If the line wrapped around the building doesn't clue you in, you'll know you've arrived at Cattleack Barbeque when the heady scent of wood smoke drifts along in the breeze. Owner and pitmaster Andrew Castelan highlights the classics, using oak and hickory wood for his barbecued meats, which change daily. Brisket and pork ribs are must-orders, but the specials, like a pork steak or wagyu pastrami brisket, are a close second.

Harvest at the Masonic in McKinney holds a 4.3/5 rating. Food quality is a highlight, with praise for the blackened bass and chef's specials, though some diners criticized undercooked sides, salty soups, and incorrect steak cuts. Service is mixed; while staff are often knowledgeable and friendly, complaints cite erratic pacing—either serving food too quickly or delays exceeding 45 minutes. The three-story venue features live music on the upper floors, creating a cozy atmosphere that some find too loud for conversation. Value perceptions vary due to inconsistent portion sizes and pricing concerns. Reservations are essential, especially on weekends.

Suitable for diners seeking live music and American cuisine who can tolerate service variability; reservations are essential.
