    I was told that this food truck in McKinney is a good spot for boiled crawfish. I had to check it out although it was a 45 minute drive. I'm not complaining though. I'll definitely travel for good food. I enjoyed the crawfish. They were actually well seasoned. Not the sprinkle of seasoning on the outside but the crawfish itself. No wait. Friendly staff. Outdoor seating. Other food trucks are in the area. I do have one grievance, however. They may want to rebalance their weigh scale because no way was that 3 lbs of crawfish. I overhead someone else at another table making a similar comment regarding theirs. When I mentioned it to my coworker, she said she thought the same thing when she went. So, whatever you normally order, order at least a pound more.

    Crawfish, shrimp, corn and potatoes

    If you want juicy and spicy crawfish you gotta go here. The shrimp was amazing with great flavor. Worth the drive!

    Crawfish Combo #1 - 2 pounds, 2 corn, 2 potatoes, sausage and 2 mushrooms.

    Been a fan of Twisted Tails for years. I've never had anything there that I didn't love. Family owned and great service. The crawfish is FULL of flavor and not the sprinkle on top flavor. We've also ordered live crawfish from them multiple times for our own boil. Excellent ! Highly recommend.

    Jake, the owner is super nice amazing vibes. Everyone is super kind there. Their crawfish is as big or bigger than my hand the flavor no one else has. These are the best in the DFW area. I will be back every weekend until they're out of season. Thank you Jake for everything. You're the man

    Don't go too late. They were out of veggies!! But crawfish was good! Not too salty or spicy. We got 5 lbs for about 10 per pound. Crawfish was on the smaller side maybe too early in the season. Will go back!

    Traditional crawfish, corns, potatoes and Cajun sausage

    The guy that took my order came off blunt while I was asking questions being a first time customer. Besides that, the crawfish was good and traditional juicy if you like to suck the heads, hot and spicy! BYOB! Outdoor seating only.

    Food was ok but I felt like the price was to high and the grease was old. We had the 3 piece catfish and shrimp.

    The fried Cajun catfish and shrimp were both seasoned and fried to perfection, and the portions…read morewere massive. The fries were solid, and the cocktail sauce was surprisingly great--I don't usually like cocktail sauce, but I finished it. Service was excellent. Since it was my first time, they helped me navigate the menu and recommended some of their most popular items. The patio is nice, cozy, and covered--perfect for a meal like this. The inside had a nostalgic feel that reminded me of my college cafeteria in a good way, and I actually enjoyed it. And the bread pudding--man, easily top three I've ever had. Honestly, it might even be number one. It was that good.

    I wanted to support a small business and came across this neighborhood spot…read more Ambiance is clean, simple and fun. I love all the different size fishes on the wall. Service is good the employee taking my order was pleasant. Food was decent and my FISH came out hot. I chose the 2 piece fried fillet combo with fries and hush puppies. LET me breakdown the combo meal. French Fries were well seasoned and served hot. The hush puppies were delicious. They were fried perfectly. The fish was fried nicely, but lacked in seasoning and flavor. You say you are a CAJUN fish grill. I want to taste it. So the fish fell flat and the fries and hush puppies were the star of the meal. Overall a decent meal and I always enjoy a new experience and supporting smaller businesses.

    Decor is rather austere with no personality.  Oh, and the floor needed sweeping.

    We love coming to downtown McKinney, and we typically stay loyal to one local restaurant but today…read morewe decided to give Urban Grill a try. We're glad we did. We started with the bangbang shrimp, which was delicious...a perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and crunchy, served on a bed of slaw. My husband had the burger and loved how prominent the brisket flavor was; the meat was cooked to perfection, and the fries were crispy. I had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes, peppercorn gravy and nicely cooked asparagus. The filet on its own was tender, juicy, and beautifully peppered. For drinks, we had the rosemary old fashioned...smooth and chilled, though nothing stood out about it. The lavender mule was a refreshing mocktail. Service was great-thank you, Eric! The general manager was also very friendly. You can book your reservation via OpenTable.

    We came in during a busy, lively St. Patrick's weekend and were pleasantly surprised to be seated…read moreright away. Our server took our order almost immediately. There was a bit of a wait for the food, but that was totally understandable given how packed and energetic the place was. We started with the Brussels sprouts with sweet chili, which was absolutely delicious. They were a little more tender on the inside than I typically prefer, but the flavor more than made up for it. My husband ordered the ahi and really enjoyed it, while my son had the bacon smash burger, which he loved. I went with the carbonara, which was lovely overall. The only thing I would've liked is a stronger presence of the creamy egg flavor rather than a more standard cream taste. All in all, we had a great experience and would definitely come back again.

    This is one of my to go to places for lunch when I'm in the area…read more The food is consistently delicious and the portions are perfect. The staff are always friendly, attentive and professional. There's always pop music playing in the background that you Don't have to try and talk over. I got the lunch special Black Sherry Linguine (personal favorite). Yummy! It also comes in larger portion than photo I uploaded.

    First of all I like a new experience. So, I am glad we tried…read moreit out. I am going to start with the service. We sat in the bar area at a booth. The bartender has such a sunny and sweet demeanor. I am giving her a 6 out of five. My drink was the painkiller, I am giving that a five out of five. So wherever I go I order fried green tomatoes. Now I am conflicted. The green tomatoes were almost ripe. However, the seasoning, the breading, and the shrimp on top were seasoned to perfection. So altogether I will give a 2.5.I didn't order red fried tomatoes. I had the Haddock and Linguine. I don't have to have it again. The Haddock tasted burnt on the bottom. Now I know it could have been delicious because when I put it in the sauce with capers it tasted much better. I am giving the dish a 2. My partner had the oysters they said they have had better broiled oysters and gave them a 3. However, their main dish they give a 4.5. Total experience is an honest for me 3.8. I will round up and give them a four. Try it for yourself you may like it.
