I don't know what the hype is? This place is always packed. I'm guessing it's always newcomers who won't plan on returning, like us. To start off we were greeted at the lower level and were given general directions as to where to go sit. Once we found a table it took at least ten minutes to be brought menus and asked for drink orders. While we waited we noticed a couple sitting next to us who seemed to be very irritated. They finally flagged down a manager and said that they just wanted to pay, but their waiter had gone MIA. After we placed our order, no exaggeration, it took over a half hour for our food to arrive. We noticed that every one who sat down around the same time as us were also waiting that long. They were busy so I can almost forgive the long wait. On to the food. My wife had a chili-burger, and I had just a normal cheeseburger. Both of them were very bland and dry. They had the taste of something that was warmed in a microwave, and not long enough. So for the food quality, we would not return unless to try something different on the menu. However, after having to ask two different waiters for items, because our waiter was now also MIA, we will not be returning to try any other items. We, as well as three other tables, had to ask someone for the ticket so we could pay and forget about the bad experience. I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you insist on dining on the square, go hit up Barley & Board just around the corner. Food is decent and service if far superior. read more

VERY good backyard burger style offerings. Very tasty, clean, and professional staff, and lots of versions of burgers. Nice location, and very interesting atmosphere. Try LSA burgers, guaranteed to love what they have to offer! read more

Everything here is good! That's why there's always a wait on Friday and Saturday. They have the perfect spot and you will love ambiance of this place. When we take the kids we prefer to sit inside, without the kids rooftop bar is our favorite. Every cocktail I've had are delicious but the pomegranate sangria is by far my fav! You MUST get the garlic Parmesan fries but the brisket queso is really good too. Georgie Boy is my go to burger. So delicious! And omg the Mac'n cheese!!!! It's the best ever. All of their staff is phenomenal too. read more

A cool place to get a cold beer and good burgers! Love the brisket queso! My daughter dislikes burgers but loves the Swiss mushroom burger...Only bad thing is the fries have been over fried last 2 times....please fix them! You shouldn't have to dip your fries in water to make them edible read more

Do yourself a favor, and go to this place. Service & atmosphere are awesome, and the foood is to die for. I am already craving their queso. Garlic Fries. Worth the bad breath. I was blown away by this place! Couldn't have been more perfect. I'm coming back ASAP. read more

Great food, good service.. love the environment. Every time we go it's a great experience. The burgers are really good! Nice big portions.

The burgers were awesome, thick meat and very generous with the toppings. Server was polite and funny enough to warrant a healthy tip. Didn't spend a year waiting for food or refills, everything was pretty quick for the quality. Delicious hella thick slices of onion. The decor was quaint and they have a really well done painting that's a spin on the last supper hanging near the ceiling. The painting alone warrants a visit. P.S. the fries come in huge servings, I got one order of reg and garlic parm each (both varieties were top notch), one order of fries is easily enough for two (maybe three) people. read more

LSA is the best burger place in Denton- hands down. Every single burger on the menu is immaculate. The workers are always so outgoing, helpful, and great. The rooftop patio and bar is the coolest part of it all too! The only thing that would make this place even better is if they took reservations. The artwork inside is gorgeous as well. This place deserves 6/5 stars!!! I can't wait for my next Georgie Boy. and garlic fries. read more

Burger was great. Queso and fries and crab cakes were amazing. Do not leave this place without trying the garlic parm fries! Our waiter was engaging and thoughtful. read more

Amazing food and super personable staff. Jared was super friendly and exceeded our expectations. The turkey bob is an amazing lighter option and the margaritas are fresh and delicious. Visiting in town but would definitely come back for this place. read more

Garlic Parmesan Fries!!!! Definitely get these with their house sauce! I usually go with the Waylon burger it's delicious! I love sweet tea and their sweet tea is great! If you're 21+ they have a drink that's like the red white and blue popsicle rocket pop I believe? That drink is so good! The servers checked up on us constantly and were so so kind! I have nothing but great things to say about this place! read more

