Lord have mercy! I'll never never ever go back to McCrays again! This makes no sense my coworkers and I went today for lunch. I when say the food was bad I mean the food was bad as in Bad. The ribs were chewy, flavorless and dripping. I must have chewed one bit of ribs thirty times before I could swallow it. The pull pork was like it was just boiled in water pulled and added bbq sauce. The only thing that was good was the toasted bread with butter! No that was flavorful if you want some toast. Shame on them for serving with no concerns for your patrons. I'm going to try to take the ribs home and cook them more inside the oven hoping to try and get some satisfaction. But damn I waisted 56 dollars NEVER AGAIN NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! That's 100 read more

This was my first time here.... and to say the least, I was not impressed. At all. And barely finished my food. I always smelled the bbq passing through to my sisters house and decided to stop by here tonight with two other friends... I wish I didn't. Firstly, the young woman with the grey hair kept rushing me when I was trying to order and ask questions. I had to purposely slow down a little more to show her that she needs to slow down and have better service. I ordered the "rib dinner" with Mac and cheese and collard greens as my side. With extra sweet sauce and potato salad on the side. Where do I start... The ribs were not tender at all. I'm used to ribs that fall off the bone, the bone should be clean. These ribs were so hard to even try to chew through. And then we're really tough in most areas. I've never been so unsatisfied with ribs in my life. Not to mention I ordered SWEET sauce and it was spicy....thanks. The sides were so TINY in general. When I got my plate at the drive thru I looked and thought it was a joke. Barely a spoon full. The collard greens were so nasty, so vinegary. Just not good at all. The Mac and cheese had an off taste. Almost like seafood... none of us enjoyed it. I ate it because it honestly was the best thing I had on my plate but in all honesty it was not good either. The potato salad also had a bitter taste. It was odd, I had to let my sister taste it to ensure I wasn't tripping. It wasn't even the right consistency in my opinion. Not to mention, when my sister got her plate last I saw bread and wondered why she was the only one with it while me and my other sister didn't get any with ours. We asked and she so "oh hold on" and went to get our bread. That tasted stale. Overall, this food was nasty as hell. Not worth $55 total and they need to improve on flavor and tenderizing their ribs. I'm not sure if this was just an off night, or we got old food because it was night time. But no ma'am, this food was not tasteful. And I will not be returning. read more

I was given 4 ribs, and small sides and this all came out to be $20. I understand you have to get your money but the portion size and the amount is not adding up. The food is ok, but not 20 bucks worth. I didn't even get a drink. Horrible. Last time I'm eating at Scam BBQ read more

McCray's Backyard BBQ & Seafood - a chicken in a styrofoam container - Barbeque Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Today I was in the area and decided to stop by McCrays for some cracked conk. I am an absolute lover of cracked conk! I love conk that is not chewy and meaty, and McCrays definitely offer that! I'm not really a lover of their Mac and cheese, but today the Mac and cheese was warm and tasted a bit fresh. Their homemade tarter sauce is sooo delicious! I additionally ordered their $5 lunch special which is 1/4 chicken with coleslaw and baked beans. The portions were a bit small, but overall it will do. The wait time wasn't that bad. There was a total wait time of about 10 minutes. Staff was friendly and helpful. This is also a black owned business WITH some flavorful food. Again, try the cracked conk! Hot, meaty, and full of flavor! read more

They did it again! Stopped again at opening this morning. The smell of the barbecue was enticing so we ordered a 1/2 lb of pulled pork with their signature "twist" sauce in addition to two fried cracked conch snack boxes. As expected, the right-out-of-the-fryer cracked conch, perfectly, lightly coated was EVERYTHING! Again, the Key Lime sauce that accompanies the conch is perfection, however, the hot conch with just a squeeze of lime, PERFECTION! The pulled pork was delicious. Glad we gave it a try. The baked beans, wow! Hot and homestyle! Delicious! Potato salad was very tasty too! TRY THE CRACKED CONCH! You're welcome! Oh! And I had the pleasure of speaking with the Granddaughter this morning. She's as pleasant as she is beautiful! read more

