McCray's Tavern - East Cobb

"Oh man I hate to leave this review. I have been to McCrays before and was impressed but came on a quiz night and was so disappointed, with everything. Took forever to get a drink order, then took forever for the drinks to come and another 15-20 minutes until the fella came back to take our order. I get that it is busy but if the place is packed out on quiz nights there should be more wait staff on the floor. This was embarrassing. I felt so bad for the ones that were there running among tables and trying to keep up. When the food arrived there was still no silverware on the table, unbelievable. refills were slow. Soda was out on two flavors and the Sprite was flat. When the food did arrive it was less than stellar. A few side items for half of our party were incorrect and had to be brought out again. Still no silverware. All of the food runners were nice and helpful. I get that they are all overworked on such a popular night, but maybe just staff up better on a popular quiz night. Food was so-so. Nothing I would write home about and the fish and chips I got was super sad for costing 21 bucks and when I saw the plating I wish I had just ordered onion rings. Almost everything else on the menu cost less and this was two sad fried fish slabs that reminded me of the Gorton's fisherman in the local Kroger aisle. And for 21 bucks I could have about Six boxes of the Gorton's fish fillets that these resembled. I really wanted to write a good review. The place is probably much better on non-quiz nights. Just make sure if you go, avoid Wednesdays quiz nights and you'll probably be just fine. And don't get the fish and chips. Highlight of the night was the 99 cent scoop of ice cream that my son got and that's a sad highlight. Last last note is on the men's room, it was wet in all areas and the paper towel roll was out on the wet counter. Not good for hygiene or confidence in the cleanliness for the rest of the place. I have written a novel here but it's just because I am so sad. I will probably never return again."

"We’ve had bad service every time we’ve been there. We sat at the bar for 10 minutes today before the bartender came up and asked what we had ordered, but we hadn’t ordered. He gave us waters, we drank them, and sat, and sat and waited some more. Then we just decided to leave. On our way out we expressed our dissatisfaction with the bartender to the host stand and the waitress standing there sarcastically told us to have a great day."

"I usually like the food here. We thought we’d take a chance on the Thanksgiving Buffet. We won’t be doing that again. Nothing at all stood out or made me say delicious. Just kind of a 1980’s school lunch version of Thanksgiving dinner. I was also shocked there was no pumpkin pie. With that being said I will come back and enjoy the regular menu."

"I order wings and never received them. I waited 40 minutes and and never received my food! The bartender provided great service and check multiple times and for some reason it was not a priority to the kitchen staff. What's worse is that the manager who was on duty at the time was joking around with another customer and did not check what was going on with my order. He is an example of bad leadership! I would not waste my time or money coming back to this restaurant again! If it was not for the bartender going out of his way I would have left 1 star!"

"Never a bad meal...and they spice their dishes well. Matador Burger is amazing and served with awesome coated fries or delicate onion rings (our fav)! Shrimp and Grits is a Creole-inspired meal with plenty of jalapeño heat and can be adjusted if needed. You won't be disappointed! Great bar also."
