Had not eaten here in a couple of years. Stopped in with family and was very good. The staff was pleasant and we had an enjoyable meal.

My server was Marili, and let me tell you, the service was almost as unmatched as the price for a 4 course meal. Steak cooked as asked, crab fresh and quite the variety from the appetizer. Highly recommend the rusty bag pipe to wrap it all up.

Beer wasn't very cold and a bit flat. Ordered seafood Alfredo, and it lacked in flavor, seemingly watered down to where there wasn't the creamy Alfredo stated on the menu. Yuk!

Food poisoning for an extortionate price. Not coming back anytime soon, this wasn't the first time either.

Lacey Winter

I love this place! They always have the best seafood and great service, I drove all the way from Eugene because I love and miss this restaurant so much! The oyster shooters are my favorite and they are always fresh and delicious!

The food, as always, was flavorful. Good serving sizes. Great service.

Me and my family have been regularly going to McGraths for over 25 years specifically the Salem location due to the legendary consistency and pricing staying the same for decades. For some unintelligent reason they decided to remove the best dish on the menu the Greco Chicken Penne Pasta with balsamic glaze and raise all their prices 33-40%. We just drove over an hour one way to get there for that specific dish as we love to make a day outing for that very reason and I’m floored that whomever has taken over this legendary restaurant has made such an effort to ruin it. The food does not taste very good anymore and absolutely this is not worth a $25-30 a plate meal. It never has but the closest exception is that specific meal. Until it’s brought back we will no longer come back to you and it’s been 25-30 years of loyalty that you just broke. Think about that. Massively disappointing

They are clueless. Don't bother spending time or money on them.

Update: company contacted me about my order quality issues and told me to contact DoorDash for a full refund since it wasn’t up to the company standards. My refund has been proceeded. The McGraths company has excellent customer service.

Order online through DoorDash and I will never eat here again. Of course it’s no required but recommended to have the poop veins of the shrimp cleaned out before serving them and they definitely do not! I ordered the Crab & Shrimp Pasta which was lack lust in flavor and I could feel the dirt in the seafood when I was eating it. But I immediately stopped eating everything when I found this shrimp with a giant poop vein still in it.

It was a quiet Tuesday evening. There were five of us, but one was running quite late because he just woke from a nap and was groggy. The waitress was nice and friendly and took our order of appetizers and drinks. She was new, so didn't know what drink special was posted at the front, so when I forgot what I read, we all just kept guessing until it was decided what I would drink. A Cucumber Watermelon Mojito. It was refreshing, but had a strong watermelon flavor. We all talked and joked and laughed and shared memes from our phones until the the napping late friend arrived. We then chatted for a bit and poked fun at him for wearing a Bluetooth earpiece instead of earbuds like someone from this decade. That was when the waitress came to take our order.

We all ordered different things. One ordered the oyster shooters and some shrimp dish, one ordered some variety shrimp plate thing, another ordered Mac and cheese, I ordered a medium-rare steak with sides of asparagus and Mac and cheese and I don't remember what the last person ordered as I had already put in my order and didn't pay attention.

The food eventually came and my steak was a little more medium than medium-rare, but not too much, I got a large scoop of Mac and cheese, and 7 of the saddest asparaguses? asparagi? That I had ever seen. They were well overcooked in butter, I assume, but had little to no seasoning. They were very skinny and short and floppy and there were only 7 of them. Maybe just because I don't normally order asparagus when I'm out, I usually have them at home when I cook them (wonderfully, I might add), but they were underwhelming yo say the least. It was kind of like when someone offered you skittles and you get excited and they give you one... and it's yellow...

Asparagus aside, the steak was seasoned very well and was delicious as was the Mac and cheese. (I'm not sure why my phone keeps putting Mac in caps, but it is what it is, sometimes you have to go with your phones flow). I thoroughly enjoyed the steak and Mac and cheese and my friends, if you could call them that (I would but you can call them what you want) enjoyed their meals too. No one else had complaints except about my asparagus which they agreed were sadsparaguses.

The night went on with us enjoying food and drink and eachothers company and good vibes. Overall I'd say 8/10 experience, maybe a 16/20 or a 32/40. Just depends on your rating scale.

Thank you for coming to my Google review. Have a blessed day
