There are a lot of places to dine on and off campus.

On-Campus

Dining Halls

The general saying goes, "the further away from McConnell, the better the food".

Bruce Hall (Bruceteria) - a 15 second sprint from McConnell
Maple Hall (Mean Greens) - an 8-minute walk from McConnell
West Hall - a 2-minute walk from McConnell
Kerr Hall - a 9-minute walk from McConnell
Victory Hall (Champs) - a 30-minute walk from McConnell (one can also take the bus).
Eagle Landings - a 9-minute walk from McConnell

Of course, there also exists a "perk grill" and a "perk market" at the Discovery Park. Meal plans unfortunately don't apply there, but the grill cheese and chicken quesadilla will not disappoint you.

Retail Restaurants

Retail restaurants take flex, a currency solely used at on-campus retail restaurants. These can be found at the Union.

- Which Wich
- Scrappy's Ice Cream
Fast food

Campus Chat Food Court
- Deli
- Chopt
- Mia's Pizza
- Sauté

- Flattop Grill

Off-Campus

Denton Square

Denton Square has a lot of nice restaurants for students to visit. Flex cannot be used at these restaurants. Some favorites/notable restaurants include:

LSA Burger
Beth Marie's
- Homemade ice cream. Due to its high quality, TAMS students in the past have nicknamed the small shop "Best Marie's."
Back Dough
- Doughnuts made from leftover Queenie's Steakhouse bread dough. Usually opens at 11PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
Thai Square
Cartwright's Ranch House

Fry Street

Fry Street is located north-east of McConnell Hall. This area is full of restaurants and bars. Due to the latter, Fry Street becomes off-limits after 9PM. Some favorites/notable restaurants include:

Chipotle
Insomnia Cookies
- One (1) free cookie on Halloween if you wear a costume or May 1st (2019) if you presented a college/TAMS acceptance letter
Aura Coffee
- A nice study café close to campus. The coffee? Maybe not so nice, but that's up to you to decide.
Crooked Crust
Cool Beans

Razor Ranch/University Drive

Razor Ranch is the place to go if you're craving boba. Because this plaza is rather far from the main UNT campus, students need a vehicle (AKA leeching off seniors with cars or gathering a group of five to use a TAMS Van) to travel to this sacred place.

Miscellaneous

There are some nearby restaurants not on Fry street or in Denton Square. Some favorites/notable restaurants include:

The Taste
- Korean food. Not as good as Carrollton but passable. Located near West Dining Hall (on the west side of campus).
Oriental Garden (OG)
- Amazing Thai food. A cute little restaurant just outside UNT campus to the north, next to Jack-in-the-Box and across the street from CVS.
Hanabi Ramen
- Industrial-style place with blonde-wood seating for a variety of ramen, along with Japanese dishes. Slightly farther away from campus, near Denton Square.
Jack-in-the-Box
- Across the street from CVS, next to Oriental Garden. Looked pretty rundown during Summer O 2019.
