    Low on my list of restaurants to try, I have avoided McGill's because of its ratings. The restaurant has received some harsh reviews, earning a 3.4 rating on Yelp and 4.3 on Google. Not a stellar rating for a restaurant desiring to project an upscale, sophisticated, fine dining experience. An in-depth look at the reviews revealed a lot of bitchin' from Google reviewers that were charged a $3 empty plate fee. Many patrons brought birthday cake into the restaurant expecting to use the restaurant's waitstaff and dishwashing service for free. I side with the restaurant on this issue. They tie up tables, and use the services. A charge is reasonable. On the Yelp side, older dated reviews complain of food quality and service, which drug the rating down. Most recent reviews on Google are very positive. McGill's for lunch today. 12 noon, the restaurant was half empty. Greeting us, the host questioned if we had reservations. Fortunately, they were able to squeeze us in. Quickly escorted to a booth. The upscale atmosphere: decor, lighting, and ambiance, made a positive impression. Within seconds Katie, one of the smartly dressed wait staff was at our table, greeting us, delivering menus and taking our drink orders. The service was excellent throughout the meal. House salad and French onion soup for me. A California Cob for my wife. Had to try the deviled Eggs. All good. The lunch menu offers a variety that should satisfy anyone. The service is fast. Try lunch. My only complaint was the strong fish odor emanating from the kitchen, invading the dining room. An unpleasant aroma that doesn't complement fine dining.

    Pasta Lobster

    This is the first time at McGill's. The restaurant is later out very nice and has a very cozy atmosphere. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable when we asked about the special of the day and helpful in making our selection. The calamari was a perfect start with Cajun dip. I had the Pasta Lobster, which was good, but it was swimming is sauce. The flavors were good though. My wife had the Prime Rib which was excellent, cooked to perfection. Overall, a good experience. We will be back.

    New York strip with baked potato and veggies

    Hadn't been to McGill's in some years and decided to go try them out again. I was able to reserve my seat on a Saturday evening at 7:45 with hardly any issues. The restaurant was clean, we were greeted and seated promptly upon arriving. Through the entire stay, we were treated well with great service. I ended up ordering the bone in rib-eye with a loaded baked potato and my date ordered NY strip with the vegetables. Both of our steaks were cooked per our request and had a great flavor that was juicy and prepared just right. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend their business anytime with reasonable prices.

    Spinach salad with added chicken
    DIANA T.

    Had an amazing experience here with a friend. We shared a spinach salad with chicken added (+ $6). It was drenched with a vinaigrette dressing that was perfectly made to taste where it wasn't too oily or too much vinaigrette. The added chicken... They were definitely not skimp on it. We also had the calamari. It was perfectly lightly battered and fried crispily. The dipping sauce was just right but not really needed because it was that good. So good that my friend who is a picky eater, ate it with me. We ended our unexpected luncheon with a creme brulee. Not too sweet, perfectly seared on top, and just right. Ms. Ashley was an excellent server who gave us the best customer service. She went above and beyond and just made our experience so pleasant. Thank you.

    Prime Rib of Beef (dinner portion)
    Eileen S.

    Will not order fish here. I did not like both the orange roughy and trout almondine. Both dishes taste kind of sweet, and the Orange roughy is a little fishy. I couldn't eat the skin of the trout. The prime rib and ribeye were the safer choice, but they could taste better for how much they cost. ($39 and $38 respectively)

    French Onion Soup
    Kristi O.

    I always love coming here for lunch or dinner they also have a happy hour in the bar from 5 to 7 where their appetizers are all half off. It's always a good meal if you want great steak but also there's salmon and other foods are really good. They have a lobster pasta I can also recommend.

    Spinach Artichoke Dip

    We had our first experience at Mcgills for our 12 year anniversary and it was very pleasant. We were told happy anniversary from the host which was nice. Our waiter was also very observant and nice. He kept our table clean and didn't over do it so we could enjoy our dinner together. The food was delicious and my husbands steak was so rare just like he likes it!! I might have ate more of his steak then my chicken! The carrot cake was also very good! The dim lighting and soft music was very enjoyable for our special occasion. Overall, a great dinner!

    Deviled eggs
    Jason B.

