“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! I loved the Sea Bass! For dessert, we were treated to Chocolate Cake and Key Lime Pie! I can’t wait to go back!“

“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“

“This is one of my go-to places in the area. The main reason I always return - ORLANDO. He is one of the OG staff that makes me want to go back. Not sure what you want to drink that night? Ask Orlando. Long day and need to smile? Ask Orlando. Starving and everything looks good? Ask Orlando. Yes, the food is good Yes, the drinks are good (my fave is the Purple Duck). But - secretly - why do my friends and I go? To hang with Orlando! 🥰“

“We had our sons birthday party at the McKinney location. The staff was absolutely amazing! They had our food ready for us, made sure it was set up & checked on us throughout the party. The food was perfect, the kids loved the playground & they had the heaters on outside due to cold weather. Great atmosphere for any meal.“

“Just watched the cook on duty cook in the most phenomenal way! She cooks as if she’s an octopus! She was working that grill and fixing plates, cleaning the grill and after herself like I haven’t witnessed in my 55 years, all while remaining calm as ever! Multitasking at its finest and my meal was DELICIOUS!!!“

She was incredibly attentive and greeted us with a warm smile right from the start. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the lively atmosphere, and the exceptional service provided by Hailey. I’ll definitely be returning every time I’m in the area!“

“Shake Shack McKinney hits the spot every single time. The food is top-notch—burgers juicy enough to make you rethink your life choices and crinkle-cut fries that are always crispy and golden. And don’t even get me started on the shakes; they’re basically dessert in a cup and worth every calorie.

Service here is fast and friendly, even when the place is packed. The staff keeps things moving without making you feel rushed, and they always greet you with a smile. The atmosphere? Perfect mix of casual and lively. It’s the kind of place where you can chill with friends or take the family out for a treat.

Whether you dine in, take out, or grab delivery, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommend if you’re craving a solid burger and a great experience.“
