I hate leaving three stars because I really do love Mac's. My husband and I took a visiting family couple to dinner last night. I won't leave a long review, but I was really disappointed in the service and some of the food. Our waiter for whatever reason was completely focused on a table of six behind us and left us hanging on everything. Empty glasses waiting 10 minutes for tea or water, forgotten cocktails, dropped dessert menu 15 minutes after we sat finished with our meals then took another 15 to come back and take our dessert order. Brought one dessert out and said oh boy I forgot the other one didn't I haha. I was not amused. I ordered the shrimp with beurre blanc sauce and it was the worst plating I've ever had here, over cooked shrimp sitting sadly in cold sauce which was oddly tart and I had to salt and pepper which I don't usually do. I wanted to snap a picture but I don't like having my phone out when with company. Tonight was 100% not up to Mac's standards. I'm sure I'll be back, hopefully with a much improved experience. read more

I really liked it. More than my husband did. I had the hanger steak with chimichurri and it was delicious. My husband had the special (I don't recall what it was) but he said it was just average. We were in the back room and it felt like the heater was on full blast (not in a good way). I'd be open to trying it again. He is not sold. read more

Excellent meal and service. The salad is delicious and generous, the fish was tender and great side dishes. My husband likes the gumbo.

Prime rib was ok. Nothing special. Asked if they had raw horse radish. They said yes. It came out a diluted horse radish sauce. Wilted spinach was cold and presented with long stems. My fiancé's gumbo was way to spicy for her. They were kind and did not charge us. She ate only half of her 5 or 7 cheese mac & cheese. Salad was not special either. The best parts were carbonated water and the hot, tender, crispy crust, sour dough bread . Service was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was subdued with gentle music in the background. While every thing was acceptable. Do not think we will return. read more

What's not to like about Macs? They have tons of food options and the service is outstanding. I always feel special when I eat here. The atmosphere is a little upscale without being a coat and tie only place. Mac's always helps with special requests too due to dietary needs. I'm a big fan! read more

food was really great, but waitress was terrible. She needs to be fired pronto. she really didn't even show up for our table and we had to ask multiple other waitresses for food. she was worse than a honey badger. read more

Great food reasonably priced the prime rib is exceptional. I highly recommend Mac's on Main

We arrived on time for our reservation and were quickly seated. The restaurant itself was comfortable and spacious. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. But the food....hmmm. it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. it almost felt like it was an off night. I ordered the ribeye, loaded, baked potato, and asparagus. The kids ordered burgers which we had to order from the adult menu as the kids menu did not offer a burger. When everything came out, it looked delicious but it truly just tasted okay. The steak had nice grill marks, but was a little tough and while I had asked for medium, it was closer to rare inside. The asparagus was flavorless and the baked potato was what you would expect. I tried the kids burgers when they came out and they did not have much flavor, were way overcooked and the kids barely touched them. I also had a glass of wine that tasted bad and got a different one to replace it and it was slightly better. Again, based on other reviews I read I believe this restaurant normally is a better experience. Again, it wasn't terrible, but I expected more. read more

Located in a prime spot in Grapevine, Mac's on Main is an intimate, upscale, but affordable dining establishment. We went to meet up with some friends for dinner and drinks after touring some of the local breweries. It was a little crowded when we got there, but we were able to sit at the bar. Our waitress/server/bartender was exceptional. She took great care of our group, even though the bar area was also a little slammed at times. The ladies ordered wine and we ordered Old Fashioneds, which were expertly and quickly made. We ordered empanadas, wings, shrimp etoufee, and I had the Steak Frites. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. We ate, had a couple more drinks, and decided to head out, as it was nearing closing time. Even though it was late, we never felt rushed and were treated to an amazing experience. This is a great date/dinner spot. Sophisticated but not pretentious and a great menu. I've heard the brunch is spectacular as well. If you're in Grapevine and looking for food and drinks that won't disappoint, go give Mac's on Main a try. read more

Amazing food! Great service the scallops are on point!! Meatballs just a right amount of spice!!

The service and the food were both excellent. We were there early on a Saturday evening. The Salmon was perfectly cooked. Everyone in our group (6) expressed satisfaction with both service and their meal, all 6 were different. On top of that we considered it a good value$$ Nicely done, we shall return read more

We agree the food is delicious and the service is amazing! We will definitely be back soon!! read more

My spouse and I met another couple here during Restaurant Week. The food was stand out, cooked perfectly, and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere and it wasn't too crowded for a Sunday night. Mac's will definitely be on my radar whenever I am in the area or am searching for a nice meal. read more

Upscale restaurant with quality food and service. Well worth going back for another visit.

