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.

I do not drink alcohol, but the Grasshopper drink was AMAZING. It tasted just like melted mint ice cream! We got an order of the truffle fries to go and they were also amazing. The prices were pretty decent as well. I removed a star as the service was rather slow and inattentive. We entered at 7:45pm and didn't leave until 9pm despite only having 3 total drinks and no food. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Second the food was actually pretty food! I like the variety of options that they had on the menu for the all you can eat. Quality was good for the sashimi and hand rolls. Everything tasted good and they even had some unique options like the crispy rice spicy tuna. Now for the main negative... The service. It all started out great and our server was friendly but I think she was waiting on too many tables and we didn't see her for a good 30+ minutes. As a result, during our time there we only really got to order three times (one of which was for dessert). For a time based all you can eat that's the killer and why I deducted 2 stars. Literally left this restaurant feeling frustrated by the service instead of happy and content from the good food. Hopefully that changes as everything else was great!

Also, shoutout to the girl at the front w the Star Wars sweatshirt. She complimented my Wu Tang shirt before I could compliment her fabulous sweatshirt and from that point I knew a RAD time, was about to be had ;). I hate that I forgot her name, but she was awesome and instantly made the place feel even cooler. The Force was no doubt with her! Had a genuinely great time and will definitely be back a 3rd time!!

My husband and I met friends for a double date, and from the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly throughout the evening. We started with cocktails, shared three appetizers, enjoyed two bottles of wine, ordered four entrées, sampled three desserts, and finished with nightcaps. Not a single dish missed the mark. The burrata was fresh and creamy, the calamari was perfectly cooked, and the steak tataki was one of the highlights of the meal. Every entrée was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The restaurant has a polished atmosphere that still feels relaxed and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy good conversation, and appreciate great food without feeling rushed. Excellent food, excellent service, and an all-around memorable evening. We're already looking forward to our next visit. We also want to recognize the outstanding service we received during our visit. Our server, Gabby, was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and helped make the entire dining experience feel special from start to finish. It's clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. We were equally impressed by Connie, the manager on duty. She was incredibly welcoming, professional, and present throughout the evening. Connie went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and her leadership and hospitality were evident in every interaction. Between Gabby's exceptional service and Connie's attention to detail, they elevated an already wonderful meal into a truly memorable experience. Great food brings people in, but great people are what make guests want to come back--and Gabby and Connie are excellent examples of that.
