Well done steak in the Steak Huevos Rancheros
Caesar B.

My wife, daughter, & I were looking for a nice spot for lunch and stumbled upon this nice looking restaurant. The inside has some cool art and just overall a good vibe. My daughter ordered the kids grilled cheese (not listed on the menu), I ordered the Steak Huevos Rancheros (suggested as the waitresses favorite thing off the brunch menu), and my wife got the BLT. The kids grilled cheese ($6) is a great price, and comes with fries. We asked to switch the fries out for fruit but they ended up bringing both fries and fruit which was fine. My daughter enjoyed the fruit and grilled cheese. My Steak Huevos Rancheros ($12) was decent at best. The steak was not very good. It was a little tough, not much flavor, and cooked well (I wasn't asked how I would like it cooked). The salsa and sauce in the dish has a nice spiciness to it. Eggs and potatoes were ok. My wife enjoyed the BLT ($8 which is a great price as well!) but her fries were soggy and not hot which leads us to the service... Our waitress was nice, but she disappeared for long periods. My daughter ordered her grilled cheese and a water with a top. 5-10 mins later she comes back and says she's been looking for a top for the water and then wanted to confirm if my daughter wanted Grilled Cheese. I figured at that point the food was already ordered. I asked for hot sauce when ordering my dish, when the food was ran to the table there was no hot sauce. By the time the waitress came to our table to check how the food was or if we needed anything I was almost done with my plate. My wife was almost done with her BLT by the time she was able to reorder the fries to have them hot and crispy. They did remake her fries and they were good. As far as drinks I ordered the Old Fashioned, and my wife had a Smash Whiskey Sour. Both drinks were ok. Overall it's a nice looking place, good price points, slow service, ok food.

Mushroom ravioli with toast - yummy!

Food was delicious! Served exactly how we asked. Service was good for the short time we were there! However, take out took longer than they said but we just walked around the area while we waited. Not huge inside but they have booths, high tops, larger tables, smaller tables, bar seating and 1 table outside on the sidewalk/patio. The vibe was cool! Casual but also great for a date night!

Wanted to try this place and had an opportunity to do so recently. Menu looked interesting, vibes were inviting, and the highlight of our visit was the service. It raised the overall rating. We had a couple of dishes and while visually apealing, the both lacked any seasoning. Very flat on both accounts.

The "Old Old Fashioned"
Michael M.

Travel Eats: Denton. In town for a conference and my colleagues and I picked 940's Kitchen & Cocktails from the Yelp app for drinks and dinner after our presentation. The place had a very unassuming storefront that housed a bar a few stand alone tables and a wall of booths. We grabbed a booth and was approached with a fun looking cocktail menu and a separate happy hour eats menu. We ordered cocktails and a couple of appetizers. We ordered the Chips and Dips plate- which you got to pick your dips- we chose the Queso and the Elote. The queso was good (but nothing different)...the Elote was delicious and was a great bite. They gave us an order of the Bruschetta, not really sure why, but who's gonna knock a free app. The bruschetta was good and had avocado and red pepper which gave it an appealing green/red visage and it was served on a wooden platter that has a balsamic drizzle. It was a good bite as well- made even better as it was a comp. Finally, I ordered a Tenderloin Grilled Cheese (no picture, sorry...I blame the cocktails). The grilled cheese had slices of pork tenderloin and a nice cheese lend melted perfectly onto classic buttered bread, topped with grilled sweet onions and grilled. It also tasted pretty good, but probably could have had a bit more cheese as the tenderloin dominated the bite, where a nice cheese pull would have the perfect way to finish that bite. Enjoyed the ambiance, the food, and cocktails- nice evening out with close friends. If you happen to be in Denton, don't sleep on 940's.

We wanted to like this place more than we did. We were first introduced to 940 during a Discover Denton tour. We decided to come here before a show and made a reservation ahead of time. The food was tasty and the cocktails were tasty, but the service was not good at all. We were seated in a booth away from the bar and main seating area, so maybe that's why it seemed like we were forgotten more than once. Our appetizer came out in an acceptable amount of time, but we waited over 30 minutes for our entrees. And my husband had to flag our server down to ask for the check. Maybe he was having a bad day? The food was delicious and that saved the 70 minute dining experience, but if you go here...try to avoid being seated at the dark booths in the back. Also, if you are a beer drinker, you will spend $8 on a 12 ounce can!

Always so good! I will say service is a little slower than most places but just be patient. It's worth it. The servers are so nice, vibes are great and so are the drinks!

Great cocktails and the pot roast mac n cheese was absolutely delicious. We sat at the bar, but service was very slow and we weren't checked on much. Overall, good food and drinks.

Cocktails!

Love this place! Don't get to come to Denton often but always come to 940's for food and drink. Food fresh and delicious, with some tweaks to old standards that elevate it. Drinks are varied and classic with a twist. Never had a bad server and the ambiance is classic. Kudos!!

