Was quite a portion and could easily be shared. I opted for the turkey club. It was a basic sandwich with no frills, though you had to add cheese (they used shredded cheese?). The sandwich was ok for what it was. Overall, the experience was positive; the service was good and the food came out rather quickly.

I'm so disappointed because this used to be our favorite place. The last few visits, the food has…read morebeen noticeably subpar. The menu may look the same, but the quality and preparation of items have changed. For example, the crab cake Benedict used to feature homemade crab cakes, and now it's a fried frozen-style patty. The one-star review is really based on the service experience, and unfortunately it's the reason we won't be returning. While waiting for our table, the manager or possible owner was telling single-party guests there was a 30-minute wait, while parties of three or more were being quoted only 10 minutes. An older woman standing there heard him tell the group in front of her 10 minutes right before he told her 30. The more I thought about it afterward, the more disappointed I was that I didn't speak up in the moment. Treating guests differently based solely on party size is unacceptable and left a very bad impression.

Located in a repurposed turn of the century building,it's got a cool vibe that even works at breakfast. I was surprised how busy they were for a Monday. However,after my first drink of the perfect black coffee they served,I knew I was in the right place. Varied menu with all the usual suspects and well executed. My corned beef hash was excellent, as were my granddaughters breakfast tacos . Get this,it was all served up by a robot! I can't wait to try other menu items as well as their extensive specialty coffee menu. In addition,there is an interesting full bar that needs investigation. Go!

Cookies reminds me of that and it's so special. It is the freshest, most authentic Mexican food you could ask for. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Everyone working there is always so genuinely kind. It's laid back and comfortable with the best vibe. If you think you've had excellent birria at other places--I promise you, you've had nothing until you've had theirs. They offer their quesabirria tacos in both barbacoa and lamb (because it's actually authentic Mexican) and they are total nirvana. And today, my search for the best menudo in Dallas came to an end. This is it and I'm positive I'll be getting it every Saturday that I can during the cooler months. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to trying everything else on their menu. Today we took our order to go and it was packaged completely perfectly with generous salsas and toppings.

On my second visit, I tried a mix of birria de chivo (goat) and birria de res (beef) tacos. The beef was well seasoned and flavorful, but unfortunately the tortillas were a bit too burnt this time. I also decided to try the rice and beans, which ended up being a miss for me. The beans had a canned aftertaste and were very bland, while the rice was dry and also lacking flavor. I tried three of their salsas: salsa verde, salsa verde tatemada (served warm), and the habanero salsa. The two green salsas were decent, but the habanero stood out with great flavor and a nice kick of heat. The staff was super friendly, and service was quick on both visits. Overall, based on consistency and my experience across both trips, I'd rate this spot 3.5 stars.

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.

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.
