When I first moved to Sherman in 2000, I worked at the midway mall at VS for several years. The other ladies and I would stop in quite regularly after shifts. Since about 2015, I'd probably had only been here once or twice. Well, my little sister came in to visit from NYC, and I really wanted to get her out of the house and introduce her to a few of my Texas friends. First, of all it took me forever to think of a place to go where we could have some good drinks and decent food. The Sherman/Denison options are so slim! It's ridiculous. Any whooo- the four us get to city limits during the Texas VS Alabama football game. Due to the large crowd because of the game, we first decided to sit outside. We had a margarita and chips and queso, as the temperature rose we asked our friendly waitress if we could cash out and possibly get a table inside. Since the football game was nearing towards the 3rd quarter some people were clearing out and more inside tables were available. The time is now, approximately 3:00pm, Saturday. We are now settled in, placing our meal orders and other margaritas. The place is VERY lively. Mind you, the Texas game is in full swing. Our waitress brings us our meals, which everyone begins to enjoy. Soon after, the waitress comes back over to our table and informs us- that we are too loud, and everyone is complaining about us. I immediately survey my surroundings. It is at this point, I realize the only difference between my table and the other patrons was, the table were I sat, Sat the only 3 African American people in the restaurant, I'm being racially profiled!!!!!! I asked for a to go box, and my ticket and to speak to the manger, We wrapped our stuff up, and the manager comes over and gives some silly excuse, that the table who complained was gone.... So my thought was- if the table who complained is gone, why bother us with the complaint? The place was so loud, I couldn't even hear her excuses. Everyone is the place was loud! This was during a Texas football game, on a Saturday afternoon! In closing, city limits will never get a dime of my money. I will post this review and tell every person, I know to avoid this place. If I have to go to 54th street grill in McKinney every weekend, I will. I'm so happy Sherman is growing. I can't wait for more businesses to open in Sherman/Denison so this good ol boy sh*t hole can go outta business! read more

We stopped here for lunch about 11:30, good thing because by 12 the place was full! Husband ordered chicken fried steak and as he puts it "it's the real deal" no processed meat Patty! I got the club sandwich which was one of the best clubs I have eaten. No processed thin sliced meat here. The ham and Turkey were carved thick slices with Amazing flavor. Enjoyed the French fries which were well seasoned. Being so busy you would think service would be slower, but our server was on it we lacked for nothing and all the staff looked to be on warp speed! Great place with a hometown vibe and we will certainly eat here again when in Sherman! read more

Came back today for the first time in 28 years when I was a student at AC, and this time was even better. The food is still delicious, the staff and fellow diners are still as friendly as before, but this time I was actually able to enjoy some fantastic margaritas as well. This place has been a Sherman legend and will always be the place to go for a great time. And the grilled turkey tacos are still amazing. A special thanks to our server Chesney for taking such great care of us. read more

Excellent service, excellent variety and a very comfortable laid back and social environment. Good burgers, cold beer and a family atmosphere. Go give them your money, you won't be disappointed. read more

Love this place and they have mushrooms. Great burger and several beers. You can eat outside

So I came in here on a Friday evening in the middle of the dinner rush. I was surprised at how quickly a part of 4 was seated given how many cars were outside! So upon entry I realized this is exactly what I would expect from a small town watering/hole divey diner in north Texas. The inside was super cool and decked in out in retro sports gear and polaroid photos of patrons from what looked like the 70s and 80s. Super cool and super local! the service here was also pretty darn good. Everybody was super friendly and attentive. All get high marks from me there. On to why I can't rate this location above a 3 star. 1.) I'm in Texas. I should be able to get sweet tea. Fresh brewed tea was available but only in un-sweet. When in TX I want some sweet tea! 2.) I ordered a steak and baked potato which came with a salad. The salad was good enough. The baked potato left room to be desired and my steak thought it was cooked to order, had ZERO flavor. Like none. No salt, pepper, garlic, or even meat really. I was so sad! A huge steak came out and looked so good, just no flavors. I am one who doesn't use steak sauce, but I found myself reaching for A1 to have some spice in my life. The rest of the group all ordered chicken fried steak and fries and they raved about how good it was. So that's a plus. Overall a cool spot that I'd probably try again if in Sherman, TX, I just won't ever get a steak here again. As always, don't just take my word for it. Give it a shot and formulate your own opinions! Cheers and safe travels! read more

We always come here when visiting family. At least once every 2 months for the last 2 years and it NEVER disappoints. Food is delicious, and service is even better! read more

Best food around!! City Limits will always be my favorite spot for a bite! Fun atmosphere and service is great!

