The vibe at this restaurant is so fun. It mixes speakeasy with an industrial vibe. They have bountiful outdoor and indoor seating and heating lamps for the cold evenings in fall. The menu is great. They have a full bar with seating and private seating for small and large groups. Enjoy! read more

I have a group of friends and we go here once a month prior to a meeting close by. I have to say that I am underwhelmed by this restaurant. Nothing is horrible or tastes bad but nothing is exceptional either. My first time there, I ordered The Big Salad, the name is quite misleading it was anything but big. There was surprisingly few of the ingredients that were supposed to be in the salad. It was supposed to have mushrooms, avocados, sunflower seeds, tomato, carrots, , diced beets and red onions with chicken. There were exactly three small strips of chicken that were unremarkable and certainly not a full portion of chicken. I certainly expected to get a serving of chicken for the cost of the salad. I got exactly two mushroom slices and the same minimal amount of each ingredient. I expected a bountiful salad, but got nothing more than a disappointing salad with a lack of the promised vegetables. Vegetables are inexpensive so I can't imagine why this restaurant is so parsimonious in putting some on their big salad. They do have an excellent happy hour with drinks really inexpensive. Also, they have a deal on appetizers during happy hour with those at $5.00. If you want to save some money, have an appetizer as your entree. One of the ladies in our group got the spinach dip with tortilla chips and bread. It looked yummy and she had some leftover to take home. We had a big group the first time I went. We were seated near a door that went to the patio. Every time someone went in and out a huge gust of air came in. They set up our table in the wrong place. Before we were done with dinner my hair looked like I had been in a hurricane. The wait staff is competent and gets our drinks and food out quickly. That is a plus in my book. So ho-hum bland food with good service. Sometimes you don't get everything you want. I will continue going with my friends and drinking a double gin and tonic to make my meals more enjoyable. read more

The Greenhouse Restaurant in Denton has been in business since 1998, and it's still really, really good! Today I ordered the special - Cajun Chicken Sandwich with Tater Tots. I am not normally impressed with tater tot's - but today that all changed! They were fried to a perfect crispness. I ate one to see how they were, and gobbled them down so fast, thoroughly enjoying every bite! I want to go back just for the tater tots now. I am serious - soooooo goooood! The chicken sandwich was really good, I don't want to down play the juicy and tasty sandwich. The bun was grilled so there was crispness to it too. It was worth it! My husband and I came during a slow time, so our waiter was also the host, and he took great care of us. It really was enjoyable! My husband and I walked away very satisfied. read more

This is a quaint, cozy spot in Denton. Upon arrival, I had an Old Fashioned; it was acceptable, though not the best I have had. The service is excellent, with very friendly staff. I ordered the parmesan-crusted flounder with sides, but the fish was not fresh and had a slight fishy taste. I will return to try their other entrées. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since I started going to UNT! I drive past it constantly and it just looks so interesting. I was finally able to pop in for a bite this week. The biggest thing that pulled me here was the gluten intolerant menu. It made the ordering process so much easier and I didn't have to ask a thousand questions like I normally do when I eat out. The staff was really accommodating of everything we asked for. The place was so nice! We decided to eat outside due to it being such nice weather. I will for sure be coming back! read more

I wasn't expecting the atmosphere to be a dark intimate dining room with lots of greenery. Before ordering the redfish, i clearly warned I didnt want it burned. It was perfect but the Brussel's were so plentiful and charred, they overpowered the plate. It was more than Peter Rabbit would want! The fish would have been better paired with less Brussel's, and a starch. The salad was very fresh, colorful, and crisp. The menu is very diverse and definitely warrants a return visit. read more

Took the Denton 50+ Dinner club to this restaurant for this months dinner. I did not hear one complaint. I had the Salmon and it was one of the best I every had. My friend let me try her brisket taco which was also very good. I have never had a bad meal at this place. The waiter was outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew I should have taken down his name. I can't say enough about how we were treated. We were place in our own area and everyone was able to talk among each other. I would highly recommend them for a group because they know how to serve a group. read more

An oasis from the hubbub of the rough and tumble kinetic energy packed, frenetic pace of the "Real World," the Greenhouse has transformed this lucrative healthy lifestyle loving venture into a 21-Century unmistakably Denton, Texas, multiply receiving the title of "Best in Denton, Texas Awards." As one of the three original owners, Denton serial entrepreneur and Budget Bug Don Merki, designed a wonderfully luminous green space, which intentionally included the nice and almost serendipitous space that follows the orientation of the the outer space, which includes all manner of lush green plants and booths in the midst of walking path right around the majestic structure, next door to The Optometrist Ragsdale Vision Center, which became, by default, where I went for glasses and contact lenses. The Greenhouse has seen the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic Shut Down in the world, which thankfully we weathered somehow and have been flung free from the wreckage of a burning plane, free and easy. The Greenhouse is iconic and got there the old fashioned way: Fresh Farm to Table steaks, John B. Denton Mesquite Cooked Burgers, Rainbow Trout, and Craft Cocktails, including one called the Kroger Grocery Store Parking Lot Death Match. The full bar has a great rotating range of local Denton beer, like Denton County Brewing Company, and Starbase Brewing Company, which was actually featured at the Little d's Brew Festival, which was sponsored by the Rotary Club, who is the best organizer of public business community trade shows, and venue management. I aim to get back to basics like creating something that can last a thousand years, by mastering our craft, which is in our case which is a real crown jewel in premium elite fine dining, your own personal way. Cheers, Mark C. Fearing, Ph.D. read more