McCray's Backyard BBQ & Seafood - Cracked conch Never had any better! Reminiscent of Sara's in Bimini - Barbeque Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

where to start maybe with the guy at the passing picking his teeth with a wet nap package or my ribs going into the microwave . time to eat and review . first no indoor seating , second no menu explanation and the tvs that show the menu were half broken so only could see pricing what do i get for my 18.99 ? i went with ribs fries and beans and i just watched my ribs come out of the microwave so clearly this meat will be tender . i also watched my fries and beans sit there for 7 minutes while my ribs were chipped and microwaved . so the fries were room temp and almost like a potato stick , the beans 100 percent from a can and the ribs ( tips full of silver skin and fat and lacking flavor ) the sauce was over powering and not adding to the meal. the only person who likes the meal was the dozen of flies on the dining area . so i would say bypass this place and find somewhere else to spend your money or just go to any chain , shane's rib shack or dickies or whatever you have around it will be better . read more

McCray's Backyard BBQ & Seafood - Rib Dinner or i guess they call it ribs i call it tips and pieces - Barbeque Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

I ordered from here yesterday for the first time. The delivery was on time, and the driver ordered the no contact delivery that I requested. The food was good, but it was nothing to write home about. I got a half chicken with mild sauce and bread pudding for dessert. The sauce was strange. Tasted very mustardy. The bread pudding was tasty, but it wasn't like any bread pudding I have had before. I might go back again, but I'm more likely first to try somewhere different in the area. read more

We had Mcrays cater my party 8 years ago, it was amazing. Not today, and based on the reviews not lately at all. Sandwich was soggy and flavorless. Hardly any sauce and it was nothing better than bottled sauce anyways. The "sides" are the same portion you get at Costco when you sample a product (honestly!) I understand prices for products have gone up, I am willing to pay an increase if it means an increase on the restaurant end, this is ridiculous though, at least make the food edible. Waste of money and calories. read more

I was near so I decided to get a slab of ribs I went on the website to see if they were open and they were so I stopped and ordered a slab of ribs. She said it was $36.50 I told her the website said $32. She got the manager involved, and Berry said the same thing. I did get them for the website price but I noticed before she put them in the bag they microwave the box and I asked her about that and she said yeah we always microwave them. Am I being too picky? read more

I had a problem with my order at McCray's. I called and spoke with Derrick, he resolved my situation. I certainly wasn't expecting that. All my friends have always appreciated McCray's Barbecue, even when they only had the truck. read more

I ordered the pulled pork lunch mac and cheese and corn on the cob sides. They put it in the to go box as soon as I arrived at the location. The pulled pork was ... ok. Nothing special. Mac and cheese was over cooked and I didn't even get my corn on the cob. They gave me baked beans. Also cold. Not at all worth the $18 read more

I was so unhappy when I tried them, hearing such great reviews prior. We got the rib sandwich, and friend shrimp. The shrimp was good, came with a home made sauce which was excellent. The shrimps itself were soggy and the batter fell right off. The worst was the rib sandwich. There were BONES IN IT! They literally just put 3 ribs on a piece of bread. I was so disappointed. read more

No no no ..didn't make the mark !! I been wanting to go patronize my brother but fear the bad experience. Beautiful place awesome location. I go the the walk up window and felt as if I was interfering with the employee time. Sorry to bother you young lady. What a attitude. Now I only eat brisket that tells all on the plate. It definitely wasnt that, but a sliced roast beef not smoked. Salty greens, doctored package potato salad and stale Texas toast. The sauce was nothing more than blue ribbon. My order was short of the sweet potato pie which I had to return and ask for. But I must say that pie was awesome. Well I'm over that delightful smell in the air. You can do better..!! read more

Food was over priced and dry side portion was even more worst I'll never go back there again

Okay, so this would be my third time visiting/supporting this restaurant based on the strength of it being owned by African Americans and the history behind it. For starters the young lady who answers the phone always seems overwhelmed and she is not very pleasant when taking your order. I asked to sub for white meat on the 1/4 chicken and fries combo and was told that they only have dark Meat..only for her to come back and say they do! Then she proceeds to ask if I would consider paying with my credit card, which was not an issue. However, if I knew that I would have the wrong items with my meal upon pick up I would've opted to pay at the window instead. The iced tea taste like it was made with faucet water...and the taste was not pleasant at all. The food was lukewarm aside from the fries that had just come up because they gave me beans and coleslaw instead. The Mac and cheese was bland with no flavor and greasy with cheese that wasn't cheesing...The pork sliders were okay but nothing to run home and tell mama about. The corn was just that...a boiled piece of corn..I was expecting something totally different. Overall. I would possibly give them another try but keep it to a minimum when it comes to the selection of items they have on the menu. read more

