Usually have enjoyed food at McCrays. First time for breakfast and all four of us voted it average. Nothing to make it memorable. Still really enjoy the space. Great service from Tiffany our server. Also Erin at the bar was a lot of fun!!!

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.
