Went with friends for lunch. Tyler was our server and he used to fabulous. Ask for him if he's there. Very knowledgeable and friendly, checking back regularly. Food was really good. Fish and chips, oysters, soup and salad combo, Cobb salad. All the food was enjoyed. Highly recommend this restaurant in Cascade park. read more

We got sat very quickly. Ryan was an excellent server had everything correct in a timely fashion. Food was great as always. The drinks were also just how we like it. I hope Ryan enjoys his chocolate bar he makes when he goes to Creo. McGrath's should definitely not be a 2 point Whatever it should be at least 4.5. Some QR codes for reviews would defiantly help with that. read more

McGraths is starting a new Saturday and Sunday brunch. We were invited to a soft opening and came away very impressed. The menu offered a great variety of choices. The food was delicious. We also felt the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions served. The staff was outstanding and we look forward to returning. read more

The quality of food has gone severely downhill from what it was a few years ago. When my husband and I went recently, the crab legs were not good and the steak we both had was extremely tough and lacked flavor. They also didn't have any fresh lobster. Unfortunately, I don't think we will ever return. read more

Food is always EXCELLENT!!Good menu, great service! Highly recommend their seafood!!

Wow!! This place is a diamond!! We sat at the bar and Jennifer the bartender was completely amazing and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered off the happy hour menu and got oyster shooters, pan fried oysters and crab stuffed mushrooms. The food was excellent and the price point is vey low for the quality and flavor. It's extremely clean and nice inside. It's our new go to for seafood!! read more

Had Thanksgiving meal. Food was EXCELLENT and good portions. Compliments to the Chef! Was VERY busy, but they got us to our table right on time for our reservation. Waitress was amazing (very sorry I don't remember her name .) Ambiance was great. read more

My husband and I are always happy with the service and the food. Very nice atmosphere with a great menu to choose from

Excellent service, food and atmosphere! First time here and the chowder was rich, creamy and full of flavor and clams! Shrimp fest had huge shrimp and so much food for small price, amazing. Sour dough bread was oh so good! Parmesan halibut was huge piece of fish and very tasty. Tiramisu was so smooth and enough for 4 people! Great place to eat!! read more

Daniella took very good care of us. 90% of the meal was excellent, and prepared very well. Fish & Chips, Alder Planked Salmon, and Hazelnut Sole were all phenomenal. The Pineapple Cheesecake & Marionberry Cobbler were just as good. Only disappointment was the Macaroni and Cheese side. The Macaroni was gummy, with an off texture. I have no idea how that was created. Ambiance was excellent & Welcoming. read more

Good food. Nice wait staff. Would return if given the chance Prices are a bit high for my budget, but special times deserve it! read more

Was not worth the money. The baked tortellini was not good. There was way too much cheese, it was bland and I ended up not eating it. The mixed grill and oyster shooters also weren't very good. Not something you would expect at a restaurant specializing in seafood. However, The clam chowder was really good and the drinks were also excellent. I most likely won't be coming back read more

I went here for my birthday and was blown away with the seafood options. We waited for only a few minutes before being seated. We had a large table and ordered crab cakes, calamari, shrimp and mussels. For my main course, I had the Seafood Astoria. It was a little too covered in melted butter for my taste, but was still delicious. All in all a great meal. Our server wasn't very attentive, but it appeared to be due to being shorthanded (she was assigned to every table in our section of the restaurant!). read more

Delicious grilled oysters and comfortable atmosphere. The grilled oysters were cooked perfectly and the kitchen kindly split the order for us. Since we are light eaters, we always appreciate this and are repeat customers at restaurants that do this. read more

I was seated right away, my waitress ask my drink order, the drinks were delivered right away. So no problems so far. That was the last I saw of my waitress. After fifteen minutes I left money for my iced tea and left the restaurant. Because of this experience I probably will not be back. As a note, it was not that busy and they seemed well staffed. read more

Happy hour drinks and food selection are broad enough to fit any hunger need. Salads are large and clam chowder is great. Sourdough bread with entrees very tasty. read more