Stopped in with coworkers while traveling and saw the sign from the road. Two of us got ribs and 1 got the 1/4 chicken. The ribs had a nice smokey flavor but were really fatty. I got the hot and sweet sauces mixed which gave a nice tangy flavor. The sauce saved the somewhat average meat. The chicken was very dry. The fries were pretty good, they came with seasoned salt so had a nice flavor. Two of us had ordered an additional side of the mac 'n cheese, and both agreed it was the highlight of our lunch. It had a really good flavor and a thick layer of baked cheddar on top. I would be willing to give something else on the me u a shot - but will for sure ask for mac 'n cheese again. read more

I've been patronizing this establishment for many years and have always enjoyed their food. I had a taste for McCrays BBQ today and after the first bite, I was taken back to the early days. The ribs were very juicy, mild sauce dripped from my fingers! Excellent ribs, stop by and get some good BBQ read more

I wouldn't go back here. I asked for beef brisket and they gave me shredded beef. They also have me what appears to be a spoonful of rice and mac n cheese. I can't account for the taste of the rest of their food but the rice, Mac n cheese was subpar. Shredded beef was decent, but I didn't ask for it. Not worth the 16 bucks I spent. In addition I asked for sauce on the side and I didn't get that either. Also, the person taking my order wasn't friendly and seemed like her life was miserable. Keep your problems at home and not at work. read more

I've been a few times. Food is good but Menu at drive through is odd. Some of the staff are slow upstairs. I just ordered a chicken sandwich and got two pieces of toast sliced in half and two tiny pieces of chicken. Am I supposed to make my own sandwich? The food taste good but the menu is odd and the people are odd. Can you imagine anywhere ordering a sandwich and they give you separate bread and meat. It's just weird. Last time saw the special and asked if I could change my order and the woman's head almost burst from over thinking. Hmmm... I'm not sure I can do that. Wow. Lets redesign menu and get some different people/staff that can communicate. It's just weird. read more

McCray's Backyard BBQ & Seafood - Not a chicken sandwich ! - Barbeque Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

When you pull into a barbecue place and the first thing you see is a line of offset smokers you get really excited. But unfortunately for this place it went all downhill from there. To start their pricing is super expensive and while you get a good portion of meat it is not barbecue. It is oven-roasted sitting in a pile of water in my plate with the sides served separately. Most BBQ places when they ask you what type of BBQ sauce you want they give it to you on the side this place courts it all over the top to try to hide the fact that their meat has been sitting in a rotisserie pan for hours or on a steam table. I will not go back it is sad to say that this place is Catered multiple Super Bowls with that type of barbecue. read more

Okay so I went back and they were very accommodating which I am very appreciative of. One I showed the manager the screen shot of my order/total she replaced my lost order. I couldn't get what I originally ordered which is fine. I'm just glad all wasn't lost. Thanks McCray's! read more

I was in the mood for bbq so I decided to stop here because I've heard nothing but good things about McCray's. I ordered the ribs dinner with 2 sides. Mac and cheese and baked beans. The ribs were good. They were very soft and not fatty . The Mac and cheese was ok. The texture was nice but needed more salt. The baked beans was very good. Nice and sweet . The only downside was the pricing and the service. Call me cheap but if I'm going to pay $20 for a plate of food then I'm expecting to be wowed. Like beans and Mac and cheese is not expensive to make.. and the ribs are so tiny and didn't have a lot of meat on them. The customer service .. they're so slow and a tad bit unprofessional. I'm not asking for them to dote on me but a simple hello how are you would've been nice . And then .. they also charge a fee if you use your credit or debit card. Whyyyyy??? It's 2022 who walks around with paper money?? read more

Food was absolutely HORRIBLE! BBQ was mostly bones. I ordered a pound of ribs and received half. The macaroni and cheese was no edible, it wasn't the authentic black American Mac and cheese I've grown to love. It was giving Jamaican brick pie. I'm west indian myself, and I would eat that at all . Never again...Food was terrible read more

