Betty waited on our table. She had such good energy and was super knowledgeable about the menu. I'd like to come back and request her specifically. My husband had the smoked shrimp and grits and I had the smoked fried chicken with lemon mashed potatoes and street corn. Both were excellent! I'm not in this area of Dallas often, but I will make it a point to come back. I forgot to mention my cocktail! I had the Honey Bourbon Limoncello and boy was it good. I'm a lightweight so I couldn't try any of the other cocktails but their cocktails all look delicious!

We started off with the spinach dip, and it was really good. I'd definitely order it again. The server recommended the pecan crusted chicken, so I ordered it. It was panko crusted with pecans with a side of mash potato and green beans. The portions were big, so I definitely had leftovers. My friend ordered the fried chicken, it was decent, needed a little bit more flavor, but she enjoyed it. I'll definitely come back when in the area. Parking was really easy and plenty.

My friends took me here for my 60th birthday!! Outside of the perfect steaks and stellar service (a great big thank you to Brad our amazing waiter), the music stole the show!! They have this insanely talented musician who performs Friday and Saturday nights starting at 6:30 PM .. he literally has his stage on a landing pad halfway up the staircase with his own little music kingdom. One guy. Several instruments. Electric guitar and saxophone were played effortlessly. You can make requests, which adds to the fun! For example, "Sweet Caroline" was a song that everyone sang along throughout the restaurant lol. Then came something I didn't expect. This musician has made it his personal mission to play our National Anthem on Fridays and Saturdays 7pm sharp. Everyone naturally stood -up, the whole room joined in, hand over their hearts, so much patriotic passion and energy. It was truly beautiful to see people come together in that moment. And just when I thought the night couldn't get better, out came a birthday dessert .. a warm homemade cookie with ice cream and a real sparkler. It was a show stopper!! I haven't seen a sparkler since I was ten lol. Apparently, birthdays are a big deal here, because it felt like every table around us had their own sparkler birthday/ anniversary moment. It was hilarious ... and I loved it! If you're looking for a memorable experience or just a relaxing delicious meal, nothing compares to Texas y'all. TIP: they have valet parking! TIP: they take reservations!

Located right on the street, it's a good spot to stop for a bite to eat and drink right there in the historic downtown Plano. They even source their meat from the local Ye Ole Butcher Shop that is right down the street. I opted for the McNeal's classic burger. Those burger patties are amazing. If you have never had one and are a burger lover, stop by here sometime or the butcher shop itself. The side of fries here are crisp, not soggy or flavorless. Definitely has the pub feel going on. If I lived closer I would probably call this place home. I have had different servers the times I have been, and the service has been friendly and spot on. Update: went again and ran into someone from my hometown. This is def a Cheers type place lol

We chose to sit outside to be near the live performance which was a great call. We got the Irish Flag ($20) which is a flight of 3 tea shots in green, orange, and white tea. It was pretty light but fun to try. We then saw our friends sharing a frozen margarita that looked too good to pass up so we ordered one too. I cannot believe they are only $10 because they are huge and definitely meant for sharing. They have a few flavors to choose from and I do not remember which one we got but it was good and strong in the best way. It sneaks up on you. No brain freeze either which was a bonus and it put us in a great mood for the rest of the night.

It was a Tuesday night, yet the restaurant was completely packed all the way through closing at 11 pm. We instantly knew that we picked the right place if it was this busy on a random weekday. Everything we ordered was incredible. The entire menu is halal. The beef kebab was tender and full of flavor, the chicken kebab was perfectly cooked, and the steak was just as good. But the real standout for us was the baklava. It's made in-house and served fresh and warm with ice cream, and honestly, I still crave it to this day. We ended up coming back several times during our two-month stay in Texas, and every visit was just as good as the first. I can't wait to try this again the next time I'm in Dallas!

Overall, a great place with great food, good prices, and a comfortable, well-kept space. Definitely worth coming back.

Speaking of which, it was alright. The meats were a little worse than other churrascarias I have been too, but still quite tasty. The service was below average as well. I feel like the rotation of the meat was strange as well, a number of items appeared at our table much more frequently than others and several items I had to ask the server to make sure it came to the table. Overall, the experience was acceptable but mundane. This restaurant is somewhat cheaper than other churrascarias, but I would rather go to the better places less often.

We're regulars of EG Steak up in Plano/Frisco, and I found that a much more ideal experience. PROS: - Brazilian Lemonade was very good, I was left wanting for more - Shrimp was available as an option, which I find unique for a Brazilian steakhouse - I enjoyed the picanha and the garlic steak CONS: - The atmosphere of the place is simply less formal than desired for what you're paying. It feels a bit like your local Italian joint. Tables are close together, full light blasting, cheap tablecloths and incorrect labels on the stuff at the buffet - Most of the meat we got came to us lukewarm. I only got one piece of meat that was hot - Our service wasn't very great. We kept getting repeats of the same lower quality meats we didn't enjoy, kept getting repeatedly passed up by meats we did want despite our green table indicators and trying to get the guys' attention, and couldn't really get anyone to come to our table very often. - Some of the meats just weren't good. The chicken, for example, was salty and inedible. I also found the texture of the sirloin very, very tough. The lamb was relatively flavorless. - I don't know how much of this I can attribute to the restaurant themselves, but on a Friday night, this place was littered with kids and large families that weren't under control. Kids running around, listening to YouTube videos on full volume, etc literally right next to our table. - My partner noted that it was my birthday, having seen some of the reviews about this place making it a special occasion. It wasn't acknowledged, not even a "happy birthday" from any of the staff. Overall, for just $15 more per person and a half hour drive north, just go to EG by Stonebriar. Definitely a more elevated experience for the price point.

