Definitely a cool place to go especially on the weekends. The food is very tasty. I personally like the chicken quesidilla. It is definitely a meal on its own. There is so much to choose from on the menu. There is seating outside in front, inside and an upstairs area. The restaurant is located in downtown Petaluma with many musical venues surrounding it, like the Mystic and the Phoenix Theatre. But on its own, McNears is a fun place with great drinks and a fun party like atmosphere. I have enjoyed many meals there and will continue to go there for a long time. Hope you can check it out and see for yourself! less

Price range is probably higher, but many of the items are 5-10. The barbecue combinations are $13, but you get a lot of food. Most of the items are a bit much for the average appetite. Another good item is the chili burger(be hungry). The pork shoulder is very good, as are there pork ribs. The quality of their meats is also above average. So many of the items were very good, including the chili and fries----and you have a large number of things to choose from! There's sidewalk side seating, as well as indoor seating--and they've got a large, active bar. A 'fun' place to hang. less

Fantastic Barbeque!! This place has a huge menu with pasta, sandwiches, Barbeque and seafood cooked just about anyway you'd want them. Lunch outside on a warm September day is very relaxing and dinner in the front indoor portion of the dining room with the windows open on a Saturday night is some good people watching. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. They put so much food on the plates that fancy presentation is really not possible, but the food's so good it doesn't matter. McNear's is really laid back and the bar has everything including lots of TV sets and a big screen downstairs and pool tables, video games and pinball machines upstairs. Attached to McNear's is the Mystic theater, an old movie house, which has some great live bands in the evenings (Super Diamond, Taj Mahal and Pride & Joy to name a few). Go and have some Memphis Style Pork Shoulder and a cool tropical drink and stay for the tunes and dancing. I doubt you'll find a better place to hang with some friends on a Saturday night. less
