“Cookies are fresh and delicious, staff is always very friendly and quick to prepare the order
Parking: In a shopping center and there are very few parking places up close to the building for those that need them , it's a busy shopping center”
“The Best Italian Dining Experience in Denton! Osteria il Muro is an absolute gem! From the moment we walk in, James, the manager, greets us with genuine warmth and excitement, making us feel like long‑lost friends every time. Elsa is an absolute treasure — she treats us like family and delivers the best service we’ve ever had. And the chef? An absolute artist! Every dish is a masterpiece, from the delicate scallop crudo to the savory tri‑tip special, and the desserts… I’m not exaggerating when I say they make me want to cry — they’re that delicious. We never want to leave this magical place. A true five‑star experience from start to finish!”
“Food was amazing, love the outdoor seating on beautiful days like today, & Mason was great! Will be back for sure!”

“Coco Shrimp is absolutely amazing from the food to the staff! I was having a rough day and lost my appetite and I couldn’t eat what I had ordered. Levon Juarez came to check on me and asked if there was anything wrong with the food and if everything was alright. He offered to take the food back to change it if something was wrong. When I told him I just wasn’t hungry, he made sure to pack my food up for me and checked if needed anything else and gave me a gift card which I felt so bad for because I was just having a bad day and nothing was wrong with the food. But thanks to him my bad day, became way better. He was incredibly kind and that’s just the behavior of Coco Shrimp employees. Totally worth checking out and the tacos are to die for! I always look forward to when I can go back.”

“This is by far my favorite pizza ever! We found them accidentally as we were looking for food delivery late night and they were one of the few open and we are SO happy we found Zalat! The pizza is amazing. Always fresh, reheats great and the unique flavors are just perfection. Don’t forget about the dipping sauce they add. LOVE!!”
“I absolutely love coming to egg house. Food is always fresh and DELICIOUS. Service is incredible. it’s always consistent too!!!! I’ve never had an “off” visit here or menu items that aren’t good. Everything hits, every single time. Crepes, waffles, pancakes, skillets, eggs Benedict’s. All FIRE.”
“This place was super chill and I will definitely go back. My only hesitation to visit was wondering if it was dog friendly. I did not see anything mentioning outdoor seating or being dog friendly. The most disappointing thing about my visit was arriving after dropping my dog off at home only to find that it is in fact dog friendly and had 2 dogs inside. The drinks were good and tasted better than the straight Kava I have made at home in the past.
Kid-friendliness: Don't bring your kids here. No official rule. I just say so.”
“This establishment was a nice find while we were in the Denton area. This place is operated by a husband and wife team who said they have been operating the restaurant for 30 years, which explains why their food was so delicious. We live 190 miles away, but definitely plan on going back. The atmosphere in the place was nice and relaxing.”

“Takeaway: go try their damn food!!
We sat outside and staff was kind to wash the tables and chairs tho a dry rag would have been better since it rained😂 BUT food is soooo delicious!!!
We went on a Saturday around noon. It was easy to converse with each other. Curious as to why it wasn’t smashed on a Saturday? I know they host events and live music from time to time which I would love to be able to attend one of these days.”

