“We ordered the avocado toast, Ocean Benedict, and cream and Berries Crepes and everything was excellent!!! The Service was outstanding as well! 5 stars!!“

“Nichol is the best waitress here. She brings us the coldest beer and the hottest food. 🎄 Thanks to nichol we will never stop coming here.“

“The food was good. The shining star was Mariah S. The woman is hands down the most fantastic bartender I have ever seen, known or heard of. It was like watching a dancer. Every move she made behind the bar had a purpose. She was welcoming and genuinely friendly, not just the shlock that bartenders are prone to put on while they're fishing for tips. Even if the food had been total crap, which it wasn't, the evening would have been 5 star, just to see someone who is incredible at her job, work.“

“Seriously, how can you go wrong coming here?
Rattlesnake bites are the best appetizer, the chili is amazing (don't miss it!) The ribs are the entrée I **always** get, perhaps in a combo with something else. Free peanuts (yum), and of course, the best thing in the whole place is the rolls with the whipped honey butter when you dit down.
Seriously, how can you go wrong coming here?“

“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.“

“Food was great me and my son really enjoy or time there had the chicken & waffle and the patty melt 🔥🔥🔥. Son had the chicken tenders 🔥🔥🔥 Love it great place be back son“

“visited The Greenhouse in Denton, Texas, on Friday, July 25th, and really enjoyed the experience. The interior has a great casual dining vibe that’s perfect for conversation — relaxed but refined enough to feel like a treat.

Our waitress struck the perfect balance of attentiveness: available when needed but never intrusive. She gave us excellent recommendations when we were torn on what to order.

Pictured are two of our entrées:

Honey Chipotle Salmon – This was the table favorite. The salmon was glazed with a rich honey chipotle sauce and served alongside jack cheese mashed potatoes and broccolini. The dish was clean, flavorful, and well balanced — the richness of the potatoes was offset beautifully by the glaze. I could honestly put that glaze on anything. 😂

Stuffed Chicken – Filled with poblano pesto and jack cheese, this chicken dish was topped with a creamy poblano pesto sauce and served over the same jack cheese mashed potatoes. While tasty, it felt like it was missing something — maybe a pop of acidity or a marinade to liven up the chicken. Still enjoyable, just not quite as memorable as the salmon.

Overall, we had a fantastic dinner. The wine was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for a quiet Friday night out. I’m sure we’ll be back sooner rather than later.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give 10 stars, I would because Bryson earned every one of them! Since COVID, restaurant service has really gone downhill in so many places, but Bryson at the Cracker Barrel in Denton completely changed my outlook. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely fun to talk to. His energy made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. The food came out fast, hot, and absolutely delicious. It was exactly how you hope comfort food will be. But Bryson was the real star of the show. He did not just serve us; he made us feel like old friends sharing a meal together. That kind of attention and care is rare these days and it deserves recognition. If you ever find yourself at the Cracker Barrel in Denton, Texas, do yourself a favor and ask to sit in Bryson’s section. You will leave smiling, satisfied, and genuinely impressed. And when you do, make sure to leave him the biggest tip you can because the experience he gives is absolutely worth it. Bryson, you are the definition of great hospitality. Cracker Barrel is lucky to have you!“

“Great country place to eat. Good food great staff. We always go to our favorite waitress Tina. Gotta love her. She gives the best service. She goes above and beyond and always with a smile. We took some friends there today and now they’re hooked. Go in and give it a try for yourself. You won’t be disappointed…“

“We have four adults and three kids for dinner. The food was delicious, from the artichoke dip and pan seared pork dumplings to the pasta, steak, and salads. The server was very attentive to our needs and ensured our drinks were kept filled and the food came quickly. I travel weekly and in 26 years have never eaten at a hotel restaurant without staying at the hotel, this was my first time and I highly recommend this place.“

“I absolutely love coming to egg house. Food is always fresh and DELICIOUS. Service is incredible. it’s always consistent too!!!! I’ve never had an “off” visit here or menu items that aren’t good. Everything hits, every single time. Crepes, waffles, pancakes, skillets, eggs Benedict’s. All FIRE.“

“We tried Dove Creek Cafe a few weeks ago, and it is home cooking. They have a scheduled special for each day of the week posted. I could eat there every day. We've been back twice in the past two weeks. The chicken salad is so fresh, and the fish is excellent. Construction kept us away for a while, but I'm happy I found this wonderful place.“

“Food and service are both very good. You won't be disappointed.👍“

“My mother & I had a delicious breakfast, her treat. I had scrambled eggs, bacon and LARGE pancakes! Mom had a breakfast burrito and ate every last bit! haha. we also had coffee, a cappuccino and a mocha, delicious. service was good, restaurant was clean. I liked the spoon wall, #spooniewarrior. Next time I'll treat my mom to another meal here!“

“I was pleased with service and food. Will plan to eat there again“

“The food was pretty good and so was the service. The only bummer is they “lost” my husband’s order and so he had to sit there and wait for them to make his order again while we all got our food. Hot and at the same time. 👎🏻“

“We were visiting from out of town and a local friend recommended this restaurant. My tween daughter and I had dinner here, and it was phenomenal! The food was so good, I went back and got takeout too. Can’t say enough about the delicious, clean food! We had fish tacos, smoked chicken salad and a small Brussels sprouts salad. Picky eater daughter had the kids chicken tacos and raved! Yum!“

“Yesterday I had a work brunch for a group of twelve in their back dining room. The food and service were fantastic! Heidi is an excellent server! Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a casual dining meeting place.“

“Best place for breakfast! Been going to this place for 18 years and it never disappoints! Great food, amazing staff and they go above and beyond for the community!“

