On-Campus

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:

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
  • Aura Coffee
    • A nice study cafe close to campus

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.
