Rye. Craft Food and Drink.

Handcrafted American specialties with local, seasonal touches in historic environs. Throckmorton, (1866-67).

Rye opened in the fall of 2015 and is located in the former law office of Texas Governor, James W. The historical significance of the city, the downtown square, and the building where it is located have inspired Owner/Chef Jeff Qualls to create both a space and menu that is a nod to a simpler time, dedicated to locally sourced products, hand-crafted cocktails, and the forgotten spirit of hospitali

On July 4th Greg was involved in a debilitating accident affecting his hands, vision, and hearing. As a result he has been out of work and in the hospital with a lot of rehab to come.

Greg opened Rye and Apothecary and spent three years with us before departing earlier this year. He will always be a part of Rye, and our friend, and so we're hosting this fundraiser to support him. We invite you to come by this Sunday as a portion of the proceeds from the event will go to support Greg with the donations being generously triple matched by .

Thank you also to our sponsoring spirits companies and to for making this possible.

This is the last weekend for Rye this summer. We'll spend the next 10 weeks testing our newest Mexican-Caribbean concept: Aguasal. That means a new food and drink menu and a redesign of the space to bring you all the tropical vibes.

If you're looking for a staycation, we've got you covered. Help us decide what dishes and drinks should stay and preview the restaurant before the restaurant is even open. We've had a blast creating it and we're excited to bring it to you. Make a reservation to the visit the "rye-sort" online.

And don't worry, Rye will be back in the fall. We'll see you here.

New Rye

Rye is a super seasonal, creative American small plates restaurant and cocktail bar. What does that mean? It means a different way to dine. It means locally sourced, constantly rotating menu items. It means trying a variety of hand crafted food instead of eating one $40 entree. It means being together with friends, and meeting new ones in an intimate dining room full of energy and intrigue for what’s new.

Our team came from across the US to make McKinney our home and to have a place for the type of food we love to make. Approachable, seasonal cuisine that is elevated beyond through the introduction of the uncommon. We want to blend forgotten old school hospitality with new dishes and pairings that look toward the future. We wanted to build a restaurant that evolved with us, and with our guests. Rye is a little different, but we like it that way. It is our dream and our passion; we can’t wait to share it with you.
