Mcateer's

Wonderful people and wonderful food. When you go in you really are like family. I was a customer for years before working there for a few years in college. The staff are so sweet and the customers that come in even semi regularly become family to the staff. One of the cooks is the owner and he takes special care in making sure every single piece of food that goes out is of excellent quality. And once a year on Saint Patrick's Day they do the corn beef and cabbage meal for the roots of the families Irish heritage that owns and runs the business.

This is a fantastic breakfast diner. My boyfriend got the meat lovers omelet and said it was the best omelet he ever had. I got the burrito and it was delicious. Service is a little slow but that is to be expected in a small town restaurant. Overall service was excellent with friendly staff and they even offered a Togo coffee which we gladly accepted. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

The staff is great, very friendly. But I can't say much about the food. Ate there first time, still Ill from it, heavy feeling in the stomach. To be fair, I do prefer plant-based fare, and am very discerning of food quality. So what other folks love won't work for me. Poor parking, or if a spot opens, it's difficult to enter/exit. They can't fix that easily. Cash only, no cards. Noted that sales tax appears inclusive, so "even dollar amounts" make it easier. All said, not going back.

Whenever I travel through different states, I always like to check the different towns for local, family restaurants, and I really hit the jackpot with McAteer’s. Where else can you get homemade sausage, homemade bread, really fresh eggs, and tomatoes for breakfast! Just a very special place, and a very pretty waitress with a classic rock T shirt! Only one concern - no credit cards accepted, but the menu is so affordable, it shouldn't be a problem. I will certainly come back if I have the opportunity to stop in Fairmont, WV.

McAteers has been my favorite restaurant for years! I moved to Oklahoma 6 years ago and missed it so much! Nothing else could fill the hole in my heart created by leaving this place behind. Eventually I simply had to move back to Fairmont, I simply couldn’t stay away any longer. Best restaurant ever!
