A really great midweek neighborhood place to stop by and hang out with friends. The food is always of the consistently high-quality and the service is super fast. I really like how they manage their entire restaurant to accommodate busy times without giving up on service. They have a blackberry margarita that is to die for. I have often stopped by at this restaurant to meet Friends or for a quick drink. Great place. read more

On a Saturday night it is posted J Mack's closes at 11 BUT you cannot get food at even 10:24! Apparently not one thing. SO why stay open? Not a person in there only workers because why? Well.. it is a restaurant without food!! read more

We love J Macklins! We live in Argyle and come here at least once every two weeks and are never disappointed. We ate here last night and had the best server, Ali. He was very attentive, very quick with requests, informed us of specials and future events and was just an all around pleasant person to work with. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food as always! read more

Went back today and Cameron was awesome. Food was just as delicious as last time. We were there between lunch and dinner, had the place to ourselves. Clean, friendly, tasty and affordable, this is my kind of place. read more

Holy Crap, so good!! So happy I stumbled upon this little hidden gem. One of the best taco plates I've ever had... and I eat a lot of tacos!! I ordered the Jaywalker tacos & not only are they incredibly delicious, but I'm taking 2 tacos home with me for lunch tomorrow. Great food great service and super cute! Totally recommend trying. I'll be back for sure. read more

Kinda of a local cult following / local family upstart. Food too expensive, small portions and low quality (armature'ish). I went twice to give it a second chance. read more

Won't be coming back, prime rib is dry even with the dip, fries were cold, asked for new and they came back rubbery as if they warmed them up in the microwave. burger was asked to be cooked well done but still came out pink. We both had Illinois driver license to order drinks but said they were invalid and wouldn't except them, non expired both legal licenses. read more

Great food- Love the Ahi Nachos, Tempura Cauliflower, and Super Goat Salad with a French 76. Servers and Bartenders are awesome.

Friendly staff and great food !! Huge plates as you can see from the pics !! A must stop for brunch read more

Great for lunch dates, quick dates and girl talk! Love the atmosphere, the menu is very well thought out. The only thing I would suggest are more vegetarian options. Other than that, the staff is awesome! read more

What a nice find. We were hungry and nearby and thought we'd give it a try. Prices are moderate. The service was very good. The menu is not huge but the variety is just fine because the quality and taste was very good. We both ordered off the specials menu on the board. I was told it changes at least once a week. The Decor is typical of a nice pub style restaurant. Our server was friendly and attentive. read more

We came here on a Saturday for lunch and there was not wait and it was not too full. That was great because we had a fairly large party and were able to get a good table indoors. It was a nice day so I will note that the outdoor area was full. The brunch menu looked great and the service fantastic. For my entree, I got the country fried steak, which was huge!! The table oooohed and ahhhed when the dish came out and the big taste matched the big size. The breading was not too much like at some other places and the sides were well proportioned as well. The gravy was nice and thick and complemented the meal well. read more

This was the 2nd time coming here, first for brunch then for dinner. Both times the food was super good and wait staff super awesome and quick. read more

Love this place! I always get the shrimp tacos and they're amazing! The service is always friendly, helpful and quick to get my order to the table! The ambiance of the restaurant is quiet and great for having conversations! 10/10 would recommend!!! read more

Fantastic service and food. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. The patio was slammed when we came but walked in and got seated immediately. We will be coming back for sure. read more

Good food and friendly service. Fun weekend dinner and drinks. Recommended by friends and we're glad we went. Busy place. Go early or make reservations. read more

J. Macklin's Grill is curiously tucked away in a strip center that should otherwise be occupied by a family dentistry or an optometrist's office. Parking in the front can be sparse, so you can usually find me in the back. The buffalo eggrolls are probably my go to appetizer, but the fried pickles are also well done, especially when consuming a profusion of beer. The burgers, chicken skillet, and chicken fried steak are all done nicely, I usually opt for their fries versus other sides as they are executed well and typically come out hot. Though really most of their dishes are commendable, and I've never tried anything there on the rotating menu and or permanent menu that I didn't care for. I do wish they'd bring back the chicken fried steak they used to have with pico de gallo, avocados, and some sort of Texican inspired gravy. While I can't remember the name, it was very tasty. There was also a fried fish sandwich that was flavorous, that I also wish would make a reappearance. I really like J. Macklin's, and really the only thing stopping me from giving them 5 stars is their beer and wine selection. The wine section is loaded with common Californian options, which aren't bad, but are too pedestrian and there are much better imports for less (this is strictly my opinion). Also their relevant selection of draft beers is minimal, which I can't really blame them for, however it would be nice to see them offer some of the more unique local beers, perhaps some of True Vine's offerings. Overall one of my absolute favorite places to visit in Coppell. Though please watch your speed if you visit as Denton Tap is very actively monitored. read more

