I went with the meatloaf since I kept seeing people call it the best thing on the menu, and they were right. It came topped with that house glaze and a pile of mashed potatoes, and it honestly tasted like something my grandma would have put in front of me on a Sunday. We also tried the pot roast, which was fall apart tender, and made room for the cobbler at the end even though we were stuffed. Big portions, fair prices, and the service was warm without being over the top. There is a sweet little story behind the name too if you flip the menu over. This has quietly become one of our regular stops in McKinney and I do not see that changing, especially with the great service and atmosphere!

We recently dined at Harvest for a Friday date night and I 10/10 recommend! Our reservations were a…read morebit last minute, so we didn't get there until 8:15pm, but this was kind of nice because the main dining room wasn't very busy. I love the dimmed lights and homey yet upscale feeling this place gives. We had a really amazing server who offered up some great recommendations as first time customers. She had only been there two weeks, but told us she went through a two week training prior so they know their stuff!! Don't be afraid to ask questions. How I would rate our meal: Drinks: I got the amethyst dream and he got the smoke haus. Presentation of both was really nice, enjoyed both drinks but would probably try something different on our next visit. Appetizer: we got the Caesar salad to share. Loved the croutons and the dressing. It seemed a bit small but possibly for one person it would be enough! Entree: I got the crispy chicken breast, the piece of chicken is huge!! All the flavors of the dish come together so well, it's truly one of my most favorite things I've eaten recently! We also tried a side of mashed potatoes which were good and my fiancé got the red fish which he enjoyed. It is pretty light though, so maybe wouldn't recommend if you're REALLY hungry. Dessert: we got the milk and cookies. I wasn't honestly too impressed. I think I expected them to be warmed and gooey and they were not. However reheating the chocolate chip at home was good! For it being a farm to table restaurant, I found the prices to be very reasonable! I already know what I plan to order on our next visit. Also looking forward to bringing some friends/family to the third floor for drinks and live music!

Four of us decided to check out Harvest... Saturday night for the first time. Let's start with the…read moreserver. Adriana was great. Had a really chill vide. Super patient with us, answered all of our questions, made recommendations, and very attentive. Will ask for her again. The menu was a cornucopia of drinks and eats that sound amazing. We had the pimento cheese spread, two orders of the chicken fried steak and two orders of redfish. Everything was spectacular. We can't wait to go try other items on the menu. While waiting for our table we wondered up to the 3rd floor. They had live music. The place was jumping up there. We are going to have to look up who is going to be playing and have another married date night. The only downside to the evening was unfortunately the host at the front door. He was rude and severely lacking in communication skills. If anything else had me "meh" I would have taken stars away but everything else made up for his shortcomings.

I ended up sitting at the bar since it was just me and that was cool. It wasn't crowded at all but it was still early Saturday. Daniel, the bartender was friendly and made sure I was satisfied. Now for the important stuff...the FOOD!!! Blanco sangria 9/10: this was delicious. Great flavor and the apples were super crisp. Would order this again. Chicken and waffles 7/10: I didn't realize this came with eggs and it had an over easy egg on top when it came out. I had to send it back because I don't eat over easy eggs. I did ask for them scrambled and I didn't take a picture of those, but they were really good. They were cooked to perfection. I wasn't a fan of the waffle. It didn't have much flavor and was a little soggy to me. The chicken didn't have much flavor, was slightly overcooked and a little dry. The breading easily came off of the chicken which I didn't care for. Truffle tater tots 8/10: I love tater tots and these did not disappoint. Perfect serving size nice and crispy and a decent amount of the Parmesan cheese on top.

What I…read moreliked about this place is even though it's outdoors, it is mostly covered by trees so it provides a good amount of shade from this hot TX summer heat. My server was Alyssa who was just amazing! She was so sweet and helpful and just had such a great personality and made sure I wasn't forgotten even though I was solo and didn't need much. She constantly checked on me and had great suggestions. If it's your first visit (as it was mine) they give you a free time queso and chips app. So I had that, and also got some of their wings which were delicious and a great portion size. I will definitely be back. It's a great way to spend a nice day and enjoy with friends and/or family.

