If you have been looking for that lamb gyro wrap that checks all the boxes, then grab your appetite…read moreand RUN......do not walk.....to the Gyro Shop off Virginia in McKinney!!! This wrap is piled full of lamb, topped with lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, then covered in their white sauce and hot sauce.....do not skip the sauces! Ask for extra napkins because this sandwich is a delicious mess and ask for a fork because there is enough that falls out of the sandwich for a second meal! I have tried the majority of the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant in McKinney and this is the best gyro wrap hands down. If you're looking for a fancy, decorative joint, I'm sorry this isn't it. But if you're looking for a clean establishment that knows how to put this sandwich together, this is the spot......now go on and you're welcome.

On this visit, I had the chimichurri steak taco and the Mexi-Cali shrimp taco, and both were excellent. The steak taco was packed with flavor, while the shrimp taco had a great balance of freshness and seasoning. You can really tell thought goes into the ingredients and combinations here. I also highly recommend saving room for the red velvet cake, it's absolutely worth it and a perfect way to finish the meal. Definitely a spot I enjoy coming back to from time to time for lunch.

We forgot a side of fries and ordered this, asking them to put a rush on it which they did. Overall most of us weren't impressed with the food--the fries were pretty flavorless. The burgers were alright--the best part was that the buns are grilled fresh and come out a little crispy inside. I'm not a huge fan and neither was most of our group, but they must be doing something right since the place was PACKED despite orders moving incredibly quickly!

Clean and polite crew. They will add combo meals to the menu and that will probably help with their price value.

My family have been going to this Freddie's probably my too often for seven years. We love it…read more But something seems to be changing. Maybe there's new management or something. But it seems to be going downhill. We get frozen custard on more than half of our visits. It's a treat we really like. Today we got custard and over half of every serving was runny liquid, and the part that was frozen melted pretty quickly. This has happened on our previous TWO visits as well. We normally eat in the restaurant, so this isn't an issue with melting on the way home. This is exactly how they hand it to you. They're frequently out of ketchup in the bug pump dispenser. So you end up with ketchup packets. But a couple of times, they have nearly run out of those, too. On one recent occasion, I asked for ketchup for myself and my family of five. The guy knew how big our order was, as there was almost nobody else in the place. He gave me three as said that was all I could have- they were saving them for drive through customers. Uh, WHAT? Today I also ordered some cheese curds. When I got home (only a mile away), I opened the bag to find barely half an order. They come in a paper bowl, and it was BARELY half full. I've ordered these many times before- I know what the portion is supposed to be, and this was half of normal. On our last visit, my burger was served with the patties over halfway out of the bun... that might sound silly or persnickety, but it was a total mess. The employees used to be, on balance, energetic, courteous, and attentive. They almost always greeted you with a bright smile, and at the very least they at least greeted you. Lately many of them won't even look at you when taking your order. They mumble and seem slightly confused. Sometimes there's no one at the counter to take your order for several minutes, but a bunch are in the kitchen/ drive through area yakking away. They just don't seem to care at all about the customers and they don't take enough pride in what they serve to care that the custard is melted, there's no ketchup, the fries are cold. They don't care if they give you half and order or put the food together right. To be fair, some of the staff is still nice. Once in a while when it's really slow one might walk your food together your table rather that just call out your number. Once in a while if it's slow they'll come out and take your tray or your trash. But it's gotten to be pretty uncommon. We love this place... I'm not sure what changed, but we won't be coming for or ordering custard there anymore. We'll find a new place for desserts. And we've already stopped going as frequently as we used to. It's lost its luster as a fun, special place for us.

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

3.3(84 reviews)

Let me start with the positives:…read more Breaded Chicken was flavourful, sauce tasted very fresh, toast was just crispy enough. Place was clean and customer service was nice Now the reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because My friend and I both ordered caniac combos (6 chicken each). We ordered under separate names but they came out at the same time. The problem was his order had 5 tenders and was missing toast and mine had 7 tenders and correct amount of toast. So I gave him my extra tender. Just make sure to count the tenders carefully because this is one of the multiple reviews on here that will mention either too little or too much (preferred) chicken amounts. Overall, solid place.

I ordered two three finger combos and a kids combo with mayonnaise and I barely got anything I…read moreordered correct. They gave me one three finger combo that had only two fingers and then the other three finger combo box only had fries. No bread and NO TENDERS?? in the THEEE FINGER COMBO? Just absurd. They also gave me no receipt and had terrible customer service through the drive-thru. I asked for mayo twice and two different employees said okay and still I didn't get it. While at the window two different employees asked me what my order was. Even after all this crazy checking of what they should be giving to me I didn't get near what I paid for. This is the standard I expect from a Raising Cane's. All you have to serve is chicken and fries it cannot be that hard to remember the chicken in a chicken combo.

The car line was busy but went fast enough and the employee working at the window was kind. I ordered the 3 slider meal that comes with fries and a drink, I did add a side of queso too. Sliders: Bigger than a typical slider, smaller than the average kids-sized burger. You can stack more meat or add bacon. I found them to be very tasty. Fries: Because each (waffle) fry is quite large, I was happy with my portion. I don't agree with other reviews that they are skimpy - these are larger than chick fil a and more than enough for a combo meal in my opinion. I got to say the batter/seasoning on these are fantastic. Queso: Warm, yummy and perfect for dipping. I really enjoyed my meal here and will be returning in the future with my family!
