“Absolutely loved this place! Rodger the owner was in and he introduced himself and he was very friendly. The bartender (not sure of her name; but she’s very sweet) This is definitely going to be my go to when I need to sneak away for an island feeling 🤩“

“This place is seriously amazing! The food always hits the spot, and the atmosphere is just so chill. I've never had a bad experience here, and the service is always super friendly. Definitely coming back again real soon. You guys are the best!“

“Natalie was awesome this afternoon!! She was attentive, personable and professional.“

“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.“

“We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and it turned out to be an amazing experience! The food was absolutely awesome — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The drinks were also really good and perfectly prepared, which made our celebration even more enjoyable.

A special mention to Kriti, who served us. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our time there. Her service truly added to the overall experience and made the birthday celebration even more special.

My friends and I had a wonderful time, and we’re so glad we chose this place for such an important occasion. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for great food, delicious drinks, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We were fortunate enough to have my Dad’s retirement party here! It was a huge success! Sean was very easy to work with on the planning. It wasn’t complicated and we were in control of the process. We made a normal reservation, he gave us the menu and we were able to put together a budget. No contract, down payment, or minimums. Once we arrived to the venue everything was set-up for the party and the food was delicious. Sarah was the manager we worked with on site. She was so nice and accommodating. Madison and McKenzie were in charge of all of our tables for fifty people. They did not skip a beat with taking care of us I highly recommend for a party, night out, or any occasion. Plus it’s connected to a hotel. My overall impression The Shark Club is a fun and clean atmosphere. The staff was communicative, helpful, and the service was everything I needed and more. Food is amazing as well. Tacos, parmesan tots, and the lettuce wraps were a few of the favorites. Prices were also reasonable. Highly recommend and we will be back!“

“My family took me here for Fathers day brunch. Steak and eggs with a bloody Mary. Great was to start the day. Our server Mel was very pleasant and knowledgeable.“

“I didn't get a chance to try any food off the menu so I didn't rate. Otherwise, I went for a dart tournament and there was plenty of dart boards and on the other side of the bar there was plenty of pool tables available. The bartenders/servers were good. They were attentive, friendly and all of my drink orders were correct. Prices were average. I would go back again so next time I may try the food.“

“Had an amazing experience at Rowdy Cowboys in The Colony. My son and I tried the buffalo chicken dip, fried peppers, burger with onion rings, ribeye, and steak bites — and everything was seriously good.

Sophie was our waitress and she was awesome — super friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of. Kenzie, the manager, was also great and made the whole experience feel welcoming.

I also got to meet one of the owners, Rich, who took time to talk with me about the restaurant and how much they focus on great food and guest experience.

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Great place to have dinner or just hangout with friends“

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

“Went in for a short bit drank one beer and someone paid for it. A great establishment and nice it doesn’t smell like cigarettes. Great job legends and whoever paid for my beer thank you!!“

“Went with friends for karaoke and had a blast!“

“Celina is one of the beautiful person and waiter that I’ve ever met, thank you so much goddess. ❤️❤️💯❤️💯🇵🇪💯🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪💯🇵🇪💯🇵🇪💯🇵🇪❤️🇵🇪❤️🇵🇪❤️🇵🇪💯🇵🇪💯🇵🇪🇵🇪“

“The Chilli was just spiced right“

“This is a great laid-back bar. Some nights have more diversity than others, but I like it. DJ could be improved. Tempo needs to be pretty consistent no matter genre. Music would go from upbeat hip hop to slow country back to upbeat pop and down again.

Parking: Attached to Red Roof Inn.“

“People who leave a bad review about anything, and the bad reviews that I’ve read about this place I didn’t even see while I was there. My bartender Valerie was amazing super friendly, talkative, and made really good drinks. Exactly what we look for when we go out for drinks. Service was outstanding! And because of that we bought a membership, and will be back. We had fun.“

“If you haven’t checked out The Anchor Bar yet, you’re missing out. It’s a fun, energetic spot with great food and an even better staff.

