    Great spot for any occasion. Dinner crowd was fun and lively with great service. Walnut old fashioned was a standout. Brunch food was also solid. Breakfast potatoes were crispy and cooked to perfection. Hollandaise was also super flavorful was complimented by a perfect poached egg

    Bar and waiting for my food lol

    Always fantastic staff, great vibe and delicious food. Never disappoints! Either want a quick drink or watch the game or just sit and relax - this is the place near me!

    Went for brunch and the experience was okay. They were able to accommodate our large party last minute, which was a plus. However, the service was quite slow. We knew brunch would be ending soon so we quickly figured out what we wanted to eat but the waitress took quite a while to come back and take our food orders after getting our drinks. After we had been waiting a while, she told us we only had a couple of minutes to order before the menu changed, though we had been ready to order and waiting on her. The drinks were not that good, most of us only ordered one drink because we did not enjoy them (and we all ordered different drinks). The food was average, not bad at all but nothing spectacular. Typical pub food. It's a decent place for a last minute brunch.

    What a great neighborhood pub! Stayed right around the corner for a work trip, and were pretty tired -- so rather than grab a Lyft to explore a different neighborhood, we walked over to McCray's. We enjoyed it so much, we returned the next evening! I had the chicken wings, which were messy but good! One of my friends had the pasta bolognese (I know, at a pub??) and she raved about it. I also got a side of sweet potato fries, which were the sweetest sweet fries I think I've ever had. The second time we went, we brought someone else with us. One of us had the carnivore flatbread, and loved it. The other had the smoked turkey club, and also loved hers. I had a chicken salad sandwich. Fresh, relatively light for pub food (which is what I wanted). Everyone was happy -- and two of us had leftovers to take back to the hotel for later snackies! We also had two awesome servers (the first of whom remembered us the second time we went). Really appreciated their input and ideas on the menu, too!

    Looking for a place to eat after arriving in midtown we found McCray's. We sat at the bar and ordered some IPA's. There were at least three to choose from, which is nice. Ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken and a burger. Both sandwiches were really tasty. The star was the onion rings, though. These are the best prepared onion rings I've ever had. I order them, if available, everywhere I go. Usually when you get a large onion ring they're either soggy or bready. These were absolutely perfectly crisp with a well done onion in the middle. The burger and chicken were both really good and service was pretty quick. We went back at night to watch Thursday night football and they turned the tvs and volume on, which we greatly appreciated as our team from home was playing. We moved from the bar to the upper seating area and ordered the smash burger, which is the special on Thursday night-$10 bucks!! We both enjoyed it, with onion rings, again. Amber, our server was efficient and super friendly.

    Looking for a late night bite or a drink? This is the spot. We walked down about half a mile to this place from Center Stage. Outdoor seating was available under Cafe lights as we walked in. Couples were enjoying drinks and conversation, a great 1st impression. Upon entry we were met with a hostess and seated immediately. Great because it was after 11pm and we were hungry. Great atmosphere and despite there being an almost full bar and many seated the noise level was nice. Lightning not too dark or too harsh and the menu was surprisingly diverse. We ordered lemon pepper wings, hot sauce on the side. The special of chicken noodle miso soup and the big ass pretzel. Man let me tell you they were all so good. Our server was so nice and made great suggestions including letting me know i could toss my wings in hot and lemon pepper but I didn't. She was quick and pleasant. The pretzel was soft, fresh, not greasy or too buttery and the mustard was a nice kicking whole grain. The cheese was white question and could have been better but still great. I loved watching the NFL stats and seeing games on the tvs as well. The star of the show is the wings, crispy, meaty, perfectly seasoned oh my gosh. So good!

    We went for bottomless brunch on a weekend. We came with a reservation at 12:15 and we were seated immediately. Food was hot and delicious and came out in less than 20 minutes. The service was absolutely wonderful and truly did make sure we didn't get to the bottom of our mimosas.