We came in on a Sunday night. A few other patrons were at the bar; we opted for a comfy booth. We were sat immediately with a smile. The decor is upscale industrial. It has a nice vibe. Not too loud but not too quiet either. Definitely a pleasant place to have a date night. I ordered a tap cocktail flight since the waitress indicated that tap cocktails are what they are known for at 940's. The flight did not disappoint. The worst part was having to choose between all the awesome options. Presentation was gorgeous. The lavender elixir is very smooth with a sublime finish; it does not have the overpowering nature that many gin and tonic based drinks have. The rest of the flight was also very tasty, though I found the Sun's smoky mescal taste to be a bit overpowering. We ordered eggplant fries and the poutine for starters, along with a cup of tomato basil soup. My husband loved the poutine. I'm not a huge poutine fan but can say that it was done well with fresh ingredients. The eggplant fries had a surprisingly smoky taste--maybe due to the chipotle honey sauce. There was an interesting melding of textures that kept me wanting more. The jalapeño mustard went very well with the eggplant fries. The soup was coarsely blended and really was just a pretty basic cup of tomato soup. I probably wouldn't order it again. My husband ordered the Denton fried chicken for dinner and I had the house salad with fried chicken. The chicken was well seasoned but the breading was a bit thicker and too well done for my taste. I stole a bite of my husband's mashed potatoes--those were fantastic. Overall, the cocktails are worth the trip. The foods not bad at all. They have a generous happy hour menu that starts in the afternoon and goes until close; so a nice safety net to try new things. The service was great. We will definitely be back.

Denton Fried Chicken
Michelle C.

I was recommended 940's Kitchen & Cocktails by some friends from UNT and how their Denton fried Chicken was great. So, I ordered the Denton fried chicken dish, and it exceeded my expectations. As someone who isn't a huge fan of American food, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this dish captured what great American cuisine should be. The fried chicken was perfectly crispy and flavorful, the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, and the green beans were a nice complement. Everything was cooked to perfection! The service was also top-notch--our server, Tito, was friendly and attentive, making sure our water was always refilled and providing decent insight into the menu. As for the ambiance, it really has that "Denton feel." The decor is charming, with lovely paintings and nice furniture that fit perfectly with Denton Square. The bar area is inviting, too! Overall, this place is fantastic and truly represents what Denton has to offer and I think the food quality meets the expectations as well.

Amazing service and great management! Will certainly return... enjoy the company and how kind they are with my service dog, brining water over.

Checked out 940 last night to celebrate a friend's wedding and had an amazing time. We were able to reserve a table and get sat once most of our party was there. Our server, Sydney, was so wonderful and welcoming! I checked out the drink and food menus and decided on the tenderloin grilled cheese, which came with a mix of American and Fontina cheese, sunny side egg, onion jam, and tenderloin. I asked Sydney about scrambling the egg instead of having it sunny side and she recommended that I get it cooked hard because it tastes great with the sandwich. She said she would check with the kitchen, and they were able to make the adjustment. For my drink, she recommended the berry basil mule. I was thinking it was going to be sweet, but combined with the basil, it had just a hint of sweetness that made it easy to sip and enjoy! Our food came out quickly, and we all ordered something different, so we got to try each other's entrees. My grilled cheese was not super heavy, and the combination of the American and Fontina cheeses was perfect. I love that I was able to swap out the fries for green beans. The green beans were amazing--garlic with a hint of sweetness. Everything was so good! The vibe was good as well. My friends and I were able to laugh and have a good time. The staff enjoyed our joy, and they made our experience delightful! I can't wait to come back and I would highly recommend coming here!

The overall vibe has changed, and not in a good way. There seems to be a clear tension in the space that makes it uncomfortable to be there as a customer. From what I've observed, the current manager creates a very unpleasant environment. She consistently appears angry, tense, and overly controlling, and it visibly affects the staff. The employees often look uncomfortable, uneasy, and as though they are being constantly micromanaged. It's hard not to notice, and it completely changes the energy of the place. As someone who has spent money here and genuinely liked coming in before, it's frustrating to see management have such a negative impact on what used to be a welcoming environment. A business like this depends heavily on atmosphere, and when management makes both employees and customers feel uncomfortable, it reflects directly on the entire experience. I'm honestly surprised this hasn't already driven more employees away, because it is definitely pushing customers away. I hope ownership seriously reevaluates the current management situation before it causes even more damage to the business.

Full disclosure: We are Mexican food snobs. Highly critical of everything from the chips and…read moresalsa to the tortillas and the red and green chiles used (if it's spelled with an "i" on the menu...chili...huge red flag!). First, the atmosphere is very inviting for both a gathering of friends, but also a family could have a great meal there without feeling like you have to yell or compete with a happy hour crowd. The decor is chic and the mural in the rear part of the restaurant is amazing. We generally do not get cocktails often, but with a 1/2 off happy hour, we tried two different ones and both were amazing. One had a chamoy straw and I wish I could tell you what they were called, but I can't remember - just go with what looks like the most complex flavors and you won't be disappointed. We had the empanadas as an appetizer...excellent flaky crust, great filling; the fajitas, another great pick; and the short rib enchiladas with a pipían sauce...think spicier mole and not as chocolate-ly. I used to have pipían as a kid and this is a pretty good representation. If you like spicy, ask for the spicier salsa which is still not killer spicy (I could have used more heat) but the morita chiles speaks to the kitchen's knowledge of Mexican chiles and how to use them. Well done.

The queso fundido was the best thing we got. But everything else was just "meh". Then we got the tres leches for dessert and it wasn't even wet which sealed the deal for me. It's acceptable, but you can go two blocks around the corner and get GOOD Mexican food.

I wasn't a fan of the sauce, the sweetness was a clash for me. The chips were also way too salty. The house salad $14 was an XL salad for sure! Everything was so good and fresh.
