Great experience at Union Bear Brewing Co…read more Customer service was on point. Our waitress checked on us just enough without smothering us. I'm not a fan of constant interruptions while eating, so that balance was appreciated. The place itself is awesome. Plenty of TVs, a great layout, outdoor patio, and a great bar area. Perfect hangout spot whether you're with family, friends, or just grabbing lunch solo. Prices are reasonable and competitive with similar spots. The downtown McKinney location is ideal and easy walking distance to other shops and restaurants, so no need to keep driving around. Food was great. The burger was juicy and flavorful even well done. The salmon was also well done with crispy edges and a slab of butter that melted right over it great flavor. Hoping that butter option is available for the steak because that's next on my list. Sides were solid too. Only thing I wasn't big on was the fries. They're super thin, so they were crispy but had a slightly hard, borderline stale texture. Just my opinion though. overall still a great experience. Definitely coming back. Burger and salmon were outstanding, customer service was great, and the atmosphere makes it a spot worth checking out with family or friends.

We made a reservation for our family of five and I am so glad we did - this place is busy!…read more 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!

Room One Eleven is a bar behind a coke fridge door... and the concept of a speakeasy doesn't excuse poor service. Simply having a Coca-Cola door doesn't make you a speakeasy. They don't understand they're in the hospitality business.The night ended with a staff member Erick COKED-OUT and became confrontational and unprofessional. It's clear management, specifically Felipe, needs to focus more on team accountability and less on the aesthetic. There's no point in returning ever. I feel bad for the bartenders, wasted potential. Erick and Felipe are like two 15 year old boys waiting to pick a fight. Insecure and emotional immaturity. Walking with a chip on your shoulder in the hospitality world is just asking for problems. Good luck to any person trying to have a good time, this place isn't it.

The atmosphere felt thoughtfully curated, giving the space a polished, upscale energy while still maintaining a warm, inviting charm. Zac, our waiter, truly elevated the experience.

There was also something uniquely charming about the place; it carried that subtle, "cute layer" you don't always find, especially in a small-town setting. It felt special without trying too hard.

With a side Caesar salad and they make their own croutons - another winner! We topped our meal off with Strawberry cake - I was not disappointed! The waiter, Kenneth, was very personable and made great recommendations. He was on top of it all too. You know how some places the wirier doesn't have enough time for you - or they over serve you. Not here. The whole expletive was just right. Ana there is an air of relaxing/enjoying yourself in this place. I judge places by this question - will I come back, and the answer is YES!

The most exciting part of that for me is that once I knew that, I KNEW the food would be great! The Garage ambiance is just what you would expect, a converted garage with roll-up doors and about 20 tables if you include the patio. Just like it's the food is the same great great food, the service is the same great service (and same great servers). Kenneth took great care of us. I ordered the Low Rider Sandwich. It was a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and house made pesto sauce. It hit the spot! This restaurant is a repeater for me, so give them a try!

Pretty spacious place that offers a wide range of food and drink options. Everything we ordered tasted great, came out in a timely manner, and everyone devoured what they had. We ordered a pepperoni flatbread, which was crispy and the perfect portion. The Mac and cheese had far more flavor than I expected and was eaten without a fuss and in its entirety (for a kid, that's a feat). The burger was simple, but great. The wings were extra crispy, and the different drinks were tasty as well. Our server was fantastic and we will certainly be back one evening.

Its located in the same parking lot as the elementary school and is the only restaurant/bar in the parking lot. Upon walking in you'll see the bar and plenty of seating as well as a patio. Since we came in the middle of the week on a late afternoon we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Our waitress came over who was really sweet and had that southern Texas charm. I ordered the elote with homemade tortilla chips, gluten free Mac n cheese and my mom got a flatbread. Hands down that mac n cheese was the best I ever had, it was so creamy but not over powering with that bold cheese flavor and it was made with gf penne pasta (I know a little weird.. but it was the only gf noodle choice I had). If you don't have an allergy I'm sure the regular noodles are just as good! So if you want that comfort food that Texas is known for, this is the place to check out if you're in Celina.

A one-day difference, especially for a family celebration, could have easily been handled with a little kindness or flexibility, but instead we were met with rigid policies and zero customer appreciation. The food was ok, but customer service and how management treats families matter just as much. What should have been a special birthday outing turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience because of how uncompromising the manager was. It felt more like they cared about technicalities than creating good customer experiences. Sadly, this lack of consideration left a bad impression, and we won't be returning. There are plenty of other restaurants that value customer loyalty and know how to make celebrations feel special.

My friend and I walked circles around the property trying to figure out where we can sit or even place an order. Finally, we found someone and we requested to sit outside away from a heater. Well....there was apparently no "outside servers" that day. This was very confusing because there were many staff members just standing chatting with customers who already paid ages ago. The food was very salty and it tasted like it's been sitting there for a while. Additionally, the infamous waffle fries came out lukewarm which was very unpleasant. The entire time we were in the restaurant I see all the staff chatting it up with the same customers who happened to later buy them all food. I guess thats how you get their attention. Because somehow, we never got any refills or even our check. Keep in mind there wasn't many people in the restaurant itself at that time.

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.
