    French dip
    Kara S.

    Dan's is my favorite place to go to in Saline. Fun place to go to if you're looking to meet up for a drink, they have a huge draft list and a cute bar area. Food here is always great too-their fries and ranch are the best! Service is always great, and food usually comes out fast. They recently redid their dining area and it looks great. During the summer they also have outdoor seating which is nice!

    Dan's is the definition of great bar food. A seat yourself restaurant with a casual atmosphere. Servers are always friendly and accommodating. I've been a supporter of Dans for years as it used to be the best place to grab a burger around town. However, I'm a little disappointed with the change to smash burgers and removal of their awesome beer battered fries. Instead of one thick burger patty it's two thin patties that are hard to order rare. Just one reviewers option but I will always opt for a thick patty over a smash burger. Toppings, fries and drinks are still great and we'll likely be back for other menu items!

    Fantastic food, hands-down. Folks are a little rough around the edges however, Dans culinary skills are epic.

    Always a solid spot to grab a drink or get some good bar food. The pizza is pretty decent, same with the French dip.

I can only speak to the drinks and service but this was one of the best Amaretto Sours I've ever had! So flavorful and finally one that isn't overly sweet and has a nice crisp cherry taste to it. Our waiter was awesome and very attentive but allowed us to hang out for an hour and a half with just drinks. The rest of the time he was thoroughly scrubbing the floors and every inch of the empty tables. A great sign of cleanliness and attention to detail. I will be coming back to try out the food, the menu was extensive and seemed to have a great variety. I wish I hadn't been so full from dinner otherwise I would've tried something!

All she did was grab two menus and say in our general direction "follow me." She didn't engage in any small talk, just put the menus on a table right next to the bar (she didn't ask us where we would like to sit, although there were plenty of empty tables) pointed at the table and walked away. Our server was barely more personable, acted like she would rather be anywhere doing anything than at Mac's serving us dinner. The food was also mediocre, certainly didn't taste as if it had been prepared by a real chef. I ordered the shrimp and lobster fettuccine. The sauce was thin and bland. My husband's entre was better, but in his opinion not outstanding. While we were eating dinner the bored wait staff( most of whom seemed to be very young) were plying some kind of game and running around in the restaurant. No adult seemed to be in charge. While we were eating across from a tv tuned to a rodeo , I noticed that the place also wasn't very clean. In sum, given that that the tab with tip was $100 +, not a good value, and certainly not the kind of anniversary dinner we had in mind. We won't be going back any time soon, which is a shame because Mac's used to be a reliably good, and sometimes, even excellent, restaurant.

The staff were super friendly and sat us right away, which set a good tone from the start. The environment was lively but still very family‑friendly, which I really appreciated. They have a solid variety of drinks and beers. I ordered a mojito, at first sip it tasted like water, but after stirring it up it turned out to be really well balanced and refreshing. For food, I had the lemon pepper wings and my husband had the buffalo wings. Both were perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the sauces were spot on. Definitely some of the better wings we've had in a while. We'll definitely be going back! I've got my eye on the steak fries for next time.

Waitress seemed annoyed that we weren't ordering food right away. So, we put in an appetizer order while we waited. The Quesorizo was okay, but the portion was tiny. We put in our order before our sixth arrived as they told us what they wanted. The food started arriving fairly quickly which was good. But the waitress put in an order for a regular chicken tenders meal for one of my daughters instead of the one from the kid's menu. I ordered the "El Gordo" Burrito with beef. It was a lackluster item filled with regular ground beef that was not seasoned. I didn't finish it. My wife and oldest daughter got the buffalo chicken mac and cheese - which they normally love - but they said it was not very good today. And to top it all off, our waitress disappeared for about 10 minutes forcing us to go up to the bar to get drinks/refills and request a new set of silverware because my son dropped his on the ground. I do not plan on going here again.

Do yourself a favor stop in for breakfast or lunch. They are open from 7am - 3pm.
