When Holly and Todd Kerr’s children were young, their go-to family restaurant was a Chili’s Too on Belt Line Road near their home in Coppell. When it closed, Holly told Todd it might be time for them to open their own restaurant. At least then they’d know there was a great place to eat where the whole family would feel comfortable.
Now in its 12th year, J. Macklin’s Grill and Bar is still thriving in its strip center spot where that Chili’s Too used to be. In 2020, the restaurant was named best small business by the Coppell Chamber of Commerce Member s Choice Awards.
