McCray's Tavern - East Cobb

The food was good but the service was terrible while restaurant was only half full. We tried to order cocktails and our waitress told us not to because the bartender didn’t know how to make them and we would just send them back. While I appreciate her telling us that, it’s crazy to think that they have a bartender that cannot make the drinks. After initially ordering food we never saw our waitress again. We needed refills on drinks that we never got. Had to wait forever for our food and had to ask other staff members for items like ketchup, etc. i want to like this place but the service is very frustrating.

The food and atmosphere was outstanding. The service however was severely lacking. Serabi was our server. Despite being able to see an empty glass, we had to request a refill, upon naming that request, the eye rolling was like dealing with a teenager. I'll give five stars for mediocre food with impressive service. But shitty service will kill the best of meals.

I so hate to write an awful review for McCrays, but they’ve got it coming. Time after time their service has been horrible, but today was the breaking point for me. There were three tables with parties of 6–8 each and all the rest of their tables and booths were open. 15 minutes after being seated I got up and asked who my waiter was. Someone dropped off a carafe of water and said they were shortstaffed but the waiter would be right over. 15 minutes after that the waiter still didn’t come. So I got up and told the waiter that since they didn’t have time to wait on a party of one after a thirty minute wait, I was leaving. He just said OK. The manager of this McCrays needs to be fired as does about half their wait staff. They have a wonderful concept and great food but the frustration of hit or miss service gets to be too much..

I'm sadly writing a negative review for what was one of my first and favorite restaurants when moving to East Cobb several years ago. The food and service as McCray's Tavern seems to have unfortunately taken a turn (RIP Taven Dip!). Tonight we ordered the pretzel, tavern salad, and a matador sandwich. From being seated to appetizer on the table was over 45 minutes. A couple that was sat after us received their full order before we received our drinks. The waiter "forgot" our drinks and silverware while we were waiting. The house mustard with the pretzel was either improperly mixed with vinegar or had turned and was inedible. It was so thin it wouldn't stick to the pretzel or a knife. I guess you'd drink it? My wife's salad was ordered with salmon and no tomatoes. It was first delivered with fried chicken, and once it was re delivered with the salmon, it had none of the listed vegetables except the tomatoes. My matador sandwich with fried chicken was bland as if it had been prepared with no seasoning. The manager asked us about our dining experience before our food was served. We asked about the mustard and recieved no confirmation if it had been prepared correctly only a, "ew, yeah..." from his when he saw it. He asked if we were interested in desert, which we declined after the long wait and poor food experience we had had up to this point. Our waiter was quiet and made little comment about the delays. I would say the restaurant was about half full at the time with two large tables that had been served and were paying as we were eating. There was a large party in the bar area that had a buffet setup, but they were finishing up when we arrived. I wouldn't say it was busy when we were there, but at the end of the dinner rush.

Hoping for improvement, but we will be steering clear for a while.

Great upscale sports bar with some really good food and a great beer selection. The interior is clean, comfortable, and casual - a great place to watch a game too.

# My First Time
What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! 👏 🤩

I visited on Taco 🌮 Tuesday, and let me tell you, the food was absolutely delicious! 😋😋😋

The atmosphere is perfect for families, especially with their kids' buffet featuring chicken 🐔 fingers, fries 🍟, and a variety of other tasty options. It's a great spot for friends and small groups too, with plenty of flat screens to catch all the games 📺📺📺.

Despite its size, the restaurant has an intimate vibe that makes it perfect for a romantic date night under the stars 🌙.

I truly enjoyed every moment there! At the end of our meal, Austin, the manager, personally checked in with us. His kindness and genuine happiness about our experience really stood out.

As a fun surprise, we received a golden ticket 🎟✨️😀 that we can open when we return in 2025!

I can't recommend this place enough—I'm definitely telling everyone about it!

We have been to Fathers brunch here 3 years in a row and loved it.
We decided to try the Thanksgiving buffet last night. We had reservations for 4:30. We got in and the hostess was extremely rude and seemed put out to be dealing with us.
Once seated we ordered drinks and headed to the buffet. Much of the food was out, so we got what we could and waited for items to be refilled.

Shortly after after our waitress informs us that it’s “last call” and no food items will be refilled, except dessert,
No one in our family got turkey or Ham and several other people who came at 4:30 did get turkey ham and some of the sides.
When we talked to the manager she didn’t seem to care at all or offer to refund all or a portion of the bill.
Extremely disappointing and we won’t be going back.

"Shrimp & Grits" tastes great but with only 5 small shrimp in it, I'm guessing this restaurant is on a tight budget.

Amazing bartenders! The food was fantastic and Josh and David made the experience so much better. Josh recommended a delicious margarita that was one of the best I have ever had and David kept us well fed with his menu selections! We can’t wait to come back!
