    Fatty ribeye steaks
    Troy S.

    Over priced apps, fatty steaks, and apathetic management... was stuck at my Daughters dance comp and this was the hotel restaurant at Embassy Suites I. Denton.

    Seared Salmon Pesto
    Lucie N.

    FOOD - Korean Chicken - The gochujang sauce and pineapple give a nice sweetness to the brown rice. It's also a bit on the spicy side which enhance the flavor of the overall dish. The snow peas were cooked to where they were still crispy which was delicious! I got the chicken grilled and it was cooked beautifully (juicy and not dry!). - Seared Salmon Pesto - The spaghetti squash noodles had a sweeter flavor to it - super delicious and great crunchy texture. The chive pesto was really yummy. Not super salty like other pesto sauce that I've tried. - Salted Caramel Gooey Butter Cake - This cake was on the richer side. The cake was super moist and had great sweet, caramel flavor with the sauce. The ice cream on top balanced the sweetness and complemented the gooey warmness of the butter cake. Food was delicious overall and presentation was so pretty. Definitely would come back to this place. Flavor of everything was great, service was top-notch, and would definitely recommend! VIBES This Houlihans is inside the Embassy Hotel. It has darker lighting which give a nice ambiance. Food is decorated beautifully which give the place a lot more of an upscale casual type of vibe. SERVICE Service was phenomenal! Quick to order, checked in on us, was super friendly and just an overall pleasant experience.

    I had an absolute blast at Houlihans. It's connected to the beautiful embassy suites. My husband and I live so close and were able to get drinks and food even though they were closing within the hour. The bartenders stole the show- the girls were so friendly and nice and didn't rush us or make us feel bad which some would for coming in late. They made great recommendations, adjusted one drink that I wanted sweeter, and made my husband and I feel right at home- we had lots of good conversation and laughs even in that small amount of time. We will most definitely be back! I recommend the fried stuffed mushrooms- they have cream cheese in it which was unlike any dish I've had so so good! Thank you all for the warm welcome it's so appreciated!

    Located in an Embassy Suites, we found this hidden gem after a church service close by. It's well kept and this Sunday afternoon it was not too busy at all. Very clean and servers are dressed up nicely. We were given a nice greeting, which you might expect at a hotel restaurant. This is a very sneaky day to go I think because the appetizers are only $5, so if you're looking for a place to catch some games, they have a bar area. Not really huge TVs but pretty good food that you can order throughout the game I would think. We ordered the lettuce wraps, ahi tuna, and dumplings. All pretty good, and I mean if we would have stopped there it would have been 5-star. My wife had a birthday coupon for $15 off. They do have selections under $15 but that's mostly burgers/ salads/ sandwiches. The really interesting plates though, go about $18 and up form there. My daughter got the original potato soup loaded with bacon, scallions, and cheddar. Not just that it's over 90-degrees outside, but the soup is a bit on the gritty side. It's like if you had to put the baked potato in a blender and then drink it, but lukewarm. Not the best option, but for $6 not breaking the bank either. My wife ordered the Sedona pasta, fettuccine with tomato concasse, shrimp and butter sauce. Some spinach mixed in there also and overall good flavor for $17.99 (minus the $15 coupon for her birthday so it turned out to be a great value...lol). The focaccia bread made for a nice dipping tool in the sauce. I got the Rangoon inspired stuffed chicken upon the recommendation of the server, who I will say is about as nice a lady as could be with a good sense of humor. Her name is Joanna. The chicken was pretty awesome with Thai chili sauce over it and Rangoon cheese and scallions delightfully tucked inside. They top it off with a dumpling and it all works....except for the rice which kind of reminded me of Uncle Ben's. I think it might have needed a minute or two more...or just use steam rice instead. For $18.99, not bad but fix that rice and you'd have a real winner. I ended the meal the way I started, with two more apps... I mean hey for $5 why not??? Got another round of the char-crusted ahi tuna and the pan-friend dumplings. Just as good as the first round so good consistency. For sure hit this place on Sunday or happy hour times and the value is built in. Our bill came to $68 after tax and less the coupon. Again happy hour value don't miss it! We figured in $85 to tip on before the coupon and left $17 for a job well done. Fantastic service, a little hit or miss on the food but some real winners in there. But if you go to this place outside of happy hour then you've missed the point!

    Meat loaf with mashed potatoes and green beans and gravy
    Missy S.

