    We love coming to McCleary’s. The food and the drinks are always on point. For drinks we had a Cosmo and a Dirty Martini. For dinner we had the Dublin Lawyer (sautéed shrimp, with crab and mushrooms, and a cream sauce with rice and vegetables)and Pan Seared Salmon with asparagus. Everything is good!

    While we were eating, our waitress walked past our table multiple times without stopping to ask if we needed anything and we had to finally flag her down to beg for more drinks. Also, the fish and chips are touted as the top five in the country but I was not impressed. The chips were the frozen kind and to be at the top of my list, I need them to be fresh cut. I don’t have to drive all the way to Marietta for this average food and lousy service.

    We had a wonderful early evening date night together. We went totally Irish by eating Sheperd's pie and Bangers and mash with Smithwick beers. Great service in a classic Irish Pub setting, so relaxing.

    What a great find! Had a wonderful business lunch on their back covered patio in this quaint off the beaten track gem. We all shared the famous fish and chips which was spot on. Two of us ordered the innovative summer salad, me with salmon and mine with their burger patty. Last gust had the chx caesar salad. Great lunch, great spot. Look forward to returning
