McDains

I've gotten used to the whole 'no restaurant, just whack some balls' thing, and McDain's fills the bill. Convenient, inexpensive...maintained okay...a good spot to get your shots straight.

Took a vacation to Pittsburgh last month - after finding out about the ban on children under 6, my companion & I decided it was worth planning one of our nights around. After a tumultuous trip, we arrived & were greeted with very pleasant staff & ambience. Companion ordered chicken marsala with some coleslaw, which was pretty delightful, and I had beer battered chicken with fries & a tomato bisque - also quite good. Our waitress was quite prompt & observant of our needs, and the food came out in reasonable time. Definitely no complaints there.Overall, it was slightly pricier than I'd anticipated for what we ordered, but it was worth it to eat in peace sans screaming, food-covered, bratty children. I wish more restaurants would adopt a no-kids policy; I'd eat out more.

McDain's, growing into the valley's hidden gem.For people who think that McDain's is just for golf, you are missing something very enjoyable. Not crazy unique food, just the usual cast of characters. Marsala's, Chicken Salads, Stuffed Flounder & Sandwiches. I have had them all, but this review is for the last on that list, the Sandwiches!Tonight I dined with my culinarian com padre AP and my mother. What drew us there this evening was the email for 1/2 OFF NEW SANDWICHES, Aug 14-19th. Not that I am a coupon collecting jedi, but it did it's effectiveness, and got our asses in the door. My mother went with the Grilled Steak, AP with the blackened salmon, and I with the Double Eagle Burger. AP did not decide to go the sandwich route, but me and the mom did. Her grilled steak sandwich is solid as ever, loaded with real meat, cheese, and topped with bacon. *Jedi Recommendation: Mayo, and cooked no more than medium. Like I said, solid choice. But now for mine....the NEW Double Eagle Burger.My eyes were drawn to this item on the menu, like a bad car accident. A 1/3 pound real meat burger (by the way, burgers are always bomb here) topped with jumbo lump crab cake (in which them shits too are bomb in themselves) finished with a homemade remoulade sauce. Now I know what your thinking...RED MEAT and CRAB...WTF...but listen to me, with the remoulade it works like a think of beauty. I personally feel that it needs some crunch so *Jedi Recommendation: and either some dill pickle or even just some spring mix for a texture enhancer. I will order this burger again, delicious!RESTAURANT BOUNS: no kids in under 6.....LOVE IT. It you wanna bitch, go to Chuck E Cheese with dem lil snots.

Poor service, gummy shrimp,uncooked vegetables, no bread and this was on a slow night. The only good thing is that it was quiet without the noisy children.

Lots of tasty fried apps. Great prices , nice variety. No kids is the hallmark of this establishment. What a pleasant surprise to done without sloppy, messy loud families ruining it for everybody

Stopped here while in town between tournament rounds for my daughter. Friendly owner at counter. Tons of hitting bays with new mats - we opted to use the grassy area at the far end. Great prices. Even spotted some deer at the far end of the range.

Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. As someone new to the area and on a budget, I really appreciated the McDains prices almost as much as the quality time the owner took to talk to my friends and I about our golf swing(s). As someone from a small community, the personalized hospitality made me feel not only extraordinarily welcomed. It was a wonderful treat to enjoy multiple buckets of balls and light refreshments all night without breaking the bank or feeling overwhelmed by too much "flash" and upselling (like you see and experience at places like TopGolf or other commercial ranges). The packed bay area that night showed that many others also appreciated the feeling of home that McDains exudes. My friends and I will most definitely be back. Thank you, McDains!

Best driving range in the area. Many target greens to hit to. Easy to follow golf balls due to slightly downhill range. Definitely a 5 star range.

I've had a few meals there and they were all solidly above average. Service, food and atmosphere were all pretty good. Crab cakes are really good.People who are ticked off about the kid-ban need to grow up. They are ticked off that someone called attention to their poor parenting skills. Not everyone thinks your kid is cute - particularly when they are roaming around the restaurant, screaming, crying and interupting everyone's meal. All kids, including mine, behave this way from time to time. It's up to you to either control them, or remove them from the restaurant.

Very below average food and the service was sub-par. Filet had to be returned twice. On the third time it was returned it tasted funny so I just gave up and went to McDonald's.
