Chili relleno with hot tea
Jennifer Y.

The best thing I can say about this restaurant is that I'm no longer hunger. I had the chili relleno breakfast. Boy was it spicy! I loved the panko breading on the chili's. Other than that everything else was just standard. Ok service, ok decor. Oh one thing I did find rather unique was they had a grab and go section that had ready to go breakfast items for working folks. It was already empty so it must be for the early morning folks. But that was cool.

My favorite meal is breakfast. And Mountain Lyon cafe is my all time favorite breakfast place ever. The best breakfast burrito of all time!

Another wonderful meal, and as promised to myself a month ago, The Ruben Sandwich was terrific, service was on point, and the ambiance was, well, basic, But with music

French Dip sandwich

Plenty of parking as you drive up to the Café. As you enter the establishment, you order before you are seated. It took me a while to decide and ended up ordering the Hot French Dip Sandwich with a bowl of Black Bean Chile. After ordering you take your number and sit anywhere you want. The food came out pretty fast. It was pretty cold that day so I started with the Black Bean Chile. I can't take much heat, and the chile was super spicy for my taste. But it was pretty good I think? My taste buds were numb. The French Dip was a bit dry and the dipping sauce was too salty as were the french fries. It did satisfy my appetite though. Overall, it was average. Staff were friendly and service was good. The food was a bit salty for my liking.

Good breakfast stop. Most Egg Dishes around 8$. Prefer this over Wendy's and other options in town, with the exception of Blue Moon bakery.

Best brunch I had in Frisco…read more Butterhorn Bakery and Cafe is the highest-rated brunch spot in Frisco, and based on my experience, I'd agree with the hype. Of the couple of brunch spots I tried in town, this was my favorite. I ordered the Cornucopia with eggs over medium and substituted the home fries for fruit. The fruit was surprisingly good, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. A side of fruit can be pretty hit or miss when you substitute it at brunch, so I was pleasantly surprised. The eggs were cooked right, and the toast was fine. I opted for turkey bacon, though, and I'd recommend skipping it. It was pretty crispy and lacked much flavor. The standout was the cinnamon roll French toast. We ordered it to share with the table, and I highly recommend doing the same. It comes with two large cinnamon rolls that are soaked in egg batter and grilled French-toast style. It was top tier. I noticed several tables around us sharing the regular cinnamon roll as well, and those looked fantastic too. They also have a bakery counter inside with plenty of grab-and-go options. The pastries all looked great, along with fresh bread, cookies, and other sweet treats. If you're visiting Frisco and looking for brunch, Butterhorn is definitely worth a stop. And whatever you order, I'd make sure the cinnamon roll French toast makes it onto your table.

Decent brunch spot in Frisco! Staffs were kind, courteous, and quick. They have their own hot sauce…read moreand ketchup which complemented very well with brunch items. Country fried steak needs little more balance with batter that way we can taste more meat while enjoying the crunchy texture. we got to see our first now after driving from Denver so it was perfect to be out here today! I was satisfied with my skillet and it was very fulfilling! Next time we will come back for the famous cinnamon roll French toast ! ;)

I moseyed over to Sauce on the Blue after a long day of travel and was seated on the patio…read moreoverlooking the creek...? River? Flowing body of water.... Anyhoo! First thing to note: they have a good happy hour menu. Check it out! I started with the crispy Brussel sprouts, from said happy hour menu. Yum! Add some protein, and that could've been my dinner. Upon my server's recommendation, I ordered the rigatoni and sausage... was it good? Well, I was pouted for about 20 minutes when I realized the leftovers were left behind on the hotel room fridge after I checked out and was halfway to Denver. Yeah. Saucy, a lil creamy and top notch Italian sausage. Yum. It started pouring rain as I was about to leave, so I pasted time by splurging on some tiramisu. Was it the best I've ever had? I don't think so, but I finished the whole thing, so it was clearly still quite good. All in all recommend!

Truth be told, I'd give 4.5 stars if it was possible. However, Yelp won't change and in this case,…read moreit was closer to 5 than 4 stars. We visited while on vacation in the area. We wanted Italian food and definitely were not disappointed in our choice. It was very busy and outside dining was not a choice because of rain. We were flexible and took a seat along an area by the bar. Our experience didn't suffer as a result. Our server was very busy; however, she was attentive and took time to answer our questions and check on us during our meal. We started with cocktails. My dirty martini came out perfectly dirty and with the three olives I requested. Once we ordered, it did not take too long before our meals arrived. They were perfectly hot, generous in proportion and very flavorful. My Linguine Fra Diavolo was spiced nicely and surprisingly had many shrimp. My partner ended up bringing some of her ample meal home (hotel). We were honestly too full to get dessert, although the options sounded delicious. An odd thing for us was the lack of bread to accompany our meals. We could not think of a time when an Italian meal wasn't served without a bread. Nonetheless, our meals were great. Was the meal a little pricey? Yes. Was it delicious? Yes. Would I go back if I was in the area? Definitely.
