The food here was tasty, and the option to mix and match 2 items is great - but by far the most phenomenal was the service. I have to applaud our server, who was so friendly, asked about any/all accommodations needed, routinely checked in on us, and had an overall very enthusiastic attitude. Absolute kudos to not only the food but the customer experience here. read more

54th Street Restaurant & Drafthouse - this and that (sandwich and baked potato soup) - Bars Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Very, very unfortunate what has happened to 54th Street. My family and I used to come here every other week, and it was one of our favorite places for family dinners. We always looked forward to ordering the crab cakes and calamari, but the quality of the food and portion sizes have changed drastically. The crab cakes were especially disappointing. You now receive two very small, heavily breaded crab cakes that no longer have the same flavor or quality they once did. The corn succotash served alongside them was overwhelmingly vinegary and difficult to eat. Next came the calamari appetizer, which was just as disappointing. It was over-fried with an extremely hard breading, and the calamari itself had a strange, spongy texture. It honestly tasted similar to imitation crab meat, which I didn't even think was possible for calamari. It was very unpleasant and not at all what we've experienced here in the past. This used to be our go-to spot because we genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere and the waiting staff, we've built great relationships with a few of them. The drinks are still good, and the overall vibe of the restaurant remains enjoyable. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I'm not sure we're willing to give it another chance unless things return to the quality they once had. Considering the price we paid compared to the food we received, we were so disappointed that we decided not to order our entrées. Instead, we wrapped up our meal and headed to Brass Tap House. It's sad to see such a noticeable decline at a place our family used to love so much. read more

We sat at the bar and had a tremendous meal with service to match. Atmosphere and presentation of the appetizer and meal were top notch. We had the Buffalo wings as an appetizer and then ordered the Cajun ribeyes, one with grilled veggies and steamed broccolini and the other with roasted Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. The staff works together as a unified team to ensure the VIP experience is felt by all patrons. We will be back soon! read more

This is one of my semi regular stops for lunch if I'm in the area for work. I typically order the same thing because it is just that good. I get their lunch special of chicken salad sandwich and chicken tortilla soup. The soup is a big bowl instead of a the small cup most places give you. The chicken salad is one of my favorites. I could just eat it by the spoonful. When I have ventured to something else, their burger always hits the spot. It is cooked to your specifications and comes out juicy. The chicken fried chicken is also good. The one must have I always order, always, is their fried pickles. They have a coating on that I swear tastes like nacho cheese Dorritos and I can eat a whole order myself. Service is always quick and friendly. The gentleman at the host stand knows I always prefer a booth and takes me to one without having to ask anymore. Also a great place for happy hour. My lack of pictures is only because I devour all of my food before even thinking about taking a picture! read more

Went there on 6/30/26. Very disappointed with the "SPINACH + ARTICHOKE CREAM PASTA CHICKEN & SHRIMP." The food came warm not hot, and dry with hardly any sauce, it was like cardboard. It seemed previously cooked, not fresh. My partner ordered country fried steak and he loved it. I asked for more sauce, but it didn't help. I should have returned it for a different menu item, but I had already eaten a 1/4 of it. And it left an aftertaste even after I was home. Italian food is clearly not their specialty. read more

This was our go to to take family because it has a menu for everyone. Last night's dinner visit was way down on our place to go for family of 7 dinner. Did a wait list fir the max 6 guests and we still waited 10-15 mins to be seated even though the restaurant was less than half full. The waiter wasn't very clean looking. We waited at least 30-40 mins for our food and the quality of our usual shrooms, Havana club, chicken fried steak and fish tacos were all not hot and didn't taste as good as in the past. Very disappointed that the service and food quality has gone way down. read more

This restaurant became one of our favorites from the moment we walked in. Their menu is extensive, so we need to return to try something else. I got the Triple Stacked Club Sandwich, prepared with the thickest slices of bacon I can remember having. It was delicious. And my wife ordered the California Bleu Chicken Salad: big portions, fantastic taste, and impeccable service. We will definitely come back. read more

