    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.

    Great service and food! Wow! I was highly impressed! For a tavern my expectations weren't too high. However, this restaurant was nicely decorated, clean, and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful! I tried the Santa Fe impossible burger and absolutely delish! They do charge a 1$ fee for the burger change to impossible (kinda of a pet peeve but okay). The burger had pepper jack, pico, fried jalapenos avocado, and chipotle aioli- super yummy! The fries were nice and crispy too! They have a robust drink menu- I tried the Blake's cider triple jam and it was great! Lots of free parking available as it's in a shopping complex!

Red flags were screaming at this point! So we proceed to order lunch and she explains why we couldn't because lunch time was over. My wife and I explained that no we walked in well within the remaining minutes of lunch, and that there were a few lunch items only offered during lunchtime that we wanted to take advantage of. Remember, if she would've come to greet us right away instead of being on her phone there would not have been an issue. Plus there was literally no one seated outside except for us! No excuse for this type of service. Plus I'm shocked that management didn't accommodate a first timer to your establishment being it was the server's fault. Amazing how these kind of restaurants forget there are soooooo many great options in this city! No one is going to put up with this type of nonsense. Funny how they forget who's the paying customer, and get arrogant instead of being flexible within reason to a great customer experience. Wasn't asking for anything extra just to honor walking in during lunch time to order lunch! If that's too much to ask then hello and goodbye and that's why we got up and left! This place won't be around long! Ridiculous! Word of mouth is everything in the restaurant business Kid Cashew!

If you're unfamiliar, like I was, this is a Chipotle-style, make-your salad place. There isn't very much signage as you walk in, but the bar makes everything orderly and easy to see and order. Plenty of good proteins, bases, and veggies to choose from. I walked in as the doors were opening, and I got a welcoming greeting when I reached the counter. The "regular" size is HUGE and was more like 2 servings. I added the baked salmon to my mixed greens bowl, and it was very filling for my lunch over 2 days. That makes the price of the bowl totally worth it. All of it delicious! They had a pan of fresh-baked cookies out, and I had to get one. I thought they'd be crispy but ended up being on the soft side. They are huge though. Still tasty! I'll be back, often.

It's free parking in Sandy Springs because it's in a shopping center so you don't have to worry about paying for parking. The menu itself is very small so you're not going to have a lot of things on there to choose from but what you do pick is probably gonna be really good though. The menu is usually only one page. Now if you flip it over the wine list is extensive or decently extensive considering the fact that it's not a winery but you have a massive amount of options . Last time I was there I sat at the bar and Rob was super cool and really gave great customer service. No complaints about that . Brooklyn favorite Reuben - the Reuben was a really good sandwich. It came hot with melted cheese on there and sauerkraut and it was a hit. It came with fries but you can actually get a different side if you want. The Reuben sandwich was very good and very filling. It wasn't overly stacked like I'm used to back where I'm from but at the same time they definitely put a nice amount of meat on there so you won't be hungry after you finish. Avocado egg rolls - I tried the avocado egg rolls and they were okay but it's not my cup of tea. Personally I don't actually like avocado and it was pretty much 90% avocado inside there. At the same time it wasn't bad. If you like avocados then this is really gonna be your bag. It comes with a really sweet, maybe a teriyaki kind of sauce, but it's actually good and it helped. I'm just not a fan of that so I can't take that away from them. Lobster bisque - the Lobster Bites were okay. It tasted just like it was supposed to. It was still very lobstery and creamy so I have to give them that. It was pretty good. I only had a little bit but at the same time I thought it was good for what it was. Overall I really really enjoyed this spot. The customer service was really good and the food was solid

Uber Eats has gotten sooo much better about refunding for little things like that, so it hasn't been an issue. They do charge by add-on if it's a premium item so you just need to pay attention if you didn't order it in person. I do understand they could be busy and just miss an item or two or ran out of certain ingredients also.
