940's Kitchen & Cocktails

We came in on a Sunday night. A few other patrons were at the bar; we opted for a comfy booth. We were sat immediately with a smile. The decor is upscale industrial. It has a nice vibe. Not too loud but not too quiet either. Definitely a pleasant place to have a date night. I ordered a tap cocktail flight since the waitress indicated that tap cocktails are what they are known for at 940's. The flight did not disappoint. The worst part was having to choose between all the awesome options. Presentation was gorgeous. The lavender elixir is very smooth with a sublime finish; it does not have the overpowering nature that many gin and tonic based drinks have. The rest of the flight was also very tasty, though I found the Sun's smoky mescal taste to be a bit overpowering. We ordered eggplant fries and the poutine for starters, along with a cup of tomato basil soup. My husband loved the poutine. I'm not a huge poutine fan but can say that it was done well with fresh ingredients. The eggplant fries had a surprisingly smoky taste--maybe due to the chipotle honey sauce. There was an interesting melding of textures that kept me wanting more. The jalapeño mustard went very well with the eggplant fries. The soup was coarsely blended and really was just a pretty basic cup of tomato soup. I probably wouldn't order it again. My husband ordered the Denton fried chicken for dinner and I had the house salad with fried chicken. The chicken was well seasoned but the breading was a bit thicker and too well done for my taste. I stole a bite of my husband's mashed potatoes--those were fantastic. Overall, the cocktails are worth the trip. The foods not bad at all. They have a generous happy hour menu that starts in the afternoon and goes until close; so a nice safety net to try new things. The service was great. We will definitely be back.

I was recommended 940's Kitchen & Cocktails by some friends from UNT and how their Denton fried Chicken was great. So, I ordered the Denton fried chicken dish, and it exceeded my expectations. As someone who isn't a huge fan of American food, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this dish captured what great American cuisine should be.The fried chicken was perfectly crispy and flavorful, the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, and the green beans were a nice complement. Everything was cooked to perfection!The service was also top-notch--our server, Tito, was friendly and attentive, making sure our water was always refilled and providing decent insight into the menu.As for the ambiance, it really has that "Denton feel." The decor is charming, with lovely paintings and nice furniture that fit perfectly with Denton Square. The bar area is inviting, too! Overall, this place is fantastic and truly represents what Denton has to offer and I think the food quality meets the expectations as well.

This place gives me whiplash! I SWEAR! We keep coming back to see if things have improved. Disappointed again! Service was extremely slow. My husband and I had both finished our drinks before the food arrived. Our server checked on us once right before the food arrived. The tenderloin grilled cheese was tasty as were the chicken biscuit sliders. But per usual the hashbrowns were rubbery. The chef should take note that this has been our test on whether or not to return here. Hashbrowns are pretty basic. And they are consistently bad here. Until we have word that management has changed or that the chef has changed, I doubt we will return. We just never know if we will get good service or if the food will be worth the $$.

Loved this place. The food was so delicious. I also ordered the PalomaThomas was so kind and helpful on deciding my meal. Ambience was quite and nice

We love this spot in Denton right off the main square- it's a fun spot where the bartenders are friendly and helpful. The food is always good and the cocktails on tap are delicious!

Checked out 940 last night to celebrate a friend's wedding and had an amazing time. We were able to reserve a table and get sat once most of our party was there. Our server, Sydney, was so wonderful and welcoming! I checked out the drink and food menus and decided on the tenderloin grilled cheese, which came with a mix of American and Fontina cheese, sunny side egg, onion jam, and tenderloin. I asked Sydney about scrambling the egg instead of having it sunny side and she recommended that I get it cooked hard because it tastes great with the sandwich. She said she would check with the kitchen, and they were able to make the adjustment. For my drink, she recommended the berry basil mule. I was thinking it was going to be sweet, but combined with the basil, it had just a hint of sweetness that made it easy to sip and enjoy! Our food came out quickly, and we all ordered something different, so we got to try each other's entrees. My grilled cheese was not super heavy, and the combination of the American and Fontina cheeses was perfect. I love that I was able to swap out the fries for green beans. The green beans were amazing--garlic with a hint of sweetness. Everything was so good!The vibe was good as well. My friends and I were able to laugh and have a good time. The staff enjoyed our joy, and they made our experience delightful! I can't wait to come back and I would highly recommend coming here!