Seafood is always relatively pricey and McGrath's is no exception. $15 for a fish sandwich with 2 pieces of fish and a small cup of clam chowder seems high. Thankfully, McGrath's honors military veterans by given vets a free meal on Veterans Day. We also had a 3 piece cod fish & chips and as seen the photo, small pieces of fish and not many fries. The meal did come with soup (chose Fisherman's stew, a nice tomato-based soup with small chunks of fish). All the flavors were good, only downside was quantity of food. Beer batter coating on fish was crunchy and fish was flaky. Service and atmosphere were very good, though a bit brightly lit. If craving seafood, this is a good choice in Vancouver. read more

Food was fresh. We had the Copper River Salmon and pan-fried oysters along with vegetables, salad and some nice crusty bread. The oyster serving was large and I brought half of it home. Service was outstanding: prompt, checked in frequently, cleared plates, pleasant and professional. The building is showing its age, but spacious, and we were seated immediately. Considering the prices at other seafood restaurants, it was an excellent value for both food and drinks. read more

Came in for dinner in a Tuesday evening with my neighbors. It's been since before Covid that I had been to this place. The bar was filled with a bunch of senior citizens like I remembered from the last time I was there. We sat in the restaurant and we seated at a small booth. We asked for the bigger booth right next to us as it was much larger for my 6 foot 4 neighbor of mine. There were only two tables filled in the dining area. We were planning on getting the shrimp feast as we had coupons for it with $2.00 off. Our waiter showed up and got our drink orders. He came back with some waters and then went to get our drinks. I got the seafood pasta and it was actually pretty good. My neighbor, the big guy got one of the specials- the Cajun catfish. We got our salads and immediately noticed how small the salads are. But it was nice as they added some peas radishes to the salad. Kind of different. We got our meals and a could not help but notice just how small the portion of food in his meal was for my neighbor who is a big guy. I mean 3 small pieces of fish and 3 small hush puppies. Our waiter did not refill our waters the entire meal and my neighbors wife had to ask to get her iced tea refilled. Their prices are outrageous too. The service pretty much sucks. The waiter asked for the check book holder for the receipt prior to us even leaving our table. He did not even give us a pen to sign for our tip and receipt. We skipped the desert, talked for a bit and got outta there!!! If you are senior citizen and you wanna take advantage of the happy hour then, this might be your place. Don't expect much from the over priced menu items in the dining room. Just saying. read more

Have lived in Vancouver my whole life, drove by this place 1000 times, decided to grab food with the family tonight and was completely satisfied and happy. Food was amazing, drinks were delicious, all of the staff was amazing. Well most definitely be coming back read more

Thanksgiving. Family of 7. I might expect a half-present staff, considering they are here, not at home. Instead, we have experienced truly helpful and considerate people, focused on OUR Thanksgiving experience at McGrath's. Ryan, your attention to our family and our meal was impeccable, and provided with a twinkle in your eye and energy in your step. Some of us had the Thanksgiving special. I had the Coconut Pineapple Mahi. Beautiful pink medallions with a crisp and tasty crust. Soooo good. Thank you all for hosting our family's dinner on this day of gratitude. read more

The actual food is good, but charcoal bits in the grilled oysters, hair in the baked potato and bones in the fish. I'll pass next time

Not bad but not amazing. Drinks are reasonably priced and tasty. The loaded oyster shooter is good if you don't mind chewing the oyster. It was oversized. read more

I really wanted to love this place.... but it's a poor man's Red Lobster. The good: + Expansive menu + Good-sized portions for the money + Tasty sourdough + Friendly server The bad: - Wompy ambience. "Live tank" is totally empty, so is the restauarnt - Our booth was dirty- like dried sauce on the walls that never got cleaned off. Just kind of ick. - The food was mediocre at best. My big win was the baked potato...but it's a seafood restaurant. Next time I have a craving for casual chain restaurant seafood dinner, we'll be heading to Red Lobster for cheddar bay biscuits and better entrees. read more

NO TARTAR SAUCE or utensils, Mac & cheese was pretty bland, add some asiago also the fish and chips barely had any chips. The fish is great though the breading is immaculate and the fries are killer and perfectly fried. If you want flavor and good food then this is the place just don't get it to-go read more

