Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Frisco, TX

Kimberley Noel My daughter and I had lunch here recently. It was the first time I had eaten here. We actually had planned on going somewhere else but the other place looked extremely busy. I really wanted tacos and this place was nearby so I thought I would try it. They were not very busy and we were seated immediately. Our server greeted us right away and brought us chips and salsa and our drinks very quickly. My daughter ordered the steak quasadilla and I ordered the barbacoa tacos. The quesadilla was $18.50 but didnt come with anything. My tacos came with a choice of beans (I chose black beans) and rice. We each had a coke. The service and food was excellent. It was more than I had intended on spending for lunch ($60 with top) especially considering it was basically 1 appetizer, 1 meal and 2 cokes. I most likely wouldnt go here again, only due to the price since there are so many other places around.

Charles Boltas Wow! This is my new favorite restaurant in downtown Frisco. My wife and I went for a dinner on a Thursday evening. We got there right when they opened at 5:00PM. We were greeted right away from a friendly hostess. She sat us on the enclosed porch and we had the whole place to ourselves. Again, we were greeted by a friendly server and his training partner. Both were nice and kept our waters filled. The food. Blown away. We started with a cup of the butternut squash and mushroom soup. The butter it squash soup was the bomb! The mushroom soup was the best Ive had as well. Next, we ordered the pork pot pie and their play on chicken and dumplings. Both were super flavorful and tasty. It was my birthday, so they have us a free piece of lemon pie. Also sooo good. Nothing but five stars here all around from beginning to end. We will be back!!!! Also, the menu lists the local farms where the food comes from. The food is seasonal and fresh. The menu will change frequently.

Christopher Hutchinson I stopped by Craftway Kitchen in Frisco last night, new to town and hoping for a great meal — and it didn’t disappoint. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was super friendly and welcoming. She explained the menu, asked about allergies, and served a couple of excellent frozen whiskey sours. I ordered the stuffed flounder with crab and cream cheese, one of the nightly specials, and it was absolutely decadent with perfectly sized portions. The place had a lively, upscale vibe with lots of people but still felt comfortable and inviting. I’ll definitely be back — hands down the best meal I’ve had since moving here!

Rachel Sherbert I had the chance to finally try Baonecci this past week and it was a phenomenal experience! Our waiter, Rogelio, taught us all about the restaurants history and about the menu. Baonecci used to be in San Francisco and recently came to Frisco, TX in the last 3 years. Their entire menu is ordered in fresh from Europe, pastas and pizzas are handmade in house, and everything lacks processed ingredients. To begin, we ordered white wine and I believe the Judas Spritz, which contained red wine, orange, and more. Both were excellent and paired perfectly with our appetizers and meals. For our appetizers, we ordered the Bruschetta and the Tagliere Toscano, or charcuterie board. The bruschetta was some of the best we have ever had and was made with excellently toasted bread. The Tagliere Toscano contained a variety of tasty meats, cheese, olives, as well as focaccia bread. It was a perfect board and not too heavy before our main meal. We also split the Baonecci Salad, which contained romaine lettuce, arugula, goat cheese and pears. It was absolutely delicious and perfect for the two of us. For our entrees, we ordered the Ravioloni Riccotta e Spinaci and an item from the secret menu, veal ravioli with white sauce. We also spilt a Contadina pizza. We were absolutely blown away by each of these dishes, the Ravioloni Riccotta e Spinaci was my particular favorite. The ravioli ricotta and spinach was served with the best gorgonzola cream sauce and topped with walnuts, it was honestly one of my favorite dishes I have had this year. The secret menu item was classic Italian and another hit. We loved the Contadina pizza as well. It was made very thin and crispy, echoing true Italian style. It definitely could be an appetizer because it was very light. It was made with gorgonzola, mozzarella, parmesan and topped with curly pears, it was delicious! Lastly, for dessert, Rogelio recommended we try the Coppa Amarena over the Tiramisu, so we did. It was a great choice! The Coppa Amarena is vanilla gelato topped with Amarena cherries. It is a perfect, fruity and light dessert to end the night with. However, I would love to come back for the Tiramisu! Overall, it was an absolutely amazing experience. The food is authentic, Italian and clearly made fresh and in-house. Our waiter, Rogelio, also made it such a fun night and gave us amazing recommendations that made the entire experience great. I cannot wait to come back and try more from the menu and have some of these dishes again. Dont let it deter you that it is located in a strip mall, it is truly a hidden, Italian gem. I look forward to returning soon! Thank you so much for a great experience and night!!

