"Harvest has long been a favorite on the Square in McKinney, and it is a leader in the Metroplex for serving hyper local food from North Texas farmers. In late 2023, owner Rick Wells oversaw the relocation of the restaurant into a former Masonic Lodge and created a three-floor experience that includes a top floor bar with live music that serves the full menu, a second floor designed by the chef, and a first floor where diners are most likely to end up with a cute, pink bar tucked in the back. The menu changes frequently and seasonally, but a few things, including the duroc pork chop and the chicken fried steak, are evergreen." - Courtney E. Smith

"Know your farmer, know your rancher — that’s the mantra of this restaurant. You’ll know them very well after one dinner, because their portraits are hanging in the dining room (ask your server to tell you the stories). This local favorite restaurant moved to a new location on the Square in McKinney, a former Masonic lodge. Now, with three levels of dining, you can have a different experience each time you visit." - Courtney E. Smith, Leslie Chatman

Great ambiance, friendly and quick service, reservation required. My husband reserved a table at the harvest for my birthday, they were busy but we hardly had to wait. We ordered a bloody Mary( decent), left hook lenda and old fashioned (both were excellent)! Our server that day, I think Martin was polite and friendly. We ordered devilled eggs (it was okay, not sure if crunchy pecan was enough for flavour) and sweet potato chips (huge portion, and the hummus was good). I ordered eggs and steak (portion was small, and I felt it wasnt juicy due to that, missed mash or so I did :( and fried chicken steak (portion size so huge that even 3 people can eat that)! Cheesecake with goat cheese is an acquired taste but they definitely made my birthday special. Thank you! Recommend their cocktails, fried steak.

Had a great dining experience overall! While the chicken enchiladas weren’t quite to my taste, everything else was fantastic. I highly recommend starting with the beef skewers — super flavorful and well-seasoned. For drinks, the Loverbug is a must-try — refreshing and unique. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. If you get the chance, definitely request a seat on the third floor — the live singer there really adds to the ambiance and makes the evening feel special. Will definitely be back to try more!

Chose this place for my husband's birthday. I noticed that they had a pretty nice menu and live music performances. On top of that they have this incredible option of ordering Wildflower bouquets from their own Farm. Not only are they farm to table for food, but they also supply their own floral decor AND this option of a custom bouquet. I surprised my husband by reserving a table on the top floor, minutes before a talented musician started playing, had a delicious meal and a custom bouquet. As for noise, I said moderate because we purposefully chose to dine on the top floor with live music performance. Will definitely be back!

Where do I start? The whole evening was magical ✨️ We celebrated our 24th Anniversary 💕The food WAS DELICIOUS! Knowing you're eating good quality and clean food is the icing on the cake. Oh, and we were treated to not just one but two desserts, and I don't have any more words to describe how they melted in our mouths. Thank YOU, Harvest, for having us. Farm to Table done, right ✅️

I recently visited this place for the first time, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! Ordered the deviled eggs, crispy chicken breast, and the gluten-free chocolate mousse & orange vanilla custard pie. Everything was so delicious. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was also great—comfortable and inviting. I’ll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend!

This is my third time over about 2 years. I loved it the first 2 times and really liked it this time. First, you must know the food is excellent! The pork chop was phenomenal and a huge portion. My husband and I shared the dish and still had some to take home. The appetizer selection is slim and unimpressive. They do have a full bar and can most likely make you whatever you want. The cocktails were good, but nothing that stood out. I will say that we went on a Saturday night and we were on the 3rd floor. Previously the band had been wonderful. However, this time the live music was horrible. So much so that other tables were engaging with us just to complain about the music. The girl who was the lead singer with several older men, just couldn't carry a tune or stay on beat. It really ruined the experience. The table next to us left because they couldn't handle the music anymore and we considered cancelling our meal and going somewhere else. She was a Wednesday afternoon karaoke singer, not a Saturday night band.

