Savor Our Delicious Outdoor-Friendly Menu

Dining al fresco is all about enjoying fresh, flavorful dishes that complement the vibrant summer atmosphere. At McCray’s Tavern, our menu is designed with outdoor dining in mind. Here are some of our top picks:


Southwest Bowl

Our Southwest Bowl is a burst of flavors, perfect for a light yet satisfying meal. It features a blend of rice, black beans, corn, pico, and crispy tortilla ribbons, all tossed in a zesty chipotle aioli. With your choice of either chicken, roasted pork, shrimp, or steak, this is a dish that’s as fresh as it is delicious, making it ideal for enjoying under the summer sun.


Tavern Salad

For those who prefer a crisp, refreshing option, our Tavern Salad is a fantastic choice. Packed with mixed greens, pepperoncini, cucumber, feta, croutons, and cherry tomatoes, topped with your choice of protein, it’s a versatile dish that caters to all tastes. The tangy house-made red wine vinaigrette adds a delightful finish that will leave your taste buds singing.


Tavern Tacos

Our Tavern Tacos are a fan favorite, perfect for a quick bite or a satisfying meal. Choose from a variety of fillings including grouper, chicken, or roasted pork, all served with fresh toppings and a side of our signature salsa. These tacos are bursting with flavor and are perfect for sharing or savoring on your own.


Grouper Sandwich

For a hearty yet refreshing option, try our Grouper Sandwich. The grouper is lightly blackened or breaded and fried to perfection, served on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, and our special tartar sauce. It’s a taste of the sea right here in Lawrenceville, and it pairs beautifully with our summer drink specials.



Refresh with Our Expertly Crafted Summer Drinks

No al fresco dining experience is complete without a refreshing drink in hand. At McCray’s Tavern, our expertly crafted drink menu offers the perfect companions to our summer dishes.


Pineapple Daiquiri

Our Pineapple Daiquiri is a tropical delight that’s perfect for sipping on a warm day. Made with fresh pineapple juice, Plantation Pineapple rum, and a splash of coconut and lime, it’s a sweet and tangy drink that will transport you to a beachside paradise.


Spiked Strawberry Lemonade

For something equally refreshing, try our Spiked Strawberry Lemonade. This drink combines the classic flavors of strawberry shrub and McCray’s lemonade with a kick of Bustletown vodka, making it a perfect summer cocktail.
