We arrived at a full restaurant with only a couple seats at the bar. We decided to eat there rather than wait for a table. We were so glad we did. The bartender, Heather took such great care of us the whole night. She helped us feel at home and treated us like we were regulars there. She explained the small plate format and gave us her recommendations which was appreciated. Each plate was a delightful surprise of complex and mouthwatering sauces and seasonings with fresh ingredients. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and plan to return again real soon.

Every meal here is an absolutely amazing experience, every single time I’ve visited. The staff is amazing, super knowledgeable, and always on their game. Food is always fabulous, and the menu rotates (while keeping the favorites) to offer new things each season. No meal would be complete without superb drinks – and the bar staff kills it here with every drink. 12 outa 5 stars – would massively recommend.

I try to give out 5 star reviews sparingly because few restaurants truly wow – but this one hit the mark on everything from service, atmosphere, and of course the actual food. Wow. Unique, varied, delicious (obviously), and most surprisingly quite affordable considering the quality. My favorites were the Forest Floor (mushroom dish), the Salmon (forgot the full name), the Shortrib, and the chili chocolate cake. Wonderful stuff and the staff all knew the menu well which is lovely. Will be coming back again very soon. Props to the chef and service staff.

This is a tough review. And its only just cause I cant truly capture in words the aesthetic of the menu selections and the cozy ambiance. The menu is thoughtful, balanced and plays on different cuisines that work wonderfully all while staying true to the southern feel. The chef and kitchen deserves kudos for all the great food. I had about half the menu with family and the level of food this team is putting out just makes me 100% sure that the other menu items are just as solid. Wonderful whiskey selections and a small intimate spot in downtown Mckinney makes for good times and delicious meals. Post pandemic, restaurants like these are what you want. From the first plate, I knew that I was about to be served a good meal. At the end, I can say with ease that this was one of the best, if not the best, eating experience I have ever had in Mckinney. As a chef, this dinner was inspiring and memorable. Thank you again!

This was my first visit to Rye, and it was amazing. I had the pleasure of experiencing Heather at the bar. She was so nice and welcoming. The drinks were perfect, and the pork lollipops are IT! I’ll definitely be coming back. Don’t forget to buy beers for the guys!

Do yourself a favor and get the pork lollipops. Best pork I’ve ever had in my entire life. Everything there on the menu is amazing though. Definitely a great date night!