    One of the worst dining experiences of all time. The staff seemed unamused from the beginning. I visited the location at around 7:45pm , with reservations. The hostess seemed engulfed in other matters so there was a delay in greeting me and my guest upon arrival. We had to wait while the hostess bussed the table. Our server "Jeremy" approached the table but seemed to be in a rush to get back to the private party he was serving in the banquet room. We place our drink and appetizer order, and Jeremy disappeared. We received the appetizer but no drinks, Jeremy then reappears looks over at our table and continues on his way.. I had to ask someone else about our drinks in order to get drinks. Of course, Jeremy is off tending to his " more worthy guest" , I flag him down to inquire about placing our entrees order. I should have probably left after the appetizer and drinks, but figured things would get better... boy was I wrong. Jeremy takes the order and disappears again until we were midway through the meal with empty glasses and still didn't offer a refill until he was prompted by us. All in all Jeremy's poor hospitality robbed us of the dining experience!!! Food The lemon pepper wings were decent with the exception of two sickly pieces that were set aside. The spicy chicken egg rolls seemed to be old and refried, making them overly fried on the outside but a soggy undercooked mess in the middle. The meat loaf was the only dish well presented. All in all the experience was a bust. The location is staffed with a younger group whom prefer to indulge in the latest gossip within earshot of the dining experience. At least they shared the same sentiment about Jeremy's lackluster performance amongst themselves.

    Dined here for my 3 year anniversary and everything was amazing! Big shoutout to Agata, out lovely server:) All her reccomendations were amazing, she had a lovely personality, and delightful conversation as well! Beautiful ambiance as well. 5/5 stars!!!

    Korean Chicken
    Ralph B.

    Houlihan's was a great surprise Haven't eaten at a Houlihan's in probably 30 years. When we discovered this one we just had to check infor old times sake. What a great surprise. It is connected to the Embassy Suites hotel, which does give it a bit of a hotel feel. Still, it was worth it as a local to stop in. I always remember these places as being great eclectic food and drink, and it still is. My wife and I started with creative drinks (Pink Elephant and Grapefruit Jalapeño) which we quite good. My wife then had the excellent Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings and the French Onion Soup. I had the soup as well and for my main had the Korean Chicken. The flavor on the Korean Chicken was amazing. Just the right mix of spice and flavor. Different than anything I have had. We closed with the special Sticky Butter Cake offering. They hit it right on and St. Lois would be proud. If it had a bit less of a hotel vib, I would rate it 5, but instead I am giving a 4.

My favorites are the Rooster Tails (fried onions) and the chips and queso, but the real stars of the menu are the burgers. They're always fresh, hot, and juicy. The free peanuts are a nice touch, and they offer daily specials as well. I really miss the Bloody Mary bar, which was always a lot of fun, but their Sunday special makes up for it with a generous double for just $7. There's always a game on TV, which is a welcome break when you've had enough politics to last a lifetime. The servers and bartenders are consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. And whatever you do, don't forget to ask about the Yahtzee Roll at the bar. If you know, you know!

There's a full bar on both floors as well. The staff was pretty attentive, but the wait for food took a long time. I was happy the cocktails came pretty quickly and were well-made. The food was all pretty good for the most part not wowed but good! I have no complaints about my plate; it came with a great portion of food and was reasonably priced for BBQ. I ordered pulled pork and a side of corn and tomato salad and coleslaw. The sides were different from what I've had before, but I did enjoy them. Their coleslaw is more vinegar than mayo-forward. The pulled pork was well-seasoned, and the side of BBQ was the perfect match. My margarita tasted as if they made the mix in-house, and I prefer this. Store-bought mixers are usually either too sweet or too sour. However, if it is store-bought, I'm impressed! This was not a sweet margarita. My partner went for the Tennessee Texas Hot Sandwich; I did try it. There was hardly any heat despite it being their spicy chicken sandwich. I'm not sure if they make their chips in house but it seemed so.

    A Truly Special Birthday Experience…read more We visited this restaurant to celebrate my son's 16th birthday with a large table of nine, and it turned out to be an incredibly special experience. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every steak was cooked to perfection, and every one of the boys said it was one of the best meals they had ever had. The Wagyu steak was particularly memorable--one of the boys actually had tears in his eyes because of how incredible it tasted! The service was exceptional as well. The owner Rick personally came out to greet our table, which made the evening feel very personal and welcoming. The highlight for the boys was when Chef Anton came out with a special palate cleanser featuring house-made sorbet paired with goat cheese and pistachios. It was such a thoughtful and unique touch. The boys were so impressed with Chef Anton that they asked to take a picture with him afterward. From the incredible food to the warm hospitality and those unexpected special touches, this was so much more than just a dinner. It was a memorable experience that made my son's 16th birthday truly special. We are so grateful and will definitely be back!
