    Half order of fish and chips
    Everlong_angelica M.

    Really good food and nice outdoor patio in downtown Plano. Service is friendly and attentive. Live music, when they have it, fun and entertaining.

    Hamburger and waffle fries
    Heidi R.

    McNeal's Tavern was perfect for our date night! Reasonably priced and we left full and with leftovers. My fiancé ordered a hamburger and thoroughly enjoyed it, and I loved the fish and chips. Our waiter was super friendly and was even able to have the kitchen make loaded fries for us, even though they weren't on the menu! He also gave us darts to enjoy a game while we were there. We will definitely be back!

    Location Downtown Plano Parking Street and nearby lots Atmosphere Irish sports bar- huge tv's. Pool table. Service Wonderful!! We looked all over til we found the " perfect spit" to watch the game-very patient, kind, and attentive Seating Bar, tables, booths Menu Bangers and mash, fish and chips, appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, brunch, entrees-they have it all. We had the fish and chips-the fries are terrific-thin and crispy. The fish-nicely battered-not heavy or thick-perfect! Served with lemon, catsup, tartar sauce. Summary Centrally located Plano Irish sports pub. Outstanding service, great menu, perfect location.

    Shuffleboard
    Bill U.

    My wife and I stopped in after dinner at a nearby restaurant for one beer and some shuffleboard. The service was great and shuffleboard is a fun bar game so overall I would recommend McNeal's for those in the area. They had a solo guitar player and the first college football game of the year on also. Good time on our anniversary.

    We enjoyed trying McNeal's on a sunny Sunday so not only did was try their Bloody Mary special, and we also chose to eat outside and enjoy the nice weather. My husband went with the Meatball Parmigiana sub sandwich. He kept commenting on how delicious the sub was and had the right balance of meat and sauce. I went with the Salad of Champions which was fabulous and filling without adding an optional protein. The mix of greens with all of the fruits and nuts was a great combo in with a balsamic vinaigrette. The goat cheese and tomatoes really rounded out the flavor. Only went with four stars as unfortunately there was one server for the whole place including the bar. She was doing the best she could give the increasing crowd but it was hard to keep water glasses full and really see when people sitting outside needed something more. These weren't reasons not to come back, just be aware in case you need to be somewhere in a hurry.

    Been here twice. Once to check it out, second to watch a football (soccer) match. Staff is very friendly and has a neighborhood bar feel. Lots of beers on tap. The food is amazing. Fish and chips are solid. The bangers and mash they were out of the bangers the first time, but the waiter asked if we wanted to sub for a hamburger patty. Salisbury steak basically. It was amazing. Also have had the sliced beef quesadilla and it was amazing. All the food is really good.

    I really enjoyed the American cuisine here--great food and a nice atmosphere overall…read more I ordered the French onion soup and the Reuben eggrolls. The French onion soup seems to be popular here, and as soon as I saw that buttery-looking pastry puff baked on top, I knew I had to order it! It was definitely hearty, with plenty of onions (which I love). However, it was a bit saltier than I prefer. I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together. They tasted amazing with the spicy Russian dipping sauce (which I appreciated wasn't too spicy). It was such a flavorful and memorable dish! I'm glad I gave it a try.

The elk tacos were straight-up fantastic -- perfectly seasoned, tender elk, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of heat. I could have eaten a second order without hesitation. Then came the chicken fried steak, and it did not disappoint. Crispy, golden crust, juicy and flavorful meat, and that classic creamy gravy that tastes like it was made with love. Every bite was pure comfort food elevated. Everything about the experience felt thoughtful and elevated, yet still warm and welcoming. If you're in Plano and want a restaurant that nails both the food and the atmosphere, Haywire is it. I'm already planning my next visit. Hands-down 10/10.

Everything felt clean--the tables were well taken care of and the bathrooms were spotless. As for food, we ordered the Blue Goat, the H.L. Hunt, the Royale with Cheese, and the cheese fries (No Surprise). I had the Blue Goat (no onions). It was good overall, though I wish the blue cheese flavor was a bit stronger. My husband got the H.L. Hunt and really enjoyed the candied bacon. Our son had the Royale with Cheese and it filled him up so much that he didn't even touch fries--and he loves fries, so that says a lot. Speaking of fries, the order was HUGE--easily enough for 5-6 people. If we come back, I'd definitely dig into those first while the cheese is still warm and gooey. By the time we got to them after our burgers, everything had kind of stuck together. Overall, a fun, casual spot with solid burgers and massive portions--just plan for a slower-paced experience.
