My husband and I were blown away with the flakey croissants -- the best we've tasted outside of France. They are worth the drive! The other breads are lovely also -- with the taste of French flour. It's expensive, but well worth the splurge now and then.

My wife and I ventured from our neighborhood in Valley Ranch to the great white north of Allen to try some authentic Thai cuisine Saturday night. Let me tell you boys and girls; it was worth the journey.
We started by ordering spring rolls. There were two rolls that came with a sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was fantastic. Where you would typically see a gelatinous red sauce at other resturants, it seems that Thai Cafe's sauces are made from scratch. The rolls were very crispy and not oily at all. The vegetables were very fresh and crunchy. With our rolls came a "chip" that, when asked, we were told that it was the equivalent of getting tortilla chips at Mexican food resturants. The chips were light and crunchy with just a hint of spice. We were told that they were made of shrimp.
I wanted to have a small salad, so I ordered a side salad with peanut sauce. This dish was a pleasent supprise and helped prepare my pallette for the spicy food which I would soon ingest. The peanut sauce was placed on top of the salad which I prefered in lieu of mixing it into the salad during preperation. The diner would be allowed to mix the sauce as they pleased. It had just a hint of spice that seemed odd for a salad, but was actually very good.
My wife ordered the Pad Thai with chicken while I ordered, what I was told was a Thai signature dish, the Thai Cafe Ground Chicken with Basil. I will start by saying that there is an ample amount of food. The proprietor of the resturant was concerened because there was still so much food on her plate. I assured him that it was because she weighs only 105 pounds and not because she did not enjoy it (we were able to share the leftovers for lunch Sunday). The pad thai was very good. The noodles were fresh and the chicken was well prepared. You can really tell that the sauce was prepared fresh. The peanuts tasted like they were ground that morning, because you can still taste the natural oils from the nut. It was not dry at all. The chicken with basil dish was phenomenal. I ordered the dish with medium spice (at the recommendation of my waiter) which was perfect. The herbs and spices in the dish were very clean and fresh. They tasted like they were picked out of a garden just before they were cooked. The aroma from the dish when it was presented to me caused me to eat the whole plate. The vegetables in the dish were fresh and crunchy. Each dish was served with a white rice. It helped cool down the spice and soak up the sauce.
We ended the meal with an order of fried ice cream. The ice cream was breaded in a sweet breading and fried quickly and drizzeled with a chocolate sauce and a side of whipped cream. AWESOME!
The price was very reasonable. We spent $35.00 for the two of us to eat. I know they deliver, but I don' think that I can get them to make the trip to Valley Ranch. We will be going back for sure to try other items on the menu. We have found an authentic Thai resturant that we will frequent.
Pros: Excellent food and friendly service.
Cons: Distance from my house.

I travel to NY and Chicago a lot so I thought I knew everything about pizza. When I moved to Allen, I stumbled into this place offering St. Louis style pizza (among others). I have to admit that I had never heard of St. Louis pizza before but decided to try it and it was delicious! It reminded me of NY thin crust pizza the most. The best part was the toppings which were fresh and great. I will definitely be going back.
P.S. It's BYOB too!
Pros: Great tasting!
Cons: None

Scotty P's is absolutely the best place to get a burger. It is exactly the opposite of fast food burgers. My favorite is the Big Daddy mushroom burger. The burger is rich in taste and leaves nothing to be desired in size.

Mimi's is a really quaint little place that caters to women. Most of the restaurant is done up in pastels and it has a touch of a french atomosphere. The food is very good and they have a lot of salads and muffins that are out of this world. With side orders such as fried pickles and frog legs, Mimi's is unique not only for the atmosphere but for the food itself. The pricing is just perfect too. Not really cheap, but not too expensive. You will walk out of this place wanting to go back because it's so good and leaves you with a really relaxed feeling.

The best local itallian food around. I lived in NYC and their pizza is the closest I can get to that.
Everything is great--every time. I usually order to go and if they are too busy they will quit answering their telephone, forcing you to drive up there to order and wait the 30 minutes. I deal with it though because it is worth it. Napoli's is a family run business and they care about their customers and the quality of their food. I take all my friends here. Awesome!
Pros: Wonderful, consistently prepared menu
Cons: Closed on Mondays

There's nothing better than finding a local diner that takes pride in every dish they serve. Italian Villa is such a place. Their hand-tossed pizza crust melts in your mouth, and their pasta dishes are served steaming and oozing with tons of melted cheese. When you're done with your meal, you will walk out happy because you will be filled with some of the best Italian around, and will have only a small dent in your wallet.

I love these hamburgers and the Cardiac Fries are awesome! This was my first meal after I had my kids! I was craving it!
It is a very kid friendly restaurant and has items on the menu for everyone. Their salads are awesome and so are the great chocolate milkshakes.
Reasonably priced and a big room in back for parties!
