Update: came for dinner and lunch recently. Food was great at lunch. Dinner was okay. Had the burger, which was fantastic, and the scallops special which was not. It aS a shame because I love scallops. But at $32 and only 4 scallops served with “crispy prosciutto” that tasted more like overdone bacon and a lack of sides, I was underwhelmed. Service has also not been great the last few times I’ve been in.
I’ve been here a few times now. It’s too pricey to frequent for dinner (went once, and it was worth it!). But breakfast/brunch is pretty fairly priced and the food is excellent. Most recently I ordered the spinach, mushroom, and goat cheese omelet. I added tomatoes just because I like them. It was delicious! The fresh fruit it came with was perfect. And the jelly they put out for the toast is always perfection.
In the past I’ve also tried the Monterrey omelet which was great. Their pancakes are fluffy and giant and perfect if you want something sweet.

Had dinner tonight. They have a smaller menu but everything is well done. The blue crab dip is a real standout dish. I got the honey chicken and my friend got the quail. We shared the butterscotch pudding for dessert. It’s the little touched that make their dishes pop. The butterscotch had sliced bananas in it. Strange and delicious. Can’t wait to eat there again. Prices are comparable to the other restaurants in downtown Rockwall.

Excellent weekend brunch spot. Guaranteed to be crowded but still has a cozy atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive to detail. Bar seating is first available.
Highly recommend the Biscuits & Gravy starter and the Chik & Waffle meal.

My husband and I visited the Fatted Calf during brunch on a Tuesday. Our waitress was nice. The food was good. My husband received a glass of water with dried egg on the side of it, but the waitress gladly brought him water in a clean glass. We both really liked the bacon! We will visit this place again because there are many things on the menu that we’d like to try.

Nice atmosphere and service was good.
Food: about 1/3 of my chicken fried steak was breading. Taste was decent but breading to meat ratio was way off. The cut corn and mashed potatoes were great. Little pricey.

Great “hole” in the on the downtown square for Rockwall. Breakfast / brunch is fantastic from here. Dinner is also phenomenal too. Definitely recommend going there and giving it a try.

Great food! Wanted to try something new. Had the chicken fried steak. The gravy was some of the best I’ve ever had. And then there is this lemon cream pie- oh my! It has a texture between pie and cake with a custard base that is balanced by the cream and blueberries. Amazing!!