This restaurant is great! They have nice food and nice atmosphere. Good for date night, visiting family, or just a lunch with friends. They do brunch mimosa things on Sunday too. Staff is nice. read more

Can't be sure how they stay open with service that is almost comically bad. We've been here many times over the years, and the food is always good. We came for Sunday brunch, got here at 11, and no one gave us a brunch menu. When we asked for brunch menus, we got one for our group of 8 people. No kids menu even though we had kids with us. We sat around with empty coffee cups while we watched 4 employees hang out by the front door. Servers didn't even enter the room for entire 10-15 minute stretches, even though there were several tables with empty cups. No one checked on us between when we ordered and when our food arrived, which was easily twice as long as we had expected. They are not understaffed. They're just... all chilling out. No service. No urgency. No concerns in the world. read more

This was a really satisfying experience! First, the Greenhouse dining room and patio eating areas bring a great ambiance in which to eat your meal. Comfortable, woodsy, and earthy in feel. The service was good, our server did a great job with our group of 6. We were all happy with our food. I personally had the Shrimp Po-Boy, which is a monthly feature. I got it grilled and it was literally amazing. I also tried a bite of the Stuffed Chicken Breast and while it was really good, my favorite was my Po-Boy! read more

Be aware that parking is on the side on the building. Front door faces the Main Street. The booth seating is a bit tight. The service was good. Mac and cheese was good but cheese tasted like canned cheese. Salmon burger could have used some more flavor. Honey chipotle salmon was well cooked and mashed potatoes were very flavorful! Fair experience! read more

Their patio seating is really nice, as long as the weather cooperates. My husband had the chicken fried steak and after lots of debating I got the blackened redfish with grapefruit chili chimichurri, which I do not regret. It was a good evening. Looking forward to the next time we eat there! read more

We returned with new friends to visit an old favorite. Our server MaryAlice was quick, efficient, merry, and helpful. She made the the lunch an event. The location was fresh and the food was good. read more

They have fake specials. I've had the salmon very good steak was very good and the fish and chips can be breaded a little bit less you have to ask. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Service was great. Had an opera burger which was 5- star. Cooked medium rare as I like and great toppings and a really good bun. Appetizer of spinach artichoke dip was a little too thick to my liking and jalapeños were rather meh. Due to it being one of the better burgers I have had I will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Oh my gosh what a joke! The place smelled terrible on the inside and we waited 15 minutes by the host's table and nobody sat us. Two waitresses were talking they couldn't be bothered to ask us to sit or anything. Oh well if you see greenhouse keep on driving! read more

Again absolutely amazing. I got the brave combo burger and did a black bean patty and it was phenomenal. So much flavor and I think their thin wedge fries with the crunch is my new favorite fry. I'll be dreaming of them until I get back here! read more

A very good dining experience! Our server was training and did a very good job with the newbie trainee. The booths are nice and quiet, so this is a good place for a private meal. The menu has plenty of old favorites and some interesting twists. I got the salmon burger with sweet potato fries and I was very pleased. The flavors were good and everything was well-prepared. Thank you for a good experience! read more

We used to love this place, and would come here for special occasions or when we have visitors, but now only came here because of the limited choices of good restaurants in Denton. The place feels a little run down and the food is not really worth the money anymore. read more

Good food and always enjoy coming here. Got the taco salad, just wish it came with beans. Made NO sense to me that you had to pay extra for them. What taco salad doesn't come with beans? So I think that should be changed since the salad is already very expensive for what it is. The brisket tacos were yummy as well. read more

My food was good! The waitress was accommodating to my dietary requests and substitution of sides. He was patient, respectful, and kind. The person who delivered the food to my table, was also kind and wanted to insure that they didn't cook my Redfish or vegetables in any oil. The atmosphere was nice. It was dark outside when I went, but looked like they also had a nice outdoor area as well. Menu has plenty of options to choose from. I would recommend. read more

Great food, great service, incredible patio! Great spot to chill and enjoy a cold one.

A local gem with Denton charm. Vegan and gluten free options- it's been a staple in our life here in Denton . Locally owned. Love it!

