My husband and I finally made it to McGreiveys. I haven’t been here in YEARS. we got here early. Like 3pm. I had a blueberry mule and my husband got a beer. We had the calamari (tender, crispy, delicious), black and blue burger (juicy and flavorful) and the corn flake chicken tenders (amazing!!!). Everything was as good as I remembered. Delicious food made fresh. I hardly got pictures bc my husband was hungry and ravenous.

McGreiveys is a fantastic spot! The bartender was charismatic and funny, adding to the fun atmosphere. I had the spinach artichoke chicken with rice and veggies, and the green beans were perfectly crispy and hot. The sauce for the chicken was delicious! They also had Genesee at a great price, and it’s just a short walk from the marina. Highly recommend!

They have a varied menu which made it hard to choose. So many great dishes. Got the Jambala which was dinner size huge and the turkey with mashed potatoes and hot gravy. Lots of left overs! Rice pudding for desert was excellent. Really nice inside the restaurant, good size bar area as well. We're definitely going back and try othrt offering. Friendly and attentive staff with team approach. Our server Liz was especially nice.

McGreivey's is a hidden gem, my goodness, everything was fresh, divine, and mouth watering. Their kitchen cooks 90% of the food from scratch. I ate my dinner there around 3-4pm on a Saturday, dining room not busy, servers were very nice and down to Earth and don't check on you too often, as to let you enjoy your meal, they are good with the refills. I will definitely be going here more often, going forward. Outstanding. (Pictured is French onion soup, hearty, rich, crunchy topping, Perfect, 2nd sirloin steak salad with balsamic dressing, steak tasted fresh off the grill, all the flavors marry well in this salad, 3rd was the Irish soda bread bread pudding accompanied by vanilla ice cream and drizzle of caramel.... Safe to say I finished every last morsel)

McGreivey's was a wonderful venue for us to have our baby shower a few weeks ago. Liz and her team made sure we had everything we needed, and they were so easy to work with leading up to the day. They are closed on Sundays except for private parties, so we were the only group there and it was really wonderful to not have tons of other people around. It was also one of the most affordable options we found in the capital region - perfect for a party of 40-50! The food (we had a brunch buffet) was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend the scalloped potatoes be part of any menu or meal you get there - one of the best dishes I've ever had! Will definitely be considering them if we need a venue for an event - or even just for dinner!

After a long hike and kayak situation today we got hungry!! The endless scroll though Google suggested this place. When I walked in I wasn't over the moon about the look however, it was clean and quiet for a nice lunch meal. Our server and bartender Ryan was excellent, checking on us frequently and suggesting sauces for dipping (your boy loves to dip). We started with legit calamari with the tentis (tentacles) like I love!! Sauteed after in spicy peppers and garlic it was delicious, great way to start the experience. I then had the classic burger with bacon and sauteed onions as well as the house cut fries, they were delicious. The second meal was the crispy eggplant sandwich served on a nice brioche roll!! Everything including the drinks were delicious, these service was great and I find myself wanting to hike just so I have an excuse to eat here! You won't be sorry.. a great spot with great food!!
