We live in Cumming but are season subscribers to the Aurora Theater. We always enjoy eating at McCray's when we come over to Lawrenceville for a show. Service and food are consistently good!

It was my first time at McCrays and I'm willing to write it off as a bad day, but our service was awful. We ordered our drinks fairly quickly. It took 25 minutes before we had all of our drinks and were able to place our order. It took another 10 minutes to get sweetener for the coffee. It was another 40 minutes (so over an hour total) before we got our food. And some of it was served cold. There was another lengthy wait to get our check so we could pay and leave. The food itself was good, but the long delays at every turn ruined the experience.

In preparation for my opportunity to dine at McCray’s, I viewed the menu online and looked at a couple of videos featuring the restaurant. I went for the smashed burger and was amazed at the quality and taste of the burger. I would recommend McCray’s for the excellent food, quality customer service coupled with the value for money cost. Great dining experience at McCray’s.

We fine on the rooftop on a Tuesday night. While it wasn’t super busy, there is no bartender on the roof on Tuesdays and the wait staff had to run up and down the steps to get all drinks and the food. Made for some delays, but food and drinks were good. Patio was nice but shakes when people walk on it.
