Update: came for dinner and lunch recently. Food was great at lunch. Dinner was okay. Had the burger, which was fantastic, and the scallops special which was not. It aS a shame because I love scallops. But at $32 and only 4 scallops served with “crispy prosciutto” that tasted more like overdone bacon and a lack of sides, I was underwhelmed. Service has also not been great the last few times I’ve been in.

Had dinner tonight. They have a smaller menu but everything is well done. The blue crab dip is a real standout dish. I got the honey chicken and my friend got the quail. We shared the butterscotch pudding for dessert. It’s the little touched that make their dishes pop. The butterscotch had sliced bananas in it. Strange and delicious. Can’t wait to eat there again. Prices are comparable to the other restaurants in downtown Rockwall.

My husband and I visited the Fatted Calf during brunch on a Tuesday. Our waitress was nice. The food was good. My husband received a glass of water with dried egg on the side of it, but the waitress gladly brought him water in a clean glass. We both really liked the bacon! We will visit this place again because there are many things on the menu that we’d like to try.

Excellent weekend brunch spot. Guaranteed to be crowded but still has a cozy atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive to detail. Bar seating is first available.

Nice atmosphere. Classic Texas feel. Nice little bar towards the back of the restaurant. Nice to be here when it is half full or less as the noise level becomes rather high when the restaurant is over half full. I order a $49 22 oz. Austin T-Bone to share with my wife. I hope it is good. Update: the Austin T-Bone was 5 star. The noise level is also 5 stars.

Great food! Wanted to try something new. Had the chicken fried steak. The gravy was some of the best I’ve ever had. And then there is this lemon cream pie- oh my! It has a texture between pie and cake with a custard base that is balanced by the cream and blueberries. Amazing!!
