McCray's Tavern in West Village is a solid neighborhood spot with a convenient location right off 285 and South Atlanta Road. One of the biggest pluses is the parking. The shopping plaza is surrounded by plenty of parking, which makes it easy to stop in without dealing with the usual hassle that comes with some Atlanta area restaurants. The atmosphere is casual, comfortable, and works well for a relaxed lunch, dinner, drinks, or meeting up with friends. Service is decent. It has that easy neighborhood tavern feel where you can come as you are and settle in. If you're ordering food, the smoked wings are one of the better-known favorites and a solid choice if you want something easy to share with drinks. Overall, it's a dependable option in the area with easy parking, a laid-back atmosphere, and a menu that works well for casual dining. read more

10:10 Wings were the best wings I've had at a non-wing spot! Buffalo chicken egg rolls were so damn good and fresh. The chicken Ceaser salad was a great addition to the meal that was super greasy. The service was great and letting us know the weekly specials. read more

I have zero complaints! We wandered in thinking we were going to play trivia and sat in the bar area at a high-top, assuming that's where it would be--without asking anyone (rookie mistake). We ended up ordering dinner instead. I had the salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans, and I've got to say, it was swimming in butter... but pretty much in a good way. Maybe just a touch less would have been perfect--though I think the super delicious green beans were the main culprit. My boyfriend ordered the Cuban sandwich, and it was ginormous--so good that he packed up the leftovers to eat later that night. It turns out trivia was happening in the other room, and there were a lot of people participating. Our awesome server told us they give out prizes (I think it was money off future meals), and that some nights are packed while others are totally dead--but even if only one table shows up, they still win the prize. That alone is incentive enough for me to come back, since that's probably the only way I'll ever win--lol! Almost forgot to add: Trivia Wednesday nights at 7:30 - ask your hostess where it's located! read more

My friend and I arrived around 2pm. The location didn't appear to be too busy but there were people there. They handed us a lot of menus which was somewhat overwhelming. But regardless we took a minute to look them over. We were never given glasses of water which was just strange to me. The server we had, I think was also the bartender. I ordered a French 75 (8/10) and my friend ordered an Irish coffee. Biggest issue was there was no whipped cream... and when asked about it, apparently they don't stock whipped cream for anything. Strange. The food menu didn't look too appealing and so we decided to just have drinks. The biggest issue for me was that it was HOT inside. So uncomfortable. I was having to fan myself. I have no clue why it was so warm inside but that definitely didn't help me want to stay longer read more

I enjoyed McCray's. Came in for some Sunday football and loved how many TVs they had. I'd definitely recommend for a sports day. The TVs were showing both the games which I liked. They have main area, then a larger area in the back with more and bigger TVs. We opted for the back room. Their drinks were pretty good and they have a large selections of drinks to choose from. They also have a sports menu that's served on Saturday & Sundays. We got the chicken quesadillas. They were good, pretty standard bar food. We also ordered the boneless wings which were ok as well. The staff was very nice and our server, Mya was great. It wasn't super crowded and there was a lot of free parking. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm looking for somewhere to watch football. read more

Stopped by while in town for work based on a recommendation. Good lunchtime crowd, but we were able to get seated quickly. Our server was great, super friendly and helpful through the recently updated menu. I got the Buffalo Chicken Panini, which was good. There is always a chance that a sandwich like this can be a huge mess. Not only was it good, I wasn't left with handfuls of sauce, which is nice. The house made chips were also very good. read more

I recently went to McCray's on a whim as I remembered I had a gift card. The weather was nice outside so we decided to sit on the patio. We both ordered the southwest bowl with chicken. This was a very delicious bowl. The chicken did need a bit more seasoning as it had no taste, but altogether it was delicious because everything else had amazing flavor. I enjoyed that this dish wasn't too heavy, was filling, and overall a healthier option for me. Our waitress was friendly and she made sure to check on us a number of times to make sure everything was going well. She also was very polite. Our food came out fast which was great as we were starving, lol. All in all we had a nice time and will be back to try some of their other options. read more

Came in on a late Sunday afternoon. Not many people. I think the brunch crowd must've just finished. Glad to find this place that serves more than just brunch type food. We were seated quickly. We ordered a couple of drinks. Also ordered the Spinach Artichoke dip. FANTASTIC!! Love that they have it in a small cast iron pan. Also had the S&S smash burger as a single burger and it was sooo good! The sauce and cheese combination was delicious. We also had the Fried Buffalo Panini was very good as well. Anna C was our server and she was so friendly and attentive. I'll be back. read more

