McCray's Tavern is a large restaurant with lots of TVs so it's a great spot to watch some games. They stop serving food at 10, I believe, and last call is at 11. I got the blueberry fizz drink, which they had on special that day for $10. It was good but sweet. Another cocktail my friend got was also sweet, but they have a variety of beers and other drinks to choose from too.

I came to McCray's for brunch on Sunday bc our normal place had a crazy wait. The good news is- absolutely no wait. We were seated right away and the weather was nice, so we were able to enjoy the outdoor patio The brunch menu is more lunch than breakfast but there were a few options. I had the breakfast sandwich with fruit (instead of potatoes) and my dining partner had eggs Benedict. I was hoping for coffee, but they only serve it with heavy cream, which I can't have, so I opted for iced tea I stead. The service was just ok. We were seated and had food, but no cutlery. We had to ask twice to get it too. I also asked for a drink refill and had to ask twice before getting it delivered.

Games on every night of the week.

I really like this spot. I really want to love it. The location is super convenient, the interior is warm & welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food selection and flavors are great. But you can't always count on the best service. This is our second time in a few months since moving here, and both times my hubby & I agree that it would be an amazing neighborhood go-to for us if we could count on consistent attention from our servers. Tonight, the young lady was professional, friendly, and helpful... at first. We had to check on our appetizer order, one of our sides was incorrect, our plates weren't cleared as we finished dishes, and then I believe she forgot about my having to pay altogether. So close!! Just a little too far from a perfect evening. But we'll be back because the food and drinks were good. Some notes: the "shareable" Tots is really only good for 1 growing boy or 2 small people, but they're delicious! The Bang-Bang Shrimp can actually be a good size meal by itself, and they're tasty. The meats in the burgers and sandwiches are very generous and cooked well. The kids meals are a perfect portion, at least for my 6-year old. And the drinks are made well. Just don't be in a rush to be someplace after eating here.

Lots of good brews here! We come here maybe once every other week for date night. It is good food at a decent price with lots of good beer choices. They have deals and specials that we enjoy. However the classic burger is a favorite!

Onion Rings- this is a side order... there were four of them

Nope... The two of us stopped in for a late lunch on the holiday Monday and found the experience very underwhelming. We were handled a clipboard with some menu items on it over three laminated pages and a front and back menu- foreshadowing the lack of quality of food we were to see. I ordered wings and rings- both were previously frozen items that were warmed and served. Fortunately, it was 1/2 price Wing Monday- (a detail that we saw on one of the clipboard notices). It brought the price from $22 for 10 all flat to $11. It wasn't anywhere near an $11 entree and I would have been even more disappointed at $22. We had this nagging feeling that it would be a predictable bad East Cobb Restaurant and it lived up to it. I just don't understand why not be good and turn an amazing profit?

We came here on a Monday night to get dinner and to our surprise they had half priced wings. We first ordered 6 as an appetizer and they were so good: crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We then decided to take advantage of the deal and order more, which took a while to come. And when they came out they weren't as crispy as the first round and it was all flats, I was a little bummed because I actually like drums. We also got club sandwich and Cuban and we were satisfied with both. I'll definitely be back and give their wings another try

Old soggy sticky lemons

The service is dreadful. The staff are not trained. They don't know how to make a drink or to garnish it ? they didn't clean the table at all. The garnish when i requested it was sticky and old. The toilets were so filthy that I took photos. Ill happily supply them. My cocktails were so badly made I was in shock when told that the bartender has experience, but then I saw him sitting and eating most of the time I was there and some female staff member behind the bar. Either-way these staff are not trained and the bar and bathrooms need a power hose. Disgusting.

I immediately was greeted by kind staff that was ready to take my order, I had an idea of what I wanted prior as they had menus outside to take a look at.

I ordered the sweet kikkoman soy stir fry and I ordered a smoothie as well. The wait was not long at all and they have a pickup area but the cashier brought it exactly to my seat, and my smoothie shortly after. Everything was beautiful and looked delicious! It tasted as delicious as it looked! Th le portions for the stir fry are huge! I couldn't finish it all but I was able to get a bag and take it with me! They also have a cute perk where every order gets you a free mini turtle. I got to pick mine out and was told if you bring 20 turtles you get a giant turtle. Super cute! This is a new favorite place and I'll he sure to come again and try something else!

The bowl options looked fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a quick but satisfying meal. We arrived around 11:45 a.m., just before the lunch rush. I ordered the barbecue chicken bowl with black rice. Overall, my bowl was pretty good. The portions were solid, the ingredients tasted fresh, and it was filling without feeling heavy. My coworkers ordered the Greek bowl and what I believe was a teriyaki style bowl. The only strong feedback we had was regarding the seasoning on the Greek bowl. I noticed the seasoning appeared to be sprinkled on top of the chicken after the bowl was assembled. I think if the chicken were tossed in the seasoning beforehand, it would create a more impactful flavor throughout. As it was, my coworker felt the bowl leaned slightly bland because the seasoning did not fully incorporate. What truly stood out to me was the customer service. I believe the owner came in while we were there, and he was incredibly pleasant and hands on. As the lunch crowd grew, it was clear he remembered returning customers and even their usual orders. That level of attentiveness makes a difference. I would definitely return to try more menu options. Next time, I may ask for extra sauce or seasoning to give the bowl a stronger flavor boost. Overall, it is a great lunch spot with solid bowl options in Sandy Springs

