Trick Rider

"We had the most amazing experience. Our waiter, Steven, was wonderful. Attentive, polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant itself was breathtaking. The staff was so welcoming and personable. And the food! The word that comes to mind is amazing. The salmon just melted in your mouth. The rib eye was cooked to perfection. Lobster mac & cheese to die for. And the king crab was so delicious. On top of all that, they brought out a huge chocolate dessert for my birthday day. Thank you for the most memorable time."

"Really wanted to like this place - they had an opportunity to make things right and they declined. A restaurant with this price tag is something we can only do once every 2-3 years. I had been excited to try Trick Rider as I like to support those who support the PGA of America, and so I booked a Valentine’s table the morning it accepted reservations on opentable. When we arrived, we were impressed by the chandelier, live music, and general ambiance. However that quickly dissipated as they ushered us into a tiny side room in the back corner, all by ourselves with no view other than a tv displaying a fireplace from Youtube (which I know was YouTube since it paused for ads and for a survey). Not exactly the ambiance you pay several hundred dollars and get a reservation for. I asked our waitress, who was otherwise great, if we could have a different table in the actual restaurant. She declined and told me those tables had been long reserved — I know, since I reserved mine as well. I also understand that not every table can be filled due to limited servers, but we did feel disappointed to watch at least 3+ different small tables in the actual restaurant remain open for the duration of our entire evening. Cocktails were great. We did the signature Wagyu tasting which was unfortunately very underwhelming to this native north Texan. Asparagus was oily and limp. Whipped Potatoes were the highlight of our main course, and the Carrot Cake was excellent. I understand that there is a price for the experience, but unfortunately when I asked my bride how her evening was going she said she was extremely disappointed with our table/room. The gentleman who spoke to us about our cake was friendly, and again our waitress was fine, but this was a complete whiff. I do not foresee us coming back unfortunately, nor can I make the recommendation based on our experience. I hope others who bite the bullet at least get to see the chandelier instead of a tv."

"We came here for Valentine's dinner and we had a spectacular time! I was a bit nervous given all the mixed google reviews, but I highly recommend this spot after our experience here. The service was absolutely amazing, our food was paced out perfectly and our water glasses were never low. Roasted oyster appetizer came out sizzling and the flavors were amazing. We did the ribeye with fries and mac and cheese and it was perfect. The interior of this restaurant is also stunning. Our meal was definitely pricey, but given the quality of the food and service, it was worth it! We look forward to coming back for a meal and this would also be a great spot for a drink. The bar and chandelier is amazing!"

"Decided to try Trick Rider for my 21st wedding anniversary dinner and it did not let us down. We arrived for dinner and had a hard time finding the actual restaurant as it’s lacking good signage at PGA Frisco but after some help we were guided to a pair of wooden doors that led us in almost like a speak easy. Staff greeted us and the ambiance was great. There is a massive crystal light fixture in the shape of a horse hanging above the bar that is incredible. Our waiter greeted us with champagne and we appreciated the effort but we do not drink and told him abruptly. He apologized and took the champagne away and said they do it for anniversary dinners and again, we appreciated the efforts. My wife and I both ordered filet mignon steaks which were cooked to perfection; juicy and succulent. We also shared an asparagus order that was good but a little too thick for our liking (smaller diameter asparagus just tastes better but they did a great job with flavor). For dessert we share a slice of wood chocolate pie which was exceptional, as was the passion fruit sorbet. Staff kept our sparkling water filled non stop and attended to us very well without being overbearing. The GM also approached me by name and we had a great conversation together. We will return! Tips: if you use the roundabout valet parking, when you enter the building take an immediate left to the end of the halls where the two wooden doors are and that’s the Restaurant."

"Food is outstanding!!! Please note though if you have a large group you will have a restricted menu. This caught us off guard as we had a group of 14 who were all excited to try Trick Rider. Besides that the food is amazing! Orders were all correct, attentive but you can see they are still a little bit understaffed but this will improve as the flow of customers increases and the staffing levels increase accordingly. Drinks came out a bit slow but overall a great place to eat we will definitely go again! Bone in ribeye is probably one of the top 2-3 steaks we have ever had!"