Union Bear has quickly become one of my favorite spots in downtown McKinney. The fact that they…read morebrew their own beer right there on site is a big part of the draw for me. I am not usually a dark beer guy but the server talked me into their schwarzbier and I ended up ordering a second one. If you are into porters and stouts they have you covered, and if you lean lighter there is plenty on the board too. The food held its own right alongside the beer. I went with the burger and it hit exactly the way a good pub burger should, juicy with a solid char and fries that actually get finished. My wife ordered the pappardelle on a recommendation from the table next to us and she was not sharing much of it, which tells you everything. We started with the chips and queso and cleared the bowl before the entrees even landed. Great vibe inside, big patio, and the service kept our drinks full the whole time. This one is an easy recommend.

Our server was attentive and you could tell that a lot of locals swing by because she knew a lot of people coming in. The seating is first come first serve so be prepared for that. They have patio seating for those that want to enjoy the outside. The inside has a bar and plenty of tables. It can be a tight squeeze at some tables but makes it feel more homey. For food I had the breakfast sandwich and it was good. Pretty basic but everything from the toppings to the eggs were fresh and cooked well. The pancake was good and big so glad I tried it. Overall it's a great local spot that I will check out again.

We love downtown McKinney and so many establishments have that southern charm, friendly service, and just love people. We always bring in a group of paying patrons. Early on we felt there was a clickish vibe, but never thought anything about it. We make friends everywhere, since we are travelers . Last few months we noticed a shift, bartender ruder, lack of service, the regulars shifting their gaze as if something was wrong. Last night ended that for us, and I'm sure they will be thrilled. Our bonus son chose to come here for his celebratory event. We invited a variety of people we knew, local talents, professionals, and family. Hateful comments about having a few balloons and party hats and how "you BETTER clean all that UP, I'm not doing it." We were treated with disdain. No service, each person had to get our own menu when we were ready to order, , and silverware after food was served, no one took our drink orders, when we went to the bar-our tabs were closed after each drink order. The bartender, Chevon, (who is always there) was rude and ugly to our whole group and to those she didn't even know was in our group. The new DJ, (Shawn) skipped over our friend twice. Chevron (bartender) who didn't know the person she was speaking to was my sister, said "I hate that guy, all he sings is rock songs." I mean... it karaoke. And that guy she's talking about has been bringing a group of people here for over a year. So carry on the "high school drama" there are a ton of places in McKinney that are lovely and welcoming. When you are hateful to singers, doctors, nurses, business owners, and veterans... that news will travel fast. And as rude and ugly as this review is, it's not near as rude or ugly as we were treated, individually and as a group. If you are gonna be bias to people, you don't need to be serving them. It's sad, because I know Karen and what Spoons means to her and her family. I hope they clean house and start over in the back. FYI (Shawn was a really nice DJ, he was so kind to people celebrating others.) But other than that, I wouldn't recommend The Garage for any new Collin County resident, any bridal party, bachelor party, or group celebrating anything... you can DM me and I'll give you a personal list of plenty of places to go. Many of them walking distance.

We were in a mood to eat burgers and found Stix on Yelp since we wanted to look at a new place, our…read moreregulars are Rodeo Goat and Kenney's. Had read great reviews which was reassuring. You have to seat yourself - there were enough vacant tables to pick from. Within a few minutes, our server was over and helped us narrow down on what we wanted to order. I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.

Unfortunately, staff is very rude (no greeting; no please and thank you; one worded answers). Honestly, these girls look like they hate being there. Food is all premade but takes on average 30' to get warmed up and served. I went twice, once on Saturday for a takeout when there was no line and once on Sunday, when there was a long line. Both times I had to wait for half an hour. Last time, the turkey sandwich was so burned, I could taste the ashy pieces but since I had that order to go, I could not get that sorted. Food doesn't taste like anything I can't make at home, it's just blah! So between that and rude staff, I will not be coming back.
