McCoy's Place Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Colerain Township

My husband and I went here last night looking for a new pub to try. Let me tell you, this place is homey, affordable, and delicious.

Starting with my order, I got the Fish and Fries ($10). The fish is Mahi Mahi, which I've never had but I love fish and chips so I tried it. I'm not sure if this kind of fish is generally more dense than cod but it was almost like a chicken nugget/tender. Not in a bad way, it was still VERY juicy and fresh. If I had to change anything, it would be the ratio of batter to fish. I prefer a very thick breading, but that's just me. Fries were very crisp and well seasoned.... I had to eat them all and leave no crumbs! The mashed potatoes and gravy ($4) were SO good. They slathered the gravy on there so you had some for every bite of potatoes. I also got a Bahama Mama which was only $6 (WHAT?!). It was made PERFECTLY, and believe me, I am a Bahama Mama expert. Overall, the meal was delicious, affordable, hot, crispy, and juicy.

For my husband's meal, he got a burger (can't seem to remember the name at the moment) with onion rings ($10 total) and a Blue Hawaiian cocktail ($6). He told me the burger was juicy and well seasoned. It had flavor aside from the toppings which is a BIG factor, in my opinion. I did try one of his onion rings and it could have been hotter, but the crunch helped me oversee that. As for his cocktail, I ended up finishing it off since he had to drive and him and I both thought it was very smooth and balanced. He was very satisfied with his meal.

As for the environment, it was very bar-centered with the whole bar full of people talking and having a good time. The table-top seating area itself is a bit small but I never mind that because it gives a homey vibe (I LOVE that). I do wish, though, that there was a more visible "seat yourself" sign. We came in and had no idea what to do so we sat ourselves anyway, which I thought we were being rude to do since I didn't see a sign. Also, there was good music playing that everyone could sing along to - both old and new songs. As for our waitress, she was very nice but I think she was bit newer since she didn't know some of the substitution options. She was still very kind and attentive though.

In sum, I highly recommend checking this place out. When I say it's affordable AND delicious, please...

I liked the atmosphere. The waitress was nice. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger med rare, plain with mayo on the side. And some wings. The wings were very chewy. Tasty but chewy. The burger came without bacon and burnt. Even the bun was burned to a crisp. I started to look around for a hidden camera. But there was none. I was not on a funny candid camera type of TV show. I was actually pretty floored. But I kept my composure and waited until the waitress asked if we needed anything. I asked for some bacon for my burger, she said no problem and brought me a paper plate with two slices of bacon. This bacon had a nice smokey flavor to it, but it was super tough like jerkey. I was thankful it was not already on the burger. I enjoyed the laid back country type of hometown feel this place has. But they really need a...

I didn't get to take pictures the food was too good! I ordered chicken livers and the special was meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans. My wife had wings and pretzel bites. We just drank beer and wine. Food was delicious. I barely had scraps but I took them with me. The wait staff was friendly and professional. We stuck out like sore thumbs two black lesbians in an unpretentious biker bar... But they did their best. Everyone that spoke was pleasant, just a few curious stares. The bar/pub is reminiscent of the old school dives. I loved everything about it. The decor, the food, the drinks, the patrons. Will recommend and will definitely be going back 💕

Took my little Sister. She loved the food...
