Andersons Eatery and Distillery

"I usually don’t leave one star reviews but my experience last night 3/2/2024 was honestly just awful. Called ahead with a large party of 12/14 for 7pm dinner time. Most of the party arrived at once, and the last four arrived in pairs of two (all couples) When each new couple arrived the server did not come and acknowledge them and get them drinks, we had to flag them down like we were at a busy bar (when we were the only table our server had assigned) We didn’t get silverware or napkins, which is usually what you drop on the table as soon as new people arrive. One of our husbands had to get up and get silverware and napkins each time new food got to the table (also very sporadic how the kitchen times and sends food out). We looked online for a drink menu as the one on the table literally only has five drinks and the server tells us that the website is what your business “aspires to sell” which is kinda a bait and switch considering it’s easier to change text in a web forum on a website than it is to change the text on a physical menu. So why not have both match to avoid confusion? Anyways, on top of the fact the service wasn’t great (server seems young and new so not entirely his fault, seems like a training issue honestly. Maybe invest in training for these employees???) our food was fair at best. And all of our checks were wrong. The server split up the check 12 ways (never asked us how the checks needed to be split either just assumed) and still ended up with wrong items at the bottom of the check and came back to me and my husband twice like “uhh anyone remember who ordered this?” My husband and I ended up paying for that mistake because I’ve been there, I’ve been a server in his position, and I just felt bad for him honestly I wasn’t gonna make him feel like crap on his last table of the night before your burlesque show (which seemed to be more of the importance than a table with over $600 worth of food and drinks based on the service) Again, not this poor servers direct fault. Seemed to me like no one trained him how to approach a party like this. Of course we tipped him well, we just won’t be back despite the fact our entire party was denton locals who work in tech and make good $ to spend at bars in our town…"

"Love supporting local biz. Heads up They don’t have beers. It’s only spirits. They had 5-6 featured drinks listed on their menu. I wanted to try a Pineapple Express but was advised they had ran out of the ingredients. So. It must have been good!!! And the kitchen closed at 10pm on a Saturday which seemed early but the wait staff clearly communicated with a 20 min warning and 2 minute warning so it wasn’t surprising. I would definitely like to go back but maybe earlier in the night. Cool place"

"Don't wait to try this place! My family and I have been here twice since they opened at the Denton location and had an enjoyable experience each time. The staff and owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming the moment you come in the door. We have tried appetizers, burgers, flat breads, desserts and drinks and not one was a disappointment. My husband said his old fashioned was the best one he has ever had. So delicious and with pretty much everything made in house (including condiments), how can it not be? It is such a laidback place, the waiters do not disappear after you pay the bill to try to get you to leave like other restaurants, and there are lots of board games to relax and enjoy a drink with. The patio is a great place to enjoy an afternoon or evening and unwind. I cannot recommend this place enough. My only issue is I wish we lived closer to come more often!"

"Fantastic place! The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The owner even greeted us and thanked us for coming. They have a nice menu with an eclectic variety of dishes. They also distill their own spirits. They have bourbon, vodka, and gin and make a mean cocktail. We had the poutine and the fig prosciutto flatbread. Both were so tasty! The poutine made the bourbon I order somehow even better. My wife got the maple old fashioned which was stellar. Love to see a properly made old fashioned with muddled sugar instead of just a squirt of simple syrup. The potential for the outdoor area with the planned stage and live music sounds amazing. There's so much space outside and I think that's just going to be amazing. With the shade from the trees already there it will be awesome! And it's dog friendly too. They have a bowl of water set out by the outdoor bar window and dog treats. I wish this place was busier. I love it so much!"

"As soon as you walk in you are greeted with smiles and welcomes. The building has a cool vibe with a subway feeling to it. They have a hip and fun drink selection with educated bar tenders to mix up some fun, tasty cocktails. My husband and I went out on a Wednesday night. We had our selection of seating. Being a weekday, we didn't have any alcohol, but I did get a Shirley Temple and it was out of this world. Our server said they make their own Grenadine in house! The burger and fries were amazing. Everything was fresh and so yummy! This place is definitely a winner for me. We will most certainly be back. And they even have live music and events!"
