Five star. Had the jalapeño popper burger. Possibly the best burger I have ever had. Not too spicy. Coupled with some onion rings and a couple of Alaskan ambers I was in heaven.

Local bar food burger joint, portions are bigger than your head. Wednesday wing deal is off the charts. Food is always good, ask Stef about her horses. They should call me Norm

I thought I left this place a review already..DO NOT LEAVE BUCHANAN WITHOUT STOPPING HERE! ITS AMAZING!! Forget the great prices and generous portions.. the quality is what will leave you craving more. Everytime I stop in Buchanan I'm usually seduced by the mouthwatering aroma coming from this place. If you're lucky to be in town when they are open you are in for a treat! From the great sirloin burgers they have starters like white cheddar cheese curds and so much more. Definitely a must stop!! I have to add.. from now on I'll not only be stopping in for a drink and a bit but I will be buying food to take home with me as well! Why does this place have less than 5's? Probably some douche yelper thinking they're food critics. They should get the South Park Golden Badge of being the "top yelper" so that they get the special treatment they deserve. I read a review from ones of these people and I do not believe they waited two hours for their food. I've been there on a Saturday when they were jam packed and they're was one bartender, one cook and one server and my food came out super quick, hot and fresh.. and I don't recall ever having to ask for a refill. They were hustling to get peoples orders out, that time and all other times I've been their the service has been excellent and the food is just great bar food.. a Half pound sirloin cheeseburger with fries is only $10.99 and all the started I saw were $7.99.

Noisy, wonderful, small neighborhood bar and grill we found in Buchanan MI. It truly seems to be the "place where everybody knows your name" If you are not a regular, everyone still gives you a warm welcome. Servers, cooks and some of the customers worked hard to get everyone seated, menus distributed and served as fast as they could. It did take us an hour and 45 minutes and it was time well spent. Our food was delicious and our drinks were good. We had Fish and fries and hamburgers.

Do i recommend? Hell ya. If your looking for your typical hole in the wall local tavern, we'll Mc Coy Creek has a surprise for you! They are awesome!! Huge menu, all fresh made, especially the hand cut boneless chicken wings( the best). Everything from soup to dinners, never had a bad meal there. Service is great and staff is friendly. We suggested this place to several friends and now they are all regulars as well!

Went for the Friday AUCE fish fry. Wasn't disappointed. Large serving of fish, fries a serving of coleslaw & a nice piece of cornbread. There was so much fish in the 1st basket there was no need to ask for more. The 1st time there, I finished my fish, but barely & brought home most of the fries. The second time we went, I couldn't finish....but oh I wanted to.

Tried this place out for the first time and was super happy. The place itself is small, but definitely good vibes inside. Also had private men and women bathrooms. The food was delicious got the sampler appetizer platter with mini tacos, mac and cheese bites, onion rings, and fried mushrooms. Everything was cooked perfect and so tasty. We also got the bone in chicken wings and french dip which were also cooked perfectly. The service was great as well, everyone was very nice. Definitely recommend and will be returning there next time we are in town! Also giant parking lot right behind their building. So easy access.

Went here for lunch during the week and was completely satisfied. This place has such a good extensive menu for a dive bar atmosphere. I've had the sloppy joe, the french dip and the reuben and they were all awesome. Went on a Friday around 6 pm....after 22 minutes still didn't have any drinks or a food order in so we left. Lesson learned - only go on weekdays for lunch :) Or maybe weekends around 2:30.

My husband works in Buchanan and he brought home food from McCoy's Creek Tavern. I had him bring me the Club sandwich (I asked them to add onion) and a side of fries, while he got his standard burger and fries. He seemed to enjoy his food but didn't really give me his opinion, but he finished it so I assume it was decent. I really liked my sandwich. I hadn't had a club sandwich in a long time and it definitely filled my tummy. I love a good triple decker club sandwich, and theirs was on point. I usually get the tomatoes taken off but this time I didn't and I'm glad I didn't. They didn't have it touching the bread so no tomato soaked bread. They also weren't mushy which was nice because sometimes by the time the food gets eaten, the tomatoes are soft and mushy, which is why I usually get them removed. I am interested in coming and sitting down to get the full vibe but that might be a bit. I am hoping my husband will order from them again soon though, because I have more things I want to try, like the sloppy joe and some of the wraps. I am so glad my husband took his co-workers advice and grabbed some food from McCoy's.
