    Maccray's Tavern in East Cobb has become our go-to spot for weeknight date nights while our daughter is at class. With busy schedules, it feels rare to carve out time just to sit down together, and this place gives us that chance to relax over a meal. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it easy to unwind after a long day. The tap room itself isn't always the most impressive, but every so often there are new beers that surprise us. My wife and I are big fans of NEPA microbrews, so we always keep an eye out for those additions. We've also had great success with a number of their burgers and enjoy trying the weekly specials, which keep things fresh. The chopped salad is another favorite--simple, satisfying, and a perfect complement to the heavier dishes. One thing I really appreciate is their points program--we recently traded in points for dessert, and the churros were excellent. It's a nice perk that makes the experience feel even more rewarding. It's not about flash--it's about having a comfortable place where we can enjoy each other's company, share good food, and occasionally discover a new brew. For us, Maccray's Tavern has become a small but meaningful tradition during the week.

    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

    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.

    Showed up on a Saturday afternoon for a brunch date and the place was packed. That's usually both a…read morered and green (brown? lol) flag for me, but the space is huge - indoor and outdoor seating - so putting our names down only resulted in a 20 minute wait. Entirely manageable. Started off with the Tropic Like It's Hot mocktail (pineapple, orange juice, coconut water cream). Pretty tasty, crisp, and refreshing. Then came the cornbread muffins with the "liquid gold" spun honey. Unbelievable. Hot, crumbly, and easily the best thing on the table. Whoever is running the pastry program in the back understands pure physics. I could've eaten a dozen of those alone. For the entree, I got the Spiced Maple Chicken & Grits - fried chicken tossed in maple hot sauce, grits, two eggs, benton's bacon, and scallions - along with a side biscuit and jam. Complete hit. The chicken had a great crunch, the heat-to-sweet ratio was locked in, and the grits were smooth. Biscuit was flaky and proper, too. Bottom line: Buttermilk Kitchen executes at a high level even when swamped. Just don't skip the cornbread. I'll definitely be back.

They have a mini lot in the front and two in the back but space is limited. We had the biscuit trio and they were good. They get cold fast though. It comes with 3 jams and butters for you to try. The French toast was good but idk how fresh the bread was bc the crusts were hard- especially after cooking. It was actually kind of disappointing bc I had a much higher expectation for the texture and flavor. There's nothing special about it. My friend loved her grits, eggs and bacon dish. Service was good and timely. Overall, I'd go back and try something different but would definitely get the biscuits again.

It was my first time spending a weekend in Roswell, and wanted to grab lunch/brunch on a Sunday before making the four-hour drive back home. Gracious Plenty was recommended to me by Yelp and was close to where I was staying, so it fit the bill. When I pulled up, I was really charmed by the old house and the cozy, local feel of the spot, but I was worried about whether I'd actually be able to get a table! People were spilling all over the lawn, seemingly waiting for a table in what is ultimately a relatively small spot. I found parking in the dedicated lot behind the building. Be careful here: they clearly label which spots are for Gracious Plenty and which are for one of their neighbors, and you could be towed for parking in the wrong place. When I arrived at the host stand, they luckily had one lone seat that had just opened up at the bar and were able to seat me immediately, which was a huge win! The menu is ideal for traditional breakfast/brunch lovers. I wanted to try a little bit of many things, so I went with the build-your-own bowl plus a couple of sides. In my bowl I had scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, pimento cheese, sautéed kale and mushrooms, and a side of the jalapeño ranch. I also got a standard biscuit with butter and jam, an iced coffee, and the almond cake to go. It was absolutely too much food, but I have zero regrets about getting to try everything and having some leftovers to nosh on during my drive home. The iced coffee was really strong and shockingly good, even though it was just regular coffee. Waffle House wishes it could make a hashbrown cake this perfectly crispy without being overly oily. The kale and mushrooms were perfectly cooked, and alongside the jalapeño ranch, they brought a lot of flavor to the bowl. I probably could have done without the pimento cheese, which came melted on top of the hashbrowns and got a little lost in the mix, but that's a small gripe about an otherwise outstanding meal. The biscuit was truly one of the best biscuits I've ever had, came with a delicious homemade jam, and really made this a five-star brunch for me. I ended up eating the almond cake the next day, and it was still perfectly moist, crumbly, and delicious even a day old. This place is charming and delicious, and the service was so friendly and attentive. Even though they were really busy, I was in and out and on the road within an hour, which I just really appreciated. A must if looking for a tasty brunch in Roswell, even if you have to wait for a table.

I don't know if the flavor was coming from the jalepeno cream cheese, the French toast bagel or combination of both but I highly recommend this combo.
