    The Great Egg Omelette
    Santanu S.

    Adding lettuce leaves to any entree makes it healthy, right? Well, that is what I told myself while enjoying The Great Egg Omelette. I ended up finishing all of the greens before I took a bite of anything else. That is how much I enjoyed its dressing. With the exception of a baked potato topping, I rarely have a dollop of sour cream on my food, so it provided an interesting flavor contrast. Some other restaurants charge extra for an English muffin. I liked how most of the egg dishes is served with one at not additional charge. Unfortunately, three years later, I still did not like their coffee.

    Patriot waffle, eggs over easy, and ham.

    Food is wonderful and consistent. There is never an issue with omissions or substitutions. Wait staff is very friendly and always happy to get your food just the way you want it. You never have to wait for a refill for your coffee because they give you a pot to refill when you want. Our favorite breakfast spot!!!

    Breakfast Croissant

    The breakfast croissant was so yummy! Owen always takes care of us and makes the experience fantastic. This place has the best vibes, should be called the Greatest Egg!

    2 Egg Breakfast
    Syd G.

    Met with a large group in their banquet room on a Saturday morning. So went in with the understanding that it would probably be slow. I was pleasantly surprised at the stellar level of service. We had about 15 in our group and one waitress handled everything like a champ. She got our drink orders and delivered them quickly. Then, she turned around and got all our individual meal orders. So nice to get our orders in 20 minutes. I had the 2 egg breakfast with home potatoes and sausage patties. Great recommendation by the waitress. Good food. A solid four stars performance.

    They give you the whole coffee pot!

    We stopped in here for breakfast and it was such a great experience! Our waiter Joaquin was amazing! Made sure my tea was always filled even gave me a to go one without me asking! That's great service! Make sure you sit in his section he will make you smile! The food was delicious and the coffee pot stays at your table to you leave caffeinated! Hope you go try them out! Enjoy!

    We stopped in for a quick breakfast when we were in Denton and had a wonderful experience. The service was fantastic!! I failed to get our servers name, but she was young and had her hair dyed blue. She was so friendly and pleasant. I would go back just for the service!! The decor was very inviting, as well. My eggs were cooked perfectly, and my husband loved his omelette. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

    I've tried the great egg multiple times. Even back when it was called the egg and I. Not the best breakfast place in town but it's definitely not the worst. Pretty decent food and decent prices!

    Undercooked bacon and rotten strawberry
    Mr. P.

    They brought us rotten fruit. There were gnats all over us, and the bacon was undercooked to the point of being unsafe to eat. The waitress was clearly overwhelmed with too many tables; I blame management. My wife and I each had the crab cake Benedict. The crab cake was real crab but it tasted old. When we first walked in we stood around for 15 minutes while the hostess and an old woman (presumably the manager) looked at each other and couldn't figure out how to seat us. It was very odd. The food is cheaply priced, and thus attracts a consistent crowd of elderly folks whose taste buds don't work anymore and don't care what the food tastes like or if it's fresh.

    Veggie Benedict
    Courtney D.

    I ordered UberEats from here and was thoroughly impressed because the food was super hot and fresh still! I even unexpectedly burned my mouth on the coffee a bit because it was so unexpected. I had been here a couple of times before the pandemic, and I can honestly say the food is just as good getting takeout as in person. They packed everything where nothing was soggy and the hollandaise sauce was in a separate container to keep it from impacting the rest of the food. It was my first time ordering the veggie benedict and it was an amazing amount of food with plenty of artichokes, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and asparagus on top of a toasted english muffin. The eggs were just right, and I loved the consistency of the hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were, also, a nice portion. So, I will definitely be ordering this dish again!

    Whole-Wheat Pancake
    Hong M.

    Searching for a brunch spot without a long wait on Sunday, I called and got on the list expecting roughly a 20 minute wait for a table for 4. Upon arrival, we checked in and sat on the benches out front. Seeing so many others waiting to be seated, we were skeptical that we'd be seated in the cited time. We were delightfully surprised when we were called a short time later. Our waiter was prompt and friendly, with our drink orders and our meal. Portions were good and the food was hot and satisfying. Atmosphere was comfortable and perfect for brunch. Glad we didn't wait an hour to be seated at the places up the road.