We love sitting at the bar, where you can really interact with the team. Farrell (“for real” — you’ll get it 😄), Josh, and Jess are some of our favorite bartenders. They work seamlessly together, always supporting one another to make sure every guest has a great experience. Their positive energy is contagious—it makes the whole atmosphere more enjoyable.

Farrell always keeps us smiling with his playful banter, especially when it comes to our favorite teams. Josh is incredibly friendly and has given us some excellent food recommendations. The grilled chicken tenders are a standout—juicy, flavorful, and consistently delicious. My husband is a big fan of the spicy wings and the roast beef on weck.

Whether you’re going for the food, the atmosphere, or to catch a game (with TVs everywhere you look), I highly recommend The Anchor Bar. It’s the perfect place to relax, have fun, and enjoy a great meal.“

“We enjoy the Sunday night jams! Fun food, drinks, music and singing.“

“Our family loves hanging out at “the dance floor”especially on Friday Movie nights! When we saw the construction going up we were bummed out but what a graceful place this has ended up being! Thanks PGA and Omni!“

“We decided to do our toddler birthday on the patio on Sunday right as they open which made it a perfect time as they are not busy at that time.
I did coordinate ahead of time with the manager on having a decent party arriving to make sure that there won’t be any issues.

We had a lovely waitress Hersyla who took care of our 20+ (adults and kids) party size without a glitch. She was very kind, detail oriented and provided top notch service.
She set up a water station for us, had silverware ready for kids and adults, we ordered food for the table (which was great) and overall had a great time!
Hersyla kept track of everyone’s tabs and drink orders like a pro and there was no confusion at the end. We had such great time that instead of expected 2hrs for a kids birthday we spent 4 hrs there because everyone had fun.
Thank you Hersyla for taking care of us! Rockstar!“

“Sidelines Sports Bar is my go-to for games, cold drinks, and great people. Tons of TVs, solid wings, and a staff that actually remembers your name. Bonus: karaoke lights it up every Sunday and Thursday—always a blast. Highly recommend! Best service and best food! Try the Monte Cristo sandwich, better than Bennigans ever was!!!“

“Food and drinks were a great deal. Tasty chicken quesadillas with fresh peco and sour cream $9.99. Long-island was good and plenty of alcohol to feel them. Great place for a quick drink and or lunch. Have only visited the 1 time. But will go back for sure.“

“Had a great experience for a 16th birthday with family! The Staff were amazing and made the whole dinner so much fun. Their food is awesome especially the smoked wings. We will definitely be back!“

“Highly recommend Local Pint! So good! And the Best owners and staff!! Go support this awesome small business!“

“e been coming to Saintsbury for a while and always enjoyed the atmosphere, but I really have to say—getting rid of karaoke on Monday nights was a big miss. It was one of the few things that consistently brought in a great crowd and gave regulars something fun to look forward to at the start of the week.

You could tell it was doing well, and a lot of us who came regularly have been pretty disappointed since it was taken away. It added energy to the place and made Mondays feel alive instead of slow.

It would be really nice to see karaoke brought back. I think it would mean a lot to the regulars and help bring that same vibe back again.“

“Great atmosphere, food, and service.“

“McSwiggan’s accepts those of us with Scottish heritage as well, making us feel right at home.“

“You need to open a location in Denver. I came to Plano for business back in February and found this spot. Loved it and will be coming back down in October just for your butter chicken wings and fries.“

“Enjoyed a nice dinner with the family, tried the MVP and added crawfish and chose the Cajun seasoning. It was outstanding!

If you haven't been you should try them out. They have a variety of menu choice and sure you can find something you would like.

Nay was our server and was great...“

“It fun place to go with friends“

“Love the bands. Great atmosphere. However highly disappointed that why we pay for premium tables if 4 many tables had 6 at theirs or more which meant someone got away with not paying ticket prices.“

“So happy that Liv and Ashlee are working together today! They are the best team! Always happy and great service! I hate that there schedules got changed though. Great job ladies!“

“One of the very few places where you can find high-quality Margarita. Here it is called Lizzarita.

