50 Best American Restaurants in Mckinney

“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“

“11/17 is our favorite!!! We love the cheese sticks, the boneless wings, and the steak fingers most of all! Delicious drinks too. It’s definitely our happy place.“

“Undeniably the best pancakes I've ever had! Everything was so fresh and delicious. That, combined with the welcoming and friendly staff and atmosphere, made for the best experience!

“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!“

“Wonderful family atmosphere with the adult side being very enjoyable as well. Staff is always so friendly and give great recommendations.“

“We have been on the hunt for a breakfast place closer to home and we have found it! It is a beautiful upscale brunch place with a bar, with excellent food and over the top service. 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!“

“Service and food were TOP NOTCH! I got Surf and Turf Filet / Scallops, and M'lady got Scallops, Scallops, Scallops! So good! We got seated quickly by being flexible to bar seating, even though the place was hoppin and on a wait! Bar seating was a perfectly comfortable table. Will be back!“

“A group of friends/neighbors went to the Corral Grill Monday night for BBQ night. Warm greeting upon arrival and server was right there with menus and to take drink order. Options on this special theme night were all excellent and served quickly. Another great experience thanks to the servers, managers, staff, and chefs“

“We absolutely loved the food and their vibe! We got the chicken salad and it was SO GOOD! Our waitress was Kimberly and she was amazing and so attentive! We will definitely be back!“

“Their menu is wild. I tried the fried shrimp and the fried rice. Both were amazing. The fried shrimp were perfect. Just wish they had a better tasting sauce other than the sweet sauce I got. The fried rice was great. The fries are well seasoned but some are a little soggy. I'm going to work my way through the menu. It's worth a trip. Keep in mind there's no way to eat so you're eating in your car or taking it home,“

“Kim L our Server was so nice and gave us a complementary appetizer to start she welcome us to Delaney’s– because we never been here we ordered the Guinness stew it was delicious will be back again we can’t wait to try some more favorites!“

“The Yard McKinney completely exceeded our expectations. Kyle, went above and beyond in every way, from taking incredible care of us to surprising us with extras and even bringing out vegan mayo for us to try. Truly next level. The atmosphere is beautiful, the music is perfect, the entire staff and concept are just amazing, and I love that they’re pet-friendly too. 🐾 Thanks so much for such a great experience! ❤🥹✨“

“My daughter and I were able to eat gluten free and it was one of the best GF buns and the fries and milk shakes were soo good.“

“We hosted the wedding of our daughter at Gather just last Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026. We could not have been more thrilled! It is such an elegant venue, feeling so intimate and warm. All the beautiful architecture was icing on the cake with the work the staff did to make it exquisite. This momma heart is full. Thank you so much to Patricia! I watched her work with such detail to ensure everything was perfect. The rest of the staff was amazing, working together to make
Our day perfect! I would recommend Gather to anyway looking for that classy, intimate affair! I cannot thank you enough. I’m
sure the bride will have lots to add when she returns from her honeymoon😍“

“Wow! It’s quaint little place with huge sandwich deliciousness! You have to check out the foodie section! ✔️“

“They were polite, accommodating and delivered fast to our entire staff.“

“Delicious. Healthy. Great Service!“

“All was great! Food, manager and service!“

“I’m so disappointed because this used to be our favorite place. The last few visits, the food has been noticeably subpar. The menu may look the same, but the quality and preparation of items have changed. For example, the crab cake Benedict used to feature homemade crab cakes, and now it’s a fried frozen-style patty. The one-star review is really based on the service experience, and unfortunately it’s the reason we won’t be returning. While waiting for our table, the manager or possible owner was telling single-party guests there was a 30-minute wait, while parties of three or more were being quoted only 10 minutes. An older woman standing there heard him tell the group in front of her 10 minutes right before he told her 30. The more I thought about it afterward, the more disappointed I was that I didn’t speak up in the moment. Treating guests differently based solely on party size is unacceptable and left a very bad impression.“

“We (family of 4 plus 2 grandparents) celebrated a birthday on a Friday night.
Daughter was excited to find salmon on the kids’ menu. Others in the party also had the salmon (either with the mushroom risotto or with the rice and zoodles). The salmon was cooked perfectly! Burgers are also great and so was the pesto primavera (with chicken).

Service was outstanding (thanks, Abby) and the deserts were excellent. We shared the chocolate cake (huge) and the peanut butter pie!

We’ll be back; likely on a Tuesday when the kids eat free!“

“Awesome brunch! Very good service. Don’t miss the mimosas.“

“I’m not one to post reviews for anything but I have to say these may be the best wings I have ever had.
I ordered hot buffalo, medium buffalo, and Parmesan wings and all three were absolutely bomb. I don’t think I’ll be going back to any of the major wing chains like I used to. Can’t wait to show my friends this spot. 10/10!!“

“Vanessa was the best waitress ever, I highly recommend asking for her !“

“We love The Garage!!! Great place with good food and even better service! And they even did a karaoke night which was so much fun! I hope this becomes a regular thing!“

“Awsome food, employees and management. Keep up the great work“

“My first visit on Saturday May 11th is was great was hanging out with family we were celebrating Mother’s Day to our self. When I say the service and food was amazing. And I can’t say enough about our waitress Shelly she was on point. We even had a chance to chat with the general manager Karen she was very nice to take out her time to talk with us. We will be returning as that made our mother’s day so special. Thank you so much Shelly and Karen.“

“The wait staff was very prompt and friendly. Food was delicious 😋“

“Warm and welcoming environment beautiful community good food!“

“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! 🥰“

“Great local place. Great staff and food. We feel like family.“

“Great food with a drive thru...super fast service!! We need you in South Bend, IN“

“Love the experience great food and customer service!“

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!“

“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!!!“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“Today was my first time dining at Keke’s and I can’t wait to go back! The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Everyone is so friendly! Great location and parking setup, so getting in and out is a breeze. Also the finish out on the restaurant is so warm and cozy. The kitchen is viewable through a large window, but not open so you don’t leave smelling like your food. I’ll be back soon to enjoy more of those delectable pancakes! Special thanks to Rosa for making my first visit so enjoyable.“

“Had delivery who ever made the prime rib sandwich is a keeper it’s the best I had. Sometimes it’s hit or miss but tonight it was exceptional. Thank you“

“Awesome customer service😍 Best margaritas!!“

“Porshala was a great server!!!!“

“This is actually my favorite Shake Shack.

It's odd because this is the first ever time I've visited and had an issue (it was really packed and the staff was very much overwhelmed). The night literally got busy right as I got there but as I walked up to check on my order another lady came up and had a missing shake so I double checked my order bc my day had been long but everyone managed to check up on me and make sure I had everything and that I was being helped.

On their best day, they're extremely good. Today wasn't the best circumstances for them but I still felt very helped. I appreciate it.

This continues to be my favorite Shake Shack.“
