The Purple Frog is great! I've been coming here for years and they're really solid. The food is good, they have a well rounded menu with great prices (near TCU, so great for students). The service is always great and friendly. They have a wonderful dog friendly patio that is heated in the winter. Overall, great and I'll be back! read more

There is a waitress there named Celeste that is one of the rudest waitresses I have ever encountered. She literally cussed me out after I asked why I have not been served a beverage. I honestly think it is the most offensive moments I've had at a restaurant. I was a regular but the new management does not care how the employees treat the customers. I would avoid this place at all cost. read more

"The Frog used to be my favorite place to invite friends and enjoy the ambience of University Circle, but under its new management, it's anything but what it once was. If you're looking for a cold beer, you've found the place--but that's it. If the televisions are working, you might get to see a game, but don't depend on it. Lastly, the new menu boasts 'gourmet-esque' food that's overpriced, overhyped, and far beyond their capabilities. However, if powdered queso and stale chips are your jam, go for it. What was once a source of pride to share with friends and family is now nothing but a disappointing failure--a bar/restaurant suffering from a catastrophic identity crisis. My advice: keep the new name so that no one mistakes this place for what it used to be." read more

Of all things a purple Frog... yep that's right TCU!! So I'm not in college nor did I go to TCU however I love the area... this place has the absolute best crawfish and they let you get mushrooms instead of the other sides. So I'm all in. The flavor is the best. Hot and juicy!! I've been a few times. Always have great service and all the hellos and goodbyes. The crowd is often entertaining just because the college kids start having all the fun. I love seeing them enjoy themselves, make the atmosphere of the place even better!!

If you are a Tcu student do not come here. I have never felt so disrespected as I did tonight. My friends and I showed up after the senior bar crawl sober mind you, for a drink and entree. We immediately met with a sassy hostess who clearly did not want to seat us. Before we even asked about entry she told us it would be a 30 minute wait although there were multiple tables inside and outside. She then took it upon herself to deny us our skinny margaritas despite being over the age of 21. Very unfortunate considering the Tuesday/Thursday staff is so wonderful. I was very surprised by this and won't be coming back. read more

Me thinks not sir! For $22 I got this shrimp broil with lackluster flavor and undercooked broccoli. you'd think they would pile that sucker with the good stuff but instead I was given two potatoes and only half a corn. A sausage and a generous amount of shrimp. Bad thing is the sausage was bland the shrimp wasn't clean. It still had its poop attached when removing the shell. I ended up tossing the rest in the trash because it didn't have any sauce it was just sprinkled with seasoning and it came with butter and cocktail sauce. read more

We've been coming to this restaurant for several years now and always been more than satisfied with the food and service. We were surprised to find out on our latest visit, that this restaurant is now under new ownership. Pretty much the same menu however. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon so we sat outside on their patio. Unfortunately, we were not as satisfied on this visit. The food was definitely not as good as in the past and the service was pretty sad. Unfortunately, they did not have near enough servers, based on the crowd, and the beautiful weather. They were trying but unfortunately not succeeding. We waited a long time to get our food, which as previously mentioned was not as good. Tables were not being bused so people were sitting at dirty tables. Simply not a good atmosphere and I doubt we will be back for quite sometime. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I was skeptical at first because I don't usually do the Tcu scene with all the frat boys, but it was good! I am a huge crawfish person, and it's hard to impress me, but these were okay! They weren't bad! The heads still weren't juicy enough for me but like I said I'm a hard sell. What I REALLY enjoyed was the spicy corn nuggets! Omg I didn't know I needed those in my life but I so did. Our waitress was really friendly and efficient as well. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I will go back. Oh yeah, I could pass on the shrimp cocktail (forgot to take a pic) it was Mexican style and too much for me. I prefer the traditional version myself. read more