I stopped here one night to get a sandwich and a beer, nice enough atmosphere, sports bar type feeling, the beer was excellent, a dos Equis Amber. I got the French dip which was $20, which I understand is the new normal, as prices have gone up. But there was something about the flavor of the French dip that was off a little bit, I don't know if it's a spice or if it was the type of cheese, and it was much smaller than French dip sandwiches I've had from any other restaurant. Overall service was good, ambience is nice, but the food was so-so for the price. read more

The broccoli was terrible as if it was old and just warmed in the microwave, the calamari was sub par. And the mashed potatoes were flavorless. It was all very underwhelming. The staff was nice though. There were also no cocktail straws so we had to use very tall straws for very short water glasses. It was odd and awkward. read more

Favorite for in town shopping! We often end up in the Costco area of McKinney and love this restaurant. Today I tried the chicken Bocatini and my mother had the Lieutenant Dan fried shrimp. We also got the bread and butter appetizer as well as they fried pickles. NewYork cheesecake!!! Yummy! Everything was delicious. The restrooms were clean and our waitress was friendly and efficient. I do have to say that my husband was not thrilled with the flavor of the cheeseburger. He thought it needed a bit more seasoning. read more

Had a great night here tonight. Buffalo wings were perfect. Shrooms could've used more time because they were lukewarm but they were super delicious. Adult mac n cheese was very good. Island martini was best I've ever had!! Staff were all sweet. No 5 star because the shrooms were under-done and no plates were brought with the shrooms. Entrees were delicious, too! read more

The tater kegs are TO DIE FOR! Loaded baked potato soap is yummy also. This is the perfect place for staple bar food and a good drink while you watch the game read more

This visit was very average. Drinks 3 Stars Food 3 Stars Ambiance 4 Stars Waitress 4 Stars The rattle snake pasta was lacking in flavor. It was hot and had good heat, but no seasoning. It was lackluster. Margarita was pretty good, bloody hacienda was a bit bitter. It comes with bitters, but might have been overdone. Waitress was pleasant and sweet. Ambiance is always cool and fun. Overall it was ok I have had better experiences with food and drinks. Hoping next visit will be better. read more

The food is truly tasty! My husband and I both had the chicken fried chicken and our friend had a pasta dish. These are the lunch portions....but for us it will be lunch and dinner. I had the mashed potatoes and grilled veggies and my husband had the grilled asparagus and Brussels sprouts. Comes with a huge cheddar bay biscuit. The host was helpful getting us situated, which can be challenging. Our waitress, Dakota, was pleasant and friendly. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean. read more

The food is good every time I have been here. 6 times now in over 2 years. Always different servers. We sit in a different location of the restaurant every time as well. This last time, mouth watering good. I had a spinach, shrimp, chicken pasta dish.... Oh my WORD WAS IT GOOD! Hubby had a club sandwich. He said it was very good. Blue moon on tap is refreshing. We have had the nachos, they are also good. The entrées are good. Can't go wrong. Price point for food and drinks are good. read more

Our first time here, and it did not disappoint. We had the tequila wrappers for an appetizer and they were a solid 8.5/10. My wife had the southwest chicken wrap, and it was AWESOME. 9/10 I had the Havana Club and it was also amazing. 9/10 We followed it up with a key lime pie to share and it was also amazing. 8.5/10 The restaurant itself looked and felt great as well. Music not too loud, and plenty of TV's to watch football while we ate. The manager Josh, and waitress Ella were fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

Even though we've passed by this restaurant many times over the past few years, today we decided to give it a try. I was impressed by the kind hospitality that began the minute we walked up to the door. We were greeted by the hostess who held the door open for us. We were seated and it didn't take long for our server to come over and get us started on our lunch. Beer and a burger sounded great! The pilsner we chose was cold and tasted great. The burgers were not skimpy and the fries were seasoned perfectly. Our server was attentive and pleasant. We have been to Union Bear, which I think is a comparable restaurant, but we stopped going there due to the very loud noise level and the inability to carry on a conversation without yelling, whether inside, outside or at the bar. 54th has that issue covered. The acoustics are such that the background music can be heard but it doesn't interfere with people talking and enjoying each other's conversations. Extremely loud establishments are a deal breaker for me. Will definitely return! A very pleasant visit! read more

