On Monday, 5/23 I went in for lunch with some friends. City Limits was very busy with a large group, but we were patient and placed our order. After an hour had passed with no food and needing to get back to work, we told our waitress. We need our food to go. We then noticed people who came in after us were actually finishing their meals, now an hour and a 1/2 later we gathered our belongings to leave with, still no food. While walking out, our food was bagged and brought to us, by the owner. We tried to tell him what happened and he was rude and told us he didn't have time to talk to us. We then had to pay our bill and leave. Never again! read more

Walked out after waiting a ridiculous amount of time to be greeted and asked for a drink order. Too bad we weren't one of their regulars, maybe we would have felt welcomed and stayed for our drinks to arrive. read more

Was there a couple days ago. The oil the fries were made in must be filthy because the fries came out dark brown and soggy.

If you're looking for a fancy steak and uniformed servers, this is not the place. While it's a dive restaurant and bar, it's the best restaurant in Sherman. I love everything about City Limits: the staff, the food, the beer, the ambiance! They have pretty cheap prices, too. I've been coming since 2005 because I worked there for 2.5 years. :) I try and go back every chance I can. Also, BEST FRIES EVER!! read more

Amazing food and portion size is HUGE! Best chicken fried steak that I've had the opportunity to experience in town.

Is it a drive-in....NO Is it a diner....NO Is it a dive....Kinda Is it a sports bar....Yeah Does it have fantastic food, friendly wait staff and a great atmosphere....DEFINITELY !! I was first introduced to City Limits shortly after we moved to Texas almost 20 years ago. I was immediately impressed with the place and have been eating there ever since. I highly recommend trying them and I truly feel you will have the same opinion that I do....A GREAT PLACE TO TO EAT Added 12/07/10: Try the Hamburger enchiladas. Not on menu so ask for them. read more

20 years have passed since I last stepped foot in the Limits, and nothing has changed. I wonder what they put in the water in Pottsboro, because the local girls are still very attractive and they all grow up to be waitresses at City Limits. Should there ever be a White Plague released, I vote they quarantine the girls from Pottsboro, first. Chips and Queso are good, but never enough. The chips are served hot, and the salsa is adequate. Our table had two different cheese burgers, a basket of home cut fries, two chicken fried steaks and the famous turkey tacos. Nothing was left...the salad was a little disappointing as the lettuce had begun to brown. The turkey tacos were a little dry, but once doused under the salsa, was more than edible. Burgers and chicken fried steak exceeded expectations. Besides Lake Texhoma, there isn't much of a reason to be in the Sherman/Denison area...but if trapped, at least the Limits will feed you well. read more

Came to this place for lunch one day and ordered the avocado burger. After having fried mushrooms and chips and queso as an appetizer, I found it very difficult to finish the burger! It was a little soggy from all the butter that was slathered on the bun before it was put on the grill and it was also hard to bite into because the avocado made the patty very slippery against the bun. Since I am not a graceful eater to begin with, I made a huge mess and eventually gave up eating my burger because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of my colleagues. The burger itself was good, it was just hard to eat. I REALLY liked their fries, though. I managed to save some for later, but it was hard to pull back. I'd come back here and try something else on the menu since they have a decent variety of lunch items, but I would be prepared for another messy burger! read more

This is a gem on the north side of 82. I had the chicken tacos dipped in wing sauce (cara the waitress recommended this) and they were excellent! My wife had the chili tacos which were also very good and filling. The nachos were great and the atmosphere was mellow and warming. The bar area seemed exciting however we were seated further away (probably because our kids were with us). Great service and great food, highly recommended to anyone! read more

My sister took me here one night after we failed at spying on someone- another story. Happily thanks to this place the night was not a complete bust. The margaritas are quite delicious and the turkey sandwich with fries is really good. The service was nice and pretty sweet. It's very laid-back and a nice place to just catch a drink and a meal after work. read more

loveeee fast service, great workers so nice, food is delicious, you can watch the game, very homey feeling to it its amazing

This is a nice place to stop for some good food and good atmosphere. The Bacon Cheese burger was very good and I would highly recommend it. The basket of fries were good but I've definitely had better. It is seat yourself and I recommend finding a spot in the back room because he lighting is better and they have TV playing sports. BIG church crowd so beware going around noon on Sunday read more

Not many reviews for City Limits! Many displaced Shermanites have to spend at least one night of their time back at home drinking margs and eating chips and queso while saying hi to all the people you ever and never wanted to see. Get your margarita on the rocks, and if you're watching your figure, go for 2 turkey tacos--the best! read more

The food was bland. They need to hire some cooks who can season. I wouldn't recommend.

The best local place to eat. Thankful for the amazing new vegan option! The beyond burger is delicious!!

This restaurant has absolutely too much hype from the locals. I've had the privilege to live in multiple cities through out my entire life thus getting to eat so much amazing food. This place is your average local restaurant that only locals think is good because they haven't tried any REAL restaurants. 1/10 I do not recommend to anyone who has a sophisticated palette because you will leave disappointed. On top of the food being next to dirt, the people who eat here are your average small town and small minded people. AKA racists. Save your time and go further south to where the real food establishments are. read more

Best chips and salsa I've ever had. Chips are fried fresh to order. Food is always consistently yummy. If you're from out of town you must try The Dennyrita. Also, ask your waiter about some additional dishes that aren't on the menu. read more

Long time fan of City Limits. I attended the local college for four years and their food has always been good during that time. The waitresses are always very friendly and stellar at their job! I am a fan of their hickory burger (even thought it's a mess to eat, it's delicious) while my godparents love the fish tacos and salads. The Denny-ritas are delicious as well. They do have TVs so you can watch whatever game is on that day. Also, they tend to turn up the air conditioning (awesome during the summer) so if you get cold easily you might want to bring a jacket. City Limits is your typical hometown restaurant where you have a relaxed atmosphere and good food! read more

