Jakes is great, went last summer to the orginal one. I think the M&S here is really good though. We have been 2-3x to the one in Crabtree and loved it and had great service.

I haven't been to the NC one yet. I've only eatten at the original one in Downtown Portland & Jake's. Both of those are so worth it if you are ever in Ptown.

But I know that once a resturant goes IPO, the chains don't always carry over, which is a shame. I just can't imagine Bone Fish being better than a Mck & Sch. That's just plain scary.

Try the location here for yourself, and form your own opinion. If I had based my decision on all the negative reviews here, I would have missed a fantastic meal.

Thanks Claire. We do still plan to try the Crabtree location. I'm a see for myself sort of gal.

We have such a long list of resturants to try. Just wish the baby sitter money was as long as the list.

But that has been one of the fun things about moving to a new area.... having sooooo many new places to try. After you live in a city for a while, you've eatten at a lot of the places and only really get excited about the new ones. I've got plenty of options here to keep me busy for many years.

What is the price range at this restuarant??

I've had lunch there several times and it's always been fine (but I don't eat seafood). Service has been good. They don't seem to get a lot of lunch-time business - it's never busy.

WE have been there at least 20 times since the restaurant opened and the food was excellent everytime. Make sure you become a Preferred Card Member. Well worth the money for what you get.

kelly, the menu for McC&S is online, although it changes at least once daily depending on what is fresh. They have prices. I've had a dinner for 2 there for under $80 but we did not have any alcohol.

I just ate lunch there yesterday and it was pretty good. I had the shrimp and scallop fettucine. They are running a special on lobster until the 5th... 19.95.
I was too full for the chocolate bag, but I highly recommend it.

They also make a miniature version, but they may only serve that at dinner.

Its Flemings. The crab cakes there are awesome. My family is from Maryland so we're pretty picky when it comes to crab meat and how its prepared... Its all blue crab and not stuffed with bread crumbs, which you typically find here in the south. Its great that I dont have to go to the Chesapeake to get a good crab cake!!!

Most all Maryland blue crabs come from North Carolina.
