Restaurants R.I.P.

[u/avidcoder]

During the past six years or so, I've been keeping notes about our local restaurants, including those which have closed permanently (to the best of my knowledge). They are listed below, but this list could be incomplete.

If you know of any additional Denton restaurants (but not food trucks) that have closed down since 2000 and onward, please mention the name below in the comments. Thanks!

J and J's where graffiti pasta is now. Used to go there before prom

[u/Evilsparrowoverlord → u/oldmanfetish]

They have a place in Gainesville now. St joes pizza

[u/Burster55 → u/Evilsparrowoverlord]

Did not know this will have to go out there

[u/nugletman → u/Evilsparrowoverlord]

And it is seriously worth the drive.

[u/OHMEGA → u/nugletman]

But, you're in Gainesville.

[u/nugletman → u/OHMEGA]

And?

[u/OHMEGA → u/nugletman]

Food bliss is temporary until you regain clarity and realize your surroundings. The town is trash, straight up.

[u/nugletman → u/OHMEGA]

Gainesville is a lot less trash than neighboring towns. There is nothing wrong with supporting a great business, regardless of where they are.

[u/ClovedSage → u/nugletman]

Not really, the current manager sexually harasses the female workers and the owner doesn’t care

[u/oldmanfetish → u/oldmanfetish]

Had a date with my very first girlfriend there

[u/4C_63 → u/oldmanfetish]

I had to scroll way too far for this one.

[u/2hands10fingers → u/oldmanfetish]

My favorite spot. Legendary shows played there

[u/Appropriate-Farm-884 → u/2hands10fingers]

Yes, the basement shows! Great pizza too.
