J Macklins Grill

Jakes ⁵⁰⁄₅₀! Slow roasted pulled pork, smoked bacon, mushrooms, caramelized onions, Havarti, and Sriracha mayo. Wow! Awesome flavor, tender and great bread. Awesome!

I end up wanting more. This is really more of a lunch place for me — the Cobb salad is great.

Dined here for the first time today for lunch with a group of coworkers. The staff was very friendly. I had the turkey burger and it was just ok. I also ordered the tomatoes basil soup and it was terrible, no flavor at all. My overall experience was just ok.

Food always great and without a long wait given the crowd. Best non-​chain option in Coppell for lunch in my opinion.
Mahi Mahi Tacos are really good.

Still a favorite. Consistently great service and food. They serve local breweries which is always a plus.

Food is always great here. The chicken tenders are out of this world. I also enjoyed the braised short ribs — tasted like Moms home cookin! The only thing I don’t like about this place is the atmosphere. Holy kids. It’s unfortunate because it’s one of the better restaurants in the area, but you can’t enjoy a meal here without a screaming 5 year old. Welcome to Coppell. I’d come more often if they had a larger bar area.

Soups are incredible, best I’ve had. I’ve had the smoked brisket sandwich, the Cuban, the burgers, everything is fresh and incredibly flavorful. The service is always on point but Brandi is far and away the best. When she recommends something you can count on it being great. She also knows how to take care of her customers and make your meal very enjoyable. With her service and the food, you can’t go wrong.
New menu is fantastic. Blackened fish is outstanding. I was lucky enough to find Brandi again and she did not disappoint. Cont recommend the restaurant or Brandi enough.

Upscale atmosphere and good food. Would recommend for lunch with coworkers. I got the grilled cheese and it was top notch!

I’ve eaten here numerous times because I work in the area. It’s consistently tasty with good service, at a good price. I’m obsessed with the Spinach & Goat Salad, and most of the appetizer are super delicious.

This was our 3^rd time here and it was excellent! Both food and service were awesome. Alcoholic drinks were okay but not great. However, food came out quickly and service was top notch. I will be back!

We came here for a celebration brunch and it was just fantastic! The food was really good and you could either order off the brunch menu or lunch, so there were lots of options!
I had the waffles with eggs and bacon and other people in our party had chicken and waffles, omelets, burgers or shrimp and grits. Everyone loved their food. Food was cooked to order and had gluten free options!
We will come back again whenever we are in town again! Also the service was awesome, we had a table of about 20 and were in and out in about an hour and a half! We were not rushed or waiting long for our food!
Loved this place and experience, a must go to place to eat!

Came here with my grandparents for lunch and they had many great options! Ordered an ahi tuna sandwich and the greek salad to share. Felt very comforted and satisfied with that. My only complaint is that the wait staff seemed confused and didn’t know what we had ordered and not all the food came out at the same time. My only complaint. Also seated immediately on a Monday at 1230p. :) Will definitely return.

We have been here at least 5 times with this time being the most lackluster. That’s okay, though, you can’t always be on point.
Their chicken and waffles is absolutely amazing and will blow your mind. Today though, I had the chicken fried steak just to switch it up. Very large portion. It was very flavorful and the meat was probably the most tender I have ever experienced in Texas. And I’ve been to my fair share of «Best Chicken Fried Steak in Texas» places. I wouldn’t rank it up there, but it won’t disappoint either.
The spicy Bloody Mary is great and will definitely wake you up with a very interesting twist to it. I’ve had it multiple times and it is consistent and flavorful. Lots of depth and a variety of favors going on for sure.
Girlfriend usually goes with some kind of mule they have (blackberry?) and she is never disappointed, either.
The waitress this time was very friendly but I experienced my water not being refilled this time around, which was strange. The girlfriend said that her dish had a burnt bun on it too. So, while not a deal breaker it was definitely our worst experience here.
Being able to go somewhere and have a consistently good experience means a lot. In the past we have always gotten this from here. Let’s hope this visit was an anomaly.
We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

The atmosphere, the food and the staff all ROCK! Keep doin what yer doin cause it’s always perfection!!! And the drinks… Oh yeah!

meh.
so let me start by saying I work in the area, one of my coworkers received a free lunch for her and some friends from the owner so she took me along since I’d never been! I’ve heard really good things about J Macklins, the food and happy hour specials (which for the record i didn’t indulge in on my lunch break) so I was relatively excited.
however, I feel like we made the mistake of telling our server that our meal would be free before ordering because she was not very attentive, personable, or really even pleasant for that matter. she took our orders and brought out our food. (which was really good) and that was about it. so needless to say I was less than impressed by the service.
the food however was tasty. I ordered the J’s greens salad and added salmon. very good! so luckily I didn’t have to spend any money, aside for my tip for the lackluster server, so I’m not too disappointed. I can’t promise that I feel the need to go back though.

The brunch food is delicious! Especially the jalapeño cheese grits! The bottomless mimosas are a great deal and the overall ambience is very family friendly and inviting! Nathan makes delicious bloody Mary’s that can be nice and spicy or according to your taste! I’m there quite often on Saturday and Sunday! Check them out!

The wife and I took a Sunday brunch trip to to J. Mac’s this past weekend. She loves it when I say ‘brunch.” Our first trip here and I was very impressed. We walked in and found a table in the bar, no problem. The view out was great and the televisions were posted well to cover the PGA Championship from all angles. Service was prompt and polite. The menu offered plenty of fancy and normal guy meals. Drinks options weren’t an issue either.
When we got out food, it was hot and fresh. My wife and I both received large portions that tasted great. The word of the day, savory.
We checked out quick and had plenty left for a good tip. The wife picked a good one. That’s two in a row.

Great brunch, country potatoes are sinfully good and the cheese grits are the best we have ever had.
Plus they make a mean spicy Bloody Mary.

Thank you Exec Chef Scott! Brunch was amazing. This will forever be me and my loves weekend brunch spot. Oh and ask for Maygen as your server she’s beyond amazing. Coppell’s finest since 2010.

Awesome place! Great food and drinks. Peticolas Beer here, the beer selection here is one of the best!
