There's also a balcony for al fresco dining. Cute, cozy brick interior. As for the food....YUM, YUM, YUM. We had the smash burgers. Believe me when I say the Celine Dijon was outstanding!!! Sounds strange but the crispy friend cheese was unique and with bacon jam.....Home run. Would come back just for that. Mr. Egon was good,but didn't compare to Celine. Handcut fries were plentiful but thought were overly seasoned. Dipping sauce was .75 extra. We shared the generous slice of whipped peanut butter pie, drizzled with fudge. Would have preferred whipped cream. My preference. Drinks were not strong. Orders were served with that sweet southern hospitality. Highly recommend reservations for weekend. Public parking provided in back can easily fill up on weekends.

The service was…read morewarm and intentional, and the atmosphere struck a great balance between relaxed and elevated, with live music that didn't overpower conversation. We started with the Bang-Bang Salmon Eggrolls and Honey Yuzu Lemon Pepper Wings--both were flavorful and well-executed--and a Strawberry Lychee Rum Mojito that was light and refreshing. My herb pan-seared salmon was outstanding, with beautifully crisp skin and a perfectly cooked interior. My husband's braised boneless short ribs were tender, rich, and incredibly satisfying. Our server, Kevin, was attentive and accommodating, even adding a thoughtful anniversary dessert touch. For quality, portions, and overall experience, Parkside District remains one of the best dining options in Lawrenceville. We'll absolutely be back.

Our favorite server Jennifer was FABULOUS as usual! We go on Mondays just to see her and get that tasty fish! They also have a bogo shrimp on Thursdays but the last time we went for that it was a bust bc they didn't have but 2 servers and neither were happy campers! I've been coming here since they opened and I'm so sad that the owner passed away recently. The place reminds me of a seafood joint at the beach nothing fancy just great food! I can say this when you go to wash your hands the water gets hot super quick not luke warm I mean hot! Which is great to get rid of any fish smells . There are 2 other locations one in Winder and one in Loganvlle both called Shuckums BUT the City of Lawrenceville balked at that name so they settled on Oyster Bay! Definitely an asset to downtown Lawrenceville.

There were no neon lights or signs or anything to make the restaurant look open. Walking into the front door was interesting. To be honest, I'm surprised I stayed. The door has random stickers on it and, quite frankly, is a mess. Ladders were at the entrance and I'm not sure if they were there just at the time we were there or if that's where they are stored. We sat down and were not impressed. The place just seemed dirty. (Mostly my impression because of the entrance). I know this is not a fine dining establishment, but we were looking for some good wings which is why we ended up at Will Henry's. Turns out the wings were really good. They were big and saucy. We also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich which was just ok. The service was ok as well. Apparently, there were a lot of "regulars" there because everyone knew each other and knew the staff. So that's nice that they have returning customers. I don't think we will be back. We will continue the search for great wings.

We walked in after a long day and received the best service from our waitress Molly. The owner greeted us at our table and ensured everything was up to par, which it absolutely was. Cold beer, fantastic food served quickly, and wonderful welcoming atmosphere. As a huge plus, the women's bathroom was stocked with a little basket of all the girlie needs (advil, body spray, feminine products, etc). A regular sat down with us and started chatting us up, said she had been coming here for 6 years, which is a testament to the overall vibe of the bar and staff. Btw, TRY THE OKRA!!! So good. We will be back!!!

The host said it was to celebrate the spring season since they did a apres ski theme during the winter. So festive. Okay so boom, we came here on a whim since we were going to a concert in the area later that evening. Surprisingly it wasn't busy for a Saturday which I expected it to be. Unfortunately though they had upcoming reservations so we weren't able to sit in the main room. We sat in their second dining room which was off to the side but still decorated. Our service was still good and the waiter was very attentive. For apps, we got the She Crab soup. I would've preferred for the crab meat to be sprinkled on top vs. in the soup but nonetheless it was still delicious. Super fresh!! Omg. I even contemplated on switching my entree to the stuffed grouper to get some more crab meat. I ended up getting the Shrimp scampi which was a great choice. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint with the shrimp. 6 jumbo pieces. Omg. The entree was done pretty well and it was just the right portion size. If we had more time, I would've ordered their toffee bread pudding or the honey crème brulee but that's all the more reason to come back. Oh and order the It was all a dream cocktail. It tastes like vanilla. Done to perfection.

McCray's Tavern - Lawrenceville If you're looking for a…read moreplace in Lawrenceville that delivers excellent service, great food, and an overall amazing dining experience, McCray's Tavern is absolutely worth the visit. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed -- but what truly set the tone for the entire visit was the service. Service That Makes the Experience The service at McCray's was impeccable, and that's not a word I use lightly. Our server, Whit, was the highlight of the entire experience.

Good food + exceptional service = an unforgettable experience. Final Thoughts McCray's in Lawrenceville is the kind of place where the service makes the meal, and Whit is the kind of server who turns a simple dinner into a memorable moment. If you're in the area and want a great dining experience, this spot is absolutely worth stopping by.

From the moment my daughter her friend and I walked in, we were treated like we were a burden instead of paying customers. The attitudes from the employees were rude, cold, and completely unwelcoming. Nobody seemed happy to help, and the entire atmosphere felt miserable. After waiting 10-15 minutes for our food to be "freshly cooked," I expected at least hot food. Instead, I was handed a turkey burger that was barely lukewarm and french fries that were cold, limp, and already wrinkling like they had been sitting forever. To make it worse, the fries looked like nothing but the tiny leftover scraps from the bottom of the potato bag. It honestly felt like they just threw together whatever they didn't want to serve anyone else. We sent the fries back, and when they brought them out again, they were only slightly warmer than before -- still not hot like fries should be straight out of the fryer. What's even crazier is that the manager brought the food back to the table and STILL never apologized. No concern, no accountability, nothing. That alone says everything about the customer service at this place. Whatever happened to quality food and decent customer service? Customers are paying hard-earned money and deserve hot food and respectful treatment -- not cold leftovers, terrible attitudes, and management that acts like it doesn't care. Extremely disappointing experience, and I will definitely think twice before ever coming back.
