Live music rollin' on the back covered patio, cool breeze blowin', and folks kickin' back enjoyin' the night--just about as perfect as it gets That tap selection? Whew... they got more choices than a cowboy's got excuses. Something for everybody, and it was flowin' smooth all night Now let's talk food... we grabbed some chicken wings and I'll tell ya straight--those things were spot on. Cooked just right, full of flavor, and didn't last long on the table And if you're feelin' a little competitive, they've even got corn hole set up so you can toss a few bags while enjoyin' the tunes and the crowd All in all, this place has got that perfect mix of good music, great food, and a laid-back vibe that makes ya wanna stay a while. Cowboy verdict: We'll definitely be ridin' back for another Friday night under them patio lights

I like this place but you never know what you're going to get…read more I've had great experiences with the service and food but can also get pissed off and get up and walk out after I've ordered an ice water. The turn over seems high since every time I'm there the employees are different.. Today I sat at the bar. Ordered a water and menu. Then she walked away. I just wanted to place my order but after waiving her down twice and she didn't return I walked out. Once you order this place takes awhile at times. Hope this doesn't continue. Not sure when I'll return

The karaoke guy is also a very nice gentleman. The stars go down because the karaoke guy will move you down on the list and let other people get pushed in front. I get wanting variety, but some people can't stay. I don't sing! Ha! But my crew does. We get there early, they stick their songs in knowing we are leaving in a couple of hours. We stayed late because my friends came out of town to see me. They kept putting more and more people in front of my friends, we left at midnight with oily one of my friends singing one song. She put in 3 songs.. Anyway, it's a bad practice, you never know where people are at and what's going on, so to skip them is pretty disrespectful. Also they never start the karaoke at 8 as advertised. It's whenever the guy wants to start it.

The bar is super cozy at night, and the holiday lights really add to the overall ambiance, cool vibes all around. I didn't stay to dine-in and ordered out instead, but I could easily see myself sitting here playing cards with friends. The pizza was VERY good, and the summertime berry salad was even better (now goes by Strawberry Pecan Salad). Two days later, my friends and I were hungry and couldn't stop thinking about this pizza and salad. So we ordered out again mid day. This time we got a full salad, added chicken, and asked for extra toppings and dressing. Definitely ask for extra, especially if you're sharing, because the normal amount isn't quite enough. I'm a culinary dietitian and meant to ask for their ranch recipe, but totally forgot. Ughhh!! So delicious though! There was a small mix-up with the second order and we had to drive back, but the customer service was great and it was no issue at all to fix. Highly recommend!!!

I visited on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with my parents and sister. (Side note for Dallas residents: If you're familiar with the Katy Trail, it's worth the drive to see where it all began. When the Katy railroad tracks were removed in Dallas, the trail was born. While Denison doesn't have a trail today, the original depot remains, and it's a lovely place to explore.) The atmosphere at Stafford House is calm and refined, with deep burgundy tones, and brown leather accents lending it a warm, intimate feel. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. We started with the steak carpaccio appetizer, which was savory and full of flavor. For dinner, the ladies each had the Airline chicken with mushroom risotto, while my father and I ordered the lamb T-bones. I swapped the vegetable medley for sweet potato grits, which were decent but lacked any noticeable sweet potato flavor. Definitely put Stafford House on your must-visit list. It's a beautiful little spot for a quiet, intimate dinner. And don't miss their adjacent bar--it's equally charming and perfect for a pre- or post-dinner cocktai

The table in the side room already had food and every table that came in after us had already gotten their food. Poor management, poor service and lack of attention. Also, I noticed the person plating food in the back had no hair covering, no gloves, and kept touching her face while handling everyone's food. Sunday is a busy day, lots of groups some are large. The place should be staffed properly for the business and management should be walking the dining room making sure everything is moving along smoothly. 1 star is all you get, should be negative 5.
