My wife and I have a love/hate thing going with Delaney's. Â We live locally (5 minutes within walking distance) so we stop in more than we probably should for a late dinner or quick bite to eat. We like the place, but it has become an exercise in frustration. Those that frequent the place will tell you- the food is not the problem. Most of the items on the menu- some of which are very unique- are pretty darn good.
Where Delaney's fails continuously is its inability to provide consistent quality service and timely food delivery. We tell everyone in McKinney who ask us about the place- "Hey its a great beer/sports hangout and the food is good, but you'll be wondering where or who your waitress is half the time, and why it takes 20 minutes to get an appetizer."
And sadly, no statement could be more accurate of this place- just read the reviews. Not sure why the owner can't find good help, but if he ever does, I think this place would stay even more packed than it is now, which is pretty respectable bar traffic throughout the week.
So, food, I would say: 4/5
Service Quality: 1/5
Food wait time: 2/5
I give it a 3 for now in hopes that the owner will hire MORE and BETTER wait staff. We WANT this place to be good, but we've begun skipping it for the service woes alone.
I can't believe all the horrible reviews here. Â We went here for the first time this past weekend and thought it was great. Â We had fantastic service and really liked our food. Â I had the turkey sliders and they were great!! I would definitely order them again. Â They have a zillion beers on tap and this place is WAY bigger then it appears from the outside. Â We had great service ~ our drinks were never empty and our food orders were perfect! Â I would definitely go again!
