I've always liked this diner. It has a good breakfast and lunch menu. You can ask the cook to use olive oil instead of vegetable oil which is so much healthier! We go here about once a week. It has since changed hands to Brunch TIME. Still pretty good menu. read more

Must add mimosas! But I really liked the crepes with cream cheese! Quick and friendly service. We sat on the patio which was nice. It was too cold to sit inside (over air conditioned). Latte was perfect. read more

This place is a franchise so nothing too spectacular on the food but it is decent quality taste overall compared to other breakfast chains. It is also located at the Adriatic village (Croatia inspired) so it is a nice spot to grab breakfast and take a stroll and hang around the village like the waterfront trail overseeing castles and bridges. I would come back here! read more

Starwood Cafe - Honey Smoke Salmon Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Cute local spot that was surprisingly tasty. The interior is warm and cozy, with a good amount of seating. Service was great, and the menu is extensive, with enough savory and sweet options to satisfy everyone in our large group ranging from 8 months old to 85 years. Plenty of syrups and milks to choose from for their coffee bar as well! I got a hazelnut latte and chorizo migas. Coffee was delicious, and the migas were delightfully spicy w excellent hashbrowns, some of the best I've had in a restaurant. Large portions as well. We all left full and satisfied. read more

My family came here on a Sunday (noonish). No reservation required and we got seated right away. The place was buzzing and lively. Service time was about average . Prices are reasonable in my opinion . I ordered the mango passion for drink , I could barely taste any mango but our server took care of it and added more puree /juice which made it better. I had a Mediterranean salad which tasted about normal, portioning is good but the place a little small so it's harder to mix the dressing. My son ordered the Very berry french toast , he said he likes the taste , it had an abundance of fresh fruit topping . He ate the whole plate . Hubby got the Whole hog skillet with a side of biscuit . He said the biscuit was good and not dry , he enjoyed meal, the egg was a bit over done especially when he asked for over easy, he still ate it though . The Orange juice was really good , it was very fresh and sweet . We really like the area and the view just outside of the restaurant. It reminded us of Europe, it's nice to go for a walk after a meal . read more

Starwood is a favorite of ours, we tend to stop by for breakfast more than anything. You can go wrong with any breakfast option. Saturday and Sunday mornings are very busy, but usually you'll be seated within 30 mins. Location here is great, parking is near by in a garage as street parking is always full. Service is usually 6/10, I feel rushed at times. Our last visit our server was Jaqueline and she was wonderful. read more

A cute cafe in a cute neighborhood. Adriatica feels like a little slice of Europe, and it was fun walking around after our meal. The food was alright, nothing super special about it in my opinion but it was very filling. The pancakes looked delicious and I was excited to try them but they just tasted like normal pancakes to me with some blueberries and blue food coloring. I didn't taste the cream cheese in it. My boyfriend's chocolate chip pancakes tasted better in my opinion, but that's also because chocolate chip is hard to mess up. The Frisco skillet had a good amount of vegetables in it, but I wish there was a little bit more sausage. read more

One person in our party got sick (vomiting) after eating the hog skillet. I informed staff about this when she ran back to the bathroom the second time in 10 min. Nothing happened. I talked to the manager, and she acted like it was nothing. She said she would check with the kitchen but looked at me as if I was out of line. I told her that I did not think the person who got sick while there should have to pay and that was never addressed nor knowledge. Very poor way to handle this matter. 2 others also got sick one within 2 hours after eating the other during the night. I will NEVER go there again!!!!! read more

Starwood Cafe - Frisco Skillet and Chicken Fried Chicken and Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Staff were very nice! $4.50 for a cup of COFFEE..NO! And the coffee was not that great. When presented to the wait staff they said it is priced that way due to the fact that it is free refills.... Lunch was just ok. The salad had grapes that should have been cut in half and they were not. A lot of greens, some tough and not a lot of feta and the walnuts tasted off. There were 3 slices of chicken. The burger was again just ok...nothing great. I will not be back. I am not cheap but $4.50 for a coffee is just ridiculous. I choose places for their quality and this is not it. read more

I love coming here on the weekends with my family. Great food, friendly service, and a beautiful location to walk around after.

