    Classic burger
    Victoria P.

    The burger was fantastic--juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. When I couldn't decide between fries or tots, my server recommended the tots, and they were amazing--crispy and easily some of the best I've ever had! The only downside was the smell of tobacco drifting in from next door, which took away from the experience slightly. Otherwise, this spot delivered great food and friendly recommendations!

    Credit card processing fee

    I still really like this place and my original review is still relevant however I never realized they charge a 3% credit card processing fee. Down 1 star.

    Steak sandwich and fries, Austin Cider & Two Bells Ale
    Kristin R.

    We had friendly service and a really good steak sandwich! The fries were also thin and had good flavor. I was excited that they had a cider on tap too! We topped off our meal with the bread pudding and ice cream! Overall a good experience and would return. It's more of a bar (as advertised) so typical noise level is not great for a date, but it's a fun place for sure! I noticed they had lawn games inside that I'm sure they put out on busier days. I will note the sandwich was a tad spicy for my liking, but anyone who likes a bit of a kick will love it! Also- I'd like to add the bathroom was clean and smelled nice!

    Great spot for low key meal or drink... The bartender was attentive yet not overbearing...

    The service is the best part of this place! Great service at the bar! The ambiance was solid very fresh. They had a decent beer menu, too! The food was..... ok. Their chips were cheap store bought. We shared the BBQ pork was fatty and low on flavor! The tacos were OK, but the tortilla was low grade! The queso was decent, but again, chips were nooooooooo. I did mention the great service!

    Nachos

    My cousin and I were looking to grab a quick drink and some bites on a Friday night and we just so happened to see The Elwood. The place looked really laid back and there wasn't a crowd (which was a plus). We sat at the bar and ordered the nachos, bread pudding and a couple of cocktails. I can't remember the names of the drinks, but they were okay. The nachos were different but in a good way (really good flavor)! The bread pudding wasn't like what you'd get in New Orleans but it was still enjoyable.

    Shredded beef tacos
    Ro L.

    I really wanted to like this place due to it being so close to home, however I don't recommend it solely based on service. I ordered the shredded beef tacos, served with tortilla chips as it's side, not only were they cold the tortillas were chewy. However the taste wasn't bad. The hummus appetizer was small, but very tasty. Service was probably the worst I've experienced in quite some time. Not only did the waiter rush us when they decided to help us, they never came around to our table however were very attentive to the tables around us. I contacted the business by email and didn't get much of a response. Any place is worth trying.

    Pastrami sandwich
    Heather T.

    We came in today around noon after church and it had been a while. We had been several times when they opened and it was good. Great service, food. We walked in today and there was someone behind the bar, and someone at the bar. That's it, and us. It's seat yourself, so we came in, no greeting at all. The bartender and patron (maybe they were friends) were involved in a lengthy conversation about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce so maybe they didn't notice us. After a little while, someone came over and asked if we wanted drinks. Not sure his name because he didn't say, just asked about drinks. I think maybe he smiled once at the end, but seemed like he didn't really want to be there. Food was good but unremarkable. Too many places now to choose from locally to feel like we are doing them a favor by coming in. Wish them well, but doubt we'll be back.

    Cool patio

    One of the new restaurants in the new Hub 121 in McKinney. We came here on a Saturday afternoon to grab lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Servers were friendly and welcoming and service was quick at getting our food out. We sat out on the patio and had the brisket tacos which were delicious. Not a fan of the thick chips that came out with it but the salsa was good. All in all, I have to say that this place is definitely worth the visit and I will definitely be back to try some other dishes and drinks!

    Good service during midday Monday. They have discounted $3 tap beers on Mondays. I tried the rotating soup and was impressed.

    A great spot for a good bite, and knock down a drink. With a lot of places opening in the area, don't forget about stopping by.