Great spot in Coppell! I've eaten here a number of for brunch and dinner as well. As far as location it's great! It's only a mile or two from my in-laws house which makes it very easy to get to. They space is laid out very nicely. They have a great patio with umbrella's for the sun and music on the weekends and some weekend. Both are plus's right there. Our last time there was for brunch so let's talk about that. We started off with spicy bacon Bloody Mary's. If you have not had one yet I would recommend them! They are absolutely delicious. They also have bottomless mimosas for $10 I believe which are equally as good. But how can you pass on bacon. :) We also started with some hip chips for the table. Basically some chips w/ a spicy ketchup. My wife and I slit the chicken and waffles. They come out a big portion So by this time they are perfect to not over eat. But the chicken was crispy and the waffles were cooked just right. All in all we had another great brunch here. I've been here for lunch as well as dinner but there is something about brunch that keeps me coming back. We'll definitely be back to J Mackin's something soon. Cheers Justin read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my experience here. I work nearby an always pass this place coming to work. I never stopped in because I didn't have an opportunity to until one day. My coworker was leaving us and we had happy hour here for her going away. I had a burger and it was delightful. The happy hour drinks were $5 for a frozen flavored margarita. I had two of those. We stayed for a good four hours and just talked. We had a fun time! service was on point also. It was dinner time and the place had a good amount of people. read more

A picture speaks a thousand words. I get it Coppell is a "Commuter town" a "bedroom suburb" a place that has outstanding Schools and less then excellent restaurants. But before I follow this prairie dog of self-doubt down the golden path of insecurity I signed up for this right. 5 months ago this review would of been a 3 or 4. I was a big fan of the prime rib sandwich. a warm French baguette piled high melt in your mouth beef with a light cheese note due to the high stack of meat served with a side of sweet potato fries. At one point I found myself consuming this sandwich twice a week. Well It's been awhile so I thought it would be perfectly reasonable to give my old stand by a try. What a let down, I left pissed, I was angry. Not the kind of angry where I went on a yelling rampage and stomped and kicked my exercise ball. The kind of angry that temps me to write a nasty review and blast it all over the web I don't like doing this (obviously) But sometimes bad news has to be taken lightly so that you can fix the problem....Who knows maybe I am the problem. I am sure someone that lives out a mediocre life might enjoy this re-vamped luke warm microwaveable vending machine style delight. Pish what an insult to slop that down next to those yummy sweet potato fries. What a wrong pair, like Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. Ok so I ate it, I am guilty as charged. I sat there with my arms crossed with a scowl on my face. here is my screen play (watch out Hollywood screen writers) Server:(enthusiastic voice) "How was it" Mary S.: (arms crossed and slumped) "Meh I had better" Server :(still enthusiastic programmed voice) "Can I get you dessert" Mary S. (bubble of head that states WTF?%*$) uhmm you can put more meat on the sandwich question mark. what's going on did you not have enough meat left in the kitchen? Server (still very enthusiastic) Awe no, it's the bread! more bread makes the meat look less. I think we have a new chinese proverb posted here! "more bread makes meat look less" Mary S (bubble over head states WTF X5 *&%&$*#) Oh how curious minds wonder? So do I challenge this one or do I pay my bill and run home and post a critical assessment online? Well here I am, I did ask to explain more about this bread situation and according to the server they switched out the bread due to the supplier not getting it right. I am not Gorden Ramsay I am not trying to fix your establishment, In fact you have some good reviews on here so maybe I should just try something else on the menu but I feel less then respected after your kitchen tried passing this meal off on me. My stock investments suck, My house decreased in value due to the obvious reasons, It's $100 bucks to fill up my tank and my nails only get manicured once a month when It use to be bi-weekly. So you can understand why I left upset. I just want to feel good about spending my hard earned dough I have been told I am an old soul, a wise one. Well I felt duped but here is what you can do to fix the problem and make my day better Source another bread make sure your kitchen is consistent with the proper portions of Ingredients If you can't match the bread take it off the menu to force me to try something else now proceed and keep going I have to take my kids to school go to work come home and hit the bedroom! read more

