Dining at Harvest at Masonic was an experience that truly exceeded expectations from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance struck the perfect balance between warm and inviting yet refined. The space feels thoughtfully designed lively enough to feel energetic, but intimate enough to enjoy conversation comfortably.
The service was exceptional. Our server was not only attentive but genuinely engaged. Every question we had about the menu was answered with enthusiasm and deep knowledge. You could tell they truly understood the dishes and cared about guiding us toward the best experience possible. The pacing of the meal was also spot-on we never felt rushed, yet everything arrived seamlessly.
Now, the food. Absolutely outstanding.
We began with the shrimp starter, which immediately set the tone for the evening. The shrimp were cooked perfectly tender with just the right snap and layered with flavors that felt both vibrant and balanced. The salad that accompanied the dish wasn’t an afterthought; it complemented the shrimp beautifully, adding freshness and texture that elevated the entire plate.
The seasonal dip was one of the biggest surprises of the night. It’s amazing what the chefs can do with fresh vegetables. What could have been a simple starter was transformed into something creative and memorable beautifully presented, deeply flavorful, and genuinely impressive. It felt inventive without being pretentious, which is a rare balance.
The crispy chicken with collard green sauce was another star of the meal. The chicken itself was golden and perfectly crisp on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. The collard green sauce added depth and a slight earthiness that tied everything together in such a thoughtful way. The flavors complemented each other effortlessly each bite was comforting yet elevated.
The drinks were just as carefully crafted. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Old Fashioned smooth, balanced, and expertly made. I tried both mocktails on the menu, and they were equally impressive. They weren’t overly sweet like many non-alcoholic options tend to be instead, they were complex, refreshing, and clearly given just as much attention as the cocktails.
What truly sets Harvest apart is how everything comes together the ambiance, the attentive and knowledgeable service, and food that feels both seasonal and inspired. It’s rare to leave a restaurant already planning your next visit, but that’s exactly how we felt.
This place has absolutely earned a spot at the top of our list, and I can’t wait to return.

Our waitress was great. The food was flavorless. The band was so loud we couldn't hear each other.

Celebrated 3 birthdays on a Saturday night on the second floor. Food was wonderful. I had pork loin, super tender. Seasonal dips was very tasty, served with fabulous chips. Our server was GREAT. Porshe took care of us very well. We were a party of 10, never needed anything, she anticipated our every need. We will return!

So good! The service itself is enough for me to go back. I thought the staff was very very good at the presentation of the menu as well as offering smart wine pairings. The food also crushes but damn the staff is good!

Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day Brunch. They called me to confirm and I confirmed. Get another call early AM Valentine’s Day saying if I don’t confirm immediately they’ll let my table go to the waitlist, I called back to confirm, no answer. Turned up unsure if we still had a table or not to find the place pretty dead, at least 3 tables next to us completely empty for the majority of the time we were there.
The food was meh, main course was ok. The chicken fried steak was drowning in gravy and the hash browns were dripping in oil. Aside from that not sure how wrong you can go with steak and eggs, it was fine. The chocolate orange dessert had the texture of scrambled egg and a soggy base, there wasn’t a hint of orange in it, the “mousse” was more like chocolate pudding dumped on top, two of the cocktails were undrinkable, we told our server and she said sorry but that was it.
Overall it was disappointing and with so many food options in downtown McKinney we probably wouldn’t bother with Harvest again. I also don’t like the policy of calling multiple times to confirm and leaving voicemails saying they’ll have to give the table away. I really didn’t want to spend my morning attempting to get through to a restaurant to confirm a table I’ve already confirmed.

Wow. Blown away by the recommendation to come here. We sat on the third floor and loved the ambient lighting. Our server was kind and gave wonderful recommendations. We will certainly come back and try the rest of the menu. I left fully satiated and happy to have found a new go to restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful experience
This was such a cool space. Our large party booked the third floor on a live music night. Great ambiance and amazing people watching. The cocktail selection was great and so were the NA options. My favorite app was the carrot hummus. Who knew? Literally could have eaten that as my entree.

I felt the need to update and delete my prior review after speaking with the owner of Harvest over our last experience. We are understanding things happen and every opportunity is a learning experience for employees. Rick was gracious and Kind and invited my wife and I back personally. I am sure we will have a great experience and will continue to come to Harvest for years to come. This is how companies and businesses should treat their clients and customers. Thank you Rick.