Mac's on Main should be on your list when visiting Grapevine. We were quickly escorted to a table, placed our drink orders, and ordered appetizers. Service was prompt & and attentive, and our server was knowledgeable of the menu. Thank you for a great meal! read more

My friends and I had a very good experience at Mac's On Main. The service was attentive, and the food was awesome. The restaurant also had a very good atmosphere. The only reason why I took a start off was b/c I felt our waiter was a little bit pushy. The menu isn't cheap, but he was pushing multiple appetizers and drinks juuuuust a little too much. He was likely very busy and we were probably too slow to make a decision, but the way it came across was just a little too much. With that said though, everyone loved their meals. This is a group of people that tend to leave with Togo boxes and no one did. Everyone eat everything. Very very good. We will definitely be back. read more

Welllll... I've been wanting to try it for a long time, so maybe I had my hopes set too high. First, parking was strange. We had to drive around to the back of buildings and find random parking and walk a bit to the restaurant. I get it's Grapevine and that can happen, but there didn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot for the businesses in that strip. Second, all the tables received bread except us. It looked like it was the freebie and we were forgotten. Not too sad because I didn't want to fill up on bread anyway. Third, the cheeseboard was great. Good quality cheeses and jams/jellies and honey. Loved the honey! Plus nuts and bread/crackers. It wasn't super fancy but was good. Fourth, entrees. My husband got a burger and really liked it. Said it had great flavor. I, on the other hand, got no flavor. And it wasn't the flavor that was the issue; it was the quality of the chicken. It was soooo bad--rubbery. I boxed it up and took it home for my youngest: he's a teenage boy who will typically eat anything I bring home. He said, "What is this? I thought you said it was chicken." He threw it in the trash. That's why this review is a 3 star. It was okay overall, but we won't go back considering all the amazing options in North Texas. If I lived two minutes away, I would probably try it again. Parts were really good, but if you're going to charge $20+ for a piece of chicken, it should be good quality. read more

Best steak prime rib was great all our service great will go back soon again.The atmosphere nice bar has happy hour also was 5 star

Took my sister for brunch it was her birthday Food menu only brunch menu available on weekends cannot order any items from dinner or lunch menu Food was good decent value Service was ok read more

Service, food, atmosphere were all top notch. Looking forward to next visit. Crab cakes appetizer was excellent, wife very happy with the trout and I had one of their well priced steaks. read more

Happy hour is the best at the bar. Full dinner menu is available. Food is good- Josh takes care of everyone, including me. Had a French Dip which in my opinion should come with shaved Roast Beef, not slices. It was delish anyway. Atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. read more

This was our Plan B after deciding to venture out during a stay at the Gaylord, and so glad Plan A didn't work out! We might have missed out on the intimate yet casual atmosphere and kind service. Don't miss the crab cakes! Next time we are in Grapevine, Mac's will be our first choice. read more

Came in here for our anniversary tonight. We were not disappointed in any way. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. And the food/beverage was excellent. We ordered the cheese plate as an appetizer. Also ordered a bottle of Rose. The server was super professional and helpful. She was just attentive enough but not overwhelming. Awesome! I had the blackened roughie with etoufe and husband had Scottish salmon. Both were recommended by our server. Both were awesome. And the prices are extremely reasonable. We will most certainly be back. One of the nicest places in the area. read more

Some friends of ours have mentioned that this restaurant is their parent's favorite. So, while checking out this year's dfw restaurant week choices, we decided to throw in a date here. I can see why our friend's parents like it. The other folks we saw dining here were seniors. Maybe it's a tradition, or they enjoy the salty basics. I ordered the prime rib. Other than overly salted, it was bland. No au jus, just a bland horseradish "sauce" served aside. It tasted more like sour cream. Their slow roasted loaded baked potato does not include bacon, but did include green onions that should have been thrown out. Also, the "slow roast" on these potatoes look a lot like chef mic's work. My husband's steak came out rare instead of medium. They reheated the steak and brought it back out at the right temp, kindly. They also gave my husband a free glass of wine for the inconvenience. For dessert we ordered the flourless chocolate "cake" which was very unimpressive. My husband, who eats almost every bite of everything he is ever served, only ate one bite. It was incredibly bland and basic. I doubt they made it in house. Our server, while kind, was more robotic. We are happy to of helped with the food pantry during dfw restaurant week, but we will not be back to mac's. read more

I'm so sad to report after going to Mac's for decades it has gone down hill. We went tonight for salad and crab claws. Salad is served I'm a a bowl (iceberg, some green lettuce, onions and blue cheese) $8 per person x's 2 =$16 if 3 people were eating out of same bowl would be $24? (ridiculous) 1/4 lb crab claws $17. Half of the crab claws literally had no crab on them I mean NO crab at all and the others where so small barely got any. After letting waitress know we got one salad comped lol! I know quality has gone down almost everywhere but maybe get a new crab-claw supplier. Probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Food is not great to be honest but is pretty affordable. They fry their food really poorly and their buns aren't great. It took our waitress 3 times to get BREAD! read more

Honestly, I was very impressed! Our sever Sydney was amazing and so kind. The bread was 11/10 and the wagyu meatballs are killer. Even our meals were amazing. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Food is not fancy, but it's very solid, and you get plenty of it for a reasonable price. Service at the bar was great, too. (Thanks, Savanah!) read more

