Me and my fiance just wanted cheese fries, we went to cool beans first, their prices were absolutely ridiculous, so i suggested we go to loophole cause i liked their cheese fries in the past and they were fairly priced, but unfortunately the food just wasn’t good at all. Idk if they stopped making house ranch and started buying bottled ranch but it’s just as bad as hidden valley if not actually hidden valley, there was like only 7 pieces of bacon in the fries, the cheese sauce was almost definitely ricos nacho cheese sauce. Not bad but like. Come on… and the worst part was there was several raw fries. If you’re going to drown fries in the cheapest nacho cheese sauce at least make sure the fries are fried. It’s just sad.
I feel like ever since denton became this “tourist town” quality has just gone down everywhere and prices have gone way up and service is sub par. Why even go out? I could have gotten a bag of frozen fries, friend them in oil, bought ricos cheese, actually make palatable ranch and a fair amount of bacon crumbles and had a much better experience with more food for the same price.
I worked in food service for several years and was head chef at a few places and if I was serving these fries i just wouldnt feel proud.
The atmosphere is great. The service has always been good and I’ve always liked the food here. But i don’t think I’ll be back.

Have been a patron at this place for 3+ years and a server who has served my friends and I in the past refused to serve us drinks, because her Oklahoma ID was “fake, bc it didnt have a vertical barcode.”
The same server has served us alcohol in the past but maybe she was too distracted with the boy she had following her around that night. We used to love it here and its sad to see that we can no longer drink here bc they dont have a way to authenticate real IDs from the fake ones.
We still got fries that were okay at best, would have been better with an ice cold beer from the local place, unfortunately had to take our business elsewhere which is unfortunate because the restaurant seemed to be in need of local support.
Point is, if youre from Oklahoma avoid this place. and management from loophole pls teach your employees what a real ID looks like, and train your servers to not talk dirty and point at the people still buying food regardless of the situation. We got our beers from DCBC.

Walking through downtown Denton trying to decide what Restaurant to eat at. The cutest gal named Cienna working for The Loophole says, “Our burgers are better.”
It’s definitely an eclectic bar vibe ~ but us 4 old ladies weren’t uncomfortable at all.
Cienna, was familiar with the menu and all her recommendations were spot on.
Pretzels were hot, soft Yummy. The Jam & Goat Cheese Burger, So Good~ it’s like a homemade meaty burger with lots of Mayo and cheese.
The Margarita Pizza wasn’t the usual I have had- made with Pesto. The winner was the chicken parm pesto on a hoggie bun, plenty left over for seconds.
All in all it was a really fun and satisfying lunch experience.
Cienna was awesome!!
1/2 price Pizza on Thursday and 1/2 price Burgers on Wednesday.
We aren’t consumers of alcohol ~ but the bar was stocked and the signature names were funny.

They seriously need to do something about the squids. Out entire visit was ruined by squids harassing us during our meal. And the server with the “SPORTS CAR JONNY” tattoo didn’t do anything about it. When I asked about the squids he totally brushed us off and told us to “just ignore it” as if we were the crazy ones. Won’t be coming back here.

Ok, so I’ve been twice now at least and both times they aren’t just downright rude but they want you to know that you’re on their turf. The atmosphere is not professional. The limited bar space seems to be home for themselves and friends of the staff. Were pushed to the edge because waitress needed the bar stool next to us to sit and hangout between every customer interaction. The entire staff was taking every opportunity to hangout be loud and obnoxious. This was essentially the same both visits. Not giving a third chance. It’s not cheap enough for that kind of experience.

Our waitress was sweet and it was her first night on the floor. We asked if our 19 year old daughter was allowed to drink with us. Upon checking with management she said no. Zero complaints from us we respect the law. 46 year old mom and 21 year old boyfriend of her daughter got a celebration shot to toast the evening. Upon ordering a 2nd shot our “new” waitress said she had to witness the shot since we had a 19 year old at the table. We took the shot under supervision but I (the 46 year old) requested she review the prior shot footage to verify we respected the law and the shots were taken by consumers of legal age. 5 minutes later the manager poured shots for our waitress and a pink headed waitress which is a TABC violation. When I asked to speak to the manager and showed her the law and asked why our integrity was questioned while she was intentionally breaking the law was questioned she just laughed. Owners need to be made aware of how their establishment is being represented as well as @TABC. Do better!!

Great staff, great location, but DAMN ya’ll couldn’t spare a fresh bun? I work in the restaurant industry and would have never served this to a customer.

The Loophole…. Okay so as an amateur food critic, I have encountered my fair share of burgers, from the nondescript to the sublime. However, it’s a rare pleasure to find a place where a burger is a masterpiece, where the cooks are maestros conducting a symphony of flavors.
At the loop hole, this was my precise experience. From the first bite, the burger was just eaten; it’s savored. The beef fresh, seared to juicy perfection, hinting at a blend of seasonings that elevate its natural flavor. The bun, a golden dome of soft yet sturdy delight, lightly toasted, a perfect platform for the richness that rests upon it.
The lettuce and tomato are garden-crisp, the onions caramelized to a sweet turn, and the special sauce, a secret blend, is a creamy, tangy, and utterly delicious enigma that binds all the components together. The cheese, melted to just the right consistency, blankets the patty in a layer of gooey goodness.
Each burger at the loophole is not just a meal but an experience, a culinary journey worth taking again and again. For these reasons, I award the loophole a well-deserved five stars. It stands as a beacon of burger brilliance, a testament to the craft of burger-making, and a must-visit destination for any true aficionado of this classic American dish.

We visited the burger place late in the evening with high hopes, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations.
The atmosphere was cool, with a good vibe, but things took a turn when we realized they were about to close. We understand it was late, and the staff might have been tired, but we were hopeful they could still take care of us with their best service. However, we waited for our food for over 45 minutes, and when it finally arrived, it was disappointingly cold. The meat wasn’t cooked properly, and there was an issue with it being undercooked. I prefer my meat well-done, but unfortunately, they didn’t inquire about the preferred level of doneness.
The overall experience left a lot to be desired, and the wait time combined with the temperature of the food was a letdown. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback into consideration to enhance the dining experience for future patrons.

This was such a cool trendy spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Customer service was great. Food and drink was amazing. Price’s were reasonable. I will definitely be back. The adult cherry limeade was delicious.