The salmon blt was amazing! And the sweet potato fries. Highly recommend. I see there are tons of specials throughout the week for families, kids and adults. Great neighborhood spot It appears to be. My mom ordered the baby back ribs, don't recommend at all! They were tough and didn't fall off the bone. But the service was quick to fix and my mom got the salmon instead and she said it was way better! So overall you can't lose ordering salmon. We are visiting in town, so it was a great spot. Would have given 5 stars had the ribs met my mom's standards. read more

Dinner for 2 We parked the car in what turned out to be a mixed-use area and lucked out with a spot right up front. As we stepped out, we were greeted by someone we'd later come to know as Tony. He welcomed us warmly and asked if we preferred to sit at a table or at the bar. Surprisingly, Wifey chose the bar. I had made a reservation on OpenTable for 5:15 PM. Even though the place wasn't too busy at the time, I let Tony know about the reservation just to avoid getting dinged on the app. He acknowledged that and made a note in the system. Tony handed us menus and pointed us to a QR code to scan the beer list. He was enthusiastic about the freshly smoked chicken dinner, which came with two sides. When it came to the beer selection, Tony really knew his stuff. He asked about our favorite styles, and when Wifey said she liked lagers, he recommended a Mexican lager. She ended up going for a full 16 oz pour. As for me, he mentioned a couple of Hazy IPAs, both of which I'd tried already. Then he suggested the Pernicious IPA by Wicked Weed--something I'd also had before and really enjoyed--so I went with that. So it was the Mexican lager for Wifey and the Pernicious for me. After browsing the menu, I ordered the smoked turkey club--no avocado, no tomatoes--with a side of rice and black beans. Wifey went with Tony's recommendation: the smoked chicken dinner with mac & cheese and coleslaw. My sandwich was excellent. The bread had that perfect crunch on the outside and was soft inside. Everything worked together just right, and even the rice and beans were well-seasoned. Wifey was equally happy with her meal. The smoked chicken had great flavor, the mac & cheese was creamy and satisfying, and even the coleslaw hit the mark. The side portions were generous--big enough that I managed to sneak a few bites myself. All in all, everything was delicious. We both loved our beers, the food hit the spot, and Tony took amazing care of us from start to finish. Instagram: @whatsthenextmemory read more

Normally I come in here because it's my neighborhood bar. No I'm not an everyday customer so I don't know the hours. I walked in today around 1040p. Something told me something was a little off because the server was acting like she didn't want to take me as a table (party of two) because as former server myself, we always chasing a tip. So the African American young female server was pushing us to get service from Ashley (my girl) at the bar. We were cool with that because I love Ashley. As me and the other person in my party were gathering our drink order to go order AT THE BAR, someone that works there told the sista that they already did last call. THAT WOMAN LIED AND SAID (in a low voice) "I know I told them". SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT LAST CALL AND TO LIE ON CUSTOMERS IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR ME!!! If you're lying about making a SIMPLE MISTAKE, what else are you lying about. I come in there enough to not be lied on but not enough to know when your last call is on a holiday Sunday. So disappointed!!! read more

Did someone take a bite off the bread & put it on the plate? Why would yall continue to place it there? Everytime I come to this spot it's something , idk where to start actually. This day , the cups we were giving were filthy... & it looks like some ate our food otw to us... Why would yall bring it out like that??? A previous incident we tried sitting at the bar , was not acknowledge til about 10 minutes later while the bartenders saw us come in the bar & take a seat. On top of that , the food we had just ordered came out completely cold.... If you're not a regular at the bar service will be completely trash. With that being said I was waiting to check out , a couple of regulars walked in & the bartender proceeded to ignore me saying i needed my check & went to crack a laugh & make their drinks. Im a bartender myself so I know how it works... Again , if you aren't a regular at the bar , service is trash & just horrible overall honestly. Worst bar in the neighborhood. read more

McCray's Tavern - Seafood Dip - American Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

They said they have a happy hour on their website online. I go in, they don't have a happy hour, I look through the menu, nothing looked appetizing and I was bummed they didn't have the happy hour listed. I wanted to order a $6 drink they had advertised everywhere I looked, they said the deal was over and they couldn't honor it. Okay, whatever. The lady comes back to my table and tells me to leave because I didn't order anything. I happily left, they don't tell the truth on their website or in the restaurant. No one looks happy to work there anyway. Won't be coming back. read more

This is a sports bar and the food was good. The pretzel was soft and salty and the dips complimented it well. The burger was juicy good and made the way it was ordered. The sweet potatoes were crispy. We did have to send back the strawberry lemonade but they did rectify the issue for us quickly. read more

The wife and I decided to spend a weekday together and ended up at McCrays for an early lunch. It was a good choice! As we pulled up to the restaurant, a smoker was doing its thing and the smell of smoked wings filled the air. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and decided to sit at the bar. Another good choice because the bartender was awesome. We ordered smoked lemon pepper wings, nachos and a couple of drinks. Yes, common bar food but they did it right. The wings were juicy and smokey. The nachos were loaded and plentiful. The portions were large enough for leftovers. Overall, a great experience with good food. read more

