Walk-ins welcome

I enjoyed this place very much! It's spread across several floors, and we made our way all the way…read moreto the top, where there's an open-air patio area. Plenty of seating was available when we visited in October, and the whole place was decked out in Halloween-themed decorations. Service was great, and there's a huge selection of drinks and food to choose from, so there's something for everyone. There's also plenty to do around the area, especially during Halloween, when Denton really comes alive with all the spooky vibes. Definitely the place to go if you're looking for a fun atmosphere and a bit of Halloween magic! The team serving the tables was dressed up for Halloween too. Food and service were great! The location is very walkable, and there are plenty of free parking spots on nearby streets. You might have to drive around a little during peak hours, but it's worth it.

Travel Eats Denton. Was in town for a conference and needed a place for my colleagues and I to…read morewind down from "conferencing" all day. LSA Burgers had pretty good reviews on Yelp and a beer and a burger sounded great to my crew. The restaurant is right on the square in downtown Denton. It just so happened to October and Denton goes ALL OUT for Halloween (we had no idea, but it was AWESOME!!!). This place has rooftop bar and seating so we posted-up up there, but not until I took in all the cool music related decor downstairs. Finally, the food. First, the most of the menu items had a Texas Music Twist, which was fun! While I have pics of everyone's food, I cannot comment on the names (I don't remember) and I didn't eat them, so not comments on those other than they were very happy with their selections. For me, I got the Stevie burger (Stevie Ray Vaughn namesake) and it was absolutely delicious. The burger had bacon, blue cheese, and a buffalo (wing) sauce and it was SO YUMMY! It hit all the right notes, I savored every bite, chewing slowly. The bun was absolutely incredible and "made" the burger! Soft and pillowy, yet had a subtle crisp so it held up well, even with the buffalo sauce could have made it soggy. After we ate, we did a round of shots of tequila in time for their "sunset toast"- which was a fun little community activity to share with all of the patrons on the roof. Just a fun vibe!!! We left and explored all of the Halloween coolness on the downtown square with happy, full bellies! Great food, great friends, great spot!!!

The crab claws were TO DIE FOR, but that 24 Layer Cake, JoJo's Strawberry stole the show. I said it then and I'll stand on it now: that cake was the best thing I ate in 2021. Great food, sexy vibe, great ambiance. Definitely due for another visit. Palate don't lie. ‍

I came to Dallas for the Cowboys Vs. Commanders game and Drake's came highly recommended. I made…read morereservations for Friday night at 7pm. We arrived and were promptly seated. The dress code is STRICTLY enforced. We witnessed someone turned away so if your a male, pay close attention. This place is definitely date night atmosphere. Dimly lit, red curtains, upscale atmosphere. Our waiter was nice and attentive. He made good recommendations and we took him up on a few. I ordered the Pasta Zaza with Italian sausage along with the lobster Mac & Cheese. My wife ordered the Pesto rigatoni. The food came in about 30 minutes. The pasta zaza with sausage was DELICIOUS!! The Italian meat is an absolute MUST! Super flavorful the sausage was. The spicy sauce isn't that spicy either. I also had the Lobster Mac & Cheese. This is not your typical Mac and cheese. More like shells with cheese. The lobster though is plentiful and good. The Mac and cheese was almost the same size and the pasta Zaza. I wished the Zaza was a larger portion but it was still good. Overall Drake's is a great time. I loved my time there and I'd happily return the next time I'm in the Dallas area. Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. They do have bar area with TVs if you're looking to catch some sports.

Pizza is awesome, some of the wines are decent. But, heaven forbid you ask to sample a wine before…read moreyou buy a bottle. I've been to many vineyards, and have never been told no. Here, I asked to try sample of a blend, about a $30 bottle. Then I wanted to compare it with one of their cabs, about a $47 bottle. Nope. I was told "I'm not authorized to give any more samples", in an almost hateful tone. I was dumbfounded. A vineyard, selling wine, but unable to let you sample more than one. So, basically they lost a sale on a more expensive wine. And then a friend in our party asked if there was any coffee available (it was a chilly evening). A different staff member told him, also in an agitated tone, "I don't know, maybe there's some out there somewhere, go look". All I can say is I think there needs to be a staff training on how to work with their guests in a more friendly and welcoming manner, and how best to market and sell their products. It's a great venue, and I may be back. It's a fun place to meet and hang out with friends, and some great musical talent. The food is good, what I was able to taste was a better Texas wine than I've had elsewhere. But, customer service is in need of change.
