50 Best American Restaurants near Hickory Creek

“This was our first time here and everything from start to finish was exceptional. The food was fantastic, reasonably priced & large portions. The speed and accuracy was on point, my strak was cooked perfectly and was flavored wonderfully. The atmosphere is very enjoyable and to top it all off, someone overheard us saying it was our first time here and surprised us with free Blackberry cobbler! Our waiter Tony was by far the best waiter as well. He kept making sure we were doing ok, needed anything, kept our drinks full and was so personable. We will definitely be back! 10/10, DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!“

“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!“

Both times we had to wait for rolls but it is worth it. Thank you for having great food and great service. The atmosphere here is wonderful. It’s peaceful music isn’t too loud so you can actually have a conversation with your company.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Towers is very friendly and has great service. I've been coming for roughly three years now and have not been disappointed. They have a great beer selection which is reasonably priced and great food. Highly recommend!“

“visited The Greenhouse in Denton, Texas, on Friday, July 25th, and really enjoyed the experience. The interior has a great casual dining vibe that’s perfect for conversation — relaxed but refined enough to feel like a treat.

Our waitress struck the perfect balance of attentiveness: available when needed but never intrusive. She gave us excellent recommendations when we were torn on what to order.

Pictured are two of our entrées:

Honey Chipotle Salmon – This was the table favorite. The salmon was glazed with a rich honey chipotle sauce and served alongside jack cheese mashed potatoes and broccolini. The dish was clean, flavorful, and well balanced — the richness of the potatoes was offset beautifully by the glaze. I could honestly put that glaze on anything. 😂

Stuffed Chicken – Filled with poblano pesto and jack cheese, this chicken dish was topped with a creamy poblano pesto sauce and served over the same jack cheese mashed potatoes. While tasty, it felt like it was missing something — maybe a pop of acidity or a marinade to liven up the chicken. Still enjoyable, just not quite as memorable as the salmon.

Overall, we had a fantastic dinner. The wine was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for a quiet Friday night out. I’m sure we’ll be back sooner rather than later.“

“I went to the Cotton Patch Café with my husband tonight and had a really good experience.
I got the chicken fried steak, and it was delicious—crispy, tender, and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes and green beans were great, and the rolls were fresh and warm.
Even though the restaurant was really busy, my server Justina still managed to take care of everything perfectly. She was super nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without any delays.
Overall, great food, great service, and a very comfortable atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Wow! Is there an option for more than 5 stars? The bartender made an absolutely fabulous, one-of-a-kind smoked old fashioned. The steak... I've paid three times the price for a meal with a fraction of the quality of this one. The meat was so tender that my steak knife was purely decorative, and the flavor was out of this world. Au jus or A1 need not apply, this thing was juicy and absolutely perfect. I cannot believe of all the restaurants I've come across in my travels that the Hilton Garden Inn would rank in my top 3, but this was truly fabulous! 12/10! 👏👏“

“Chef Hector is back and food is amazing!!! Wednesday Pasta Nights are exceptional (kids eat free) and Friday Steak Night's are a meat lovers dream! Haven't tried Brunch yet, but Hector NEVER disappoints, so I trust it is wonderful.“

“This was an unexpected stay after a missed airline connection. We arrived around 2am and checked into a very nice room. We haven’t stayed in a Courtyard as new as this— really nice! We had no luggage and were provided with all we needed, toothpaste/toothbrush, razor/shave cream, comb, brush, hairspray. The beds were comfy for our very brief stay. Towels were fluffy, bathroom very sleek, modern. Taxi called for us when we needed it. These weary travelers are very appreciative!“

“Excellent service. Good very good“

“Lunch was so yummy and the server, Kevin, was such a delight that we returned to eat dinner the same night and requested he be our server. The menu is expansive and surely anyone can find something to suit their tastes. We both had protein bowls for lunch and the filets for dinner. The protein bowls were so flavorful we didn’t feel like we were eating a healthy meal option. The waffle fries with gringo cheese dip, the macaroni and cheese side dish, and the summer salad are must tries. Everything tasted fresh and homemade including the salad dressing. Nothing was cold, stale or past its eating prime. In brief, eating at 54th Street was a culinary experience and the prices were absolutely reasonable. When in the area again we will definitely eat here again!“

“We LOVE Dix Cafe and is our favorite in the metroplex. We've gone to many brunch spots but the flavors here are amazing and the decor is lovely. The Greek Omellete is our favorite and I am not even an omellete person! The blueberry pancakes have the perfect outer crispness while being soft and fluffy inside. The waffles are also excellent. I've had the eggs benedict and it is also great. The maple butter syrup is to die for! You truly can't go wrong with any of the food here. My only wish is that they had healthier ketchup that doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup but that's what most places have. Go here, you won't regret it!“

“Recently, I finished my first 6 sessions at O2 Life. Carrie Padilla (Owner) was amazing to work with. She explains every step and set me up for success completing my first round of O2 Life. I was new to the EWAK process but felt at ease learning how this activity would benefit me in the short and long term. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their overall physical performance, athletic ability, or just jumping back from a bad Covid-19 spell. Who would have thought having high doses of oxygen could make you feel so good.“