The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a hidden gem: an intimate, six-table setting with thoughtful, beautiful décor that makes the entire experience feel intentional from start to finish. We chose the Dinner for Two, and it was the perfect way to experience the menu. My husband and I started with a generously portioned lump crab cake, followed by a perfectly charred Caesar salad. Then came the main event, a 24oz Delmonico steak served alongside charred asparagus, broccolini, potatoes, and a squash and zucchini medley. Every single element was exceptional. Truly. Lane has created something special here. Elevated, fine-dining quality food in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy incredible flavors, and savor meaningful time with great company. If you haven't been yet, consider this your sign. You will want to experience it for yourself.

BAR-Ranch Steak Company has been one of my favorite meals of the year!…read more Downtown Plano is a quick drive away from my office at our companies HQ, and one day a group of four of us picked it out for a little lunch celebration we were having. It was my first trip to downtown Plano which is a nice quaint strip of bars, restaurants, and shops that reminded me of any of the small one/two stop light towns around my home of NC, even though you're really surrounded by metro Dallas highways and city. The atmosphere, the food, the service, was perfection. I'll do my best to describe, but if I was creating a restaurant, I'd tell you to go here, and that is what I want. The restaurant itself is very nice, certainly upscale enough for a super nice date night, but also casual enough at lunch time for a business casual outfit. The area itself is relatively small and intimate, I'm going to guess 10 or less tables, and a spot for a few people at a small bar. Right beside the bar is the grill where you can see, hear, and smell the food being cooked! The owner was our waiter, and just like the rest, service was plenty formal yet also laid back. He did everything how you'd expect in a fine dining restaurant, but also was comfortable in a baseball cap and laid back fine with having a conversation. He was happy to tell us about the restaurant itself, the interior which he built out himself, and was enthusiastic about what he was serving and told us everything about the meat and sides. It was great seeing someone so proud and excited to tell his costumers about every aspect of it. He alone would make me want to be a regular visitor. But then there is the food! Perfection! All four of us ordered the Wagyu NY Strip, so he just told us he would serve it on a board with plenty of sides to fill us up. We didn't even have to tell him how we wanted the steak cooked, he said everything was cooked to 135 and it came out absolutely perfectly! Quality tasty meat, true wood flavor, it was what I normally have to cook myself at home to get! The sides were great as well, charred broccoli (which I'm a sucker for, marbles potatoes, fries, all wonderful! The menu is not huge, but I think that's perfect. Do what you do well and you don't need a multi page menu full of random dishes. BAR-Ranch knows what they are and they excel at it! It's not cheap, but personally I'd rather have one meal of exceptional quality over multiple cheaper meals that leave me feeling "meh that was fine". Personally I'll be back and can't wait for another opportunity to try it!

Secondly, the food the wife got Andy steak with broccoli and then I got the 5 ounce salmon with a salad and with a sweet potato and I'll share that with the wife ambience is typical for a Texas Roadhouse but still pleasant enjoyable love the country music in the background so if I could give it more than five stars, I would it'd be at least a 12 star and we always get the same service in the same level of good quality food cooked perfectly per our request so again it was a great time as usual and we'll talk again later

We decided…read moreto give this new location a try instead of driving to the Grand Prairie location we usually visit when we're craving a steak and those famous buttered rolls. Starting off, the bread was a complete miss. I know my rolls, and these were definitely not the classic Texas Roadhouse rolls or butter we're used to. I ordered the Critter Salad, and something about the chicken just seemed off. My boyfriend ordered the 8 oz steak cooked medium, but it came out closer to medium well. We didn't send anything back because it just wasn't worth the hassle, but we'll probably continue making the drive to the Grand Prairie location for now.

The guy with the buzz cut and long shorts is clearly a relative of the owner. The slim guy with the glasses had a different section and he was on top of his game. If we ever come back we will make sure and sit in his section. I paid money to see a concert, and missed 4 songs because we had to walk inside to get a drink. I have been coming to Love and War since 2014, it is not the same my friends. The 1995 Bronx guy with the long basketball shorts should work at the DMV. He is absolutely atrocious as a waiter. I need to stress this..... he must be a family member. No one that bad could ever keep a job. Be warned, if you want to have any semblance of a good time, find the guy with the glasses and sit in his section. Avoid the angry thumb shaped man with the buzz cut. He clearly has a trust fund, your tips don't matter.

The lobster dishes and wine selection were excellent as well. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming without ever being intrusive. To top it all off, our entire dinner came to under $100, which felt like tremendous value for the quality of the food and experience. I only wish we had a location in Los Angeles.
