Fix up Belle Gade first, Menu and Decore is much needed before expanding.

We ate at McGrady's this past Monday and was very disappointed. I told my wife I would never go back. Now maybe I understand why the food was so bad, they did not care anymore.

With new owners and a new menu I will give them a try again.

My wife, her sister and brother and I ate there a couple months after they opened. Totally disappointed, never went back.

Been there a few times and enjoyed them all. Sorry to see the concept go. Nothing against FMK but feel a little more competition would be good.

Went to McGrady's over a year ago. Was OK but not worth going back at their pricing. Many people have told me the same thing.

Good. They seem to know what they're doing.

Someone said they will no longer provide a waitress to run drinks out to those listening to bands outside.

I agree 100 % about the food which was overpriced and not very good. Also had a very unimpressive menu. Hopefully have happy hour for alcohol drinks and hire some friendly servers.

I agree with you to a point. Why can’t we be also wonder about small things that happen around here. Life is full of devastation and misery if you dwell on it. Maybe having a server come to you makes life a little more pleasant not to mention the servers may get a little bigger tip that helps them.
There are ways we can have both sometimes.

Can anyone name me an FMK restaurant that’s any good? We’ve tried 6 of them in our 3 months here. So far we have been very disappointed with anything beyond a burger.

I am hoping they totally revamp the menu and offer more variety. We probably visited McGrady's 5 times and really did not find anything that we wanted to try again. The food was OK but not good. I am worried from what I read that they will just vary the current menu slightly in which case I will be really disappointed!
