Additionally, thank you for replacing the torn booth seats!“

“Love that Lantern St. Grill & Tap House is a great host for our Alabama watch parties! Despite the Tide in Texas group deciding they would no longer "host" parties, Alabama fans are still welcome to come! Several of us who are not in agreement with that decision will continue to support Lantern St. and finish the season out strong! Roll Tide!“

“Plano just got elevated to legendary status thanks to a night at Plano Sports Tavern. I went in expecting a decent sports bar and walked out convinced I had stumbled into the beating heart of the local music universe.
First, the food. This is not your average “bar food.” Everything coming out of the kitchen looked like it belonged in a highlight reel—hot, fresh, and dangerously addictive. The kind of food where you say you’ll just have a few bites and suddenly the plate is empty and you’re contemplating a second round.
Then there’s the atmosphere. The place has that perfect mix of laid-back neighborhood hangout and electric live-music energy. Friendly staff, great crowd, plenty of TVs if you’re there for the game, but the real magic happens when the stage lights come on.
And speaking of magic… seeing Vinyl Tone here was an absolute experience. They sounded incredible, the crowd was into it, and the whole place felt like one giant party where everyone was in on the same secret: this is where you come for a great night out.
Great food, great music, great vibe. Plano Sports Tavern absolutely delivers. If you haven’t been yet, fix that immediately.“

“Hamburgers are the best in town. The smell when you walk across the parking lot to go inside makes your mouth water 🤣😋!! I haven’t even mentioned the best mixed drinks and you’re amazing staff…. Got to try the cappuccino martinis..“

“Absolutely Amazing Food and Service. Ironic that Blaine and went to same school to play Baseball. He is a super cool Human. Blessed to have this experience !“

“Lot’s of brews and good times!“

“Tried this place for karaoke night. There was no pressure to participate, had the normal range of great to ok participants. Seemed pretty standard for a bar, appetizers were good, it was a shock that soft drinks didn't have free refills, the wait staff was friendly but largely hard to find. There were 5 people in our group and we stayed for about 5 hours.“

“First time checking out The Tipsy Chicken on a Thursday and had a great time. Sophie and Amber were fantastic behind the bar — friendly, quick, and easy to talk to. Ryan and John were great company too, fun to swap stories with and hear about the local scene. Shoutout to the KJ for starting my night off right — after my first song he sent me over for a free shot, which Amber poured up. Little touches like that really make a place memorable. As someone who’s been in the DJ/KJ world for years, I’ve seen slow nights turn into packed houses with just a few creative twists: • “First-time singer” spotlights to get shy guests up. • Small bar tab or drink ticket for the crowd favorite performance. • Short themed rounds (“90’s throwbacks,” “duet challenge”) to keep things fresh. The Tipsy Chicken has an awesome base of people and staff — it wouldn’t take much to make Thursdays one of the busiest nights in town. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks for the hospitality, Sophie and Amber!“

“Pure social is a place to go food is good atmospheres great DJ Phil jams his butt on Friday Love the place great atmosphere like I said check it out“

“Me & Wifey went for the 1st time bout a month ago. The original wings and the sweet potato fries are pretty good. The highlight for us tho are the drinks they are strong and good kool place to go if you wanna just chill and have a few drinks“

“Had a super great time!!! Jose and Fonzi were the BEST! Had never been there but will definitely go again!!!“

“Had a great experience with Prism! We ordered food for a teacher appreciation lunch, and everything was absolutely delicious. I really appreciated how easy it was to customize each dish to our preferences. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable—especially considering the quality of the food. What really stood out was the service—especially Sreekanth, Chef Kevin, and the amazing staff. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly without being overbearing. They’re also incredibly supportive of Frisco schools, which means a lot to our community. Definitely a place I’d come back to and happily recommend to others!“

“This is one of my go-to places in the area. The main reason I always return - ORLANDO. He is one of the OG staff that makes me want to go back. Not sure what you want to drink that night? Ask Orlando. Long day and need to smile? Ask Orlando. Starving and everything looks good? Ask Orlando. Yes, the food is good Yes, the drinks are good (my fave is the Purple Duck). But - secretly - why do my friends and I go? To hang with Orlando! 🥰“

“Having a fantastic time at karaoke. With top notch service from Liz, the DJ, and entire crew. Will return.“

“Foxiis is such a great spot! The service was awesome — everyone was super friendly and made me feel welcome from the start.

And the patty melt? Unreal. Perfectly cooked, cheesy, and full of flavor — easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere.

If you haven’t been to Foxiis yet, you’re missing out. Great food, chill vibe, and amazing people!“

“Gecko is like a second home! It’s so fun to be able to walk in and know so many people. The food is always a hit and delicious. The drinks are always perfect and the staff is as friendly as it gets. I definitely recommend the pizza, the Turkey melt and the brunch chimichanga. Out of this world!! If you are there for happy hour the pretzel bites with queso always hit the snack spot. Gecko is fantastic for sports watching too! Football, Olympics and especially soccer!! Go give them a try…you won’t be disappointed and I bet you make some new friends!!“

“Great music, nice atmosphere 👌“

“Cade is the main reason we go to Benders. But the entire staff is amazing. I highly recommend Benders if you like to have fun like great cocktails and good food. See ya there“

“Awesome place! Had a buddy that stayed a little longer than me. It got a little rocky and he woke up in a ditch two miles down the road and was missing his hat, shoes, glasses and tore up clothes. Oh, did I mention his phone was missing also. Had a great time. FYI, I'm banned usually once a month! Chicken fried chicken is great also.
Will be back next month! Ask for Caleb“

“★★★★★

Garland Grill is a hidden gem! The food is consistently awesome—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you’re hanging out with friends or just grabbing a bite. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and the free pool is a great bonus that makes it an easy spot to spend the evening.

A huge shoutout to Angie, who is an amazing bartender. She’s friendly, attentive, and clearly knows what she’s doing behind the bar. Drinks are always on point, and she makes everyone feel welcome the moment they walk in.

Great food, great drinks, great service, and a fun place to relax. Definitely recommend checking out Garland Grill if you’re in the area! 🎱🍔🍻“

“Love coming here for a quick bite. Beats having to spend half my lunch hour driving to and from places. The cafe manager is so sweet and makes sure everyone is taken care of. My faves are the chicken fried chicken, lasagna and catfish. When I'm in a healthy mood I hit the salad bar! They even have ice cream.“

“Awesome space, so many TVs with multiple games on. We went w 4 kids on a Sunday midday and lots of kids and families there. Staff were awesome, we spilled a drink into our food and they replaced both so quickly. Very family friendly. Get the sliders, chicken bites, and smash burger. Will def be back!“

“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.“

“When we went we were the only ones dining there so we didn't have to wait for a table. Our food server Rogelio was very professional and courteous. Food prices were very reasonable and they have a pretty good variety of items on their menu. I just had a basic hamburger and it was well prepared and very tasty. My dinner companion had the grilled salmon with steam vegetables and mashed potatoes, and she liked it as well. Overall it's a nice little restaurant in the lobby of the hotel.“

“The Ranch House was so much fun, big crowd, tons of fun music, and great people hang out there!“