My partner in food wanted to try the King Kong against my better judgment. Looking at the photos, it didn't appear conceivable - to make matters worse, he wanted it to go! It came deconstructed. Four HUMONGOUS beef patties and probably a whole pound of bacon and beautifully melted cheddar. The bun was questionable, mostly because it was nowhere near enough bread for all that meat, but I get it, in a challenge situation, I wouldn't want to load up on bread. The patties were well seasoned and firm. I would have preferred medium, but since I was sharing, well done was fine. Not over done and still juicy. It also came with a container full of steak fries! I admittedly put a hurting in the fries, dipping them in the house ranch mixed with the jalapeño ranch. I wanted the fries to be crispier and the ranch to be thicker, but they were delicious nonetheless!! So how much of it did we finish?? I finished one patty with out bread!! My partner finished one and a half patties with sandwich bread. The bun got designated to my leftover patty. Tomorrow's lunch will be a single patty burger with half a pound of bacon!

To be clear, I celebrate the Denton fusion; it's one of my fave things about gems like Picone & Komodo Loco- the cuisine cannot be found anywhere else. Picone's chicken cutlets = mind blowing. The Piccata is my fave, but you really can't go wrong with any of their chicken parms. Their menu is fairly simple - no Cheesecake Factory novel to read. Check their website because they change their menu frequently. I love that they do this. Many things are staples but I've never been mad for choosing something new. Besides piccata, my partner likes the smash burger. I love the burnt carrots. Their focaccia pizza was outstanding. We like the potatoes and the Cesar salad, but they're outshined by the rest of the menu so we rarely get them. My recommendation: get a chicken parm of your choosing & one of their specials. Then share with one of your peeps. (The cutlets are the size of your head). Now let's talk staff and service. I have never ever had bad service there & have thoroughly enjoyed all interactions with staff. I feel like everyone really likes being there & cares about what they do. Go in with joy and joy will be returned to you. Ambiance: You order at the counter when you walk in. They'll give you a number and you sit wherever. It's super-casual, kinda small-ish hole-in-the-wall in the best way. It's always been doing a brisk business when we've gone. Be aware that the back room can get loud because of acoustics so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to it. There is limited onsite parking, but ton of street parking all around. I think that covers it. :) Enjoy!!

People seemed to love Picone, so we went! Interesting place. Small and casual. There is a counter at the front, and on the counter is a board which shows the menu. We were told we could take a picture of the menu with our phones, sit down and peruse it, or just go ahead and order. We ordered, were given a number card to place on our table, and the food was brought to us. MIL and I got the chicken parm, and SIL got the chicken piccata. SIL and I thought our meals were delicious. MIL said her chicken was overcooked and she didn't enjoy it. (She also didn't like that there were no printed menus, but she's 87 and likes things how she likes them.) The chicken parm comes with "Sunday Sauce," which they told me is marinara. To me, it was spicier than marinara, and I really liked it. The portions were very large, and I took most of my food home with me. I didn't notice if they offered desserts or not. In Boston we have great Italian food, and I hadn't found that in Denton - until now. This was surprisingly good food and I would definitely return.

I slid in wearing my Bears jersey, minding my business to grab a to go order, and walked out feeling like a VIP regular who's been coming here since the doors opened... The Nashville hot chicken sando isn't just good -- it's AMAZING AS ALWAYS, the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and reevaluate your life choices in the best way. Perfect crunch, perfect heat, perfect everything. And the cost? Practically a steal for the quality you're getting. Roosters could charge more (PLEASE DON'T) and still be worth every penny. Now here's where Roosters shows why it's different. Rittney -- the bartender with the kind of energy that makes the whole place feel like home -- didn't just hand me my food. She walked it a few doors down to me AND wrote "bear down" on the box because she clocked my jersey. That's hospitality. That's personality. That's Denton. Low light, upbeat vibe, and that perfect mix of older crowd meets everyday Joe. It's the kind of place where you can unwind after work, bring your people, or just sit solo and feel like you belong. No pretense. No noise. Just good food, good folks, and good energy. Roosters Roadhouse isn't trying to be fancy -- it's trying to be excellent, and it nails it every time.

The slaw is a little on the sweet side and chips were hard and soft at the same time. The bbq sauce that came with this plate was the best part of this plate. Will I go back? Yes because they have a full menu of things to try but I probably won't try the brisket again.