I was very disappointed with my brunch experience at Mac's. It was our first time eating there, and we had reservations for Sunday brunch. However, we still had to wait on our table and once we were seated it took about 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge our table and bring some water and coffee. We then ordered and the food took another 20 minutes to come out. The problem was the waiter never checked in on us nor did he apologize for the wait. I don't mind waiting for phenomenal food, but this is the problem as the food was lackluster. Our breakfast potatoes were cold. The gumbo was not tasty nor very authentic. Overall it was a very disappointing dining experience, and I can not recommend this establishment. read more

We were a cold family of 7 after riding The North Pole Express and were looking for somewhere tasty. I have been wanting to try this spot and although we were almost half an hour early before opening time we decided to walk by just in case. A waiter came and opened the door and said we could come in and be seated early! Awesome! They serve you complimentary bread and butter. So good. All of us ordered something different, Prime rib, Prime rib sandwich, sweet potato fries, Mac n cheese, Wagyu Burger and I ordered the Shrimp with Citrus Beurre Blanc Sauce. Omg. Cooked to perfection. It's been weeks and I still think about it. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and my little 10 month old had fun tasting everything. We also got the Turtle Cheese ale and Key Lime pie for dessert, both spectacular! Definitely recommend, and we for sure will be back soon!! read more

I am giving this place 3 stars due the food they did well but could have done better. The service was great. They bring over fruit and cinnamon rolls when you walk in. The fruit was good but the cinnamon rolls tasted stale but other tables seemed to love them so maybe it was just ours? I got a few sides for brunch the eggs, potatoes and biscuits. They didn't bring out butter or jam for the biscuits and by the time they did they were cold. The eggs were good. The potatoes were OK but I usually prefer hashbrowns. All in all its an ok place for brunch. read more

This is one of our go to spots in grapevine. The food is always great. The drinks are always delicious and the servers are always pleasant. They always have a great fish dish. Their redfish is fantastic. I'm a fan of their steaks as well but they do have a very popular prime rib. Definitely try the chicken tortilla soup on a cold day! read more

Just finished a lovely lunch/brunch here... The service was great (Sydney was efficient, funny and attentive), and the food excellent. I had the French Dip which I would not normally order, but I saw a couple who were practically swooning as they relished their every bite and I was inspired one bite and I understood their motivation. The bread was soft, warm and incredibly good. The meat was tender, flavorful and not that usual grainy stuff you usually get with a French Dip. It actually tasted like prime quality beef. The Au Jus was so good I wanted to drink it Dearest had the omelette and it was chock full of ham and a nice size. We were started with a complimentary fruit plate of melons, grapes and strawberries, with a tummy cinnamon roll . Very nice. The fries were a wee soggy as were the breakfast potatoes...hence the 4 stars. We are potato people wish we coulda only deducted half stars, but couldn't. Otherwise the meal woulda definitely been 4.5 stars. Perfect the tater situation and these dishes would be 5 stars. The experience was definitely return worthy! read more

Looking for a new place to have a nice steak. We were reminded of restaurant week by their sign outside. Unfortunately we were shut down because we didn't note it in our reservation. I made the reservation an hour or so before so it wouldn't have hurt to let us partake. We ordered their crab cakes, prime rib with baked potato and Filet Peperonata. The menu was priced at top dollar. The disappointment came when my wife came face to face with a dish that looked like it was from a cheap buffet. The desserts were so boring we asked for check with order any. Maybe we should have chosen Outback or Logans. read more

Mac's On Main - buffet plate... sad looking - Seafood Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

This restaurant had a good atmosphere, and we had a nice waiter that was very informative on their cuisine. However, the food was very disappointing. Everything lacked flavor and just did not live up the hype. My son's chicken fried steak came with a black obvious hair cooked into it which the waiter apologized for and expedited a new one cooked. However, no one asked if he wanted a complementary dessert or even comped that dish due to this situation, so that was a little strange. I would say another interesting thing to be aware of is the salad is definitely not complementary. The waiter asked if we wanted a house salad and bread and we said, of course, not knowing it was $5 a person for the salad which definitely was not worth the price. Informing customers there is an up charge for items is essential. My wife got the grilled shrimp and subbed quinoa brown rice for the white rice, and it was overcooked. The star of the show was my daughter's kid chicken strip and fries' plate. read more

We came in here with friends after taking a trip to Grapevine for Christmas shopping and to look at the lights. We went in not knowing what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. It's a really cute spot with a great ambience. They had a fab drink and cocktail menu which is always a win for me. My friend and I had a french 75 and hubby had his go to old fashioned, they even made our friends daughter a Shirley temple with extra cherries, we all enjoyed those. We shared scallops to start and crab claws, both were great and then for mains myself and a friend had the prime rib which were soooo good. My hubby and friend both had a steak which they said were delicious, my friend also had clam chowder which she loved. They made a child's spaghetti with sauce too. The service was really good, the food was awesome and I can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu. read more
