50 Best American Restaurants in Mcallen

“One of my favorite restaurants in McAllen“

“I enjoyed it. Not you prepackaged fare the food is good. Presentation is quirky; just jump in it tastes great. I had a turkey special with homemade bread, mashed potatao, green been casserole (where else are you going to get that?) And stuffing. I loved the stuffing. And for context-I do not eat stuffing. Mud pie was good too.
Oh! Get coffee. You like bold coffee?
Get the coffee.

Also the food is really good for the price. Buy a couple pies and some bread. Get a to go dish. Leave a tip. Its that good.“

“Where are the music videos? I love this place but I don’t like to watch only sports. Bring the Music Videos back 😊“

“Jesse Gonzalez the manager was very attentive, kept refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything.“

“Idk what happened yesterday, but the food was not as good. The bread from a burger was cold, the potato soups were cold, the soda tasted like bad. It wasn’t like that before. They did replace the soups but we were not hungry for it anymore“

“I recommend La Eloteca when you’re craving that “elote en vaso” fix. I like that you have several topping options to enjoy that treat. However, folks.. Please have your food prep staff/workers change gloves after handling money or touching the checkout screen. The same checkout screen your customers touch. I was so turned off that I had to remind the female worker to change her gloves after she handled cash, the screen, then touched the opening of the bottle where the crema and mayo come out of. That’s cross contamination. She needs to retake that food handlers course again.“

“The food was awesome and really delicious and the service was great and the staff was friendly and really enjoyed it This is a great Restaurant“

“Está muy bien, lo único que piden mejorará es el personal está del caos no todos pero si varios y también que tengan doctor peper“

“Came to eat their turkey dinner before Thanksgiving day. It was superb!! All the trimmings were delicious. Hillary and Leslie were wonderful, catering to all our needs. I would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Souvenirs are cute.“

“stopped in for lunch after arriving in town. Delinah was exceptional. She had a smile and attention to detail for menu items was pleasurable. It is nice to see someone excited to be working and enjoy the surroundings.“

“Muy bueno y lugar agradable“

“El Divino is one of our very favorite places to eat. The food and drinks are consistently excellent (since 2013!) and the restaurant is beautiful with a separate room for private functions. The fillet and Brussels sprouts are the best in McAllen and the burger is very good - it’s the dish visiting friends remember when we take them there. Make sure to ask for Jess, our favorite server, for a great dining experience. She always remembers our drink order, makes us feel so welcome, and is a huge part of why we keep coming back.“

“But not the drive-thru... it's always been a good restaurant, but the morning drive-thru is disappointing. It took 32 minutes for a sandwich, I had to move to the parking lot and go in and get it. (The sandwich and coffee were good, but cost $13.10.)“

“I've never met them, but through some business dealings I learned that the owner of this place is, I think, a 2nd generation restaurant owner and from everything I've seen and heard, they are really good people. The food is great quality and the prices are totally decent. This place is definitely worth a try.“

“comida rica y productos de calidad en su tienda“

“Ok. So we went to Red Lobster to try their new seafood boil bag. We've been loyal Mr Crabbys seafood boil bag customers for 5 years. Finding really great seafood outside of NH is hard. So hard..... Until now. The RL boil bag is far superior. Here's why: 1. The seasoning is just right. Choice of garlic & butter or Cajun. Got the Cajun- because that's the only seasoning in a proper boil bag that's acceptable. 1a. The seasoning is far better as it's not drowning in oil- causing constant crab splatters. 1b. The seasoning does not overpower the taste of the seafood like Mr Crabbys does. You can actually taste the lobster- shrimp and crab. 2. The bag comes with 6 more shrimp (12 total) than Mr Crabbys 6. The lobster tail is split fully in half rather than just slashed down the top spine- making it difficult at Mr Crabbys to pull the meat out in one swipe. (That's what she said) 3. The bag does NOT come with sausage if you order the Mariners Bag. However it can be added. Here's the closer- it's REAL Andouille sausage- not kielbasa. Me Crabbys has been using kielbasa the last few times we went. If you know the difference in flavor- you'll understand why this matters. 4. I wore my bib cuz I'm accustomed to having the food drip all over me as I crack and work for my reward. It was not needed. Even with dumping the bag into the tray- it was not over saturated in oil- but rather delicately seasoned with butter. Over all- we have a new Sunday Boil Bag date location. I never thought I'd stray from Mr Crabbys- but shockingly- Red Lobster has become the affair worth having. They did good with hiring this new CEO who brought this brain child to my beloved Maine lobster Locale here in the Deep South. If yall see this- please- from this coastal New England girl trying to get a nut in the RGV.....don't ever drop this from the menu. Sincerely Your newest fan.“

“We are new to the Valley and are searching the little gems. We found one at Santa Fe. The steaks were great. My spouse had the filet, cooked to perfection medium rare and velvet smooth. I went for the ribeye. Same results, perfectly cooked. Both steaks had flame char. Our server, Poppy, was divine. She was so helpful and attentive. We will be back.“

“Felicidades Rodolfo y a tu esposa , es para el publico o solo socios del club“

“Muy rico, tranquilo, la atención excelente por parte de nuestra mesera Lety.“

“I will definitely visit again. The service, food and cocktails were all outstanding.“

“Go there all the time. Desserei always takes care of me. Never fails to be attentative to me and my friends. Always there when we’re ready to order another round. Pool is always a blast there and the music is always on beat to get the crowd going.“

