11 Best American Restaurants in Denison

“Outstanding food and a truly lovely experience!“

“This was our first time here. 7/19/2025, we went for our 28th wedding anniversary, everything was great from the time we walked in until the time we left. The food was amazing, my steak was very tasty and cooked to perfection, my corn and bean salad was delicious, never had it before so I'm looking for recipes to try to make a similar one. The waitress was super nice and very attentive too. It is a must-visit again.“

“Phenomenal!!! Great service and everything was delicious!!! Loved the free rolls. The homemade chips and queso were great. Thoroughly enjoyed my chicken and dumplings, dressing, and okra. My son got jalapeño gravy with his chicken tenders!“

“The staff are very kind and my chocolate malt was delicious.
**Warning!!!***
It took me 37 minutes from the time I arrived to get my small chocolate malt and finally drive off. I even tried to get ahead of the game by using the mobile app and that did not work at all because whenever I got to the speaker in the drive-through, they had no record of my mobile order because apparently it hadn’t printed yet. Again, I don’t blame the staff because it’s not their fault that the mobile app is completely useless and then apparently everyone in town decided that they wanted to come out. However, my simple, quick little treat turned into a much longer adventure than I wanted to deal with. Be warned. If you have the time, it’s fine. If you think for one second that you’re going to get out of here in any kind of reasonable amount of time and not burn a gallon of gas and drive-through while you’re waiting on it, you’re wrong.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nick’s Family Restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made sure we had everything we needed. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, with something for everyone—whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a fresh salad, or a comforting lunch. I opted for the catfish fillet and iced tea it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with generous portions and iced tea is best one. What really sets Nick’s apart is the consistency and heart that goes into every meal. You can tell the food is made with care, and that’s not something you find every day. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a fantastic spot for a casual yet satisfying meal. If you're looking for a cozy, family-friendly place with great food and excellent service, Nick's Family Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to come back!“

“Where has Watsons been all my life? Oh wow! I had the most delicious burger ever! Love it!“

“Kid friendly hometown gem“

“This is a quality stop for lunch. The pricing for each item was more than fair, and the portions are large. The steak burrito, chicken quesadilla, and shrimp tacos where absolutely terrific and the lemonade tasted fresh and homemade. Definitely going to be a regular stop from now on!“
