6 Best Southern Restaurants near Mckinney

“I was truly impressed by this restaurant. The staff was amazing; they were helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The sandwich is ordered was delicious, and I wish I had more of the cookies. The restaurant itself was clean with a welcoming atmosphere. This was a great experience overall!“

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

“Wonderful place to go! Love the food and the drinks hands down a great place to visit in downtown McKinney!“

“We went to Kelly's last night for a Birthday Party. Food was great! Our service was unbelievably fast and accurate. Jordan was our server. Thank You for a wonderful evening!“

“Sally at the front was so patient with my kids while they selected a toy. She took her time and didn’t rush them. What a kind heart and an asset to have as an employee. The rating system upon checkout only gave an option to rate my experience at a 9, but it was a 10/10 no notes!“

“We decided to eat here because another place nearby had a 45-minute wait. I'm glad we did. The wait time from arrival to being seated was maybe 4 minutes, and we did not get Quasimodo'd.
I had the chicken fried steak (pictured), and it was delicious. I also had the strawberry lemonade, which I highly recommend. However, the straws you serve with it should be boba straws so ye can slurp down the chunks of strawberries.
All in all the food was good the service was good, and the prices were fair. I recommend Cheddars.

8/9/2026 - Had lunch today at Cheddar's. We ordered the Sampler Appetizer (Queso Fries, Cheddar Bites, and Chicken Tenders). My wife ordered the Garlic Herb Chicken, and i ordered the Monte Cristo Sandwich. Our meals and the Appetizer were delicious. Our server was very friendly and took care of us quickly and efficiently. Im just sorry I didn't get her name.
All in all, I still think Cheddar's is a great restaurant.“
