Mcclard’s Downhome Catering

Wonderful addition to the restaurant scene!! Food is wonderful with it's tastiness, and they keep it simple!! Our waitress was VERY attentive, and we accidentally stayed a bit past closing, but no one rushed us out. My first time there, DEFINITELY not my last!

We frequent McClard's in HS often. By comparison here is differences we saw. Service was excellent (as expected). The rib dinner has skimpy on fries and they were not the same as one in HS store. The slaw was okay. The tamale spread had something missing, couldn't decide just what. I think it was a little short on pork, and some of what I got was dry. I willing to forget some of this to newness. I'm happy that I don't have to drive 100+ miles thru construction zones anymore. We will be back and hope some tweaking will be done before then.

The tamale spread was absolutely the best thing there. Overall good and we will be back. The only thing I would say could be improved is that the meat could be more smokey. It tasted fine but not much of a smoked flavor. I smoke meat a lot and if it's going to be in the smoker for hours I want it to taste smoked and not roasted. But it wasn't bad at all. That may just be how they do it there which fine. The BBQ sauce isn't my style but it's still good and goes well with the dishes. It's very heavily tomato flavored and almost more like a marinara. We got Mcclards beans and potato salad as sides and I thought they were great. Got a peach cobbler too and it was great with lots of crust. Our server was Jeanne (I think) and she was absolutely fantastic.

Service was great, gals were very nice. Food was mediocre. Sides were just not good. Was offered replacements but I didn't see how that would make things better, would have preferred a discount because majority of order was uneaten. Ribs were good! Catfish was dime a dozen type and brisket was ok, well smoked but bland. Paid $80. Probably won't return.

Great eating, friendly staff, loved the decorations . that was my first time. I went with a friend who had been there before. she said I wasn't disappointed. she was right, we're going back.
