Restaurants in Denton

“I recently visited Hawaiian Bros Island Grill and was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the Honolulu chicken.

It was a very savory flavor with a hint of sweetness.

The service was great and the food came out really fast and tasted nice!
Would definitely recommend!”

“Legit eats and cool staff”

“Best Italian food in Denton!! Owner cares about the food he is serving!”

“Great food! I dig it. I love the theme in general. The benches are comfy. I recommend the green Chile pork with a corn tortilla and the republican with a flour tortilla. Get you some tacos, and Enjoy!❤️”

“Best Thai in our area.”

“I know taste is subjective but I love the Coco Shrimp tacos here! I wish it wasn't right by the main road and had a quiet patio though. We make frequent trips here for dinner.”

“I don’t get to eat here nearly as often as I’d like, but I recommend them to everyone I know. Great food, awesome people, and it’s really nice to see Alex and his family making their dream come true.”

“Sidney is great .personable and takes care of the customer needs”

“Food was amazing, love the outdoor seating on beautiful days like today, & Mason was great! Will be back for sure!”

“Holy smokes this place is amazing!!! As good as their social media posts! I moved to Denton in May and I wish I would have tried this place sooner! Hands down best cooking I’ve had in Denton so far.”

“This is what dining SHOULD be everywhere. Everything here has been delicious.”

“The service was excellent, Ethan was friendly and helpful as this was our first visit. We love the atmosphere, very welcoming.

Bought a carrot cake, key lime pie, a latte and chai latte with vanilla both hot.

The coffees had great flavor. The key lime pie crust was a bit crumbly and the carrot cake was a bit dry.

We will definitely be back to try other items on their vast menu.”

“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.”

“The atmosphere, the vibe, the music is on target. The waitstaff is very knowledgeable and pleasant. The food did not disappoint.”

“Great food, prompt service and a unique menu.”

“The food is impeccable and atmosphere is amazing! Cant go wrong with anything on the menu! 5⭐️”

“This place is AMAZING! We moved and we’re so sad to leave our Sushi place behind. Tried tons of places in Denton and surrounding area and were very let down until we came across this place. This place will not disappoint!”

“Man this place blew me away. This was my first time here so I did not know what to expect. I came for a Birthday for a friend where a D&D game was being DM'ed by someone there as a reference point.
Parking was not the best only because it is the area, not the place itself. It is located right in the square so if you are there to walk around for a bit and see a few things it makes sense and would not be bad. For someone who was coming to this place for this event, I had to walk a decent way because I did not find a place to park close.
When I walked in, I knew I would like the place. There are a ton of places to sit and drink beer with a great selection. I had a couple of selections and all were great.
I loved the wall of board games that you could choose to grab and play. I saw parents with kids, what looked like a teenage boy and girl on a date, a group of people in their 40's all playing a game. It was fun to see that.
What I did NOT expect was to be led to a staircase that went DOWN. Underneath his really cool and large room up top, sits 3 separate rooms that could be closed off and held 6-8 people I think per room. I did not get a good look at one of the 3, it may be bigger. It is all wood and feels like a Tavern from the old days. Really cool setup down there and a great feel!
Seating was comfy but I do feel like the room we were in that was for up to 8 people did not truly fit 8 people (with a DM). We had to have someone sit on the side away from the table. Another thing that was lacking a bit was the lack of power outlets as we are all D&D Beyond users which means we had laptops. So we had to make that work. One last thing was that although the rooms were separate, they were still close to each other and we would hear the other group as they triumphed. This was not a bad thing, just calling it out. Our DM did run late but was amazing. She did a great job. Because she was late, we all got a free round on the house which was a great gesture.
I had a great time and would 100% recommend!”

“The food was delish and service was great! Very cute place indeed!”

“Just ate here for the first time! Good food, great service, friendly servers!”

“Tim was funny and engaging…great service and good choice going!”

“This is my favorite spot in Denton whenever I’m craving a poke bowl! Their Build Your Own Poke Bowl is my go-to – I usually go with ahi tuna and sometimes add spicy tuna or tempura shrimp as a second protein, then load up on all the fresh toppings. Their combination fried rice is also a solid pick if you’re looking for something extra filling.

Everything’s always fresh, and you can add tons of toppings (avocado and cream cheese cost extra, but most toppings are included). My favorite sauce mix is the spicy mayo and ponzu. Plus, they always throw a little treat in the to-go bag, like Starburst, which I think is a great touch.

During Lent, especially on Fridays, it can get pretty packed, but most of the year it’s a nice, quiet spot for lunch. Parking at lunchtime can be a bit tricky, though – I’ve sometimes had to park by McAlister's or the Armed Forces Career Center and walk over, or drive around until a spot opens up. I usually order online, and while I wish they had an app to make it even easier, their service is impressively fast. I can place an order when I leave work, and by the time I get there – about 10 minutes later – it’s ready to go.”

