Local Yocal BBQ & Grill - McKinney (TX)

3 /5 J C: I wish I could give 3.5 stars. Sandwich and fries were good, and the brisket had solid flavor. The potato salad and coleslaw weren’t for us—we only took one bite of each. It would be great if customers could choose their sides instead of receiving the standard ones included with the plates. Drinks werent refilled but service was otherwise fine. I would not return—its other bbq places with good meat AND sides, but my partner said they would go back for a sandwich.

5 /5 Scott Crawford: Got to say, the Local Yocal was a great experience! The atmosphere was comfortable and not too loud - lots of wood, brick, and leather. Our waitress Victoria was knowledgeable and attentive. Had the typical steak dinner but the Wagu Tenderloin had a wonderful flavor with just the right amount of wood grill - it cut like butter and melted in the mouth. Will happily return and hope to visit the butcher shop soon. Two steak dinners with salad and a shared side, dessert and coffee, w/o alcohol ~ $150 ... but there were other good choices so we could have had dinner for half that if we had wanted.

5 /5 Mia: Had a really good dinner experience. We were eating burgers at night. My Hamilton burger was packed with protein, while my husband’s regular burger, which he finished, was a bit salty. But overall, I thought the meal was awesome. The service at the bar was friendly and pretty quick.

5 /5 Matthew Krunglevich: A fun and inviting atmosphere that is bustling invites you in for a great meal. Service was friendly and kind. Food was above average with ample portions to please any appetite. The ala carte sides were great and very shareable. Lots of delicious steaks to choose from with seafood too. Family friendly with plenty of parking. Bartender can improve a bit as our drinks were bruised. Overall good experience where I will return.

5 /5 Michelle Nietert: We went to a special event at this location last night, and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had! The chef at this location is amazing and even was willing to accommodate my shellfish allergy and still allow me to enjoy a fabulous fish dish. Our meal was paired with Olema and Amici wines. For the first time in a long time, I drank and felt fine the next day as these wines have very low residual sugar and no additives. Their ending cocktail was one I definitely want to repeat. The service was wonderful, and the bartender had the best sense of humor. It was truly a delightful evening and when I would love to repeat as they have these events quarterly.
