Our family of four recently dined at Trick Rider, nestled inside the stunning PGA Frisco Hotel, and we can confidently say this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in quite some time.
🕯️ Ambiance & First Impressions
From the moment we arrived, the service was prompt and professional. We had dinner reservations and were seated within minutes of checking in—no long waits, no chaos, just smooth, high-end hospitality. The interior is modern, stylish, and elegant, making it perfect for both family celebrations and romantic evenings. While the lighting inside the restaurant is on the darker side—slightly more than we prefer—it adds a moody, luxurious vibe that fits the venue.
🥖 Appetizers & Bread Service
Now, let me start by saying this—I’m not typically a bread eater. But Trick Rider’s bread? Incredible. Warm, fresh, and flavorful enough to make even a bread skeptic reach for a second (or third) piece. The calamari appetizer was equally impressive—light, crispy, and expertly seasoned. It was a perfect way to kick off the meal.
🥗 Hearty Caesar Salad
We also ordered the Caesar salad, and wow—it’s not your typical starter portion. It’s hearty and generous, easily enough for two or three people to share. The flavor is bold and rich, thanks to a heavy-handed Caesar dressing. If you’re not into strong dressings, it may be a bit much, but we absolutely enjoyed it. It added great balance to the richness of the main course.
🥩 Main Course – The Trio Steak Sampler
If you try only one thing at Trick Rider, let it be the Trio Steak Sampler. Every cut of steak was seared to perfection—tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. The garlic mashed potatoes that came with it were possibly the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant—buttery, creamy, with just the right amount of garlic to make each bite pop. While the steak portions might look modest at first glance, they are surprisingly filling and worked out perfectly for our party of four.
🍸 Signature Drink – “All She Wrote”
We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try one of their specialty cocktails, and we’re so glad we didn’t. The “All She Wrote” is a clever, elevated blend of bourbon, Grand Marnier, and vanilla. It’s smooth, warming, and balanced with a hint of sweetness that makes it both approachable and bold. We thoroughly enjoyed this drink—it felt like a custom-crafted cocktail experience all on its own.
🍰 Dessert – Massive Carrot Cake
Even after a satisfying meal, we couldn’t resist checking out the dessert menu—and we’re so glad we did. We ordered the carrot cake, and let me just say—it’s HUGE. The portion easily feeds three to four people. It’s moist, spiced beautifully, and layered with rich cream cheese frosting. It was the perfect sweet ending to a perfect night.
✅ Final Thoughts
From start to finish, Trick Rider delivered a five-star dining experience. The service was seamless, the food was memorable, and the atmosphere elevated the entire evening. Whether you’re staying at the PGA Frisco Hotel or just in the area looking for a refined dining spot, Trick Rider is a must-visit.
If you’re celebrating, hosting out-of-town guests, or just want to enjoy incredible food in a beautiful setting, make your reservation and treat yourself—you won’t regret it.