This is a great bar and grill with one of the most expansive menus I have ever seen. If you cannot find something you like at the Purple Frog, then you are not hungry. It is a bar and grill, so we are not talking about high-end exceptional cuisine, but every item we have had there has been delicious. It is also a very good value. The outdoor patio is nice and is dog friendly. Brisket tacos, any burger, the crabcakes, and all of the grilled items are quite good. Great fries and onion rings, plus an excellent beer selection. read more

It's one of those places I go to during the day, on the weekend, when the weather is nice, and I'm out riding. Stop in, have one or two beers, then away I go. Not much of a crowd when I go, but the bar cat is there sleeping on a bar stool and will let you pet it on your way to the bathroom. Friendly bartender, even if you're a newbie nobody. Appears to be a "everyone likes everyone" kind of place. Digital juke box, which I'm always a fan of and will usually play something inappropriate for the setting. I like it, will return on occasion.

We hopped in on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet but we enjoyed having control of the juke box. The bartender was nice and chatted with us for a while. This place seems to have activities scheduled for everyday with shows, live music, and pop up events. Kids are welcome during the day but must be out by a certain time. They do have outdoor games and plenty of seating to keep all ages entertained. I give 4 stars as there is no food offering outside of food trucks scheduled here and there. I have read though that you can have food delivered. Nice little spot!

It has this local small town dive bar feel that is welcoming. My go to drink is Bulleit Old Fashions but normally they are made way too sweet and sugary. The bartender here made it perfect. Little simple syrup so it tasted like a drink, not a sugary cocktail. My friend tried their Mexican food from the kitchen and we're also impressed by the quality of food. But beyond the food and drink it was the welcoming environment we appreciated and had we not had a concert to attend we would've stayed longer. We will return soon

The little extras they provide are a welcome addition and are truly incredible in their own right, from the glass of champagne, to the little round crispy appetizer ball thingy (I'm not even sure what it is but it's wonderful) with the accompanying aioli, to the delicate and airy popovers; what a beginning to each meal! I started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh, crisp and the dressing was subtle but authentic. I then varied from tradition and ordered the sea bass for my entree. Oh my what a treat! Perfectly cooked and paired well with the basmati rice and curry sauce. Lastly, the chocolate tart was so rich and delicious; a perfect ending to a great meal. Our waitress was very attentive yet personable and two different gentlemen came by to ensure our meal and experience was perfect. We have always enjoyed our experience here and the food is delicious!

Let me just give a special shoutout to the service in particular. I have not had such a good set of servers (from front of house to bartenders to waitresses) in a very long time. They were excellent. The food was also very good. However, to be honest, the steak was under-seasoned and a little on the tough side. I bought a 12-once ribeye and we split the 32-ounce tomahawk steak. Visually, stunning. But the ribeye was certainly on the tougher side and both steaks needed salt. Overall, really good experience - but I was expecting better flavor from the star dishes. Nonetheless, still would recommend.

Nonetheless, I truly do feel that Rodeo Goat does it differently. Came here after work with some friends. There's quite an assortment of creative options. I opted for the Hot Bastard. To make it even more interesting, I got it with the Impossible Patty (per recommendation). Now, upon first bite, there's not an immediate heat. However, it slowly creeps up. It creeps up to the point where you do find yourself looking for a glass of water or just anything to help settle the heat. That's what I loved the most about this burger. Maybe it was the fresno peppers. Maybe it was the habanero cheddar. Whatever it was, I loved it. Now, in terms of the patty, I thought it was great quality. I haven't tried their beef patties to use as a comparison but I still enjoyed the burger very much with the impossible patty. Only qualm about it was that the patty did give way about halfway through. Though, I find that's on par with a good messy burger. Overall, would come again, especially with the immense variety. The next time, I will definitely look to try the Radio Goat - every purchase supports KERA, the local NPR station!

