I tried the baba ganoush, the mixed grill and the chicken kebab. Some of the meat tasted dry. Perhaps, it would be fresher in the restaurant (although it was not a long drive home). I was also disappointed that some items on the order were cancelled, and there was no communication of that. It was worth a try, but I'm not sure that I would order takeout from here again. I would give it a chance dining in though.

What sets Local Yocal apart is that they run their own butcher shop, so you can actually taste the…read moredifference in the meat before anybody even brings out a sauce. It is a little nicer than your average barbecue joint, tucked into an old renovated warehouse in downtown McKinney, but it still feels laid back once you settle in. I came in mostly for the chicken fried steak after hearing people rave about it, and it lived up to the hype. Crispy crust, tender inside, and that smoky twist they put on it makes it stand out from any other version I have had in town. My buddy ordered a Wagyu steak and could not stop talking about how well it was cooked, which tracks given they cut their own beef. We split the mac and cheese with chopped brisket on the side and that thing is dangerous, rich and loaded with meat. Prices run a bit higher than a typical smokehouse, but the quality earns it. If you care about where your beef comes from, this is the place to go. Excellent service every time!

My wife and I stopped in this restaurant in downtown McKinney and it did not disappoint. We just…read morewanted to share one small meal together and the NY strip and Large Caesar salad were plenty to feed two people. The steak was super flavorful and was cooked to perfection. It was a warm pink middle and a crusty exterior. The sauces were a great accompaniment. I didn't much care for the red wine reduction, but the chimichurri and the creamy horseradish were outstanding. The Caesar salad was delicious and executed well. All the food hit the spot and made me want to try even more of the menu. Our waitress was very kind and had the southern hospitality and accent down pat haha! She gave us fast service and was very attentive. The unique factor for me here was the back story. I heard the owner has a ranch up north which is where the meat is sourced from and he also has a Local Yocal Farm to Market shop close by the restaurant which I'm looking forward to checking out as well. I give it a five stars because I am looking forward to going back for more delicious food and sharing the meal with friends!

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.

Perhaps not everything is bigger in Texas, but Rudys stuffed baked potato sure is! I am from…read moreMinnesota and there is nothing quite like Rudy's there, i.e. restaurant/store/gas station. Still, if we had not been getting carryout, it seemed like a pleasant place to sit down and eat, too. This is order at the counter service, and they were happy to explain things to this non-native. Everything was carefully packed to maintain temperature and avoid spills. I enjoyed the brisket with spicy sauce, though I have since heard some people really prefer the moist type, I think dry was right for me. I got a side of coleslaw so I could get my veggies in; it had a creamy yet not too heavy dressing. The stuffed potato was tasty, especially with all the recommended toppings, but it was the size of a small football! I had to put half of it in the fridge.

First time here. Brisket is a NO. I got one good bite but the moment it starts to cool off, game…read moreover. Not juicy, tender, and really no flavor. The pulled pork was mediocre. My favorite part of the whole experience was the sausage (how do you mess that up?) and the potato salad. I think I'm just finding that it's better to smoke your own meats at home. Half the price and 100x better. Service also wasn't the best. Lady at the register was dead inside. I could tell this was the last place she wanted to be today. Side note: waving your hand in the air to call my attention when I am not looking your direction is no way of letting a line of people know you are ready to take their order. "Next guest, please!" goes a long way. Possibly why she was so irritated when I finally got to the counter.
