We spent our afternoon on the patio at Stix. The food was great. We all loved the onion dip and queso. Atmosphere was very enjoyable Best service I have had in forever, our waiter AJ was fantastic, we were impressed with how the wait staff worked together and were so friendly. Definatelt do not skip the frozen cosmopolitan. read more

We were in a mood to eat burgers and found Stix on Yelp since we wanted to look at a new place, our regulars are Rodeo Goat and Kenney's. Had read great reviews which was reassuring. You have to seat yourself - there were enough vacant tables to pick from. Within a few minutes, our server was over and helped us narrow down on what we wanted to order. I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu. read more

We've come here a handful of times now. It's such a fun place. We bring our dogs and daughter and hang out. Lots of outside fun and games for kids, a disc golf course on sight, and GREAT gluten free options. Definitely a must! read more

The atmosphere here is incredible we have been there multiple times they have trivia nights that are off the chart and the out door area is second to none. The service is always casual and happy and they are always looking after the customers. The food is good I have had a burger, Chicken fried steak, the chipper dipper with 2 dips and the fried pickles which I would recommend highly. BUT if you are ever tempted to get the Jambalaya Soup run! It is bland and has a weird texture. The "Sausage" are hot dogs and it's awful. Also for clarification jambalaya is not soup. Go to Stix Icehouse I will go back but stay away from the Jambalaya soup. read more

The Stix is a fun family/dog friendly spot off Eldorado in McKinney. Visited today w some friends and came away impressed. Our waitress Charlie was friendly and attentive. My friend raved about their fried bologna sammie and it did not disappoint. Wifey had a salmon salad and she was very pleased. Try their fried jalepeno/ranch appetizer too. read more

This place was great especially if you have kids! There's a lot of activities for them to do and you can watch them play from the patio area. The food was great! I got the catfish and the pieces were huge! The service was amazing as well even being as busy as they were! Will definitely be back! read more

The fried jalapeños are my favorite! There is a massive outdoor area with several different play areas for children.

Great family friendly restaurant and bar in McKinney. The food and menu was nothing to write home about but they have tons of space for little ones and the Christmas decor was a nice touch. They have a huge outdoor play field with options to kick a soccer ball around, tire swing, and tree house. Our toddlers loved it! read more

Now this a very fun place to be anytime of the day or week! Not only do they have so many fun things scheduled but even their seating and was so varied and mismatched that it had a quaint like-able ambience , like you are at a house party at your friend's home! Everywhere you eyes go there are interesting things on the wall and ceiling with customer appreciation notes such to quite a few areas! Courtney , who waited on us was charming , courteous and genuinely happy to be doing what she is doing! She gave us a lay of huge space that is the Stix and also bout the events held here! We ordered the Poison Apple (drink of the month)) which was great fun ! And The Aluminum Cowboy glass of beer was cold and refreshing! We had ordered the Burger with blue cheese and the salmon with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes. Both were made fresh and prepared with care to make them both outstanding in taste and presentation. We plan to visit them over the weekend and evenings to enjoys the events organized here read more

First off, Shout out to Peyton, our server, for going above and beyond in making our dining experience special. He was so knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. Thanks again, Peyton. The food...so many choices and so hard to pick just one. I ended up getting the Chase Man's Breakfast Burrito with the steak covered in queso. It was very tasty yet a bit dry which was remedied with more queso. My friend had the grilled bourbon salmon and loved it. The restaurant was a little loud but had a great family friendly feel to it. The place was huge but the service made it feel quaint. Will be back if ever in the area. read more

They need a host. It's open seating, and it's chaos on a busy evening. People become very aggressive claiming tables.

This place is really really crowded food is good music is good you just have may have a difficult time finding a table but then what does that say about the place. read more

Cute little place, but if you're looking for ice cold beer (as advertised), this is not the place for you! Ordered an ice cold Dos equis, dressed with 3 limes. We received a plastic cup of warm beer with 1 lime ... Immediately knew it was not the place for us so we asked for our check. The check was $7.58 total. Handed her a $10 She brought us back $ 2. Planning to leave the remainder as a tip... but curious, we asked why she didn't include the $.42 and she said "well that's just the way we usually do it; if it would've been over $.50 we would've rounded up... that's just what we've always done... I would otherwise have to ask the bartender for change every time... (does that make sense?) - yes ... ^^ that is exactly what she said! As we were leaving, she asked, "did you want me to go get the $.42 we giggled as we were leaving. read more

Really fun place to go with the family on a weekend. When the weather is good this is a must go kinda place.

I swung in on my way out of town. I wasn't super hunger but I knew I had to eat something since I would be traveling. The weather was nice so they had the dining room opened up to the back. I went with the 1/2 & 1/2 Lunch. The Czar salad with candied Serrano peppers was pretty good. I'd never heard of candied peppers but I saw it on the menu in a couple locations. The Queen's Turkey Club had blueberry balsamic jam. It wasn't anything too special. I'd probably come back the next time I'm in town. read more

This place was so cool! Even on a rainy day, seems to be very family friendly & also just a cool place for adults. I enjoyed the Cali chicken sandwich & the funnel fries. Service was decent, I like how you choose your own table & the server just comes to you read more

Frozen burgers frozen chicken strips. Taste is off, which is sad because place is cool but food is severely lacking.

