    The cook did a good job. The sausage was good. I would have really liked this plate if the oil it was made in wasn't old and staunchy.

    This place smells so musty and dirty. If you look around, you will see splashes of old food on the walls, oily imprints everywhere. The floor is dirty, the cabinet at the entrance is dirty. This place hasn't been wiped down in YEARS I am certain it's never been deep cleaned. The food was all cooked in dirty old oil. If this is how the front looks, I can't imagine how disgusting the kitchen looks. Our waitress was actually nice. We were acknowledged by maybe the owner on the way out as well. Please hire someone to deep clean this place. You will likely need to close for a week to get this done. It's that bad. My photos have more details on the food. Overall was decent but ruined because of the old smelly oil. We walked in and battled walking right out. We decided to give it a try and regretted it unfortunately. We both walked away feeling really gross for the rest of the day.

    The ambiance was supposed to be a country feel. As soon as hubby and I walked in you can tell this place is an older place. It had an old stale smell to the place. It was crowded and I told hubby let's give it a try. We were seated and I saw our server at the front of the counter and she watched as my hubby got up to go to the restroom to come over and ask what we wanted to drink. I told her I wanted an orange juice and then she said do you know what your husband wants to drink? I said no can you come back and get his drink order. The server told me the orange juice was freshly squeezed. I drank some and it tasted like orange punch. I ordered the Belgium waffle with a side of turkey sausage. The waffle was not good. I only ate 3 bites of it and the turkey sausage was dry. Hubby ordered the French toast with hash browns, eggs with cheese and turkey sausage. Hubby said the hash browns were under cooked and he said his sausage was dry also. Hubby said the French toast was decent. I personally will not be returning because food was not good at all to me. This is my personal opinion and others may think different

    When I am in Denton, this is a restaurant I really enjoy going to. They have home made chips that are so tasty! Honestly, for me, their chips are the best! And while I have only eaten sandwiches here, I am never disappointed. Today I had the chicken salad with grapes - so good! And our waitress was so kind and personable. You know how some wait staff are either too attentive or just disappear on you - thats not what I received today. It was the perfect amount of attention for me to enjoy my meal and also feel her presence.

    Reuben with brussel sprouts

    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!

    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

We were headed in that direction for an errand, so today was the day. We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday and the place was empty, except for two nice gals working the counter. I had already spotted the BLT on the menu and since it is nearly tomato season, the craving had stuck. With a name like "Ultimate BLT," how could we resist? Hubby added a cup of the tomato bisque, which turned out to be a pretty large portion. The sandwich comes with house-made chips. I kind of wish I had splurged on the carrot lemonade, which looked and sounded amazing, but I didn't. Next time. One of the gals let me sample the tarragon chicken salad. It was good but not quite tarragon-y enough for me. The BLT, however, was very, very good. It had a little spicy kick from something; maybe the aioli??...and the bacon was that perfect combo of thick, crispy, and chewy. The sandwich was big enough for the two of us to split, and I left happy. Bonus points for the soundtrack in this place. If you are a former 1980s punk rocker, you will appreciate the Joy Division and The Cure playing in the background. My soul did a little MOSH pit dance.

When we arrived I noticed how clean the restaurant was from the outside and it proved to be that way on the inside. We were seated promptly. There were about 5 other tables occupied at the time. I wish that I had gotten a picture of our food but I didn't think about it because I am not one that normally reviews businesses unless specifically asked to do so. I am a Chicken fired steak snob and I have to say that this one passed the test. It was the perfect size. It was tender enough that I did not need a knife to cut it. I had a side of green beans and mashed potatoes with it. This hit the spot for home cooking. Our waiter was Edvin and he was very attentive and made sure a few times that we were enjoying what we had ordered and asked if we needed anything.

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.

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.
