    Best view in Denton--even in the Texas heat!…read more If you want the absolute perfect view of the amazing Denton Courthouse, you have to grab a spot up top at LSA. They definitely live up to that "Lone Star Attitude" name with the music, the energy, and the vibe. We sat on the rooftop, and even though it was a super hot Texas day, they had enough high-powered fans and shade set up to keep us completely comfortable. The menu here is awesome because it easily handles completely different cravings. Brian went for a burger with their spicy "snake venom" sauce and loved it--it has a serious, fantastic kick. I was looking for something lighter and went with the steamed veggie plate, which was fresh and perfectly prepared. Oh, and definitely grab a side of the parm fries--they are an absolute hit. The staff was great across the board--fast, friendly, and keeping the cold drinks coming. Between the killer food, the great service, and that iconic view of the square, LSA is always a win.

    A college burger joint for sure. Rooftop seating only. Pretty busy, but staff was friendly and very…read moreresponsive. Our server was phenomenal! I loved her service. This is why my rating is only based on the food quality. Brisket and Queso $10 Smoked brisket, Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce, cilantro. A little too high for an appetizer, but the queso and brisket were good. 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. They kindly brought me extra cheese and grilled jalapeños. The ranch was just right too! Downside: my patty was over-seasoned and overcooked. My partner purchased their most basic burger, the Waylon $12, the fries are sold separately. This burger was small, and once again, the patty itself was a disappointment. Texas sun cocktail was refreshing but just a simple pineapple and vodka mix.

    Had such a nice experience at Drakes to celebrate my birthday! Everyone we interacted with was so…read moredelightful and they helped make it super special with prosecco. We loved everything we got but the Vin Scully Fries and the lobster Mac and cheese were definite stand outs. They have matchbooks if you're a collector!

    We came to Drake's to celebrate a friend's birthday and left extremely disappointed…read more From the moment we were seated, our original server made us feel like he wanted us to order, eat, and leave as quickly as possible. We were told we had to place our entire order at once, and despite our reservation noting that we were celebrating a birthday, he never acknowledged it or even asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. When we mentioned it ourselves, he didn't respond at all. While returning from the restroom (which was also uncomfortably hot and stuffy), I spoke with the manager, Jason, about our experience and asked if we could switch servers. Thankfully, Vlad, who had been serving nearby tables, took over our table. He was a complete turnaround. Vlad was personable, energetic, attentive, and provided the level of hospitality we expected. He truly saved what he could of the experience. Our group spent over $750 on food and drinks. The appetizers and sides were excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the entrees didn't live up to the same standard. One steak was overcooked and had to be sent back. By the time the replacement arrived, everyone else had already finished eating. The Salmon Diane was also dry and overcooked. To end the night, while we were waiting for our checks to be processed, Jason came over and told us the next reservation had arrived and that we needed to leave. We explained that we were simply waiting to pay, yet no effort was made to speed up the process by collecting our payment or offering to run the checks. It felt rushed and incredibly inhospitable, especially after everything that had already gone wrong. The only reasons this review isn't one star are Vlad and the excellent appetizers and sides. We've dined at many high-end restaurants, and this was by far one of the most disappointing service experiences we've had, especially for a special celebration. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