We came here for burgers and we were very pleased with our burgers. We got the Matador and their monthly Special burger (the sunrise) They come with the side of fries that were super crispy. Just how I like them We sat on their dog friendly patio and our server was fast efficient! read more

One of the bestest Smyrna bars around; Most informed & attentive barkeeps this side of 285; Looking for tenders, fish tacos, nachos, or wings? U hit the Spot. Cool slick welcoming interior, greeted warmly by friendliest hosts immediately at walk-in. Loud spot; Multiple TVs playing da sports at slick bar, with every known beer on tap; or go with their classic mule or exquisite lemon drop, v popular & excellent, not kiddn. Start off w their house Gumbo if hungry; didn't ask what in, v good; it's Out of this world. (Don't forget the hot sauce.. .. Cholula :/ Tons of free parking nearby in the development. read more

Chopped salad was the best salad ever. Next time adding salmon. Asking for extra blue cheese.

I've been 3 different times. The service is always bad. I tried it again for trivia night last night and walked out. I was there for 15 minutes and no server ever even came to ask if I wanted something to drink or eat.... The rest of the room that was only 5 tables. Had full meals and drinks in that time... read more

No. This is to remind me, no. I love a good sports bar. This one is...meh. Very loud all the time (not a fun loud, noisy ), food is not good, servers good, drinks ok. Experience all 3 times I've been here- meh. read more

Had a great time here on a Sunday. I came here around 11 with my mother for brunch. We were immediately seated in the bar area, our server was Shai. I had the breakfast sandwich and Mac n cheese, and she had wings and eggs. We both ordered a side of breakfast potatoes. Mac and cheese was okay, not great but not bad. We really liked the potatoes, but my mom's order of them came out cold. Shai was swift in correcting the problem. I liked my sandwich and she liked her wings but we agreed that it wasn't...... "delicious." But it was good. They do not have bottomless mimosas, but they do have a mimosa tower (pictured) which is enough for two. The mimosa is pre-made so you do not have an option to choose another juice. It was still good. The service was awesome, she made us feel at home and took great care of us. The manager stopped by and checked on us as well. like that the bar area has TV's around the entire perimeter. No matter where you are sitting you can see a television. McCray's is located in a work/live/play area, so there are 7+ other restaurants in the walking distance. That being said, nothing really stands out or encourages me to go back there and not somewhere else. Again, nothing was bad. It was just a regular place to eat at. In these times, if I'm spending my hard earned money I want some damn good food!! This just wasn't the place. read more

Went there on a Friday night and we got seated right away. We got a high table by the bar and only ordered drinks and wings. Our waiter was nice and got us our drinks fairly quickly. I ordered a whisky sour, but it tasted as if soda had been added to the drink. I told our waiter and he changed the drink right away with no issues. The games were on on all the tv's but majority of the people were focused on the basketball game. It is a cool spot to hang out and watch a sports game. read more

Service is great. Their nachos were too large. Had to take a bunch home. Great atmosphere and forensics patrons.

I have been to McCray's many time over the years and somehow never hit the review button, but after my latest visit which included brunch...I knew I had to share! While there are a few McCray's located around the metro area, this particular McCray's is located off of Atlanta Road near the 285 rampway and sits in the West Village Shopping Center. West Village is a mixed use center with residential (rentals and homes) along with a variety of restaurants including Blue Moon Pizza, Five Guys, Starbucks, Zama and a few others, as well as a barber shop, nail salon and medical offices. The center is well maintained and kept clean as well. Over the years a few different restaurants and shops have come and gone, but McCray's has stayed steady through it all! In the shopping center, McCray's sits on the back corner across from Blue Moon. This is a PERFECT spot for a restaurant, especially one that wants to boast a patio for those sweet spring and fall days here in Atlanta! The patio features a few large tables and several smaller two/four tops with some covered and others on the open patio, but fitted with umbrellas. In my previous visits, I always came here for dinner and drinks, to which I never had an issue. My go-to for dinner is a toss up between the smoked wings or the buffalo chicken panini. The wings, y'all...they are smackin' good! They smoke on site, usually with a massive smoker they keep on the patio...if you are near and see the puffs of smoke, you know they got something good coming your way! The wings are smoked with a dry rub and then before tossing them on the plate they fry them to get the perfect crisp! Legit, no sauce needed! The buffalo chicken panini is a real solid sandwich! I always go with fried chicken, as well...duh! In addition to the thick and plentiful chicken on the sammy, you get cheese, dressing and bacon. It's a tasty meal between some crispy bread for sure! My latest visit was for brunch and this was a first for me at McCray's. I love me a good breakfast sandwich and honestly, that was what I was after this weekend, however...you don't just put chilaquiles on a menu and not expect me to get it! The chilaquiles were small in size, but mighty in taste! However, the size definitely fooled me, because even though it appeared small, I barely finished it as they packed so much into that bowl it was almost magic! Their chilaquiles is served in a salsa verde sauce instead of red, but all the other parts such as the chicken, fried egg, chips and cheese were classic to the dish! As someone who has sampled this dish around the country and definitely around the metro area, I was actually shocked at how good it was at McCray's! You can call me surprised, but you can't call me hungry...because I tore that plate up and washed it down with a $5 mimosa! Service was decent, over my trips to McCray's the one constant is rather slow service. They are always very friendly and helpful, but getting them to the table can be a task at times. During my last visit, I had to get up twice in search of our waitress after waiting for about 5 mins to see if she was going to return. It is never absolutely garbage, but can be annoying for sure. Overall, McCray's is a solid place in a great location! It can a date night spot, place for some drinks with friends or a tasty brunch spot! I am definitely a fan and will return again...and again! read more

