McNeal’s Tavern and Eatery in historic downtown Plano is an absolute gem! The moment you walk in, you’re hit with serious vibes reminiscent of the 80s TV show Cheers. The entire staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home. A special shout-out to Lo, David, Emily, and Logan, who are tremendous! Their impressive karaoke skills are an unexpected delight that adds to the charm of this place. And if you’re a fan of shuffleboard, you’ll be thrilled to find a piece of history here. The table from East Dallas’ beloved Elbow Room (RIP). McNeal’s Tavern is a perfect spot for a fun night out, filled with great people, nostalgic atmosphere, and unforgettable moments. Highly recommend!

A delightful pub and restaurant in the heart of downtown Plano . Very reasonably priced and freindly place . Spacious , relaxed atmosphere with a big bar and sizable seating area in and outside . The patio outside has nice seating area . Big selection of drinks and beers , more than 30 draft beer options including local beers. Lots of other bourbon and liquor options. Food is actually good . Tried the chicken fried chicken and the chicken tenders , both were great. Burgers seem to be good but did not try them as it seems there is pork meat mixed with the burger patty . Chicken wings were ok not great . Need more spicing inside.but they were crispy enough . They have karaoke night on Fridays which was a lot of fun . Bartenders were freindly and one of them sings while performing a song on the karaoke I , which was lots of fun . Highly recommended

One of the best burgers I have ever had in my life! My husband had the chicken fried chicken and it was not bad but the burger takes the cake. So good we took one to go and had it for breakfast the next day .It was cold and still delicious. Our server was so nice, I think he name was Logan but if not I'm sorry. He was so polite and helped us with food recommendations. We will definitely come back again and again. It gets a little busier as the night goes on so if you like it quieter try around 8 but if you like to party try after 10. Great vibes and nice little place. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

This place is a hidden GEM! The owner, Chris, and his staff really put their heart and soul into customer service and it shows. We’ve never eaten a bad thing here, we try something new everytime and have never had any complaints! Live music and karaoke often. Definitely worth checking out!

This is a very welcoming place for people of all types of walks of life. I appreciated the very warm demeanor of the staff and how prompt my service was. This was my first time ever attending and there was karaoke. No matter your skill level at singing, the crowd will hype you up here. I have attended a many karaoke and the atmosphere here is, by far, superior here in TX. The menu is inexpensive and, the premise is very well kept/clean. This is the downtown Plano spot.

Let me start by saying Wow… came in late on a Thursday night for the first time not really expecting much. Almost a little hesitant because my girl and I were just expecting typical bar food. The food was incredible. Seriously so delicious. Whoever made this food was really cooking with love. My girlfriend looked like she was about to cry after the first bite. Abraham was super cool and gave us great service. This place is a go-to for us now. Come give it a try.

Ordered the classic reuben sandwich and a half order of the fish and chips. The sandwich was very good. They don't use Russian or Thosusand Island dressing. instead of a whole or a spear pickle, it's served with pickle chips. Personally, I prefer the pickle chips because I like them inside my sandwich. The fish was very good as well. It's a bit on the salty side in a good way. The saltiness with the tarter sauce mesh well. Both plates came with shoestring fries. They were fried and salted just right. The fries were so good, too. The bar/restaurant has a lot of charm. It has that worn down good feeling look and very inviting. The only thing better was the service. The staff were very friendly, and everyone would come by and check up on us. It's definitely a place I will be coming back to.

Another great visit to McNeal's. Whether visiting the Plano or Galveston location, this is a great bar/restaurant. While in the Dallas area, stopped by the Plano location tonight.Had the burger, which is a great burger. Chelsea and Mary Lou took great care of us tonight. Can't wait until my next trip and will come back again.

McNeals in Plano … our first visit a few nights ago. We were looking for a bar to watch the Fiesta Bowl but did not want crappy “same old-same old” bar food. Our search led us here… and we are SO glad we made that decision. I dug into this McNeal’s Classic quickly so the picture isn’t as pretty as it could be but the food was DELICIOUS. Bar food but very well made. Shepherds Pie was amazing. Burger and a rib eye both came out cooked perfectly to temp. Server Logan was great! Very relaxed atmosphere. Clean. Friendly. Parking out back. With some great football coming up over the next few weeks, this is the perfect spot. Looking forward to going back. (And… Go ‘Canes!)

We've been in 2 times in the last month. Rachel was 1st bartender we met and she welcomed us in with a big smile, friendly, and was attentive. We also met Chris the owner as he wanted to check that we were enjoying everything. Since then we met C and Sara 2 other bartenders. They were also friendly and attentive. The food is reasonably priced, big portions, and very good. My husband loved the fish n chips, and I had the chicken fried chicken which was also wonderful. We will definitely tell friends and be back for more.
