“Great food and i love the blue hawaiian with coconut on the rim.“

“So much fun! Awesome atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and an unforgettable experience! We will be back. Shout out to Tim and Nate!“

“Brilliant birthday dinner with my love. The pork chop was the best I’ve ever had. Perfect flavor. Chef Rich came by our table and was such a genuine warm and welcoming experience. Thank you for a special evening with my lady. We will be back! Cheers The Heritage Table“

“This is my 2nd time to eat here. On my first experience with a ladies group, I knew I had to bring my boyfriend back! The food was excellent! Drinks and service A+. Also. The lounge on the opposite side was great too. They have a live DJ around 9pm. Will definitely be back to experience more items on the menu.“

“Really yummy food And $2Beers So good!“

“Wow! This place is fantastic. We were walk-ins on a busy night, and they still found a way to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. The hostess was sweet and welcoming, and our server was incredibly professional. We shared some tasty appetizers before enjoying the salmon dish with these sweet and spicy brussel sprouts which was amazing. The lychee martini was my favorite. For dessert, we had fresh crispy churros served with this delicious salted caramel sauce, absolutely to die for! Now, the space is stunning, reminded me of something out of Las Vegas. They even have a Jazz Night, which you’d normally have to go to Dallas for, so it’s great to see something like that right here in Frisco. The manager gave us his ‘fancy’ digital business card since we are planning a birthday party and was gracious enough to give us a tour of their upstairs space answering all of our questions. I will definitely be back. My new favorite place! Uptown in Frisco!“

“We had the opportunity to attend a private event last night and it was fantastic. There is nothing else in the Frisco area that us even close. Everything is top shelf! If you enjoy cigars, craft cocktails, great food and deserts this is your place. The caramel cheese cake and Buffalo Trace old fashions are the best.“

“Such a good experience here! The owners are very welcoming and friendly. The food is phenomenal and so fresh! The indoor golfing facility is a great option for the winter season or during the summer when it’s too hot. It’s our go to place for our weekly date nights. Highly recommend!!!“

“First time visiting and can’t wait to come back. Everything was amazing and service was top notch! Very impressed!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were greeted by owners Rob and Amy, who gave us a warm welcome and a tour of this hidden gem overlooking Lake Lewisville—and let me tell you, the view alone is worth the visit. Drinks hit the table fast, and after a long day podcasting at DFW distilleries, my wife ordered the “Smash That” bourbon cocktail, while I cooled off with a bold and refreshing Texas Mule. Both hit the spot. Then came the Hillview Court Bean Dip—courtesy of Rob and Amy—and it was smashing delicious. Rich, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. I went with a perfectly seared prime ribeye, served with fresh veggies and a crisp salad. Cooked just right, packed with flavor. My wife ordered the Thai Shrimp Tacos, and that sauce? It made them pop—a spicy-sweet punch that brought the dish to life. We closed the night with homemade cheesecake and their decadent bourbon bread pudding—a dessert pairing that could make a grown man tear up. And to finish? A pour of Eagle Rare 12 Year while the sun dipped behind the lake—a true Texas sunset, a full belly, and great company. That’s what I call an amazing night. The live music was the perfect match for the setting—local artists with a little blues in their soul, laid-back and smooth, filling the lakeside air without ever overpowering the moment. If you’re a whiskey lover like Big Chief, this place is a must—whether you’re from the DFW area or just passing through. Hands down the best bourbon bar in Dallas. – Mike “Big Chief” Hiatt The Whiskey Trip Podcast“

“So glad we found this spot. Food was EXCELLENT. Birdies is now Frisco's best breakfast spot.“

“Fantastic music. Great vibe. Drinks are on point and the service was amazing, even on a busy Friday night.“

“We had a great time and were impressed with the quality of the food. Very fresh and the protein options were amazing. Such a cool place, it’s unexpected from the outside. Great cocktail menu. We will be back!!“

“Lombardi’s is the whole package when it comes to dining out. The cocktails, wine, bread basket, appetizers and main entrees were beyond amazing. This is my new favorite place and the best Italian food I have ever had! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was top notch! I am telling everyone I know about this an amazing restaurant!“

“I’ve come here with my family for years and the food and service has been wonderful every time. We love the atmosphere here!“

“Food was great! The brisket quesadilla was 🔥! Fun environment for adults, little or big kids! Will definitely visit again!“

