The Common Table

Ordered various plates and drinks. We were here for brunch. The food was actually very good. I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but I was so glad to be proven wrong. The drinks were made well, too. They had music playing when we arrived, and then a DJ took over. It was mostly old school hip hop (which I really liked), and it went to newer hip hop. It was loud but not painfully loud. We could still have a conversation and have fun. Our waitress was outstanding. She was on her game, very friendly, and gave us her opinion on food and drinks when we asked. The restaurant had lots of atmosphere, super clean. It did start getting quite busy around lunchtime. The only minor gripe was the number of kids that were there. I personally don't have a problem with kids, but we were there for brunch and having a few adult beverages. We were constantly reminded there were kids because the kids next to us kept hanging on our table and bumping into us. Don't let that deter you. This was a fun place with excellent service and good food.

After watching The Sopranos, the first thing I had to order was pasta with vodka sauce—and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The appetizer was fantastic as well. The atmosphere was cozy, with wonderful decor and captivating photos that set the perfect mood.

We are new in McKinney and we were pleasantly surprised. Wings and sweet potato were amazing, the Buffalo sauce is super tasty. Husband ordered some ahi tuna tacos which were quite small and pasta, that was delicious. My only regret is the lava cake is not a lava cake, but everything else was super nice.

I always have a great time here. We always sit at the bar when we go. I ordered the chicken and waffle which was delicious. Our bartender took great care of us. Make sure you order the biggie tower when you go. Hip Hop brunch is definitely a good time.

Great Sunday R&B brunch vibe. Food was delicious and perfect portion size. I was on unhappy with the presentation of the chocolate lava cake we ordered. When Kayla delivered it to the table it was obviously not warm. I requested it be warm, in order to allow the ice cream to melt. Kayla return it the dessert in pieces. It made me feel like she didn't care what our first time experience was like. Presentation and service is everything for me. We missed the mark today. We will be back because it's close and the children enjoyed the food.

I love brunch and this spot was recommended! This is a lit brunch with music and dancing and I love it! The food was good but came out cold. Server was really nice but can tell she was overwhelmed with how busy it was. All in all, I'll definitely go back!

Worst restaurant experience in many years. Beyond bad. Do not recommend. Zero stars if possible. Extremely slow service, food came out at different times (kids meal came out last), some of the food never even came out. It can’t take that long to make quesadillas. Cocktails were mediocre at best, took more than 20 min between ordering and serving. And the restaurant was not even 50% full between the indoor and outdoor space. No apology from waitress, just blamed the kitchen on making a mistake. Waitress was difficult to flag down. All in all an embarrassing establishment. Will never come back and will warn everyone to stay away. Come at your own peril!

I enjoyed the brunch we had nice tender flaky chicken with flavorful waffles! The music was nice they slipped a few not so hip hop songs in there for the Sunday hip hop brunch. The tables are very close! We will do the patio next time. The gangster paradise was nice as well!
