I believe the main issue at McCalls with slow service results mostly from a very small kitchen. Years ago, even before the population explosion south of 44, the kitchen could not handle a full crowd because they don't have the physical capacity to cook that much food in a short amount of time.

The restaurant is co-located with the bowling alley. However, once the doors are closed, you cannot hear the noise from the allies. The restaurant is completely separate from the allies, having its own servers and kitchen.

I have heard some good music at McCalls and the food was ok. Hope they don’t change too much!

Try the fried chicken. Worth the extra wait time. Absolutely terrific!

I’ve been here for over ten years. When I first got here I heard about the famous fried chicken dinner at McCalls. So after a few years I decided to try it. Sorry to say, it was awful. I was shocked at how bad it. Lots of overcooked pieces of batter and burnt chicken. Honestly the best fried chicken I’ve had came from Publix. I’m glad that Bills fans have a place to go to watch their games and be together but the food was not very good. Maybe the new owners will improve on that.

Default Chicken

McCalls 2017 had the best fried chicken in the area BUT you knew you would sit for around 30 minutes for them to cook it

Does the new owner still offer a free dinner on your birthday?

Reminds me of a movie I saw where a con man had 365 driver's licenses for that purpose.