Date Night favorite! Reservations are a MUST. Live AMAZING Music Amazing Service Tasty Food Filling Portions We started with cocktails, an Ol Fashioned for him & a Grapefruit Martini for me - both were greatly enjoyed. The seasonal cocktails are a great way to try something new. For appetizers we've had the Deviled Eggs as we've seen so many photos of them on Yelp. They were okay, but nothing special (IMHO). My hubby enjoyed the Seasonal Dip, but the Beef Skewers are our favorite. Entree time & we are usually starving! He's a sucker for Short Ribs & I'm a sucker for fish so we both were thrilled to see great options for both. -My American Snapper was good, but I was most impressed by the accompaniments to my fish - corn squash / garbanzo beans / Brussels sprout / fresh herbs / chemoula sauce chili oil / grilled lemon. The portion was more than filling and was so tasty, best part it was dairy free so I didn't have to augment it at all! -I've also really enjoyed the Beet Salad w/chicken as an entree and the Sweet Potato Hummus as an entree. The Hummus is such a large portion I couldn't finish it all. -The Pan Roasted Halibut is delicious, but A LOT of peas! -His Braised Short Rib was good, but a little dryer than normal. Still my hubby finished it all. His accompaniments - fingerling potatoes / leeks / roasted carrots / mustard / béarnaise / pickled jalapeño definitely added to the dish. Not sure he'd order this again. On future visits he's enjoyed the House Hamburger & Poblano Chicken Enchiladas (his favorite). For dessert my hubby has enjoyed the Apple Crisp dish and it did not disappoint! He's also enjoyed the Lemon Goat Cheese Icebox Pie. The House Cookies are hit or miss whether they are gooey or hard, so he usually opts for something else. Being dairy free I usually choose to drink my dessert & get a glass of the Gruet, Sparkling, Albuquerque, NM (closest thing they have to Prosecco) and it is delicious! We were treated to the music of The Jon Christopher Davis band and they were incredible! We've only had once where the music wasn't great, but the other five or six times it's been incredible! We both agreed this is a MUST return place and already have reservations to return for our next date night.

When we first arrived, the hostesses were so welcoming and so full of the type of energy that just makes you feel excited to be there! Our server, Lisa, was amazing and provided outstanding service. She took the time out to explain any drinks or dishes we inquired about to help make sure we were picking items we would be satisfied with (and man oh man was our food delicious!). When asked about the history of the restaurant she told us about the owner's passion of helping those in need in our community and desire to keep prices low so that those in the community can still enjoy their amazing dishes at an affordable price. This is definitely an establishment that we will continue to support!

Great enjoyable evening on the third floor. Almost every night has live music and cocktails and the wines are excellent. They really focus on presentation of the food and amazing service. Had the red fish and was very happy

I have said this before, when I go to a restaurant under $100, I have one expectation, over $100 and I have another. The restaurant is nice, comfortable and a very pleasant staff. Except for the food, it is a good place to eat. However, we dined there last evening, 4 people and the 100% opinion was that it was.....ok. 3 said, based on expectations that this place was a FTLT(first time, last time). For a better scale place, everything was just ok. Nothing bad but nothing better than just ok. Three diff salads, three diff entrees, one dessert and every food facet was just ok. For me (and I love dining out), when I eat at better places, ok just ain't gonna cut it. So this place is a definite FTLT place and I will never to back one would I recommend to a friend or neighbor. Foe the price, many better offerings around.

My favorite restaurant of the area! I love Harvest and have visited here many times, including at their new location at the Masonic. Every experience has always been wonderful! Most recently, we visited this past weekend to check out the summer menu. Harvest has a seasonal menu so it is always exciting to see what they change every season! Our waitress told us that the more significant changes happen from summer to fall and then from winter to spring. These changes are due to what the local farmers, ranchers and fisherman have available. Harvest is based around local meat, produce and food, which is another reason it is one of my favorite all-around restaurants. We started by ordering the Strawberry Basil Mocktail and an orange and bitters drink on request. Both came out excellent, the strawberry and basil balanced each other out very well for my drink. Next, for appetizers, we ordered the Charcuterie Board, Beet Hummus, and Beet & Arugula Salad. I have ordered the Charcuterie Board each time I visit and it never disappoints. It is honestly one of my favorite charcuterie boards in the area! The brioche toasts are my favorite part, and always included. For the summer season board, it included a blue cheese, sharp cheddar and an additional cheese, along with peach slices, pickled okra, a jam spread, and candied pecans. I was hoping for some goat cheese but that was thankfully included on our Beet & Arugula Salad. This is another one of my favorite dishes here. The candied nuts, goat cheese, beets and arugula are an amazing combination. Lastly, we had the Beet Hummus, which was very tasty. It came along with sweet potato chips, which were great. My only complaint is the serving was pretty small for the two of us. For our entrees, we chose the Filet and the Ribeye Steaks. I selected the Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes and the House Cut Fries as my sides with the Filet. The entirety of this dish was excellent. The steak was done perfectly at medium rare, by request, and the sides were delicious. The ketchup included with the fries was such a wonderful surprise! It is probably the best ketchup I have ever had, it is perfectly sweet. The Ribeye steak also came out great at medium rare doneness and the best béarnaise ever! Our waitress suggested we keep it in and she was right, it was delicious. Lastly, we order dessert. We chose the Peanut Butter Honey Chess Pie and the Apple Brown Betty. We realized we had ordered the Apple Brown Betty before and it was just as good as last time. I only wish the scoop of ice cream had been bigger! The Peanut Butter Honey Chess Pie was another one of my favorite dishes of the night. It was the tastiest combination of rich peanut butter, chocolate, honey, and pretzel. You could taste every flavor with each bite! Overall, Harvest impressed again and I cannot wait to return! Our waitress also made it a wonderful experience and I always love the amazing interior and environment as well. Thank you so much for great memories!