“We cannot recommend enough! Chantelle & Ethan at the bar were so welcoming and made the absolute best recommendations for both food & drinks. The homemade pasta is something you dream of.“

“The service was excellent, Tony was great. The atmosphere was top notch. The food was outstanding. It was our anniversary and they treated us with a card, sprinkled hearts on the table and a complimentary piece of red velvet cheesecake. We will be returning.“

“Me encanta y es muy saludable y aparte las chicas son muy amables. Todo en excelencia.“

“Absolutely loved it, can’t wait for the next time I go back“

“This is my new favorite snack place, they don't gouge you on prices the food was fresh and tasty , I ordered a he nachos with extra jalapenos, small elote cup, and a cherry rasps fornall three it was around $8 but i left a tip because the service was that good. Highly reccomend.“

“I ordered combo #1, a sandwich, soup, and a drink very delicious for the sandwich I got the chicken with grapes very delicious with a side of Chipotle sauce nice combination for the soup I got fideo and for the drink I got a agua fresca melon flavor my family loves this place“

“Yes, it's Applebee's, but there's something nostalgic about the old interior that almost transports you back to the 2000s. And for that, it wins in my book. Even if the only thing I really enjoy is the pecan butter Blondie. It's a classic location and I like that they've kept the old feel. The staff is really nice too, which is always a plus. Good for some drinks and appetizers, the occasional dessert.“

“This is our third time here. The wait to be seated was 15 min, which was fine. The waiter and I couldn't hear each other. There were so many tvs going with different programs. One is enough? The service was great, and the food came out in a timely manner even though it was a busy Friday night.
We ordered:
1. Queso dip - good, but order with no tortillas and more chips.
2. Burger - good as expected
3. Cobb salad with shrimp- good, but the shrimp were overcooked.
4. Lava cake - the best“

“Amazing food and service!!!“

“Best Reuben I’ve ever had!!“

“la carne y el pan con mantequilla“

“I love this Italian restaurant. A little pricey but food portions are so generous, fresh and delicious. Their bread needs a revisit. It does not match the rest of the menu for flavor or freshness. I have several favorites but love the Pancetta Carbonara.“

“The food was excellent and our server was awesome! Celebrating me with a few friend. May is my birthday month. so I should be there with other friends celebrating life.“

“My family and I were thoroughly impressed with this establishment. If you're considering a visit to indulge in exceptional wings, this is the ideal destination. The service was outstanding and courteous. Beverages were consistently delivered in a timely manner, and I highly recommend requesting Crystal as your server, as she expertly handled our orders. She is, without a doubt, an exceptional server.“

“We love coming here whether it be for brunch, to watch a game, or for the night life. The food is amazing and the music is always good. The server Mike is very friendly and attentive! Never a disappointment coming here :)“

“We had an amazing time celebrating our daughter's 13th bday. The service was extremely attentive, the food delicious, and the desserts were spot on. The atmosphere is to a perfect point that you can enjoy the music while also able to talk without the need to yell. We will definitely come back and treat us to a mom-dad date night.“

“Great food and always a great experience“

“76 bar and kitchen was kind enough to allow us to have our watch party for the SF 49ers game tonight. They had a lot of great prices on food and drinks as well door prizes and games.“

“I was very disappointed so many items have been removed from the menu , my favorite chicken fried chicken is gone & the mashed pots, no more gravy, what??“

“😍great food I eat here all the time food is always good. never disappointed“

“We shared a Mariner's Boil and side of delicious brussel sprouts and enjoyed every last bit of it!!
The meal was enough for two adults. Maya was an excellent server who tended to all our requests. The restaurant was nice and clean with soft music playing in the background. Definate will return.“

“Our server, Omar, was extremely attentive and very kind. The food and drinks were FABULOUS!“

“The staff is always amazing! Jorge especially is always so attentive and accommodating. Facilities are always so clean and the gaming is phenomenal. Not to mention athletic game days/ fight nights on their screens. This place is perfect for both children and adults to enjoy literally Monday through Sunday (AKA EVERY SINGLE DAY). Would recommend 100%!!!!!“

“My fav place. I visit from out of town often and here, there's always a good time. So much performing talent in mcallen! It feels like a non judgemental encouraging and lively atmosphere. Service is friendly and so are the patrons. Come here for a good time!!🥳🥳“

“the valentines tacos were so good and the heart churros as well. Our server Cynthia was kind and her service was a 10/10 😮‍💨 had such a good attitude🫶🏻“

“The rotisserie chicken was delicious and very flavorful. The mac and cheese was delicious as well. The Mexican corn was a little watery and needed more cheese and cilantro. Over all it was a delicious meal and while I'm in town I'll be back.“

“amazing brother fast service never disappoint“

“For those who are not familiar with McAllen Downtown. Thirsty and Suerte (The Bar next to it) are connected which is why you get food there. Thirsty is also sponsored by Jägermeister which is why the jägerbombs are 2 bucks. The patio outside is nice and chill. In all it's a place to get a quick shot and continue bar hopping“

“I dined at this location tonight, and immediately had to write this review. I am not normally a steak person but I wanted to try something new and was very pleasantly surprised! My server was Gabby and she made my experience 100 times better. One of the most attentive servers I have had the privilege of meeting. Food was very good, and Gabby made sure of it! Awesome service!!!“
