Oak & Stone to Open First Texas Location in McKinney Spring 2026

Oak & Stone, the elevated American restaurant known for bold flavors, genuine hospitality, and its self-pour tap wall experience, will make its Texas debut in McKinney in Spring 2026. The restaurant will be located at 8575 W. University Drive, Suite 150, McKinney, TX, welcoming guests for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.

Founded in Florida as part of the Artistry Restaurants family, Oak & Stone was built on a simple belief: people don’t just come to eat – they come to have an experience. The brand offers an elevated yet approachable dining experience where guests are invited to slow down and connect while enjoying housemade dishes and a robust drink program

Now expanding beyond its Florida roots with eight locations, Oak & Stone’s first Texas location in McKinney will intentionally tie into the local community through partnerships with North Texas vendors for select ingredients, as well as collaborations with local breweries and distilleries—bringing a distinctly local layer and custom items to the brand’s offerings. 

“Expanding into Texas is a natural next step for Oak & Stone. Texas has an energetic food culture that perfectly aligns with who we are – a community-driven experience centered on great food, great drinks, and hospitality. We’re excited to become part of the communities that make the state so special.” said Sam Aguilar, Brand President.

At the center of the experience is Oak & Stone’s signature self-pour Tap Wall, where guests can explore craft beverages. After checking in with a team member, guests receive a tap card that allows them to pour from approximately 50 rotating taps featuring beer, wine, bourbon, whiskey, cocktails, and an expanding selection of zero-proof options. Guests can sample small pours or enjoy full glasses, discovering new favorites with tasting notes and recommendations from knowledgeable Tap Guides who help turn curiosity into conversation.

Popular menu highlights include artisan pizzas such as the The Farmer & Pig with imported prosciutto, arugula, mozzarella, hot honey, herbed extra virgin olive oil, topped with fresh shaved pecorino romano; wings, Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, pretzel-crusted tuna sashimi, and the Voodoo Chicken Sandwich. The menu also features rotating limited-time, seasonal offerings throughout the year.

The approximately 6,000-square-foot space will accommodate seating for around 200 guests and is designed to feel warm, energetic, and lived-in—like being welcomed into a friend’s home. The space blends comfort with character to create an environment that naturally encourages conversation and community. Open, social layouts invite gathering and exploration, while layered materials and thoughtful textures lend a handcrafted, approachable feel. The result is a lively yet relaxed atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from daytime brunches to late-night hangs.

Dayparts will include lunch and dinner daily, with brunch offered on Saturdays and Sundays.
