Rodeo Goat - Arlington — Restaurant in Arlington

Delicious and appetizing burgers. I love the auto shop theme and the straightforward jokes littered all around the restaurant. They change the menu every so often and have a “battle of the burgers” where you vote for the best burger and a percentage of proceeds go to a local establishment. It just so happened that the last time we went, proceeds went to KERA.

We ordered the hot bastard with tostada chips queso and salsa and the radio burger with a side of regular fries.

The burgers are a little on the small side but they’re tall burgers and fill you up. Also they cut easily and cleanly so if you’d like to share a piece, it’s definitely doable.

The hot bastard was delicious. A little too spicy for me but overall tasted great.

The tostada chips with queso and salsa were whatever tbh. It was good but it’s not something I’d actively look forward to ordering. The chips were crunchy, came out hot, and salted with sea salt. The queso was nice and warm, came with some beef crumbles and other toppings. The salsa definitely tasted fresh. It wasn’t watery unlike other salsas, but it had lots of tiny chunks of whatever was mixed in with it and had a little kick. Overall good but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

The radio goat just tasted very meaty to me. I personally liked the mix of flavors and textures of the hot bastard better than the radio goat. The radio goat tasted like a mix of meat and fried toppings. Not a bad burger but I wouldn’t get it again.

The fries (regular fries) were good. Nothing too special. Came out hot, kinda thick. They use sea salt and cilantro to top them off. The ketchup that comes with it is pretty good, on the tier of Heins ketchup. If I’m seeking fries I’d get it again but I’m not on the look out to ordering them.

Our waitress was amazing, excellent service. Our food didn’t come out too late or anything and it was relatively busy on a Saturday afternoon during a Rangers game.

I would definitely come back. This place is similar to other luxury burger spots like Twisted Root. I’m eager to try out the other burgers that they have on the menu.

And they have a full bar as well for those who care about that. And TVs...

At first I wasn’t going to leave a review, but then someone reminded me, that if I don’t leave an honest review how will they try to rectify these issues in the future, so here we go .. I actually visited this business a few years ago at the Fort worth Location where I really enjoyed my service and left a review. So I was overjoyed when I found out they expanded their location to Arlington. So yesterday afternoon, I called and ordered take out. When I entered the restaurant I stood in line behind a couple closing their tab. Seconds later another woman walked inside the restaurant , she was standing right behind me . The host a man maybe in his 40’s or 50’s looked at me first, because I was next in line, however, he became indecisive when he saw the woman behind me. So he ignored the obvious decision and asked the lady who was standing behind me , “How can I help you ?” The lady herself was confused and redirected the gentleman saying , She is in front of me. I was next . Once he realized she wasn’t going for the obvious disrespect towards me, he apologized quickly and asked how he could help me but at this point the damage was done . I was so offended and hurt by this encounter that after I paid and tipped the bartender, I took my to go burger and I cried all the way back to work. The burger that I once loved just tasted less than average and the brioche bun was soggy and oily . similar to the tears streaming from my face. My sweet potatoes fries were tasty but cold and overly salted . My Arnold Palmer drink wasn’t as flavorful as it once was . I’m not going to go into the esthetic differences involved in this review but everyone deserves customer service because that’s what they are paying for. Please do...

I gave this recently opened location about a week to work out kinks before trying it out, and I was shocked at how it feels like a restaurant which has been open for years. The renovations made to one of our former auto body shops for this restaurant was done well, the AC was easily keeping up with the hot day, and it was well arranged and decorated. There was a variety of bar height communal seating and regular booths and tables. Also, whoever trained the staff at Rodeo Goat Arlington needs to train the staff at so many other restaurants because they were a well oiled machine.

When I arrived for lunch, I sat myself, and the server in my section found me quickly and welcomed me in. She took my drink order, made sure I understood the menu, and went to grab my drink. My order was taken quickly after, and I made a couple of adjustments, so I was a little worried if the hamburger would arrive made correctly. It did, and the temperature and presentation were both perfect. The hamburger was juicy and incredibly delicious, and the fries were strongly seasoned and plentiful.

This is a slightly higher priced burger and fries than other local places, but the portion size and quality of ingredients is worth the menu price. The fries are cut in house, and the hamburger is massive. When my server became a little busy dealing with her other tables, another one immediately jumped in to pick up the slack and bring me a new drink. Also, the gentleman bussing tables checked on me and talked for a bit about my hamburger choice, and at another point, a woman who seemed to be a manager or owner stopped by to make sure I was doing well and again to bring me my to-go dessert. I will definitely...