    Here for the weekend for a wedding, but it is also the sugar bowl so McCray's was very busy. I went there three times and it was packed full of football fans. It is a nice atmosphere, exactly what you're looking for if you're gonna watch a game and good food. I must say that I experienced great service for the amount of people that were in town for the sugar bowl. they were definitely on their game for the big weekend. Service was wonderful. The food was great. I had a Philly cheesesteak the first time very good sandwich not the greatest but very good day two for lunch I had the buffalo chicken Panini that has bacon in it. That was a surprise it was very good. I had the gumbo twice, which is excellent. One morning I had the breakfast burrito there and that was pretty damn good as well. I would say it was kind of like breakfast nachos with the cheese drizzled on top. all in all wonderful experience here the service was probably the best. great bar nice atmosphere good food.

    We went to "McCray's Tavern Midtown" to have a good time. What did that entail? Well karaoke, of course! The restaurant is deceptively big. From the outside it doesn't look like much. But inside it's a multi level behemoth. At the bar the bartender was great! She was on top of everything and everyone. She was friendly as well. They advised singing at 8pm so that's what we waited for. By 8:45pm however, DJ Sugar was ready to go. By 9:15pm no one but sugar sang. So my brother decided to go up. Once he broke the ice, people poured in to sing. Funny enough we met about five people there, all from New York! So of course we had to sing some New York, New York. It was a late night, but fun. If you need something to do in Atlanta on a Friday night, my suggestion is go see DJ Sugar from some singing. But be warned, Sugar is know to randomly join in with you.

    We went to this tavern specifically to watch the Georgia football game tonight. The bar was not showing the GA game. When we (and other customers) asked the server to turn the station so we can hear the game we were told that they couldn't cause they can ONLY play the South Carolina game. We then asked to speak with the manager cause why are we in the middle of Atlanta and can't watch the GEORGIA BULLDOGS Saturday night game. This man.... the manager says that "The VP is a S Carolina fan and that they can ONLY show & play the S Carolina games when they play. That was law". We as well as several other customers were PISSED to say the least. We passed several bars along W Peachtree to come to this bar and couldn't even watch and enjoy the game. We left and I will NEVER patronize this restaurant or any of the other locations again.

    We arrived in Atlanta later than normal at around 9pm & we wanted a quick bite to eat. Husband & I both ordered burgers & fries - kept it simple. Food was okay , not bad but nothing spectacular.

    Servers and managers were handling dogs while handling food. This is a very unsanitary practice.

    My favorite tavern in metro Atlanta! Parking is easy and plentiful. I've gone here in person plenty…read moreof times as well as had it delivered through ubereats, and it is one of the most consistent restaurants I've ever come across. I've never had a bad experience here in person, the servers are friendly and prompt. I'll be honest and say I'm only ever here for lunch, so I don't know what the dinner rush is like. The lunch atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxed, with some sports excitement if a prime game is being played. The beer & cider list is rotating and extensive, they even usually have several varieties of mead available, which is pretty cool. The food is well-executed bar food that comes out nice and hot. The chicken tenders are some of the best I've ever had- the batter isn't too heavy, it's flavorful, has all the crunchy nooks and crannies you could want, and comes with their delicious house-made honey mustard. The fries are good but I always get the onion straws for my side, I'm a sucker for onion straws and these are perfectly breaded without being greasy. The mozzarella sticks are massive, a little tricky to maneuver but so worth it since they're made in house and not just your typical frozen bag kind. Another app I really enjoy is the mini corn dogs that also come with the yummy honey mustard. On my last visit I tried the jalapeño bacon cheese bites which were tasty. Salty, which is to be expected, with a combo of both cheddar and cream cheese that made for a nice gooey center. Not exactly a destination restaurant, but if you want simple and delicious they got it!

    I have eaten at Laseters a few times and it was pretty good. Tonight I got delivery, all items I…read morehaven't had before, and I have never had food so awful. Eggrolls - disgusting, and I mean absolutely awful, even the sauce is terrible. Ribeye - only seasoned with black pepper, extremely heavy char on the outside, not cooked thoroughly or evenly on the inside, terrible taste overall. Steamed broccoli - maybe flashed steamed at best, and it tasted like dirt. Fries - were ok. Mashed potatoes and gravy - were pretty good. Chopped salad - good but extremely light on the toppings, it's mostly just lettuce. Other than the salad and the potatoes, everything got thrown away. Complete waste of money. I can't say I'll even ever step foot inside that place again this food was so bad.
