    Vanilla Sky cocktail

    Large spacious area. There is indoor, outdoor, and pet area sitting. Love their happy hour specials! I did order a Vanilla Sky cocktail ($11) and UB pretzel bites ($8). Service was quick and efficient.

    We made a reservation for our family of five and I am so glad we did - this place is busy! We waited in a short line to check in and were immediately seated once we checked in. Our booth was very comfortable and easily fit our family of five. The noise level is above average, but not for a sports bar/brewery. It was just right for us. We could talk, but didn't to worry about anyone being disturbed by our kids being a little louder than normal. The menu isn't big, so I suggest perusing before arriving, especially if you have dietary restrictions or are picky. Our family settled on + Korean Shrimp Tacos (no dairy). The kitchen was super careful not to include any dairy in my tacos. They were tasty, but I didn't realize the shrimp would be fried and the slaw would be removed to accomodate my no dairy request. I would pick something else next time. + Big Tavern Burger for my husband and he loved it! Even the fries were a hit. + Big Tavern Burger with cheese and grilled onions only for one of the kids. + Plain hamburger and a single meat patty for our other two kiddos. + Hubby and I both got unsweet iced teas and the tea was brewed just right. Our waitress was wonderful, I hate that I forgot her name. She was friendly and kept our waters and iced tea full the whole time. She was never hard to find if we needed something, but gave us space to enjoy our dinner too. We will definitely be back!

    I met up with a friend for some green beer and shenanigans on St. Patrick's day, Grace and Emma were our servers both were "amazing like Grace!" To start of course Green Beer, it was refreshing nothing to over the top like an IPA. Starter we shared the sweet and spicy shrimp-Tempura battered, Thai sweet chili and napa slaw...yes please! So full of flavor! Due to the festivities we both decided on the fish and chips the batter was light and airy it comes with three pieces which is plenty. The fries are a MUST! Desert to share was the Lemon Blue Berry cake...RUN and get this NOW! Overall I had an amazing experience and will definitely be back!

    We have absolutely no complaints! We came on a whim on a Saturday and I forgot to take pictures because we were enjoying it so much. First of all, sit on the heated patio. It's Texas in the winter, you will be fine. But in all seriousness it is enclosed and the heaters keep you comfy. Second, the chicken fingers are the most juicy chicken fingers that you'll ever have. Also what place these days gives you the superior dipping sauces that you have to have and need when enjoying a dish of this caliber! Also, the Brussels sprouts slaw was so good our 10 month old devoured it with the chicken fingers. The Caesar salad was needy level. Again, if a place gives you fresh cracked pepper on your Caesar, you must return. It is law. This salad was amazing, and the Parmesan was even flavorful. Who says that? We also got the strawberry paper plan, don't get if you want something sweet. But if you're a real one who likes a Savory drink, DO IT!! We will be back!

    Gorgeous space, superb staff, lovely food- vegan options!!! And good beer. Can't go wrong. I love their beer. Exited to come try their new McKinney location. So excited about the falafel burger. Salty but delicious!! Plant based goodness!! Patio sitting at its finest.

    Quite good; diverse menu with great options and of course an incredible beer selection. Service is snappy and crisp - very attentive staff / reflecting great management! Food quality is good; order the loaded chips as an appetizer and you may not order anything else! Good staff good food and great location in McKinney- small parking lot so get there early ! Ambience is a tad loud when they are packed - beautiful patio for outdoor dining as well.

    This restaurant is in a great location and very aesthetically pleasing decor wise. They have a decent menu; definitely would come here for drinks over food. I've been here three times now with friend invites and it's okay food wise. Definitely edible but nothing that really is memorable or amazing. Service is good overall; two visits it was excellent and the other it was okay. We've ordered the salmon, a flat bread (honey pig), the fish and chips, the pretzel, the poke bowl, the Brussels, pork rinds and the sweet and spicy shrimp. The salmon is good but the sides with it are just eh. The fish and chips are not worth your money. Very bland and the breading is too heavy. Wasn't impressed with the Brussels, or the pork rinds. The pretzel bites honestly were my favorite things here. The shrimp appetizer was okay as well. Feel it's a tad over priced for the taste. Fun spot for hanging out and drinking; but for eating it's not my jam.