The location is beautiful right near the lake. Food is well portioned and good. They have abundant wait staff so i would have assumed that water and coffee refills were faster than they actually were. We will return. read more

Wonderful cafe located inside a gorgeous shopping center. The shopping center has stones as walls. Reminds me of old Europe. Also there is a beautiful lake behind the shopping center that has wonderful walking/biking trails. The service in the Cafe was spot on with friendly and smiling staff. We were there for breakfast. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. After your bite to eat, take a walk around the lake-Georgeous. read more

Wife had the avocado toast with egg whites and she enjoyed it. I had the whole hog skillet. The bacon on top was cooked perfectly, nice and crispy. The hasbrowns underneath where undercooked and the portion was small. I also had a Carmel latte that was delicious. Overall we will comeback. Lots of choices on the menu. Service was excellent. We where seated immediately and the server was polite and friendly. Ambiance was nice. A little loud but it's a busy place. read more

What an amazing location and food. My husband and I enjoyed a late breakfast. The service was great and the food was fabulous.

Back again for my third review because once again I had items missing from my order and instructions for crispy bacon and crispy hash browns were NOT followed. How hard is it for the person to take an order from Uber Eats and put it on the ticket/order at the restaurant? It blows my mind that the people (by people I mean Camila I.) that work here can't do that. Y'all I might as well have dug up a potato and eaten it raw...that's how undercooked the hash browns were. No brown in sight. Crispy bacon should not have raw meat or be impossible to bite off without pulling...YUCK. Where oh where has the apple juice gone??? I can tell you where it wasn't. SMH. You know why it wasn't there because Camila I. didn't put it on the ticket. I've talked to the manager (Camila I.) before and she doesn't give a F***. That dimwit will hear from me again...I know it is the highlight of her day. Hey at least I'm memorable. She should be fired for being incompetent. Last time I called the manager (Camila I.)was the one that told me she did the Uber Eats orders. The orders will never be right with her at the helm. Camila I. ALWAYS makes customers sad . read more

We love this place!! The atmosphere is so cute and quaint. The service is friendly and efficient and the food and the coffee are fantastic. I cannot think of any reason why I would not come back here again. It was one of the better brunch experiences I've had in a while. We ordered chicken fried steak and eggs along with a Belgian waffle. The bacon is fabulous by the way. Everything here was just on point to make it even better, the prices are very reasonable. read more

I honestly don't have any complaints. I came here for breakfast with a friend on Saturday morning. The waiter was very attentive. I got the hot chocolate, and the whole hog skillet with pancakes. The pancakes were so fluffy and they came on this little saucer plate so it was just enough. There were three pancakes. On the whole hog skillet I wish the bacon was diced up but it was all really good! read more

Love the atmosphere, service and food quality here. Overall value is good! but music is ALWAYS too loud.

Another brunch cafe that blew me away. Wild mushroom omelet has 3 kinds of mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Delicious! Choice of hash browns, grits or a bowl of berries. It was a big bowl of berries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. All fresh, and so good. My other choice I had to make that came with the omelet was toast (gf option), biscuits or pancakes (gf option). I chose the gf pancakes. There were 3 salad plate sized fluffy pancakes. They have real butter on the table and it tasted like real maple syrup. Those pancakes! If you're gf, you will be amazed at the texture, not gritty as some gf flour mixtures tend to be. I was so excited. I ate one and took the other two home for breakfast the next day. I failed to get a photo of those pancakes! :/ My husband ordered the "For Dad" breakfast, eggs/bacon/French toast. The French toast was big & thick, more than most I'd ever seen. We absolutely loved our meals, and our server, Jerone, was very attentive and did a great job keeping us happy. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

