Reuben with brussel sprouts
Laura P.

Delicious food! Reuben was great and juicy. The brussel sprouts were very flavorful and crisp. And a good portion at that! May was an excellent waitress and overall a great visit here.

Loved this place! This place came highly recommended to me so I had to give them a try. I had a little time while getting a new battery installed in a car and so I gave them a try. Upon first entering the ambiance was very pleasant. They were very busy and yet the noise level was such we were able to visit comfortably. Typical cafe type setting, but pleasant. The star of this place is the service and the food. Noah, our waiter gave us great service. He was on top of our experience and was a big part of making the total meal experience a great one. I ordered the pancake combo breakfast. It came with 2 eggs cooked to order, a breakfast meat, hash browns or home fried potatoes, and of course pancakes! It was all really good! Also at our table was a BLT Sandwich and the Tuscan Grilled Cheese. Everyone was really happy with their meals. I don't live close, so probably won't be a regular, but certainly won't hesitate to come back when I am in Denton at a meal time!

Western burger is one of the best burgers in Denton

Cajun Pork Chops.... sorry they were so good i forgot to take a picture of the before... but the after tells the whole story

Cheeseburger and fried okra
Jon M.

I decided that I wanted a burger, so tried this place. I don't like the location because it takes a few to find since it's at the backside of the building your GPS will take you to. But not overly bad, though. Let's start with the okra since that's the first thing I ate lol. It was fried okra, nothing overly special or anything, but it was a change from fries like everyplace else has (it's 1 side of your choice, which had a decent list of choices). Now onto the burger. I am no fan of mayo, so I got mustard instead. The burger was pretty good size and tasted pretty good (it was a burger, so nothing to really stand out). The one thing I didn't like is that the bun they use has a sweetness to it which I can see being popular, but not a choice I would prefer when getting a burger, since the Sweetness doesn't really go with it. If got their BBQ one, might be different. The good part of the bun, though, was it was soft and didn't start to fall apart like they do many places. Overall the food was good, not exceptional. The staff was really good, though, and made it very easy to place the order, find a place to sit down, and the order was brought out to me. I may return, but if I do, would use that to get their BBQ one and test that one out. Also my order for a decent sized burger and fried okra was only just over $11, which is really cheap these days

The food is always amazing here! and the service is great. We are regulars and haven't ever had a bad meal!!

Mac n cheese
Patrick A.

My wife and I were out driving looking to grab a quick lunch and found Sidewalks Cafe. It's a small little cafe but the tables aren't packed together which is good. Our server was a nice young lady named Morgan. We asked her what was good and she made recommendations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Morgan was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. I chose the catfish on her recommendation with fries and Mac n cheese. It's one piece of fish but it's a big piece. Was cooked perfectly and the breading was crispy. The fries weren't really salted which I MUCH prefer. Most places over salt fries. Fries were nice and crispy and the Mac n cheese was creamy and very flavorful. My wife got the Tuscan grilled cheese with arugula and avacado with tomato basil soup. I sampled it. It was great. Our drinks stayed topped off and Morgan came to check on us several times. Service was great. The menu has a lot of options so I think anyone can find something. It's a small little cafe but it's clean and they had a lot of staff working. However as we sat there we noticed a lot of burgers coming out of the kitchen. It's a thick burger on a sweet Hawaiian type bun according to our server. So next time I'm trying it. I very much recommend this place. Great food and great service. We will go back.

The food selection was broad, but not too busy. I ordered the Oxbow Sourdough Burger. The meat patty was thick, seasoned well, and made to perfection. It had mushrooms, cheese, and bacon. The bacon was thick and crisp. Yum! The French fries were to die for! They have truffle, sweet potato, and garlic. I ordered a mix of sweet potato and garlic. I highly recommend both. The truffles were on top of the fries, if that is how you like them, but the sweet and garlic fries were a HIT! They had a myriad of drinks and sweets and the ambience is so country chic and the restrooms were beautifully decorated AND spotless! Now the best part. The staff was SUPER friendly! You could tell they wanted to be there. We were there for the last hour and they were all so warm and welcoming! One girl even volunteered to take a family pic of us as we were headed out. This is a hidden gem that I will definitely return to! Thank you for the wonderful dining experience!

