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. They have patio seating for those that want to enjoy the outside. The inside has a bar and plenty of tables. It can be a tight squeeze at some tables but makes it feel more homey. 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 landed here about a year ago, come in once a month or so for Karaoke night. We are always…read morerallied in by our friend who loves to sing and is an ex-professional metal singer. 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.

What I…read moreliked about this place is even though it's outdoors, it is mostly covered by trees so it provides a good amount of shade from this hot TX summer heat. My server was Alyssa who was just amazing! She was so sweet and helpful and just had such a great personality and made sure I wasn't forgotten even though I was solo and didn't need much. She constantly checked on me and had great suggestions. If it's your first visit (as it was mine) they give you a free time queso and chips app. So I had that, and also got some of their wings which were delicious and a great portion size. I will definitely be back. It's a great way to spend a nice day and enjoy with friends and/or family.

Would also highly recommend the buffalo and sweet Caroline sandwich. Solid spot for hanging out with friends and family.

Which the Milk punch caught me off guard, it's a pina colada with a twist. We all said the cocktails were really good! And ended it with the Freddy snacks, which are shots. The bartender did an amazing job on the drinks! Our host was John who always checked on us, and told us all the details about the food. As far as food we ordered Wagyu smash burger sliders, Asian sticky ribs, and Shrimp scampi. Everything was so good! It makes us all want to try Sea Breeze restaurant which it's inside of.

It is a little nicer than your average barbecue joint, tucked into an old renovated warehouse in downtown McKinney, but it still feels laid back once you settle in. I came in mostly for the chicken fried steak after hearing people rave about it, and it lived up to the hype. Crispy crust, tender inside, and that smoky twist they put on it makes it stand out from any other version I have had in town. My buddy ordered a Wagyu steak and could not stop talking about how well it was cooked, which tracks given they cut their own beef. We split the mac and cheese with chopped brisket on the side and that thing is dangerous, rich and loaded with meat. Prices run a bit higher than a typical smokehouse, but the quality earns it. If you care about where your beef comes from, this is the place to go. Excellent service every time!