I loved everything about this place. Greeted with a smile, cool vibe on the third floor that we luckily didn't need a reservation for. Really good live music, attentive, friendly server and the food and drink was fantastic! My friend and I shared a beet salad with chicken and the roasted pork enchiladas. Every part of the meal was seasoned to perfection and was so fresh tasting. The meat was perfectly cooked. I had the Violet Beauregard cocktail, delicious. There was a $3 split charge for the entree, that wasn't disclosed but I wasn't mad about it. Portions were large enough that we both had plenty to eat. It's not a quiet space but it is intimate and you can hear each other over the music. If I lived in Dallas, I'd be a frequent diner.

Harvest at the Masonic has a clear mission: to restore and repurpose. They focus on creating sustainable menus while spotlighting local farmers, ranchers, and artists. Upon arrival, you'll find yourself on the first of three floors, each offering a unique experience. We were seated on the second floor, which was filled with colorful food paintings, cookbooks and other knick-knacks, reminiscent of someone's home. The kitchen is also on this floor, and our server encouraged us to take a peek at the hardworking kitchen staff as they prepared our meals and ensured nothing went to waste. I opted for the Deviled Eggs and a Chicken Fried Steak. The rumors are true--the Chicken Fried Steak is massive. I recommend sharing it with a partner and finishing it during your meal, as I found the leftovers to be dry and unsalvageable the next day. Overall, the food felt mediocre and lacked the wow factor I was anticipating. It felt more like an attempt at elevated comfort food. After dinner, our server suggested we take the elevator upstairs for a nightcap. The ambiance changed drastically as we entered a dark, lively room packed with diners and people enjoying live music. I think the layout could be improved by replacing the dining tables with smaller cocktail tables and informal seating, and adding a dance floor, as it didn't feel as inviting as I expected.

Why haven't I reviewed Harvest at the Masonic yet? I love this cute restaurant located in downtown historic McKinney! I normally stop by here when showing friends or family the area. All the drinks are top of the line and have great flavors. You can tell there is a lot of thought and passion put into their foods and drinks. I have tried a variety of foods and drinks and never been disappointed. Tip: Checkout the 3rd floor, sometimes they have late night bands play. Tip 2: Ask the bartenders what drinks they recommend.

Eva and Krista were very welcoming and accommodating when we inquired for a table. It was incredibly packed on a Friday night so book a reservation if you want to dine in. The third floor has a nice set-up for drinks and entertainment. I can see the draw to come up and hang out for the ambience. When we dined in, we met David and he was awesome. He was very enthusiastic and knew the menu well enough to tell us when certain entrees we saw on yelp would come back in season. He helped make recommendations and was prompt with the flow of our orders as the meal progressed. By the way, the menu published on their website was accurate so previewing it before coming in helped move things along. This was my first time here and what drew me in was the presentation of the drinks, the clever way they presented devil eggs, the variety of entrees options and the good reviews. I got a grapefruit martini that was excellent and pretty. I got the pickled veggies that was delicious, I never tried or heard of pickling corn or potatoes. My brother got the beef skewers with pickled potatoes - once he told me that the beef tasted like they put A1 sauce mix with bbq, I couldn't taste anything else but that. He ordered the filet entree and they cooked it to his liking so he was happy about that. For my entree, I got the creole shrimp with dirty rice with spinach which tasted good. The bread for the table was a nice assortment of different types to try with butter. The things that fell flat was the dessert and soggy fries. We got 3 cookies to go and the chocolate chip was horrible. The white chocolate chip was okay, and the peanut butter was better. I'm not sure how they could mess this up but it was a bummer. My brother loves french fries and he was disappointed that they weren't good. Overall, I think you should try this place because it's fun and creative but I don't see myself becoming a regular diner. I'd come back for drinks, appetizer and entertainment upstairs. The service is great and I saw a lot of first dates and couples at this spot so it's a great place for date night.