“Need to try the Fried Ice Cream! It is to die for!!!“

“Great service and great location , I came in on Tuesday morning this week . For starters I was greeted immediately as I sat down by morgan. She was very helpful with my questions and also entertaining the whole time. The beer is amazingly cold I always get the dirty blonde. The smoked wings are the best with the Cajun dry rub.“

“Limited Time Walleye Dinner. Delicious. Cheese Curds. Culver's Root Beer. Clean. Friendly service. High Quality.“

“We celebrated my daughter’s bridal shower in the Vintage Room recently. It was so nice! The food was incredible and the room was beautiful. Both Jenn, the owner, and Sara, our event hostess, were a pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for a place to have an event- I highly recommend Sip + Savor!“

“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.“

“Friendly People good food“

“My boyfriend and I used to eat here every weekend. We love the food and service. We would walk in, and they were always so friendly. We had a favorite booth and our favorite breakfast. They knew both! Hadn't been in a while, and went back this past weekend. Our usual server who knows us well was so happy to see us! It's a busy place, but the service and food is always great. It's nice to go someplace where they make you feel like family.“

“We have four adults and three kids for dinner. The food was delicious, from the artichoke dip and pan seared pork dumplings to the pasta, steak, and salads. The server was very attentive to our needs and ensured our drinks were kept filled and the food came quickly. I travel weekly and in 26 years have never eaten at a hotel restaurant without staying at the hotel, this was my first time and I highly recommend this place.“

“**The Hungry Beard**
Honest food review for Oldwest Cafe of Denton
I’m reviewing this for their breakfast/brunch

Food: 4.2
A very good brunch/breakfast spot. I ordered an array to really get a feel for the place. The menu is extravagant..took me some time. The flap jack was great. Huge portion, great flavor. Not too dry. Biscuits and sausage gravy were good. Biscuit was soft/thick and gravy was a good consistency. The bacon wasn’t as crispy as I like and was thicker cut, so had a bit of a meaty chew to it. The fried potatoes were delicious and crispy. Honestly probably the best ones I’ve had, most places are soggy. The ham was mid. Not my favorite. I ordered over easy eggs and they were very watery once cut. The whites weren’t done (sigh). Waitress quickly brought me over medium (Which shouldn’t be the doneness of the white. Over easy eggs have a runny yolk, while over medium eggs have a slightly more cooked, jammy yolk). Nonetheless they were better and more so what the over easy should have been. Be advised when ordering them this way. Ramsey does say a true test for a chef is make him cook an egg! French toast was excellent, and the fruit was fresh. Other than the egg debacle, I can see why so many people eat here. Huge portions, large menu to cater to a lot of different people, and the food is well above chain breakfast spots. Not innovative, but good!

Service: 4.0
Nothing spectacular here to report, but the job was done. She asked how our food was and I gave my feedback on the eggs. She quickly offered to remake them.

Atmosphere: 3.6
I ate here for Tuesday brunch. It was still pretty busy and loud. They have lots of seating (booths as well). It appeared clean. Decor gives me Cracker Barrel vibes. Lots of families, kids, & babies. If this describes you, you’ll fit in just fine! Hard to find places to bring kids/big families, and this is a good breakfast spot with a menu that will appeal to a lot of variety of people. If you’re looking for a romantic brunch spot though this isn’t the place.

Overall: 4.0
Good breakfast/brunch spot for Denton, and can see why so many people eat here. It’s not on my best breakfast spots, but it’s well above mid. Bring your appetite!“

“We ate here today and had a wonderful experience. They were accommodating with the table so we could see the Packers game, patient with our spirited young child, and the food was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. We’ll for sure be back often!“

“The food and prices are Awesome. The servers are always friendly. Down home cooking. Makes you feel like your at home cooking a big meal for yourself. All my friends and family I have taken Love this place as much as we do. If we could we give this place 10 stars.“

“We were visiting from out of town and a local friend recommended this restaurant. My tween daughter and I had dinner here, and it was phenomenal! The food was so good, I went back and got takeout too. Can’t say enough about the delicious, clean food! We had fish tacos, smoked chicken salad and a small Brussels sprouts salad. Picky eater daughter had the kids chicken tacos and raved! Yum!“

“literally everything on their menu is 🔥🔥 I'm not friends or family, I have no idea who owns this place but this is a Lewisville gem at this point. I miss the larger menu from when they first opened but I get that was kind of huge and maybe needed to focus. (But please at least bring back the waffle stick dessert stuff). I had the smash burger today for the first time and it honestly might be the best burger I've ever had.“

“Food and service are both very good. You won't be disappointed.👍“

“Went Firstwatch and after having a bad experience at my doctors visit my son and I wanted breakfast. We were seated right away and a young lady by the name of Iris took care of us. What a breath of fresh air. This young lady was polite and very attentive. You guys have a gem working for you. I will be back just to be in her company. Armando C“

“Had a fun time with friends at LP! Great food! Husband especially liked the awesome beer selection and his delicious burger! We received great service with Sibley who was a joyful delight and so sweet! We will definitely go again!“

“Peek in the window and you'll see its packed with customers which says more than I could ever say. Real authentic home cooking, dinners with three sides and cornbread. Famous for their wide selection of pies and Sunday breakfasts. Once got two biscuits and gravy, not realizing they would be massive size.“

“The best bar I don’t tell my friends about. Great staff, live music, fun games during the week and the food. Best kept secret.“
