Very few people want to cook all the time, and most people need a night or two off from kitchen duty. Fortunately, these four great Denton restaurants for takeout and delivery can ensure you still have a delicious, hot meal on nights when no one wants to slave over the stove.
Red’s Yard
This family-owned and operated barbecue restaurant has been serving up Denton customers since 1989
and the food has definitely been perfected over that time. Barbecued meats are almost like a religion in Texas, so it takes a superior barbecue to impress its citizens. Red’s Yard has done more than just impress the people of Denton. It has become the go-to place for barbecue in the city.
Local favorites at Red’s Yard include the baby back ribs, hot wings, sliders, jalapeno cheddar sausage, grilled chicken, and pulled pork. However, there isn’t a bad option on the menu, and the only problem you may have is deciding what to try first. Don’t forget to grab some side dishes and appetizers as well, since the fried deviled eggs, Texas toothpicks (fried onion and jalapeno strips), fried zucchini, cowboy beans, potato salad, and homestyle fries perfectly complement any entree.
Killer’s Tacos
Tacos are the specialty at Killer’s Tacos, which prides itself on making all its salsas, sauces, and meats in-house. A great selection of tacos is on the menu, including the popular “Nice Rack of Street Tacos,” which is one of each of the restaurant’s street tacos for just $5.00. You can also get specialty tacos such as the Shellfish Desire, the Bermuda Barracuda, the Nature Muncher, and the Thai Me Down, among other favorites.
The tacos boast a lot of flavor, which also can mean a lot of spice, so be sure to tell the chefs if you want your tacos on the mild side. There are also at least three vegetarian taco options, so everyone can get something they like and can eat. The prices are amazing as well, especially given the large portion sizes. There are some side dishes such as beans, rice, and chips and queso, but the tacos are truly the main attraction.
The Taste
Authentic Korean food is on the menu at The Taste. Unlike many Asian restaurants, The Taste is not a fusion restaurant. It only prepares Korean dishes, which means it has perfected its menu. The location is not great because it is attached to a gas station, but don’t let that keep you from ordering the best Korean food in town for delivery or takeout.
Popular entrees among locals at The Taste include sizzling bibimbap, bulgogi beef, kimbap, Korean barbecue, short ribs, pork cutlet, and kimchi soup. You will get a huge portion of each dish for a low price, which means this is a popular eatery for people on a budget. You will definitely be able to get more than one meal out of an order.
Clara’s Kitchen
Clara’s Kitchen offers traditional comfort and soul food. Fried chicken, fried catfish, chopped beef, ribs, wings, and meatloaf are all favorite items of local diners. All food is handmade on-site, and you’ll feel the love that went into its preparation. The side dishes are incredible, so be sure to order some mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, hand-cut fries, and cornbread to go with your meal.