Ordered Chicken Fried Steak from Uber Eats- with mashed potatoes and soup. No soup. Second time in two weeks. Slow down and check the ORDERS!! read more

The ambiance here is definitely inviting--there's quirky art and decor everywhere, making it fun to look around as soon as you walk in. The staff was really friendly and attentive, but I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of my experience overall. We started with the cheddar biscuits, which were $2 each. They were big and fluffy, but a bit dry and not quite worth the price in my opinion. Definitely not the buttery goodness I expected, like Red Lobster's. We also tried the "Fry Me Some Cheese" appetizer. It was okay, but I thought the parmesan on the marinara was a little heavy--it's just a personal preference, though. My boyfriend loved his burger, but I didn't enjoy the Southwest Chicken Wrap. The dressing was really watery, and it made the tortilla strips soggy, so I wasn't too impressed. On the bright side, the fries were delicious, and the ranch was spot on! All in all, I didn't love the place. It might just be my taste, but I'm not sure I'd be rushing back anytime soon. read more

54th Street Restaurant & Drafthouse - potato soup & turkey sandwich - Bars Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Food is good but if you are planning to go there to watch local sports, such as the Dallas Stars playoffs,don't. We went last year to watch a playoff game with some friends. I asked the waiter if they would put the game on the house speakers. No other major sports was on. She said she would have to ask her manager. The manager said they called their boss and was told "no". She said she was told if it were the Cowboys then they would have accommodated. Guess who is NOT taking their Stars game watching party to 54th Street? read more

Food has gone downhill since first opening. We always say that we will never comeback as it's been a bad experience the past 3 times. Today was the final nail. Bartender was extremely slow and poor attitude when I asked to get a drink at my table. Couple next to us got up and walked out because they sat for 10 minutes. Lastly the food I ordered was incorrect. Very poor experience. read more

Food was good, but the tables didn't line up, and it caused a glass to fall and break and cut a party member's hand in 2 places. Manager never came by, and nothing was comped, even though glass ended up in the food and had to be remade. Salad came out for 1 diner, then the main courses came out 3 minutes later. Would have liked them to space things out a bit more. They cleaned up the glass, but they never cared beyond that. Best thing about this place is the heavy pour on the cocktails. read more

54th Street Restaurant & Drafthouse - McKinney, TX - Never Again This place is a complete disaster. I strongly advise you DO NOT eat at 54th Street Restaurant & Drafthouse in McKinney. I had dinner there tonight and ended up with a nasty case of food poisoning. Whatever they served was clearly unsafe and should've never left the kitchen. It's absolutely unacceptable. This isn't just bad service--it's a health risk. I'm done with this place, and you should be too. read more

Ok. So we have eaten here a few times over the years and our expectations were low however they outdid themselves. The servers (at least 2)have long hair completely all over the place to the point of having to constantly flick it back out of their face, then menus being taken from a Not joking! We didn't expect the food to be great or the service to be very good( they forgot a salad) but the lack of basic health and sanitation is simply ridiculous. Nice job with the managing of the staff! read more

Overall we had a pretty good experience here! Our wait was incredibly sweet and was so attentive to our big group. They had so many options of things to eat and the price wasn't too bad either. It was very clean and the food was pretty good as well. We had the nachos which we devoured and I had the chicken tortilla soup. My only complaint was the soup was a little cold but it still tasted pretty good. Not a bad place to go out for a quick celebration or a family dinner! read more

when you walk into this place, it seems so nice and smells so good. Your mouth starts watering immediately. It's very inviting, but it is quite loud so if you're trying to have a conversation, it's not the place to go. It is the place to go if you want to watch the game have a good food be loud if you want to be and have fun. The service is good but could be better. That's really not their fault. It's because they're so busy. There's probably too many tables at this place as there's not easy to walk around especially if you're picking up to go. It's very packed. But it's worth it but it's expensive so get ready to pay in my mind. It's a bit more expensive than it should be but still good. read more

Not sure why this place isn't rated higher! Our 2nd visit. Came in hungry and in our football attire to watch the game. We asked for a table by a tv, then they were quick to change the channel to our game. Hubby loves the all American burger, and we tried the onion rings this time - so good! I had the grilled chicken avocado sandwich which turned into a knife and fork meal, but very tasty! Swirl margaritas are on point! Fun place, great atmosphere and great service! read more

