This place is clearly very popular. It was extremely busy when we visited. My burger was very good, in a classic way. And you also can't best the cost. The restaurant is very home-y and no-frills, in a good way. Great low key restaurant to check out.
1st time at City Limits w/ the Mrs and it was the afterwords, dinner crowd on a Thursday. Parking lot was almost full as we grabbed on of the last spots. The bar is wooded rustic and brick, giving it a Northern Dive Bar feel - but the atmosphere was friendly and straight forward. We opted for shisk-a-bob and a chicken fried steak. Both were generous and simply made well - with a small side salad. Next time its burgers, as the 1/2 lb giants looked great (and at around $12, with fries - I would be hard pressed to get BK, McD, or the Redheads for the same dough. The best part was our waitress, Maddie- who was SO good and efficient!
I stopped by for lunch. It was a Thursday around 1230pm. The place was packed. I was greeted immediately. There was a short wait for a table. The server was cute as a button and very sweet. I ordered a( ham&swiss) sandwich. It comes cold or hot. She suggested hot, and that was the right choice. It was perfectly cooked, It came with fries. They were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The prices are reasonable for the portion size. It is very casual and they serve meals on paper plates. I would recommend stopping by for lunch if you are in the area.
We almost didn’t stop in — City Limits has that classic little dive-diner vibe, and being in a more rural area, I’ll admit I was skeptical. I’ve learned the hard way that great reviews don’t always mean great food. I’m very happy to say… I was wrong. From the moment we walked in, Jackie completely changed the experience for us. When she found out it was our first visit, she went out of her way to make us feel welcome — even offering samples before we ordered so we could be sure we liked what we chose. That kind of service is rare anywhere, and it set the tone right away. Then the food came out — fresh, perfectly seasoned, and genuinely delicious. You can tell it’s made with care, and suddenly it made total sense why this place is always busy. The menu has great variety, and what really stood out was the willingness to be creative if you don’t see exactly what you’re craving. Coming from Austin — a city that takes food seriously — it’s refreshing to find a spot that truly lives up to its reputation, both in service and quality. City Limits exceeded expectations in every way, and we’re already looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. This place absolutely earns the love it gets. Highly recommend!!
The food was good. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The queso and the chili were excellent! The chicken fried steak was really good. My only regret is not trying the hickory burger. Definitely would eat here again.
Wonderful food, me and my husband went to eat on a Friday night. I had the Chicken Fried Steak and with the most delicious gravy. The atmosphere was very friendly and inviting. I loved that the restaurant was full of people. Our waitress was super friendly and kept our drinks full. This is one restaurant that we will definitely keep going too.
First time eating here. And it was wise choice. Met a couple at the entrance that said they eat here Every Sunday! Once inside it was apparent why. Every one was so happy and conversing at each table. As the orders arrived all around us , you could see the pleasure and anticipation on their faces. We saw several dishes that made it easy to make our menu selections. Our waitress guided us to spectacular choices. Started with chips and hot sauce. 7 layer dip appetizer was mouthwatering Veggie Quesadillas as main course Chicken Quesadillas too. Chicken Fried Steak with French fries and a side salad was exceptional. One anomaly is they don’t have mashed potatoes!!! Weird They do offer a baked potato. Our waitress was so caring, knowledgeable, and talented. The atmosphere and vibe is everything you could hope for in a restaurant like this. One guy next to us eats here several times a week. Next visit will include one of their famous club sandwiches and a classic burger. It’s located just off Highway 75 on Texoma Parkway I recommend you add this to your Must Try Soon list I guarantee you will love it and return quickly See you there!
We traveled up to Sherman Texas yesterday for another live auction and chose to try a local favorite called City Limits. They do have patio seating so Buddy joined us too. Taylor and I both picked the Fish And Chips with fresh cut fries and house made tartar sauce. Huge pieces of fish, steaming hot and absolutely delicious. Very crowded during the noon day rush but it looks like they were well staffed and getting customers fed quickly. We will eat here again 👍👍
