50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hickory Creek

“I was born in Indiana. When I was around 4 or 5 my Dad and used to take me to a Mr. Gattis in our small town. The memories I had were great. It reminds me of when everything was simpler and when I knew less. We recently moved to Denton. I wanted to go to a different Walmart because the one in Denton gets packed and sketchy in the evenings. As I was walking in, the bright Mr. Gatti's sign was right in front of me. I was enthralled. I immediately sent a picture to my Dad, and called my wife. My wife also went when she was a kid, and I had no idea. I forgot I even had memories of the place. We planned to go with both of our kids the following Sunday. Sunday finally came, we loaded the kids up, and we went. The space was small, but the memories are what mattered. There were now 3 generations in our family that had been, and I was proud of that. The pizza finally came. The staff were so kind and knew it meant a lot to us. Then I took the first bite.

The scene where the critic takes his first bite in Ratatouille; That was me and my wife in that moment.

We were smiling ear to ear.

As I was sitting there I realized, places like Mr. Gattis are what remind us of the little joys in life.

We are so thankful for Mr. Gattis.“

“My family and I enjoy this location, more since they moved as there is much more parking though getting out on Swisher and heading west can be a bear during traffic times. They should install a light here as there is a lot of Chick traffic and the apartment complex.

The crew is very friendly and responsive to the guests food is properly cooked and always fresh.

My kid loves the sandwiches before going to school and he loves the nuggets. I like their salads.“

“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.

The service really stood out too—our server was attentive, checked on us regularly, and made sure the hookah and everything at the table was taken care of without us having to ask. Great atmosphere, good music, and a comfortable place to hang out with friends. You can tell they actually care about the customer experience. Ask for the KB mix gum mint 50% 25 % mint and 25% mango lassi.“

What really made the visit exceptional was our server, Sol. Sol was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. They made great recommendations, checked on us at just the right times, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Excellent service like that turns a great meal into a memorable one.

“The Best Italian Dining Experience in Denton! Osteria il Muro is an absolute gem! From the moment we walk in, James, the manager, greets us with genuine warmth and excitement, making us feel like long‑lost friends every time. Elsa is an absolute treasure — she treats us like family and delivers the best service we’ve ever had. And the chef? An absolute artist! Every dish is a masterpiece, from the delicate scallop crudo to the savory tri‑tip special, and the desserts… I’m not exaggerating when I say they make me want to cry — they’re that delicious. We never want to leave this magical place. A true five‑star experience from start to finish!“

“Creamy Seoul is my weekend non-negotiable!
The donuts are consistently perfect—soft, fresh, and honestly addictive. And the Korean iced coffee is next level… like I think about it during the week.
What really makes this place special is the service. They remember my boyfriend Joel and me every time we come in, and it just makes the whole experience feel personal and welcoming in a way most places don’t even try to do.
Easily a 100-star experience every single visit.“

“Love this place“

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

“$5 per person to play is a great price, they have a huge selection of games! We just got some sodas so I can't really comment on the food. It does get a bit loud in the evening making it hard to talk/read instructions so I would recommend bringing earplugs to put in while reading.

Amending my review because I didn't realize there were cushy seating options for smaller groups, thank you for letting me know! :)“

“This is by far my favorite pizza ever! We found them accidentally as we were looking for food delivery late night and they were one of the few open and we are SO happy we found Zalat!