    9 of us met here for dinner after my grandfathers funeral last night. It was nice that they put us in the private room so all of us could chat freely. Staff were extremely nice and prompt when taking orders and keeping drinks filled. I would even go at far to say that they were some of the best we have had in a long time. We ordered 3 orders of the deviled eggs they were awesome. Salads were pretty good as well. I ordered the prime rib but was disappointed in the fact that over half of it was fat. The flavor profile was decent. My wife ordered the ribeye & I should've gone that route for sure. Overall I think everyone was happy with the dinner I just wish my prime was better

    I have made it my mission to test every steak in Tulsa, and I cannot let A5 slide. I know A5 is all about the fat, and I had never had one as a rib eye before so I wanted to try it. It was good! Around $250 (I believe), and it is a treat. I would not purchase it again, but it was worth the try as all A5 is. The Firecracker Chicken is incredible! I do not recall all the ingredients, but I would order it as a meal or even make the trip to McGill's just for it. Loved it! Service staff is quite friendly, and everything was done in a timely fashion. The ambience of it is not my favorite, but it is still quite nice. This is a wonderful date night restaurant or just a go-to for good apps and drinks.

    My husband and I often have lunch at McGill's. I almost always order the 1/2 Club and cup of French Onion Soup. After seeing and tasting my husband's Ahi Salad (yes, it's a good as it looks :) I know next time I'll be ordering that! We always love McGill's!

    Shrimp cocktail. Ahi tuna. Broccoli.

    So I came here as the steakhouse across the street was on a long wait. I am so glad they were!!!! The food here was more delicious than over there. So fresh and so tasty. I ordered two apps and a side, along with dessert and coffee. The shrimp cocktail and ahi tuna was so fresh and perfect!! The dessert was the carrot cake, was big enough for two, and it was served WARM!!! OMG!! I will definitely be back!!! Shannon was my server and she was such a doll. Ask for her if you decide to dine here, you can thank me later!!

    Filet was with broccoli and baked potato (fixin's on the side)

A scrambled or fried egg can only get just so bougie, same for bacon, pancakes, etc. What makes a diner stand out from the rest? In my experience it's ingredients sourced from suppliers that are outside the mainstream, and excellent service. This isn't Tally's. Tally's is a celebration of the mediocre. Once, years ago, I ordered a breakfast burrito and I got a white log on a plate that sat under a heat lamp too long. There was no sauce on it or anything on the side, just a slightly stale tortilla wrapped around some filling. Meh... I went again this morning hoping for a better experience. I ordered the corned beef hash since it's not a typical diner breakfast. Though there were only a few tables occupied it took 20+ minutes to get my food, and though it had a decent enough taste there was a chalkiness to it that put me off. I also opted for a biscuit rather than the pancake that appears on the menu, and it had a sourness to it that I just couldn't figure out. The biscuit and gravy were cold too. The staff seem to be disinterested unless you're a regular. The toaster caught fire and required three fourths of the staff to deal with it. Also, while I waited they brought out a plate of food that was apparently today's lunch special, and the entire staff stood around it taking pictures with their phones while I watched from my booth. Even the cooks came out! They totally ignored everyone in the dining room. This went on for 10+ minutes. However, on the positive side, I see loads of people eating at Tally's every day! It's very popular! They also serve meals to service members and others at the Holidays, so credit where credit is due. I'm happy they support the community. Good on them for that! I wish more restaurants did the same. For that they get a second star.

Phill sold the restaurant to Tim after owning the place for 23 years in 2020 when COVID hits its peak. After buying the place, Tim has never bothered to change the name on Yelp but the name has been changed to Tim's Diner on Google. The best thing about this diner is all the original staffs continue to work for the establishment bringing over their experiences as well of plenty of attitudes. All the employees are a little of "older" age and I love that. The only thing I don't like here is the tip system. You pay at the cashier in the front who will ask you if you would like to add a tip then the cashier would add a tip in for you and you don't have to sign anything. I prefer if they just charge me for the amount and give me the merchant copy and I can add a tip in myself. The way they're doing it puts pressure on their customers to tip. This diner has Tim's $8 favorites menu which is one of the best features, making breakfast very affordable. The food is delicious.