The food is in large portions so if you look at the price it's double the amount you think you're getting. Think Cheesecake Factory without the wait time even at 2pm on a Monday. I got the Shrimp Louie salad (full size) with a side of clam chowder. Beware: if you order a full size salad, it's so large that you'd need to share it with another person. The salad was good and filling. It was served with a side of thousand island dressing. The potatoes in the clam chowder could've had a minute or so to cook. I took some fries from my mom's plate and I actually really like their fries. The cocktails are on the cheap side $8.50 so I'm thinking stop by the bar, get a drink and some fries. read more

we have been there 2 weekends in a row. Food is consistently good. Really enjoyed the Coconut Macadamia Nut Halibut. Service is always wonderful and noise level is low enough you can carry on a conversation and actually hear each other. One of our favorite go to places in Vancouver. Thank You read more

Every TV in Bar is obstructed by light fixtures. I wanted to come in and watch baseball before bed, the bar is empty, but every darn TV is hard to see. The shrimp cocktail is over cooked rubber - hard pass. Great service, just an unfortunate experience on my end. Won't be back. read more

Our family had a great meal here. The menu has many options and a wide variety of foods, even items for folks that don't enjoy seafood. My favorite items are from the wood fired seafood. We had good service and everything came in a timely manner. The family feast dinner to go is an option we have enjoyed previously and is a great value with nice size portions. I always feel this place is underrated. We will be back. Glad the Vancouver location is still around and hopefully remains for years to come. read more

Food was good, but a bit expensive. We sat in the bar and it was busy for lunch rush. Good wine selection and mom said her drink was a GOOD ONE. SHE ONLY HAD INE. space is clean and large. I bet this place gets busy in the weekends. read more

Vancouver, WA. Outstanding wait staff. I would suggest goin late afternoon or early evening on the weekend. They are so good at preparing food, they tend to run out of men items. I could rightly say negative things about the restaurant, but that wouldn't be fair. My entree choice was sold out. The wait person offered to substitute Alaska Halibut. I happily accepted. When it arrived, it was so overcooked, the fish was not edible. The on shift wait staff manager was very apologetic, offered to substitute a new plate. I told her no thank you, it was getting late. So she chose to not charge us for the entire meal. It was at this point the wait staff manager apologized and advised the actual manager of the restaurant had prepared the halibut. I think they should keep him away from the grill, just sayin' read more

I'm in the area on business and was happy to get seafood, as I am from beef country. I ordered a seafood combo dinner. The service was excellent, Jamie never let my tea glass go empty. My food was freshly cooked, tasted very good and I cleaned my plate. As for the pricing complaints on other reviews, this business is a local family owned business. They don't get the price breaks that a franchise would get. And quality ingredients cost good money. The overhead involved in a restaurant is something else to consider. Utilities, insurance, taxes, something is always broken and needing repairs. The margins aren't all that great and it is really a labor of love a lot of the time. That said, I will be back on return trips to the region. I love to support the mom and pop places. read more

Been reading reviews, I added a 1 star. All the reply's from the manager to reviews is will talk to kitchen staff about food or the waiters. I agree with other reviews the staff is poor. Never clearing empty plates, asking for refill or another drink. read more

Ambiance is cute. A lot of background music from the 60s, 70s, 80s. Service is very slow and relatively not attentive. Food is definitely subpar for the prices they are charging. It's ridiculous. Had the steak and lobster. It was "okay", veggies were pre frozen, over cooked and generally not appetizing. I skipped eating those. Mashed red potatoes were tasteless and gummy. Oysters were terrible. Don't get them. Its a disaster, it's terrible and look at how carelessly they are thrown on the plate. These guys weren't busy at all, so there is no excuse for such careless presentation. Ugh. Skip this and save your $50 read more

Awesome Happy Hr in the large and clean bar lounge area. The food was excellent, and it arrived quickly, despite the restaurant being busy. Friendly staff, and they seemed happy to help our party of 5. This location is underrated, and I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to give a shout-out because this place deserves it. Great food, reasonable price considering the high quality and portion size of the food we had, and a happy staff. Plus, I love the old school nautical/fishing vibe of the place. read more

Atmosphere was good, they accomidated our reservation for 12. Service was pretty good, but a few times it took a bit of time to get a water or a drink refill. The food was mediocre. Some items were cold although everything did come out at once. A few items....chicken parm sandwich was dry, a steak was cooked perfectly although with it being medium rare, it was super tough. The mile high pie was delicious! I have eaten here a handful of times and haven't been very impressed. read more