    Falling Leaves cocktail

    Stopped by for the first time to eat lunch today and we loved it. Quick seating, great atmosphere, and our waitress, Kennedy, took amazing care of us. We had the pretzel bites to start, then for entrees: fish & chips (great batter) and the grilled pork chop. Everything came out hot and was so delicious! My partner had a couple beers, and I tried the Pear-ry Jam and Falling Leaves cocktails from the seasonal menu. Both were incredible! We both left happy, full, and ready to come by again soon!

    We had some friends visiting and we needed a place for an afternoon weekend outing. We decided on Union Bear Brewing and I'm glad we did. First and foremost the cocktails were great! We ordered from both the seasonal drink menu and regular and all around we were happy. I was a little skeptical about the pizza with it being deep dish, we were just looking for a small bite but after seeing it (our friend's ordered one) I will definitely be trying the white pie next time! The wings were quite salty and the fries were really nothing special, but at least they were crispy! None of the other appetizers really stood out to me though. The interior is really pretty and has a great patio. Great place to catch some sports with a friendly staff as well. They do have their own parking lot with maybe 10 spots otherwise there are other parking options like street parking and parking garages in the area.

    Food was passable Drink was too sweet and beer was not as chilled as we would have like it. But overall not a bad place Service was good and ambience was quiet

    First time trying this place and for the most part, enjoyed what we ordered. The decor is a modern lounge/bar and looked really nice. We sat on the patio as it was a nice day out. We started with a beer, a glass of wine, and a "caddy", which is similar to a frozen margarita. The caddy was quite sour and ok. This place didn't have any cider, but I think they may be looking into potentially offering one at some point. Food wise, we split a big tavern burger, which was cooked well and was quite tasty. The fires were probably my favorite. They were the size of McD fries, but really crispy! The crisp dry-sliced wings lived up to their name. They were incredibly crispy and jam packed with seasoning. IMO, they were heavily seasoned, but some might enjoy that. The service was great and I could see us going back at some point.

    We came to this restaurant to grab a quick dinner in the area on a hot summer evening. Even though we showed up without reservations, seating was not too hard and the wait was not too long. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside and the outside area was also very nice with a beautiful covered porch and well scattered tables. It might be the New York in me, and the fact that I am not as acclimatized to Texas Summers anymore, but when we got to our outside table and sat down, it felt like I was going to die. I really do think that the misters and whatever situation they have for climate control on the outside Porch are simply not enough and they definitely need to add more fans. To start off, I ordered the dry rubbed chicken wings that were absolutely phenomenal, they were cooked perfectly, and I loved the dusting on them. Beer were served cold, but lacked foam on top, which makes it go warm quicker. For my entrée, I went with the trout and was slightly disappointed. The flavors sounded delicious on paper, but did not work too well for me. The slaw was on the dry side and could've used a lot more of that lemony sauce. Arugula was largely missing from the plate and the texture of those dried chickpeas was way off, I would rather prefer them to be crunchy, than dehydrated and soft. They literally added nothing to the dish. The filet of trout itself was cooked very well. I loved the cornmeal dusting and the crunchiness that it added to the exterior of the fish. For dessert, we went with the brownie and I absolutely loved the textures on it. The ice cream paired well, and I loved the little bits of toffee. This was definitely a texture girlie's dream. Overall, I would say this restaurant was a hit or miss, and I hope that they can make some improvement based on my feedback.

    UB pretzel bites
    Allyn D.

    The chicken tender was delicious; I definitely love the Brussel sprout slaw that came with it. The crunchy almonds in the slaw added the wonderful taste to it . My son got the pretzel bites, and it tasted okay , almost reminding me of baguette. I didn't care much for the beer cheese dip though. Place was full so we ended up sitting outdoors which was a little hot. They had shades and fans so it wasn't so bad despite the triple digit temp. The service was fast and our server was attentive. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back and trying other things. I saw some interesting and nicely plate food serve to other guests.

