Best Diners in Denton

"If a pile of fried chicken and bacon stacked on top of Belgium waffles sounds to you like the ideal way to kick start your morning, read on. This old school diner cranks out an extensive repertoire of every type of Canadian comfort fare imaginable– which means you'll see plenty of Canadian bacon and poutine (french fries smothered with melting cheese curds and brown gravy) along with burgers, sandwiches and even fish & chips. But the place really goes all out when it comes to breakfast with options covering everything from potato pancakes & eggs to Greek omelets, smoked salmon Benedict and chicken fried chicken with eggs."

"This Canadian-style diner (yes, that’s a thing, and it’s a great thing) is a must when you’re craving comfort food. Choose from four styles of poutine, including a beloved chicken fried steak variety, with hand-cut fries, cheese curds, gravy, and chives. Other favorites include chicken parmigiana, “steak waffles,” and even a “pizza burger.” Opt for contactless curbside delivery, if you like."

"North Dallas's Maple Leaf Diner, located at 12817 Preston Road, Suite 129, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the traditional American diner 4.5 stars out of 1,730 reviews."

"On a list of beautiful places to dine, a nearly 40-year-old Chinese restaurant seems an unlikely entry. Yet this mainstay of Cantonese and Mandarin cuisine in a strip center near Addison’s restaurant row absolutely belongs on this list. In May Dragon’s main dining room, wooden-lattice room dividers and painted murals bring traditional elements of Chinese design into the space alongside deep red leather booths and black-laquered round tables."

"If you want to be transported back to the ’50s, look no further than The Diner in Farmer’s Branch. This kitschy spot has been a neighborhood favorite for over 25 years, and is committed to serving up home-style favorites, such as cornbread and chicken fried steak. Grab a spot in one of their red booths and let the retro vibes wash over you."

"Maybe your idea of fun involves spreadsheets and lists, but when you’ve made enough decisions for the day, go to Zoli’s, where all you have to answer is square or circle. And if even that’s too much, know that the thinner crust on the New York-style, round pizzas is the way to go. The Lady Marmalade - cheese pizza with soppressata marmalade - and the Christian Pescroni with double pepperoni and jalapeno pesto are two of the best, and while Brussels sprouts might not be the first thing you associate with pizza night, here they’re covered in bacon marmalade, called Lil B*stards, and are a must order."

"Dallas’s best New York style pizzeria branched out into Detroit-style pies during the pandemic with a pop-up called Thunderbird Pies, and these thick-crusted, cheesy pizzas became an instant hit. Keep it simple with the Budd, simply topped with tons of cheese and fresh basil, or try the famed Honey Bastard. And of course, there’s still Zoli’s iconic thin-crust pies, topped with perfect pepperoni cups, Italian sausage, and so much more."

"Bishop ArtsWhat you’re getting: Slice of hot soppressata, $3Bringing a little New York-style pie right here to Dallas, Zoli’s makes different pizzas daily that they drop into their display case. Like any good Samaritan, you would hate for that pizza to have to sit in that case all by itself, so alone, so afraid, so you free it and give it a good home, your belly. It’s cheesy, greasy, and topped with plenty of spicy cured pig."

"For top-notch wontons, noodles and other Taiwanese specialties, look no further than Wu Wei Din, a buzzy little eatery in Plano that's known for serving huge portions at ultra-reasonable prices. In fact, most everything on the menu is priced around $10 or less. We're talking spicy pork & shrimp wontons, braised beef noodle soup, dan dan noodles and pork chop fried rice alongside preserved eggs, scallion pancakes, golden kimchi and ma-po tofu."

"Serving Chinese and Taiwanese food, Wu Wei Din Chinese is beloved for its fresh noodles, soup dumplings, noodle soup and more. Note: Wu Wei Din is open for takeout and delivery only for now."