“Excellent service from Don Juan, Juanita and the rest of the team. They go above and beyond to make sure everything is okay. Their customer service rocks and their food is amazing. My daughter is a big fan of their Very Berry French Toast. We always end up with a smile in our face and obviously would recommend this place to anyone in the area that hasn’t had a chance to try it. Excelente servicio de Don Juan, Juanita y el resto del equipo. Van más allá para asegurarse de que todo esté bien. Su servicio al cliente es genial y su comida es increíble. Mi hija es una gran fan de sus tostadas francesas Very Berry. Siempre terminamos con una sonrisa en la cara y, obviamente, recomendaríamos este lugar a cualquier persona de la zona que no haya tenido la oportunidad de probarlo.“

“Cracker Barrel is one of the most constant restaurant experiences around. ‘Thanks’ to all the great people there who make it happen everyday.“

“If you haven’t been, please go. Beautiful setup, easy and fun ambiance. Love it being so close!“

“While staying at the Marriott at 3300 Championship Pkwy, Fort Worth, Texas, October 31- November 1 2024 went had dinner at Jackdaw Restaurant. It was an absolutely great experience and the staff was wonderful. Toni took care of us and did a marvelous job, Toni is the very the best ever! What a wonderful person. Therefore, as we stayed two extra nights and went back to the Jackdaw Restaurant, we knew Toni would be there. She is truly the best! -Martha and Jim Wilton“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve been longtime fans of 940’s—back when the hummus and veggie plate had us in a full-on emotional relationship. 💁‍♀️ Yes, we were a little heartbroken when the menu changed, but we never fault a place for growing and evolving. That said, we had stopped coming for a bit because, honestly… the service just hadn’t been it. The food was always great, but the vibe wasn’t. We took a break. We missed it. And yesturday—we came back. And THANK GOODNESS WE DID. The food was absolutely phenomenal (more on that below), but what truly brought us back into the 940’s fan club was Diana. Our waitress. Our queen. Our Lunch MVP. She was kind, attentive, hilarious, and genuinely made us feel like we were the highlight of her day. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked, gave us fantastic recommendations, and treated us like old friends. She wasn’t just doing her job—she was the energy. She took a great meal and made it a memorable experience. Diana, if you see this: You’re the reason we’ll be back again and again. Give this woman a raise, a crown, and whatever shift she wants. Now, the food: • The pulled pork poppers? 10/10. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and smoky inside, with two sauces that made it impossible to pick a favorite. A flavor-packed appetizer we wouldn’t change a single thing about. • The fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese? Elite. Thick, crunchy, juicy chicken with all the right toppings and that creamy, dreamy pimento that took it into comfort food heaven. • We also tried the Lemon Pom Pom and a Strawberry mocktails—both light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced to pair with the richness of the meal. (We love a good mocktail moment.) Bottom line: Diana + that kitchen crew? Match made in food heaven. 940’s is officially BACK in our regular rotation. 🖤 #DentonEats #940sKitchen“

“In town for the weekend from Louisiana and looking for a quiet spot to have a few drinks. Kat was the best and made the night fun! Great service, great drinks. We had the boom boom shrimp and that was great as well. Will return if we come in this area again!“

“Took our kids for dinner and some arcade time. First, the not so good things: A couple booths to eat at and you had to order food with the bartender (I give him grace since he was the only one working besides the cook). Cleanliness wasn't the best. There was dirty tables and spills on the floor. Definitely more of a bar scene than a game/arcade atmosphere. Good things: Kids still had fun playing the games. The food was SOOO good!! We all got burgers and they were so good and juicy. The toppings were fresh. My oldest son loved the chips and salsa. My husband and I got the fried mushrooms as well. May not take the kids back there, but it will definitely be a good date night!“

“Took my dad there for his first visit. Food was good and tasty however, his salmon was a bit overcooked and a lil dry bit he liked it nonetheless. Service was good and it was sweet to take a couple complimentary croissants home. They make for a sweetl delicious treat. Don't forget to tip your servers. Now, go get your grub on.“

“Great Delicious Food that changes, as well as, the very Talented artists & bands, Great LIVE music!! we keep coming back for more!!!“

“Fun night and great food! Love the fajitas and the bottomless chips and salsa!“

“Wow! What a pleasant surprise. The delicious hot food, the colorful ambiance, the friendly crew, and the location is great. They even offer lettuce wrap on their food to help cut carbs! This place is a winner with great tasting burgers and a crew that is happy to greet you! Winner! Winner!“

“Like I said on previous posts For bars on Fry Street if you do not do the Fry Street bar crawl On your birthday, you are not living. Mine ended with me in the ER with seven staples In my head A concussion and four days in the ICU and it was worth every minute of it. I had the best time of my life. Unfortunately, I chose to go to aces Not on fry street After afterwards And that’s what sent me over the top But all the games I played doing the crawl All the people I met in every bar And the experience I had on my second day being in Texas It was the best time of my life And every single bar on Fry Street was such a good time All the workers were amazing Tip your bartenders and servers always people I just had the best time Piece of advice, always in the bar crawl after you finish Do not go to another bar That is not on Fry Street if you complete the crawl This is a bad idea Go home Lol But do the crawl Live life and have a blast You will never regret it Even staples layer 🤣🤣🤣😭“

“My rating is 5 stars bc I love coming here but if I had to rate the bartender, Hayden, I would give him negative 7348548738 stars. He is the worst, extremely rude, and I'd rather die of thirst than order a drink from him. All of the other bartenders are so nice and friendly.“

“I never leave reviews but WOW. We ordered the appetizer sampler platter which came with pretzels, Gouda queso, cheese sticks, fried pickle spears and homemade chips. WOW. When I say it was all delicious and super filling!“

“Very comfortable location. The service was excellent and the food was wonderful! I enjoyed the meal.“