Pretty bad first visit. Don't get me wrong, we'll probably be back. But just for the music, beer, and location. We'll eat at Whataburger first. The misgivings started almost immediately when I was handed a menu with (what I hope was...) mayonnaise smeared all over it. Quick trip to the bathroom and I was a little less grossed out. One member of our party order a sweet tea. I could tell from the expression on her face, something was very wrong. She then tried an unsweetened tea, and finally settled for a diet Coke. Everyone tried the tea and agreed it had a strong metallic taste, like bad well water. Maybe the new equipment is leaching a bit...? Around this time, I noticed that I was sitting in the dark with nothing to look at except a Barry White poster. There was no light above our table, so we had to read the menu using flashlight apps on our phones. It was also extremely cold, so we spent the entire meal with heavy coats on. Why am I looking at Barry White? And why is he looking at me? Oh well, I digress... Fries... they were greasy, limp, and basically horrible in every way. One translucent fry was so greasy, I actually held it up to show my wife that you could see through it. Oh well, I'll rescue them with ketchup... Nope. Ketchup was empty. Took 5 minutes to catch our waitress and get a fresh bottle. By then, the fries were cold and hopelessly repulsive. The fries were eerily reminiscent of Denton County Independent. Could there be a connection? Same oil? Probably just my imagination. Burgers... served on a 16X12" metal cookie sheet. Nice. No veg to be found on any of the offerings. They weren't bad, a little small and overcooked, but certainly not worth the $6.50 price tag. No veg? Really? Basically folks, a burger and a beer at this place will set you back $13, excluding tax and tip. The veg-less burgers are $6.50. Greasy fries are $2.50 extra. And beer is $4.00. Trust me... eat at Whataburger and come later for the music, the view, and beer. Speaking of music... why is the piped-in music different from what's on the TVs? Why show great music videos of SRV, while playing some bad pop country song? Weird. Service... our waitress was trying really hard. She gets an A+ for effort. But she committed a couple unforgivable sins of the restaurant business: (1) served beer #2 and grabbed beer #1 before it was empty; and (2) gave us our bill before asking about dessert (we wanted to try the pecan pie). Oh well, maybe next time. Then we noticed that the bill had only one copy (customer copy), no merchant copy. So, after 5 unsuccessful minutes attempting to get the attention of our waitress, we left without a receipt. Nearly $60 for 3 people... totally not worth it. Huge disappointment. Atmosphere... vibrant, minimalist, cool, very Texan (except for the creepy Barry White thing...). Absolutely great location and the rooftop bar will quickly become "the place" to take out-of-towners. No doubt, LSA will thrive despite the greasy fries, overcooked and over-priced burgers, and "sticky" menus. I hope this wasn't too negative. As a long-time Dentonite, I really want this place to survive and do well. It has tons of potential. Hopefully, they will correct some of the misgivings and start paying more attention to basic operational details. Bottom line, if you want a great burger and fries, there are at least a dozen better options in Denton. read more

The brisket queso is very good! The bohemian veggie burger was not as good as I remembered it being but my boyfriend loved his burger. The beer selection is good with lots of local options and service is relatively fast. Our two servers (a trainee, maybe?) were both friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The decor is funky and unique, but I did notice a neon sign I didn't see last time on the back of the upstairs bar that advertises "cock fights". Of course I realize this is not true and is supposed to be part of the eclectic charm, but it does seem in poor taste to me. read more

How do you feel about stairs? Like 'em? Love 'em? Can't walk up three of them without having a minor cardiac arrest? If it's the last one, then, for the love of all that is holy, don't sit on the second floor. We sat on the second floor, and I carried my little boy up twenty-seven flights of stairs. I made it up there without even being short on breath, but I was definitely thinking about telling my boy to cut back on the bananas. We ordered some sodas, and got the brisket queso. I would order the sodas again. The brisket queso was a very odd mix of not-great queso, alright brisket, and saccharin sweet BBQ sauce. The overall flavor was very similar to what you would imagine the love child of a cheese wheel and a sugar cube would taste like. Or, at least, what I've always imagined it might taste like. What I'm trying to say is, "Don't order the brisket queso." I then ordered a burger, and had a couple of more sodas. The Burger was pretty decent, and I would order the sodas again. My wife's burger had that same sugary BBQ sauce that was in the queso, and she was not a fan. I finished her burger for her, because I'm always willing to take one for the team, and then all of those sodas that I had drunk reminded me that I should locate the Men's room. I casually glanced around, looking for one of those little stick figures with no skirt on, and could see none on our floor, so I found a member of the waitstaff that was more than happy to guide me down about fifty flights of stairs to first floor, where the bathroom was down a little hallway. The trip downstairs wasn't bad, because, as all of you scientists know, water seeks the lowest level, and, so, apparently, does soda. I then walked back up those ninety-eight flights of stairs to join my family. I think it says something about my ability to enjoy small victories that I was proud of myself for climbing those hundred and forty-six flights of stairs and getting to the top not only alive, but also not even out of breath. I didn't order anymore sodas. read more

