I tend to get cosmos but I'm not too crazy about theirs. How good the food is far outweighs this minor drawback. LOVE the pulled pork tachos. Get them every time. Most of the time I just get multiple appetizers. Gyozo perfectly seared and flavorful. Fried shrimp tempura has a nice light batter so you can appreciate the shrimp. Pork belly bao is yummy. Meat so tender. Not too fatty. Slaw adds a nice crunch. Will return here every time I visit. Prices good too Walking through kitchen to get to the bathroom is kinda weird though!”

Koji Sushi 3220 Teasley Ln #112, Denton Sushi

“Our 1st time trying this place. We haven’t had any luck with finding a good sushi place since living in Denton for 5 years. Restaurant is clean and neat. Sushi chefs are Japanese which is a plus point. Servers can be a little bit more friendly. We ordered miso soups, a deep fried roll, salmon and tuna sashimi. The order came with salad. The salad didn’t look appetizing to me. The miso soup and deep fried roll were ok. The best part that we came for is the Sashimi was so so fresh. We would come back for the sashimi. Maybe just personal reference, we don’t like rolls with too much sauce on them.”

The atmosphere can be a little loud but that's to be expected in an open concept space. The servers were helpful and came by to check on us frequently. The food was good. We tried the shaved Brussels sprout salad with goat cheese and apples. The poutine and fries had a tasty sauce that was somewhere between an au jus and a gravy. The pimento cheese dip was ok. I love a good caprese salad so we definitely had to try the caprese skewers and they did not disappoint. Our favorite dish by far was the mushroom ravioli, it was so creamy and earthy. It paired well with our bottle of red wine. We will definitely be back!”

Ask for Haley and Ava on your next visit! They are the best and you will not be disappointed! The inside was super clean and they are consistently updating the interior for their new future customers!”

Barley & Board 100 W Oak St, Denton Brewpubs • $$

“I was invited to come to dinner here for a friend's birthday, and was excited to finally try Barley and Board. The restaurant itself is very adorable, and has plenty of opportunities to capture cute photos. Our group was well looked after, and our server continuously came in to check on us. At one point, the manager also came to check on how we were doing, and let us know if we were looking to do anything else they had a whiskey bar upstairs, and downstairs was a speakeasy Latin club! Our group found it to be very cool, and wished we could've went in to check them out but couldn't stay out late. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food, but I think we all loved our drinks more than anything. I ordered their chicken sandwich with only jalapeños and a side of potato chunks. The sandwich tasted great and I finished it entirely, but I was incredibly disappointed by the potato chunks. I don't enjoy eating potato chips with my sandwiches, so I asked if there was a French fry substitution available. Our server let me know they no longer make French fries, but they could provide me with plain potato chunks. I agreed to the substitution, but struggled eating some of them because they were baked for so long the skins were rock hard on some of the chunks. I had to scoop out soft portions of the potatoes which made a bit of a mess on my plate. I wish they could've been better as the substitution did result in a $4 up charge. I ordered a vodka smash for my cocktail, and it was incredibly delicious. It had some sweetness to it, and I loved the fruit the cocktail had. At the end of our meal, our server did ask my friend celebrating her birthday what dessert she'd like to enjoy, and gave her a complimentary new s'mores dessert the restaurant was offering. My friend shared with us, and we all found the dessert to be incredibly delicious. All in all, the experience was nice, but I do think this establishment would be better for some mimosas and light snacking with your friends on the square.”

“We were greeted quickly by the lovely owner, she took our order and then chatted with us a bit. We order chips and salsa, the salsa was good. The chips a little thicker than we like but still good. I had a carnitas taco. The taco was on a flour tortilla, with onion and cilantro. The pork was very tender and good. I also had the fajita chicken taco. I would order them both as street tacos next time. My husband had the chicken flauta and quesadilla. The chicken was moist, and the flauta was tasty. Glass bottle cokes for drinks. My husband tried the fountain Mountain Dew but we just aren't fountains soda fans. We will definitely return. And wish this lovely couple of 45 years many more years of happiness.”

Whataburger 712 Fort Worth Dr, Denton Fast Food • $

“I stopped in this evening after a very long day at work, because I received a coupon that I wanted to use. I just wanted to take a second to brag on the young man James, who was working the counter. He was very patient with me while I had a somewhat complicated food order, then also proceeded to pay with some change, as well as my credit card. I know how frustrating difficult orders can be, especially in a fast food, setting sometimes, but he remained very professional, and even went above and beyond to make sure I had specific items I asked for. I frequent a lot of Whataburger, and sadly, this is not the level of service that I receive most of the time. Kudos to James and the team at this Whataburger closest to me. They are always on point!

“I love coming here because the food is really good. One thing that ruins the dining experience is they have 2 different stereos playing. In the dining area they play Latin music, but in the kitchen they blast whatever music the staff wants to listen to. It makes it feel chaotic and not pleasant hearing two different songs the whole time we’re eating. Also service seems a bit slow. I have to ask for them to bring our desserts out even though it’s clear we’ve finished the entrees. Food is excellent but the dining experience could definitely improve.”

