“Can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is delicious and the people are truly special. Always a great experience.“

“Service excellent. Everyone was so friendly. We enjoyed a Tomato Basil soup, and grilled cheese. Delicious. Portions were generous. One of the workers was celebrating her birthday and were visited with her and asked what she was going to do special tonight. Wanted to give each worker a huge hug. Definitely going back. These people need pure support.“

“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“

“Classiest fine dining restaurant in McKinney, but with a welcoming, non-pretentious atmosphere. Great for date nights or any day of the week when you want to have a great meal. The menu was creative, but with some classic favorites to choose from as well. The food was extremely tasty, with large enough portions to share. The waitstaff was the icing on the cake. Very attentive and helpful. Centro is one of those places that you leave happy for trying it out, and eager to make it your regular. We will be back! Oh yeah...check out their wine list, you won't be disappointed.“

“Let me start by saying good gollie! This place is excellent. I had the chicken tacos, which were phenomenal, the sauce was killer. Dude even brought me a smoked turkey tamale as an appetizer, for free. If you’re in the area or passing through, definitely worth stopping for.“

“Great food and unbelievable good service“

“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!“

“I highly recommend the Wagyu and The Hamilton.

Vegetarian options: This is a steak joint. Go elsewhere for vegan dishes.

Parking: They have 2 parking lots to choose from. Plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Children not recommended.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

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

“Wow! I have NO IDEA why all the negative reviews (probably just a bunch of city folk whiners). We were very impressed on our first visit. Love small local eats like this. GREAT SERVICE & friendly attentive wait staff!!! Fried pickles, okra, mashed tators, and crow's feet, were all fantastic!! We will definitely be back! DEFINITELY NOT bland, presentation was perfect, portions were HUGE!!“

“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!“

“Delicious food. We love coming here :)“

“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!“

“My Husband & I were hungry, so we wanted to try something different. So, we tried this place. The fries were good. But, I must say that the burger had NO FLAVOR, to me. Not even the Pepper Jack Cheese made it better. Sorry, but, we'll be passing on this burger joint.“

“The most kid-friendly biker bar in America. Great food and a remarkable music program makes it nearly perfect.“

“Jacob the owner was great, Kim ( an employee that's been there for 19 years) awesome and the staff working the fryers very professional. Food was amazing. Had the Philly and wing combo( their mild sauce which they let me try) and order of small fries. They even helped me with the order kiosk since I'm older. I highly recommend this place ( worked in restaurants/ chains for 35* yrs). Try it, enjoy it , and let your neighbors know!!!“

“Great spot! Love the music bingo and karaoke!“

“We had the best date night! The food was delicious. MG took great care of us. She is awesome! We'll ask to sit in her section again next time. :)“

“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!“

“Lot’s of brews and good times!“

“Twin Peaks McKinney is amazing! Faith is a ROCKSTAR!!! And when Juju is there, top tier for those 2. Mia is an asset just like Faith. My only complaint is the bartender Bee, I don't know what she does. She walks around the bar trash talking patrons, making drinks for herself, standing on top of clean glasses and very rarely do I see her make a drink or ask customers if they need anything. Faith and Mia run that show.“

“My 2 sisters and I were travelling back from an adventure and needed a snack. I remembered from when my son went to fire academy this place so we stopped in. Even though it was 2 appetizers they were phenomenal! The full menu is delicious (from past experiences!)“

“Friendly service fun atmosphere excellent food“

“We’ve had the pleasure of attending several events at Gather in Downtown McKinney, and each time we’ve been welcomed with warmth and professionalism. 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!“

“JuBa never fails, pizza is 💯“

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

“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!“

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

“Visited this location on a Saturday morning early around 830am. They were not busy and we were sat immediately. Ordered coffee, which was good and then quickly were greeted by our waiter, Sam. He was prompt, polite, and repeated order. It came out within 10 mins, perfect to our request. Recommend!“

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

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

“Love the experience great food and customer service!“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant, and a huge part of that was the outstanding service. From the moment we were seated, our waiter Milo made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. She was attentive without being overbearing, checked in at all the right times, and was very knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on.

Milo’s positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and elevated the entire meal. It’s clear she takes pride in her work and truly cares about her guests’ experience. The food was delicious, but the exceptional service made the visit memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back and hope to be served by Milo 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!!!“

“Warm and welcoming environment beautiful community good food!“

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

“Awesome customer service😍 Best margaritas!!“

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

“Went to Texas Roadhouse and it totally hit the spot. The rolls with cinnamon butter are dangerously good—I could eat a whole basket by myself. I had the filet medallions, cooked perfectly, super flavorful. The service is always on point. Great spot if you’re craving a solid steak and a laid-back vibe.“

“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“

“All of our food was very delicious and fresh! I really want to shoutout our server Cory who was very accommodating to my son’s allergies. He did not once seem annoyed at our questions and requests (this is very rare unfortunately at most restaurants). I really appreciated when he double checked with the manager on duty to make sure he had a full meal to eat without any of his allergens. The manager Courtney came by our table to check in on us and she was very sweet. We will be back!“

“Dickeys is solid reliable BBQ. It isn't the best in Texas but it's good without the crazy long lines of more trendy places. We went in the afternoon and there was no one else there. I hope it's because we were there during off hours. It's good. I hope it sticks around.“

“Porshala was a great server!!!!“

“Came here to eat with my family. They have kiosk’s inside that you can order from with limited customization.

There are no kids menu items at all so we had to order large adult size portions for our two small children.

Otherwise the food and shakes are really good. more on the pricey side, if you’re coming here with a family.“

“When I first got here, I ate this 3x a day. Lol i literally couldn’t stop. It’s so good.

Milkshakes are unmatched

I can’t control myself enough to even get a picture I devour it in that braums sauce.

I could probably drink the braums sauce.

Literally so good 🤣“

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

“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!“

“We have been holding on to a gift card for years because the Applebee’s service has been terrible. Channa proved us wrong! We came to the location in McKinney, the service was great, our food was hot and delicious and we are happy. Thank you so much, we will be back!
