It was horrible! I ordered a “Cheeseburger and Fried. Hubby ordered the Frisco Chicken over rice. My parent ordered salads. The 2 salads were fine. The other 2 meals were COLD! I grabbed the fries and had a fist full when showing the waitress how...cold they were. After a long wait I can’t believe the food was this bad. My husband refuses to send food back at any restaurant. So, he ate cold food and I sent mine back and asked could they make a hot grilled cheese sandwich!!? My parents are in their 80’s and like going here-for the local conversation it’s definitely not for the food. A man to the right of us heard our conversation and said his sides were cold-showed the bowls and they were full- he said he was not going to eat it. I asked my husband to walk my parents out and I went to the register. I told them it has been 3 times in a row with “food” issues. She offered me a 2.00 discount. Are you kidding me? Don’t waste your time if you want good food. Waitress staff has always been wonderful but they spend a lot of time apologizing! Do Not Recommend!More

Arrived at 7:30 pm and ordered two simple dinners-a hamburger steak and sides and a vegetable plate. By 8:00 we still had no food and the server came to tell us they ran out of green beans. They had brought nothing but drinks while we...waited-not even a plate of biscuits. We left with no dinner and had to settle for fast food. A real shame- McClean’s used to be good.More

This place seems to be improving each time we visit. Now, it is a regular for after church service. I have become addicted to their beef tips on rice, and my wife has become addicted to the ribs. Give wanted to give out a shout...to this place that continues to do better. If there was ever a negative: No one in my family cares for their biscuits.More

Bad experience, Arrived at 1155 on July 7, 2021. I did not receive my order until 1237. I complained and waitress told me they had a private outing in another room. All we had my wife had a salad bar and I had chicken strips....My food was piled sloppily onto plate with four very small chicken strips for a large order. PIled high with french frys like trying to replace of any chicken available. No refills made to the table and no one asking us what we thought. I told waitress and no manager showed up. Not offered for any deductions on my check. It will be a long time before I come back here.More

We have visited here several times in the past prior to COVID and it was good. This latest visit was a bit disappointing. Just was not up to their prior quality. Hope they get it back together again.

I am (was) a regular very satisfied customer for months now. The breakfast grits were absolutely delicious. In fact, when I wanted grits I would get into my car and drive all the way up to the restaurant to get them. However, my last 2...takeout orders were just yellow with cheese. At first, because I have such great regard for the staff, I just ate them. The second time I decided to call back and inquire about the cheese in the grits. The individual answering the phone repeatedly argued that "all of our grits has cheese" . I never knew that before. I knew they tasted different but they were still a normal grit color. These were yellow as cheese itself. Not willing to loose my favorite breakfast grit location, I requested to speak with a manager. After speaking just a few words I noticed that she said in a very irritated voice, "All our grits got cheese in them" with the same accent as the first individual. So I acknowledged the fact that "they have cheese, but these are yellow with cheese" She restated it and I finally said, "Well I just will not eat there" at which point she snapped, "fine". Then I finished my statement just before she slammed the phone down ......."And I'll just tell others". So sad because it really is a nice place. Very quite. Nice friendly staff. This was my first bad experience. I now open a pack of instant grits, put about 1/4 slice of cheese in it, and get that same exact original taste that I once enjoyed from there. Little or no salt needed. Best wishes and blessings to the establishmentMore

It was a couple of miles off the highway and we had to wait about 15 minutes, but it was totally worth it! I had fried porkchop with cabbage and mac and cheese. He had meatloaf with mashed potatoes and field peas. Served with biscuits...and cornbread. It was all delicious. We didn't have dessert but the options looked amazing. I'm sure we'll stop here again when in the area.More

Our first visit was a pleasant experience. The decor is very rustic with the walls covered with art work, memorabilia, and antiques. Even a canoe is hanging on a wall. We had the country steak special and Nanna's chicken salad. Both were very good. The...hush puppies and rolls were a special treat. the collard greens were very good. The prices and excellent on everything. The service was very friendly, fast, and efficient. We recommend McLean's and will definitely return on our next visit to Zebulon.More

This restaurant is rather large and spacious inside. Tables are spaced and all staff are masked. We had lunch specials and iced tea. My wife had the buffalo chicken lunch with 2 sides. I had the grilled chicken breast and 2 sides (actually ordered the...pork chops and got chicken instead, my second choice). The most excellent waitress brought biscuits and hush puppies. The lunch was well prepared, hot and tasty. Biscuits were pretty good. Hush[puppies were better. Not all guests wore masks as posted. Overall I would return. My bill for the both of us was 25.50 plus tip.More

Everyone enjoyed my sister in law's birthday! Ribs were tender, porkchop tasty, shrimp and catfish all great. Collards were only thing not seasoned well. All in all good meal.

Had a fabulous breakfast at McLean's OLE Time Cafe. Breakfast was so good that we returned for dinner that same evening. Breakfast consisted of yummy blueberry pancakes with perfectly cooked bacon. Our server was excellent even though the restaurant was busy for a Friday morning....There were 4 of us for breakfast. We met up with 4 other family members and returned for dinner, total of 8. We ordered 2 baskets of hush puppies along with our meals. Everyone was satisfied and happy with their order. The six year old ate a plate of spaghetti, one strand at a time.More
