Had such a great time this evening at Tinman Social!
Dewayne was an excellent greeter (our reason for five star service), and talked us through the entire venue. Although this place is newly reopened, I think it addresses a major hole in the little elm night life. Tons and tons of potential here, especially if they can manage a good live music roster.
Arcade is small, but enough to entertain the kids for a while. Cornhole outside was a welcome addition, although—oh my gosh they’re way too far apart.
Initial service was a bit slow for an empty night, but the entire staff was extremely kind and worked diligently to get things back on track. Just getting the kinks out!
Pricing was more than reasonable, and the actual food was even better considering the portions. Not a complaint was had. Pretty good bar selection too! Highly recommend the Frenchie if you like Hendricks.
The fact that you can get food and drinks anywhere is a HUGE plus. Great vibes and it won’t be long before we go back!

We had a great experience thanks to our server, Jedi! He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Jedi had excellent menu knowledge and gave thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot on. He is a hard worker and cares about his tables.
My only recommendation is on the Frenchie. It should be in a martini class and ditch the simple syrup. Otherwise totally delicious! The Carla-tini is on point! Good job guys!

Tay was an awesome server. She knew the menu well and answered all of our questions. The atmosphere was great. Everyone was friendly and attended to us. The food could use some improving. We ordered the hot loaded fries which were very good but the pizza we ordered tasted like frozen school pizza. It didn’t taste fresh at all. Other than that we had a great time and will definitely be back.
