Chicken fried steak topped with southern gravy, fresh made mashed potatoes and bacon green beans
Troy P.

Atmosphere is very cool and relaxed, great for friends, family or business clients. Service was outstanding! He greeted us quickly, returned with our drink order and made great entree and app suggestions. I had the chicken fried steak, gravy, mashed potatoes and some really great green beans. Steak cut with a butter knife and had a nice crust. The service and atmosphere made it tough to leave we were having such a nice time. Cool place!

Love the vibe when I walk in so whimsy and calm and everyone seems very positive like they woke up with just the brightest smile on their face this morning Frank was quick with the refills, very honest about the choices to have the most fulfilling experience and probably cares about my wellbeing because he was concerned that I had no protein on my quesadillas! They were so geuuuuuud ugh definitely gonna stop by for those again mamasitas. (satire 10/10)

This is my 2nd review on Stix. We have been coming here for years. it is a good experience, every. single. time. Today we had the pleasure of chatting with one of the managers, Diamond. If you can get an employee to be that excited about their job and what the contribute, you are doing everything right. Thank you Stix, for being the place me and my neighbors can go to on a Friday night, last minute, letting the kids enjoy themselves and giving us parents a reprieve. AND for being a good workplace for your employees. The cheese fries are my favorite I have had anywhere

Great family friendly restaurant and bar in McKinney. The food and menu was nothing to write home about but they have tons of space for little ones and the Christmas decor was a nice touch. They have a huge outdoor play field with options to kick a soccer ball around, tire swing, and tree house. Our toddlers loved it!

You're My Boy Blue burger!

Now this a very fun place to be anytime of the day or week! Not only do they have so many fun things scheduled but even their seating and was so varied and mismatched that it had a quaint like-able ambience , like you are at a house party at your friend's home! Everywhere you eyes go there are interesting things on the wall and ceiling with customer appreciation notes such to quite a few areas! Courtney , who waited on us was charming , courteous and genuinely happy to be doing what she is doing! She gave us a lay of huge space that is the Stix and also bout the events held here! We ordered the Poison Apple (drink of the month)) which was great fun ! And The Aluminum Cowboy glass of beer was cold and refreshing! We had ordered the Burger with blue cheese and the salmon with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes. Both were made fresh and prepared with care to make them both outstanding in taste and presentation. We plan to visit them over the weekend and evenings to enjoys the events organized here

Fried George's Bologna Sammich w Fries
Tony S.

The Stix is a fun family/dog friendly spot off Eldorado in McKinney. Visited today w some friends and came away impressed. Our waitress Charlie was friendly and attentive. My friend raved about their fried bologna sammie and it did not disappoint. Wifey had a salmon salad and she was very pleased. Try their fried jalepeno/ranch appetizer too.

Chase Man's Breakfast Burrito

First off, Shout out to Peyton, our server, for going above and beyond in making our dining experience special. He was so knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. Thanks again, Peyton. The food...so many choices and so hard to pick just one. I ended up getting the Chase Man's Breakfast Burrito with the steak covered in queso. It was very tasty yet a bit dry which was remedied with more queso. My friend had the grilled bourbon salmon and loved it. The restaurant was a little loud but had a great family friendly feel to it. The place was huge but the service made it feel quaint. Will be back if ever in the area.

Cute little place, but if you're looking for ice cold beer (as advertised), this is not the place for you! Ordered an ice cold Dos equis, dressed with 3 limes. We received a plastic cup of warm beer with 1 lime ... Immediately knew it was not the place for us so we asked for our check. The check was $7.58 total. Handed her a $10 She brought us back $ 2. Planning to leave the remainder as a tip... but curious, we asked why she didn't include the $.42 and she said "well that's just the way we usually do it; if it would've been over $.50 we would've rounded up... that's just what we've always done... I would otherwise have to ask the bartender for change every time... (does that make sense?) - yes ... ^^ that is exactly what she said! As we were leaving, she asked, "did you want me to go get the $.42 we giggled as we were leaving.

The fried jalapeños are my favorite! There is a massive outdoor area with several different play areas for children.

They need a host. It's open seating, and it's chaos on a busy evening. People become very aggressive claiming tables.

