East Cobb: Try a Tavern Lunch
Looking to try something different for lunch? Whether you're catching a break from work or headed out to explore East Cobb, McCray's Tavern is serving up the freshest tavern lunch in Marietta, every day of the week!
What is tavern food?
What makes a tavern different from a neighborhood bar? While bars and taverns both sell alcohol, a tavern also sells food similarly to a restaurant. Historically, taverns were establishments where travelers could stop for rest, food, and drink while traveling on the road. They provided a communal place to rest and fortify before continuing the journey, where many people meant many mouths, and lots of customers to keep happy. For that reason, the food served in taverns would be hearty, simple, and of course, delicious. Today, there are no hitching posts or carriage houses out front, but McCray's Tavern is still the perfect gathering spot for busy people on the go.
What to Order for a Tavern Lunch
Stop by for lunch at McCray's Tavern and enjoy great tavern food before heading out to wherever you're going next! It’s fuel for your day, and it’s served up quickly to get you there faster. Try one of our favorites, the tavern dip, which features our lightly toasted French roll, piled high with shaved slow-roasted prime rib, and topped with caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, and homemade horseradish cream. Served with fresh au jus for dipping, this traditional tavern fare is guaranteed to hold you over all afternoon. Or try the fish and chips, with crispy beer batter served with homemade tartar sauce and field-fresh coleslaw. This classic tavern combo is still a popular tavern lunch option across the pond, as well as right here in Marietta. Another great recommendation, the Tony Rigatoni, features fresh pasta tossed with grilled mushrooms and our own house vodka sauce, then topped with your protein of choice for a delicious meal to power you through the day.
