Dine in area

Food was average. Fat Bronco was good but very messy and proportions seemed off. Too many French fries took over the flavor profile. Cheeseburger was good but average. Location was run down. Holes in the booth seats, minimal seating. Overall just not kept up. One staff member working with no assistance doing all the work tasks.

I got the single burger, it was amazing. The meat was great, but so was the produce. Nice crunchy lettuce. Also, good service and a very clean bathroom.

Mac n cheese chicken sandwich

Divey little place but the food was good. Tables and chairs were sticky. Not a lot of seating but did see a lot of take out orders. Weird huge bean bag. Interesting.

Munchie platter
Stephanie D.

Just had a great meal at fat shack. It's basically bar food but it's done well. I ordered a munchy platter that had onion rings, chicken tenders, and mozzarella sticks and fried macaroni and cheese balls. I personally judge all fried macaroni and cheese balls against what you get at the cheesecake factory and these are just as good at a fraction of the price. They serve them with marinara sauce. It was really good. Their ranch is good. The service is great. The vibe is kind of a more rock 'n' roll Wingstop vibe but if you're hungry and it's late in Denton, I highly recommend Going to fat shack for munchies. Experience was 10 out of 10.

Cannot believe I paid $12 for this. They robbed me fr and they charged 65¢ for hidden valley ranch. BIG AND GREEDY. Staff was chill tho

The menu got my attention with the catchy names. However, the sandwich was just too much. I know there is supposed to be alot of ingredients but fries, cheese sticks, and poppers just too much. Flavors get lost in the mix. Mac and cheese bites tasted like they were out of a frozen box. If you are hungry you will get full. But not very satisfying.

Receipt !

Just ordered food to go ! Never eaten here before until now and HOLY SHIIIIT! 10/10 recommend!! I'll post the receipt so you see exactly what I got ! THE CHEESECAKE BITES ARE INSANELY GOOD!

Great view too

I'm gonna be honest, coming here I wasn't expecting too much. That was until I pulled up and placed my order. Just walking in was enough for me to know I found a favorite. I was originally getting a sandwich to-go, but when I actually looked around the back (which includes a giant beanbag), I kinda just felt like sitting down. I'm glad I did, because I've just been sitting here eating a Fat Gorbie and watching a mix of anime and hells kitchen for the past 30 minutes. This place is chill. It's weird to see other reviewers call the people working here waitstaff and service. These guys are dope af.

Cheeseburger

I've tried Fat Shack a few times, and I'm starting to realize it's just not my kind of place. When they first opened up, it seemed like a dream to me, somewhere I could get fried Oreos at the drop of the hat. However, after a view visits, I'm less enthused. On my first visit I ordered one of the sandwiches that had a million ingredients. I remember it not tasting like much even with a slew of sauces and such. They were also out of batter this visit, so I couldn't partake in my beloved Oreos. Some time passed by, and I decided to have it delivered through DoorDash. I've heard some really great things about the hamburgers, so I opted with a basic cheeseburger. I also decided to get a couple jalapeño cheese poppers- something that can either be really good or just watery and gross. I also ordered some fried Oreos, and got a call about five minutes later that they were out of batter and couldn't fulfill that part of my order (grrrr) It didn't take long at all to get to me, so everything was still piping hot when it arrived. The burger looked very clean, and not sloppy at all like some of the sandwiches. It had some good flavor, but the texture of the patty just wasn't right. It was just gritty and gross, almost like a school hamburger. I'm guessing they just use frozen patties. The jalapeño poppers were also just terribly watery inside, which was very disappointing. I intend to come back in the future to finally obtain the Oreos, and maybe find a sandwich I like. Just a couple of things to note: this is a very sketchy parking lot at night. I've seen people going around cars trying to see if some one left the door unlocked, and have been accosted for some spare change every visit. I would not recommend coming at night. They used to have in house delivery, until the very early hours of the morning, but they have since switched to using doordash and no longer have any of their own delivery drivers. Lastly, both visits I was here they were playing some pretty "interesting" music, complete with quite a bit of profanity. It seems to just be the employees music, but it's so loud it's hard to miss. Just a heads up if your planning on bringing young kids.

I enjoyed this place very much! It's spread across several floors, and we made our way all the way…read moreto the top, where there's an open-air patio area. Plenty of seating was available when we visited in October, and the whole place was decked out in Halloween-themed decorations. Service was great, and there's a huge selection of drinks and food to choose from, so there's something for everyone. There's also plenty to do around the area, especially during Halloween, when Denton really comes alive with all the spooky vibes. Definitely the place to go if you're looking for a fun atmosphere and a bit of Halloween magic! The team serving the tables was dressed up for Halloween too. Food and service were great! The location is very walkable, and there are plenty of free parking spots on nearby streets. You might have to drive around a little during peak hours, but it's worth it.