The burgers, the service and the atmosphere at LSA Burger make this a "must see" when visiting downtown Denton! It's really just that good! Weather permitting, make sure you check out live music on the rooftop and the mural on the wall on the 1st floor! read more

The newest addition to the Denton square just happens to be a funky burger joint. The bright neon lit LSA sign can't be something that you ignore for long. I just happened to have the chance to try this place out on opening weekend. The first thing I noticed was the wait....1 1/2. I'm not even mad about that, it's what you would expect for a new restaurant in this area. What was actually great was they took your number and sent you a text when your table was ready. This have me a chance to run to ESSC and have a few drinks beforehand. I would like to point out they have what looks like a wonderful bar upstairs that has love music and great seating. Once seated my eyes began to wonder the walls full of hilarious paintings and the numerous guitars that were shaped like Texas. Out server was fast and friendly. I had the Georgie boy burger, it was amazing. The bun was seriously one of the best I've had and the French fries were pretty darn good as well! I was very pleased with how well things ran on opening weekend. This place is awesome, I can't wait to take in some live music with a great drink. It's amazing to see how different this place looks now and it compliments the food perfectly. If things are on the same level the next time I go it will be a 5star review read more

My fiancé and I have been here 4 times since they opened. the first 3 times we had a great experience, good food, good service etc. The last visit is why we will never go again: We ordered two burgers that were brought to us pink. Now, I'm a native Texan and I like a good medium prepared burger here and there, but this was just awful. The ENTIRE inside of the burger was red. My fiancé pointed this out to the waitress who said "yeah, that is pink" and walked away. Didn't apologize, didn't offer to throw it back on the grill or make me another one, didn't even offer to comp the burger (which I couldn't even eat). We are big food people and LOVE new places, we tell all our friends if we had a good experience somewhere. I can tell you that we will no longer spread good words about this place. Just the thought of eating there again makes me sick to my stomach. read more

I was a severely let down. I see reviews saying "best burger in town" and it feels really misleading. I mainly give this one star because the beef didn't seem like the best quality. I've tried four different burgers and it's been the same experience every time (dull and dry). I don't know what kind of meat (or grade, perhaps?) they use, but for a Texas burger joint, I want the good stuff. I also think the brisket queso should be ditched -or- use a fresher, creamier cheese and a different BBQ sauce, if any at all. Ours was oddly sweet, lukewarm, and took on this plastic-like consistency very quickly. I can't emphasize how awesome it is that there's a burger joint in the square, but I really think it needs some tweaking. read more

After a 45 minute wait to be seated (while we stared at open tables), our party of 3 ordered a burger & 2 crab cakes. 45 minutes later they arrived, stone cold. Waited another five minutes before I got fed up and brought the dishes downstairs myself. I expressed my displeasure and at this point am still waiting! read more

Brendan made this trip to LSA the best he is the top reason to come here. Also the food is good.

We went here with a large crowd for dinner. When you walk in it's a very rustic scenery, very nice. Amazing wall decor one exceptional piece with the Texas state made out of instruments. Very accommodating to our needs for seating. Appetizers and drinks came right out. We order our food and it came out rather quickly. All but one meal. Once notified it wasn't brought out till well after everyone had completed their meal. That person got their meal to go. Once getting their meal back home the burger was raw with still having a pink cool center. I have a 3 due to the amount of people that was accommodating to the small area, the decent service, and great attitudes. Several comments were made that the burgers were too bland. Just not much taste. read more

Absolutely the worst named restaurant of all time. So bad I almost left upon hearing what LSA stands for (Lone Star Attitude...*cringe*) before I even sat down. Once you get over the name (or just decide to pretend it stands for something else, because let's be honest, ANYTHING else would be better) it's a cool place and just what Denton needs. It's a 2 story restaurant with rooftop seating that overlooks the Denton square and historic courthouse. I got the black bean burger (which also has rice or Cous Cous or some kind of rice-like starch in the patty). It was one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had. The patty had the perfect combination of flavor and stability. What I mean by stability is that it didn't just fall apart like a lot of veggie burgers do. I haven't had a beef burger there but there's no need. That veggie burger has everything you need. read more

