“ Decided to sit at the bar, and we were not disappointed! Dee was a hoot! Food was delicious! Wings, chicken soup, rice ball and bam bam shrimp! To die for! Beer was ice cold and got refilled quickly and Dee was awesome! ”
“ I ordered the fish fry dinners, side salad and chicken fingers with fries. We couldn't be more impressed. The food was outstanding. We have tried so many places for the fish fry and this was by far one of the best I've ever had. The salad was fresh and the fries were so delicious. The service was great. Very friendly and we didn't have to wait even though it was very busy. We will definitely go back again and again. ”
“ Best time ever! We are from out of town, and wanted to watch the NCAAF Championship game. This place was amazing. The bartender was awesome. All other patrons were great people! Place is off the beaten path, but is a hidden gem. Plenty of TVs, specials, awesome chicken wings, and great prices! ”
“ We have been coming here for years and actually our sports teams have meals here quite often as well. Last night we came in and enjoyed fish fys for dinner and Michelle K. Was our server. She was great and was the only server in the dining room. She definitely had her hands full, with a large birthday party table in the center, along with several other tables as well. The food and service were great & as always, we look forward to the next time. ”
“ This is a fun local neighborhood bar and pub. I went here with a small party for dinner and the beers were well priced and the food was good with many options from sandwiches to pizza. They also had good salads. It's also a good place to watch the sports with many TVs and there is an upstairs and a downstairs with plenty of seating and games like pool, darts and some arcade games. Lots of good draft beer to choose from. My favorite is the scotch ale. ”
“ Great fish fry with nice crisp tator tots, coleslaw, and delicious tartar sauce! Friendly waitress in a very fun environment. Something for everyone, good music, darts, tvs, and an assortment of other games to entertain. Restaurant is in a separate area from the bar, which is nice if you’re looking for more of a restaurant environment while you eat. ”
“ Had a coupon for 10 bucks off a burger if you buy a burger at Mc Ginny’s. So we dropped in. I am a coupon crazy person. I only go out to eat if I have one. That being said, I have to say that it was absolutely the best burger I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly and served with a smile by Mary Ann. We will definitely be returning again, with or without a coupon!!! P.S. The tater tots were also fabulous. ”
“ Overall everything is great! If anyone wants a birthday special they have great wings and sauce options. 20 free wings for your birthday with a purchase ofcourse. I got a basket of fries and Bam Bam Shrimp also and was made to satisfaction. The two wing sauces were garlic parm and hot honey. (Prefer wings extra crispy ) Second picture I got the appetizer sampler ”