There are lots of burger options to choose from, so there's something for just about everyone. One suggestion would be to add a dedicated toppings section to the menu. When building your own burger, it's difficult to know all of the available topping choices. The only downside to our visit was that there was a very large dog dining inside the restaurant. The staff allowed the dog's water bowl to be placed on the table, and while the dog remained on a leash, several employees stopped to pet it before returning to refill drinks, deliver food, or check on guests. That wasn't something I was comfortable with and took away from an otherwise enjoyable dining experience.

We ordered the shrimp shumai, hot oil wontons, and crispy shrimp balls for our appetizers as well which were all very good. For entrees we ordered General Tso's chicken and Mongolian beef but the Mongolian beef came out tasting unusually sweet so we informed the waitress and she replaced it with a different entree the longhorn beef and peppers which was really good, a few minutes later the manager came to the table and asked about the Mongolian beef and let us know that she had them remake it, she brought it back out to the table and this time it was done perfectly with a good amount of spice and no sweetness we were also able to keep all three entrees which was cool and she took the Mongolian beef off of our check which we very much appreciated. Overall Teddy Wong's is highly recommended by this yelper and I must try for anyone that loves great food and service! We'll definitely be back!

I've been going to The Purple Frog Restaurant on and off for a while and have seen it grow quite a bit. Every time I go in I see something new. It is a great environment with great food. I haven't had any reason to stop going back. Food is always great and the staff is always welcoming and friendly! Our favorite food on menu right now is the shrimp macaroni and cheese. Also the bacon wrapped jalapenos are awesome! It's a great place to have dinner with the family or to just have some drinks and watch sports. I recommend checking out their FB page as they are always doing something different from live music, to karaoke, to game night. We love The Purple Frog and we'll be going back soon! read more

Was recently in, Im a big fan of some tasty nachos so i ordered the Super Nachos. Awesome nachos, could say they are super de duper! My bartender was Kayla, she is great! I don't go to a bar to really talk to the servers I go for the food, drinks and atmosphere and I enjoy every visit I get when I go here. Kayla was very attentive and took care of me whether I needed another drink or more napkins because I'm a slob. If I were to open a bar I would want her to work for me. I'm glad the weather is nice so I can enjoy the patio! read more

Relaxing evening with some friends. We enjoyed our Green Beer and Mimosas on the patio for St Patty's day! Staff was attentive and helped us try some of their personal favorite appetizers. The "Dirty Balls" were actually mini crab cakes full of crab meat and the Spinach dip was tasty. The fried shrimp and catfish platter was huge. The patio was full but we were lucky enough to have beat the crowd. read more

I've considered visiting Michael's for years, but did not finally pull the trigger until last week…read more We visited on a Friday shortly after 11:00. The restaurant has an old school ambiance. It is rather sparsely decorated with bare wood tables. During our visit only one other table, maybe two by the time we left, was occupied. The restaurant purports to make the popular Mac's salad from back in the day so I was looking forward to seeing if when I tasted it, it would be familiar to me after what, thirty-five or forty years? It was not but it was quite enjoyable though rather smallish we thought for $14. We decided to share the chicken fried steak. One has the option of a small or a large portion. We went with the large which consisted of two pieces of steak perfectly sized for us, mashed potatoes and Italian style green beans. The crisp and tastily seasoned breading on the CFS was really, really good as was the chipotle-black pepper cream gravy that accompanied it. I requested more and our very pleasant and efficient young served promptly delivered it to the table. The Italian cut green beans were Southern cooking nirvana. So good! Out front there is a oak shaded patio/deck that would be so enjoyable in pleasant weather. Well, definitely visit again, probably this fall to enjoy a meal on the deck.

Yesterday I had the fried catfish with fried okra, hush puppies and fries.. The fish was brined which made it delicious. I don't eat fries so maybe next time he has this special I'll get extra okra. Tonight I had the crawfish. It was delicious. Not pre-cooked like most restaurants. And the presentation inside newspaper was special. If you're not a catfish or crawfish kind of person, they do have some of the best beef sliders I've ever had. But the gem of this restaurant is their bartender and fireplace. One of the only a few places in town.