“Ambiance is so good. Live jazz on Tuesday night. Outdoor games for the kids. Earl Mar-tea-ni was beautiful and delicious. The food was very good, not mind-blowing, but well worth the prices. Very nice fruit cup with the kids’ meals. The service was excellent, even with just ordering at the bar. Very attentive and helpful! Hard to find places to afford a night out these days, so this is an absolute gem. Will be back for sure!

Kid-friendliness: Many outdoor games and fenced in open space to be able to move around while waiting for the food”

“The only issue is they didn’t have Chardonnay ☹️”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Had a to go order. The chicken and gnocchi soup had no chicken or gnocchi and it was juicy broth and some veggies. I understand if it’s the end of the batch. But don’t serve that to someone who’s paying for it please. I also feel like they don’t give enough dressing per the amount of lettuce they give you since it’s prepackaged I get it. The food Alo’s did come cold. And it was a $6 drive back to the house in a sealed container in a closed bag. Maybe ordering to go just isn’t the best option.

Vegetarian options: So vegetarian options available

Kid-friendliness: Yes of course- very family friendly!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible. Tested it myself!”

“Food was yummy and the service was excellent. First time visiting, and it was a great experience.”

“Chuy’s Denton donates to the community of Lake Cities and we appreciate them. They also have the best food.”

“We have always loved eating at Mi Ranchito so we asked them to cater my husband's 50th birthday party at our home and WOW, WOW, WOW!!! The food was delicious, professionally prepared, and served with perfect customer service. Our guests loved the food and the kindness from the staff!! They also kept things clean and tidy AND when they left, everything was spotless!! They went above and beyond to make our party PERFECT!! We HIGHLY recommend them!!!!”

“It's one of the best subways I've been to! 💯 Tailor and Serenili did an amazing job making the sandwich look with professionalism. Very polite and nice people. And they wrapped my sandwich into 2 half's, making it very convenient for truck drivers. I'll be coming back, definitely! Keep up the good work! 🙏”

“It's fine but they keep putting chocolate chips on the peanut butter waffle... if I wanted a chocolate chip waffle, I'd order that, you know? I can't order online anymore because they'll just do that automatically now... wtf.”

“I’ve only had but excellent service here. Amy is one of my favorite server. She so sweet and kind, I only come to this Dennys because of her.”

“Always the best service here and those burgers are the bomb!”

“My meal was great…But i will say, the lady working their during the night time has a MEAN attitude, No professionalism whatsoever, that is not how servicing should be, Seemed like she was miserable at work, Just an overall bad look to walk in and see . Rude to fellow employees, customers shouldn’t have to see or hear that .”

“THIS LOCATION SAVED MY BUTT! I have fibromyalgia and I was looking at recipes all day for Cornish hens . It should’ve taken 1 hr and I have a new stove . It s was 2 hours and my kids had not eaten . It was 8:15 . I wanted to cry . I walked in and said my issue and I had my food in less than 2 min. It was incredible. I was there and home within 10 min. It was awesome and they were all kind . THANK YOu! You saved this hurting mom from making another dinner .”

“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 service was great! The food was good. One issue, extra butter is .99 cents. We are at IHOP eating pancakes, and extra butter is an upcharge. That one dollop of butter is not enough. I realize costs are going up, but seriously 😐.”

“Amazing food as always, but today we met Norman an 83 year old who works at this location and has worked for Whataburger for 35 years. What an amazing man, he sat down and talked with us and shared some amazing wisdom. It was one of the best moments of our entire trip. Most people knew Norman by name as they walked in and out of the restaurant. Norman is a kind soul and we need so many more of him in this world. We left smiling not just from the food but from the company as well.”

“Been to many McDonald's but this one i loved it food really warm and on point cashier was super nice and polite even with an elder he was patient and amazing great service”

“This is hands down the BEST Taco Bell both my husband and I have ever been to. They have not messed up a single order out of our dozens of orders over the past few months. The staff is always friendly, they give plenty of napkins, and the care they take to make sure every order is correct everytime is astounding. I am thoroughly impressed with this Taco Bell, thanks for always being awesome!

Dietary restrictions: I'm a vegetarian and they are wonderful about not cross-contaminating food items.”

“Burgers were very good. Service was friendly.”