This place has been on our must try place to eat. Finally got to try on eve of our anniversary with another couple. They have open seating, we got there little before 9pm. seated ourselves. Ordered beers and nachos as appetizers. Beers were great, nachos were not so good, thin and burnt. Ordered the appetizer sampler on the happy hour menu and frozen marg with blood orange flavor and tajin on the cup. Orders had mix up, we got the fried pickles instead of fried jalapeño's and marg came with salt instead of tajin. Waitress was nice enough to give us fried Jalapeño's and another marg with Tajin. Appetizer sampler was great, fried Jalapeños are a must try. SO ordered Veg tacos and we ordered patty melt. Tacos and patty melt tasted great. Overall a good experience and good food. read more

Jose was awesome! Funny and quick. He recommended the best drinks and food. We were pleased and the kids played a lot

Really cool locally owned restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. So many cool things for kids and adults to do (cornhole, ping ping, disc golf etc). Got the Frito pie which was alright nothing too crazy but loved the appetizers we got. Also has good happy hour specials. Would for sure recommend!! Will absolutely return. read more

The place was busy, it's a seat-yourself kind of place. The vibe is very lively and jolly, the current theme is Tinsel town, some employees are wearing Christmas outfits. The Grinch came by and went to say hi to the kids. The alcoholic beverages were pretty good, they don't skimp on the alcohol for sure! I ordered the Serrano ceasar salad, it was a little spicy and sweet. I added blackened Salmon which is a little bit on the salty side( I think i prefer the original Caesar salad ). My son likes his burger with bbq sauce , fried onion and bacon. Hubby had the dirty dog which he likes, I didn't care much for the chili sauce that came with it, had a little bit much cumin I think. Our Server was very friendly and she made sure to check on us . The live music was an added bonus. I would definitely come back again, the place and the vibe is pretty fun. read more

Back again for another birthday. This time with 17 people. These folks do not miss a lick. Our waiter, Mikie (sp), was quick on his feet and somehow kept the flow of delights going without missing a beat. The onion dip is greatly improved. Dymond came by a few times to check on us. She asked if the restaurant could take a few pics for the wall. We, once again, had an assortment of menu items, from Salmon, Chili, Patty Melts, to Quesadillas. No one had complaints. Thanks so much. Can't wait for the Garland TX location to open. read more

We had a good meal Cesar salad and tortilla soup with Serrano peppers via our great waiter AJ who kept us well attended.

What a great place with such a great atmosphere. Some friends wanted to meet up, so this place was picked. It's open seating, so we found a table on the patio. This place is dog friendly, so dogs were on the patio. I ended up ordering the grilled shrimp tacos with a chipotle sauce and pickled onions and slaw. They were fantastic. There is a live band that comes out eventually, it was extremely loud, so we moved inside. We ordered fried pickles and fajita steak nachos later in the night. The fried pickles were really good and flavorful and the nachos were amazing. I stuck with ranch waters, and they were really good. I loved the vibe of this place, so I'll definitely come back. read more

The server was great, the food was good and the kids loved the outdoor space where they could run and pkay!

This is the second time we've been here and it never has disappointed so far the food is amazing probably some of the best chicken fried steak my family has tried and that says a lot! The service is friendly, welcoming and attentive Our server tonight was Eric and he did great, and so did everyone from the person who dropped off our drinks to the boxes after the meal staff here definitely makes you feel welcomed. The ambience is perfect inside and out. Inside you have pool, Pac-Man,TVs, the bar and outside was perfect especially when it's great weather! Great place to bring the family kids, coworkers all around highly recommend coming here. You won't be disappointed. read more

We had a great time at Stix Ice House! Charlie was an outstanding server--super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the visit. Her trainee Keira was also doing a great job, and you can tell she's learning from the best. The food was delicious as well, which made the whole experience even better. I will be returning to Stix! read more

We used to come here all the time as the atmosphere was awesome, employees were friendly, and the food and drinks were great. When I say all the time I mean 2/3 times a week with a group ranging from 5-20 people. Unfortunately this is not the case anymore. Over the last year we have all seen a decline in the overall atmosphere. The staff is still nice and polite but you can tell they don't enjoy being there anymore. A couple weeks ago we ended up going in for an after work drink while traffic died down. I watched on of the blonde managers almost yell at a server in front of everyone inside. This got me thinking about how we noticed the change in atmosphere. I'm not sure if the owners and management really read these reviews but you should definitely take a look at your employees and see what's going on. I can't be the only one who's noticed. read more

Always great service. I prefer to sit at the bar to get the fastest service but sometimes we have our pup so we sit on the patio. read more

The staff gives off cool vibes . The Cookie Monster dessert rocks!! The beef fajita nachos are good for 4 people sharing them, and you can make them spicy. Pattie Melt is enough for 2 people that eat an appetizer, also. Several outdoor activities, but be careful where you park at night. read more

We had the BBQ burger Blue Cheese burger and they were good and seasoned well. We enjoyed the band and the customer service. The reason for not 5 is because I had to send my side of onion strings back due to a hair was on it. read more