“This was our first time trying this restaurant, and it exceeded our expectations. We sat outside on the patio near the water feature. The atmosphere was very romantic. Jordan provided outstanding service. The food & drinks were exemplary. Highly recommend the Ginger Mule, Lemon Drop Martini, Prawn Pad Thai, Sticky rice, and Grilled Pork Spare Ribs! Everything was clean, fresh, and delicious.“

“Came here for the first time on what ended up being an absolutely Gorgeous Sunday. We chose outdoor seating, and were delighted to have Bentley as our Server. I was a bit overwhelmed by the numerous options available to me (as a vegetarian for 30+ years, usually a fairly limited selection at a burger joint), but Bentley reassured me I could build any combination I’d like. I went with the Vegan Patty (freshly made in house), w/cheddar cheese, crispy onion straws, ketchup, lettuce & jalapeño chutney on the side. It was Effing PERFECTION! I’m so glad we stopped here, huge shout out to Bentley on being exactly what we love in our server: Genuinely friendly, helpful & attentive- you ROCK!“

“Great fun atmosphere good drinks even better owners!!“

“I've been going to this restaurant for several years and its always been the best, however they seemed to have changed management and staff, everyone was new. The restaurant was less then half full and we've never had problems selecting tables that we prefer, however this time they were very adamant as to where we could set and they said there was no options they dictated were we had to sit and they were not friendly or accommodating at all. Even the management was not friendly. In the past the management always came by and chatted to make sure everything was good. This restaurant has really gone down hill. Very disappointing and not sure I will go back.“

“We had our wedding shower at BENDT Distilling Co. last week and it was absolutely amazing! Leading up to our event, communication was phenomenal and they catered to our every need. The shower itself was everything we dreamed up! Thank you, BENDT!“

“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!“

“The Omni Lookout Lounge is one of our favorite spots to unwind and take in the ambiance of the venue and beautiful view. However, I have to share that the only reason we go there is because of our favorite bartender, Antonio. His skills and personality are on point and although he always remembers exactly what I like, when in a mood for something unique or different he masterfully whips up something I always love. He has a genuine, kind spirit that shows in his demeanor towards you as soon as you walk in and sit down. He cares about what you want and then makes sure you are enjoying every sip. It is mesmerizing to just watch him make the cocktails. Mixology at its finest. Antonio makes you feel at home and always serves us with a smile. Blessed to know him and be able to visit and enjoy our time and feel like you are sitting across from someone who cares and takes what he does seriously on all levels. He’s one of the best!??“

“It's definitely a great vibe for HH. Parking no issue, staff like family, food was excellent.. except for the deviled eggs, a little dry and bland (sorry). We ordered everything on happy hour food menu. Drinks were on point!!! DJ was a vibe.“

“We drove an hour for the Christmas pop-up event with our family that came to visit from MD. We loved every bit of the experience. The food and drinks were amazing! Connor, our waiter could not have been better! He was such a sweetheart and was so amazing dealing with our party of 11!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“We love eating here because it’s such a flexible place! Something for everyone. Our favorite however is Bavette Grill and their FABULOUS food & patio!“

“Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Attentive and warm service . Will be back.“

“While the food was tasty, the service was a bit slow.
The menu features a good selection of dishes, and the ingredients seemed fresh. The flavors were well-balanced. Even though the restaurant wasn't overly busy, our server seemed overwhelmed and forgot to check on us including coffee refills.
Overall, the food at Community Grill makes it worth a visit.“

“Always a great time and vibe.“

“Love Earl's! I've been bringing my friends here for years! The vibe is always right. Daytime lunch is great for a business lunch or meet with your significant other or friend. The lounge area is perfect at night with good upscale r&b music. Food is always good, lots of different options and that's what I love about Earl's, there is something on the menu for everyone. 10/10 recommend!“

“There is a history behind The Seven Doors which are throughout the restaurant. Beautiful restaurant and service was 4 stars. The crispy ribs are SPECTACULAR!! This restaurant is on my top 10 list and I can’t wait to try other items.“

“Exceptional food and friendly service. The whole belly clams were cooked to perfection!“

“I really enjoyed my first experience here! Great drinks, fun seating, friendly and attentive staff & management. Great experience!“

“The wait staff has and is very great awesome above anything I have seen before. The manager is awesome goes above and beyond his duties and responsibilities. It's something I totally remember and respect here! Superb support and awesome.“

“Casual AM eatery. Staff is always pretty busy, even when we come on the shoulder of the peak and lull, and they still make the time to serve you. They have high chairs, and it’s loud enough that no one minds an occasional scream or two.

