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.”

They also have vegan versions of so many classic candies.”

The Kava Bar Denton 109 Industrial St, Denton Coffee Shops • $

“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.

d20 Tavern 112 W Oak St, Denton Bar • $

“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!”

Hauoli Poke Teppan 2200 W University Dr #140, Denton Sushi • $

“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”

Hannah's 111 W Mulberry St, Denton American • $$$

“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.”

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.

Sam's Club Cafe 2850 W University Dr, Denton Cafe • $$

“I have to send out my appreciation on the awesome Sam's Club in Denton, especially to Alex, the Pick up manager.Today I had a delivery order sent to my daughter's house as a surprise. Of course it's a third party delivery company called Spark. The driver dropped off the entirely wrong order to my daughter's house and I was very upset. I called the club and talked to a very sweet young lady who must have told the manager about the problem. Alex called me back. He refunded my money and I'm going to reorder the items in my original order. What started out as a very frustrating experience turned into a great customer service experience. We'll just stick to our usual pick up from now on because they have no control over third party drivers. You can count on Sam's to make sure that you have a good experience even if it started out rough. Thank you Alex and team! Y'all are the best and you make me happy to be a Sam's Club member!”

He started by greeting us at the door and quickly showed us to our table near the bar. The bar was incredibly busy but our server made our drinks and brought them out within a decent time. My Margarita was super tasty. We ordered the mozzarella sticks which were amazing but the rest of the food was just okay. Took a little bit for it to get out to us. Ended up waiting for food more than the two rounds of drinks we had. Overall the service was exceptional but food was mid.”

Hannah's 111 W Mulberry St, Denton American • $$$

“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.”
