“Great food and unbelievable good service“

“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“

“Went to Culver’s and really enjoyed it. The burger was juicy and the buttered bun made it stand out. Fries came out hot and crispy, and the cheese curds were hands down my favorite—super crunchy and tasty. I tried the custard with cereal on top and it was surprisingly really good, kind of like a fun little treat.

Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the place was clean. Prices are a bit higher than regular fast food, but honestly worth it“

DEFINITELY NOT bland, presentation was perfect, portions were HUGE!!“

The venue is beautiful, but it’s the people that truly make it shine. We also had the opportunity to host an awards show there through their work with local nonprofits, and the evening was nothing short of incredible. The support from ownership and staff played a huge role in making it a success. Grateful to have a place like Gather right in the heart of McKinney!“

On this visit she was attentive and very accommodating. She is an incredibly valuable asset to IHOP!“

“The food was pretty good for a fast casual chain. It was far better than most Chili's experiences. The location is well kept and clean. The burgers were well prepared. The service was average. Had to ask the manager for drink refills. However, our server was very friendly. Overall, it was a good visit and would definitely return when visiting the area.“

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

“Porshala was a great server!!!!“

“Noone knew how to make a freeze. I was asked what I wanted in it. Maybe the employees should know what is on their menu. We had to wait a while before we were even helped. No one was in line before us either. The poor little girl that was helping us kept asking for help and no one would help her or tell her how to make the dang freeze. Another customer finally told her. Management needs to ensure better training and maybe some training in customer service.“

“It’s our go to place for drinks 🍹 and dinner 🍽“

“We’ve been to the McKinney quite a few times since it opened and have never had an unpleasant experience. My children will actually pick this when given in the options to where we can dine at.
The food is always amazing, service friendly, and wait time never more then 15 minutes. For my husband, two sons and myself we usually spend about 60 to 75 bucks. That’s 4 burgers, 2 sides, one drink, and a shake.
They do have a drive thru but we always choose to dine in.“

“1st time dining there. So thankful we were able to get reservations for our large party. Service was fantastic! Attentive and friendly staff. Then the food and drinks: Absolutely delicious! my ribeye was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the Brussel sprouts, deviled eggs, sugarbacon, asparagus ,and spicy pimento cheese were amazing! We were trying each other's dishes and they were all tasty. Cocktails were great! Will definitely come back and will also recommend.“

“During my visit to this local Hooters, I had the pleasure of being served by a fit, blonde-haired, blue-eyed server named Hailey. 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!“