First time here did not live up to the hype. The ambiance was nice; basic but clean and organized. I enjoyed the music. I'm not sure if it's the normal choice, but this night it was 90's Rap. We were pestered with gnats the entire meal. The cocktails and appetizer were the best part of the meal. I ordered The Sun; if you like mezcal and tajin, this drink is for you. The lemon drop martini was very tart, but the sugar rim helped balance it out. The tenderloin Mac and cheese made it worth coming back for. It came out quickly. The Mac and cheese had great flavor and just the right amount of creaminess; it wasn't too runny or too dry. The tenderloin was extremely tender, though it tasted more like a pot roast. Still delicious! The fried onions on top added a satisfying texture difference and tied in all the flavors. The serving was enough of a meal in it of itself, so it's a great dish to share with others. My mom and I ordered two meals to split; the shrimp carbonara and the cuban (a special for the day). My mom told our server, Brooklyn, we were sharing both food items. She did not state to bring them out one at a time. The bread of the cuban tasted stale and was rather tough to chew. The pulled pork didn't have much flavor. Overall the sandwich was very dry. The fries were decent; nothing exceptional about them. Brooklyn never checked on us after dropping the food off. About 20 minutes after finishing the sandwich, Brooklyn finally came to our table. It was at this time I asked if the shrimp carbonara was still coming out. She gave a confused look at the table and stated she would check on it. After a few minutes she returned and stated it would be coming out shortly; no explanation as to why this occurred was given. The table next to us (a two top) received both of their dinners and finished them before we received our second meals. Another 10-15 minutes passed before the shrimp carbonara was delivered. My mom asked Brooklyn why it took so long for the second dish to come out. Brooklyn stated the kitchen was backed up with a large table. This would mean that the kitchen sent out half a ticket before completing the order, with an entire 20-30 minutes between each dish being served. What is more likely, and what I believed happened, is that Brooklyn forgot to ring in the pasta dish for whatever reason. She only rang in the appetizer and the sandwich, and when the kitchen completed that order it was sent out. After being called out on her mistake, she then tried to rush the order, but the big tables order slowed things down. It simply does not make sense for a kitchen to send out half the order before completing the ticket. Very disappointed that Brooklyn had the chance to be honest and explain her mistake, but decided to lie instead. Whether it was directly her mistake or not (which I 100% believe it was), it took at least 30 minutes for our second entree to be delivered- this warrants some kind of apology or comp in my opinion. The shrimp carbonara was nearly inedible. There was way too much pepper and salt. The shrimp was the only good part of the dish. The bacon bits were much too big. We didn't finish it. Brooklyn also did not check on us after dropping the food off.If you come here, limit yourself to the tenderloin mac and cheese. I will not be rushing to try this establishment again anytime soon, and I will certainly avoid Brooklyn as a server.

This was a great find. We were here as a group for a work conference. I love that this place is quite and beautifully decorated. I ordered the pesto pizza and it was the best I think I've ever had. The service was really great considering we had a large group. It took a moment for us to get our alcoholic beverages, But they only had a few bartenders and the place was really busy. In all I would definitely go back to this restaurant if I'm ever in that area.

Absolutely loved this place, will definitely be visiting again!It's industrial chic inside, think cement and brick dressed up with leather booths and warm wood. The bar is beautiful!My friends and I started with cocktail flights, all delicious (the Kitty Coley and Old Fashioned were my favorite). We split Mac n cheese, a tenderloin grilled cheese and the shakshuka. The food was great (portions were a bit small but big flavor).Tito took care of us, he was very attentive and friendly. The manager also checked in, all around great service!

What happened to the portion size? It used to be much more substantial. And this is one of their smaller delivery boxes. Not sure if this is $18 worth, even with sides. We also asked for salad lemon dressing on the side and it's not here. Instead it has Apple cider dressing already added to the salad. Not the first time the dressing was not what we asked. On the redeeming side the Salmon and Risotto was good and they deliver.