LSA Burgers had pretty good reviews on Yelp and a beer and a burger sounded great to my crew. The restaurant is right on the square in downtown Denton. It just so happened to October and Denton goes ALL OUT for Halloween (we had no idea, but it was AWESOME!!!). This place has rooftop bar and seating so we posted-up up there, but not until I took in all the cool music related decor downstairs. Finally, the food. First, the most of the menu items had a Texas Music Twist, which was fun! While I have pics of everyone's food, I cannot comment on the names (I don't remember) and I didn't eat them, so not comments on those other than they were very happy with their selections. For me, I got the Stevie burger (Stevie Ray Vaughn namesake) and it was absolutely delicious. The burger had bacon, blue cheese, and a buffalo (wing) sauce and it was SO YUMMY! It hit all the right notes, I savored every bite, chewing slowly. The bun was absolutely incredible and "made" the burger! Soft and pillowy, yet had a subtle crisp so it held up well, even with the buffalo sauce could have made it soggy. After we ate, we did a round of shots of tequila in time for their "sunset toast"- which was a fun little community activity to share with all of the patrons on the roof. Just a fun vibe!!! We left and explored all of the Halloween coolness on the downtown square with happy, full bellies! Great food, great friends, great spot!!!

Rooster's is a Denton institution, and for good reason! The food is consistently great, although…read moreI'd argue their non BBQ items are even better than the BBQ. My favorites are the Rooster Tails (fried onions) and the chips and queso, but the real stars of the menu are the burgers. They're always fresh, hot, and juicy. The free peanuts are a nice touch, and they offer daily specials as well. I really miss the Bloody Mary bar, which was always a lot of fun, but their Sunday special makes up for it with a generous double for just $7. There's always a game on TV, which is a welcome break when you've had enough politics to last a lifetime. The servers and bartenders are consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. And whatever you do, don't forget to ask about the Yahtzee Roll at the bar. If you know, you know!

It was a last-minute decision, but I'm happy we tried it out. I was craving BBQ and Rooster's…read moreRoadhouse had the menu for it. The place has an eclectic decor and seating on two levels. There's a full bar on both floors as well. The staff was pretty attentive, but the wait for food took a long time. I was happy the cocktails came pretty quickly and were well-made. The food was all pretty good for the most part not wowed but good! I have no complaints about my plate; it came with a great portion of food and was reasonably priced for BBQ. I ordered pulled pork and a side of corn and tomato salad and coleslaw. The sides were different from what I've had before, but I did enjoy them. Their coleslaw is more vinegar than mayo-forward. The pulled pork was well-seasoned, and the side of BBQ was the perfect match. My margarita tasted as if they made the mix in-house, and I prefer this. Store-bought mixers are usually either too sweet or too sour. However, if it is store-bought, I'm impressed! This was not a sweet margarita. My partner went for the Tennessee Texas Hot Sandwich; I did try it. There was hardly any heat despite it being their spicy chicken sandwich. I'm not sure if they make their chips in house but it seemed so.

We…read morecouldn't decide on which burger to get so asked our awesome waiter, Delaney, to suggest a couple. She brought me the Bodacious and my wife the Sugar Burger and added Gouda. We were both amazed by the burgers, we also split some tots and loved them too. If you're wanting a good burger and friendly staff stop in and ask for Delaney :)

I've been to multiple Rodeo Goat locations, and this one is every bit as good as the rest. They…read morehave plenty of seating both inside and outside, a great bar with a large selection of beers, and--without a doubt--some of the best burgers in North Texas. I'm a pretty picky eater, so the unique ingredient combinations on some of their burgers initially made me a little nervous. My advice? Trust the chef. Unless you have an allergy or a genuine reason to leave something off, order the burger exactly as it's intended. The flavor combinations might sound unusual, but somehow they just work. Every bite is packed with flavor, and the creativity is a huge part of what makes Rodeo Goat so good. One of my favorite things about Rodeo Goat is the Battle Burgers. Every month, two wildly creative burgers go head-to-head, and whichever one sells the most earns the right to stick around and compete again against a new challenger. It's basically burger fight club--and thankfully, nobody talks about burger fight club. I've tried almost everything on the menu, but 99.9% of the time, I find myself ordering one of the Battle Burgers. It keeps things fresh, interesting, and gives me an excuse to try something I probably wouldn't normally order. If you're in the area and looking for an incredible burger, Rodeo Goat should absolutely be your next stop. Come hungry, trust the chef, and prepare to have your definition of a burger expanded.