I've not been since they moved to this new location but definitely upgraded the location and vibe. The top floor is grown grown with great seating both open and intimate options and a beautiful bar. I had a bourbon, an old fashioned, and a salad. I need to go back and just enjoy the people and staff!

We have been to Harvest on many occasions. We love this restaurant. It is probably one of our favorite restaurants in the DFW area. We have visited the new location on a few occasions. But the third floor is a new experience. We had a reservation for four. When we arrived and were seated near the front of the stage at what seemed to be a cocktail table for two. We ordered drinks, which included a bottle of wine with chiller. We then ordered an appetizer. When our appetizer arrived, there was no place to put it because of the small light, so I removed it and set it on the floor near our chairs. Then we ordered food. You get the picture. We had a very difficult time placing a moving things on our table with a bottle of wine, remaining appetizer, table light, drinks, etc. Note to management. We love this restaurant. We love your food and what you have going on here. We have never had a bad bite of food here. Fresh, hot and always fresh. But please, please do not try to sit four people at a table designed for two and expect them to have a comfortable and memorable dining experience. Ask the guest first. We would immediately said no, we will respectfully wait or try again. We would rather have a comfortable dining experience than an uncomfortable one.

we were really underwhelmed with Harvest after hearing friends really rave about how great it was! My husband and I stopped by their new location for date night and tried a couple of their favorite entires as well as their deviled eggs but we weren't big fans! the portion sizes are LARGE but the flavors can be lacking! the location itself is nice and spacious! The hostess and waiters were great and provided plenty of recommendations!

First time trying Harvest in the new location. The new setting is cool, but we felt like the food quality was overall lower than it used to be in the old spot. The cocktails were just okay, the staff seemed disinterested, and the food was very mediocre. Enchiladas were worse than your average Tex mex place despite being very pricey. My wife's burger was charred to a crisp and pretty bad. The apps were the only thing really good. Maybe they're still going through some growing pains.

Mom was visiting town and heard this was the spot to go to if you are in historic downtown and they didn't disappoint the place is sooo beautiful inside and out. The hostess was very sweet in the front and our waiter was wonderful even coming an hour to close. The red fish was 10/10 and the chicken fried steak could feed you for days lol. They have a cocktail bar /lounge with live music on the third floor don't miss out on that. Can't wait to go back and try some other recommendations he told us about in the menu.

We had such a lovely time at Harvest. The dishes are seasonal. Nevertheless, the food was exquisite with a very unique pallet. The ambiance was warm and homey and service was kind and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Harvest!

This is a really cute date spot in downtown McKinney. Recommend make rezy's ahead of time and ask to be seated on the 3rd floor if you want to enjoy live music/vibes. The deviled eggs were the best I've eaten. I opted for chicken thighs with roasted veggies; the chicken was so moist and flavorful. But the real highlight was this chicken fried steak. Highly highly recommend this dish. The service was amazing too! Our waitress would check in often, refill waters and drinks and provided some really good food/drink recommendations. Also we were celebrating an anniversary and they treated us to a chocolate cake on the house. It was the sweetest. Everything is farm to table and you can tell the chef and owners aim for excellence with their food and ambiance.

Local | Roasted Chicken | Vibes Local - everything in the place from the art, to the plates, to the food is sourced locally which is pretty cool and makes you feel good about dining there. Also - everything is potentially for sale - so if you like something, you can tell your waiter and then made take something home or know where to go to order it. Roasted Chicken - amazing. I was between the fried and roasted chicken, but I went with the roasted chicken because the waiter told me emphatically it was his favorite. They smoke and then roast the meat which gives it a distinct taste that is rich in flavor. The sides for the meal really solidify the taste. It comes with beans and potatoes which are well seasoned and I highly encourage you to get them as well. Vibes - the place has great date night vibes. We went on a Saturday night with a 7:45pm reservation. It was full but not packed which is a tough balance to strike - but they do a good job. We were in a popular restaurant but it was not crowded and they had Pro tip: Sit in Angel's section. He's an amazing server and super caring. Very knowledgeable about the menu and se habla español. Pro tip: give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes for parking. It is in a very popular area with limited street parking.

