    BLT with Sweet Potato Fries
    Tiara B.

    Came here for a late lunch and cocktails! For my cocktail I went with the New Fashion and that was a 10/10. Full of flavors that worked well together and I will definitely order it again. My husband and I decided to spot the BLT with sweet potatoes fries and he got a side salad as well. The BLT was ok. Nothing to write home about but the sweet potato fries were the star of the show.

    We got breakfast at The Garage but my friends told me that The Garage was just an extension of Spoons Cafe (since the cafe was full), so I'm leaving a review for here! After trying to get seats at Spoons, they routed us to sit at The Garage. We had a group of five and were seated in a booth. The service was pretty speedy and was nice but not really friendly. I think they might've just been swamped, or maybe that was just our servers demeanor? We were all pretty hungry and getting ready for a day before the wedding we had to attend at night so we each got a good meal before the start of our day. I got the Breakfast Sandwich with a side of cottage potatoes (which it came with). This was super filling and good. I loved how they have it available in half portion, in case you don't want the full sandwich. The food was pretty filling and we were in and out within an hour.

    Came for drinks, mine was called something like moon over Paris. It was thick puree. It seemed like it should have been an addition to a drink, like a mixer, not the drink itself. It was pretty disgusting, felt like they should have paid me to drink it. My husband got a lemonade sort of drink and it tasted like straight sugar. If you are looking for nice cocktails, this is not the place.

    Wanted to like this place but didn't like that my cocktail drink was literally taken out of a fridge (pre-made) and was super sweet, I had the midnight in Paris. Service wasn't the best and not a good experience, won't be coming back.

    Good house cocktails and down-home cooking in a historic building off the McKinney square! They share the Spoon kitchen, so the appetizer and food offerings are WAY more elaborate that you might expect from a small bar. Nice to sit snd enjoy drinks while snacking on the Garage Board! Cool vibe in the old building; def worth a trip to check it out! The owner was friendly and helpful, although they needed another server. We will go back and update this review, because all restaurants are struggling to juggle staff-expenses vs. the reduced customer demands of the current reduced capacity virus guidelines.

    We were in the mood for sand and soup and it was a beautiful fall day to head to Historic Downtown McKinney. We had eaten several times at Spoons and always enjoyed the food. There was a line for tables and the hostess directed us around the corner to The Garage. We had no idea they were connected! This "adult" side of the restaurant has a full bar and indoor/outdoor seating. My husband had his tomato soup and I had my favorite club sandwich with fries. (The shape of the fries somehow made them taste even yummier!) Hamburgers are good here too. Friendly service and lots of smiles. Highly recommend! Y'all make a note of this McKinney favorite and stop by!

    We love being able to enjoy drinks in a kid free zone. Our server was great (Joshua)the drinks were beautiful and the pie was delicious. They designed the small space perfectly with a bar, tall and short tables and a cute bathroom too.

Also need a password to enter! They have some comfy lounge couches in the back. That's where we decided to sit. We all started off with cocktails, I had the Paloma and Jake's Milk Punch. Which the Milk punch caught me off guard, it's a pina colada with a twist. We all said the cocktails were really good! And ended it with the Freddy snacks, which are shots. The bartender did an amazing job on the drinks! Our host was John who always checked on us, and told us all the details about the food. As far as food we ordered Wagyu smash burger sliders, Asian sticky ribs, and Shrimp scampi. Everything was so good! It makes us all want to try Sea Breeze restaurant which it's inside of. I want to try their other menu items even more now. We will definitely be back!
