Working down in the beautiful historic district of McKinney comes with many advantages. One being the number of ADORABLE, UNIQUE places to dine out when lunch hour hits! Move over chain stores, the restaurants on the Square can't be beat!
One place that stands out this week is Poppy's Garden Cafe. The day I went just happened to be a beautiful 60 degree sunny day - yes, in February if you can believe that! I joined my business partner-in-crime and friend for one of the best lunches.
The staff was friendly. The food was incredible. But I think what makes Poppy's stand out is the serene outdoor setting. Even for lunch the environment couldn't be beat! There are bubbling fountains, greenery, covered porch seating & open air sunny dining, outdoor heaters are provided when the air is too chilly and there is an outdoor bar and performing area for weekend evenings. I simply MUST come back with my honey for a romantic evening. Live music is played Friday and Saturday evenings.
The menu offered fresh salads, pasta and comfort foods. We enjoyed a Poppy's Trio (Brie BLT, Potato Soup and house salad for only $9.99), Cobb Salad and Chicken & Artichoke Cannelloni.
I highly recommend Poppy's for a special lunch or dinner treat! They are located south of the square at 107 S. Church Street.
