McCray's Tavern - Smyrna - American restaurant in Smyrna - 4500 W Village Pl #2009, USA

Food was pretty good. Nice service. Noisy but it was the AFC playoffs. Probably would have been 4 or 5 stars if it weren't for the 3.5% add on fee to pay my bill. They add this bogus charge of 3.5% to pay with a credit card. I'm betting a majority of their customers are using a credit card so this is kind of an underhanded way to raise the menu price without actually raising the menu price. A more honest approach might be to offer a discount to cash paying customers so the menu price will reflect what a majority of customers would actually be paying. I wonder how many customers see this after the fact and pull 3.5% off their servers tip to compensate? Or how many people just never go back (like I won't be doing) due to the underhanded Comcast like practice of adding a fee? Why don't they add a fuel surcharge to cover the light bill while they are at it? Maybe a calorie transport fee to bring the food from the kitchen to the table? They could add an environmental impact fee to cover table cleaning!!!!! This place could advertise a $1 burger and hide $20 worth of fees at the bottom of the menu if they played their cards right.

Had lemon pepper wings and they were great! (Not over cooked and seasoning was even and tasty.) My friend got the fish and chips, which he enjoyed. They have a great selection of beer and a well stocked bar. Bartender did a great job managing the orders, our drinks didn’t take more than a couple minutes to arrive each time we ordered them. Our server was attentive without hovering and well versed in their food and beer selections. Our bill was pretty high due to having several alcoholic beverages. (See menu photo for meal pricing.) Definitely going to return!

All the appetizers were very good. My favorites were the brussel sprouts (very sweet) and the chips. Very accommodating restaurant! They hosted our large party. Food came out a little slow, I don't think they were prepared for us with staffing, we probably should have had 2 servers taking care of us. But the server we did have tried their best for the amount of people she had to serve. There were so many things on the menu I liked it was hard to decide.

We’ve been to this location several times…sometimes it’s a hit and sometimes it’s a miss. We keep going back because we like the location and the food is usually good, but drinks can be weak and flavorless. Today was a hit, the food was delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals, we started with the buffalo chicken egg rolls and I had a chopped salad with grilled shrimp, the star was the champagne dressing! The special purple mule was very weak, but the proceeds were for a good cause. The only issue was while dining outside, our friendly server seemed to forget about us at times.

Came in early Sunday afternoon. No crowd easy to seat 5. Was a bit disappointed on the brunch only menu. Service was ok. Food was food we had omelet, the French dip, hamburger, Buffalo rolls and gumbo. The set up is quaint.

My now husband and I had our rehearsal lunch at this restaurant and it was absolutely perfect! They made the entire process so easy and Tiffany their event manager was awesome! We were able to reserve an entire back part of the restaurant which had its own private bar! And the pricing was super reasonable. The food was so great and everyone loved it. It was such a great experience and I would highly recommend this place for any occasion but definitely for a private event!

Santa Fe Burger is one of my faves. Always love coming here. Good drinks too. Cuban, nachos, and tacos are also good.

What a bummer of an evening. Party of 7 was sat immediately. Ordered two pretzels for the table, they came out hot and fresh. Ordered a southwest bowl with chicken, pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries, Cobb salad with salmon, cheese burger, rigatoni with shrimp, Caesar salad with chicken, and a salad with shrimp. Waited a long time for the food. Place was not packed. No one running around. Drinks were never refilled. Pulled pork and fries were cold. Not room temp, cold. Rigatoni (15 noodles) had an $8 up charge for shrimp, there were 3. It was cold. Burger, cold- the once melted cheese had already begun to coagulate. Salads were good. Can’t imagine how long the food sat before it arrived to our table. Nasty. Spoke with waitress and manager. Pulled pork and rigatoni were taken off the bills, along with $10 off each bill (2 total). After spending over an hour and a half at the tavern, and having such a terrible food experience- we should have had to pay for anything other than the salads. Bathrooms had not been attended to. The place has potential with its pristine location, beautiful decor, and ample seating both inside and out. We will not return.
