“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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…“

“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.“

“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. 👎🏻“

“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!“

“We recently visited Quandary Kitchen & Market, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. The menu offers a wide selection that truly caters to many palates. On this visit, we enjoyed the Black Diamond Blackened Chicken. The mix of flavors was incredible. We also had the fries, and they were outstanding. They reminded me of the fries I grew up on, the kind you could happily eat all day. The Margherita pizza featured a perfectly zesty sauce. To round it off, we tried the cheese tortellini with chicken. Let me just say, this dish is a can’t miss. The decor has such a fun ski lodge vibe. It is clear they put thoughtful effort into creating an atmosphere that stands out from so many other ordinary DFW restaurants. It feels warm, inviting, and unique. Lastly, the staff truly sets this place apart. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Eric was especially sweet. He made sure our to go items were packed with care, wished us well for the rest of our evening, and warmly invited us back. We drove from Frisco to try this spot, and it was absolutely worth the trip. Make the drive to Argyle for this standout restaurant. You will definitely want to keep coming back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

It was phenomenal. Our wait staff was kind, funny, and amicable and listened as I explained this diabetes-inducing concoction. It was amazing.“

“Bro the food was so bomb idk if it’s cause it was late at night and not much people are there, but the food and customer service was so chill.
