Foodie Friday: Lesser Known (But Amazing) Places to Eat 🍔 🌮🍺 🍷
At the risk of making some of our favorite spots more crowded, here are some of the lesser known places to eat that have amazing food. Enjoy!
Giuseppe’s | 821 N. Locust St. in Denton | Tucked away on a side street in Denton, don’t be fooled just because it looks like a rundown old house. This place has amazing Italian food. The fettuccini alfredo, caprese, salmone fumicato…are all spectacular! Perfect for date night with its quiet ambiance and upscale menu.
RG Burgers & Grill | 2430 S. I-35E in Denton | Looking for a greasy burger? Then head on over to this popular (but often forgotten because it’s tucked away) burger joint that’s been around since 2007. I have a lot of favorites but if I had to choose just one I’d pick the RG’s Spicy All Star Burger.
Marty B’s | 2664 FM 407 in Bartonville | Marty B's offers a modern ranch-style dining experience that captures the essence of the Texas Hill Country. Guests can enjoy a diverse menu featuring smoked brisket, Tex-Mex favorites, and inventive cocktails, all within a lively atmosphere that includes live music, rooftop seating, and community fire pits for s'mores and storytelling. Nothing on the menu is bad so you're safe for any recommendations!