Our server was attentive and you could tell that a lot of locals swing by because she knew a lot of people coming in. The seating is first come first serve so be prepared for that.

We love downtown McKinney and so many establishments have that southern charm, friendly service, and just love people. We always bring in a group of paying patrons. Early on we felt there was a clickish vibe, but never thought anything about it. We make friends everywhere, since we are travelers . Last few months we noticed a shift, bartender ruder, lack of service, the regulars shifting their gaze as if something was wrong. Last night ended that for us, and I'm sure they will be thrilled. Our bonus son chose to come here for his celebratory event. We invited a variety of people we knew, local talents, professionals, and family. Hateful comments about having a few balloons and party hats and how "you BETTER clean all that UP, I'm not doing it." We were treated with disdain. No service, each person had to get our own menu when we were ready to order, , and silverware after food was served, no one took our drink orders, when we went to the bar-our tabs were closed after each drink order. The bartender, Chevon, (who is always there) was rude and ugly to our whole group and to those she didn't even know was in our group. The new DJ, (Shawn) skipped over our friend twice. Chevron (bartender) who didn't know the person she was speaking to was my sister, said "I hate that guy, all he sings is rock songs." I mean... it karaoke. And that guy she's talking about has been bringing a group of people here for over a year. So carry on the "high school drama" there are a ton of places in McKinney that are lovely and welcoming. When you are hateful to singers, doctors, nurses, business owners, and veterans... that news will travel fast. And as rude and ugly as this review is, it's not near as rude or ugly as we were treated, individually and as a group. If you are gonna be bias to people, you don't need to be serving them. It's sad, because I know Karen and what Spoons means to her and her family. I hope they clean house and start over in the back. FYI (Shawn was a really nice DJ, he was so kind to people celebrating others.) But other than that, I wouldn't recommend The Garage for any new Collin County resident, any bridal party, bachelor party, or group celebrating anything... you can DM me and I'll give you a personal list of plenty of places to go. Many of them walking distance.

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.

It's clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. We were equally impressed by Connie, the manager on duty. She was incredibly welcoming, professional, and present throughout the evening. Connie went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and her leadership and hospitality were evident in every interaction. Between Gabby's exceptional service and Connie's attention to detail, they elevated an already wonderful meal into a truly memorable experience. Great food brings people in, but great people are what make guests want to come back--and Gabby and Connie are excellent examples of that.

    What sets Local Yocal apart is that they run their own butcher shop, so you can actually taste the…read moredifference in the meat before anybody even brings out a sauce. It is a little nicer than your average barbecue joint, tucked into an old renovated warehouse in downtown McKinney, but it still feels laid back once you settle in. I came in mostly for the chicken fried steak after hearing people rave about it, and it lived up to the hype. Crispy crust, tender inside, and that smoky twist they put on it makes it stand out from any other version I have had in town. My buddy ordered a Wagyu steak and could not stop talking about how well it was cooked, which tracks given they cut their own beef. We split the mac and cheese with chopped brisket on the side and that thing is dangerous, rich and loaded with meat. Prices run a bit higher than a typical smokehouse, but the quality earns it.

It was a warm pink middle and a crusty exterior. The sauces were a great accompaniment. I didn't much care for the red wine reduction, but the chimichurri and the creamy horseradish were outstanding. The Caesar salad was delicious and executed well. All the food hit the spot and made me want to try even more of the menu. Our waitress was very kind and had the southern hospitality and accent down pat haha! She gave us fast service and was very attentive. The unique factor for me here was the back story. I heard the owner has a ranch up north which is where the meat is sourced from and he also has a Local Yocal Farm to Market shop close by the restaurant which I'm looking forward to checking out as well. I give it a five stars because I am looking forward to going back for more delicious food and sharing the meal with friends!
