I'm so grateful to have gone in a college town such as Denton that has so much unique food.

Flying Tomato
Texas Pickup
NY Subway

...not Denton specific, but I do miss the Taco Cabana deal that was $4 for a drink, a couple soft tacos, and chips/queso.

Texas Pickup, NY Subway, Flying Tomato

I love the other two but I am not familiar with Texas Pickup. Has it been around long or closed?

Well, it opened before 1979, and closed well after 1983... @UNTLiferlikely knows more.

They had the BEST chicken fried steak.

One website still lists it -LOL:

Not sure when it closed, but sometime during late 90s- early 2000s.  It was located where Traditions Hall sits today. I remember going there a lot as a kid.

Other than some already mentioned, I used to really like Sweetwater Grill during my college years ('96-01).  I heard they went out of business a few years ago.

 

Also I loved Fera's, and thankfully they're still around.

The Texas Pickup was near Fouts, address was 2101 West Prairie Street

It might be the first establishment I visited after moving to Denton.  I remember excellent chicken tenders and nice vibe.  It closed after my first or second year.

I just saw many are posting New York Subway while I was thinking of New York Sub Hub. I love Sub Hub but never tried NY Subway. I saw one the last time I was in Denton eating at Burger Time Machine but never made it there to eat. Any thoughts on NY Sub Hub vs NY Subway?

Burned down.  Great CFS, nachos, etc.  It was our go to place after playing intramurals.  Was on the corner of Prairie and what is now North Texas Blvd. in a little strip center that also housed West Prairie St. Pub.

they're the same. changed to Sub Hub maybe around '04 or so if memory serves...always heard it was due to the national chain Subway butting in, but don't know for certain. 

Their shop on Avenue C was the cornerstone of my diet for all 5 years of my time in Denton. 

I worked at Hooya for pretty much whole college career, so that also kept me rather full. 

Some sleepers...I forget the name, but there was a sandwich shop directly across the street from NY Sub...they had some Turkey Tuesday deal, like maybe a full sub for $5 or so that I'd definitely cheat on NY Sub for. Mr. Chopsticks and Oriental Garden were sneaky favorites. Sweetwater's was a standard for chill dates, Greenhouse when you were actually trying to impress.

Yea, I try to hit all stops at Sub Hub on Avenue C every time I come to Denton.

Loved the Prairie St Pub.  Upped my dart game there.

Mr Goodcents - it was so insanely cheap. Greenhouse also still brings it and Mr. Chopsticks has had a sad decline the last decade or so.
