Harp

Meet The Owner
From waitress to owner, Natasha Hendrix has been greeting customers since Day 1.
Hendrix started as a server for original owners, Daryl and Annie McCreary in 2002. In 2007, the opportunity presented itself for Hendrix to own The Pub (as it is popularly called by locals), and jumped on it.
Hendrix hasn’t changed much from the original plan for McCreary’s. Service is still a priority, as is food quality. However, the additions of a weekend breakfast menu, a wine selection and most recently a liquor selection, are all facets of Hendrix’s vision.
Hendrix keeps that Pub Family feel going. Daryl and Annie’s kids can often be seen serving tables. Her sister, Ashley, is Assistant GM and her brother-in-law, Alex, runs the kitchen.
“I didn’t always want to own a restaurant,” she said. “It’s this particular one, its location and the people who come here, that led me to buy it. There are no pretenses, just comfortable, casual fun.”