I have been wanting to try this place for sometime now. I never had a chance to go to the old location so when I heard it moved it was added to my list. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary last week so I thought what a perfect place to make a reservation. I love the whole farm to table concept and it's really neat how the menu changes with the seasons. When we arrived we were greeted; I didn't realize they had three floors! I would've requested a different floor! We were sat on the first floor not in the main area.... We were tucked away in a weirdly set up corner by the hallway to the women's bathroom. At first I didn't think anything of it but after getting up and going to the bathroom I saw the rest of the place and was thinking.... Man they could've sat us in a much better spot. But oh well. Our waitress was really great and knowledgeable; super sweet. We did however have some ticket issues (we never addressed but I'll explain at the end). I love to try everything so we went all out... well as much as I could with my husband's taste palate! We started off with the deviled eggs, the pickle board and the Serrano Caesar salad. The pickle board was really tasty, I loved the cauliflower and the carrots. The corn was delicious too just hard to eat. I almost would've preferred if they would've pre cut it off the cobb. The beans were like any other bar like pickled beans. It definitely could've been served with some bread or crackers of some sort. The deviled eggs were interestingly good; I really liked the candied pecan touch. The flavors married pretty nicely with those; and I adored the presentation in the egg cartons. The Serrano Caesar was really really nicely done. For a salad it was delicious; only negative thing was you had to cut the lettuce because it was served whole leaf style. I get it for presentation it's pretty but we didn't dig that. My husband got the Bison NY strip and I the Ribeye; as well as the sweet potato hash and the dirty rice. We both were aware that sauces came with our steak; but assumed it would be on the side or put on the plate as a fancy decor like most places. It was on top of all of the steak. Mine honestly was delicious with the sauce; cooked perfectly and had a nice kick with the jalapeños. The potatoes were decent. My husband's steak was also cooked perfect and the sauce was good but we both would've rather it been on the side. It in a way took away from the Bison. His mashed potatoes served with his were delicious. The sweet potato hash was a tad underwhelming and the dirty rice was just a flop. We knew going in it wasn't Louisiana dirty rice it was more like a jambalaya version of the chef's.... With no Cajun seasoning. The rice was really dry, slightly undercooked and it did not have good flavor. We also had cocktails with our meals. I started with their Mai tai and it was not tasty (in my opinion) I wasn't going to say anything but the waitress noticed I didn't drink any of it and offered to make a different drink.... The O'Malley was next and it too was not tasty (in my opinion). I really appreciated her efforts to make sure I had a drink I liked. We weren't really interested in dinner and our waitress was like please let me buy you dessert especially for your anniversary. We both said no you don't have to do that but thank you. She insisted again so we agreed. She brought out the milk and cookies. Set up was cute 2/3 cookies were really great, but that chocolate chip one was not good. It was so floury and thick and was not what a chocolate cookie should taste like. We still really appreciated the nice gesture. When we got our bill; I noticed she had charged us for the dessert she insisted we get on her; and were also charged for the drinks she said she was taking off the bill. Look before anyone comes at me; I was perfectly fine in paying for something I didn't like. It happens from time to time, but don't say you're going to comp something and still add it to the bill. It could've been a simple mistake... either way we didn't bring it up and just paid for it all. So my 3 stars are for the whole experience with seating, the bill, food, the service, etc. The menu is great; I will probably be back in the future to try the chicken and seafood options. The presentation of the food is pretty, price is on the higher end on some items but that's normal for locally sourced foods, and portions are really hefty. Definitely give it a try if you haven't but make sure you don't get stuck in the corner like we did.

I really liked how this restaurant has different levels. Third floor is the cocktail bar, with live music on Fridays. It was super busy, and we managed to grab a table. However, it took over 20min to be seen at that table and get service. Cool atmosphere but cocktails were just okay.