Tonight my hubby and I went to try the newest restaurant in West Palm Beach. We have waited several YEARS for this site to be done. Well, luckily it was a beautiful night out...because they ONLY have outside seating at this location on 45th. There are 5 small tables with 4 chairs each in a HUGE outside patio... 20 person seating, with 6 Jumbo TV's!!! Overkill?? What were they thinking? Plenty of places to park and indoor bathrooms. But, no screens to keep the bugs or wind from getting to your food. Speaking of food, I had the pulled pork sandwich-dry. Very moist and good taste. It came with a 'side' of beans and coleslaw & 2 slices of bread...why more bread made no sense to me. The rest didn't fill up the small spoon I was given....a taste is what I would call it. As for my side order of mac n cheese... for $2.50 I can get twice the size at Publix and it wouldn't be dried out. Very disappointed. Our dog was delighted with something crunchy for supper! My hubby is 6' 5" and starving. He ordered a brisket, think for the cost, he was getting a meal. Nope, it was just the meat!!! I gave him my slaw and beans. He won't eat slaw but the beans literally fit on the tiny fork. He got 2 slices of bread and so did I ...although I would never serve 2 MORE slices of bread with a SANDWICH!! Also, their napkins are very tiny and they have notices hanging up NOT to give the customers more than the alotted amount!! Rude. No one came to sit. Everyone was a walkup. We will know better next time. The meat was really good, just a bit on the pricey side, especially when there is no indoor seating or waitresses. We'll go back, but only for the meat. I am glad they are finally open!! read more

Excellent. The owner- Mr. McCray is one of the nicest truest men I have ever met. Such a good heart. Love this place.

Best food in Palm Beach County, went to McCrays and got a full slab of ribs. Derrick the owner gave me a tour of the restaurant as well showing me their operations, I was very impressed. read more

This business has really went down. Any place is better than this. My sis ordered Brisket on July 14th, 2023 and they gave her a pound of chopped ribs which I never heard of. When she got her food she looked at receipt and realized it wasn't what she ordered. The female told her they didn't have any Brisket. WHAT THE HELL? I've had to take food back before, cuz I saw blood on my ribs, I guess not really cooked. Food is expensive everywhere now, but at least some places are so much better. read more

Y'all please don't waste your money going here. I was looking for meat on my ribs and got bones. And I don't know who is cooking that salty, dry disgusting macaroni and cheese. Your better off getting you a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese and cooking it yourself. The fried fish was okay but they are charging you them high prices for a small piece of fish. Also I bought a bread pudding and a sweet potato pie. The pie was good but that thick bread pudding looked like it came from Publixx. BOTTOM LINE: Their prices are extremely high for the quality of their food! read more

it with a heavy heart that I write this review because I heard good things about this place and this building on the outside looks beautiful. But I have to be honest. I tried this place for the second time and still I was extremely disappointed . They appear to be understaffed and this can lead to issues with quality. I ordered a rib dinner and a small sweet potato pie. Nothing fancy or extra but it all came up to a whopping $23!!! The small pie was $6. I wanted ribs, Mac& Cheese & greens with the rib dinner. I get to the window only to find out that they are out of greens. This is 4 hours before closing time!! . How can you be outta collard greens!!?? Thats Disappointment #1.woosah Ok so I opted for Baked beans instead. With the yellow mustard sauce on ribs and on the side. Got my plate and got my second disappointment!!! The ribs were cold to the touch the bone was cold, the meat was barely warm. The sauce was all mustard and no BBQ!! The Mac &Cheese had no cheese in it, it tasted terrible like it had been refrigerated and reheated and even that was Luke warm!! The only thing on my plate that was hot were the baked beans!! Honestly like I'm soo disappointed. My side of sauce tasted like a full bottle of french's mustard. I love mustard so I know how mustard taste!!! The ribs and sauce were a huge disappointment!! Unfortunately I will not be going back to give this place another chance. My first visit was mediocre but this second visit sealed the deal. I'm salty about my $23!! But I was too far from the place to turn around and get a refund. McCray's y'all gotta do better!?? The facility looks nice but the quality has significantly diminished. read more
