Service from Katie was excellent for our group of 8! All the food had great flavor and would have been a 5, but the shrimp were overcooked. Pictured shrimp and grits.
Tylar was very warm and friendly and had some great suggestions on what dishes and drinks were good. The food and service were excellent and I enjoyed every minute I spent at the Rim. Can't wait to come back!
Our table ordered nearly half the menu so we could try everything and it was ALL amazing! The chicken with the waffles was the best fried chicken I ever had. The shrimp and grits were super good as well. For all of the food we ordered it all came out quickly. I can't wait to go back.
I had such a great experience thanks to our waitress, Katie. She was warm and genuinely attentive from the moment we sat down. She checked in at the perfect times without ever making us feel rushed, and she remembered every detail of our order. Katie gave great recommendations, handled everything with ease, and made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a friendly, welcoming attitude. Katie is truly a standout, and she made our visit wonderful. Highly recommend asking for her!
We accidentally ended up at The Rim in Burleson after a horrible appetizer and drink experience at a nearby restaurant. How have we never been to The Rim in the 25 years we've lived in Crowley. We shared a chicken fried chicken that was incredibly moist and tasty. The sides with it were fantastic. Their mashed taters are great and the corn chowder is an incredible variation like none we have ever had before. Our waiter recommended the house $6 blue margarita. PERFECTION! Not watered down at all like so many happy hour drinks are. At the end of the meal he made one more recommendation, to share a peach cobbler dessert. AMAZING! The photos are the stacked plates which is all that was left of our meal and the incredible peach dessert. We will be back for sure!
Chicken fried steak was amazing! Right up there with Bebe’s. Drinks were superb. Our waitress Rhonda was blast! We’re going to ask for her specifically every time we come back. She recommended to try out the lemon drops here. My god are they delicious!
The vibe of the restraunt was amazing. So relaxing they had a live saxophonist who was incredible who kept playing to my son. The wings were some of the best wings i have ever had. The steak on the Diablo pizza was perfection. I would give this place a 5 stars, but the fried chicken was super dry and seasonless. The mashed potatoes tasted off. They are described as butter potatoes but they tasted like straight sour cream. Other down fall if you want to change sides you have to pay and they are very pricy. This restraunt is a bit pricy as well. We got a Diablo pizza, beer, Dr pepper, milk, kids meal with fries which we subbed those, fried chicken meal subbed green beans for mac and cheese and an order of wings it came out to 110.
