“This was a cool little find. We were treated like royalty by our server Rachel for being first-timers. The venue itself is cute with an outdoor patio in addition to indoor booths and tables. The French Onion Soup was very tasty and a bit different - topped with puff pastry rather than cheese, but the cheese was still nice and gooey inside the soup. My wife said her tenderloin salad was good. We both enjoyed her blackberry smash. We live in Garland so we won't get there often, but it will stay in our radar when we're in the area.“

“I'm eating a taco for the first time, and my experience at the shop was wonderful. It was very tasty! I feel like I should come back to this shop again and again to eat. I will definitely come regularly. You should also try it at that shop; you'll like it too.“

“Anita was such a great waitress Friday night! She made sure we were taken care of through our entire reservation. The first DJ around 6 was great. They then switched to another one that was terrible and then switched to ANOTHER DJ again that was great. Bathroom could use a good deep clean. Drinks were fantastic for the happy hour price.“

“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!!!“

“Used to come here all the time before we moved out of town now we stop here every time we're in town , seen they have new menu we tried the homemade tomato soup and I was skeptical ordering it but glad I did, it was really good even my husband liked it, I was very surprised he liked it lol . Oscar was our bartender he did an amazing job keeping everyone around the bar and tables happy while the other bartender was in slow motion.“

“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!“

“Awesome Times is just a really great place to get a simple quality meal with no fuss. Their burgers and sandwiches are great. Their bowls are delicious. The bar has lots of great drinks. They have hosted the Marcus Varsity Baseball team for team dinners several times and given the booster club a good deal. They were a great place for parents to come after we defeated Southlake in the playoffs. Awesome Times has catered my son’s graduation party. Awesome Times consistently makes great food and delivers excellent service. My family goes there at least a couple times a month and we plan to continue.“

My husband had the burger, which he said was delicious. We both ordered the Grapefruit in a Glass, which, was good. Brian, our server and bartender, did an excellent job and was very efficient. Will definitely go back.“

Loved the check in personal touch by Tommy!“

“I have visited The Apron a few times over the past several months, and each visit continues to remind me of why it remains one of my favorite places for breakfast and brunch in Frisco. The ambiance immediately sets the tone for a relaxed and comfortable dining experience. The warm, contemporary decor, and soft lighting, creates a cozy atmosphere to enjoy a delicious meal alone or with family and friends. Whether seated indoors or on the outdoor patio, the environment invites you to slow down and savor every moment. The staff is consistently attentive, courteous, and welcoming. Their professionalism and friendliness contributes greatly to the overall dining experience , making each visit feel personal and unrushed.

On one of my early visits, I ordered the Brisket Benedict, the brisket was rich, smoky, and tender and paired beautifully with the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Since then, the menu has changed slightly, and the Benedict now features ham in place of brisket. While I did miss the smoked brisket, the ham version was still satisfying. The ham was thick sliced and tasty, and didn’t take away from the texture or flavor of the dish.
Another one of my favorites has been the pancakes. They are light, airy, and perfectly golden with a subtly crisp edge. The portion size is very generous and they have a delicately sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with maple syrup and fresh fruit. These pancakes are the epitome of comfort food for anyone seeking comfort as they are most indulgent.

The avocado toast was pleasant, though not a personal favorite. It has a good balance of flavors, but compared to the other items, it felt somewhat underwhelming.The breakfast tacos, however, were delicious and satisfying. They were generously filled with brisket, fluffy scrambled eggs, and some seasonings that offered a gentle kick without overwhelming. I choose the fresh fruit cup as a side for each dish, and though it required a small upcharge, the fruit was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented.

One of my favorite things about this restaurant is its outdoor patio, which overlooks the lush greens of the golf course. The serene ambiance is enhanced by the gentle sounds of a nearby waterfall and the sight of native hummingbirds and butterflies fluttering among the vibrant landscaping. On one particularly memorable morning, we even spotted a hot air balloon drifting overhead, it was an unexpected delight that perfectly captured the magic of this location.

Finally, the hotel itself is stunning, with elegant architectural details and cozy sitting areas. The valet staff is phenomenal, they are efficient, friendly, and always ready to assist with a smile.
We have had such lovely experiences at The Apron and will definitely be back.“
