    Great little spot for some bar food and cold drinks. Great live entertainment periodically.

    Worse service ever. Not only did it take them over 10 minutes for them to give us menus and get our…read moredrinks. If it were busy I get it but when there is only 2 tables in the restaurant come on. Yet when the men in suits walk in they waited not even a minute and had thier menus at the table. I hadn't even finished my food when she was asking if we wanted the tab already. I should have asked if she was kicking us out already. My husband felt like we were being judged and treated like we didnt have money. Then when she brings us our change she is standing there waiting for the tip. I am a server myself and never treat guest based on how they are dressed and much less wait for a tip.

    This is a review of my experience at Oak on South 10th on 12-4-25 at 6:00PM…read more Honestly, there isn't much to review. Staff didn't even acknowledge me or take my order in the 20 minutes I was there waiting at the bar. The place wasn't busy, there were maybe 3 other pairs of people at the bar and 2 tables taken up. It was 6 PM on a Thursday so the place was close to empty. The bartender was too busy talking to the barback and didn't even take my order. In that time, he checked on other customers at the bar then returned to his conversation with his coworker. It's never good for a bartender to do the rounds and ignore a client that hasn't yet been served ESPECIALLY on a slow night. This type of treatment can make a client feel profiled or discriminated against. Nothing else to say about this, never going back and I'll gladly recommend other places to people looking for a GOOD bar in McAllen.

We ordered the cured salmon as an appetizer which was good but personally I think it would be WAY better with tuna. Haha We also ordered the mussels which we loved and asked for a side of toasted bread to dip in the sauce (chef's kiss). Then we shared the double pork chops... these we're definitely our favorite. Our waitress also shared with us that they have brunch, so we will for sure be coming back to taste more of their menu!

    Castle hills looked like a great new place to try and has a Michelin star chef behind this, so my…read morewife and I went for the first time last week. First impression we great. The menu had all the makings of a great restaurant and everything sounded delicious. The atmosphere looks nice and loved the "no mames way" bar. Unfortunately first impressions can be deceiving. I got a their 6 course tasting with wine pairings and my wife got a charcuterie board and a rib eye. The charcuterie board was less than adaquate. We got the small board. It had a good amount of blue cheese and a small wedge of a spicy cheese that I'm pretty sure is Colby jack. It was a bit strange the cheeses weren't cut or sliced and fairly cold. So with only a butter knife it was difficult to eat unless you just bite the cheese wedge. There was also just two small round slices of prosciutto a few grapes and some honey. This was not a great start. Then I got my first course. It was a ceviche (chef amuse) and bread. Complete 180. The ceviche was light and fresh, not super lime forward. The bread omg this bread and the herb butter was probably our favorite thing we had. I wish the board had this bread because we just disregarded the carbs on the board in favor do the bread. Second course was a brioche bun with pulled pork and onions on top. It looked great but it was far from good. Brioche is supposed to be soft and fluffy, though this one was hard and dry. The texture was like a corn bread. The pulled pork flavor was flat and the texture was like it was ran through a blender for too long. It was like baby food with a slight pulled pork flavor. This was just terrible all around. Next was the scallops, damn these were amazing scallops. Perfectly cooked, not rubbery. The sauce complimented it so well. I wish this course was bigger because I loved those two little scallops. There was what I think is a piece of prosciutto that looked nice but was burnt to a crisp, like bacon that you forgot about and it crumbles at a touch. Then my wife got her steak and I got a "pork steak" the steak, while a bit overcooked (we ordered med rare) was still very tender and season great. There was a strong and delicious rosemary flavor to it. The giant slice of tomato and head of galic on top was very strange though. The pork though... was a block of dry flavorless meat. This was so overcooked, there was zero juice and I don't know if they thought the sauce would make up for a lack of seasoning, because it surely did not. It was just two small strips and I couldn't finish even one. Lastly was the pre dessert and dessert. The predessert was a sorbet with a couple wafers in it. The sorbet was delicious, not too sweet, and the wafers complimented it well. The last dessert was a chocolate soufle. The presentation was great, but again, that was the only good thing about it. The soufle was still VERY raw. It was like a bowl of uncooked eggs with a couple bits of bread. Soufle should be soft and gooey in the middle but this was the majority of it. The only solid part was the top. They put ice cream and WAY too much chocolate on it so even if it was fully cooked all I could taste as chocolate sauce. So of the 6 courses 3 were good but the other 3 were terrible. The wine pairing were well done, though the white wine I got probably needed more aeration and less bits of cork. The service... was a huge miss too. With a multi course meal and at any fine dining, you usually get more info from your server. Like they'll tell you about what's in the food, what they do or what makes it fine (ie their pork versus just grilled pork). Or maybe why they choose that dish, did they have a connection to it, did they adapt it from somewhere, you know something more than just here's the next course, bye. This was especially obvious with the soufle. They have some table service for it but there was never any mention of said table service so when they went in with a spoon to break the soufflé, I thought they were handing it to me. This isn't something that is the wait staffs fault personally, that's definitely a training and management issue. There is no expectation of giving an experience. That's fine for a regular restaurant, but when you brag about a Michelin star chef and their tags are "classy" and you have the chefs Netflix episode played on loop... something is awry. Then you look closer and that's about on par with everything here. It's a lot of LOOKING nice, not authentically nice. There faux brick panels everywhere, there's bottles filled with water as decor, there's cheap dirty grill on the patio. It's a lot like what I got with their food. It's all looks great, presentation is awesome, but it didn't have what counts most, taste. I included our receipt for you to see everything we ordered. We spent a total of $186 before taxes and tip. Also wtf 4% admin fee?

    Our first time trying Smokin' Moon BBQ & sorry to say it was just okay. Our visit was on a Friday…read moreafternoon (2 pm) there was only a couple of tables with customers so it was quiet with ladies soccer on the tv's. We chose a seat & the waitress came over with menus, we asked a couple of questions regarding food/drink (tea, potato salad & brisket chili) items & was told she didn't eat/drink those things so had no opinion/knowledge. Needless to say we ordered a 1/2 lb of both brisket & beef sausage, potato salad & brisket chili & 2 unsweetened iced teas. The brisket was closer to a slow cooker pot roast than smoked brisket. The potato salad I'm pretty was Reser's potato salad from the premade section at Walmart. The brisket chili had burger meat rather than pieces of brisket but it tasted ok. The beef sausage was the best part of the meal but it was just ok. The tea was terrible & tasted old. Our waitress was lacking in customer service granted she was working the bar with maybe 2 people in the area. Will we go back probably not.

    Fun little place, can't wait to come back! I had the pulled pork nachos, absolutely delicious, and…read moreI loved their selection of sauces. My husband ended up getting a burger, he said it was really good but we definitely want to try a bbq plate next time. We sat at the bar to grab a few drinks with our lunch. The bartender was super friendly, attentive, quick, and made sure our drinks stayed full. Restaurant was clean and smelled nice, I definitely recommend trying them out!