I was very excited to try this local restaurant who supports local producers with a farm to table type menu. Very interesting historic building - three floors. We made a reservation on a Saturday and were put on the waitlist for the 3rd floor, which we didn't realize was the lounge. I would say the host staff was 3 when I asked some question about being able to sit at a dinner size table or getting on a waitlist for the dining room - somewhat impatient. The lounge is a great place to have a drink and an appetizer, but I would not recommend for dinner. We had a nice waiter, but he seemed a little stressed. Our cocktails were very good. I was excited to have a steak in Texas and ordered the filet. I would have to agree with one of the other reviewers who said it was one of the, least impressive steaks. Mine was overcooked, dry, and chewy. I'm pretty sure the manager knew it because he came to our table almost immediately upon my plate being placed in front of me. I showed him the status and he apologized and asked what he could do. Knowing it would take forever & we wanted to enjoy dinner with our kids, I opted to just eat it. My husband had fish and my son had the chicken fried steak. Their food was tasty and prepared properly. ** They had a great band at 7:30. Again, lounge is a great place to hang out and drink.

My wife and I found ourselves in downtown McKinney Square, and figured we'd grab something to eat. We did not find this place from recommendation, or any fancy search, we just happened to be across the street when we parked. I can call this one of my luckiest discoveries ever when visiting McKinney, because this place is like nothing, I've experienced in North Texas! We walked in, and the place was pretty packed, it took about 15 minutes to seat us, but it was worth the wait. While I waited, my wife and I walked to the back of the room where the bar was, and I had my typical IPA. The bar area was pretty crowded, and the bartender seemed really nice. We took our drinks to the front, and by then our table was ready. Harvest Seasonal Kitchen is a farm to table restaurant. Everything in this place is local, and the menu had so many choices. I had no idea what I was going to order. Even looking around, you could see on the expressions of the fellow diners that this was going to be a great experience. When it came time to order, my wife went full on Alpha and ordered a steak, which relieved me, because I was now able to order something else knowing I'd be able to take part of her steak, since she never finishes her food. I ordered the Pork Enchiladas. I ordered deviled eggs as well for my appetizer, the deviled eggs were reccomended by my waiter.. We chatted for a minute and admired the environment and the awesome people that work there, and shortly after our appetizer arrived, the deviled eggs were ridiculously delicious, they had a great twist, and the flavor was of course amazing Soon after, our food came, this is when the real magic happened. I can't explain to you the sauce or technique used to make my enchiladas, but it was heavenly, the portions were great, and a mixture of different flavors and vegetables made my enchiladas so interesting yet delicate, it was like a soft wind blowing on a hot summer day, perfection. I was happier than a camel on hump day! My wife loved her meal as well, she said her steak was cooked to perfection. Moments into our meal, my wife was generous enough to share me a few bites of her steak, all I can say, is wow! We dined, I had a few more IPAs, and we really enjoyed the entire experience of dining at this restaurant. From what I understand, they are going to move to a different location, but regardless, where this place lands, I will dine here, and love the experience. This place will be a go to for my wife and I, and we will for sure come back with friends. I loved the decor as well, the paintings on the wall, the decorations on the ceiling, the cleanliness of the bathrooms, and the table. The whole dining area was art. There wasn't a single thing in this place that they got wrong. This place could easily be my favorite place to dine in McKinney!

Great except for allowing kids and strollers in the third floor lounge. Let adults have something without kids!!

I really want to give this place five stars... The food was good. The live music was fantastic. The lounge is awesome. But our service was terrible. We repeatedly had to ask for things. I had to stand up and look for my server repeatedly. I hosted an event and both my guests were disappointed at the service. I did speak to the manager when he came to our table and asked how our evening was. I will return, but I will not let that server take care of me again. He put a tarnish on an otherwise perfect evening.

I was so excited to try this place based on reviews. It was horrible. Wanted a bottle of wine, asked about the list and couldn't be told anything - not even the order if went from light to dry,etc. Ordered the chips and chefs dip -it was fine, not great but not horrible. Moved on to the Caesar salad which was actually the highlight- was great! Then did the ribeye, this is where it fell apart. Ordered med rare, was grissly, chewy, inedible. The potatoes were ice cold,the jalapeños were a weird after thought. Waiter barely checked on us or we could have told him the issues, he just took our barely eaten plates with no comment. Want to give this place another shot but don't think I can.

My wife and I were kindly invited back to Harvest. This time we had dinner on the first floor. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Service: Davis was our server for the night. He immediately acknowledge us and shared a list of his favorite dishes. Service was on point throughout the night. Food: We started with the fried shrimp. The crust was nice and crispy and the white barbecue sauce was flavorful. For dinner, my wife had the red fish which she enjoyed and I had the flat ironed steak. My mouth is watering just thinking of how delicious the steak was. Steak was cooked to perfection. Ambiance: If you're on a date night, I highly recommend that you dine in the first floor. It's not as crowded as the third floor, which led to a more relaxed and more attentive service. Thank you Rick, Cody, and Davis for everything. My wife and I will see you soon.

