The absolute best steak house dinner I think I've ever had. I literally cut my steak with my fork. I ordered the bacon wrapped filet with cheesy au gratin potatoes. My boyfriend had the rib eye with cheesy au gratin potatoes. We had clam chowder (mind you I don't normally like clam chowder and this was delicious) and salad to start. Shout out to John, the chef, for making a meal that melted in our mouths. Great ambiance, excellent service. If you are in O'Brien, make sure you go to McGrew's! It's the best!

We had a wonderful dinner and drinks last Friday night at McGrews. I'll have to say we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our meal. We shared a half rack of ribs which was served with an appetizer plate, soup, salad and a choice of potato so there was plenty to fill us up with leftovers to boot! Luckily for us birthdays were being celebrated, so for desert we were gifted the most amazing chocolate-peanutbutter cupcakes you could imagine!After our meal we enjoyed playing pool and dancing to the DJs selections with the friendly local folks. We loved the atmosphere and the friendliness and excellent service from the staff made us feel very welcome. If you haven't tried McGrews yet you need to stop by for a great meal or just to wet your whistle! You pass right by on the way to or from the coast...

My family of four was on a road trip back home to Seattle when we stopped in O'Brien for gas and food. The market & deli across the street didn't have any non-junk food to feed our hungry kids for dinner so we wandered over to McGrew's. We didn't know we were walking in 5 minutes before closing, and would have completely understood if we'd been turned away. But the lone waitress, Vanessa, welcomed us in with a smile. Vanessa, whose personality sparkled as much as her glittery makeup, was an absolute delight and SO funny. She's the kind of small town waitress you read about in the great American novel. The one you remember years after the meal is over. The food was delicious and hand-delivered to our table by the chef and was devoured by us all. Next time we're passing through Oregon, we'll make it a point to eat here again. McGrew's is a real diamond in the rough.

This place is a classy blast from the past steak house!! Great food and fantastic service. Angelique is a superstar with the four course meal that comes with the steak dinner. My husband got the dinner and I helped him with his soup and salad. I got the steak sandwich with steak fries. If you love steak fries, this is the place to go!! Also you can't beat the candlelit table ambiance and even Andie's mints with your check. Looking forward to making this a regular stop anytime we are in the neighborhood.

I stopped in here with my family while on vacation. McGrew's restaurant and lounge has a nice ambiance. They definitely have great attention to detail. There's a bar next door if you want to get a drink.We had a bit of sticker shock so we stuck to some of the cheaper meals. A lot of us ordered the McGrew's steak, which is a sirloin. Everyone declared their steak was cooked perfectly, so kudos to whoever you have working the meat station in the back. The tomato zucchini soup was the bomb! Yes, I'm dating myself. LOL. But it was! I could have eaten just that and their salad with the house blue cheese (yum) and been quite happy. My husband was gushing over the picked beets and he never gushes over anything.The lady serving us was very attentive and patient with our group, so high scores on that also. Okay, so the reason for three stars. My opinion is that the prices were too high for the quality of the food. Everyone agreed the steaks were under seasoned and one of them had quite a bit of gristle in it. My brother said his steak kabobs had some gristle as well. The au gratin potatoes were pretty bland, which a bit more salt could have fixed or the addition of a sharper cheese. If you get the ribs, be aware the barbecue sauce used is a bit on the sweeter side, so if you prefer more of a tangy taste you may want to pass on those. That said, they were fall off the bone tender!I went back and forth on this review. Ultimately, if the prices had been a bit lower and the food quality a bit higher I would have given this restaurant a four. There is room for improvement here, but also several gems that are worth the experience.

You know your enjoying fine rural dining when the A/C cover falls off, crashes to the ground and no one bats an eye. Mother's Day, understaffed (as it was Valentine's Day), extremely slow, didn't get some of our order, Overdone prime rib and a wrangler miffed stressing everyone he couldn't get the Wi-Fi password right. Some grandma at the table closest to the A/C sending back three different $40 bottles of wine back after one taste. Dinner and a show. Maybe don't go or next time have dinner at Taylors. Their prime rib is 2/3 the cost and they have music!

Talk about not judging a book by its cover.....what a wonderful surprise! Super rough around the edges but the food was excellent and reasonably priced. With a little TLC and maybe some music to dine by this would be a 5 star review from me! We'll be back
