Mc Coy's Place - Cincinnati

Irish pot roast dinner was awesome. The pot roast was very tender and carrots had a lot of flavor.

We carried out an early dinner from here and it was just OK. It was about 4:30 and the parking lot was already beginning to fill up with a number of people joining those already at the bar, so it's obvious it's a popular local choice. The menu offers a lot of appetizers, wings, sandwiches and hoagies, burgers, wraps and various main dishes like fried shrimp and pork chops. Some of the main dishes are available in a smaller portion for senior citizens. They also have specials nightly including meatloaf and steak night. I wanted to try their Irish pot roast that now comes with mashed potatoes and gravy (vs the former new potatoes, carrots and the kind of dinner rolls you buy in a cardboard container stuck together in one block. The menu listed on Yelp shows a second pot roast dish over toast as well. I so wanted to like this dish as pot roast is my favorite. While the meat was very tender just like you make at home, it had an odd sweet taste that seemed to come from the gravy and some other kind of taste I couldn't place. A liberal amount of gravy was served over everything, which I normally would've appreciated. The carrots were well-cooked and tender, but the mashed potatoes tasted like instant to both me and my husband. Not something I would order again and after a few bites I passed it on to my husband. He got the fried fish and fries. He liked that the fish was cut into tender size and said the taste was fine. The fries were just OK, kind of mushy without too much taste. I imagine lots of people come here as a place to hang out at the bar versus having dinner. Maybe other food choices would have been better picks.

Fun atmosphere and the service is impeccable even with large crowds. I have tried everything from the fish and chips to the ribeye and have never been disappointed.

Good food and waitresses staff wonderful patio large parking Good family place to eat nice patio

Great service, friendly and accommodating server. We all had good food, chicken salad sandwich, ribeye, chicken tenders, and quesadillas. Feel like we tried it all! Fair pricing, other customers were pleasant. We enjoyed our experience and will be back!
