"Wow, the food here is truly excellent. This has quickly become my favorite spot in downtown McKinney! The grilled cheese was fantastic, the soup had the perfect texture and flavor, and I really appreciated that each plate included a little Hershey’s Kiss. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Our order arrived promptly, which I really appreciated. I don’t visit this area often, but if I’m in the neighborhood, I’d definitely love to come back for lunch and try something different!"

"Our family has been ordering home delivery from this 54th Street location for over a year now and we have never had an issue with delivered food. My kids love the street kid burgers and waffle fries. Other household favorites include the burgers, steaks, gyro, and gringo dip.We've eaten at location twice. The location is about what you would expect from current day sports leaning bars. Lots of TVs, especially around the bar, an eclectic mix of memorabilia on the walls, and Americana leaning music, mostly country and classic Rock with the random top 40 from fifteen years ago mixed in.The first time the service was good. There was a slight mix up when our steak came out and I received another customer's well done steak, and he received my medium steak. The server noticed the mix up immediately and took both steaks back immediately. We were a few tables apart under the same server in the same section. Mistakes happen, the steak was re made, and it turned out tasty. Slight inconvenience but overall the food was good, service was excellent, and there was nothing to complain about. The manager came by and apologized all over himself, but we assured him everything was okay, that it was just a mistake, etc. We were not unhappy at all and the manager was very apologetic.Our must recent trip we were seated under a very attentive server. She took our order promptly, made sure we always had drinks more than half full on the table, and was very quick to remedy any minor issues. Unfortunately the quality of the steak on this trip was just not good. I'm not sure if the restaurant has made any alterations to the recipes being used to prep meat in the kitchen, but there was an overwhelming, unpleasant smoke flavor to the steak. I hesitated to send the steak back, but the server insisted another steak be cooked. I do not like to send food back, I apologized for inconveniencing her and the kitchen, but the smoke flavor was so overwhelming the steak was really inedible. When the steak was replaced it was cooked closer to order temperature and the flavor was a little less smokey, but still undesirably strong. It was good enough to eat most of and we took the leftovers home. After warming the remainder to eat at home it was quite rare on the end that was left uneaten in the restaurant. The steak was ordered medium and after reheating at home there were dark red areas in the middle of the steak. The overall texture was also not great, nearly like it was steamed and the sear was non existent. The server was, again, awesome. She apologized, informed the manager, discussed a course of action with the kitchen, and did her best to make it right. But at the end of the day the steak was just disappointing. I had hoped the manager would stop by so I could ask what changed regarding the steak preparation, but at no point did he stop by our table. Gringo dip was still great, my husband enjoyed his gyro, but the steak was a giant disappointment.Overall, despite the great service, the food being sub par at a restaurant (and in this economy) makes me think we should try another local steak and burger joint. : sad to say because we had really grown to like this place."

"1st time here. Service is excellent kind Very loud and noisy cafeteria, Texas typical. Super loud. Free chips salsa: spicy salsa is good: the regular salsa tastes like canned tomato. Ordered the fajita taco salad in shell. Dressing option i chose was creamy chipotle: that dressing is a vinaigrette, and it has quite a bit of sugar. There’s nothing creamy about it. There’s no cream in it at all: maybe management has previously changed the ingredients or is confused? I requested a small queso and use that which worked great. The fajita meat seem to be a good quality cooked very perfectly with a tiny bit of pink in the middle. Only problem is there was less than a tablespoon on the salad …. if that. Typically, I cannot finish a taco salad, but I cleaned the bowl on this one.. a small female. (The portion of meat was very minimal). The beans are canned black beans and they put corn in it, which is really nice but I am not sure if the corn was frozen or canned. There was one tomato cut in half a little cherry tomato. Drink was water from tap. For the price, they can most definitely do better. This was not a $20 meal by far."

"For our anniversary dinner, which we had booked weeks in advance, we were seated at a cramped and noisy bar table. The only acknowledgment of our special occasion came from the host. We ordered the market price for a pound of crab, only to find that I received perhaps three ounces of meat from a single claw. Their response to our dissatisfaction was a mere $25 refund. I've never felt so disregarded, even at chain restaurants. My husband and I enjoy discovering new places to celebrate our anniversary, and we'd been eager to try Urban Grill. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found our reservation table was a small bar top for two, which I dislike, especially on such an occasion. Despite this setback, we tried to make the best of it. The host acknowledged our anniversary, but that was the last notable gesture. Our server Debra was friendly and attentive, and the food was indeed good. My husband enjoyed the lamb and the "little piggy" drink. I ordered the surf and turf, featuring filet and Alaskan king crab. While the filet was excellent and perfectly cooked, the crab was disappointing—just one long claw with maybe 2-3 ounces of meat. The sides were delicious, and we enjoyed the apple fritters and crème brûlée as well. However, when we received the bill, my surf and turf cost $105. The filet itself was listed at around $39, meaning we paid over $60 for a meager amount of king crab. For the same price elsewhere, I've had far larger portions. The market price for crab is listed at $69.99 for a full serving, so it felt like we were charged an excessive markup. In summary, while the food was tasty, the steep prices, uncomfortable seating, and lack of meaningful acknowledgment for our anniversary left us unimpressed. Unfortunately, due to these factors, we won’t be returning."

"What did we think of the restaurant? Right from the start, it was impressive, giving off a great vibe as soon as we walked in. Although it’s small, the cleanliness and hygiene were definitely up to standards. Here’s what we ordered: **Crispy Vegetarian Spring Rolls: 4/5** They were good but not extraordinary. **Veggie Curry Puffs: 5/5** It felt like a delightful fusion of Thai and Indian cuisines—like they got married and had an incredible reception! They reminded us a lot of spicy Ghughra/Samosa, typical Indian appetizers. **Roti Curry: 5/5** This was truly unexpected! We experienced a hint of Indian spices blended with authentic Thai curry—an exceptional combination. **Yellow Curry: 4/5** It was tasty but arrived a bit later than the rest of the order, so we didn’t enjoy it as much since we were already quite full from the other splendid dishes. **Panang Curry: 4/5** The flavor was really good. Instead of steamed rice, we opted for fried rice, which turned out to be an excellent pairing. **Sesame Chicken: 4/5** Although I don’t eat chicken, one of my friends does, and he said it was tasty. **Coconut Ice Cream: 3/5** This could have been better according to my fellow diners, but I enjoyed it since it was my first time trying it. **Must-tries:** Roti curry, Veggie curry puffs, and fried rice with any curry. #thaicuisine #Dsfoodreview #mostlyvegetarian"
