Restaurants near Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch

The CREW 🖤 and I visited Trick Rider on February 15 for our Valentine’s Day celebration. There were five of us, and we all loved the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food. By the end of the night, we were already talking about when we’d be back. For entrées, we had a variety of options, including ribeye, filet, and oven-roasted chicken. Our sides—mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and broccolini—were all flavorful. The only critique from the group was that some dishes were a bit too salty. As for drinks, I had the “Lucky Guess”—a mix of tequila, lemon, and raspberry—and it was delicious. One of my friends ordered the “Spice of Life” but ended up returning it. It’s made with tequila, mezcal, pineapple juice, lemon, and jalapeño. I think the smoky taste from the mezcal just wasn’t their thing—personal preference. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but we knew that going in. For me, it’s a special occasion spot, maybe once a year, but some of the crew are already planning their next visit within the month! Overall, it was a win—everyone left smiling!

Ryder's Cup Grille is a great place for lunch or dinner, weekday for business meetings or weekends with family. There is a fairly good variety of menu choices at a moderate price. It's been a go-to with out-of-town guests.

We always love our visits to Hannah's and Valentine's Day, with their special menu, was no exception. We began with tuna tartar and beef carpaccio. Both were divine. The tuna was fresh with a rich sauce. The carpaccio was decadent with a vinegar crunch from the fennel salad on top. My entree was halibut with shrimp foam, a vanilla soubise, french peas, and roast butternut squash. I don't have the words to fully communicate how much I enjoyed this dish. I have zero critiques. The soubise was a knockout. The halibut was perfectly cooked. The squash gave a concentrated flavor from the roast. Just a standout out dish. I wont call it a complaint, but the only comment I could offer on the evening was lack of a true chocolate dessert. I ordered the white chocolate mousse with luxardo cherries. While delicious and everything you'd expect, it was so, so sweet. Id have loved a slightly bitter dark chocolate mousse to juxtapose those amazing cherries. Other available desserts were their award-winning carrot cake, a poached pear (both on their regular menu), and a passionfruit cheesecake with fresh mango. Hannah's, keep up the excellent work. We will see yall again soon.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Haywire Plano. We came on a Tuesday and was surprised to how busy it was, but that was no concern as we had reservations in place and we're seated pretty swiftly. For our starter we had the mini Elk tacos which were pretty good. For the main course I ordered the 18oz Angus Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye with a side of the White cheddar havarti mac&cheese and Tallow fries. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. My wife ordered the Texas farm raised red fish which came with jumbo lump crab&rock shrimp, spicy lemon zydeco sauce, whipped potatoes and a frisée citrus salad. Per my wife it was an amazing meal. When we go back I'll be trying the 33oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye.

I met a business partner here for lunch and we had a great experience! The fresh, inviting atmosphere was a perfect contrast to the dreary weather. Our hostess and server were friendly and very attentive. I had the birria quesadilla and my companion had the Mediterranean bowl with chicken. Both were very flavorful, generous portions. I’ll definitely be back!
