Our picks: Frisco’s consistently top-rated restaurants
Dee Lincoln Prime (The Star)
Frisco’s marquee steakhouse — one of only a handful of Texas restaurants serving certified Kobe, with a six-seat omakase bar, deep wine list, and a music-and-cigar lounge. A special-occasion staple.
Yujo Umi
Premium sushi and one of DFW’s best-value omakase experiences — 20 courses for $100 with no tipping. We broke down the whole experience in our Yujo Umi omakase guide.
Haywire
Texas-sourced ranch-to-table fare in a sprawling multi-story space at The Star — consistently among Frisco’s most-loved restaurants for both food and atmosphere.
Salute Italian Restaurant
A west-Frisco hidden gem for family-recipe Italian. See why locals call it the best hidden gem in Frisco.
Musume at The Star
The newest heavy-hitter: elevated Japanese dining, 120+ sake labels, and omakase from chef Yuzo Toyama. Our full Musume review has the details.
How we judge “highest rated”