The food is delicious and inexpensive! The service is good! Open until 2am!

Perfect place for lunch, dinner, or “drinks and snacks” at any time.“

“Ask for Zoey & Brit! Had an awesome time here! The vibe is energetic but still laid-back enough to actually enjoy conversations. The music was on point all night, and the DJ kept the crowd going. Drinks were strong and reasonably priced. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Frisco for a fun night out. Also Kurt the manager made sure everything went smooth.“

“My daughter and her friends go to Topgolf The Colony all the time and just had an amazing experience with a gender reveal party. They said the managers and staff were so sweet and the service was amazing.“

“My husband and I haven’t been to this location in quite some time. We’ve been being good. Today was the hubby‘s birthday, and this is actually our home Pluckers from when we first started to come more often. My husband and I were blown away by our customer service experience from our amazing server, KK, and then not even a few moments after being seated and greeted. The manager came over and immediately checked on us and said hello as well! Talk about customer service. Fresh food. We will come back on our next cheat cheat night.“

“Great dive bar. You can smoke inside“

“I absolutely love going on Fridays when Lydia is working, she knows her beers, is super bubbly and personable. You will typically find a large group of us there hanging out and enjoying good beer, Don’t forget to order wings from Michelle in the food truck outside, recommend lemon pepper. They have also started doing karaoke which adds for good entertainment - make sure to go on Fridays and hang out with Lydia and us regulars.“

“Amazing staff and management! Will definitely return!“

“Nancy. Noah . Ryan and Carmen are friggin awesome !!!!!!!“

“First time customer here, my buddy said he knew a better place than Twin Peaks (and love Twin Peaks) and all I could tell him when we arrived, when we were there, and during the ride home, was Thank You!!! Madison was awesome and just as sweet and social as you'd want one of your employees!
As far as the food went...it was wonderful! Fajitas were prepared perfect, and quality was top notch. I will refer others, and will definitely be back! And who ever came up with the restaurants concept.... you're my Hero!!!
Stay Blessed, Brent....“

“Tailgaters has great drink specials daily and the bartenders are fast and friendly. The food has been good as well. The wings and buffalo chicken pizza are my favorites so far. This will make my new rotation of sports bar venues.“

“Came here after my workout with a few guys from our group and everyone super friendly, food was great“

“The best burgers in town, hands down! 🍔🔥 The flavors are incredible, the ingredients are always fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The service is just as amazing—friendly, fast, and they make you feel right at home. Whether you’re craving a classic burger or something unique, this place never disappoints. Definitely a must-try!“

“Been searching for the perfect chill spot with good food, games, and a great atmosphere — and I finally found it. Everything was on point, but what really made the experience stand out was the service. Khylee was amazing from start to finish: super friendly, attentive, and gave the best recommendations. She made us feel welcomed and made the whole night even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.“

“I stopped by Tailgaters with some friends on a Friday night to shoot pool, enjoy a few beers, and do what friends do best—talk smack while pretending we're better at pool than we actually are.

This location used to be the old dine-in Pizza Hut on the Tollway in Frisco, and wow, what a transformation. The renovation is fantastic. The place looks great, has a fun atmosphere, and plenty of room to hang out.

We played on the tournament tables, which cost a little more, but they're absolutely worth it if you're serious about your pool game (or at least serious about talking about your pool game).

The real stars of the night, though, were the bartenders Bailey and JJ. They were top-shelf—pun intended. Even with the place packed, they remembered our names, knew our drink preferences, and made everyone feel like regulars. Great service can make or break a night out, and these two absolutely made it.

If you're looking for a place to shoot pool, play darts, grab a drink, and laugh with friends while getting beat on the pool table, Tailgaters is the spot.

Bonus tip: Try to go when Bailey and JJ are behind the bar. You'll thank me later.“

“The staff were all friendly, helpful and genuine. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, BAD selection. I'd rate it a 1 star, especially since it was very $$$$$. I should have ordered something CAJUN, which is their specialty. Oh well,next time I guess. The band was great.“
