Mccray's Tavern Midtown

Their gluten free bun option was the best I've ever had, idk if they just actually toasted it correctly or if it was a different kind of bread than I usually get but it was SO delicious! I ordered their Smash burger - I'm not going to lie, I've never had a smash burger before - but this was absolutely delicious. My partner devoured his in like 3 minutes so it's safe to say he enjoyed his as well. Loved the atmosphere in there too, just super chill, clean, great for families or big groups and also perfect for couples to grab a quick meal before a show. Highly recommend

Visited 12/19/23. Cool little spot with a great burger. Really liked how the place was set up inside with the different levels/areas. Got the Sante Fe burger and my wife got the smash burger on a gluten free bun. Both were spectacular. Bun was toasted well, meat cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely. Service was quick as well which was appreciated as we were headed to a show at Central Stage. I would definitely come back!

We happen to visit McCray's Tavern on a Thursday evening and it is all night $6 well drinks, also white claws are $6.50 each. The drinks were good at the discount price. Ariel was our bartender and she was fun to talk to along with prompt attentive service. We had the margherita flatbread, sweet potato fries and the salmon BLT. All were very good and tasty! The bar atmosphere is friendly and we talked to others while sitting at the bar. The location, midtown ,felt safe and was close to our hotel. It is worth checking it out.

With the hostess, while there were many tables available in the restaurant, we were taken to a booth direct in front of the bathroom area/hallway. I personally wouldn't consider that's the best seating in the house, I wish the hostess would ask if that table/booth was okay before assigning it to any guests. With our server, although professional, we didn't feel the genuineness with our server. Food was okay, portions were okay (could be a bit more generous). Restaurant got busy and pretty occupied ~11am already. Seems like a popular spots. Lots of people with NFL jerseys. We didn't park in their parking garage, so I can't common on the parking and validation process. There are a few parking spots (free?!) in front of the restaurants (13th st). Overall, I may consider give this place another try when we are in the area.

We've been twice while in town. The first time we got to sit in the upper area and the TVs were muted. The second the TVs were full volume even for the commercials so a little less pleasant. Overall the food was excellent bar fare. The summer salad with a little chicken was excellent as were the fish and chips. Solid gluten free options as well.

What a fun place. Would have given 5 stars; however, the hostess was less than personable and acted like she wanted to be any place but at work. Once we were seated it took almost 15 minutes for our waitress to come and greet us. Once she did, she was great. The Makers Mark Old Fashioned was spot on. I had the chopped salad with blackened salmon and it was divne. Mom had the Cobb salad and wings and thought it was really good too. If you want a fun casual place to hang out, I would definitely recommend. Fun atmosphere.

As a busy real estate broker, I love knowing I can walk right next door and get consistent service and quality tasty food. They always welcome me and my fellow agents with a smile. Stop buy and let them know RealtorRob suggested that southwest bowl with roasted pork - you won't regret it. Thank you for always taking great care of my Berkshire Hathaway Midtown‼️
