McGrath’s Pub & Eatery

*** I’m editing this review after my second visit. Again the burgers are outstanding but it’s hard to enjoy them when everyone in the bar smokes. Seriously, it’s 2016 who allows people to smoke in an eating establishment?!
1^st time. Had the Joe Bob burger. Outstanding! Absolutely cooked to perfection, flavorful, delicious.
Which made the stale chips tossed on the plates disappointing. Great burger with a lazy move.
…oh and it’s almost 2016 and you can smoke in McGraths! So while you enjoy that delicious burger with stale chips you have the privilege of sucking in second hand smoke!
Also, if you are in a wheelchair be prepared for high tables and kindergarten lap tray service.
On second thought it might be best to order the burger to go, hold the stale chips.

We went to McGrath’s on a recommendation. We went this morning for wings. When we got there, we were the only people in the restaurant aside from the bartender. We put in our order shortly after arriving — we got there at 12:20.
After a few minutes, the bartender informed us that they were cleaning out the fryer and that it would be 15 – 20 minutes, which is fine.
Our food finally came out after an hour, which was disappointing because we were so hungry (and the only people there).
We got the sample platter (mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, three wings, onion rings, and battered mushrooms), 10 medium buffalo wings, and 10 «BTS» wings, along with an order of fries.
The sample platter was OK — the mozzarella sticks were just OK. We got the wings with the Gold Fever sauce which had mustard in it and was tasty.
The wings were a bit disappointing. The buffalo sauce was fairly generic and the BTS sauce wasn’t as flavorful as I imagined (it has garlic and bleu cheese but didn’t really taste like it).
The fries were actually the star of the show! Big order and crunchy!
The waitress was very attentive and nice, which earns this place a couple of stars. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I didn’t love it, especially as compared to some of the other wings places in the area.

Excellent chicken wings with a good sauce selection. However, their drink selection is absurdly expensive for a small bar so we do not frequent this place as often as we would like. Unfortunately, we have also had issues with some not-​so-​courteous bar staff.

I have been coming to mcgraths for many years. The service was the #1 reason. They have a waitress named Colleen. She was the best I’ve ever seen. She wouldn’t let a glass get empty and always knew what you wanted before you ordered.
I just found out they fired her. I don’t know why but I will not be back. They lost a customer for life. Service suffered due to the loss of Colleen.

The wings here are huge and done to perfection. Meaty, crispy, juicy, and sauced perfectly. The way wings should be. No need to go anywhere else. Don’t make a big ass trip up to Buffalo, New York to the Anchor (home if the original buffalo wing) for the original wings, save your money, Monday nights are wing nights! Get some beer at the bar and get busy!
If I’m wrong– I’m lying
The bar is barely lit so bring whomever you’d like.

Visited recently on a Thursday evening. Great burger (Joe Bob Burger), ice cold draft and very friendly environment. Will return.

Visited here for quick lunch so this review is not for night life. The wings are great. Excellent sauce with just the right kick. They ran out of chop meat so no burgers were available. Tried the Texas cheesesteak w/​everything on it. Flavors were good but the wings are def the way to go in this place. As for the chicken pizza. We were very disappointed as it seemed more like Ellio’s w/​a thicker crust. I’m not trying to knock this place as regulars may be offended but as a true New Yorker stay away from the pizza for sure and once again stick w/​the wings and you’ll hv a great experience.

My friends Chris & Chrissy brought us here for beers and wings the other night. The wings kicked our butt, the burgers were beautiful, and the beer cold and delicious. The bartender was honest when he told us that the guinness was running foamy so I didn’t order it, and I would have. So I appreciate his candor.
We’ll be back the next time I go through Dalton on my way west. And we’ll kick the wings’ asses for sure.
