for guests to enjoy

cCray’s Tavern M West Village location has been a staple in the Smyrna/ Vinings community for the last thirteen years. While the concept has grown, adapted and evolved over the last decade, McCray’s mission to be a top-notch hangout for Smyrna/Vinings locals has remained constant. Steadfast in their commitment to community outreach and involvement, the restaurant group works directly with various nonprofit organizations throughout the year. McCray’s has also taken steps above and beyond those required in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A three-step sanitization process, professional sterilization, the removal of tables and bar stools as well as staff sanitization training are just some of the measures the Smyrna location has implemented to ensure the safety of their valued guests and greater community.

McCray’s Tavern strives to go beyond typical tavern fare, offering garden-fresh salads and chef inspired entrées made with seasonal local vegetables, as well as mouth-watering burgers and elevated sandwiches. This year, the Smyrna McCray’s location added a smoker to their dog-and-family-friendly patio so patrons can see and smell their dePAGE 8

licious “from the smoker” menu items while they cook low and slow throughout the day.

McCray’s Tavern recently welcomed esteemed Chef Matthew Ratcliffe to their corporate team to help advance McCray’s Tavern to the next level of casual dining.

“I want McCray’s to be a spot for a quick fresh business lunch and also a place to relax with a nice filet and great bourbon selection,” said owner Scott McCray.

New menu items coming soon to the Smyrna West Village location, including Steak Frites, with local cuts from Revere Meat Co., as well as Gulf Shrimp and Popcorn Grits, a delicious modern spin on the classic southern coastal dish. On the weekend, McCray’s is serving up new brunch items, including a revamped Chicken and Waffles, and a Southern Style Breakfast Eggs Benedict complete with fried green tomato, roasted pork, and bbq hollandaise.

Brunch can be enjoyed with a McCray’s Bloody Mary from 11 AM – 3 PM on Saturday and Sunday.

As a fixture in the greater Atlanta area, McCray’s Tavern looks forward to growing with Smyrna and offering a safe inviting place for guests to enjoy fresh, made-from-scratch meals, with local small-batch breweries, craft cocktails and weekly happenings for all ages.
