McCray's Backyard BBQ & Seafood in Mangonia Park - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It's not McCray's; new restaurant selling BBQ and my first experience will most likely be my last. My sandwich bread was kind of soggy on one side, so I turned it over and put the meat on the other slice and found a hair right in the middle of the soggy piece of bread.

Food was delicious. The family meal was definitely enough, with plenleft over.

Looks like McCray BBQ has shut down. 😐 I have passed by a few times ⏲️ and no one was there. I don't know if they have lost their business 🤔 or not.

The man at the order window was very friendly. The two BBQ sauces I had were excellent. The conch salad was fresh and delicious. The potato salad and mac & cheese were okay, but the collard greens were so salty I couldn’t eat them (and I’m not usually sensitive to salt). They only offer St. Louis-style ribs, which were difficult to eat around the fat and cartilage—a really weird cut. It’s a shame because they were smoked nicely. I’d rather pay a couple of bucks more for baby back ribs. Overall, I’d recommend this place; it seems to be as good as you can get in Florida.

Over priced, poor customer service & def not worth the hype! Been shut down more than once for covid!

Terrible service and long waits

The BBQ is amazing and they made catering my event so easy! The staff is great to work with and the quality of the food outstanding. I received many compliments and asks of who catered the bbq. I will definitely use this company for future events and for dinner for the family!

Food is GREAT ALONG WITH SERVICE FROM HIS EMPLOYEES

I was visiting family from outside the area and decided to try out this location due to the reviews. I called in my order, however; when I showed up, I was told they didn't have fish or the dessert I ordered online. I was asked if I wanted to substitute but I declined due to food preference. I was told I could go back to the ordering website Toast Takeout to get a refund but that did not occur. I attempted to call for refund but went to voice-mail until it was completely full. Issue is unresolved!

Sooo idk if McCray's closed down or what, but it's ridiculous that my husband and I come all the way from royal palm beach after checking google to see the menu so we would know what we wanted, just to pull up and the place is closed. I checked Google again to make sure I wasn't tripping and that they were open. It was 3pm we went and sure enough I wasn't tripping. Google said they were open. Smh nothing worse than having your appetite set on something thinking you bout to eat good just for you to be disappointed. Damn mccrays use to be boomimg too smh.

3pm on a Friday and they aren't open. Just close the business at this point

Not the same cold dry ribs little good for the price never again lol

I've tried several times but this is the last. After waiting in line for 15 minutes I finally received my food and as we drive away I start eating and my food is cold. Ribs were previously done and were not warmed up enough before taking them off the grill I suppose. So disappointed and wish I would have chosen something else, I could have gotten a store bought Sub for much less if I wanted a cold dinner.

Ordered the Sunday meal and it was horrible if I could give it no stars I would’ve. It was more like I ordered left overs from Wednesday!!!! The chicken was so dry I could barely swallow it!!! Mac and cheese felt like it was made from left overs no flavor! I won’t return…ever!

If I could give it 0 starts I would. Slow service. Rude Service. Out of everything Intried to order. Health department violations everywhere.

Super dry ribs felt like cardboard paper but the sauce is really good

Worst BBQ I've ever had. Ribs were dry and not even cut by the rib. Bones were xhopped down the middle. Mac and cheese had no cheese on it. It was greasy noodles. They were out of greens so I got baked beans and I think all they did was open a can and warm them up. Way over priced for what I got. Won't be back ever! Only option is to walk up and order and sit outside.

They got a man wearing full makeup serving and taking orders. I have no problem or anything against the LGBQ community. However I witnessed this individual go to the restroom and not wash his hands then run to go receive and place orders. Eat at your own risk. That is extremely disgusting. Then has an attitude when he tells me there is no chicken on a Friday night. Thank you

Take out or Outside dining only

Over 10 years ago, I remember President Obama visited when McCrays was just a smoker on the side of the road. Today was my 1st try, and I was a little underwhelmed 😬... I was aaight... not great but not bad either. The staff however... 10/10

The food is ok but they should try to offer an inside dining place

I placed an order online. Drove 25 mins to get here. Received the text that my order was ready ! Just for me to arrive and this lady walks out with an attitude! Saying we are only taking catering orders so i cant help you! Then i say well I’ve already spent my money and why are u still accepting online orders IF your closed? She said well I don’t know how to set it up online when im closed! And walked off.. i have had to fight with the bank to get my money back because guess what on the online order app it shows my order is ready and i did not pick it up! These people are scammers and now i see why it took them 15 years to get a building cuz they are BAD BUSINESS!!!!