New York Sub-Way 305 W University Dr, Denton Sandwich Shop • $

“A very quaint sub shop that bases it's atmosphere around the history of New York. Kind of an odd ball when considering it's location, but the food is excellent, the service is of the highest quality, and it's actually pretty cool to experience art and history that's culturally significant to another place while enjoying a sub. Prices are very fair. I was almost surprised to see a reasonable bill the first time I went. My only real complaint is entirely personal preference and that is that the Cajun style sub doesn't remind me of Cajun food in the slightest. It's still a great sub by itself, but it's very lightly seasoned and not spicy as most folks tend to associate with Cajun food. Overall, it's kind of hard to do better than New York Sub-Way when you're looking for a sub.”

Stacks Pancake House 1020 Dallas Dr, Denton Coffee Shops • $

“Older place but clean and organized. A wonderful smell of pancakes as you walk in. Seated right away in a half full dining room, eclectic crowd much usually means good food. Server was pleasant and timely. I ordered the cowboy omelet that comes with exceptional shredded hash brown, and your choice of toast. My wife had the short stack with a side of bacon and hash browns. Both meals were very good and a standard diner fare done very well. I was very impressed with the cook on the hash brown; crispy on the surface but soft on the inside. Most places overcook them but these were the star of the show. One item could be improved and that is the temperature of the milk. I ordered a glass of milk and it was just cool, almost room temp when it should be very cold. Overall, we will definitely come back here.”

One family next to us was struggling with their toddler. Not very kid friendly, I’d say!”

“I love this restaurant it is my new go to place for delicious authentic Mexican food! I was starving one night back in February when it was really cold and I was craving chicken mole so bad! I haven’t found very many authentic Mexican restaurants in Denton that make Chicken Mole. So I was so excited when I came across Don Chiquitos! They have the best Chicken Mole I have ever had! It was so full of flavor and I also got so full!They give you really big portion sizes! It’s also really affordable a lot more affordable than most restaurants! I have also tried their Al pastor tacos and they are amazing! Im already addicted to Don Chiquitos food and the cheap prices too! This is my new go to authentic Mexican restaurant at the moment!”

“I love coming here because the food is really good. One thing that ruins the dining experience is they have 2 different stereos playing. In the dining area they play Latin music, but in the kitchen they blast whatever music the staff wants to listen to. It makes it feel chaotic and not pleasant hearing two different songs the whole time we’re eating. Also service seems a bit slow. I have to ask for them to bring our desserts out even though it’s clear we’ve finished the entrees. Food is excellent but the dining experience could definitely improve.”

Dillas Quesadillas 1715 S Loop 288 #100, Denton Mexican • $

“I've eaten here a few times and always enjoyed it- finally remembered to write a review! I typically get the founder, but decided to try the lone star. It was pretty good. The brisket had great flavor and was tender. I wish the meat was more evenly spread amongst the tortilla as it all clumped to the "bottom" of the quesadilla. The top half wasn't eaten as it was just tortilla and cheese. Seasoned fries were amazing as always. I always forget to order extra jalapeño ranch; it's yummy with whatever quesadilla you order AND the fries. Not much spice to it, but I also have a higher tolerance for spice. The cirrus corn salsa was forgettable; tasted like a bland homemade salad that went heavy on corn. Wasn't terrible, wasn't great. I wouldn't order it again. Chips and queso were delish and came free when I signed up for their rewards program. The queso had a Smokey flavor to it and a very subtle heat. The chips had whatever seasoning the fries have, which I love. I do wish the seasoning was distributed more evenly across the chips. I also ordered a limeade with this meal; not too sweet and very refereshing. It could have a tad more of that citrus tart I love so much in lemonades/limeades. A great change of pace from traditional fast food. The workers are nice and the service is fast.”

“I found Hot Spots Eat Fresh after looking around for spots nearby that searched for General Tso's chicken. This is one of my favorite dishes. This restaurant had high reviews, the food pics look good, so I said why not give it a try?I placed a pick up order online from their website and parked and went inside to get my food. I did notice they do have a drive through and curbside pick up. Inside was pretty spacious and it had a few people eating around lunch time on a weekday. My food was ready when I went to get it, which was awesome.General Tso's chicken was very delicious. The piece of chicken meat was fresh and tasty and good pieces, but the tough and chewy parts of the chicken. The flavor was good, not too sweet or spicy. However I wish they had broccoli included. The rice was steamed food and tastes as you would expect white rice from a Chinese restaurant to taste like, bland to mild flavor (It's white rice).I definitely would recommend this spot and you should try them out too. I know I'll be back!”

