Barnlight Eatery

Barnlight Eatery is a wonderful gem in an assuming strip mall, located in Frisco.  Frisco is suburb of Dallas not far from where I live that has exploded over the past few years.  Most of the development you see around town has only been there a little while.  It's a fun little town.  A great place to catch a baseball game, see a concert, or watch a hockey game, with tons of shopping and restaurants around.

At Barnlight, they describe their menu as elevated comfort food.  It's Texas cuisine served with flare in a rustic atmosphere.  I read about this place online and was sold on it just by the pictures of the food on their website.  No Yelp reviews necessary.

A friend of mine lives in Frisco so he joined me for dinner.  I ordered the grilled pork loin.  It was served with a spiced cayenne apricot jam, jalapeno au gratin potatoes, and sautéed spinach.  My friend ordered the chorizo meatloaf, with mash potatoes, green beans, and a smoked corn relish. 

I am not a fan of sweet stuff on my dinner.  I believe dinner should be spicey and savory.  Dessert should be sweet, but the apricot jam complimented the pork very well.  I was pleasantly surprised.

After dinner, I was hungry for dessert, which hardly ever happens.  I wasn't entirely impressed with dessert selection, but since my friend didn't know of any other places around Frisco that served good dessert, we stayed there.  Come to think of it, I have the Yelp app on my phone.  I could have found a place.  Technology is only good if you use it.

I ordered a cup of coffee and a slice of their pumpkin pie.  The pumpkin pie was awesome. Certainly way better than anything you would buy in the store.

The prices at Barnlight were pretty reasonable and comparable at any or the big chain restaurants.  With my entrée, a glass of Shiner, a cup of coffee, and dessert, my order came to $31.  No too bad, but I probably won't be eating out like that again until next pay day. 

I would highly recommend this place, if you're looking to mix your comfort food with a little bit of Texas.
