Our History
Mike McMahan's career in the restaurant industry began during his senior year in college when he was hired at Victoria Station as a busser. He was promoted to waiter and bartender, and upon graduation was accepted into “VS’s” management program after graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington with a degree in Accounting. One year later Mike returned to take over as GM. That store soon became a training center for the company.
After leaving VS in 1980, Mike opened Wall Street Bar & Grill in Midland and in 1987 opened the Arlington Mac’s.
Today at Mac’s
Our name might sound casual, but our food and service are anything but casual. People from all walks of life love Mac’s for its welcoming and comfortable ambiance, its professionally trained and friendly staff, and its commitment to quality and consistency.
We take pleasure in supporting local charities within the community, especially working as a partner with the local schools. We participate in golf tournaments, school festivals, banquets and sporting events. One of our major events every year is the Colleyville Heritage Band Silent Auction and Dinner, where we donate dinner for 900 people. This has become one of the largest fundraisers for Heritage, and we are so glad to be able to support them in their goals.
We are extremely proud of the fact that all of the General Managers at Mac’s and the corporate staff have worked at Mac’s for over fifteen years, and most of the chefs and line cooks have worked at Mac’s since opening. We are all committed to making your next visit better than the last. Whether you are new to Mac’s or are one of our many long time regular guests, we look forward to seeing you soon.
