Worst

I used to work here and would like to tell my perspective of this place.

Beautiful view 7/7/2008

The restaurant is in an absolutely gorgeous location on the lake. My husband and I sat on the upper lever from which we could see both the lower dining/bar area and the lake. The atmosphere is great - as long as you don't mind noise. The food was pretty good - best we've found so far in the Rowlett/Rockwall area. Service was average. Pros: food, lakefront view Cons: noisy more

Horrible service 7/7/2008

I went here on a Saturday a few weeks ago with my bf. We've been to the uptown one a few times and loved it so we thought we'd def. love the new one on the lake. Well not so much. The place was packed so maybe that is why, but still. There service was horrible and the food sucked! We were taken upstairs which at first we thought that should be cool. Not at all. They sat us in front of this wall so we had no view and then the waiter left us and never came back. You are kinda forgotten about up there! They brought us chips and salsa but never got our drinks and our mouths were burning from the spicy salsa. My bf ordered the Mesquite Chicken dinner and it was soo bad. The chicken was dry and tough and he didn't even eat it. The waiter had this attitude like, ""I didn't make it so don't take it out on me."" We asked for the manager and he didn't come. The waiter came back to tell us he was too busy and that he was already yelled at. Again trying to make it so we didn't take it out on his tip! He said the manager said that since he ate some of it (2 bites) there was nothing he could do. It was horrible and just bad business to be that way! I was very disappointed since it is in a great spot and it was a nice atmosphere. Maybe they will get their act together and the service will get better. Pros: location and atmosphere Cons: Service and food more

Great food with atmosphere 7/7/2008

Great Tex-Mex- I love guacamole and theirs rocks! Great place to hang with friends- overlooking the lake and they had a live band.......(okay- they tried) on Sun night. Waiter was a blast and made our visit fun. Roland- we'll be back- hope you'll be working!! Try the steak nachos- huge- and tasty- We shared and had lots left! Definitely a place worth checking out if you haven't yet!! Pros: atmosphere-view-sevice Cons: usually a wait- 30-45 minutes more

Great Patio Lunch 7/6/2008

Great lunch on the patio. Our server was quite pleasant and attentive with helpful suggestions. Food (breakfast burrito and quesadillos) were excellent. Loved the nonrushed attitudes. Great way to start off a summer Sunday on the lake. more

Not great late. . . 7/5/2008

We went to the resturant late one night after being on the lake all day. The service is freindly and great. We had a group of 6. Everyone was not impressed with the food except me. I had a a grilled chicken stuffed with cheese and bacon that was really good. The migas my freind had were so-so and the nachos were pretty lame. Maybe it was because it was closing time but I don't think we will try it again. Pros: Service-fast, freindly and accommodating Cons: Food is so-so, more of a party type atmosphere more

Excellent Service, Huge Portions and the Perfect 7/2/2008

On June 29th my wife and son met a friend of ours at Primo's in Garland. They have all eaten there before but it was my first time. I met them shortly 6pm and we were seated on the patio after a 5 minute wait. The ladies had drinks sitting in the waiting area so they were happy and didn't mind the wait for a patio seat. The restarant is very nice and clean. It fits well with the surrounding buisnesses and atmosphere right on the lake near Bass Pro. In fact its much nicer than the other side of the lake by the Cinemark Theater simply because its more relaxed. Eating on the patio was great, they even had mist fans setup to keep everyone cool. The food was beautifully prepared as well as deliscious and in large portions. Plenty large enough for my wife and her friend to share and still have some to take home. The girls said the drinks were great. Not to strong or too weak. Thats a hard thing to do in the heat so my hats off to the bartender. Anyhow.. Great customer service, great restarant, I hate that I waited this long to visit. It will definetly become a favorite of my family. Oh, almost forgot. The waiter Roland was a blast. He joked with our kids all meal and even had the rest of the adults laughing and having fun as well. Kudos to Roland for a great service and awesome attitude. You could tell he loved the job. Again, just a great place. I highly recommend it. Pros: Portion Size, Atmosphere, Very Fun Place to Eat Cons: Parking, Slightly Expensive, Expect to wait 15-20 minutes for a patio seat. more

Happiness happening 6/17/2008

Let me tell you, this place has it all! Their Cheese nachos makes Joe T. Garcia's nachos look like they came from Wal-mart. Their Chimichanga is big enough to feed the whole village, and still have some leftover for the dogs. Definitely better than Uncle Julio's Chimichanga. Their Mesquite Grilled Beef Fajitas are just to die for. Cantina Laredo's Fajitas suddenly don't seem as attractive and appetizing anymore after you had the Primo's Fajitas. Pros: Great food, great view, great price Cons: The wait could be a turn off. So call Tinman ahead of time. more

Primos 6/17/2008

Excellent place for gatherings and upbeat atmosphere, quick and friendly service while the drinks and foods are superb, ordered the beef fajitas for myself and a friend ordered the spinach quesadillas and stuffed jalapenos, the beef fajita was brought out sizzling on a hot iron plate perfectly seasoned and the onions and bell peppers were not over cooked nor under cooked, the tortillas were brought out hot, soft and moist while the quesadillas were fairly large portioned and filling, not skimpy in between the grilled tortillas. Seems to have a wide variety of Tex-Mex and grilled dishes that I can't wait go back and try them all.. Prices are moderate, not overly priced and the fun atmosphere is a huge plus... definitely recommended for anyone who enjoys some fun and good dinning and don?t forget the drink specials!! Pros: food and service Cons: non so far more

Great For Work Luncheons! 6/17/2008

We went to Primo's off Bass Pro for my office luncheon. We didn't make a reservation, but walked in w/like 15 or 16 of us! They were totally friendly and able to seat us without a long wait. I've tried the uptown location and am a big fan, but now that I've been to this location, I'm a huge fan! There was a guy named Tin or looks like Tinman there, he was awesome! Totally friendly and eager to get us what we needed. The fajitas were awesome! I will definitely recommend it to others. more

Great Margaritas! 6/17/2008

I'm a total margarita fan, and I love that the Uptown location does specials on Tuesday nights. Well Tinman, our neighborhood friend told me to go and checkout the Ray Hubbard location. LOVE IT!! The margarita's are just as good! It's close to home, and the people there are great! We didn't have to wait long at all! Love the look, especially being able to sit outside and look at the water. Thanks for the recommendation Tinman! more

The best chicken enchilada's in Texas 6/17/2008

I love this place, it has to be in my top 10 favorite Tex-Mex places. It can be a little crowded on Tuesday nights. There is some dude called the Scarecrow and he'll hook you up and make you laugh. Great guy! Wait, I think his name is Tinman... yeah, that's it Tinman! Pros: Great food, good drinks Cons: Popped collars on Polo shirts that are halfway tucked in more

If your Hungry order the Chimichanga! 6/17/2008

I usually visit the UPTOWN location to see my homeboy Tinman , but he suggested I come out to the lake location. I was impressed with the building and such , it was really busy when I showed up during the rush . But Tinman assisted me in getting a table. The Food is excellent much props to the Chefs in the back. Pros: Tinman , some of the bartenders there should learn from him . Cons: HOT HOT HOT out on the patio but what do you expect more