Ask the Community - The Stix Icehouse

Do they accept contactless payments when you dine in?

Yes, I paid with tap to pay last time I went. They bring the device to your table.

Do you take reservations?

Hi there- we are open seating and do not take reservations for our primary areas. We do have a private party room that can be booked for larger events and if you call ahead with large parties, our managers will always work to accommodate with ease!

Are there TV's outside for watching football?

Yes mam! we have 5 TV's on the porch!

Is there a weekly trivia night?

There is! Every Tuesday!

What vegan options are available?

From what I can see only veggie tacos, sorry

Is Stix dog friendly? Is there a dog park?

We love furry friends at The Stix. We ask that they are on a leash while on the porch and while we don't have a "dog park" per say, we do have 14 acres of wide open spaces for you and your pup to roam. About half the folks on the porch every day… 

Do they have gluten free bread for sandwiches?

No Gluten free

What drew me is I remembered having eaten a great burger from a place in the area a long while ago…read more The pictures of burgers looks good and the name sounded right so we stopped by. The parking lot was like what I remembered but inside was a different layout so I am not sure if it was the same spot. Anyway, prices were very reasonable! When the food came out, we could immediately see it passed the eye test--cheese drizzling, real meat, grilled bun. First bite was excellent--I could taste the grilled bun, the flavor of the burger and even the crisped grilled parts of the meat. All other bites, just the same. Had me audibly saying "yum". On top of that, they offered horchata to drink and it was delicious. The fries weren't only well seasoned but they also had an usual kick of heat. This will be my go-to burger spot when I'm in the Garland area. Thanks for being great and charging fairly!

WOW, a GREAT divey burger joint! Somewhat easy to find and enough parking. It is cozy, so don't…read morebring a large party. Lots of drink options from the standard soft drinks, iced tea, fruit drinks and horchata! The service is fast, friendly and helpful! The burgers and fries are the stars. I had the Big House combo (Massive, 3 patties with American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo and mustard). it includes a drink and fries. Really good fries. There are more reasonable big burgers, but my hunger was unreasonable and I needed a burger that was too big to eat, a knife and fork burger. The flavor was absolutely spot on! I'm guessing each patty was a 1/2 pounder. perfectly caramelized, moist, beefy. Price was VERY reasonable. Yes, no burger was left behind. I did go home and take a long nap afterwards :)

I have probably tried every single burger on their menu and Rodeo Goat is a classic, high quality,…read morego-to burger spot for me. I have came here with family and friends visiting, I have ordered this for takeout countless times. Rodeo Goat is where it's at I'll be talking about the 2 most recent burgers I tried - The brisket beef attacked my arteries in the best way - the brisket melts in your mouth (overshadows the beef though). This is the meatiest burger I've ever had from here. I have a bit of a sweet tooth so the sugar bomb is the most frequently ordered burger for me (maybe 10+ times?). I really enjoy the arugula mixed in with grilled peaches, a bit of jam and the party itself. I love this burger and I hope it never leaves the menu. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive - points to them!

I want to love this place. I really do, but with so many nice or better burger options available,…read moreI'm just going to say I will choose somewhere that offers medium rare burgers or hits high on the napkins quotient (as in, how messy and greasy it - the more, the better). Rodeo Goat seems more of a schtick theme. We started with the "Steaming Pile," which is basically characterized as bacon-cheese tots with additional goat cheese & a sunny side up egg. The egg was properly cooked. The portion was small for $10. It's really not a shareable size for more than two light eaters. There was zero hint of truffle oil. The Cowboy Cobb salad was a healthy portion, and all was good except for two things: the "jalapeño croutons" were not crispy in any way - they were like what would happen if a mushy hush puppy and tempura batter had a love child and it wrapped itself around an uncivilized jalapeño trying to socially climb. The second was that the burger patty had no cheese (why bother?) & I know it was an add-on. I ordered the Inspector Clousseau. Not much of a smash on the over-cooked patties. And, yes, I know what to expect from smash burger, but again, these patties were two the thickness of anything I've ever seen called a smash burger. More importantly, the pan sauce poured over the entire plate was cold and congealed. Generally, the flavor was okay. The service was nice, but at premium prices, I'm looking for elevated effort from the kitchen.
