The heirloom tomato salad was not using heirloom tomatoes. They tasted like generic restaurant grade raw tomatoes and were grainy. Great dish but the tomato choice needs to be reconsidered. The Mesa chicken was great. Super tasty and moist. The server was either inexperienced or overwhelmed with tasks. Nice but had entree coming out before salad and a separate issue which resulted in my entree being sent back. Everyone was great with the correction but it definitely seems there are some organizational issues going on. I'd absolutely eat here again and would love to try the main restaurant.

The ambiance is also beautiful; low lights and a beautiful interior. Will definitely be coming back!

I met an associate at Saltgrass Steakhouse in McAllen for dinner. I had only been to Saltgrass one…read moreother time in Houston. I enjoyed my meal there and had high expectations for this time. The building is decorated nicely with a western theme. There are some taxidermied animals (I noticed the longhorn, and a bobcat), so if you're squeamish about that or vegan I recommend you go find a tofu house. The outside is also nicely done, complete with patio dining tables- but it's so hot this time of year that was not an option for us. Background mysic stayed in the background, adding ambience without stopping conversation. We had no wait for a table, and our server did a great job taking our order. He was friendly, engaging, and efficient. He brought our drinks and one of their loaves of warm bread and butter. The bread is delicious, but I only had one piece to save room for the main course. I ordered the 12 oz. ribeye, a baked potato and a salad. My associate had the Texas T-bone, a salad and some asparagus spears. Both our steaks were cooked as ordered and we both enjoyed them immensely. Mine was so good it did not need steak sauce. I did ask for some extra butter for my potato, and it was promptly brought to the table. The salad was very good, as was the potato (I can get those elsewhere, and for less), but the star of the show was the steak. While their desserts sounded delectable, after my meal I couldn't eat another bite. Prices are on the high side, but this is not fast food, and the service and ambience were excellent. I recommend Saltgrass for a business meal. A romantic date or other special occasion.

I live down the road and frequent this restaurant every few weeks. Dining has always been pleasant,…read moreno issues there, but I have issues every time I get to-go. Specifically, last time I waited in my car as expected. I was listening to a podcast and didn't realize it had been 30 minutes past my pickup time and they still hadn't brought it out. Had to go up to the window, the girl let me know their texting service doesn't work, and my food was cold. I was upset but took it home and ate it disappointed because I didn't want to wait even longer. Learned my lesson and came later than the expected pickup time, parked, when I texted it said it wasn't ready so I waited 10 minutes before proceeding to the window. It took forever for anyone to come to the window, and even more time the 2nd time when I realized there was stuff missing from the bag. It wasn't until 20 minutes later that I got a text saying my food was ready and they were bringing it to my car. In total I was there 25+ minutes, every curbside spot was taken and I never saw a single employee take food to the cars. It makes me wonder if there really is something wrong with their texting line or if they're poorly managed and it's a "them" problem. The whole point of curbside service is so I don't have to get out of my car. But this restaurant makes it really difficult and makes me not want to get pickup from them anymore.

The ambience is elegant yet relaxed, making it easy to linger, and the service was top-notch--attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed.

She was knowledgeable of the menu (especially about the cocktails and wines!) and was an intellecutal conversationalist, which definitely brought something unique to my experience.

We all ordered meats which prices range between $30s to $60s (insane for no sides) and I gotta say I've had better steak at a food truck. We also ordered the Chorizo Argentino ( it was the sice of my finger). Let me not even mention the pound of salad constantly being shoved down your throat. We said no to the salad and it still came with it. Also $8 for a small dish of fries? And no sides come included with the meats?! You are forced to pay for sides if you don't want your $58 dollar steak alone. PS: dont tell them to cook the meats any different than your peers because they will cook them all the same. The server was nice at least and I felt bad for her being alone.

Review of Main Street Steakhouse -- 920 N Main St Suite 100, McAllen, TX 78501…read more Walking into Main Street Steakhouse, my hopes were set pretty high. The atmosphere was upscale, cozy, and inviting--exactly what you'd expect from a high-end steakhouse. I started with a dirty martini, which was actually quite good, though I was surprised they didn't have Kettle One or Chopin vodka available, and they didn't offer blue cheese olives. Not a deal breaker, but a bit unexpected given the overall ambiance. For an appetizer, I ordered the tuna tartare. Unfortunately, it had a noticeably fishy taste, to the point that I stopped eating after just a couple of bites. Hoping the main course would redeem things, I went with the surf and turf. Visually, the plate looked decent, but that's where the positives ended. The steak was tough and rubbery--difficult to even cut, let alone chew--and the lobster tail was overcooked and dry. Both were inedible after a single bite. The manager did come over and apologize, offering us a complimentary crème brûlée to make up for it. Sadly, that too was a letdown: undercooked, runny, and lacking the crisp top you'd expect from a proper crème brûlée. When the manager returned, he admitted he had tried to cut into my steak himself and couldn't get through it either--so it wasn't just me. At that point, I was ready to chalk it up to an off night and consider giving them another shot sometime. But then the bill came--it ended up being a little over $180 including a decent tip--and to my surprise, the inedible main course hadn't been comped. That was the final disappointment. If the manager himself couldn't cut the steak and acknowledged the issue, how do you not remove it from the bill? I genuinely wanted to like this place. The setting is promising, but they clearly need a more consistent kitchen and a management team that understands how to make things right when they go wrong. For now, I can't recommend it--and I won't be back unless some serious changes are made. Rating: 1/5

The Shrimp Boil, fried oysters, and Oysters Rockefeller were good but could use a bit more attention to seasoning. The oysters Rockefeller did try to get a smoke flavor but fell short on the size of the oysters. Fried shrimp and chicken were on the dry side. I also tried the ribeye. The ribeye 1/2" cut (?) was a bit on the chewy side and a little dry. Seafood gumbo did not impress me much. Visually, I could see it needed spices. I added some of the seafood boil sauce and it tasted better Corn on the Cobb was GREAT, so was the boiled crab legs were also GREAT! Lots of patrons on Sunday.
