Mc Gees 72

Was here for an early dinner on Sunday afternoon with three girlfriends. We’ve eaten at Travino’s many times and loved it so we were anxious to try its replacement. Our waitress was very friendly and allowed us ample time to look over the menu and make our decisions. I was given a taste of a popular pinot noir which I really liked, but at $ 11 a glass I only had one. Dinner took a long time to arrive. .. I’d say at least half an hour after we ordered. I requested the pork tenderloin and knew immediately something was wrong when I had difficulty cutting it with a steak knife. It was the toughest pork tenderloin I’ve ever had – dried out and way over-​cooked. I did something I NEVER do and sent it back asking for a hamburger in its place. My hamburger did arrive very quickly so I could still eat dinner with my companions. The burger was average. No comp on my bill for my inconvenience, no apologies from the chef for the overcooked food or offer of a free dessert – nothing. I didn’t expect anyone to fall all over me, but a simple «I’m sorry» would have been nice. Oh. .. and after our waitress served our meals she told us she was sick and had been fighting strep throat for months. Great! I won’t be going back any time soon.

Friendly staff, great burgers, comfortable atmosphere.
Must visit while in the area.

Food here is pretty tasty. Prices are a little more than average, but the food has stayed consistent. The onion soup is hands down the best in Traverse city to my knowledge and I have tried most if them. The bar side has some good lunch and happy hour food specials.

Amazing burgers, atmosphere, everything was top notch. Highly recommend the blue cheese crusted!

New Years Eve dinner here was nice. Ordered a NY strip it came as ordered. Server was attentive. Left full and happy with the portions for the price. Would recommend to friends.

Had to try this place since it used to be a different restaurant we loved. We were not disappointed! The décor was pleasing and fresh plus nice views of the golf course below. The staff was very friendly and efficient. There were so many things we wanted on the menu but ended up having the Portobello Burger. It was delicious as was the pasta side dish. My hubby had the highly recommended bacon burger which he loved and devoured. We can’t wait to go back for the gourmet grilled cheese sandwich and the tomato bisque soup! The prices are reasonable PLUS they have happy hour prices all day in the bar area. This is a place you need to try!!!

My wife and I went out for our anniversary dinner last night. We decided to try McGee’s72. We were rushed through ordering by the rudest server I’ve ever come across. She had chicken with Gouda and pasta and enjoyed it. I had the veal meatloaf and the server brought it out with his attitude and apologized because there were no onion rings on top. It was 2 slices of their veal meatloaf on top of mashed potatoes one was very over cooked the other was on top for everyone to see. He brought 2 lousy onion rings over on a plate and just slid them on a plate by me halfway though our meal. He checked on us once but seemed bothered. Never asked us if we needed anything else or dessert and just gave us our check. We will never be back.

Loved it! It was my family day to be vegetarian. So we tried the bruschetta, the risotto tater tots, the goat cheese salad, the grilled cheese, portobello sandwich and tomato bisque. Everything was outstanding, great view of the golf course. Server was very attentive!

Fantastic food. Had the fillet, wife had the veal meatloaf. Exquisite! Good service, fine wine and draught. Life is good!

Really torn by this review. I love the bar menu and pricing but the regular dinner menu is very different. I am sure it is good, but some of the same items are much cheaper in the bar. Bar gets a big ol 5, restuarant side a 3…

Love this place! Had sriracha shrimp pasta. Absolutely fabulous. My husband had perch which was also great! Matt was a very attentive and friendly server. Asked bartender if they had a razzmartini which wasn’t on menu and he and the manager worked one up. This place definitely deserves 5 stars for both food and staff. Seriously a must every time we visit northern Michigan.

Stopped in for a quick bite, sat on the patio with a great view of the golf course. The risotto tots were to die for and the bruschetta was pretty awesome too. All three of us had burgers that, while were over done, were still juicy and delicious. Service was great as well.

I ordered Coconut shrimp. Yum.
Fillet mignon is on the kids menu! My daughter loved it.
Everything was beautifully presented. Atmosphere was friendly and comfortable.
We usually don’t get dessert, but splurged on the key lime pie. Mmmm. Worth it. (It was served on a chilled plate and even the forks we chilled). We will definitely be going back to try something else.

Had lunch at McGees today. French onion soup and Caesar salad. My husband had the Cobb salad. All were prepared well and with an appetizing presentation. I would suggest the menu explain the various lettuces in the Cobb as he found some of it to be bitter. (a very small complaint really). Our service was wonderful and we will definitely try them again for dinner this time. Hope the first impression is the lasting one! Oh and there was actually Rum in our Rum and Cokes, unlike other places I could name.

I sat in the bar area every time I’ve been here. Happy hour is awesome. Great deals. I’ve had the Thai wraps. They are so good I could lick the bowl. The boneless wings are tasty. They have a different breading on them that makes them unique. The bruschetta is good from what I’ve heard. I don’t like tomatoes so I can’t say. From the menu I’ve tried the duck and waffles. Sooooo good. The blue cheese dip is made with bacon drippings. Need I say more? Well, I will– AWESOME! Had the sorelina salad. It was ok. The spinach leaves are hard to stab with a fork. I just don’t work that hard to eat a salad, sorry. My in-​laws ordered the lobster mac and cheese, some seafood thing with mussels and stuff in it, and the salmon, and a pasta dish with smoked cheese and asparagus (can’t remember what it was called). By far the salmon was the best I’ve had in a restaurant. The pasta was really good too. So glad to see a restaurant back in this location. Hope it stays!

Came to the happy hour tonight. A nice menu including boneless wings, nachos, burger and bruschetta. Specials on a few beer pints too (bud light, PBR, Miller Lite for $ 2.50, well drinks and domestic bottles for $ 3 and house wine for $ 5.50. It was a nice variety for a happy hour… which goes all day every day. The food was good. The drinks were too. Give McGees a try. Enjoy!

Great staff tonite, great food and wine. I had the Cobb salad and wine tonite, other party had prime ribs.

Rating for the bar area only! We came to take advance of the happy hour and goodness… I’m sure glad we did! Right now they have happy hour all day, every day at the bar. Hubs enjoyed $ 3 well drinks and I had a $ 5 glass of tasty red. We were blown away by the bruschetta and the boneless wings. The bruschetta was so tasty — garlicky and sitting top of fustini’s 18 year balsamic. The boneless wings were just the right temp (I’m wimpy) and were served with some sort of blue cheese saucy thing that was so good I almost drank it. I can’t wait to try out the dinner menu!
Great food, great service and great location!