This would have been a five star review but they dropped the ball in the last leg of this adventure... THE LOCATION In a really cool part of McKinney that looks like a Croatian village... "Adriatic"... VERY COOL AREA!!! THE FOOD/ PRICES Very reasonable prices for breakfast and really good selection/ variety of foods. Good portions and good flavoring on everything that we ordered. One issue (for my wife) was the toast. It was lightly toasted and she prefers the toast done longer. Here's where the rub comes in.... The waitress helping us (Jacqui) was very friendly and on top of her game. My wife brings the toast issue to her attention and she comes back with more toast, but it's toasted the exact same way. (Not Jacqui's fault. She wasn't working the kitchen). My wife decided to leave it alone. Then another woman comes to the table... we assume she was a more tenured waitress or possibly a manger. She takes the second toast away but never returns with more toast. Jacqui comes with the bill. I pay and that's the end of seeing Jacqui. Finally a male manager comes to ask about the toast issue. My wife goes through this long explanation and the guy is like, "What would you like me to do?" (To which my wife explains that she was just telling the guy what happened and what she was hoping to get.... DARK TOAST)... to which the manger says, "Well I'll talk with the waitress to make sure she keeps an eye out..." Immediately I stop the manager and I explain to him (politely but bluntly) "Sir, to put it simple, my wife is asking for toast that is toasted longer than normal. All this 'I'll talk with my waitress and her her be on the lookout' is not teamwork and it's not taking ownership to correct the situation." Five minutes later, he comes back with darker toast. Why this became a conversation (and a quest to pass the issue off to someone else) was beyond me. I'm a pretty laid back guy and I usually let my wife handle those issues, but that was ridiculous and I needed to jump in. There was a huge breakdown in service somewhere over there and it was a little disappointing. The good was great and the location is amazing. But if I go back again, I think we'll have to be VERY SPECIFIC about how we want certain things when we order. read more

Delicious breakfast and the service was amazing. I decided to do last minute catering and Claudia McKinney manager was extremely helpful and she was able to meet my expectations from one day to another. Her team and good too.

Starwood Adriatica continues to do it right. If you want to eat a lovely breakfast or lunch in a stunning location, with impeccable service, you need to try this place. Not all Starwood's are the same, and we've been going to Adriatica for over 6 years. Every Sunday morning, and we love our Sunday morning tradition. First of all the facility is beautiful! It's always clean and welcoming. The professionalism from the hosts, serving staff, kitchen staff, and management is second to none. The service is quick and the food is unbelievably delicious! The pecan waffle, very berry crepes, and the pumpkin pancakes are some of our breakfast favorites. Then for lunch you don't want to miss the Cuban, the BLT or their amazing hamburger. Indulge in their specialty drinks...Carmel Pumpkin Latte, Hot Chocolate, or Cappuccino. But their signature Segafredo coffee is always good and don't forget the fresh squeezed orange juice! After eating at Starwood, take a leisurely stroll on Adriatica's cobblestone streets. It's a beautiful scenic and relaxing experience. You will feel like you are walking through a Croatian village. Don't miss the Island chapel and the gorgeous waterfront. Just a charming atmosphere all around. I highly recommend Starwood Adriatica as a family friendly, one-of-a-kind, delightful place that you don't want to miss!! Ask for Desi, she is so attentive, detail oriented and very eager to please. She's just incredible!! She along with all the support staff there makes you feel like you are family. read more

For anyone reading on how the service is, I wouldn't even BOTHER coming here. My husband and I have been looking forward to getting time away from the kids for a nice brunch date. To our surprise we were given nothing but attitude. I tried to ignore it incase maybe the server was just having a bad day, but my food had a few hairs in it. That's right. Not one, but SEVERAL. Who's getting a haircut near my food?! When I complained to the manager he was so unprofessional in the way he handled my complaint. He took the dish, still made me pay for it, and told me that I could get something else as long as I paid for the other meal as well! How UPSETTING!!!! The staff and management need to be TAMED. They even kicked out a lovely couple giving them the same attitude they gave me. Do better Starwood or else youre gonna lose THIS star! read more

This was really good. Who does not like brisket and grilled cheese? Their fries were the perfect balance of crisp and flavor. Came here with my wife and daughter and we were all thrilled with our plates. The setting at Adriatica was also nice. Plan ahead as they are usually busy and there may be a wait. Remember having a wait is an indication of client demand and good food. read more

Service: excellen. Ambiance: great Food: this is where lives the most sad part, they have everything they need to be 5 stars, but i gave 2 for dish presentation and 5 segafredo coffee, for taste, i give 1 only, but let's talk about taste, i cook and be delightfull to have the first meal of my day as just amazing, speacially when you created expectations about a place, but the food has no taste, truely sad about it and when i was telling the manager, she was not surprise and not even appolagizes or try to say anything else, i was very gentle and polite, explain how nice was the service, but, they should take their cooks around, to places like: sunview cafe - the colony; another broken egg cafe - the colony and i can keep going, but, really sad about the food's taste on this nice place. read more

