We sat down and gaze at the menu
where I notice they have a tremendous beer list which include some
of my favorite local craft beers. I ordered Revolver’s Blood and Honey
and follow it with Peticolas’ Velvet
Hammer. They have tons of our local favorite craft beers like Rhar and
Sons’ Iron Thistle and Real Ales Fireman #4 and even a few from breweries outside the lone star state.
The other glorified drink option, in
my opinion, is the local Whiskey option. You often don’t find restaurant or
even bars that carry stuff outside of the
“bar norm”. Don’t get me wrong you
can get your average Crown Royal or
Jack Daniels but they take it a two-step
further. Born and breed in Texas like
many of us, Firestone and Robertson
TX Blended Whiskey is made right
here in Ft. Worth. I love it because
every sip goes down and smooth and
warms you up like the Texas sun....
good mood enhancer. And I had a few
because it was my birthday of course.
After a few drinks and a game of Ring
the Bull we decided we need food
substance. We browse the menu that
consists of 3 salads, burgers and over
twenty off the wall, crazy good burgers.
My order sounded something like
this: “Can I get a Whiskey Pick and a
Fainting Goat to start and for dinner
a Whiskey Burger with a Steaming
Pile and some Goat Balls for dessert.”
What I got in Rodeo Goat talk
was a shot of Jameson with pickle juice (Whiskey Pick) and a
Blood and Honey meets screwdriver concoction (Fainting Goat). The
Whiskey Burger, which is simple but
packed with all kinds of flavor, consists
of Irish whiskey cheddar, bourbon candied bacon, blackberry compote
and and whole grain mustard. They
use their perfectly portioned beef
and fresh buns to bring my favorite
burger together. The Steaming Pile
is a jalapeño tater tot based delicacy
topped with bacon bits, fried egg, goat
and cheddar cheese it is then softly
finished off with truffle oil. It mimics
others but I believe it is on a completely different level, very good choice
to accompany the burger. Dessert is
not generally a must have for me but it
was my birthday so the friends ordered
some Goat Balls....sounds appetizing
right? It is inspired by the familiar donut hole with brie inside, powdered
sugar and a bright berry compote.
For what they are they tasted sinfully delightful, a great end to dinner.
For my fellow ADR readers, I highly recommend you make it a point
to get to Rodeo Goat, meet some
friends, have some drinks and finish
off with one of their wicked
and exclusive burgers. If you have
some friends or family visiting
from out of town and they want
to get that “full Texas feel” put
this on the itenarary, it will make
for a great night of food and fun!
