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.

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

We've been regulars here for a long time, and I'm surprised I never took the time to write a…read morereview. This is easily one of our favorite places in Allen. We've tried a wide variety of items on the menu over the years, and everything has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Whether we're stopping in for a quick bite or staying to watch a game, the food never disappoints. The beer selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety of draft and bottled options ranging from crisp lagers and wheat beers to IPAs, porters, and stouts. Fun tip - if you order a German beer, it's served in a traditional 0.5-liter glass, which adds to the experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood sports bar. There are TVs everywhere, plenty of seating, and a lively but comfortable vibe that's perfect for catching a game with friends or family. They also host a variety of events throughout the year, making every visit a little different. One of my favorite nights is Pint Night, where you receive a complimentary pint glass featuring the selected beer with your purchase. It's a great promotion and just another reason we keep coming back. If you're looking for great food, an incredible beer selection, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is hard to beat. It's our go-to spot in Allen, and I highly recommend it.

We decided to try Brass Tap again tonight for dinner. We have been here once before about 3 years…read moreago and it was ok, nothing too memorable - nothing horrible. Food was ok. So, we thought - why not, it's close- let's go and see if we like it better this time. Let's start with the positives. We arrived shortly after 5pm and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The server was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. She was attentive and service was fast. No complaints with her service at all. It seemed pretty chill and low key. A few people trickled in but nothing crazy for a Saturday night. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised. The color of the pretzel had me fooled. It was pretty dark in color which usually indicates overdone and hard so when it was amazingly soft inside - wow! So good! We loved the mustard and cheese sauce that came with it. My husband and son ordered a burger and said they were tasty, my other son ordered the chicken strips and said they were good. Negative for the meal, I ordered the blackened cod tacos and subbed the chips and salsa for the Gilroy Garlic Fries. I was very excited for the garlic fries since we are originally from that area and are very knowledgeable about the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and all things Garlic. Here's where this dish wasn't exciting - the tacos were pretty bland. I took the coleslaw from my son's chicken tenders to try and add more flavor and make the taco more palatable. I only ate 1 of the 2 because there really was just zero flavor. The fries were probably an even greater disappointment. In the center, was a very small amount of cheese and maybe garlic? It had virtually zero garlic taste - I was searching for it. It was a sad version of garlic fries. I would not order that again unless they were improved upon. I went back and forth on 3 stars versus 4 stars because while service was great and fast, I can't confidently say I'd recommend it to someone. I may say it's a great place to chill for a beer and an appetizer but definitely NOT a meal. I think if your expectations are to stick with the appetizer list then you're probably going to like it. They have a large beer selection and plenty of screens for your favorite games.

We were told to keep our ducks and when we returned with 3 ducks we would get a free drink. My grand daughter got a street noodles dish that tasted good. ( I don't remember names well) . I liked it too. I got a lunch plate from a Mr ---Chinese . It was very good and I had so much left over , I will eat good tomorrow. I also took some of my grand daughter's meal home. We will be back. My problem is making choices with so many choices. They also call in take out and delivery.