You can sit in or outside with your fur babies which is a rarity Menu is fresh, albeit a little pricey in my opinion. 2 burgers and a grilled cheese was 76 bucks. Also be careful as they automatically tip at check out and you order inside and they bring the food to you. Thats it. You fill and refill your own drinks and there is no table service. All in all it was a good experience and was pleasant outside on a nice Saturday for brunch. Well definitely be back since they are so dog friendly.

They host great events throughout the month. Most recently, my friend and I attended a free Drag Bingo event. It was super fun. There is open seating indoors and out. This event is hosted outside, so weather can have an effect on comfort. I do wish their seating options were a bit more comfortable, but I am also recovering from back surgery so I have to be a little more picky about what chairs I choose. The food and drinks are always good. This last time my friend and I shared a chicken quesadilla and steak fries. Both were amazing. They have an artisan cocktail menu that is added to consistently. I have not yet tried one I didn't like and they are always interesting combinations I wouldn't have thought to try on my own. Highly recommend checking out one of their fun events or just going for a bite and an upscale drink at a decent price!

Everything we ordered was delicious. The guacamole tasted super fresh, the queso was flavorful and came in a generous portion, and the salsa had just the right amount of kick without being too spicy. The only small hiccup was the chips situation--they give you big portions of guac, queso, and salsa, but the chips come in a tiny bowl. (Literally 10 chips) very sad for 6 people to fight over so little of chips. Not a huge deal, just a bit surprising. We also tried the margaritas--they had great flavor, though they tasted absent of tequila. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back...maybe next time we bring our own chips! :)

Let me set the scene: I walked in expecting a casual meal and maybe a decent taco. What I got instead was a borderline spiritual awakening wrapped in foil and served with rice and beans. First of all -- the giant piña colada. When they say giant, they are not messing around. This thing arrived like it had its own gravitational pull. I'm pretty sure I saw a small family of tourists orbiting it. One sip and I was transported to a beach that doesn't even exist on any map -- coconutty, icy perfection with just enough kick to make me briefly consider texting my boss that I've moved to an island and won't be returning. Then came the beans. Listen carefully: I don't throw this word around lightly -- perfect. These beans were so good I genuinely paused mid-bite and just stared into the middle distance reevaluating my entire life. Creamy, rich, seasoned like someone's abuela whispered ancient secrets into the pot. I would trust these beans with my taxes, my passwords, and honestly my emotional well-being. And the corn tortillas... dear lord, the corn tortillas. I have had tortillas in many places, including at my own abuela's table -- and saying this feels like confessing a sin -- but these might be the best I've ever had besides abuela's. Warm, soft, slightly charred in all the right places, like they were handmade by someone who has been perfecting this craft since before I was born and possibly before electricity was invented. If I could build a house out of these tortillas, I would. I would live there. Happily. And then--just when I thought things couldn't escalate further--the huevos rancheros arrived. Eggs cooked to that perfect sweet spot where the yolk still has a little rebellion left in it, laid over a bed of everything that matters, all tied together with a sauce that refuses to be anything less than unforgettable. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you question why you ever settle for anything less in life. Comforting, bold, and somehow both rustic and wildly impressive at the same time. Everything else on the plate? Outstanding. Rice that actually deserves to be eaten and not just politely ignored. Salsa that sneaks up on you like, "oh this is nice--OH okay there it is." Service? Friendly, fast, and somehow emotionally supportive. Atmosphere? The kind of place where you immediately feel like a regular even if it's your first time. Final verdict: If you are anywhere within a 50-mile radius of Denton and you are not eating at La Fondita Mexican Restaurant, you are making a series of deeply questionable life choices. I came in hungry. I left changed.
