“This place is such a fun spot to catch a game. Super lively vibe, friendly staff, and quick service. The biggest screen in Dallas is honestly a game changer. My go-to dish is the Shrimp Kaboom—so good! Perfect place to hang out with friends for food, drinks, and games.“

“I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to expressing how absolutely incredible Megan is behind the bar at Gecko. If I could give her more than five stars, I would do it in a heartbeat, because she doesn’t just make drinks—she creates an entire atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours on end. From the moment you walk through the door and catch a glimpse of her working her magic, you know you’re in for a fantastic night, because she truly is the heart and soul of the place.
First and foremost, let’s talk about her personality, because it is genuinely unmatched. Megan is, without a shadow of a doubt, the sweetest and kindest person I have ever encountered in the service industry. It is so rare to find someone who manages to be so genuinely warm and welcoming, even when the bar is absolutely slammed and three people deep. No matter how busy she gets, she never loses that radiant, beautiful smile or that incredibly patient demeanor. She makes every single person sitting at that bar feel like they are the only person in the room. She listens with such genuine interest, she laughs at your jokes even when they probably aren’t that funny, and she has this amazing ability to just brighten your entire day, no matter what kind of mood you were in before you walked in. It is so refreshing to be served by someone who clearly loves what she does and actually cares about the people she’s serving.
And let’s be real—she is easily the prettiest bartender in the city, but it’s so much more than just her stunning looks. It’s the way she carries herself, the way she effortlessly manages every drink order with such grace and precision, and that undeniable energy she brings to the room. She is just a natural star behind that bar. Watching her work is almost like watching a performance; she’s so skilled, so fast, and so focused, all while managing to hold a conversation and make sure everyone is having a blast.
I honestly find myself coming back to Gecko specifically because I know Megan is going to be there. It’s not just about the drinks—though she makes those perfectly, every single time—it’s about the experience of being welcomed by someone who is so incredibly kind and beautiful inside and out. She has turned this bar into my absolute favorite hangout spot, and I truly cannot imagine the place without her. If you want top-tier service, a genuine conversation with the most wonderful person, and an overall unforgettable experience, you need to head to Gecko and find Megan. She is a total gem, a true professional, and an absolute legend in my book. Thank you, Megan, for being the absolute best!“

“Absolutely loved visiting the new Hugs location today. Not only do I love the people but the food was super tasty as well. The housemade jelly on the monte cristo is MAGNIFICENT. Wonderful location, food, and service.

I also bought a travel mug which I then left in my car for about three hours. When I came back and had a sip it was still cold!! Considering it sat in my black car during the worst of Texas summer I was very impressed.“

“I highly recommend Harvest for their food. We have been coming to this restaurant since it opened and this was our first time in the newer space since it is so hard to get a reservation. We came for my husband’s birthday and it was perfection from the minute we walked in. The host said happy birthday to him and then had us go upstairs to the live music area on the 3rd floor. We had to wait a few minutes but the manager took care of our cocktail order because of it. The music from the vinyl stripes was excellent. The waitress darnesha was kind attentive and super happy. What amazing customer service! He was also able to pick a dessert off the menu. Such an enjoyable evening. My husband’s day was made with the live music and great food. Thank you“

“Classiest fine dining restaurant in McKinney, but with a welcoming, non-pretentious atmosphere. Great for date nights or any day of the week when you want to have a great meal. The menu was creative, but with some classic favorites to choose from as well. The food was extremely tasty, with large enough portions to share. The waitstaff was the icing on the cake. Very attentive and helpful. Centro is one of those places that you leave happy for trying it out, and eager to make it your regular. We will be back! Oh yeah...check out their wine list, you won't be disappointed.“

“Truly amazing birthday evening thanks to our son and daughter-in-law! Our sweet server, Demetrius, was so attentive and friendly. Allison, the manager stopped by our table several times and we ran into her as we were leaving. She recommended a red wine for me to try. The meal was served piping hot and beyond delicious!

The coffee is from Italy with bold tones but no bitterness. It is difficult to find good coffee. The pancakes were light and sweet. The bacon is very meaty. I love Egg cited!“

“I love this place! Tonight Kelsey was my server. I've had her numerous times before, and the service as always was superb! I drink unsweetened iced tea, and she brings me a new glass of tea before I have even finished the one I am drinking. Everyone is so friendly! The food is great, and if something is wrong with it they quickly replace it. This has only happened a time or two, one of which was my fault for not ordering correctly. In spite of that they still graciously replaced it. I can't recommend this place enough!“

“Awesome place. Great service and the food is top notch. The crawfish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The corn is so fresh. We also had the calamari appetizer and being from Cali I’m very qualified to say it is in my top three for flavor and tenderness. Ask for Kaylyn to serve you she is GREAT!“

“My cousin and I visited the Cafe this morning for breakfast. Our waiter - Phillip - was amazing! However, the food this time was a little disappointing. My cousin ate her grits and I had the Frech Toast. We also had bacon and potatoes. The bacon was not cooked the way we wanted. A new order was made, but still not satisfactory. And it was very salty. So we did not eat the bacon. Normally the food is outstanding but today's visit was a little off.“
