Went to City Limits for lunch today and as usual it was great. The food was wonderful, the service was great and I just love being in that restaurant because they make you feel at home. And those guys who cook are some of the best cooks around!!

frozen margarita - the best!! $6.75

"City Limits" - Bryce Mauldin You know a place is good when there's a lot of cars in the parking lot, and when you enter, there's a lot of locals sitting in the place. The reviews said this place was very friendly and a great value for food, the reviews were correct. It's not fancy in any means, but who cares when you want a good, solid, square meal and some frosty chilled strong margaritas for $6.75? Grilled Fish Fillets: $16.95 Super flavorful white fish fillets in a herbed butter sauce - flakey and tender. A huge amount of fries and buttered toast on the side, a bonus: grilled lemon. Salad also included. Chicken Fried Steak: $13.95 Chicken fried steak smothered in country gravy, side of fries and buttered toast and a salad. The highlight was the margaritas - SO GOOD. They sure do know how to make them in Texas! Return factor: 100%. I'm still salivating over the buttery fish and the cold, tasty margaritas!

Food was alright for the price, lots of people but lots of places to sit. Friendly and attentive service.

Off Menu Enchiladas
Chad J.

This place gets busy so arrive early. They have lots of seating inside but it gets packed fast! As everyone has said the wait staff are absolutely amazing!! The off menu enchiladas are amazing! Just ask for them. This place is an icon!

Chicken fried steak

This is a busy place, but despite the crowds service is fast and friendly. Their chicken fried steak has great taste, good gravy and nice flavors in the meat. The coating is nice and crispy. The only negative is that they don't have mashed potatoes, only fries and those are kind of greasy . The serving size is plenty big. It comes with a side salad that is just lettuce with a tomato slice The menu has decent options.

This is one of the best places in Sherman to grab lunch or dinner. Good food, good drinks, and the owner should be nominated for sainthood.

Was visiting a friend in Denison a couple weekends ago, and for a small town, I was honestly…read moresurprised to find this hidden gem. 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!!!

As a bonus, the pizza was excellent, too. Nice, fluffy crust and plenty of toppings. Definitely stop by if you're in town or driving through.

The food was even more fantastic than it was before. We started with the buratta which was sooo good. I had the chicken with asparagus and she had the salmon on risotto. I am not normally one to eat salmon but I tried a bite of hers and it was amazing. The chicken was juicy and so good with the garlic sauce. For dessert we had the 3 flight with the lemon Bundt, crème brûlée, and chocolate tart. All three were unbelievable. We will be back many times.

Stafford House sits on the south side of Denison's beautifully renovated Katy Depot--literally…read moreinside the historic train station that once served as a major gateway to Texas. 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

Everything came out quickly, and our incredible waitress made us feel genuinely taken care of!!! (I wish I would have understood and asked her to repeat her name because she is a true blessing!!!) The food and drinks were just as impressive. We ordered the carne asada along with an enchilada and taco combo plate, plus a piña colada. The carne asada was cooked perfectly and paired with charro beans that were packed with flavor. The chicken enchilada was delicious, and the beef crunchy taco added the perfect texture to the plate. The chips and salsa were some of the best we've ever had super fresh with great flavor!! And while the piña colada had coconut on the rim (not my personal favorite), the drink itself was incredible. We loved the atmosphere, bright lights, fun decor and had super fun photo wall in the entrance we loved! Overall, such a great experience. We will definitely be stopping back in anytime we're in the area!

Three meals ordered; Pick 2 # 1 combination Steak fajita quesadillas Among these dinners were: Crispy taco Guacamole Soft cheese enchiladas Pork tamales Beef quesadillas Rice and beans ( see pictures) Everything was delicious! I can't say enough about the attentiveness of waitresses and staff. Georgia Hernandez has 40 years of experience and it made our dining memorable. Greeting from the General Manager ( Lorena ) was so welcoming. The owner , John Lewis, stopped by our table to express appreciation for our first visit . His experience and knowledge of recipes added to our understanding of the quality he puts in every dish. We were surprised when they served a complementary dessert- Skillet Apple Pie. The skillet was hot with apple pie and topped with vanilla ice cream! Mariachi's Fine Mexican is a popular Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurant in Sherman, Texas, known for its made-from-scratch dishes, family recipes, and a wide variety of options like fajitas, enchiladas, and specialties, It offers dine-in, takeout, and catering, with a menu that includes appetizers, seafood, steaks, and a kids' menu, plus drinks like margaritas. A must try restaurant. I highly recommend. See you there!