Great food and service, I'd recommend the fried steak and Cajun shrimp. Make sure you have reservations as this is a popular place right now.

Everything about our experience was great! From making the reservation- to the confirmation call we got the night before. The greeting and noting it was our anniversary- seating us in a quiet booth- wonderful waitress and off the charts delicious food!!! Will definitely be back!

Great experience! The drinks were gorgeous and well made, the food was delicious and the service was top notch! We also had the pimento cheese spread which was so rich and tasted amazing. The chicken fried steak was HUGE, we definitely should have split it, but instead I took the leftovers and ate it for 3 days and it was better every day haha. Definitely check out the top floor- great bar and live music and such a cool vibe! Will definitely be back even just to hang out at the upstairs bar for cocktails and apps!

The decor is so nice and different! Don't go if you are vegetarian as there are barely any options and snap peas dish wasn't good. They charged $1 to split the meal which was uncalled for. I had the striped bass which was yummy! Deviled eggs were great! The drinks were good too!

After hearing so many positive reviews, I decided to convince my fiancé to come here for a date night yesterday. We seated ourselves on the 3rd floor where they had live music, and it was a really lovely evening . We even met the owner on our way up in the elevator - love to see that he's involved. We split the brisket tacos as an appetizer, which I devoured. My fiancé had the chicken fried steak and a side of sweet potato hash, and I had the striped bass. The mashed potatoes with the chicken fried steak are DELICIOUS. I kept stealing them off my fiancé's plate. LOL ! And the fish was delicious as well. love that everything is farm to table and they're transparent about where they source their produce from. We will definitely be back here to try out some other dishes :) I

Farm to table, organic, local and seasonal! Worth every penny I spent... I enjoyed the food! Portions are filling and are well balanced. Also, immense respect for using only local produce and poultry! Way to go!

Can we PLEASE make an option to give zero stars??? I'm updating my review after my horrible experience on 12/31/22, when my boyfriend and I arrived to enjoy a lunch that I had made a reservation for. After we were seated, the short brunette lady with her hair tied up poured us some water, we thanked her and I asked if we could have some straws for our drinks. Her response to this was to give me the DIRTIEST, most FOUL facial expressions and looks, then huff before walking off. After she walked off, we IMMEDIATELY got up from the table and walked out. We will not be returning, ever. I'm not sure what prompted that woman to think her behavior and attitude was appropriate in response to my request for straws, but any restaurant that thinks it is okay to treat patrons like this will not be receiving any more of my business.

Unless you have a reservation, best to arrive right when they open as available seating will be quickly taken. Much better ambiance in this new location. Three floors of seating. The service was excellent and friendly. Not stuffy at all. The food was yummy delicious and the menu has expanded. Also a much better wine list. Best success to the restart of an amazing restaurant.

Updating as we just went to their new location. Stellar food and vibes! Great service our waiter was so friendly and knowledgeable. And great to hear that the chef is keeping a vegan dish on the menu!

We stopped by for the Saturday brunch menu and we sat at the bar since we didn't have reservations and they were expecting some reservations. We had our three year old granddaughter and the seating was comfortable and the bartenders were friendly and attentive. We started with the deviled eggs which were tasty. I will skip them next time and try something else. I loved the delicate flavors in the beet & arugula salad. It's definitely something I will order again. The butternut squash soup was yummy. I wish it was served piping hot. Jack thought his chicken fried steak was very good and would order it again. Our granddaughter had a grilled cheese sandwich with fries and all of us would order that again :) The mimosa flight was gorgeous. I'd order the pineapple as a first and grapefruit as a second. Sooo yummy! We can't wait to come back!