Great neighborhood spot for dinner. A lot of these local places in Coppell are good but not great. J Macklins is great! It's a large menu with diverse options for everyone. Every appetizer I've ever had there has been delicious. I've had great tacos, burgers, sandwiches, and salads - from what I can tell you can't go wrong. High quality food and nice service. read more

Great local place! Good bar and nice drink specials. Good food and nice patio seating when weather is good.

They have a new menu and the food seems better than my last visit. The staff are friendly and attentive. Overall I have a good experience. The Chicken & Waffles was great (not healthy at all) but great taste and the chicken could be cut with your fork. Enough to share with two people, if you asked me, so order one and spit it. No need in doubling your chances getting a heart stent. Had an oatmeal wheat beer that was good too, but possibly a bit heavy to go with the Chicken & Waffles. Needless to say, I was stuffed. Kind of made me wish I had order the blacken fish tacos :) read more

We've been here a solid five times, could be more, over the last two months and after a few times I looked at the yelp reviews we were so surprised at the rating for this place! It is by far the best dinner place in the area for good hearty American unique eats. Here are the things we've tried that are phenomenal: -Bacon Bama jama slamma burger (my boyfriends #1) -Chicken and waffles -Ahi tuna burger (yum yum) definitely a little over cooked but the taste was so rich -wedge salad, I get this every time haha but it doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything -cowboy burger -pulled pork sandwich (another special mention because it was a fan favorite!) -hip chips (Tabasco soaked chips, sooooo good we've never been without getting these!) The "meh" things: -bacon & avocado sandwich (not great, definitely not bad) -chicken club sandwich (again not great, but not bad. Bacon was too much and the chicken was a little dry) -fish tacos (closest I've had to a meal I didn't like here, but I'm very picky of anything trying to resemble Mexican food. Blame it on my San Antonio roots!) The ginger peach iced tea is great and the great beer selection is worth mentioning again. They have live music on a Saturday nights on their lovely patio! read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Coppell. I must admit I am absolutely addicted to their chicken and waffles. It is a great combination of sweet salty spicy. It is a must try!!! I also greatly enjoy their barbacoa nachos they are very generous and every nacho has something on it! It also had a drizzle of barbecue sauce which I believe greatly compliments the cheese and meat! Highly recommend this place! read more

We were seated fairly fast on a Saturday night. Menu is simple and easy to navigate. The barbacoa nachos were pretty badass. I ordered the skillet chicken that comes with spinach orzo and artichoke. Kudos to the chef for letting me swap out artichoke for some asparagus, despite it apparently not being "allowed" per the waiter (don't know why or what that's about...). Everything tasted good though, fast service, courteous wait staff. Something nit picky and irrelevant to the actual food but their booth seats could use refurbishing. They had giant gaping holes in all of them. I guess it isn't really that important if the food and service is great. I'd come again if I was passing by the area. read more

If you're a UNT alum and you remember The State Club on Fry Street and you loved the Iowa state chicken tenders with honey mustard, you need to get nostalgic and come here. The tenders are on the menu as an appetizer. Combined with the honey mustard, they're just as good as I remembered. The patio seating is a real plus. It makes for a nice atmosphere. The service was fabulous and the food was delivered quickly. We had two appetizers and an entree yet we were in and out in less than an hour. You must try the chicken tenders and you must try the hip chips. The blend of salt, vinegar, lime and tabasco are sure to excite your taste buds. All in all a great neighborhood restaurant. read more

The corned beef on the Reuben sandwich was like shoe leather, and the chicken in the chef's soup was over cooked, dry, and tough. I will never go there again. read more

My husband and I moved to coppell 2+ years ago and J Macklins is our favorite go-to! Easter brunch, dinner celebrations, etc. The mimosa's and chicken n waffles are soooo good for brunch. For dinner, I recommend literally everything!!! Can't go wrong. same with all their drinks. The service is amazing too. Can't wait to try Todd's new italian restaurant opening down the street. Yay!!! It really feels so homey too. read more
