Rooster's is where I always take people who are new to town. Better than LSA by far. Dick's is also good though.

Rooster's is amazing, LSA is always fun to go to for the atmosphere, and the burgers are pretty good. I'd also suggest Crooked Crust right off campus, it can get cramped easily, but its always a good time going there and its great pizza for pretty cheap too!

If the weather is somewhat cool (right now, forecasting a high of 92), and you want a neat atmosphere on the square, go to LSA and sit on the balcony.   Then, after you're done, take your daughter to Beth Maries right next door.    Then take her a few shops down to Atomic Candy.

If you've not been to Denton for some time you'll see a lot of changes especially on the Square.  On and around the Square, there are a variety of eats.  My advice is to come, walk around to see what's cookin' and then make a decision. 

Welcome back.  We've missed you.

Mexican:

Sabrocita's

Casa Galaviz (A little bit less Mexican, small family owned and hand made flour tortillas that are worth every calorie)

Central American:

Guatelinda Cafe (Pupusas and Chile Rellenos oh my good god)

Sandwiches:

New York Sub Hub

Milkshakes:

Frosty's

BBQ: 

The Juicy Pig (I will ague fervently for this over Bet the House all day long)

Burgers:

Yeah, I ain't even going there.  Burgers are war in Denton

I heard Atomic Candy was closing.  Is that correct?

This is a crime against humanity if true. 

Edit:  I think you may have that confused with The Candy Store that was on the other side of the square.

Boca31 for sure.

komodo loco is a new ramen & sushi bar. It's across from oak street draft house so you can hang out there afterward.

thai square is my favorite thai restaurant

hoochies is a good choice for gulf sea food

dentons deli (used to be weinbergers) is a good place for sandwiches & subs.

We should keep an up to date list of the all the mom and pops restaurants , and  the regional seated service restaurants in UNT/Denton area. Maybe bars as well for the night before, or after an early game.

Tex Tapas.  Get the calf fries. 

Or the fried pork chop and waffle. Or green curry meatballs. Or the chicken biscuits. Or the brussels sprouts. Or the deviled eggs.

Dammit, just get it all.

"The Candy Store" on the north side of the Square is closed.  "Atomic Candy" is on the south side and seems to do a brisk business. 

Thanks for the clarification.  I was surprised to hear that because it was always busy and my kids loved that place.

How long has that place been there?  I've never heard of it.  Probably have walked right past it multiple times.

A few years I think. To the right of Dan's.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