I've been here a couple of times, the first two were for like four stars, but this third time. Ugh. The wait staff here need to GET IT TOGETHER. The hostesses are kind of rude and act like they don't care that you exist. We were sat on top inside, in the little thing overlooking the restaurant. I was really excited to sit up there because I thought it was cool. Guess I was wrong. We were sat and the waitress up there walked past us probably four times and finally a different server came up and asked for our drink order. I'm not going to say it was five minutes, but it was definitely a noticeable amount of time. We noticed that we hadn't been acknowledged. Again, there was a waitress up there walking past us. I'm PRETTY sure our table was the only table our waiter had up there.. the rest were being taken care of by this other girl. He brought us our drinks and our brisket queso was delivered at the same time by some other girl. He took our food order and didn't come back for about thirty minutes and we were dying for some water. But, the girl who was up there the whole time wouldn't even look at us. The girl who brought us our food was incredibly rude. Finally he came back and asked if we wanted more to drink. We said no and he told us to come downstairs and sit at the bar and he'd get our bill. Are you serious? I really like the food and drinks and atmosphere but this wait staff is very discouraging. read more

LSA Burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

We waited nearly an hour for our food but thought that the food would be worth the wait, but instead we were shocked by cold burgers. We were seated just one flight up so the location was not the issue. Our query about the missing French fries was met with a "MIA" server. From where we were seated I could see the fries on the counter yet no server. At this point one member of our group took our plates down and complained. You can make hot burgers at home and not spend this kind of money. read more

Service at the bar sucked. We say there 20 minutes, had to ask for menus and never got asked if we wanted a drink. Going to Cartwrights

Worst restaurant I have been to in Texas! Probably the worst in all the states I have been to (and that's 49 of the 50). Texas has some great restaurants and the atmosphere was kind of nice. They had some great facts about Texas/country artist that played, and the smell from the outside was great. Unfortunately, they can't get an order right to save their lives. Got extra of what I ordered none of , the burger was charred, and the really bad thing was that it took them 10 minutes to seat us (with at least 5 open tables that I saw) and 45 minutes to get the food after we ordered. I walked out. I will not be back. There are too many actually good places to eat on the Denton square to waist my time with crap. read more

Wow! Everything about this establishment is impeccable! The concept, the layout, the massive TV's, everything about LSA screams Texas! After being promptly greeted and seated it wasn't long before the scrumptious appetizer of brisket queso at my finger tips. Shortly there after my burger arrived. To my surprise, this was, by far the best $7 burger I've ever had. HOWEVER, as I finished off the last chip and scoop of queso I looked up to see the most disrespectful picture of Jesus with "his disciples" ... Quickly shielding my young children's eyes from such blasphemy I stormed out of the restaurant and will only return for take out service. Praise Jesus. read more

This is a new place and they definitely need to work out kinks in ordering. On a busy lunch crowd it took 25 minutes to bring out one of our burgers and an extra 10 minutes for our other burger placed at the same time. Twice they brought out some else's orders to us and wound up having to take them back to the kitchen. Burgers were good and garlic parm fries were really good but not on menu. Texas music theme done really well and rooftop bar area really nice. Worth a try on a couple of weeks when they have more experience. read more

Came in for late lunch. Sat right down. Service was great. Had the Texas Chili, surprised that it had beans, but it was delicious. Served with Fritos in a bag, cheese and onions. All in all, great experience. My one complaint and reason for only four stars is no Sweet-n-Low. Come on, man! THINK PINK! read more

LSA Burger - Texas Chili - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

They get only one star because I can't give them zero. This is the 3rd review I've written about LSA and I invite you to read the rest of my reviews. When I walked in there was no hostess in place, so I went straight to the bar. Bartender asked me where I wanted to sit, I responded "I'll sit anywhere! " He smirked and said "aaaaaaanywhere?!?" Surprise! he was referring to his penis. Due to the fact that this is not the first time I've had issues with the bartender staff, I won't be coming back. My server was Brianna. She was lovely, prompt, and friendly. I was eating alone and she was pleasant and talkative. I saw her being nice to the other guests around me too. Bye LSA! Not worth it. read more