Comes w/ lemon vinaigrette & oregano leaves served on a bed of quinoa. LAMB SKEWERS - $19.95 My other favorite and I'm not a lamb person either. No gamey taste ... well except for the parts that were on the rare side. Herb marinated rotisserie lamb, hearts of palm, portobello, red onions w/ tzatziki. I would order this again for sure! WILD TROUT - $18.95 This was good too, served w/ tri-color quinoa and cucumber salsa. That wood-fire flavor ... yum! CHILLED WOOD FIRED BEETS - $8.95 This was good but had no wood fire taste at all - so that part was disappointing. Loved all the complementary ingredients - pistachios, mandarin oranges, goat cheese, EVOO. PORK CHOPS & WHITE BEANS - $16.95 Just ok - chops were very thin, well done (we asked for medium), and on the salty side. 48-hr brine, 10-oz chop served on creamy white beans - the beans were good! Overall we enjoyed the food - great spot if you're looking for something in Sandy Springs and the group is game for sharing food. And afterwards we walked a few blocks to The Gelatist for dessert - great stroll when the weather is nice!

We came to Nowak on a Friday night to celebrate a friend's birthday, and let me just say this place…read moreis such a hidden gem! It's tucked away in a plaza with LA Fitness and a few other businesses, so I honestly wasn't expecting a restaurant like this to be in that plaza. We had reservations for 7 PM, and they seated us right away no waiting at all! Our server, Ian, was AMAZING! Honestly, probably one of the best servers I've ever had in all my dining experiences. I mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday, and he went out of his way to find some confetti and decorate our table. He was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations. Since we love doing family-style dinners, we ordered several dishes and shared everything. First up was the Tuna Tartare- SO GOOD! The tuna was incredibly fresh, and the seasoning was bomb. The chips that came with it were perfectly crisp and paired so well with the tuna.Next was the Lobster Lebeaux, which was another big hit! The lobster was juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. We also ordered the Artichoke Hearts, which were really good. They were a little salty for my taste, but still delicious. For our entrées, we ordered three dishes and shared everything family-style. The Porterhouse Steak was absolutely delicious! It was so tender and flavorful it practically melted in your mouth. Not chewy at all! The Branzino was also delicious, and the mashed potatoes underneath were SO soft and creamy! You can definitely tell the chefs know what they're doing back there. Lastly, we had the Spaghetti. It was okay for me, but those meatballs?! Those were the real star! Honestly, I could've just ordered a plate of meatballs without the pasta. For sides, we got the corn, mushrooms, and asparagus. And OMG...the corn was the highlight of the night! I don't know what kind of butter they use, but whatever it is, THAT THANG WAS BOMB! And then came dessert...the Peanut Butter Pie! That Oreo crust with the peanut butter mousse filling was basically HEAVEN. One more thing I really loved was that the owner came out and personally spoke to every table and introduced himself. I thought that was such a nice touch and really showed how much he cares about the restaurant and his guests. Overall, we had such a great experience at Nowak! Great food, amazing service, and such a fun atmosphere. Now I really need to make my way over to his father's restaurant in Buckhead, Hal's Steakhouse!

This place will fool you. It is a great steak house with everything you expect from a great steak…read morehouse but located in a strip mall where it just looks out of place. But...steaks are great. Bartenders are in that special class of pros by themselves - know the menu, know their wine list, know their drinks - know their stuff. Of course the steaks are great and they seem to have attracted a loyal following with a mix of Sandy Springs residents and East Cobbers who have few options on their side of the river. Once you step inside, it's another world and definitely not a strip mall restaurant vibe inside. It's got a great feel and a great atmosphere. We have great steak and seafood options in Sandy Springs. This is one of the best.

This is such a great hidden gem in Sandy Springs! The first time I came was years ago and was…read morepleasantly surprised by this "pizzeria" tucked away in a Sandy Springs community. I just recently went again for the gorgeous expansion and am HOOKED! It is so much more than a pizzeria as it has an extensive menu with pastas, salads, desserts and a great wine list. A must try for anyone who is looking for a great Italian meal that is home made with both a casual and now upscale ambiance. Here is the scoop: Food: I judge all Italian pizza by the basics - if you can nail the margherita - you know what you are doing. This is the BEST margherita pizza in Atlanta - hands down. The dough, the sauce, the cheese - all high quality ingredients and baked to perfection. I love the rigatoni a la vodka for pasta. I am a pescatarian but tend to stick to vegetarian dishes at Italian restaurants. The caprese salad is wow. The pasta is perfectly al dente and the sauce is incredibly delicious (add burrata for extra creaminess). The dessert however is my to-die-for favorite thing here - the tiramisu! It is the fluffiest, just enough coffee flavor (not overpowering like most places) piece of heaven I have the pleasure of devouring every time I enjoy a meal at Sunnyside (warning it is a massive piece of tiramisu so enjoy responsibly!). It truly is the icing on cake at the end a delicious meal. Kids love the gelato and it is home made - the ingredients are thoughtfully selected and they change up the offerings all the time, keeping it interesting for both grown ups and kiddos. Ambiance: for walks in the area is super cute and trendy - essentially the part of the restaurant that existed before. It gets packed quickly so come early to secure your table. The new expansion is GORGEOUS and reserved for reservations only. This space has a stunning rose crystal light up bar that takes center stage. There are comfortable booths for larger parties. The color schemes are warm, inviting and modern making it perfect to bring the family, date night, girls night, etc. etc. Parking: free, easy parking in lot right in front. Reservations: Resy So glad to see this restaurant continue their succcess/expand and welcome even more guests to enjoy a lovely Italian meal in a beatiful ambiance.