“I love this place, it’s only minus one star because I wish the hours were extended because when you’re having fun here you don’t want to leave early from this place. It is super cute and so many places to sit and play games. It would be cool if they offered a trivia night, but that’s just wishful thinking. I love the fact they offer drinks here and we have brought our own charcuterie here to munch on while playing games. Definitely fun place to be at.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve been longtime fans of 940’s—back when the hummus and veggie plate had us in a full-on emotional relationship. 💁♀️ Yes, we were a little heartbroken when the menu changed, but we never fault a place for growing and evolving. That said, we had stopped coming for a bit because, honestly… the service just hadn’t been it. The food was always great, but the vibe wasn’t. We took a break. We missed it. And yesturday—we came back. And THANK GOODNESS WE DID. The food was absolutely phenomenal (more on that below), but what truly brought us back into the 940’s fan club was Diana. Our waitress. Our queen. Our Lunch MVP. She was kind, attentive, hilarious, and genuinely made us feel like we were the highlight of her day. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked, gave us fantastic recommendations, and treated us like old friends. She wasn’t just doing her job—she was the energy. She took a great meal and made it a memorable experience. Diana, if you see this: You’re the reason we’ll be back again and again. Give this woman a raise, a crown, and whatever shift she wants. Now, the food: • The pulled pork poppers? 10/10. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and smoky inside, with two sauces that made it impossible to pick a favorite. A flavor-packed appetizer we wouldn’t change a single thing about. • The fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese? Elite. Thick, crunchy, juicy chicken with all the right toppings and that creamy, dreamy pimento that took it into comfort food heaven. • We also tried the Lemon Pom Pom and a Strawberry mocktails—both light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced to pair with the richness of the meal. (We love a good mocktail moment.) Bottom line: Diana + that kitchen crew? Match made in food heaven. 940’s is officially BACK in our regular rotation. 🖤 #DentonEats #940sKitchen”
“My quandary: give Hannah’s the rave review it deserves and risk not being able to get a table on a Saturday night or just pretend we never made it to dinner? Looking for a new restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, my wife made a reservation at this gem in Denton and we were not disappointed. Our table was laid out with rose petals to celebrate the occasion and the staff wished us a Happy Anniversary. The menu had a multitude of items that sounded mouth-watering, so the decision making process was tortuous. We settled on bacon wrapped dates and steamed mussels as appetizers. The dates were moist and the bacon crispy, a perfect bite of sweet and salty. The mussels were perfectly steamed with a delicious broth and the perfect crispy, warm French bread to sop it up. A great start. My wife ordered Beef Cheek stuffed Ravioli, remembering how much she loved the beef cheeks we first ate in Spain. Ground meat in the ravioli topped with a perfect ragu of tomatoes, beef cheek, and vegetables. I am drawn to duck whenever I see it on the menu and the Rosemary smoked Duck Breast was cooked to perfection; crispy skin, juicy meat, and a sun dried cherry pico tart enough to complement its maple syrup glaze. The sliced duck breast was served atop a wild rice and vegetable pancake that was unique and perhaps the star of the dish. Come on, who wouldn’t love pancakes for dinner? A couple glasses of wine with dinner, a slice of award winning carrot cake for desert with an espresso, and exquisite service all evening long made for an ideal anniversary celebration. Thank you to the kitchen staff and everyone in the front of the house and remember to save us a table on Saturday nights. See you soon.”
“SO good! Loved the food, atmosphere and staff were super kind! We tried the Birria Tacos, Barbacoa tacos, and el pastor taco! All were so delicious! They were busy but we got our order in and food brought to us quickly. Definitely will be coming back!”

“Let me tell you what when I saw it was five dollars per pop. I was kind of hesitant, but as they say when in Rome and I’m telling you what I was highly surprised completely amazed so much that I looked into getting a franchise of these back home, I spoke with the owner of this franchise here, Kirk Super awesome guy told me all about the business but what really sells it is all the different flavors and the quality of a gourmet popsicle. This isn’t cheap little popsicle truck with cheap popsicles. This is high-quality good stuff.”
“Of the times I have to rest here I visit this subway why? Well why sandwiches are better than Wendy's burger You can get more food for the same price than the other restaurant that if it weren't for the name I'd swear it's a McDonald's dressed up as Wendy jaja lol”
“Hello was very embarrassing to eat at this Whataburger. The shift lead instructed one her workers to go clean the mens bathroom this basically refused for over 10 minutes to do his job. This guy stalled the whole time to go unclog the urinal a simple task. There was piss water all over the floor and people continue to walk in this gross mess tracking it into the dining area wow”

“The food and service was spectacular! My daughter is Autistic and the manager took the time to bless her/us with a free pancake. Our waitress was awesome. My husband and I are in our 50’s and the crowd there was a younger, hippie vibe but we were made to feel extra special. And I LOVED the hippie salad! We will be going back! Thank you!!!”
“When I tell y’all this food is sent from heaven, I mean it! I found this place when I was looking for places to order on DoorDash. The reviews were so good that I decided to just go up there because everyone speaks so highly of the owners. Be prepared to wait about 15 minutes, but it’s worth every minute sat!! I got 2 of the brisket tacos and a brisket bbq potato. It’s freaking huge! I’m going to try to the brisket sandwich next time because a family that are regulars were up there waiting on their food and told me I gotta try it next! I will be back this weekend. 😆”
“Place has stood the test of time. Without dating myself I used to go here all the time when I was a student at UNT. Still the same place! Giant and I mean GIANT burgers. Fries, spicy fried pickles, and the wings were all great. I try to get a new burger every time I go and I’m yet to have one I didn’t like. They also do a monthly burger which is cool. Good spot!”
“Spent a fun afternoon on the patio and enjoyed some amazing wines! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Our server, Ariel, was so helpful! We joined the wine club. Can’t wait to go back! 😄”

