    Horrible instant potato shepherds pie
    Terri J.

    Look it's a bar - most people leaving reviews are not sober when they eat here. We went last night (Thursday 4/9) to support a local musician and I had my kids with me so I didn't drink. I wish I did though because that's the only way to stomach the prices and service. Spinach artichoke dip was as other reviews stated: Cold, canned and not good. Had that tinny taste from the canned spinach. Chicken tenders were cooked in old oil that should be changed out. Shepherd's pie was absolutely disgusting- meat had soured and was cold as the day is long. I couldn't ask for it to be remade because my waitress never came back to touch the table. I had a coupon that brought the bill down to $50 thank god, but it wasn't worth 5 cents. Won't be back. One and done. Only go here to get snookerfaced people!

    Fish n chips (half order)

    Met a friend to watch college football here on a Saturday. Decor gives Irish pub vibes and they have a lot of room to hang out in. Service was great. Crowd watching football were friendly. Brisket tacos were tasty. Fish and chips were good, but I wish the fish wasn't so thick. It still tasted fresh, flavorful, and filling! There is a huge parking garage right behind the bar. We will definitely be back!

    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!

    Half order of fish and chips

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

    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.

    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.

I am gluten free, there wasn't much attention given to my food allergy. But I can manage and know how to protect myself.

My double cheeseburger emphasized the meat, well seasoned, right amount of pickles & greens, not overwhelmed with sauce. The tallow fries were as good as it ever gets: crispy, soft inside, must be 2x fried. Outside square had great World Cup fan area. We watched Colombia vs Uzbekistan. My team Croatia lost to England previously, but Haywire soothed my disappointment with an excellent dining experience. BTW: $638.04 with a 20% tip. Great value. This would cost so much more in my home state of California.

Walking in you'll feel like you've been transported to a bright and open California wine bar. To be seated you'll check in with the host and then be shown to your table. For food we started with the Brussel sprouts (crispy fried, kung pao vinaigrette, scallions, toasted sesame seeds, cashews) which had a hint of spice and were excellent. For entrees my partner ordered the shrimp and avocado cobb salad (avocado, hard-boiled egg, grape tomatoes, watermelon radish, buttermilk chive dressing) which was so good and the dressing could literally go on anything. For my entree I ordered the brunch pizza which I believe has since been taken off the menu but was excellent.

There was plenty of seating at the restaurant with long tables, sit down tables, and outdoor seating. After choosing our table we waited 15 minutes before our waitresses showed up. They were very busy with the lunch rush so it took awhile between everything. It even took awhile to get our waters. One waitress was in training and learning from the other. The positive was that the waitresses were friendly throughout. After looking at the menu and waiting another 15 minutes we finally placed our order. We got our appetizer after waiting another 15 minutes. Thankfully that held us over until we got our burgers and fries. We started with tostada chips and queso. It was good and we ate it up pretty quickly. We requested another basket of chips to finish off the queso. To eat with our burgers we ordered hand punched fries and sweet potato fries. The hand cut fries were nice and thick and you could taste the salt. I enjoyed eating them with ketchup. The sweet potato fries were also thick and salty and you could taste the flavor of the potato. No need for ketchup with these fries unless you want it. For my burger I ordered the HL Hunt cooked medium which comes with white cheese, bacon, blackberry compote and mustard. The burger was filling, the cheese was melted but it had little flavor, and the bacon was chewy. The compote was my favorite part of the burger as it added a slightly sweet flavor. I requested a medium cooked burger but it didn't taste that way but it was still good despite that. Overall Rodeo Goat has lots of seating and friendly staff but I would go at an off peak time so that you don't have to wait a long time for everything. The food was still good despite the wait.

Instead of a menu, they bring out food models or all of the desserts. There are 3 that are gluten free: the key lime pie, raspberry chocolate chips cannoli, and turtle cheesecake. The key lime pie has actual gluten free crust-like layers, and the turtle cheesecake has something similar. For the raspberry chocolate chip cannoli, to be gluten-free, they remove the actual cannoli shell that's on top, but you get all the filling. That was my favorite one (I tried all 3 GF options). The server was also really sweet, kind, and attentive. It's nice inside. Pretty loud in the main area, but there is another area sort of tucked away that is quieter if you need that.
