I was enjoying my first experience at McCray’s till the young man got on the microphone and started playing a trivial game. He was so loud we couldn’t hear each other speak so instead of buying another drink we decided to leave. He voice over the speakers was unbearable. Everything else was fine. Good food and good service.