“I came in stressed from work for a comfort coffee. I was immediately greeted warmly and offered things not even on the menu. I was even asked to “please stay” when I said it was to go. This place lifted my spirits and I left much happier than I came in. It’s also huge in here, so a great place to meet friends…next time.”
“Muy rica comida, y la gente amable. Lo único decepcionante para mi es que dos veces eh ordenado Gorditas de Chicharrón Prensado y al llegar a la casa me doy cuenta que es de chicharrón duro o peya como se le conoce en Torreon. Esta última vez llame para estar segura que tenían del prensado y me dijeron que si pero no me dan el correcto. No se cual sea el problema si las de cocina o la que atiende la orden o simplemente no saben la diferencia entre uno y otro”

“Came to celebrate my sister in law and brother in law’s birthdays, so we had 11 people total. Arrived by noon and they were able to get us all seated pretty quickly! I didn’t hear any complaints about food, but I will say The Sundance Kid burger I had was DELICIOUS! If you can’t decide what side to get between fries, chips, or onion rings… skip the fries! The chips were pure deliciousness in my mouth and my husband and daughter swore up and down the onion rings were the best they ever had. Sophie was very attentive and personable and didn’t mind my 6yo talking too much, which is always a plus when people have patience for the youngest of the younger crowd! Between the atmosphere (even the bathrooms smelled nice and were super clean!), the wonderful staff, and the delicious burgers, we would love to come back! As my youngest said: “I give this place a ten out of ten stars!””
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. the birria tacos are generous in portion with succulent meat. very pleasant atmosphere. our server was on it & had a fun & fabulous look.”
“We always have the best time at this location. The staff is so friendly and constantly checking in to see if we need anything! The food is delicious and the place was super clean! Even on busy nights the staff remained super friendly and patient with our girls taking 10 years to pick out a prize 😂”
“We give this 5 stars. I had the double fire breather with sweet tater fries….AWESOME!!!! Wife had the slap Swiss mushroom burger and also had sweet tater fries. She absolutely loved it. Our daughter had the crinkle fries and she really really liked them. We highly recommend this place over any other burger place in Denton.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Feta's food truck in Denton is an absolute game-changer for Mediterranean food lovers. I rolled up hungry and left a believer. The gyro wraps? Perfection. The seasoning was on point, and the meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful in every bite. If you're into falafel, you need to try theirs—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with a flavor that’ll make you rethink all other falafel you've had. The best part? Everything is fresh. You can taste it in every ingredient, and you’ll feel it with every bite. It’s that “made-with-love” vibe that you know when you experience it. And let's talk about the staff—they were friendly, welcoming, and brought a great vibe that made the experience feel like more than just grabbing food off a truck. They were part of what made the stop so memorable. Pros: Fresh, flavorful ingredients that’ll make you crave more. Variety of options to satisfy all Mediterranean cravings—from gyro wraps to falafel and everything in between. Friendly, welcoming staff—they make you feel at home from the first bite to the last. Perfect for a quick casual meal when you're in the mood for something delicious and satisfying. Cons: None. If you’re looking for Mediterranean food in Denton, this is your spot. Final Word: If you’re craving Mediterranean goodness and happen to be near Denton, Feta’s food truck is a must-visit. You’re not just getting a meal; you're getting a burst of flavor that'll have you thinking about it long after you’ve left the truck. Highly recommend!”
“If you want the best iced tea and other beverages this is the place to go. Try the Sweet Georgia Peach tea...it's life changing. The shop is always spotless with the sweetest people working there. They are always friendly and helpful. Whenever I have to attend a potluck I always sign up to bring the tea and always purchase from this shop.”
“This place is crazy enough to even let an unknown starving artist with raw talent and some potential walk inside and well ... just jam with their musicians ... And they let me bring my one dog that is well behaved in public spaces every time they aren't busy!