It's a good place to come with friends the atmosphere is creative and pleasing, The staff have always been kind and intriguing, The food is a bit pricey, if you come here get yourself the ordinary bar food! Amazing appetizers and Great burgers the other dishes could use more attention but they are still decent. I do recommend the place if you have any hangouts coming up! read more

My family liked the food that they ordered . Boneless chicken wings with buffalo sauce tasted really good and had the right amount of spice. I like the fried pickle appetizer and the Brussels sprout side with the feta cheese, it was very delicious. White Sangria drink was not bad either, I can taste the hint of mango and coconut. I also ordered the chicken tortilla soup ( it was okay but was not the best, it tasted very "beanie" like having refried beans). The service was top notch. Anastasia our server made sure we got taken care of and we didn't wait a long time when we needed something. The place surprisingly was not that noisy despite the nice music playing in the background we were still able to talk easily without shouting. We would definitely come back, my family likes the place. read more

I'm giving this a Five star review because we have been there twice in the past month and we were not disappointed. The ambience is great. It's clean and inviting. Our service has been on point each time. My wife is a very plain, picky eater so when we ask to make adjustments to our order they have been very obliging. I ordered the smash burger and it comes just the way I like them. They have that crust or crispy edge. Very flavorful and delicious. Instead of fries I order a side salad. That salad is as good or better than this genre of restaurants I have been to. My wife ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich and she loved it. There lunch menu is incredible. M-F they have 10 dollar lunch specials too. Always welcoming and always consistent. We will be back! read more

I would give zero if possible. Ever time we come our food is cold! Then they make excuses!

Was expecting bar food but it was actually really good. Service was good also. No ice in my water though.

What can you say, it's a big pub chain. Nothing horrible, nothing to write home about. Great place to go with the sports teams after tournaments . Lots of TV screens to watch games. The burger is fine, the prime rib sandwich is fine, the club sandwich is fine. read more

Best chips and queso blanco ever. All the appetizers are good! And food. Happy hr is such a great deal. You get a big marg for $5.

this was my first time here, and i honestly thought it was going to be good because they had a full house for a friday night. spoiler alert: we were wrong so they sat us down and it took a hot minute for the server to come. we ordered all of our food, and then took a sip of the water. it tasted foul. it had a super metal-y taste and we were so thirsty we just shot the water down. i ordered the cherry cream soda, and when i received it, i thought it was weird that it had a yellowish color. usually artificial cherry products are red. the server than asks me to try it bc it might be wrong and they would have to change the valve. i tried it and i told her it probably tasted right. and she said okay and left. i told her i had never tried something like this before, so i was very confused as to why she would have me try something that might not even be correct?? usually as a server, i would try it myself if it looked suspicious. the entire exchange just made me uncomfortable. then we received our fried pickles. these were the BEST fried pickles that ive ever had in my entire life. they were juicy, thick, and the batter was PERFECT with the pickles. this is probably the only thing i would come back for. then we received our entrees. we got our food but no napkins or utensils. we then had to flag our server down to get us some. usually this is one of the first things a server brings to the table. at this point we did not have a good opinion on this establishment. the food also looked subpar. the burger looked super dry, and the pasta looked like something out of a college dorm. they also did not ask us how we would like it to be cooked. the pasta was a bit better than cheesecake factory, but it was under-seasoned. the best part was the garlic bread. the burger was super dry and the only good part was the french fries. my friend theorized that it might have been because we were younger patrons that we were being treated this way. we then closed out our check and headed to the bar. it took a minute for them to get to us, and the guy next to us told us we probably have to wave the bartender down as they were not very good at their job. we got the painkiller, and it is more juice than alcohol. but personally i dont like alcohol that much. presentation wise it was not the same as the picture online but at least the drink tasted good. read more

Sat at the bar, didn't want to wait 10 minutes for a table. First - Don't miss the brussels sprouts! We did the dinner for 2: Fried cheese - meh, frozen mozzarella strips...

Sprouts 10 out of 10 Cheesecake to go with strawberry and chocolate sauce, delicious. 2 margarita, full glass servings, bigger than expected.
