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

On-Campus[edit | edit source]

Dining Halls[edit | edit source]

The general saying goes, "the further away from McConnell, the better the food". (with the exception of Kitchen West; just speaking frankly)

  • Bruce Hall (Bruceteria) - a 15 second sprint from McConnell
  • West Hall - a 5 minute walk from McConnell
  • Eagle Landing - a 9 minute walk from McConnell
  • Maple Hall (Mean Greens) - a 7 minute walk from McConnell
  • Victory Hall (Champs) - a 30 minute walk from McConnell (one can also take the bus).

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.

Off-Campus[edit | edit source]

Denton Square[edit | edit source]

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.
    • Highly recommend going at least once! They only take cash and one (big) donut is $5
  • Thai Square
  • Cartwright's Ranch House

Fry Street[edit | edit source]

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
  • Slap Burger
    • Recently opened up (Fall 2022). Really good but the cholesterol is going straight to your arteries.

Razor Ranch/University Drive[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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.
  • 3 Aguilas Taqueria
    • Seemingly sussy taqueria in a gas station but hey, the grande loco burrito is only $8.75 during these inflationary times ... It's gas though - James.