“My mother & I had a delicious breakfast, her treat. I had scrambled eggs, bacon and LARGE pancakes! Mom had a breakfast burrito and ate every last bit! haha. we also had coffee, a cappuccino and a mocha, delicious. service was good, restaurant was clean. I liked the spoon wall, #spooniewarrior. Next time I'll treat my mom to another meal here!”
“We love this place, for special and normal occasions. I'm terribly sad to say that it closed a few weeks ago. it was our GoTo place, and there's nothing like it near Rockwall. 😔”
“She is fabulous really attentive and super nice.......thank you so much”
“Trying to find parking in a busy school day was not the best, but eventually I did find parking. Once entering, the staff was very friendly and nice and fast service. My favorite cookies were def the cookies and cream.”

“Such a wonderful welcome, from the moment we walked in. We were given some food recommendations, after asking if it was our first visit. The food was amazing! I had the Cuban sandwich and my husband had the Turkey sandwich. So scrumptious! Our server, Kaylie was so sweet and efficient! Another gentleman, Mohit, (I hope I spelled his name right) came by to see how we were doing. We had such a wonderful conversation with him, I felt like I was eating with friends! Foods amazing, ambiance was amazing, all employees made you feel at home! Great place to go. We’ll definitely go again!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give 10 stars, I would because Bryson earned every one of them! Since COVID, restaurant service has really gone downhill in so many places, but Bryson at the Cracker Barrel in Denton completely changed my outlook. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely fun to talk to. His energy made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. The food came out fast, hot, and absolutely delicious. It was exactly how you hope comfort food will be. But Bryson was the real star of the show. He did not just serve us; he made us feel like old friends sharing a meal together. That kind of attention and care is rare these days and it deserves recognition. If you ever find yourself at the Cracker Barrel in Denton, Texas, do yourself a favor and ask to sit in Bryson’s section. You will leave smiling, satisfied, and genuinely impressed. And when you do, make sure to leave him the biggest tip you can because the experience he gives is absolutely worth it. Bryson, you are the definition of great hospitality. Cracker Barrel is lucky to have you!”

“fantastic food, if you catch their breakfast it features alot of good south Indian options . Everything I have tried here has been excellent but the mutter paneer and the masala dosa are my favorites. my only note is to be patient with the wait time because it does usually take a while but it's always worth it 👌”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the ambience at the food truck, it created a great vibe and enhanced the overall experience. Among the items I tried, the Chicken Lollipop, Chicken Pakoda, and Fish Pakoda stood out as my favorites; they were all flavorful and well-prepared. Additionally, the service was excellent. I look forward to visiting again.”
“We went to Portillos for the first time yesterday. We are very happy with the taste of the food. We ordered chili cheese dogs, hot dogs, cup of chili and sides of sweet peppers and giardiniera spicy peppers. All of the food was delicious and we were surprised to see beans in the chili but it was still very tasty. The bread was fresh and tasty too. We live about 20 miles down the road but we will be going back.”
“We celebrated our anniversary last night at Graffiti Pasta. It was our first but definitely not our last dining experience there. From the moment we walked in the door to a very packed restaurant to the moment we left we were acknowledged & taken care of. Faith was our waitress & let me tell you, I have NEVER had a more amazing server. She knew so many things about the menu, was able to offer suggestions without being pushy, she was simply friendly, & just overall such a cool person. I would honestly come back just to see her. The meatball appetizer was our favorite part of the meal followed by the salad.”

“We have been meaning to try this place for awhile but just weren’t sure. Wow! I’m so glad we did! Everything was sooooooo good. And I do mean everything, from the wings to the whole chicken to the sides (we tried four sides and four sauces) right down to the picked radishes. The wings are thick and juicy and the crispy coating on the honey garlic wings is amazing…literally the best wings I’ve ever had. Even my brother (who hates everything) ate a whole plate and said how good it was. The staff/owners were so friendly when we went to pick up. We will definitely be returning! If you haven’t tried it yet, that is your loss! I wish I would have taken pics but we ate it all so fast, we only would have pics of empty boxes.”
“Coco Shrimp is absolutely amazing from the food to the staff! I was having a rough day and lost my appetite and I couldn’t eat what I had ordered.

When I told him I just wasn’t hungry, he made sure to pack my food up for me and checked if needed anything else and gave me a gift card which I felt so bad for because I was just having a bad day and nothing was wrong with the food. But thanks to him my bad day, became way better. He was incredibly kind and that’s just the behavior of Coco Shrimp employees. Totally worth checking out and the tacos are to die for! I always look forward to when I can go back.”
