McCoy’s, with a recommendation score of 7.1, is a solid choice if you prioritize a calm setting, quality food, and attentive service. It appears to be a particularly good option for those seeking a peaceful interlude, especially within an airport or hotel context.

- serviceMy experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional, largely due to the outstanding service provided by Joe. From the moment I sat down, he expertly navigated me through the menu, offering insightful and mouthwatering suggestions.
- serverJorge (aka George ) was our server for the Lobby Bar area and was outstanding!
- staffWe did not plan for this, and I was really nervous about eating out. Thank goodness we went to McCoys; the staff are wonderful. The chef came out to discuss options and proposed an alternative dinner (spaghetti with chicken).
- ServiceService was also top-notch
- recommendationsgave us plenty of recommendations
- room serviceamazing room service from Daniela
- waitressI initially thought the kitchen might have given me the wrong dish, as I mistook it for chicken meat. On a positive note, the waitress was friendly.
- JudyJudy was our waitress and she was a wonderful girl. Her service was excellent.
- ZuzuMy experience at Zuzu was fantastic, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Zuzu, who is a fantastic server and knows the best items on the menu! The food was way better than I expected.

Frequently criticized
- serviceWe ate there after our flight was canceled and rescheduled. The service was very slow, and our food took 50 minutes to arrive. Tragically, mid-flight the next morning, my companions and I all came down with food poisoning.
- waiting timeIt took forever to get seated, waited on, and for the food too
- waitressMy experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. We waited an hour, and ultimately left because the waitress never bothered to take our order. To add to the frustration, the prices were outrageous, and the quality of the drinks was poor.
- serverThe next morning, my wife and I had a sit-down breakfast at McCoy's. The staff were understaffed, and our server was oversaturated. Initial attention took over 10 minutes, and the food took more than 40 minutes.
- staffToo much staff with poor attitudes
- DebbieDebbie is very unprofessional
- Kmart serviceHyatt prices and Kmart service.
- NO SERVICEWe then tried the adjacent bar/lounge area, which was self-seating and offered the same menu. After sitting at a table for 10 minutes with no greeting or acknowledgement, we received NO SERVICE. We left and went to Chick-fil-A, where we experienced great service and great food, saving about $100.
- US Army Vet guestWe then invite our exhausted traveling guests to join us for a meal at Mccoys, which has always been a memorable and refreshing experience. Unfortunately, after so many decades, we had a US Army Vet guest treated very poorly. He is a stroke survivor and was wheeled to Mccoys, only to be placed in a cramped 2-seat booth where he had to sit sideways due to his inability to maneuver his body into the space.
- acknowledgementNever even acknowledged the customers at the front counter
If you value attentive and knowledgeable staff, you'll likely have a great experience here, as many do. However, be prepared for the possibility of slower service or longer waits during busy periods, which could impact your visit.

Value (3.8 out of 10)
mentioned by 22% of the guests
When it comes to value, some diners found pleasant surprises, noting that the prices were surprisingly good and even much lower than expected, especially compared to other airport or hotel restaurants. A few guests felt the quantity well justified the price, making their experience feel reasonably priced. These positive sentiments, though fewer, highlight instances where the pricing truly delivered value for money.
However, the overall sentiment for value leans heavily towards disappointment, with a score of 3.8 (average, but on the lower side) and a poor customer satisfaction of just 22.2%. Many experiences, based on 24 negative remarks, describe feeling price gouged or that items were simply overpriced. Issues like unexpected delivery fees or being charged twice left a sour taste, indicating that the value for the money was often not great.

- priceI only ordered a BLT and a CLASSIC HAMBURGER. The price was out of this world. I will never be going here again.
- pricesThe prices are extremely high.
- $50 dishFor a $50 dish, the order has to be right.

- billmy bill went UP from the 15 minutes I ordered it
- charged twiceTo make matters worse, I was told to call again for the correct beers and that I would be recharged. I was charged twice, even after returning the unopened and incorrectly delivered product. Later that evening, I wanted to work at the Lobby Bar, but they did not serve draught beer and I was redirected to the McCoy bar.
- delivery feedidn't want to pay what seemed a large delivery fee

If consistent value is a top priority for you, this spot might be a gamble, as many found the prices quite steep. While some were pleasantly surprised, be prepared for potentially high costs and always double-check your bill to avoid any unexpected charges.

Hidden Gem at MCO Airport
My experience at this restaurant, a true hidden gem at MCO, was fantastic. The food was great, offering a wide selection. The service was terrific, and the seating provided a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.
Even the restrooms were clean and fancy, which is remarkable for an airport establishment! It's a standout option for travelers.

Excellent Chicken Parmesan and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was a great meal to end our trip before heading home. Our server, Nydursckha, recommended the chicken Parmesan, and it was so fire! It was crispy, with baked cheese on top, and cooked perfectly, blending great with the sauces.
She provided excellent service, being helpful, nice, and very patient while our toddler decided on the kids menu. I definitely recommend checking this restaurant out, especially after reading reviews of other airport food choices.

Tasty but Expensive Airport Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was generally pretty tasty, with the jet fuel deviled eggs being particularly delicious. The 3 appetizers for $27 were also generally worth it, considering it's hotel food in an airport.
However, the food was very expensive. The chicken quesadilla was average, definitely nothing special but tasty nonetheless. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and service a 4, with no wait time.
