“What a come back!”

McT's Shrimp House & Tavern

After what seems like a hundred dinners at McT's through the 30 years of visiting Sanbiel, I had given up. Always the first evening dinner upon arrival to the island. Those days were over until this summer. Wow, what an incredible change. The staff are very professional, the chef can be seen checking on the front of the house, our hostess Beth , is so gracious and professional that we knew we were in for a great evening.

Before being seated we enjoyed a cocktail in the newly remodeled bar. Bartender Mark was very attentive and professional as well. I felt like we had gone back to the best of times at McT's.

The fried mushrooms are outstanding, the seafood was very fresh and the draft beer is very cold. Definitely a locals watering hole and a great place to relax and watch the large TV in the bar.

Give McT's another visit if it has been a while. You will see a renewed effort to serve and provide you with a sense of appreciation for your business.

We stopped into McT's late one night, hoping the kitchen was still serving dinner! Lucky us, they were! This was probably the best meal of our entire week. There were six in our party and we had, sauteed shrimp, butterflied shrimp, McT's Catch all, Pasta primavera, (which was excellent for non-seafood eaters) Caesar Salad with blackened chicken and Ribs. The waitress was attentive, although very difficult to understand her english. I felt horrible that we had to ask her to repeat things many times. The food was very good, no complaints and no take home containers because we ate every morsel!

Our family group enjoyed this resturant recently. Good variety on the menu and the service was excellent - the waitress listened carefully to our questions, responded thoughtfully and had a great attitude. When one of our orders was sold out, we were quickly informed and a substitute recommended. The food was well prepared and there were no surprises - just what we expected. Kids, parents and grandparents were all happy.

“Awesome Cajun Shrimp -- all you can eat”

McT's Shrimp House & Tavern

Jul 8, 2008

We visited Mc’t to try the all-you-can eat shrimp selections that I had read about on a previous forum. I started with the original shrimp done with Old Bay Seasoning. They were pretty good. Decided to try the Cajun version. Oh my gosh talk about good. I ended up eating 2 1/2 more plates. They were yummy. The juices that were created were unbelievable they should bottle it and sell it. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

We ate here several times on previous visits and enjoyed it, so we had to go back again this year!
It was abysmal.....dirty tables, run down fixtures and shabby decor. Then there was the food....fried, greasy and unappealing. Never again!
