I went with the meatloaf since I kept seeing people call it the best thing on the menu, and they were right. It came topped with that house glaze and a pile of mashed potatoes, and it honestly tasted like something my grandma would have put in front of me on a Sunday. We also tried the pot roast, which was fall apart tender, and made room for the cobbler at the end even though we were stuffed. Big portions, fair prices, and the service was warm without being over the top. There is a sweet little story behind the name too if you flip the menu over. This has quietly become one of our regular stops in McKinney and I do not see that changing, especially with the great service and atmosphere!

Our reservations were a…read morebit last minute, so we didn't get there until 8:15pm, but this was kind of nice because the main dining room wasn't very busy. I love the dimmed lights and homey yet upscale feeling this place gives. We had a really amazing server who offered up some great recommendations as first time customers. She had only been there two weeks, but told us she went through a two week training prior so they know their stuff!! Don't be afraid to ask questions. How I would rate our meal: Drinks: I got the amethyst dream and he got the smoke haus. Presentation of both was really nice, enjoyed both drinks but would probably try something different on our next visit. Appetizer: we got the Caesar salad to share. Loved the croutons and the dressing. It seemed a bit small but possibly for one person it would be enough! Entree: I got the crispy chicken breast, the piece of chicken is huge!! All the flavors of the dish come together so well, it's truly one of my most favorite things I've eaten recently! We also tried a side of mashed potatoes which were good and my fiancé got the red fish which he enjoyed. It is pretty light though, so maybe wouldn't recommend if you're REALLY hungry. Dessert: we got the milk and cookies. I wasn't honestly too impressed. I think I expected them to be warmed and gooey and they were not. However reheating the chocolate chip at home was good! For it being a farm to table restaurant, I found the prices to be very reasonable! I already know what I plan to order on our next visit. Also looking forward to bringing some friends/family to the third floor for drinks and live music!

I ended up sitting at the bar since it was just me and that was cool. It wasn't crowded at all but it was still early Saturday. Daniel, the bartender was friendly and made sure I was satisfied. Now for the important stuff...the FOOD!!! Blanco sangria 9/10: this was delicious. Great flavor and the apples were super crisp. Would order this again. Chicken and waffles 7/10: I didn't realize this came with eggs and it had an over easy egg on top when it came out. I had to send it back because I don't eat over easy eggs. I did ask for them scrambled and I didn't take a picture of those, but they were really good. They were cooked to perfection. I wasn't a fan of the waffle. It didn't have much flavor and was a little soggy to me. The chicken didn't have much flavor, was slightly overcooked and a little dry. The breading easily came off of the chicken which I didn't care for. Truffle tater tots 8/10: I love tater tots and these did not disappoint. Perfect serving size nice and crispy and a decent amount of the Parmesan cheese on top.

She constantly checked on me and had great suggestions. If it's your first visit (as it was mine) they give you a free time queso and chips app. So I had that, and also got some of their wings which were delicious and a great portion size. I will definitely be back. It's a great way to spend a nice day and enjoy with friends and/or family.

He was phenomenal! He had the perfect sense of humor, was witty and quick with a joke, and knew exactly how to keep the conversation going.

I started with the fried green tomatoes, which were delicious. For my main course, I ordered the steak and eggs from the brunch menu, and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was exactly how I ordered it, and the eggs were great. we went upstairs to the third-floor rooftop to drink our dessert! I had the espresso martini, and it was fantastic. The rooftop has great views and is such a fun way to end the meal. Overall, Haywire exceeded expectations. Great food, great atmosphere, an awesome rooftop, and phenomenal service. Marcus deserves a special shoutout because he absolutely made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back!

I recently visited Haywire for a surprise brunch celebrating my friend's first anniversary without…read moreher late husband. Unfortunately, my first experience with Haywire was much more awkward and embarrassing than it should have been. The reservation was for 2:15 PM, and I arrived around 1:45-1:50. I went to the first hostess on the first floor and clearly explained that I was there for the Gabrielle G. reservation at 2:15 for a surprise brunch. I was told that the party was already seated and instructed to go upstairs and check in with the hostess there. I did exactly that. I went upstairs and told the second hostess the same thing: that I was there for the Gabrielle G. reservation at 2:15. Again, I was told, "They're already seated." Instead of someone walking me to the table or confirming the name of the reservation, I was given directions to walk to the end of the hallway, make a left, and that I would see them on the left. Here's where things became extremely uncomfortable. I had never met the people at this brunch. They were friends of my friend, so I had no idea what anyone looked like. I walked down the hallway and saw an African American family sitting at a table. Assuming this must be the party I was looking for, I approached them, introduced myself, and asked if they were there for the Gabrielle G. party. They were not. The gentleman explained that his name was Gabriel R., and I immediately realized I had been sent to the wrong table. I was absolutely mortified. Thankfully, the family was incredibly kind and understanding--and, in an unexpected and very generous gesture, they actually ended up paying for our entire table's brunch because of the special occasion. That kindness definitely helped an already awkward situation. What bothered me most was that this could have easily been avoided. I had clearly announced the reservation name and time twice. The hostesses had an opportunity to verify the reservation instead of simply pointing me in a direction. In my opinion, when a guest is arriving for a reservation--especially one they clearly identify as a specific party--the guest should be escorted to the correct table or the reservation should at least be confirmed before directing them elsewhere. The second hostess interaction was especially disappointing. She seemed distracted and, when I initially approached, was on her phone and took a few moments to acknowledge me. Once the mix-up happened, I felt as though I was being looked at as if I had somehow caused the confusion, rather than the situation being handled with accountability and professionalism. I will say, however, that once I was finally seated, the experience improved significantly. My server was wonderful--very friendly, attentive, and personable--and provided great service throughout the meal. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name, but he deserves recognition. The food was also good, and the remainder of the brunch was enjoyable. So, my overall experience with Haywire was definitely mixed. The food and table service were good, but the initial customer service and check-in process left a lot to be desired. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected a smoother and more attentive welcome. I'm sharing this review because mistakes happen, but how a restaurant handles those mistakes matters just as much. A simple confirmation and escort to the correct table could have prevented an extremely awkward and embarrassing experience.

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.

For food I had the breakfast sandwich and it was good. Pretty basic but everything from the toppings to the eggs were fresh and cooked well. The pancake was good and big so glad I tried it. Overall it's a great local spot that I will check out again.

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.

Outside, i didn't even know it was a place to grab food, it looks very unassuming. when i walked inside, i also wasn't sure it was a place to get food. i legit thought it was a home good store/market. it has a rustic vibe inside. But we ended up getting one focaccia bread and a jalapeno/ham grilled cheese. one thing i didn't like was the wait. I saw the sandwiches and thought it was going to be quick to heat them up.... no, it took around 15 mins to get out food. I assumed it was taking a while since they were making it from scratch. At least the food was delicious. I do like they fact they give a small chocolate chip cookie with each order. As mentioned earlier, its located in the heart of downtown Mckinney. Parking may be hard during the weekend, so you may need to park a bit away.