We love that the calorie counts are provided. Great for tracking macros or a cheat meal. I love the range of pancakes, from crisp flap jacks to milk-soaked, they are always tasty!

Definitely recommend joining the waitlist before hand.“

“Great margaritas and awesome food“

“I can not state enough how great this place is! They are the most courteous, accepting, pleasant staff and manager myself and family have ever gotten to experience. We went there and it was my sons 4th birthday and they made the experience something that I (36) never have experienced at a restaurant. From the interacting and caring, to the friendly dialogue and playfulness with my son, to the amazing tasting food and service, this place is beyond compare! Our waiter, Torino, he is the man! I want to give this place 10 stars, 20 stars, 1000000 stars! Please go there soon and often as it is a can't miss! All the love and positivity from myself and family to this place and to Torino himself! Thank you thank you thank you!“

“This is a small but quant corner, you have a variety of stores Tom Thumb being one of them. Then you have numerous eating places like on the border, some kind of Chinese one on the same square as On The Border and many others. Plus you have Chase Bank. You can get in and out from three different sides, coming off of the Dallas Tollway, Parker road or the first street after the Tollway. Makes it convenient and fast to get in and out of there.“

“Great selection of draft beer, great food, great seating, upscale atmosphere, and the largest TV in Frisco.“

“Amazing food and staff! A great place to frequent with their regularly updated menus and fantastic atmosphere!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Studio in the lobby of the Hotel, a Marriott property, while meeting with a client, and our experience was significantly enhanced by the exceptional service provided by Leah. From the moment we settled at our high table, Leah approached us with a warm smile, ready to make our visit as enjoyable as possible.

Leah’s professionalism was immediately apparent. She possessed an impressive in-depth knowledge of the menu, particularly the various meat options. Her enthusiasm when discussing the different protein choices drew us in, and her suggestion was spot on—it was delightful! Leah clearly understands the nuances of the dishes, and her ability to articulate the ingredients and preparation methods made our experience even more enriching.

What I found particularly impressive was Leah’s ability to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. Despite the bustling atmosphere of the lobby, she ensured that we felt like valued guests. Leah struck the perfect balance between attentiveness and space, checking in at all the right moments without interrupting our conversation. Her friendly demeanor created a relaxed environment that allowed us to focus on our meeting.

Leah’s attention to detail truly stood out. She was diligent in ensuring our coffees were always topped off (despite the fact that the Coffee show was already closed for the day: Outstanding! ) and that we had everything we needed throughout our time there. Her commitment to outstanding service was evident and made our experience smooth and enjoyable.

If you find yourself at the Marriott Dallas Renaissance Hotel in Plano, make sure to seek out Leah. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge of the menu, and genuine ability to connect with guests will undoubtedly enhance your dining experience.

Thank you, Leah, for your exceptional service and for making our meeting memorable!“

“Very Nice and Relaxing Atmosphere“

“Went up to Frisco for an appointment and then looked for a Mexican food place for lunch. Picked Lalo’s out per chance and it did not disappoint! My wife and daughters loved the salsa and their food. I loved the salsa too and my food was fantastico! The service was absolutely great! 5-stars in my book and we will be back again (sooner rather than later! 😉).“

“Easily the best ramen I've had in the Collin County area. Hell even the price has beaten inflation! You can't get any better ramen by far. Their broth is just simply different. The noodles are the best rice noodles I've ever have. And this place stays open till 2 am everday?? It's heaven for late night folks. Definitely one of the best restaurants around in general. Their service is still quick as can be and their staff DO take their jobs seriously. With a lot of care and heart. Not many places if any have that type of worth ethic left 🤧“

“Never disappoints! Despite being hot dog themed, The Hot Chick might be the best thing on the menu. Everything is good and everyone can find something. Full bar also, and a covered play area for kids. if you haven't been here, you're missing out!“

“Just love the hospitality of the staff. Feel like welcome.“

“We booked the Winter Igloo experience for New Year's Eve, and it was wonderful! We had s'mores and cocktails, and my daughter had the Gingerbread hot cocoa. We loved the decor and music, and our server was super attentive! I hope they do this again next season“

“I really enjoyed myself with the good food and the wonderful Customer Service & connecting with the customers..Keep it up!“

“Great service and food. Will be back!“
