Mac's On Main

Located in a prime spot in Grapevine, Mac's on Main is an intimate, upscale, but affordable dining establishment. We went to meet up with some friends for dinner and drinks after touring some of the local breweries. It was a little crowded when we got there, but we were able to sit at the bar. Our waitress/server/bartender was exceptional. She took great care of our group, even though the bar area was also a little slammed at times. The ladies ordered wine and we ordered Old Fashioneds, which were expertly and quickly made. We ordered empanadas, shrimp etoufee, and I had the Steak Frites. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. We ate, had a couple more drinks, and decided to head out, as it was nearing closing time. Even though it was late, we never felt rushed and were treated to an amazing experience. This is a great date/dinner spot. Sophisticated but not pretentious and a great menu. I've heard the brunch is spectacular as well. If you're in Grapevine and looking for food and drinks that won't disappoint, go give Mac's on Main a try

The highlight was the Goat Cheese Quesadilla appetizer. Simply delicious! The orange roughy was definitely well seasoned, but felt like it was missing something (perhaps a starch to compliment the veggies and fish). The wagyu steak burger was also delicious, meaty and hearty. Our waiter was the lowlight of the visit. It was our anniversary dinner, and while we didn't expect the red carpet to be rolled out, we had hoped he would say more than 5 words to us. No introduction, no pleasantries, just "what to drink?" Having worked in customer service, I always try to empathize with how much work these folks have on their plate, but this gentleman definitely was checked out and just going through the motions. It was too bad, as the hostess who welcomed and sat us was wonderful. We wish she could be our waitress too! With all of the competition around this area, this probably wouldn't be the place we would go to again for an anniversary dinner.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch. Our server Tim was excellent. We were also pleased that it wasn’t loud. We were able to relax and enjoy our meal and conversation. Before our meal arrived we were served warm sourdough bread that was baked to perfection. My husband had the pork chop with steak fries and I had the French onion soup and salad with sweet potato fries. Everything was prepared exactly as it should be. Both servings of fries were crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. The salad is offered with free refills. The French onion soup was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service and atmosphere is great!

Great place to go if you like your steaks heavily seasoned. What could have been better: 1. I was seated on the patio and after 10 minutes I had to ask if my server knew I was out there. 2. I ordered the rib-eye medium rare and it came out medium plus. When I showed the server and asked if she agreed, she proceeded to tell me how she liked it, not whether it was a proper MidRare. 3. The manager came out twice to check on me but he looked like he was in a bad mood, so his dark cloud didn’t help my experience. 4. The redone steak was a proper medium rare but it was heavily seasoned to the point that I couldn’t taste the steak. At this point I wasn’t going to complain twice to people who didn’t seem to want to hear it. For what it’s worth, the burger, steak fries and onion rings are all solid but I can’t see myself visiting this place for a steak again. Too many options with Bob’s, Dino’s, Perry’s and so many others in the area.
