Best American Restaurants in The Colony

The food is truly the star here! Had the truffle fries and sushi for appetizers and both were so delicious! I had the Chicken Penne alla vodka and my wife the braised rib and they were both so delicious and full of flavor. Value is AMAZING for the quality of the food. The inside is beautiful and ambiance was comfortable and relaxing. Although this is not an insult by any means this restaurant is not an expensive steakhouse so don't expect that type of ambiance (low lights, formal attire severs, $100 steaks lol) here. Perfect date night, we will be going back often!

Food would have received 5 stars but one steak came out undercooked. Other than that minor thing, the food and service was excellent. Don’t love the dining room compared to some other area steakhouses, but it was fine. It was bustling due to it being Valentine’s Day… I liked how they had a holiday pre-set menu but also allowed you to order off of the regular dinner menu. Great wine selection and the pre-dinner martini was perfect. Loved our waiter and the manager came over to check on us.

We went to Thirsty Lion on Valentine’s Day, which was yesterday. We had the Valentine’s Day specials. The shrimp was amazing and my salmon was so good. There was a pairing of wine, white or red with our meals. I believe Ashton was our server. She is actually going to school and working two days a week and was very nice. We enjoyed visiting with her! We made a reservation for 3 o’clock since we were on our way and were afraid that we would not get in for their special! We love this location in The Colony, highly recommend! Just remember that they do not have happy hour on holidays!

From start to finish all was excellent. We arrive a bit early for our 5:30 reservation and were seated right away. The menu was very good for my wife and I. Perry's has a special selection for those over 65. $39 per person with a good selection of the three courses. Their bread was warm and tasty. The Lobster Bisque was exceptionally good. The cup was more than enough with a nice chunk of Lobster in it. The filet for my wife was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. The steak came on a hot plate. My Fried shrimp was excellent on top of a large mound of French fries. The three sauces that were served with the fries added to the flavors. We added on the Asparagus as an additional side. Deserts were Creme Brule and Cheesecake. My wife opted for a glass of Perry's house Rose - perfect match for her steak. The restaurant was nicely laid out. The wine racks were over 10 feet high and contained many bottles of their finest wines. We were served by Katlyn. A beautiful young lady that was very attentive to our needs. Thank you Perry's for a wonderful pre Valentines dinner. Worth it - YES. We'll be back. Tom

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Haywire Plano. We came on a Tuesday and was surprised to how busy it was, but that was no concern as we had reservations in place and we're seated pretty swiftly. For our starter we had the mini Elk tacos which were pretty good. For the main course I ordered the 18oz Angus Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye with a side of the White cheddar havarti mac&cheese and Tallow fries. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. My wife ordered the Texas farm raised red fish which came with jumbo lump crab&rock shrimp, spicy lemon zydeco sauce, whipped potatoes and a frisée citrus salad. Per my wife it was an amazing meal. When we go back I'll be trying the 33oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye.
