9 Best Gastropubs near The Colony

“We loved our first experience with Thirsty Lion! Food was great and service was even better. Our waitress was Aslyn and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed!“

“The bartender/ waitress running the show is off the hook. Very on the spot the food is insane. The club sandwich was off the hook. I roll to NYC/LA and live in Plano and if you have not been here its a must stop in and have lunch and see the place. Great vibe even at lunchtime.“

“First, despite being a long term user of OpenTable I can not make a reservation. I successfully reserved a table for 2, but not the 5 I needed for my daughter's 16th birthday. Woops. However, the hosting team quickly was still able to seat us moments later at our appointed time despite my error. First, bravo. Second, goes to Ben who was authentically interested in service without being pushy. My family never worried about drink glasses being empty and food was brought so timely it could have been a symphony the way it was conducted. Third, bravo goes to the kitchen who executed consistently well throughout the night and delivered with Ben's help a birthday surprise for my girl's Sweet Sixteen. The management at Bulla deserves a lot of credit for the excellence the team performs and I love it every time I go for a meal.“

“My adult daughter and I stopped at the Boardwalk for a late lunch and were checking out the menus at the different restaurants. While checking Fork and Fire's menu, one of the employees, Jeff, came out to let us know about some of the food that he recommended as well as the happy hour specials that were running. He encouraged us to check out the other restaurants but return if we wanted to as he left to go back inside. My daughter and I briefly discussed our options and decided to go in to Fork & Fire.That was the best decision. My daughter had the Poke Bowl and really enjoyed it. I had the Chef Burger and it was the best burger I've ever had. Seriously. The flavor was excellent. The texture of the meat was perfect as was the bun. I had the truffle fries which were also great. Jeff ended up being our waiter and we really enjoyed talking to him. It was a great experience and we would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for the excellent dining experience.“