This is hyped up as seen on TV food. Small portions for the price point ( similar dishes for same price point at IHOP i.e. Fish and fries though this place offers snapper but 1 small filet.). Also, when you charge extra for sauces that do not have bespoke ingredients: you are chasing the pot of gold or struggling. It’s a one time taste experience stop. There are soul food and fish fry places on route 1 that offer similar food with more zeal and passion.

Went there yesterday and I don't like the changes they made with the food or pricing! The ribs still taste good but my bread wasn't toasted..my sides were miniscule and quite frankly no longer worth how much they're charging for it! Very disappointed!

The service as in acknowledgement to the customer at the window is great. I would've given a higher grade but as a driver for picking up orders and deliver I've had to call my customers so far three times to ask if they would like to change their order cause you guys were out of what they ordered and subsequently end up losing the order so that's the only reason why the low grade but other than that you deserve higher.

Food was just as good as I remember from the belvedere food truck Walmart location, I was greeted with the nicest person Ms berry so nice and sweet, and she even offered me a sweet tea, I will definitely be back to this location. Having nice people with great attitudes goes a long way🥰

While staying in west palm beach I was looking for something local & black owned & this BBQ spot I found in my search & it wasn’t too far from my hotel. Google said it closed at 10pm, caught a LYFT there around 8:30/9 & it was already closed so i definitely was annoyed about that. Came back few days later earlier in the day to try again. Because the food look so good in the pictures on line, I was so determined to try it out. So I thought we could go in & sit down but that day seemed only drive-thru or walk up window. The service was nice & friendly. I ordered pork ribs (with their house made Hot BBQ sauce on the side), bbq baked beans & Mac n cheese ! Everything tasted so good & was worth the wait. Next time I’m in west palm beach I would definitely come back.

Amazing service at very competitive prices!

I want to McCray's Backyard Barbecue and got ripped off for my money how old are the brisket dinner but I ended up with a pot roast dinner they're trying to pass a pot roast off for brisket dinner I paid $30 for a pot roast dinner

My husband is a backyard weekend Bar-B-Q'er, and if this is what people are calling "World Famos" then we need to go in business. I know everyone has their own opinion and their opinion on BBQ as well, but man' come on. Put them smokers to use. Let the smoke roll, instead of using a gas grill. I just hate that we wasted $45 on LUNCH!!!

Very disappointed. There was no inside dining. Barbecue was mediocre. Help were totally disinterested

This place really went down hill after they left the front of the Walmart on Military. So disappointing. Bad service, small portions, and expensive AF.

Ribs hard as a rock, get better with the food! I been a customer for 20 years, I never seen your ribs this bad! I chip my tooth eating your ribs today! Ribs hard too pill with hands!

Bake beans not macaroni. Coleslaw not collard greens.

2 racks n sides n sweet potatoe pie. All smiles.

The food was alright but kinda cold. They didn't have any white meet chicken so a half chicken plate was 2 drum sticks and a thigh. The Mac and cheese was good though. The large tea was a bit pricey at $4.

Súper bueno un arte en la.cocina

The absolute best barbecue restaurant in Palm Beach County.

This is the best bbq restaurant in the city, so please 🙏🏾 give them a shot if you’re in West Palm Beach 🏝️ 💪🏾

Fish meal, How is this worth $19 portion size for the size are small enough to fill a 5 year-old. at best meal is worth 12.99, not $19

Food used to be amazing, cleanliness and service leave much to be desired.

Friendly staff , excellent service, excellent food, you can smell that excellent BBQ in the air, makes your mouth water walking up to place your order, might of not mention it yet , EXCELLENT PLACE, go on up there and check it out.

