Macgregor Draft House

It always smells like a bar, even in the restaurant section.  But food menu has improved, and beer selection is for the lite-beer swilling crowd.  Thankfully they do have several local brews and micro brews.  great space for meeting after work!

We went on a very quiet Tuesday night because I was too tired to cook and I was craving french fries with gravy. This is one of the few places that don't look at you like you're crazy when you request it. I had a burger and my playmate-for-life had a PeCran chicken salad wrap. We both had fries and gravy and a Turbo Dog. Service was fast and friendly, the place was spotlessly clean, and the fries with gravy were perfect.

Working in Regency Park means having to explore Cary for lunch options and yeah, eventually Macgregor Draft House hit my radar screen!  A little bit pub and a little bit restaurant, MDH serves up your typical American bar fare with a slew of beers on tap.  Inside they've got a main dining room, small in-between spot for darts and games before you hit the bar/pub area.  Nothing too fancy, just think corporate beeratorium.  

I've been here twice, once for beers and the other time for lunch.  The most striking thing about MDH is the service.  They're built for speed and volume so they do know what they are doing.  I've had the fried pickle chips (generous basket) and a burger with cheddar and onion rings.  The burger was cooked medium well and had the barbeque sauce neatly tucked away on the bottom, although I thought they had forgotten it!  The food here is solid but nothing that will blow you away which is fine by me.  With the great service and wide selection of beers, I think MacGregor Draft House delivers exactly what it promises which is great for Cary locals looking for a casual meal....
