Born of late night dreaming and planning by two Texas Tech University students, II Brothers' Grill & Bar has developed into a hotspot in the heart of Frisco, near the FC Dallas Stadium.

A diverse menu that stretches from breakfast to late night, fresh ingredients, a full bar, a welcoming atmosphere of sports memorabilia and plenty of TVs have been a recipe for success for the local restaurateurs behind the business.

II Brothers prides itself on fresh, never frozen foods. The owners use local vendors for both burger meat and vegetables.

"If you don't have good food, nobody's going to come back," said Tana Morgan, one of the owners.

II Brothers invites patrons to stay for a while. Cozy booths surround the restaurant and tables suited for large groups line the middle. The nearly restaurant length bar provides plenty more seating for a crowd.

Within walking distance of the stadium, II Brothers is perfectly positioned for the before and after game and event crowd, as well as visitors to the popular area near Frisco City Hall.

Brothers Steven Morgan and Josh Palmore, who operate II Brothers, attended

Texas Tech University with the restaurant business in mind.

"We had talks in college about wanting to do a bar and grill," Josh said. "We would sit up at night and think about what we wanted to call it, how we would

do it."

The two brothers began their restaurant endeavor upon graduation. The Frisco location originally opened down the street in 2005, then moved to its current location at 5858 Main St. in July 2012.

Family owned and operated, the Frisco bar and grill is the second of two II Brothers' locations. Steven operates the Frisco location, while Josh operates the Plano location. They are joined in the endeavor by parents Tana and Gary Morgan, who bring restaurant experience to II Brothers through their chain of Watson Burger restaurants.

The Frisco location is open for breakfast at 7 a.m. The owners say that unlike

many restaurants, its kitchen is open until the restaurant closes at midnight to

cater to the late night crowd.

Asked if the Frisco and Plano locations are the only II Brothers the family has

planned, Steven joked, "Well, we're waiting for another brother to come along."