I was just here a 9:00 pm. I ordered wings to go and a Tito's while I wait. It literally took 30 minutes to get 6 wings and when I got them they were not fresh. The wings were cooked earlier today. This was a total let down. I just threw the wings away. read more

average place for food. We went for Wednesday Trivia and it started @7:30 and ended around 9:30. There are cash prizes for top 3 winners which is cool. The host was great and it's super easy to log in to play. The food was average, and the beer was okay. Their draft list wasn't bad I just wish there was more. We got the Brussel sprouts and nacho apps which were average. Wish there was more cheese for the nachos and crispier Brussel sprouts but the flavor was good. read more

Google says on Thursday - Saturday they are open from 11am-12am. I called 3 times thursday evening to place a to go order. Once a 9:48pm, 9:49pm & then 10:50. There was no answer any of the times so I said I'll just walk over there. I walked in at 11:02 and the bartender said they were closed.. Super annoying for google to be misleading but even more annoying that I had to get up and walk over there. If y'all would've answered the phone the 3 times I called prior to you closing, you could've told me the hours of operation so I didn't waste my time. Inconvenient & inconsiderate. read more

My family and I recently dined at McCray's Tavern on Saturday, November 22. I've been here several times before the food and service have been at a good standard. Our server Maria was initially very nice. It was when we asked her to split the check (it was 5 of us) 3 on one check and 2 on the other, things took a turn. Her face instantly changed, and you could see pure irritation. She looked around the table and said "well I hope I can remember what's what." When she walked off, we were all left feeling with how the energy with her had shifted. She had one thing wrong on the ticket...no big deal we just went along with how she split it. I went in to pay the two separate tickets. One ticket was $111, I gave her $112. The other ticket was $65 and I gave her my card. She then turned around and asked me, "so there's no gratuity with this, is that what this is?" I couldn't believe she asked me that! I told her I gave you my card, I can tip on the card. Which was the plan for me to tip for all of us, on my card! I've never had a server asked me if I was leaving gratuity or not in that type of tone! All because we asked her to split the check! Her attitude was nasty!! She really messed up our dining experience! I will go back because outside of her, the service has always been good. I will just me sure not to sit with MARIA! read more

They have a good selection of food and drink options. We ordered fish and chips and grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Everything was really good and offered nice portion sizes. Our server was okay but seemed rushed thus the one star removal. I forget his name. We were seated on the patio. He would come to check on us as if someone was chasing after him. As soon as we started to respond, he would start walking to the door and reply with his back turned to us which is difficult for someone like me who is bilateral hearing impaired. We felt as if we were inconveniencing him. He never got anything wrong though. McCray's is a very laid back place ideal for couples, business meetups, and families. It's a cool area with plenty of parking. read more

Lunch at McCray the other week for a friend's birthday (so mad we missed the bottom less mimosa for brunch by an hour lol). I enjoyed my time here, we were seated in the booth with a direct view of the flatscreen tv so I was able to catch the game while having lunch. The drink was pretty good, well ok. I ordered a margarita that the waitress recommend (i forgot the name but it was pinl color) but I said ok because it was a little too sweet. I wanted my liquor than sweetness. We ordered the buffalo chicken rolls which was ok as well..I think because it didn't come out as fresh as I would've wanted. And as far as entrees we order between the nachos (which was hugeee), chicken Caesar salad and salmon. All which was pretty good, didn't hear any negative feedbacks from anyone at the table. There's parking at the deck next to the restaurant, the availability is pretty limited so when you arrive expect to wait a bit for a car to leave unless you just get lucky with an open spot. Parking was approx $6 for a 2 hours time. Overall decent recent, will need to come back to catch their brunch's bottom less mimosa next time. read more
