    Chicken fried steak, fries, salad, and toast was really good.
    Gary R.

    Super fast friendly service and great food. The waitress was really fast and did not let our drinks get low even though she was busy. We will definitely be returning.

    frozen margarita - the best!! $6.75

    "City Limits" - Bryce Mauldin You know a place is good when there's a lot of cars in the parking lot, and when you enter, there's a lot of locals sitting in the place. The reviews said this place was very friendly and a great value for food, the reviews were correct. It's not fancy in any means, but who cares when you want a good, solid, square meal and some frosty chilled strong margaritas for $6.75? Grilled Fish Fillets: $16.95 Super flavorful white fish fillets in a herbed butter sauce - flakey and tender. A huge amount of fries and buttered toast on the side, a bonus: grilled lemon. Salad also included. Chicken Fried Steak: $13.95 Chicken fried steak smothered in country gravy, side of fries and buttered toast and a salad. The highlight was the margaritas - SO GOOD. They sure do know how to make them in Texas! Return factor: 100%. I'm still salivating over the buttery fish and the cold, tasty margaritas!

    Food was alright for the price, lots of people but lots of places to sit. Friendly and attentive service.

    This place gets busy so arrive early. They have lots of seating inside but it gets packed fast! As everyone has said the wait staff are absolutely amazing!! The off menu enchiladas are amazing! Just ask for them. This place is an icon!

    Jan C.

    This is a busy place, but despite the crowds service is fast and friendly. Their chicken fried steak has great taste, good gravy and nice flavors in the meat. The coating is nice and crispy. The only negative is that they don't have mashed potatoes, only fries and those are kind of greasy . The serving size is plenty big. It comes with a side salad that is just lettuce with a tomato slice The menu has decent options.

    Tastless food. No seasoning on their fries or burgers. Chicken had no flavor. Waste of time when you're looking for good food.

    Great food and great atmosphere... Only thing I've ever had I didn't like was the grilled chicken sandwich. It was really really dry.

    Was visiting a friend in Denison a couple weekends ago, and for a small town, I was honestly…read moresurprised to find this hidden gem. The bar is super cozy at night, and the holiday lights really add to the overall ambiance, cool vibes all around. I didn't stay to dine-in and ordered out instead, but I could easily see myself sitting here playing cards with friends. The pizza was VERY good, and the summertime berry salad was even better (now goes by Strawberry Pecan Salad). Two days later, my friends and I were hungry and couldn't stop thinking about this pizza and salad. So we ordered out again mid day. This time we got a full salad, added chicken, and asked for extra toppings and dressing. Definitely ask for extra, especially if you're sharing, because the normal amount isn't quite enough. I'm a culinary dietitian and meant to ask for their ranch recipe, but totally forgot. Ughhh!! So delicious though! There was a small mix-up with the second order and we had to drive back, but the customer service was great and it was no issue at all to fix. Highly recommend!!!

As a bonus, the pizza was excellent, too. Nice, fluffy crust and plenty of toppings. Definitely stop by if you're in town or driving through.

The entry is as though it's a restaurant, primarily, but to me I was still visiting a brewery regardless. Beer menu had a variety yet was too minimalist in info. Zero descriptions. (Pic) Tried Sherman Bock, Kilt Switch and Dubai Chocolate Stout. Sherman Bock was my fellow beer drinkers choice. A solid bock, easy drinking type for a broad section of people. Kilt Switch is a Wee Heavy Scotch Ale that is hidden and buried in the menu simply under Ambers. WhatTF?! It's a 2 time GABF medal winner (2025 Silver 2018 Bronze) and the taste of match! Why not highlight it!? 903? Easy drinking, which is dangerous at 10.5%, and one not to pass up if you like Scotch Ales. Dubai Chocolate Stout 9%. As pics show, zero description of beer or ingredients are offered. It was a good "special" Stout style. Bit sweet to me and reminiscent of winter choco/fruit stouts. Good in its category. Just not my preferred style. Side note: Menu has another unlabled GABF medal winner under stouts but no visitor would know unless they ask a lot of questions or are a beer nerd (me?).

I visited on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with my parents and sister. (Side note for Dallas residents: If you're familiar with the Katy Trail, it's worth the drive to see where it all began. When the Katy railroad tracks were removed in Dallas, the trail was born. While Denison doesn't have a trail today, the original depot remains, and it's a lovely place to explore.) The atmosphere at Stafford House is calm and refined, with deep burgundy tones, and brown leather accents lending it a warm, intimate feel. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. We started with the steak carpaccio appetizer, which was savory and full of flavor. For dinner, the ladies each had the Airline chicken with mushroom risotto, while my father and I ordered the lamb T-bones. I swapped the vegetable medley for sweet potato grits, which were decent but lacked any noticeable sweet potato flavor. Definitely put Stafford House on your must-visit list. It's a beautiful little spot for a quiet, intimate dinner. And don't miss their adjacent bar--it's equally charming and perfect for a pre- or post-dinner cocktai