Karla Carrillo Beautiful place for some wine, good old fashions and super good food! This place will hold a place in my heart as I got engaged there YESTERDAY everyone was so attentive and gave a beautiful presentation for such a meaningful moment! Shout out to Robby for working with my fiancé to organize such a beautiful moment. Definitely visit! You won’t regret.

Jessica N Went here for my friend’s birthday and it was so quirky and elegant all at the same time. Food was good and service was good too. We ordered some cocktails for the birthday girl, chimichurri shrimp satay, the quinoa chaufa stir fry with salmon, snowbird salmon, and the lomo salteado-a Peruvian wagyu steak dish. Everything was so delicious. It’s a great spot for small or large groups. Bring a date or your friends to celebrate. Till then, let’s sip and eat!

shalesDC Our bartender made a perfect old fashioned! He was very attentive, quick and friendly. They have plenty of TVs, seating at the bar, table seating and lounge seating. Very clean area all throughout! We ordered a side of fries for $5 and received a huge bowl we couldnt finish! They were good and crispy. If we wouldve been more hungry, I wouldve loved to have tried the other food on the menu. For a hotel restaurant and bar, this place did not miss. We stopped in after a little shopping in the mall and Im so glad we did- I highly recommend!

Elnaz Niko We had a great experience at this Persian restaurant today. Our server, Linda, was amazing—super kind, funny, and very professional. The food was delicious, especially the soup, kebabs, and tahdig. We also loved the tea and Roulette after lunch. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

Adriana Herrera Food was delicious. We stopped for brunch and were really hungry. Food was so good and came out hot. Server was very nice and attentive. She checked on us and kept our drinks full.

Christy Galich Delicious! It’s been a long while since I’ve eaten at a Babes chicken and it didn’t disappoint! Great service and atmosphere! I’m definitely going back!

PineApple City I Tried my first bowl of shrimp and grits topped with bacon and tomatoes-Outstanding to say the least. The avocado toast amazing! Never tied these items until now. The OJ was also amazing. Vanessa the waitress was super cool and provided great customer service-5 Stars for Vanessa!

McMullen Wayne (WayneHammerDad) Good here is delicious. The bread they use for toast is worth the trip alone and being an Englishman and breakfast is our favorite meal, I loved it so much and the pork sausage links were the best! My daughter had the power breakfast burrito and we fought over the last bite.

Richard Cooper What a great experience, from the service to the food we had a wonderful time. The Mariano margarita is excellent and fun at the same time. The chips are so thin and light and the salsa is delicious. Had the steak and chicken fajitas and is was perfect. The steak was the most tender l have ever had. If you are anywhere close you have to stop by for a really rewarding dinning experience!

Chetan Salian Our first experience at Tex-Mex and boy did we enjoy the cuisine at Anaya’s! Both the dishes we ordered - the fish n chips and the Redfish from the specials were made from scratch and with freshest of fresh seafood! And both were cooked to perfection. Not oily not overdone or dry, just correctly done! The Dos Equis was served with a chilled glass of beer which was highly appreciated. The place was quite empty for an afternoon but there was a quiet stream of regulars which kept coming thru’ Anna our server took care of our order with courteousness that exemplifies the service you can expect here.

Bryan Miller We had a fantastic evening dining with friends at Dua Trattoria. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Our server, Audi, did a wonderful job taking care of us—attentive, knowledgeable, and personable throughout the night. Nic, the owner, even stopped by our table several times with food, wine, and cocktail recommendations, which made the experience feel even more special. Every suggestion was spot on. We kicked off the night with a couple of the signature “Nic” Old Fashioneds, an Espresso Martini, and a bottle of Quilt Cabernet. The cocktails were excellent—the Old Fashioned is a must-try for anyone who appreciates the classic, and the Espresso Martini stood out because they make it with real Espresso from a proper machine, which made all the difference. For appetizers, we had the Breaded Ravioli and Bruschetta. Both were good, but the Breaded Ravioli was the star—perfectly crisp crust with just the right texture inside. For mains, our table enjoyed the Lobster Ravioli, Short Rib Ravioli, Mario’s, and the Bone-In Veal Parmesan. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The Veal Parmesan was especially memorable—generous in portion and cooked to perfection. Between the outstanding service, warm atmosphere, thoughtful recommendations, and delicious food and drinks, Dua Trattoria has quickly become a new favorite. Highly recommend for a night out with friends, a date night, or anyone looking for elevated Italian dining in Frisco.
