    A wonderful dinner before the comedy club. We really enjoy the ambience of downtown McKinney. And Sugarbacon never disappoints.

    This is the second time I’ve brought people with me to have brunch. Once was at Christmas and recently on Mother’s Day. At Christmas time my friend had the avocado toast and I asked how she liked it. She said it was cold. We should have sent it back. The rest of us enjoyed ours. Last weekend, my son said his eggs were cold. I had the shrimp and grits and they were great as was my husband’s French toast. My sister wanted salt and pepper for her eggs and they were almost cold by the time she got the condiments. Why can’t it be on the table? I want to love this place and bring more friends here but now I’m hesitant to. Having cold food brought out is unacceptable. Also we tried the fried green tomatoes for the first time. They were just okay. They came out so quickly I think they were under a warmer. Not fresh. It’s kind of hit and miss here. At least our server was sweet and reliable but something needs to change so the food is always fresh and hot. Thanks.

    Sugarbacon Proper KitchenResponded 2 days agoHello, we are very grateful for you coming back and giving us another try even after your less than perfect experience during Christmas time. We are sorry that there were some inconsistencies during your visits. This of course is not our standard and we are always learning from our mistakes and trying to improve. Feedback like this helps us to get better. We hope that you will come back and give us another try and let us earn a 5-star review. Have a fantastic day!

    This is our third time to try Sugarbacon. It’s been 6 months to a year in between each visit. Food is subpar for price, service was very slow. I got the Purple Haze cocktail and it tasted like cough medicine. I try to like it, but get let down each time.

    Sugarbacon Proper KitchenResponded 2 days agoHello DJ, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate your feedback and we are sorry that some of the items you may have had were subpar and of course our standard is to have great service. We apologize if it seemed slow. The purple Haze is a sweeter cocktail, if that isn't something you are looking for we have some other options on our cocktail list that you may love! We hope you will come back again and let us give you an outstanding experience! Have a terrific day!

    The specialty drinks we had for brunch were quite excellent but the food was just mediocre for the price. We had the French toast which my wife did not really care for, the breakfast burger my son in law had was quite good and my daughters grilled chicken sandwich was pretty good. I had the ribeye and eggs but it took us a while to even get salt and pepper for the eggs. Meat was just OK, not great. My grandkids had the children’s burger and Mac and cheese that they seemed to like. Service was fairly slow for as little crowding at that time of the day.

    We should have known when the hostess was more worried about checking her hair in the window reflection that seating us we were in trouble. After watching this for 10 minutes at the hostess stand we were finally sat. The waitress was nice, the food was not good. We had the signature dish the sugarbacon which came out cold. We also both had the grilled cheese which took (no joke) 45 minutes to get to the table! 45 minutes for grilled cheese...I expected it to be life changing. Sadly, it too was cold and covered with a spicy mayo that was so over powering that all I ate was the cold french fries. We won't be back!

    Sugarbacon Proper KitchenResponded on May 8, 2023Hello Heather, we would like to apologize about your bad experience with us. None of what you described is our standard. We will work with the staff to make sure that we do not have another experience like this. We also apologize that the food was anything but perfect for you. We hope that you will come back and give us another shot and an opportunity to earn a 5-star review.

    Food was good, ambience was nice. Food took a while to come out. And it was very quiet; too quiet. Keep the music on! Ha! The pork chop was questionable if it was totally cooked... Still, would return!

    Sugarbacon Proper KitchenResponded 2 days agoHello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear that you liked the food!

    Food was just ok. Steak was full of fat. The main thing is the service. We waited for ages for a person to seat us(I had a booking) and it was not busy at all. Then we waited at least 40 mins for our meals to come out- they came out after we had to ask where our meals were bc it was such a long wait. And then to pay the bill- we again waited for ages. Service was slow and poor.

    Food and service was fantastic. However the facility needs a deep clean. Fixtures, partition between booths and bar area needs dusting and glass cleaned. Additionally, bottom of toilets and floors were very dusty. Cobwebs seen on light fixtures as well. The dust hasn’t been removed from these areas in some time as it is quite thick.

    We had an 1115 am brunch reservation. We stood and waited for a bit while they put tables together. Our server came after about 5 minutes to take a drink order. We didn’t get our food until 1:30pm!!! Our server “O” left us hanging for over 40 minutes between visits. We had to flag down another server to ask if he could send her back! We had to ask three times for simple things such as salt and pepper. The fruit for the kid was the last thing to come out after we were all done and ready to leave despite us reminding her three times. Such a sad first visit that we were all looking forward to. We were friendly and not rude but that didn’t make any difference. We won’t bother going back. There are many other options. The manager said oh too bad you already paid I could have made an adjustment! Really, we tipped way more than they deserved because we know people are trying to make a living. Just do better!!

    We arrived about 20 minutes early for our reservation. We were seated right away. We ordered the sugar bacon & it was just ok. We placed our entree order & we waited. And we waited. After about 45 minutes we still didn’t have any food. We had to ask our server to check on it. He came back & told us the kitchen was backed up & it would be 10 more minutes. Another table received their food & they had only been there 20 minutes. We left & wont be back.

    We stopped by when they were having a shift change or something because, when the host sat us down she said the server will be right with us. Nobody came for like an hour so the host came back and said she will take our order. We got the Sugarbacon for appetizer and it was room temperature. The bacon was so hard and it was like chewing on cardboard. That was the only thing that came out. We had ordered a Cesar salad, sandwich, and truffle fries for the entree off of their brunch menu. None of that came out after we waited patiently. Nobody stopped by or anything, we could have just gotten up and left because it was so terrible. There was a table that got seated right after us when we came in. A family and some children. They got service immediately, the food came out, and they had left. All while we were still sitting there with just water wondering if we should go elsewhere. We called a person who looked like a server to ask if he can check where our food is. He explained that it was put on hold, that’s why we never got it. The manager came out and offered to comp our meal because we had ordered the Brunch menu and it was now serving from the dinner menu. So we didn’t want to bother getting food that was sitting in the heat lamp or something. It was a bummer and we had made a mistake by going here.

    Limited menu, food was ok. You feel like the chef was trying to make a statement because there was things added to your dish that were unnecessary. The table ordered a certain drink it came out totally different than any other bar, again overly done with extras and had to send back. Probably won’t be going back

    The food was fair. There was a bit too much going on with the various dishes. The service left something to be desired. The wait staff was very polite but very slow. There was a significant wait for our drinks and we waited over 10 minutes to get our check and had to request it twice.