I've been here on a few occasions and have enjoyed the food every time. This visit I got the Sam's Breakfast Tacos and a Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancake. The tacos were pretty good and the pancake was alright. Gluten free items can be pretty hit or miss at some restaurants. The reason I gave 3 stars and not 4 is because of the wait time. Starwood is popular so there's generally a wait to get your order taken or receive the check unless you hunt down your server. However, I've never had to wait to be seated which is a plus. That said, the service is kind and welcoming always. read more

Starwood is a good place to get breakfast. I do not know how to describe the area where Starwood is located. Let's just say that it is pretty ballerific. There are lots of areas built to resemble other locations. Most fail, but from the moment I parked, I felt like I was in Europe somewhere. The whole area is beautifully done. Inside the restaurant is very attractive. It didn't hurt that the table overlooked the large lake outside. Located across the lake was a massive house that was a reminder of just how different this area is from LA. Not that it's better, but it sure is different. If you have read any of my reviews, you know that I despise fancy breakfast places. Starwood does do fancy, but they also do traditional very well. For example; my kid got some nutella and banana crepe (fancy) that she said was great. I got a Denver omelet (western) nd it too was great. What in the world? Most fancy places cannot do traditional. Starwood can. Other reviews mentioned a long wait. I can't comment on that since we were seated right away. Maybe the early time helped, so get there early and you might be lucky. read more

They have several locations in McKinney that I know of however I have only been to this one. The staff are friendly and to be honest I have never had to wait to be seated which is great for me! I stopped in here the first time for a business lunch and fell in love with their French Toast! I literally will drive an hour to eat here if that says anything. I highly recommend that you try this place out! read more

The food was ok. However, the automatic 20% gratuity is too much. Normally other locations add 15-18%.

I enjoyed the service, the server was friendly and very attentive. The place was very clean. The food and orange juice were delicious. The ambiance was nice! I loved this place, I would definitely will be coming back!! read more

This was disappointing to say the least. First off, $4.50 for a cold cup of coffee is ridiculous. The food wasn't any better as it came out cold. The western skillet was all freeze dried hash browns with just enough ham, onions, and peppers to say they were there. I think we found 1 little area that actually had cheese on it. Don't think we will be back read more

The food, delicious. The service, very friendly! The ambiance, open and warm and inviting. Starwood is a well regarded restaurant. I'd be glad to return with friends and will definitely recommend to visitors and friends. Thank you. read more

Great atmosphere! There was an older gentleman at the host stand, and he was awesome on a busy Sunday morning. As we waited to put our name on the wait list, he smiled at us and acknowledged that we had walked in. After that, he proceeded to smile and direct the flow of traffic. He greeted us with a warm welcome, and we placed our name on the list. As we sat down to wait, we watched him navigate through tons of hugs, directing the younger hostesses and speaking to EVERYONE that walked in the door. It was almost as if he knew 80% of the guests by the way he asked, "Hey....where's (the wife's name) today, or is it just you?" Anyway, to top the warm welcome off, there was a jazz saxophonist playing various genres of songs accompanied by instrumentals on his phone. At this moment, it is safe to say......we were hooked on this place. We ordered our food from the waitress who did good at taking care of us. She was able to answer our questions and get our food out in a timely manner. Nothing amazing, yet nothing bad about her. Just an average waitress with no wow factor. The coffee was really good, and the food came out pretty hot. That's about it. After being wowed and awed by the atmosphere and the dynamic gentleman at the door, the food was really decent, at best. Everything seemed unseasoned and boring. At first, I thought it was just me because I am a heavy salt user. However, my wife is the exact opposite of me, and the food was very bland to her. She had the mushroom omlette and was excited to try something new (shes not a regular omelet eater like me). She was very unimpressed. My pancakes reminded me of the boxed microwave pancakes....almost too uniform and perfectly shaped, and definitely not homemade. The chicken fried chicken seemed as if was just fried with no seasoning on it or in it - meaning they definitely did not brine the chicken. The white gravy definitely tasted like water and flour, and that's it. No pepper, etc... I'm not saying the food was horrible. I am just saying that the food was boring and lacked any wow factor. Would we eat there again? Yes, because the atmosphere was great, and the food wasn't horrible. Just wish they seasoned the food more. 4 stars for the vibe. 3 stars for the food. read more
