    If you like, waiting an hour and a half for your food and a smoke filled room this is your place! Food was good, but I had to go home and wash the smoke out of all of my clothes. It seemed like they must’ve been having ventilation problems in the kitchen.

    We went to Sugarbacon for an impromptu dinner out. We made a reservation but it ended up not being very busy. We were greeted by, who we think was the owner and he thanked us for coming in. The decor was kind of industrial but pleasing to the eye and the music was equally pleasing. The menu had just enough choices to not be overwhelming. Our server was super friendly and checked in with us on regular intervals. For cocktails I had the Purple Haze which was basically a blueberry vodka martini and was brought to the table with a bubble on it and when it broke smoke (haze) billowed out. We had the Sugarbacon appetizer, and entrees were scallops with lemon & dill risotto, and surf & turf with prime rib, scallops and added lobster topping. We finished the night with white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Everything was absolutely delicious. It was a little pricey but well worth the splurge. We will definitely be back.

    Our server was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of at every step of the evening! They took very good care of me and my wife for her birthday! This is by far one of our favorite spots in McKinney!

    There were several issues with our visit. First, everything was very slow. It took a long time for each course to come and we were not ordering drinks or anything special. Our server was slow as well and only checked in a few times between the long breaks in food coming out. Second, two of our four orders came out wrong. We saw our server write everything down and assume the kitchen was to blame for this in addition to the slow times. The food quality was good and everything tasted fine. Unfortunately we were completely put off by the experience to actually enjoy the food.

    Service was great. Waitress was very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. Food was not the best and was super expensive.

    You must check this place out when you're in McKinney! The food, service, and ambiance are all outstanding. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. The portions are large, so you can definitely share them. The lobster mac and cheese and the short ribs were amazing. The downtown McKinney square, where Sugar Bacon is located, is so charming. You should make a point of walking around it before or after dinner, as there are lots of great shops.

    Fun atmosphere! We had great service. We loved the deviled eggs. The charcuterie board was good. We wished there had been some different meat selections. Overall, it was good. Loved the happy hour prices on wine.
