Usually love this place. Been going here for years. But service tonight was slow, and when I told the server the Scottish eggs (special—don’t order) were bland and not good at all, he nodded and went on his way. At least ask if we want to try something else or send a manager! Lesson learned. Sit at the bar if there’s a new server and don’t order specials.

McCray's Tavern is a good place to eat and socialize. Good food with good company. Surprisingly inexpensive! Little diamond in the ruff.
Best neighborhood bar. Please bring back the pimento cheese and Peevy is the best!

Came in after work and the drinks were great, very friendly bartender.Came back in the same night for trivia for dinner, and the food was horrible. Fries were soggy, frozen fries and smoked wings tasted like liquid smoke. Not sure they actually smoked them.

I took a long time friend to this restaurant and had a wonderful experience all around. Dom, from Virginia, was our server and he was very attentive and helpful. The food came quickly and was hot and quite flavorful. For a three course meal for two people, the price was absolutely right at $35/person (no alcohol)! The DJ and dance floor in the back were a bonus discovery, for sure, on a Saturday night. We will be back!
Super friendly atmosphere especially from the bartender out in the open door section!

Food at McCray's is always good and in line with higher end pub quality. Unfortunately, our waitress was absolutely horrific. When asked about menu items, she had no clue. Showed up only when we arrived, took our order, brought me the wrong appetizer, the wrong soup, never saw her again until the end of the meal. Had to rely on other servers to ask for another drink, or anything else we may have needed. Not a great experience.

Onion rings are great.Had chicken pot pie, and it was delicious.
They HAVE to do better! Have been coming here for 12 years as this place is in our backyard. We soooo long for a village tavern. We have seen the portions decreasing steadily in direct correlation with the increase of prices. We quit going for a couple of years due to this. When I ordered that $19.00 salad with no lettuce was pretty ridiculous. After Covid, we tried it again and it was great. Things seemed to have shifted and it’s been back on our weekly rotation. We were gone for the holidays and came back in tonight- I am now DONE- again. My husband wasn’t feeling great and thought gumbo sounded good- so we came in. His $10.00 “bowl” of gumbo could not have possibly been more than a 1 cup measurement. Shouldn’t a cup be a taste and a bowl be a meal? My chicken picatta sauce tasted like vinegar and mayonnaise. I ate my chicken but couldn’t eat the pasta. I had to wait for my meal almost 10 minutes after my husband’s. Server offered to bring me something else but was I going to wait another 15 minutes? For what? What is the solution? I am so done! Once again. . But guess what McCray’s? You got that extra 75 cents for the extra parm for the pasta I couldn’t eat didn’t ya?

Stopped in on a random for a quick bite and had a great server named Imani! She was very quick & engaging, friendly and made sure to always check in and made sure we didn’t need anything. I will say that I was surprised to have to pay for standard sauces and that there was an auto gratuity fee since or party was small, as well as having to pay a 3.5% fee just to use a debit card which is illegal! They don’t even have the decency to let patrons know upon entering it’s in small fine print! I would come back, but just for our server! She’s the reason for the 5 stars

Food and service here is good. Love the Brussel sprouts and I can pretend I’m eating vegetables. They need to lose the table top ads especially now they are propped where they shine in the face. Tacky.
