This was was 3rd time in. I think it’s a cute place and I think the food is good. Their appetizers are pretty amazing. I’ve had their soup and a sandwich that I enjoyed. This trip I ordered a hamburger. You can tell the meat is fresh but we were both a little disappointed that it wasn’t cooked properly. We both ordered medium rare and the burgers were well done. If they said they can’t do medium rare, I would have ordered something else but they asked how we wanted it cooked. I would also like to see a few rotators for beers. I’ve had all the beers they have, that’s fine but none were a favorite, maybe add a blood and honey hint hint. Other than that, it has a nice little patio, it’s cute and clean and the service was fast and pleasant. I’ll go back.

We came here for brunch and were quite impressed! Portion sizes are huge. EJ’s signature salad is possibly the biggest salad I’ve ever received at a restaurant! The avocado toast was simple in a good way, and the bread they used was light and fluffy. The salmon add on is only $8, which was a steal for the portion. Highly recommend for a casual brunch! We plan to return to try some of their many daily specials!

Very disappointed in the food. It was beautiful, but just wasn’t good. Service was slow, but they had a private party going on & that may have had something to do with it. I cannot recommend the fish and chips, & the asparagus was not good either. However, my wife did like her salmon, but her veggies were very bland.

I wanted to share a wonderful experience my friends, family, and I had at E.J. Wills Gastropub. I made a reservation here for a party. Upon arrival the manager and staff met us with open arms. They set us up on the side room, I believe with children our party was 26 people. We had top notch service, the room worked great for the party. Waitresses did an outstanding job tending to all of our needs. They even allowed us to bring in our own birthday cake after everyone had filled up on wonderful menu options from appetizers to meals. Overall I would highly recommend E.J. Wills to anyone. The atmosphere is very welcoming and laid back. This is a great spot for after work drinks, the occasional celebration, and it’s family friendly. Thank you for another wonderful experience!

Nice restaurant pub with variety of beers and wines. Food was okay, not the greatest. A limited option of food entrees to choose from. Easy to find and no wait to be served. Cocktails were ok and average priced. Nice for friends and dates or dining solo. ENJOY!

One of the Gluten Free places where the food tastes amazing!!! Great atmosphere and equally good food. Even being gluten free, it is better taste wise than most regular pubs. Definitely a must try if you are in the area. Their mozzarella sticks and deviled eggs are something you can’t afford to not try when in there!

We had a group of 26 for lunch yesterday at E.J. Wills Gastropub in McKinney. The food was delicious and the menu has a lot of great selections. I enjoyed my Salmon Salad and two at my table really liked their Reuben sandwich and fries. Others liked the burgers and drinks. Service by our waiter, Emily, was exceptional. We had such a great time! Parking was easy and plentiful. Highly recommend this place!!