Awesome place in the heart of historic downtown McKinney, TX. The decor inside is very nice with the rustic country ambiance. The table and chairs in the enclosed patio looks like the swinging chairs you would have in your backyard. The service was excellent. Our server Tim, very friendly. He explained the concept of the restaurant. It's the farm to table concept. So the food varies depending on the season. The food is exceptionally fresh. My roasted chicken was juicy and tender. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Everyone talks about the deviled eggs, but I have yet to try those. However. If you like hummus, you MUST try the carrot hummus. Unfortunately I don't have a picture, but when I say we ate every last bit...we were mopping it up with bread. It was amazing! I'd go back for that alone. The drinks are good, and change seasonally. Right now the smoked old fashioned isn't my favorite because of the vermouth. Too dry for an OF. The regular OF is great. I usually get the striped bass. The lime butter is so good, ask for extra. The other person got the red fish. The flavors were amazing and the puréed mashed potatoes were spot on with whatever the other sauces were. Only complaint on that dish is having to pick the skin off the fish. Just serve it without. The steaks here are a little weird. Small portions and too many flavor profiles, so stick with seafood or chicken.

Amazing food and service. Beet humus was inspired and innovative food. Cocktails were well crafted and unique. Live music too!

I was excited to try the new location of Harvest at the Masonic and to also introduce visiting family to one of my favorite local restaurants. We dressed-up and were excited for a classy night out. When we arrived for our reservation, we were surprised and disappointed to be told that the second-floor dining room was closed (open only " on special occasions") and to be seated in a loud, bright, casual room with rock music pumping throughout. Our waiter was pleasant but disorganized. He took our entire order (drinks and entrees) all at once, and then delivered our appetizer (deviled eggs) well before our drinks arrived. As for the eggs - having ordered them at the prior Harvest location, I was excited to order them again. Unfortunately, these eggs were overcooked to the point of being tough. The bread fell apart into crumbles as you buttered it. On to the entrees -- My blackened striped bass was served cold, and my son in law's chicken tinga lacked flavor. Credit goes to the kitchen for nailing the red fish with chorizo which was delicious although the spill had never been wiped clean at the pass After a long wait, a second drink was finally delivered. This was after all the plates were cleared and we were ready to go. We decided to cut our losses and headed to another nearby restaurant for desert.

Holy Moses! The food is spectacular! We were looking for a late night bite and this was beyond amazing! We split the beet salad and then got 2 entrees. The veggie entree with potatoes and Brussel sprouts BLEW MY MIND! I keep thinking about it! And split lemon goat cheese pie for dessert...perfection! This is my new favorite restaurant!

Food as always was fantastic. I feel terrible for the chef who does such wonderful work that the ownership has decided to focus more on making money off the third floor bar than providing a great restaurant experience to the remaining customers. Anyone who was a fan of the previous Harvest location should spend their money elsewhere. The wonderful atmosphere of the previous location was gone and we were severely disappointed with dining under the bright fluorescent office building lights while basically touching the table seated next to us. The previous version of Harvest was one of the best restaurants in Texas. They have a lot of work to fix the new version.

Well, we had gone to this restaurant before it moved into the larger location, and enjoyed it very much. I'm not sure what has happened with the larger location. We had a 7pm reservation, we were seated, and nobody came back to the table at all. We waited, probably 15 to 20 minutes. Still nobody? We decided to leave and started getting up and made it into the elevator, and someone came over quickly and begged us not to leave. We ended up sitting back down. Ordered, and honestly, the food just wasn't as good as it used to be. We used to recommend it to people who asked about good places, and we probably won't recommend it again.

It is not every day you find a 5 star rating. The food here was superb. We loved the ambiance and story behind everything from the food to the furniture to the linens being sourced here. The food and ambiance took this place to another level. My only hang up and we almost did not go was their website and yelp strongly recommended reservations. I tried to make same day reservations but their site would not take it. It did clearly say that reservations had to be made 24 hours in advance so I do give them the nod for clear instructions. I was not inclined to call but did eventually. I got an answering machine and had to leave a message. I called them back and they did take reservations and had open tables. So if in doubt give them a call but reservations are encouraged. Now on to the food. For starters they brought a variety of breads. They all were distinct and tasty in their own way. The climax was the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with a honey glaze. This is by far the best chicken fried steak I ever had. Usually not a fan of honey I decided to not modify it and take it as it came. The contrast and honey was delightful and just a small amount of sweet to make a spark. Wow!!! I am not sure if I would ever be willing to try or eat anything else from there. Give this place a try and enjoy the experience along with great eats.

Finally ate at Harvest at the Masonic! The food was fantastic, so was the service. We even bumped into Rick himself. What a fun night! Menu is fun and reasonably priced. First floor is nice dining area. Second floor is event space. Third floor is more dining space but with live music and a bar. We will be back!
