carrollton. Come see Aubrey she is awesome.“

“Food is great, quickly becoming my favorite brunch spot. Service is fast and friendly. There are about a dozen choices near me and this is the longest drive but well worth it.“

“Great vibe and atmosphere“

“literally everything on their menu is 🔥🔥 I'm not friends or family, I have no idea who owns this place but this is a Lewisville gem at this point. I miss the larger menu from when they first opened but I get that was kind of huge and maybe needed to focus. (But please at least bring back the waffle stick dessert stuff). I had the smash burger today for the first time and it honestly might be the best burger I've ever had.“

“Awesome Times is just a really great place to get a simple quality meal with no fuss. Their burgers and sandwiches are great. Their bowls are delicious. The bar has lots of great drinks. They have hosted the Marcus Varsity Baseball team for team dinners several times and given the booster club a good deal. They were a great place for parents to come after we defeated Southlake in the playoffs. Awesome Times has catered my son’s graduation party. Awesome Times consistently makes great food and delivers excellent service. My family goes there at least a couple times a month and we plan to continue.“

“We love this place!! Prime rib flautas, Big Mac eggrolls , onion soup for dinner tonight were amazing and everything else I’ve ever had here is top notch! Can’t wait til the inside opens again!“

“I wish there were heaters outside so I could eat there 24/7! Lol“

“What a great experience! It was like being at a nice resort. It was so cool and airy even eating on the inside. The staff was super nice and made some great suggestions from the menu. We tried the chicken mango salad and fried chicken benny sliders. Also got the pineapple crème brûlée. Every bite was perfect. Just an all around wonderful time. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“We drove an hour for the Christmas pop-up event with our family that came to visit from MD. We loved every bit of the experience. The food and drinks were amazing! Connor, our waiter could not have been better! He was such a sweetheart and was so amazing dealing with our party of 11!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Dazzling Culinary Symphony at Earls in Legacy — With Val as the Star Conductor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the very moment we stepped through the doors of Earls in the Legacy Shopping Center in Plano, Texas, it felt less like entering a restaurant and more like being swept into a scene from a Michelin-starred culinary romance novel. The lighting? Perfectly warm — like golden hour trapped in crystal. The atmosphere? A flawless blend of upscale chic and Texas ease. But what truly transformed this dinner from “delicious” to “divine” was Val, our server, who orchestrated the entire evening with the grace of a maître d’ at Versailles and the intuition of someone who can read a table like an open book.

✨ Service Fit for Royalty
Val wasn’t just attentive; she was elegantly omnipresent. Courses appeared with impeccable timing — not too rushed, never delayed — as if the kitchen and the dining room were connected by an invisible thread only she could pull. She anticipated needs before they were spoken, offered thoughtful recommendations, and exuded genuine warmth without a hint of rehearsed hospitality. It felt like dining with a friend who also happens to have a PhD in Fine Service Arts.

🍽️ The Culinary Crescendo
We began with the shrimp and pork dumplings — delicate, silky parcels of joy that melted on the tongue, harmoniously balanced between savory richness and bright aromatics. Each bite carried whispers of ginger and umami that lingered like a well-composed symphony’s opening notes.

Then came the steak and sushi — a pairing so daring and decadent it could’ve been conceived in a Bond film. The steak arrived with a flawless sear, each slice tender enough to practically sigh when cut. The sushi was vibrant and fresh, the kind that makes you pause mid-conversation just to savor the perfection of the rice-to-fish ratio. Together, they created an unexpected, delightful pas de deux — surf and turf elevated to celestial heights.

And then, the pièce de résistance: the miso-glazed Chilean sea bass. This dish was nothing short of poetry. The fish flaked under the fork like delicate silk, its buttery richness kissed by the caramelized umami of the miso glaze. Each bite delivered a luxurious wave of flavor — simultaneously delicate and powerful — leaving us in stunned silence between bites. If the ocean had a love language, this would be it.

🍸 Ambience & Atmosphere
As the night unfolded, the restaurant seemed to hum with an energy that was both vibrant and intimate. The soft chatter of fellow diners, the gentle clink of glassware, the warm lighting — all formed the perfect backdrop for Val’s flawless service and the kitchen’s culinary artistry.

🌟 Final Verdict
Earls at Legacy isn’t just a dinner spot — it’s a destination. The food dazzled. The atmosphere charmed. But Val elevated the experience into something unforgettable. She turned a lovely dinner into an evening that deserves to be talked about in reverent tones.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