We were just passing through town on our way back to Houston, and since it was dinner time we yelped this place up and gave it a shot. Its an interesting place with a sports bar kind of interior and friendly staff. So not a bad start for the road trip weary. Then we get to the food. We started with Jalapeno strips, and I found them to be perfect! Nice and crispy and jalapenoy, if that's a word, with just a touch of spice. I had the cheddar burger with a half order of wings instead of fries. I have to say the wings here are much better than expected since it's not really a wing joint, but if said it was a burger joint I wouldn't argue because my burger was excellent! Not sure if we will be back this way, but if we do I'll be trying the chicken fired steak. read more

I've been eating here since I was born practically! Favorite local greasy spoon. Try the Dennyrita if you're into yummy adult drinks!

Service was great, quick, and efficient. Place looks like a friendly local place. BUT Chips were greasy, the salsa was bland and watery (Pace would have been better), and the queso was little league ballpark quality. The burger was bad, and the meat was ok, but the bread was grocery store quality (generic, not the name brand) and the cheese was the shredded kind that you get from a cheap fast food place for your salad.. The fries were so greasy that we had 1 each and left the rest. read more

This place feels like a time travel to the 1970s, complete with little woodgrain salad bowls and a basket of saltines abd club crackers to go with your salad. We had the steak and also shishkabobs-- each cooked perfectly to order. Baked potato was giagantic. Ice tea was so good, just like the old days-- haha. Place was hopping on a Sunday afternoon, including the busy bar area. Definitely worth a stop, even good destination for a little day trip from the Dallas area. read more

Great relaxed atmosphere, great service, great food. Always packed but the service never suffers due to the crowds. Great place...

The food was excellent and so was the service. Highly recommend City Limits. Will definitely be back!!

Certified Angus Beef! Sammiches, Burgers, Steaks, Kabobs, Tacos, Chicken, chili, fish n chips. Excellent for lunch, or a laid back dinner.

Delish. Fun spot. It doesn't have many vegetarian options but I got baked potato with cheese. My hubs got a burger. He enjoyed it.

This place is a great place for food and drinks! Best chicken fingers in town! The Denny-Rita's are fantastic! Service is great and super friendly! Great family atmosphere...it can get busy on the weekends but they do have a patio and a small bar so grab a drink and enjoy the weather!!! read more

We ate at City Limits weekly or more often until my husband , David's Hunt broke a bone in his neck a month ago. Hope to be back there when the horrific collar is removed soon. The food is delicious and service is spectacular. Thanks for being our friends. Donna Hunt read more

Great food, great service, great drinks. Indoor or Outdoor areas. Gets loud at times. Very popular hangout. Steak quesadillas are awesome, so is their chilli. read more

The fish and chips was very good. The atmosphere was a early lunch time. What really stood out for me today was my server Carlee, she greeted me when I walked in the door and let me know I could sit where I liked. Luckily I chose one of her tables. She had such a great attitude, very friendly she made me feel right at home, that was nice since I was by myself. Great service and she wore a smile the whole time. I will definitely be back and ask to sit with Miss Carlee ever time. read more

Third time here and have had the Hickory Burger twice. Flavor is good but the bun is so thin it falls apart and makes the burger hard to eat . In fact the first pick up of the burger out of the basket and half the bottom bun fell off. Buns are way too thin. Beer is good, service ok. BLT and tomato Gouda soup is great. Fries are not consistent as some in the basket are soggy and some burnt to a crisp. Hubby had Steak Tacos and said he would not order them again as there wasn't much to them read more

We come here every time we are in the area. We love the chicken fried steak and gravy. The fries are never good. Never look fresh or hot. Very limp and greasy. The place always looks full but we have never had to wait for a table and service is quick. I sure wish they would improve the fries or have mashed potatoes. We will definitely be back. read more

Great food, great service, great sports coverage on the wall! Almost weekly hang out!