New York Sub-Way 305 W University Dr, Denton Sandwich Shop • $

“A very quaint sub shop that bases it's atmosphere around the history of New York. Kind of an odd ball when considering it's location, but the food is excellent, the service is of the highest quality, and it's actually pretty cool to experience art and history that's culturally significant to another place while enjoying a sub. Prices are very fair. I was almost surprised to see a reasonable bill the first time I went. My only real complaint is entirely personal preference and that is that the Cajun style sub doesn't remind me of Cajun food in the slightest. It's still a great sub by itself, but it's very lightly seasoned and not spicy as most folks tend to associate with Cajun food. Overall, it's kind of hard to do better than New York Sub-Way when you're looking for a sub.”

Everyone at our table enjoyed their food, but I think we all loved our drinks more than anything. I ordered their chicken sandwich with only jalapeños and a side of potato chunks. The sandwich tasted great and I finished it entirely, but I was incredibly disappointed by the potato chunks. I don't enjoy eating potato chips with my sandwiches, so I asked if there was a French fry substitution available. Our server let me know they no longer make French fries, but they could provide me with plain potato chunks. I agreed to the substitution, but struggled eating some of them because they were baked for so long the skins were rock hard on some of the chunks. I had to scoop out soft portions of the potatoes which made a bit of a mess on my plate. I wish they could've been better as the substitution did result in a $4 up charge. I ordered a vodka smash for my cocktail, and it was incredibly delicious. It had some sweetness to it, and I loved the fruit the cocktail had. At the end of our meal, our server did ask my friend celebrating her birthday what dessert she'd like to enjoy, and gave her a complimentary new s'mores dessert the restaurant was offering. My friend shared with us, and we all found the dessert to be incredibly delicious. All in all, the experience was nice, but I do think this establishment would be better for some mimosas and light snacking with your friends on the square.”

Seven Mile Cafe 2123 Sadau Ct, Denton Brunch • $

“Airy modern farmhouse is the vibe at this breakfast and lunch spot. Visiting from out of town and family that lives in Denton recommended that we go on a Monday midday so we could have either breakfast or lunch with no crowd. Lunch starts at 11:00 a.m. if you want to enjoy the entire menu. Staff is friendly and quick to get you started with whatever coffee orders or other drinks you would like. I ordered the butter pecan latte, not all that decadent when you see the other drinks involving ice cream on the menu. So tempting! We came with specific things in mind to order. The Monte Cristo was a must have. The "Almost Famous" Cinnamon Roll was another. The Monte Cristo is a ham & cheese filled breakfast sandwich, dipped in French toast egg dip and deep fried golden and crisp. Served with a pot of blackberry compote and a pot of a vanilla cream, for sandwich dipping or spreading. This sandwich hits all the flavor notes perfectly. Definitely a place that I will come back to the next time I visit Denton!Parking: Fairly large parking lot, but on a busy weekend I'm sure that it becomes more of a challenge.Kid-friendliness: Perfect place to bring the kids, they do have items that would appeal to the younger ones. Lots of space between the tables and room for high chairs.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible, most of the restaurant is on one floor with plenty of room between tables to maneuver.”

“This place was awesome. We went there on a whim, looking for another place and ended up here.Yes, it's small. Yes, the entrance is rather interesting and the parking area has something to be desired. Is an old strip mall. But once you get inside, it is a cozy family restaurant with the owner Syd and I think his brother Syd running the place. Who cares about the decor and table cloths if the food is good!The food was amazing and was really prepared fresh to order. I was debating between the beef and sausage so they offered to combine them. They also combined the meatballs and the meat sauce for my GF. The serve was very personable and I can see where some get offended because you have to engage them as they are trying to manage the tables and cook.We spoke to them after quite a bit, and they recommended reservations because it's only the two of them. And they want to make sure they can take care of everyone who they seat so if there's empty seats. It does not necessarily mean that they have an open table , I told him we'd be back and he recommended we call for a reservation so they save us a spot to make sure that they can serve us well. This is not some chain store and they know they have good food and will take care of the ones who show them the same respect.I highly recommend this place and those who don't appreciate it as someone said they can go someplace else...”

I was greeted and seated by Cody and ordered a soup and salad...the salad was great. One of the soups of the day was Asian Cabbage...not really to my liking, but the service and ambiance made up for it. Not too crowded, but definately all ages welcome. Literally from newborns to retirees were seated inside. Will visit again soon and try something different.”

The atmosphere of the place was peaceful, and we could easily have a quiet conversation.

“A very quaint sub shop that bases it's atmosphere around the history of New York. Kind of an odd ball when considering it's location, but the food is excellent, the service is of the highest quality, and it's actually pretty cool to experience art and history that's culturally significant to another place while enjoying a sub. Prices are very fair. I was almost surprised to see a reasonable bill the first time I went. My only real complaint is entirely personal preference and that is that the Cajun style sub doesn't remind me of Cajun food in the slightest. It's still a great sub by itself, but it's very lightly seasoned and not spicy as most folks tend to associate with Cajun food. Overall, it's kind of hard to do better than New York Sub-Way when you're looking for a sub.”

“The ambiance is lovely, and the food is delicious. The tortillas are excellent, and my beef fajita was incredibly tasty. I highly recommend this place for families or couples on a date. It's a favorite of mine!”
