Mcgrath's Tavern

Four star food with a five star waiter. I like to start with the bad and end with the good so stick with me until I tell you why you should go. Sitting down the place looked clean, bright, and comfortable. The table was a little sticky, I'm not sure if it needs to be refinished or cleaned. We started with the Irish Nachos which have a lot of potential; however, they weren't very hot and the flavor of the black olives stood out in a bad way. My salmon burger, and my wife's prime rib and mashed potatoes were acceptable. My french fries and my wife's squash were excellent. The real seller for me was Shawn, I've never had a waiter go so far to help his customers. When my wife asked for horseradish sauce Shawn went out back and made her some (also it was really good). He was polite, he was fast, and he was cheery. All in all I'd say head in, ask for Shawn, and get your Irish Nachos without black olives.

The food was great and so was the service. The menu seemed to have something for everyone. Decent beer list and sat a group of 16 quickly. The burgers are seared (a nice crispness, but not burned). I liked them, but some people didn't expect a burger like that and may have ordered something else of the large and varied menus. We'll go back next time in North Conway

We were pleasantly surprised at how good all of our meals were. We were expecting mediocre pub fare but instead we were offered a variety of options including a gluten free menu. I had salmon which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My friends had the prime rib special (excellent), grilled vegetable ravioli in a pink sauce (excellent) and the kids enjoyed their burgers. Service was great too.

Owners are so personable and lovely people. We feel like we are at home. Jim and Mary Ellen are friends we've know for decades, yet we just met them . Food is quite good too. Their son is the chef and he does a great job. Drinks are not stingy also. I highly recommend this place. We will be back.!!!

The food was delicious and the wait staff pleasant. We sat at the bar until a spot opened up on the deck. Tom The bar tender was great! Funny and personal. I think the wait staff forget about us and another table a few times ...but the view is great from the deck seating and the food really is AMAZING.

Great pot-roast dinner! I had the braised short rib special and it was excellent! My wife had the pot-roast and I tried it and was excellent as well. It's a pub atmosphere so don't expect a library. It's a lively place. That being said they have a nice staff, and a comfortable separate dining area if you don't want to eat in the bar.