Fried food Heaven! Cramped and loud but the parking lot is always full -- a great sign of a solid local hangout. Staff is nice and you get what you pay for. read more

Fun place with awesome food ! Staff is great very good service always . Good selection on menu , burgers are hot and juicy . Everything is just so good read more

I got here to meet some family for a birthday dinner, it was late and dark outside. Parking was scary, they need some lights since it seems like a frequented place and I parked near the very back of the gravel lot. It was packed for a week night. Stepped inside and it was freaking loud! Seating was quick though, that was awesome. Walking to our table I noticed a chalk board that said they have the Beyond Burger! Score! It's not on the menu though. Food is served in paper plates, waitresses are super cool, but they had no idea what the Beyond Burger was. Maybe need to let them in on it. :) It was tasty! Everyone loved their food. We were happy when a table of 12 tipsy patrons left so we could chat, but looked like they had a great time! I won't be back on any regular basis since I'm an hour away but if it's daylight or I'm traveling with a male (assistance walking through aforementioned parking lot), I may wander in for a burger and drink. read more

I've come here since I was young. Great place great food great service. They have a fun train that travels around the place that kids love

A It was good but I was not comfortable that they had signs supporting a judge who has a drinking problem. So that's why I took off the one star. read more

We stopped in here on the way back to Dallas from Memorial Day weekend on Lake Texoma. It is only about a 3 min detour off 75 and it is totally worth it. The chicken friend steak I ordered with the gravy on the side was awesome. They even made it extra crispy for me. I had an ice cold shiner and my babe got the Denny's margarita. I had to follow suit after tasting one sip of hers. I chugged my beer and ordered one. They are badass. We got the jalapeño strips which are the perfect amount of spice and the ranch is off the chain. My babe got the fish and chips and they were really amazing too. If you have some time to kill, love close by, or are passing through this area, this is the spot to try for sure! Tons of TV's and great prices. Would love to watch the NFL here on Sunday. read more

This is a place we eat at often, at least once a month. For years. Great food, great prices and up until recently l, fantastic service. Last month we were there, and waited over an hour for our food. The waitress apologized and explained they weee short staffed in the kitchen, and honestly I was fine with it. Stiff like that happens. No big deal. We paid out full bill with a generous tip and chalked it up to just a rough day at the restaurant. Today we went in for lunch (got there early to avoid the rush). Ordered our food and then proceeded to wait nearly an hour (53 min) before I finally had to ask for our food to be packed up to go. Several other tables had come, eaten and left after us. Not much of an apology other than "it's not my fault!! We had a big to go order!" We paid our check before the food came and then had to eat in the car on our way home. I'm taking a long break from this place. Love your food. Can't see paying $50 for a lunch that I have to wait an hour for and eat in the car. Sorry it is like this. Hopefully it's just a rough time and it will get better again. read more

What a wonderful place. Best ribeye I've had in years. Staff beyond friendly! Ashley was GREAT! I had I had left my wallet at the hotel and she trusted me to go back and get it-can't find that in the big city. Baked fully loaded potato was a meal in itself. I'll be back! read more

Dropped in for a quick lunch, was surprised to see the quaintness if the place after hearing so many people discuss how awesome a place it is. However, once we walked in the door it was great service and amazing food! The wait staff is young and fun making us laugh throughout our visit. The chips and salsa hit the spot! Despite being very busy at lunch hour it wasn't loud and the wait staff was quick and efficient but we didn't feel rushed, we will definitely be back and can't wait to take friends there as well! read more

Checked this place out on the way back home through the area. Prices were pretty reasonable and the staff was nice. Food was average bar type comfort food. We ordered chicken nachos but they didn't come with the chicken. Not the end of the world but kind of a let down. Server recognized it when she brought it out but we said it was ok. Worth checking out for the prices and if the food is what you're looking for. read more

If you like large portions, beer, and good home cooking, then you come to the right place...it's a laid back, friendly atmosphere !!!! Mom and I loved it !!! They don't have sweet tea, only unsweet. I gave a four star because mom likes sweet tea. read more

We were in Sherman for a doctors appointment and found City Limits A very unassuming place, not fancy but very unique and casual. Their food is unbelievable!! Their burgers and HOMEMADE French fries are SO good. I can't wait to try more! Don't miss out, you won't be sorry. read more

They have great food and atmosphere! Fish and chips is my favorite with a shiner beer on tap. Service was excellent. Will be back for sure!

I was visiting Sherman from California. This was the only restaurant I visited more than once. Everything was great! Good service, good food, and fun atmosphere. I want to go back here just for the fried pickles! read more

Super service, and friendly folks. The owners obviously care about the community, since this long time fixture seems to be Sherman's largest employer! read more
