New “Southern Specialities” Menu Boasts Pork Chops, Fried Shrimp

Shrimp & Grits

Two things make the south great in our minds: the people and the food. With some dishes, a single bite can take us back home to the friends and memories we love most. This fall, we're bringing all new Southern Specialties to your table at McCray's Tavern Lawrenceville, and today, we're digging in!


Smothered Pork Chop

Our smothered pork chop is slightly seasoned and perfectly grilled before smothered with rich Southern gravy. Served atop mashed potatoes and alongside seasonal vegetables, this southern food sensation will take you back to Sunday dinner with the family. This dish pairs perfectly with bold cocktails or a robust red wine.


Meat Loaf

We love a great meatloaf. Just like Mama used to make, this tender Southern specialty features prime ground beef baked with bread crumbs to achieve a velvety texture. Warm and toasted, this homestyle meal is perfect for cooler weather and will warm you up from the inside out. Of course, it's served with our own homemade mashed potatoes and fresh, tender broccolini.


Fried Shrimp Platter

Plump and delicate jumbo shrimp are expertly breaded and flash fried until hot and crispy. Crunchy on the outside, bursting with flavor, this tasty meal is all about fresh, Southern coastal flavors. Our platter comes with homemade french fries, crunchy coleslaw, and a spicy, creamy jalapeno remoulade for dunking. Try it with a pint of our beer of the month!
