Placing a to-go order on their website was really easy and was ready, when they said it would, right when I walked in. I was anxious to open up and devour my sandwich. The bread was soft and looked good, the sandwich tasted good, but that's where it ended. At first glance I thought they'd forgotten to put turkey on my sandwich. I had to open it up and really look to see two very thin slices of turkey were indeed there - see the photos. They were the thinnest slices I've seen on a sandwich and I barely tasted them. This was a bait and switch for sure. The images show a hearty portion of meat, but in reality the sandwiches are all bread. The cookies was soft and tasted fine. Nothing special. I will not be back, but glad I tried something new

We tried a little bit of everything, including the Deli News Breakfast Feast with both challah French toast and pancakes, Corned Beef Hash & Eggs, and the Two Egg Plate with bacon, a toasted bagel, cream cheese, and hash browns. The challah French toast was especially good, thick, hearty, and exactly what you want with a traditional breakfast. The pancakes were also solid, and the corned beef hash had that rich, savory deli flavor that makes it stand out from a typical breakfast plate. The eggs, hash browns, bagel, and bacon rounded everything out nicely. Overall, Deli News Frisco is a great place when you want a substantial, traditional breakfast without anything overly complicated. Good portions, plenty of variety, and the kind of breakfast that leaves everyone satisfied.

My favorite soup is the hodgepodge but the matzo ball did not have a good flavor at this location. This location is not a sit at the table style restaurant but rather order at the counter and get a number. The service is good and employees are nice. I still recommend going to the Preston & Campbell location in Far North Dallas for a better experience I'd say that location is a 5 Star experience.

It was unique that it came with sourdough instead of english muffin. Overall the egg benedict was alright. The sourdough gave the dish a sour taste. I didn't like the salad that it came with & some of the leaves weren't fresh. For my drink, I got the aussie iced coffee & it's nothing special. It's pretty much an affogato & tasted just like milk. I also tried the T.A.G big breaky. It wasn't as big as I would expected & it was a little overpriced for the amount you get. The sausage was very dry & overcooked, but everything else was good.

Fast-casual Italian food sounds like it should be right up my alley because I LOVE Italian food! For some reason though, every time I give Piada another chance, I end up feeling a little underwhelmed. This visit was pretty much the same. We ordered the carbonara, the tomato pasta, and one of their pizza rolls, and unfortunately none of them really stood out. Both pastas were just okay and didn't have nearly as much flavor as I was hoping for, and the pizza roll was honestly my least favorite part of the meal. I just didn't think the flavor was all that great. I also think it's a little overpriced for what you're getting. At the end of the day, it's essentially fast-casual pasta, and I left feeling like the quality and flavor didn't quite justify the price. Overall, I still think Piada has a really fun concept, and I honestly wish I liked it more because I keep wanting it to be good. Unfortunately, after giving it multiple chances over the years, I still leave feeling the same way. I'd probably choose a local Italian spot instead if I'm really craving pasta.

Dave's Hot Chicken is always a reliable choice when you want something bold and satisfying. The chicken comes out perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with seasoning that brings a lot of flavor to every bite. The medium spice level is the sweet spot, giving you a nice kick while still letting you really enjoy the taste of the chicken. The atmosphere is upbeat and casual, making it an easy place to stop in for a quick meal. The staff were welcoming and the service was quick, which made the whole visit a great experience. read more

So I don't quite know what the world's obsession is with chicken all of the sudden. It feels like every where I turn there is a new chicken place. I guess it all started with Chick Fil A? But, my wife and I met some friends last weekend who were raving about this Dave's Hot Chicken. So, they talked us into going there. I was thinking I'd be in for the same old breaded chicken. or Buffalo style, whatever. Holy Smokes!! This place is amazing. What do they put on that chicken. Love this place. read more
