“Their catfish is really good. The “pieces” are almost filets so be hungry. Great service. Old town cafe experience.“

“Our experience was top notch! We started with the brie appetizer and added baguettes, which were suggested by our bartender, it was delicious! We followed it with the grilled snapper with shrimp ceviche, it was superb! We topped it off with the peanut butter cheesecake, it was delicious! Did I also tell you they have happy hour Tuesday through Sunday 3p-7p? We will be back! We enjoyed the experience and our food was delicious!“

“We visited Verf's on 9/19/25 and Jose F was our waiter. The food was wonderful, and our waiter Jose did an excellent job checking on us but not becoming annoying by constantly asking if we needed anything. We sat near the bar which was a tad noisy, but the booth we were seated in was uncomfortable and better suited for larger people b/c the table is too far away from the seats. And our table had an uneven wood surface as we cut into our food. Lastly, the $2.50 discount for Police/Fire/Vets should be a little more ... say 15%. Otherwise, it was an outstanding dining experience.“

“I recently hosted a work event in their private dining room. Blayke and Michael were excellent to coordinate with and navigate my event. They were extremely helpful throughout the process and took care of my guests immacutely. Our servers Garrett and Allison were wonderful and took great care of all us for the evening. The food is phenomenal and at a price that cannot be beat. You also have to check out their brunch buffet because it was also worth every penny! Can't wait to go again and have a nice cold martini!“

“Good food, generously portions, friendly service“

“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.

“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.

“5 stars for Nancy at the bar! She absolutely brings the best vibes—welcoming, upbeat, and super attentive without ever being overbearing. From the moment I sat down, she made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. Drinks were great, service was smooth, and she somehow keeps the energy just right even when it’s busy. If you’re here, sit at the bar and ask for Nancy—you won’t regret it. She really makes the place stand out“

“It’s a no frills taco store, and of my favourites for 3 reasons -
- They are efficient, consistent and have very clear direction on what they offer.
- Everyone including vegetarians have at least 3 good options. All their tacos are customisable with corn tortillas or lettuce as subs.
- Our favourites are the fish and chips, rotisserie chicken, pork & gruyere, beer battered cauliflower and the Mexicali shrimp tacos.“

“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.“

“Starwood Cafe in Lewisville has quickly become one of my new favorite spot for breakfast.
Our waitress, Angela, was absolute perfection. She was so kind, naturally funny, and brought a bright energy to the table that instantly made our morning. She was also very attentive our needs. Hopefully we get seated in her section the next time we go 🤞“

“Katie was my server and she was great. My first time here and I’ll definitely be back. I ordered a snickered ice coffee and I didn’t care for that but my burrito and lemon 🍋 blueberry 🫐 pancake 🥞 was amazing. I was prepared to ask for a to go box but I finished all my food which is a first.“

“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.“

“The great atmosphere and amazing staff make this one of my favorite places in Flower Mound!“

“There are 3 things I love about Korner Café. The first is the wonderful food, next is the waitstaff that pays attention to detail and are very attentive. The last thing is the friendly atmosphere and the other customers. Thanks Korner Café.“

“I have eaten here so many times through the years and the quality of the food and service has been consistent throughout. Tonight was no exception. The only thing that put a damper on our evening were the three children who were literally running amok in the place. Two moms who clearly wanted a night out away from kids. Next time I will ask to sit in the bar area. Otherwise a good vibe to go with the good food and very friendly staff.“

“Very Outstanding Service....Food was phenomenal.Daquri was strong and good.Boudin Balls was 🔥“

“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!“

“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.“

“We live by The Brass Tap in Prosper and absolutely LOVE that location — it’s one of our go-to spots for a laid-back night with great food and drinks even with the kiddos en tow! So wouldn’t you know it, I find out there’s another one just about 10 minutes from my auto detailing & ceramic coating business in Little Elm. Talk about a win! Same awesome vibe, great food, and a huge beer selection that never disappoints. Whether you’re there for a quick bite, hanging with friends, or just winding down after work, this place nails it. Can’t recommend The Brass Tap enough — Frisco and Prosper both have solid teams running these spots!“

“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.“

“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.“

Food wise I was expecting average, however it is top tier quality wise and portions impressive! The fresh squeezed juice was best Ive tasted too and now will def be added as a weekly spot no doubt! A++++“

“We always go to Mamma's daughter's dinner for lunch on Fridays. It's become a loved tradition and we especially enjoy the service Rusty provides and always ask for her specifically. We love the way she treats us as family and she brightens our day and makes us feel special even when we are having one of those bad days. We always look forward to the good food and the special way we are treated. Rusty is a sweet and wonderful person.“

“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“

“Friendly People good food“

“Food was fresh, affordable and the presentation was even better. Music City Hot is one of their best flavors. Only things is I tried to order online once and it said they were closed and then I tried to call in an order and no one answered. This 1-2pm on a Wednesday so not sure if the hours of operation are correct.“
