Top 15 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Allen, TX

Steve K. Always wanted to check out Portillos and Im glad I did! The interior is very reminiscent of Razzoos Cajun Cafe and Cracker Barrel, lots of nick knacks for decorations and the ceiling beaming with more decorations thats unique to the atmosphere. I think Portillos is known for their hot dogs but I tried their loaded cheeseburger meal and was taken aback by how fresh and delicious it was! Portillos fries are one of the best fries Ive had, in my opinion. Theyre crinkly fries, crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Salted to perfection and goes down with a Dr. Pepper from their beverage dispenser. If you plan to dine in on a warm day, you might want to bring along a sweater. Its frigid in the dining hall - I love it!

Kaztro Ann I went with a friends and had such a great time! We enjoyed a delicious meal and a cold beer, and the bartender provided excellent service. Later, a DJ started playing great techno/electronic music, which really set the mood and made the night even more fun. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Kelsie Gray Staff is always so friendly and accommodating. We’ve been multiple times and it is always a good an experience. The Alla Vodka Pasta and the Salmon dish are currently our favorites. Their Caesar salad is also really good.

JORGE Galvan I love the place. I come here often. The waitresses are the best, especially Vida, Im her regular... ❤️ The only complain I have is on the food. They seem to add lemon or lime juice to it. I like it natural. The music is sometimes too loud, but thats to be expected, its a Sport Cantina. Like it or not, its suppose to be loud!

Melissa Gonzalez I love everything about this place was welcomed promptly and given fast and friendly service. They gave me recommendations as well as information on dishes I didnt know. It was my first time ever having alligator and the way it was prepared was delicious I also recommend the stuffed chicken with pobalno sauce and if you have never had it yet I really recommend the dessert it all came fresh and hot when served. Most definitely coming back here again

PA Muller This was a really good place to eat! Even though we went in through the wrong door (it seems to be the norm), we were greeted and seated. It is small but the service was outstanding and the food delicious! Jeremy, our server, always checked on us and made sure our glasses were filled. We both ordered fish and chips which was so delicious! The fish was not overly greasy and the fries were perfect. Not too crunchy and not undercooked either. My husband got the gumbo which he said was so good that it didnt need crackers. They have a full bar and gluten free options. They also have outside seating. We will definitely be back to try some of the other menu options. Thank you, Fish City Grill!

Jesse Tristan If you are looking for a good home cooked Mexican breakfast This is the place to come. Diana the owner will be happy to fix your food!

Phil Anderton So many people hit the bigger names off the freeway, and as a local I prefer that. Keeps these mom and pop gems from being overcrowded with “tourists”. The food is amazing, and service top notch. Never disappointed when we come here.

Reuben Reyes Decor inside was sharp, clean, and relaxing. Nice selection of appetizers. Wine selection was good. Classic variety of pizza and pasta dishes. Service was excellent. Desserts were delightful. Overall excellent place to dine and enjoy Italian cuisine.

Surya Shanmugam I came in on Saturday around noon. Nice, small place. It seemed extremely busy, I think because they had a large group. The server was nice. He brought out biscuits that were crumbly and melted in my mouth. I ordered the Croque Monsieur, which was delicious and not greasy. The food took a very long time, but I genuinely think it was because they had a big group.

Brittany Brinson It was sooo GOOD! Everything! From the salsa and queso to our waiter Tony to the main dishes, it was exceptional and look forward to coming back when we are in town again! We were also surprised with sorbet after our meal☺️

J Estrada We had lunch here. It’s a small, cozy place and the service was a bit slow during our visit. However, the food was very good. I had their version of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich (Gaucho sandwich) and the bread was incredible. It was definitely one of the best sandwiches that I’ve ever had. The waffle fries were very good, too. My wife had their sirloin shish kabob with wild rice and said she enjoyed it, as well. It gets pretty packed, so you may have to wait a while but the food definitely makes it worth the wait.

Michael Knutson Friends love this place and suggested we try it out. We came in and really liked the decorations on the wall, very cool indeed. The menu can be completely overwhelming as there are so many options to choose from. I liked all the differences. Since we arrived at brunch time my wife got the French toast and I got the Cowboy Chicken. The plate was huge and full of food which was awesome. The biscuits were nice and fluffy. The chicken and breading was awesome. I loved the hashbrowns, as they were just the right crisp. My wife thought the French toast good, but could have been a bit more crispy. The bacon was great as well. The prices are between 10-20 a plate which seems to be the norm lately. We did see people get the peach tea and a frappe which bother look delicious and something to get next time The staff was very nice and attentive. Will come back again!

Stone Mahnich Michael and Kate were great hosts! The food is always fresh and so good. It’s a favorite for date night.