LSA Burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

I was there last Friday 10/28, and my bill was 11.91. I wrote cash in the tip line and left a $5 bill for tip, because the waiter was nice and we had a large party. I realized the next day that I (along with EVERYONE in my party with a debit card) was charged twice. I went in Sunday and the manager said she would refund one of the charges right then. Well, she didn't, and since then, the two charges are still there, AND one of them has been upped by $2, to $13.91, like I left a $2 tip. I'm getting really frustrated. The food was good but this kind of customer service is ridiculous. read more

I went back to LSA after two previous visits where we had lousy service and no consideration from management when it was brought to their attention. Tonight I ordered a cocktail and their crab cake sandwich which 'came with French fries'. When my sandwich was served with no fries the server wasn't even going to address the fact. I asked him where are the fries and he said they 'would be out soon, they are served separately'. They never were served at all. So I asked him to reflect this on my bill. It wasn't. I asked him if he told management about the issue and he said 'yeah, they said it doesn't say the fries come with the sandwich..., wth! Why did he ask which kind of fries I wanted with my sandwich when I placed my order if it didn't come with them?? Needless to say , I won't go back. Terrible way to treat customers, get your menu straight and don't make things up SD you go. read more

I am kind of shocked this place doesn't have four stars! I absolutely love coming here with family. The atmosphere is laid back, they have local beers on tap and the burgers are superb. At times the service can be a little slow (but they are still a new restaurant working out the kinks). I recommend first off getting a spot on the upstairs patio (best view of Denton Square). As for their food I would try the Los Lonely Burger (kind of spicy but delicious!), the Turkey Bob (aka turkey burger), the garlic parm herb french fries to share and a side of the coleslaw (it is SO good!). read more

I'm pretty amazed by this place. Great scenery if you want to sit upstairs. You get to enjoy the view of the square and get a nice breeze as well. They have amazing juicy burgers. I tried the ready Freddie and OMG. If you love BBQ, pickles, and caramelized onions, you'd love this burger. I'm not a big fan of cheese, but all my friends really enjoyed their parmesan fries. They have a cool tradition during sunset to do a toast with one of their free shot of beer too. At least I think it's beer, I'm not a fan of alcohol so I gave my free shot to a friend. Really cool place to go to hang out with friends, or take a date. read more

Waited 25 min to be helped at 3pm on a weekday. Our drinks and appetizer were served promptly, but we stared and politely waved at the bartender (Kendall), who decided that cleaning the machine screen for 10 minutes was much more important than actually taking orders. We also tried to get the other waitress's attention (Margaret), who decided that walking aimlessly around the restaurant was more important than taking orders. When I ordered from the bartender, she proceeded to bitch to the other waitress in public (which is highly unprofessional), when BOTH WERE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS. When I asked to talk to the manager, the manager did not even APOLOGIZE for their horrible work, and just said our food was on them. When a bartender, a waitress, AND the manager lack the decency to APOLOGIZE for wasting our time... you know this is a horrible establishment. The food is mediocre (a normal burger joint), but is it really worth it if you have bad service? I think not. read more

Brisket queso was absolutely atrocious. Left a weird taste in my mouth all day. Even after the very fishy "fresh crabmeat" burger. Servers are super chill and the bar is adequate. Lone star attitude is not a place i plan to frequent although it serves its intended purpose well. read more

LSA Burger - Didn't bother to finish the queso. Draft beer is awesome tho - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

The square has a new bad boy in town, and he's known has LSA Burgers...Alright that as lame, but it's true! LSA Burger Co. is new to the Denton scene, and at only 3 months in, it's taking Dentonites by storm. Open late everyday of the week, and even later for a college kid's weekend, LSA is an awesome new place to get some late night grub to battle all the overly healthy eating you did during the week. With a menu full of Texan-themed burgers, soups, salads and (my favorite part of the menu) NOT BURGERS. So if you're dating a girl (or guy) who doesn't eat beef, LSA caters with 6 hearty burgerish options. Including turkey, lamb, veggie and a few other remarkable centers to your sandwich. The wait was a tad long, but that's expected for a bumpin' place like this; but LSA asks for a phone number, and will text you when your table is ready, so that's awesome. I was able to go across the street, grab a quick drink and come back ready to be served. Service! Yes! my server was quick and friendly about everything. I'm definitely going to be making many trips to LSA while my time remains here in Denton. Check it out! read more

If you are in Denton, TX you must eat here. The atmosphere is electric and you have to eat on the rooftop. The view is amazing. The often have fabulous live music. We love their brisket queso. The burgers are all delicious. Highly recommend LSA Burger!!! read more
