    Chilaquiles and Eggs
    Lindsey B.

    Stopped in for a quick brunch and had a fantastic experience. The chilaquiles were incredibly flavorful, and I loved that they came with two different kinds of salsas, the green salsa was my favorite. We also tried the gluten-free pancakes, which were amazing, great texture. The waitresses were extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back.

    Cute, little cafe offering a menu full of yummy dishes! Enjoyed a quick workday lunch here with a long-time friend and was pleasantly surprised. The kitchen was on a roll, the staff on step and everything was lovely. My favorite was the chicken salad sandwich with fries! Will definitely be back!

    The food here is top notch. Our server was amazing and kept up with us, casually, not in an annoying way. We sat by the window which was mirrored on the street side so people watching was fun. Very nice ambiance. Can't wait to try their new restaurant that opens soon. If you're vegan, get the Cauliflower Steak. It's enough to take home for dinner too and the Red Beet Hummus that's on the dish is really good. Everyone was thrilled with what they got. Party of 6!

    Classic breakfast

    If you're looking for a cute/nice place for a brunch or evening out I think this might be a good place to try. For a breakfast place I felt it needs a little more, at least for me who likes the basics of biscuits, gravy, grits, and hash browns. We shared the waffle and the classic breakfast. My first bite of the waffle brought the thought of cornbread to mind. Not mealy ... just the flavor. It was very thick but dry like old pancakes. The bacon was on point for great tasting and crispy! My favorite The potatoes had GREAT seasoning. We asked for ketchup but didn't really need it. The coffee was good. Be sure to ask for flavored creamers if you use them. The atmosphere was great and service was excellent ! *the coffee would go great with a big warm cinnamon roll or a piece of pie(hint hint )

    There are no words that are sufficient. This place is amazing. The vibe is small town swanky where you'd be comfortable dressed up or stopping in after running your errands downtown. Decor is thoughtful and upscale. The staff are incredibly nice and hopeful and make it a wonderful experience. The food y'all the food. So much flavor and the plating makes you feel very 5 star. Options are varied and you can tell so much thought and effort go into every detail. The cocktails are to die for and so pretty! We may be back tomorrow at this rate.

    Emily's Kitchen is a great find in Texoma! We frequent the 34 Chop House and Hidden Hangars and we were looking for som variety on a Friday Night. The food was great! We started at the bar. My husband had the Grayson Glow and I had the Old Fashioned... The Grayson Glow was the winner! For dinner my husband ordered the Chicken fried Chicken and green beans... it was delicious!!! The green beans were out of this world, a little al dente with a nice garlicky salty glaze.... Yummmm! Ihad the shrimp and grits which were also yummy!!! For dessert we ordered the crème brûlée and the New York cheese cake. The cheese cake was out of this world....

    Chilaquiles with green sauce

    Great little find of a restaurant in downtown Denison. The food was great and service was excellent. Came here for breakfast and left full and happy! I had the chilaquiles with green sauce and a pancake. My friend had the traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast although they were able to sub an English muffin for the toast. Will definitely be back!

    My wife and I have been wanting to try this restaurant since we heard about it opening 4 weeks ago. The staff were excellent, very friendly and very attentive to our needs. It was about 80% full of diners at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday...great sign that this restaurant and staff are doing something right! Diners were a nice blend of families, mid-30s/40s and seniors. Not too loud with soft music in the background. The ambience and remodeling they did on this old building in downtown Denison was phenomenal! They framed 3 sections of the original stone walls and then added loop lighting...beautiful use of existing materials. Additionally they found a large sliding fire door in the attic and added that as a unique decorative piece to one of the walls. The menu had a nice variety of options to choose from. We started with guacamole which was the best we have had in the Denison-Sherman area! My wife had the chicken enchiladas with rice and awesome black beans. As usual she picked the best entree as she let me sample hers. I will select this for our next visit! My chicken fried chicken was moist, tender and very flavorful. The red skin mashed potatoes were excellent along seasoned (just the right amount of garlic) string green beans. We finished off this fantastic meal with red velvet cake that was very tasty. It was an excellent experience and we will certainly be returning. On our way out we passed another couple going in and we asked if it was their first time. They replied no that it was their 6th time dining here! That speaks volumes that the folks at Emily's Kitchen are doing it right and building a strong and loyal customer base!

    HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! We rarely get the chance to visit other small businesses, so when we do, we're very particular. Emily's Kitchen did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the service was on point, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Special shout-out to our waiter Jes`us--you were amazing! Thank you, Emily, for running a place that delivers both great food and great service. We'll definitely be back!

    Roasted Beet Salad

    We have been here a few times to experience brunch, lunch and dinner, and have not been disappointed. It's true the place can get loud when there's lots of people, but service is outstanding and the food is worth it! We've tried many menu items, and I can easily say the chilaquiles will keep me coming back. The red sauce is tasty with no overpowering heat, yummy, and eggs were perfectly cooked. We shared roasted beets, delicious, and she had roasted cauliflower that she let me try along with the asparagus and butternut squash. Very fresh, nice crunch, excellent seasoning. We're so glad Emily's is nearby to offer such a wonderful healthy menu, and will continue visiting often!

    First time to Denison and heard we needed to try this out. Lots of incoming traffic but wait wasn't bad. Decor is lovely, bar setting nice and some good cocktail choices. Came in for lunch, service was great and only complaint I had was my drink took tad too long. Was just a mimosa .. I'd go back.

    Airline Chicken and Grits. Yum.

    Well now, if this ain't a Friday night done right, I don't know what is…read more Pulled up to The George Tavern and this place was hoppin' like a frog in a rainstorm! Live music rollin' on the back covered patio, cool breeze blowin', and folks kickin' back enjoyin' the night--just about as perfect as it gets That tap selection? Whew... they got more choices than a cowboy's got excuses. Something for everybody, and it was flowin' smooth all night Now let's talk food... we grabbed some chicken wings and I'll tell ya straight--those things were spot on. Cooked just right, full of flavor, and didn't last long on the table And if you're feelin' a little competitive, they've even got corn hole set up so you can toss a few bags while enjoyin' the tunes and the crowd All in all, this place has got that perfect mix of good music, great food, and a laid-back vibe that makes ya wanna stay a while. Cowboy verdict: We'll definitely be ridin' back for another Friday night under them patio lights

    I like this place but you never know what you're going to get…read more I've had great experiences with the service and food but can also get pissed off and get up and walk out after I've ordered an ice water. The turn over seems high since every time I'm there the employees are different.. Today I sat at the bar. Ordered a water and menu. Then she walked away. I just wanted to place my order but after waiving her down twice and she didn't return I walked out. Once you order this place takes awhile at times. Hope this doesn't continue. Not sure when I'll return

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.

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