Great place and is a Sherman OLD TIME classic! Food and atmosphere is unique if your there on a good day! Don't go during peak times or you won't even be able to hear the people at your table it gets SO LOUD, service is not at it's best and why do the worst of the worst people seem come in to eat during that time is beyond belief. The main complaint is inconstancy. One time the food is fantastic and the next the chef's are mentally out of their minds and it's show in platting, quality and taste! Oh and don't send it back, you will be sorry! Will go back but not during peak lunch or dinner! read more

My BFF and I came here for lunch yesterday for the first time. Our food was really good. Must be a popular spot because they were busy. Our server lost track that we were sitting outside and I had to go inside to locate her. She came out to our table to apologize.... a sincere apology! Once we got our food she was very tentative to our table and wanted us to know she was very sorry for forgetting us so much so that when we were ready to leave she said lunch was on her. Not happening!!! Just for the fact that she acknowledged she was busy inside was something I admired. Never in my life have I had a sever acknowledge they forgot about me. We are looking forward to coming back with our husbands. read more

Amazing service throughout, and an enjoyable experience. It has been too long since I've been here. I came here for lunch with a big group and she did a great job. I got the BLT with mayo which is unbelievably good. I'm already craving it again! read more

Good food! Had to find somewhere to eat while passing through Sherman area that was still open after 9pm. Always can count on my trusty "Yelp" app for good recommendations! My husband had the chicken tacos and I had the spicy chicken wraps. Both were good. read more

20 years ago this was the place to go, the line on saturday night went all the way into the parking lot to get in. But....The last time I ate there (about 3 years ago) I ordered the BLT, the sandwich was very small, it was like they used 1 piece of bacon cut into 3 small pieces on it, a tiny piece of lettuce, and I mean tiny piece of lettuce and a sliver of tomato, the BLT sandwich wasn't even enough to feed a child. The fries that came with it were way overcooked and soggy, I pointed this out to the waitress and she advised me to just eat the middle out of the fries. I didn't even eat the fries. I was very dissapionted and haven't been back since. This meal cost 7.50 plus tip, 20 years ago I would have given 5 stars, but the quality of food now and the waitresses lack of intrest in my complaints leaves me with giving just 2 stars. Worse thing about it is that I talked a friend into going there that night, it wasn't even crowded and we got what I described above. It was like they just gave up. read more

Best beer and burgers place around. Get there early cause the parking lot fills up... great food and service and lots of pretty young waitresses... read more

DennyRita!! you only need one! the food is great too, but this paticular drink is top notch!! read more

Chicken fried steak was great! Didn't much care for the fries, but steak was more than enough food. Great prices and great service! read more

Love having Sunday lunch here with the family after church. Turkey Tacos are my favorite!

No other place. Don't be afraid to try ANYTHING on the menu. This thing is making me write more words. WHY???? EVERYTHING IS GREAT....

We just ate here for the first time! Awesome burgers, like seriously good!! Love the fries, queso, chips, etc...all good!! Loved the Deni-ritas!!! Met the owner, and Zoey at bar gave us the best service!!! Really great place!!! read more

The food was awesome, well worth the money. It's definitely one of my favorite places to go back to eat again. It's a little grungy hole in the wall but in the best way. Super friendly staff. read more

I love eating at city limits, the food is inexpensive and it taste good. The only thing I wish they had was a dessert menu. I love the chips and queso, they also make a good strawberry daiquiri! read more

Try the chicken fried steak. Portions are large but not incredibly huge. Gravy and the steak are very good, I would say the breading is above average but could use some work on the seasoning. Beer is cold, only Miller and Shiner Bock on tap, around 10 other beers in the bottle. Prices are very good. If I have one piece of advise for the owners, expand the beer selection. Definitely the place to stop for a good sirloin or chicken fried steak in Sherman. read more

City limits is a great place for a quick lunch or dinner!! The food and atmosphere is great. You should check it out! read more

We both ordered the steak quesadilla. The steak was so chewy we had to spit it out. They were polite and took it off the bill. However, no one from management came over to speak to us at all. I will say this is the first bad experience I've had here and will go back, but this was a bad time. read more

If you want a great hamburger you've got to go to City Limits! And the fried jalapeño strips are so yummy! Good food, good drinks, good service. Seriously, you've got to check this place out. They have other food as well but I just can't ever seem to order anything except a burger read more

Great food and staff. The owners are awesome and the food is unbeatable. When I have friends come into town, I always take them to City Limits. read more

I've been a regular at City Limits for around 30 years. I remember it before the FIRST remodel in the 80's. Great food, great atmosphere, good margaritas, better food... If you smoke, sit in the front room. If not, sit in the back. Thanks Denny and Kip. read more

Seriously delicious comfort-pub-style food. It was our very first visit and the first thing you notice is that it is super loud inside on a Friday night. We were promptly seated by a fella with a big smile. Our waitress was equally smiling & diligent. Which amazed us because this place was PACKED!!! The menu did not do the food justice because it did not describe how yummy everything was! We will definitely be back & have found one of our new favorite places! read more

Their "Denny-Rita" is so good! Just one of these and I am good lol. Great place to meet friends for a quick bite and drinks. They serve your typical bar food and burgers. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of having lunch here today. Our server, (Carlee) was fantastic. Polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and she took the time to talk with us. The food was great and the service was excellent. We love eating at City Limits! Thank you Carlee for a great dining experience! read more
