Great experience at McK’s. Came on a recommendation from a local distillery, was not disappointed! Prices are great and food quality top tier. The Guinness Stew is massive and delicious! The French Dip was wonderful, and the Fish-n-Chips was some of the best fried fish we have had in the area. The Conners Irish Red beer and Beach Street Blonde beer were also delicious. Great Job, McK’s!
February 2025: McK's Tavern is great place to eat. I have never been there when it wasn't bustling. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I noticed pet companions with customers in the outdoor area. The menu offers traditional, hearty, Irish fare, but also 1/2 pound hamburgers. Check out the specials on Sundays and Thursdays. Their food is delicious! There is diagonal street parking in front, but abundant public parking in rear of the building. There is also a rear entrance. The one aspect that I didn't care for was self seating. There was quite a few people waiting. I didn't want to be rude, but felt the need to be assertive to obtain a table. People would walk right past us to a table if a party was about to leave. Regardless, I go back because I enjoy the atmosphere and good food.
We liked this place so much we returned the next night with a different group of friends! The different egg rolls were phenomenal. Definitely try the Reuben one!! The pictures don't do them justice. The Guinness stew was wonderful, and the rotating blonde beers were awesome. They had Blackberry our first night - so tasty we took home a growler and were glad we did because they sold me the last one available the next night. Check them out if you get a chance!
Fortunately we got there a little early as we understand it can draw a crowd. Big roomy booth, attentive servers and live music to boot. We heard the corned beef and cabbage was the bomb....with potato's and carrots as well. As there is always 1 in every crowd the beef and cheddar hot Sammi was great as well! Take home boxes for everyone Heard it also gets crowded prior to a ballgame. Parking was easy but it was filling up rapidly.
McK's is and Irish restaurant And what an AMAZING restaurant this is NOW, before I get to the review, There are so many festivals going on and McKs Is right smack in the middle of them..... AWESOME The food is not just your typical Irish dishes it certainly a mix of American meals When you walk in there is a sign that reads: walk in and sit yourself (there is a funny sign that says: Help wanted all can apply but the IRISH Funny huh? I laughed more because Mark is Irish There are both high and low booths and tables and at the bar seating ***Unless you're EXTREMELY tall they have a booth that is just right for you*** Mark is 5'10 and it comes to his chest. My cute height is 5'1 (when I stand up straight) it comes just below my chin AND my feet do not reach the floor The " regular couple" were smiley at us waiting to see how long we will sit there before moving Thanks a lot Diane and Paul Oh my lord, what a great Inexpensive dishes that offer On Mondays they have a rib special for only $13.99 (As of this writing) Apparently, they also have different specials on different days. I can not remember what they were now but I know on Sundays they $6.00 hamburgers Wait until you see my pictures below They "RIBS" we decided to have were awesome and our meals came out quickly I tell you this is a fun restaurant. Not only are the servers (Thank you Arley) happy and friendly, the patrons are also. We befriended those (little stinkers) Diane and Paul who proceeded to be excellent new found friends ( I think they are but maybe they were being polite BLAAH) (They didn't sneak out the back door so I think all is good... Again, BLAAH) They have TVs with games going on so if you're a fan of hanging out at the bar will have a great time there If you follow my reviews (and please do because I'm awesome and I'm not a paid reviewer) is a HIGHLY must recommendion for you visit to downtown Tourists you will have an AMAZING experience. Thank you McK's for your hospitality WE are NOW regulars too
Amazing service and food! Our bartenders Stephanie and Alexis were nothing short of amazing! Pleasant and extremely efficient. We had dinner with smoked wings and shepherd’s pie. Absolutely delicious. Great place. Totally will be back. THIS is what great service is all about. So glad we stopped in!
We stopped at Mck’s Tavern on the way to get my ears pierced for my birthday, and it turned out to be the perfect surprise. We were starving, and this place hit the spot in every way. The service was absolutely amazing—friendly, fast, and welcoming. The restaurant was super clean, which made the whole experience even better. I ordered the BLT, and wow—what a sandwich! It was huge, and every ingredient was just right. The bacon was cooked to perfection—crispy but not overdone. The tomato was sliced perfectly and fresh, and the whole thing came out hot and fresh like it had just come off the grill. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re in the area. Perfect food, great people, and a clean, comfortable place to relax. I’ll definitely be back!
This was my first visit to this establishment. I went with a group of friends. There was no wait but they were extremely busy. It’s a seat yourself restaurant. The wait for the waitress didn’t take long at all. We all had a few adult beverages while we waited for our meals to arrive. The atmosphere was festive. The ppl seemed friendly enough. The restrooms were very clean but out of paper products due to the volume of customers…The food was delish & the portions of the food was much larger than expected. There’s so many items to choose from in the menu. I forgot to post the menu but it’s available online on their website. I highly recommend this place & I’ll definitely be going back there to try the rest of the dishes! (Shepherds pie, bangers & mash, fish & chips, chili, diff types of hamburgers, Irish eggrolls, etc.) Yum!