We came here to celebrate a special event with a friend and his family. There was about 30 of us and they set us up in a banquet room with a set menu. They served the children first which I really appreciate because they can be a handful if not taken care of. The event had a cash bar and the bartender was a master of his trade making some amazing old fashioneds. He also recommended a great wine. Metler Zinfandel. We had a choice between chicken, fish or steak. I opted for the steak which was cooked perfectly medium rare. The Brussels sprouts were charred very badly and so was not so great. They brought several rounds of appetizers to the table and they were all great. The service was great here. I'd like to try the regular menu some time. Give this place a try they do good. read more

Stuck us in the bar right beside the only group in the place. Had a host wait on us. Seemed untrained or distracted. Failed to inform us of the cash/credit pay scam they run Gave us bogus explanation of the extra charge on the bill Mgr explained that it was because the credit card company charges them they MUST charge us EXTRA. on top of their already inflated prices Wonder when they're gonna up charge for their electric bill or the water used in the bathroom If you're want to charge more GIVE MORE. Decent burger & fries & tasteless redfish shouldn't cost $50. Lots of restaurants go out of business for this type of arrogance read more

Very disappointing. I used to eat here often back when it opened. Haven't been in some time. The interior needs a renovation. Badly. It hasn't changed. Same with the menu. It looks the same as when it opened. Well, except the prices. I paid $17 for a chicken wrap. It was not worth $17. It was decent but bland. When we got the check, and they charged a credit card processing fee. I mean seriously?! I just paid $17 for a some chicken in a tortilla and now I'm supposed to pay the credit card fee as well. I wasn't told anything about it. When I asked at the front about it I was told that it's standard practice in the industry. BS. I hope the owner reads this and makes some changes. It used to be such an amazing restaurant and cutting edge for its time. But now it's just sad and tired and too expensive for what you get. read more

Words cannot express the amazing experience we had last night at the greenhouse! There were 13 of us celebrating a birthday, they added extra chairs when more people showed up. The drinks were delicious the wait staff, funny, great with food ideas, and delivered our food, hot and wow! Each dish was better than the next. Our server, Kory was second to none. She laughed with us, brought us everything we needed with a smile. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean. And the windows really set the mood. For any occasion, even just a midweek lunch, this is the place to be! read more

I've been here for lunch twice in the past couple weeks and both times the food was excellent. Had the sirloin one time and the gnocchi with chicken this time. And both were very tasty. Cleaned the plate. Wait staff is nice and friendly. read more

Had a lovely late lunch at the greenhouse restaurant. We went on Wednesday so the wine was $5 a glass which got us off to a great start! Appetizers at half price added to the great deal. Our waiter, Cole, couldn't have been more helpful. It was our first trip there so he was patient and helped us decide on our choices. My sister in law and I split a burger and did the soup shareable. They split it ahead of time and we each got a cup of delicious chicken poblano soup. It was so much easier with the burger and sweet potato fries (also yummy) already split on separate plates. Very thoughtful. We were celebrating a birthday and Cole noticed and got us a complimentary dessert (to go because we were already so full from lunch). Great dining experience that made our visit extra pleasant with Cole's attentiveness. Thanks for such great customer service and awesome food! read more

Pretty decent atmosphere, service was pretty good. Would have been nice if the specials had been shared, I would have opted for the one for that day. Had the chicken fried steak, it was the toughest, driest, most tasteless piece of meat I've had in a long time. The gravy didn't help it. Tried the pork tenderloin, the flavor was good, but it was also heavy on the dry side. Pretty disappointing for the hype I sometimes hear on this place. Wasn't a good experience, I have had worse. read more

A week ago with my mom and her friends, I tried the honey chipotle salmon with mashed potatoes and broccolini. It was good but nothing spectacular, it was average. I was thinking of trying the kale pesto gnocchi which sounded really good but I asked the waiter to help me decide between that and the salmon, and he recommended the salmon so I tried it. I wasn't a fan of the sticky plate but the sauce was still good. Service was kind of slow I just wish that was a bit better. It took our waiter a minute to get me and my mom's straws for our water so we ended up having to ask another waitress to get us straws in which she gave it to us immediately. We also had to ask another waitress to place our to go order for my dad. Ambiance was cool though! Liked the tavern feel and lots of green plants. It might have just been an off day, the time of day we went, or the staff, but that was our first experience. read more

Been to the Green House several times since the opened in 1998. Always with a group or people who insist on this restaurant. Since 1998 the menu has not changed, it is booooooring. No exciting food, no exciting way it is prepared or presented. Friday night, not much going on here, spinach artichoke dip was cold, bland and looked like something one uses to fill holes in a wall. Yes, waitress took it off bill but friend waited for her to go to container and just left with most of her food on the plate. There are better options in Denton to have a nice meal. read more