Been twice and was disappointed both times, but I will try a third time and hope for the best. I have a feeling this place can be really good if I apply some finesse to my strategy. I want their shrimp dinner but the two times I ordered it, it was unavailable. The chicken and ribs were fine, they have a good flavor and the sauces are very nice, but grilled BBQ tastes best when it’s really hot and both the chicken and the ribs have been lukewarm. I hope I can figure out how to order at a time of day when they have shrimp, because I got my hopes up twice already. The macaroni and cheese is awesome imo and the star of the show. The small sweet potato pie is also amazing - buttery and sweet, perfect warmed up with a little cream on top and some milk. If you get a combo, the portions are very very small. I would say the portions are almost like sample size so the second time, I ordered a side of large Mac and cheese. It’s the only thing I really, really wanted (pregnancy craving) but somehow I still got stuck with the small portion. So I’m pretty disappointed. I also haven’t had a chance to taste the collard greens. I’m just a little disappointed because I feel like they put whatever they had in my bag, which was kind of a good intention, but at the end of the day, it’s not what I wanted at all. I wanted a simple order: fried shrimp, large mac and large collard greens. I ended up with two orders of ribs, a tiny mac and a tiny potato salad and tons of bread. I will try again but I’ll go in person next time instead of a ordering through Uber because it’s a huge disappointment to look in the bag and have completely wrong order that takes a really long time to arrive (especially when you’re pregnant).

Stasia and Annabelle in the front are fantastic.

Some of the best ribs I've had, they are very juicy and moist! How do they do that ! Please try them also the sides were great too. Got take out for 3 people

Review is on service waited in the drive thru call box for about 8/10 mins keep hearing give me one sec please at least 5 times. I never eat here before but was excited to try since my office is now close by. On my lunch break so couldn't keep wait. Very disappointing 😞

I ordered a barbecue chicken dinner thinking it was the same as the pictures on the website but unfortunately the quantity was very small for a half a chicken dinner I asked for double Mac n cheese thinking the white styrofoam was going to be the quantity’s instead it was a very small container that sauce would come in And to top it off they forgot the barbecue sauce on the side it had flavor and was old and dry it was 8:45pm I think they should jus said we have No chicken For 16$ and a drive from Port Saint Lucie I’m goin back to the 13$ spot witch looks like a 22$ plate major quantity.

Staff were all very friendly. Food took a bit longer than expected. They were out of brisket and cracked conch. I got the fried snapper with collard greens. The food was great. The greens were seasoned perfectly. The lime cream sauce with the fish was amazing. I will be back to try the brisket or conch on another day.

1st time eating here BBQ was excellent. Ribs were fall of the bone and the sauce was very tasty. Team was very helpful and attentive. Definitely recommended. Only have outside seating. Fans and TV. very clean.

They only have a drive through and outdoor seating. The menu is impressive to say the least. The sauces are diverse and tasty. They sell out of some normal items quickly due to the demand. Definitely worth the price and time to get the food. Would recommend if you’re looking for barbecue and seafood.

Place is awesome. New management!

Went to McCray’s and I had an issue. I just happened to see the owner and I spoke to him and he apologized and got me right. I must applaud him for that. No business is perfect and when you have people working for you they can mess up and cause you to lose customers but the owner fixed the issue right away.

I had delivery to work a while back and it was awesome. I got delivery last night and it was horrible. I ordered Collards and got day old crusty mac n cheese. The ribs were all gristle and not made that day. The chicken drumstick was TINY. I expected more with Mccrays reputation and I am very disappointed.

Food was delicious and staff is friendly, for me, I dislike that there is no indoor seating. Given the frequency of rain, this would be a nice option

Rápido el servicio y excelente su comida y ubicacion

Best pulled pork BBQ sandwich I've ever eaten. It

Very disappointed in the size of the rib dinner for the price. Food was very tasty.

Service was great. Daisha was really sweet. The food was ok... but to pay $15 for 2 small pieces of chicken and a very tiny side of mac and cheese....I'll pass

First time visiting and I was very satisfied. My boyfriend and I both had the chicken and ribs dinner with Mac and cheese and collard greens and a sweet potato pie. The food was delicious. The chicken was tender even the white meat! The price was fair for the amount of food we had. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for some good soul food.

I’ve ordered from McRae’s BBQ many times but this last time I was super disappointed. They sent my food with no bbq sauce! How can a person enjoy good bbq without the good bbq sauce?

These ribs were the best I've had in a very long time.

Meats are great. The sides are plain. Coleslaw was old and soggy. Mac cheese was dry.

Stopped by for a bite while running a few errands....the service was quick and friendly. And the food was....delicious! Looking forward to checking them out again soon!

Order and pickup at window with picnic table seating. Good food, good prices and pleasant order takers!