“Upon arriving this fine establishment, we entered into the lobby.It was a little small but felt homey and nature.We each took our turns, my three friends and I, Is ordering off the menu. While waiting for our food , I noticed the mcdonald's Croc toy That they sold A little bit ago were actually very launchable using the table tents to mark our location in this establishment. The food was brought out efficiently and with a smile.I got the five dollar "meal deal" And it did not disappoint I was hoping to see One of our former presidents here today but I don't think he works at this location. I noticed that the Sprite they serve is very tasty even if your friend makes you laugh so hard that you do a spit tank and it comes out your nose a little spicy. But not too bad, pretty good experience.”

“I Loveeee this mcds. The food is always amazing except when there super busy. But usually it's great. The staff are a little rude but there always having to go 100mph.”

“I have to say it's been a minute since I've been here but the food was not precooked and then microwaved. It was nice and hot not Luke warm.. maybe new manager or owner which ever it is I'll be back”

“Great place to unwind and relax”

“Extremely delicious and super friendly service.”

“Great service for 60 years.”

“cozy place and their food is very delicious and very affordable.”

“My wife and I have always enjoyed Greek food. Tonight we took our three boys with us to try a place we have not been to yet. Muhammad went above and beyond to explain to us and my boys what was on the platter. The food was hot, fresh and absolutely amazing. My two picky older boys told us and Muhammad multiple times that it was their favorite food ever. My eldest is in love with Gyros and very excited that they use DoorDash. Push your kids to try new things. Experiences like this can happen to you too! Amazing experience! 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. 😆”

“I love their chef salads made from any of their foot-long subs. The staff is friendly always smiling when you walk into their shop.”

“amazing food, drinks and amazing service”

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!!”

“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.”

“So far the biggest Crawfish I have found this year. The alligator is very good also”

I had the lengua taco and I will be getting it again next time. They have so many salsas at their salsa bar. Every one was delicious. We sat outside and it was such a pleasant atmosphere, inside the rest and out. The staff were courteous and helpful.”

“Avoca has some of the best iced coffee in Denton. My go to is the iced vanilla latte with oat milk or the TX Bourbon butterscotch iced latte with oat milk. They usually have a decent pastry selection as well. The atmosphere is great for meeting a friend or just relaxing by yourself with a morning coffee. There is an outside patio also. The barista’s are really nice and know their coffee. Highly recommend!”

“Very good food. Pesto margarita Pizza and Spaghetti with garlic And olive oil. Delicious!”

“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!”

“Limited and unique beers on tap. But what will make me a regular is the staff and atmosphere. Staff is knowledgeable, kind and funny. I would stop in every day if I lived in town! Best chill vibes and unicorn farts. Beers on tap and take home means you can find new stuff and don't have to commit to peopling just to get it after a long day.”

“So yummy and affordable! Great date night or family dinner!”

“Very fresh and delicious fish Great and quick service. I finally found heaven in Denton! Excellent”

“We were up from Taylor Tx visiting my Mom in Denton today. Wanted to buy us all lunch and found this place on google. We got brisket, sausage, beans, potatoe salad and sauce with all the trimmings. It was perfect, tender moist brisket, sausage had a good bite & flavor and all the sides were good. Definitely will be back when in town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Food was not very good. Service below par. Never visit this location again.”

“The burger I had was the only one that came close to my best choice in Denton. This was an amazing burger. The place is clean with super friendly staff. I need to mention a delicious vanilla ice cream and banana milk shake. Prices? You get more than what you pay for. Please try it and experience it for yourself.”

“I was pleased with service and food. Will plan to eat there again”

“I recommend it highly but check your order. Got the wrong item for the 2nd time in 2 weeks. If the workers were off their phones longer than 30 seconds the order might be right.”

“My family stopped here for a burger when passing through Denton, and man am I glad we did! Food was delicious. Burgers were juicy and flavorful, fries were crispy, even the fountain coke hit the spot. Jaden was our waiter, and he was a gem - enthusiastic, cheerful, and kind the kiddos. A great experience all around!”

“Sidewalk Cafe is our favorite place to eat in Denton county. We have not had one thing to complain about, the food, service, and the cleanliness. Sam is great in the kitchen but SUSIE Is the sweetest friendliest owner we have ever met! Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The best pancakes ever! Always have to get a to go box.”

“Chicken strip dinner was quite good. I prefer the plain fries over the slightly spicy ones that are now served. Good value for the money, but the food temp was not hot enough. Cornbread was delicious.”

“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 ordered to go. The Chana masala was EXCEPTIONAL. And my guests report the garlic naan was also memorable. Actually, everything was fabulous. My only complaint was the heat. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because some things were a little too hot.”

“Great service for 60 years.”

“Used to be very consistent, but the last three times we ordered they didn’t give us pita strips or the free bread, and the falafels were broken up and overcooked to a point where they were hard pieces.”
