The Definitive Denton Restaurant Thread

Harry · June 29, 2005

Any new or old restaurants that we should be aware of? New chains? New locations? And more importantly do they support UNT?

I have enjoyed Rudy' and I love their support of UNT. Their B-BQ is a little high priced- I'm not a big fan of their scale system - but the food is good. Also the beer is cold.

I wish there were more fun restaurants and bars closer to Fouts...

How about the Texas Pickup... OH sorry.....

Harry · June 29, 2005

Texas Pickup had the best Chicken Tenders I have ever eaten!

What about the State Club ... DOH !!! I did like their chicken tenders and burgers.

Japango if you like sushi.

HOOTERS!!!!!

Just a few miles out of Denton, The Ranchmen's (Ponder) Steakhouse. Any close-to-Denton restaurant that was good enough for Fay Dunaway and Warren Beatty to eat at is good enough for me.

Actually, many celebs have eaten at the Ranchmen's.

Saltwater...operated by the people who own Sweetwater. Its across the street from Sweetwater and the seafood is great!

I was looking through Texas Monthly. In the May issue under North Central Texas, Harrahs in Denton was listed. I looked at the June issue and it wasn't there.

Huuummmmm....

I really enjoy the burgers and fries at Cool Bean's.

That was probably supposed to be Hannah's. Nice place.

Greeneagle87 · June 29, 2005

is that macdonalds by fouts closing? last season after every game,me and my friends went there, and wanted to start a tradition going after every game.

Is it closing?

eleazar · June 29, 2005

Okay, here's my list:

-------------------------

Frilly's (for new orleans "like" seafood)

Rudy's (for BBQ)

Thai Ocha (for asian food)

Katz (for a good Burger)

Yummi's (for greek)

Evergreen (for chinese buffet)

Botchy's Bistro (for that cafe style food and kick ass deserts)

Popeye's (my favorite fast food)

too many good mexican places, i like more of those little dives that are on Elm and Locust near Eagle rather than the larger chains.

Only Rudy's on that list shows outward support of UNT, although I am sure that most support UNT as half of the staff probably goes there.

Roadhouse. Big supports of UNT football. The wait staff wear jerseys during the season.

DeepGreen · June 29, 2005

Texas Roadhouse or Logan's Roadhouse?

untgirl04 · June 29, 2005

Hooya is a staple in my diet, but Katz has some of the best hamburgers I've had in a while. Of course, you can always go for Chicken Express.

mhow2 · June 29, 2005

Central Grill

bugers are better than Katz IMO and have some good wings.

It is right next to Hooya in Carriage Square.

GrayEagle · June 29, 2005

When I have the time and the bucks, I love to go to Outback. They're great NT supporters. But, I have to admit that I like the home cooking at Cracker Barrel and they don't support us. If I want to grab a quick sandwich then New York Sub is a favorite.

greenminer · June 29, 2005

No question that when I visit Denton, I have to visit these places:

Hooya

Mr. Chopsticks

Sweetwater

Hooters was another great place for their beer/wings, but I wanted to stick with answers that are unique to Denton (in my experience; not sure if there are other Hooyas/SW's).

Cracker Barrel does support colleges in other locations with school merchandise in their gift shop, we need to get on them about NT.

I got on Cracker Barrell 2 years before about this in person and with emails to HQ, last football season they had NT hats, sweatshirts etc. Don't know about off season displays. Did you notice this recently?
