My first time at McCabe's led to an overall enjoyable experience. First and foremost, the food was…read morevery good and the menu looked excellent boasting a half price Tuesday burger menu, which I am sure I will be back for. I had the spring menu special pork chop which was very good though lacking the mass I require for sustenance. The main downfall of McCabe's is the overall bland and predictable beer list with only one decent craft IPA on tap (Anderson's IPA which received a 4.5 on Crapper Craft Reviews). While this saved the day the next most intriguing option was...nothing unless you enjoy a Sleeman railside or a Belgian Moon.....No thank you. Beer is why I come to pubs so this certainly knocked a good start off my rating. Secondly the service, which I usually dont give two farts about, was slower than my second cousin Jimmy (bless his soul). All this combined led to a 3 star rating, but I'm a hard ass so take this with some salt. Still one of the better pubs in the city which is pretty sad. STEP UP YOUR GAME LONDON. Crapper reviews signing off.

My second visit to McCabe's the other night with my boyfriend and his friends. We wanted to go…read moresomeplace within walking distance of our place downtown, but someplace that wouldn't be filled with students either, and McCabe's was the perfect place, and we headed out around 7:30pm, and when we got there, there was room on the patio for us to sit. Our waiter was super nice, asked us our drink order and we ordered appetizers as well. I ordered a Somersby Cider, and for appetizers we got spinach dip, deep fried pickle spears and bruchetta. All came out first after our drinks and were tasty. The spinach dip was a bit on the salty side, but that was okay, we still gobbled it up anyway. Hanging out with three guys, you know the food is going to be eaten. For my main meal, I got the Buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. The wrap was really good, super spicy and hot, and the sweet potato fries, were sliced into thick wedges and didn't come with a chipotle sauce like most sweet potato fries do. That was fine, I wasn't able to finish my main meal because of the apps we ordered, so I got a take out box to put my leftovers in for tomorrow. I'm glad we went when we did, it started to get busier and more and more people started coming onto the patio, security guard blocked off the back entrance to the stairs going downstairs to the back for the easier access to the washrooms, so I had to use the front and go all the way through the restaurant. If you are going to McCabe's for a nice drink or night out with friends, your best option is to get their early, before the crowds of students fill up the place for the rest of the night to get the best seat in the house.

As a restaurant, the food is arguably the most important factor when deciding on a rating. I've been here twice with friends, and both times people around the table have been dissatisfied with the food. I had spicy wings the first time and chicken parmesan last time. The wings weren't very spicy - they were actually quite sour, and the pasta was incredibly bland and the chicken was soggy. My friends all agreed that their food was bland as well. The servers are awesome! They're attentive, funny, and friendly. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere too. The drinks menu is pretty big, and the regular menu is filled with tasty-sounding dishes (but none of them have lived up to their description). Prices are average. Free parking is available in the plaza, washrooms could be better but they're usable. I would definitely return to Carey's again because I want to give them another chance. I just want more seasoning and flavour on my food, that's all!

The drink menu left a lot to be desired for someone who doesn't care for beer. They had no cider, and very limited cooler choices (Smirnoff ice). Every where else I've been always has an evenly weighted menu between beer and other options The food was okay, poutine was pretty tasty and so was my grilled cheese. However it was nothing to rave about. My fiancé's BLT was mediocre and they charged him $1 for a side of mayo. We thought that was ridiculous. Needless to say we won't come here again. We'll find somewhere with a better menu.
