    Cheese burger
    Andrew M.

    I generally find myself delighted by divish bars. RTs really isn't a dive bar. But I wish it was. Great friendly staff. Reasonable selection of drafts. Covid-19 menu is a bit slim on the options, but the cheese burger was seasoned and cooked well. I recommend it even after it being my first visit.

    This is not just your typical little dive bar! We came in here for the Quest for the Best- Dos Equis edition and stayed way too long. The beers were cold, glasses cold, lime was juicy and delicious and they dressed up like a pretty little maiden with a great salty rimmer. My ONLY complaint was they didn't have any tajin, which I'm still shocked about. The bar food was GREAT!! Fried pickles and a kickass burger!! Here was the kicker....the staff was awesome!!! And the music was GREAT!! This alone was why we couldn't leave. Yep- we will be back. GREAT BAR!! (No kids allowed!

    Let's just be honest here...no one truly goes to Denton for fine dining. That being said, Denton is DEFINITELY a good place to go for inexpensive, yet very tasty food (as most university towns are.) RT's continues this Denton tradition. I've been multiple times for libations and eaten here twice. The first time I partook in the steak finger basket. At the first bite, you know you aren't eating a frozen steak finger, these are definitely made in house with high quality meat. The chips. Oooooh the chips. I highly recommend them. Thinly sliced potatoes cooked to perfection, you can't go wrong. On my most recent visit, I discovered the greatness that is the Chicken Bacon Swiss burger. If you've ever had Chili's Grilled Chicken Sandwich and enjoy it, you HAVE to try this sandwich. It puts Chili's to a complete and utter shame. I think this may have been the most perfectly cooked chicken breast I've ever had. They put it on a fresh baked bun with (perfectly cooked of course) bacon, Swiss cheese, honey mustard and topped with lettuce, onion and tomato. Again, served with RT's chips. Have it with the adult beverage of your choice and go home happy. They were close to be a 5-star but the onion rings have left a lot to be desired. I'm a huge onion ring fan and theirs were good but VERY greasy. Now we all know onion rings are supposed to be a bit greasy but the grease overpowered the O ring. After my first visit I chalked it up to a bad night but after my second visit, they've failed to improve. But that's okay because the chips kick their ass anyways. Oh and I recommend sitting outside too. Even when it was 48 degrees we still enjoyed the patio.

    I must say I was very impressed. The crowd was cool and the people were welcoming. My husband and I just wanted to play some pool so I'm glad we ended up here. The lemon pepper wings and fried mushrooms are to die for lol. They were awesome and I order 2 of the mushrooms . The prices are very descent the drinks were not watered down . The place was clean and upbeat we would definitely be coming back again with friends.

    My wife and I have been coming to RT's for the past year since moving to Denton. We were looking a local sports bar to hang out at. When we first started going there it was a smoking bar. In the past 6 months they have banned smoking and smokers have to go outside. There is plenty of parking even on busy days. The really large L shaped bar has many seats. Around the bar is two huge TV's surrounded by many smaller TV's. The sound is excellent for a big game, or when the jukebox is on. There is also a nice patio that seats a lot more people and has TV's. There are plenty of tables. There is a side room with a comfy couch and another big screen TV. There are 5 pool tables (you'll need quarters), a couple of dart boards, golf game, basketball game, jukebox, two bar games. You can also go out on the patio, and play a game of bags. Most of the staff are awesome and the bartenders are knowledgeable at making mixed drinks. They really take care of you and treat you right. Great drink specials. On Fridays they have $3 double wells and $2 domestic pints. There are many beers on tap including some local breweries like Audacity. The food is excellent for bar food. Best bar food I have ever had. They make everything but the tator tots fresh daily. The homemade potato chips, onion rings, jalapeño poppers and fried pickles are really good. My favorite basket is the buffalo chicken basket. You can tell its fresh chicken breast, and sauce has a nice kick. Large portion size too. The lemon pepper wings are really good as well. If you are in the mood for a burger, you can't go wrong with any of them. I took a star off, because the bathrooms aren't the cleanest all the time. They need to address that. Great local bar, great prices and drink specials. I have come back many times and will continue to.

Foozball, pool, basketball, video games. HUGE TV to catch the game, in addition to all the other regular TVs in the place. Super friendly and sweet bartender!

We had reserved a high-top table, but there was no table service, so we had to stand in line at the bar to order our drinks. We later returned to the bar to order food, then waited over an hour and a half for it to arrive. Our order consisted of only five meatballs with sauce and one breadstick, despite the menu listing breadsticks. That wait was completely unreasonable, especially for such a simple bar-food order. The bathroom also had no paper towels in the dispenser. Jack's Tavern clearly needs more staff. We understand that a busy Saturday night with a live band can be challenging, but the service and wait times were unacceptable. Unfortunately, this experience was enough for us to decide that we will not be returning.

    This is an awesome little watering hole on good ole' Fry St…read more Just north of dude bro and frat boy central and just south of the Hipsterville bars on Hickory St. The crowd is probably one of the most diverse on the block. You never know what kind of night it will be here as the live entertainment on the patio varies daily. They've got Open Mic night on Mondays, you might get comedy or awesome local musicians on the stage. As for the weekend sometimes there'll be solo country acts, sometimes more alternative acts, sometimes full bands, and they've got a pretty good set of DJ's that play Weds & Thurs weekly! Definitely a party vibe always. Inside there are 4 pool tables of which are the best you'll find on Fry. On Sundays and Tuesdays they have 8-Ball and 9-Ball tournaments wherein you can come try your luck against some steep billiards competition. The inside and patio sort of keep separate vibes going where the inside is dominated by the jukebox and the outside is up to the performer. The patio bar is nicely done compared to how it was only a year ago since they remodeled it in March. They have a 100 shot bar that has a bit of everything on it, it's fun to experiment but dangerous to stand at for too much experimentation! Be warned haha! All in all this my go to bar, happy hour has $6 pitchers of Miller Lite, not my favorite but for the price? And the nightly drink specials are usually pretty awesome. Wednesdays get wild as double wells are $1 but it's always a good time! There's a great following here and if you take the time to get to know the staff they're all great guys in their own right, treat them well and they will reciprocate accordingly! The only bad thing I'd say about the place is it can get a bit smokey at times but it's not usually intolerable, no better or worse than Cool Beans or Riprocks. Thumbs up Garage, keep doing what you're doing Fry St. Bar at its best.

When we first got there he only let us order one round of drinks before he cut us off because he said it would harm his job for reasons I am unsure. Then he proceeds to give us free drinks on his tab but heavily insisted that we tip. After 2 rounds of these drinks he is giving us we give him a nice tip each time but after the 2 drinks we notice that he has not been putting liquor in them and just been serving them off the books for easy tips. Very unprofessional and just a weird interaction.
