    Chicken salad on a croissant and sweet potatos fries
    Denise S.

    First time here and was recommended. Parking in an unpaved all ground up coral is not our thing. Dust everywhere and not happy with our shoes all chalky coming into our vehicle. The place is very quaint and historic but seating is a little tight. Waitress was nice and made a few suggestions which I ordered. A chicken salad on a croissant.Nothing fancy and the croissant was too thin as it kept falling apart. The sweet potato fries looked crispy but as I picked one up-it was covered with salt! I tried eating another one but could not stomach it. The waitress offered to replace it but my stomach was upset and couldn't handle any more fries. I'm sure it's a local restaurant and could tell by the patrons.

    This is my second time here...I'm not local but have enjoyed this place both times I've come! The service was great- Natalie was an awesome server... she was attentive, friendly, and funny! She gave good suggestions- the lumpia and brussel sprouts were very tasty!! The brussels were my favorite. For entrees, we all had something different: chicken bacon ranch wrap, cheeseburger, fish divine, triple threat pasta, and the gumbo. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. My wrap was great and good size, very filling. Portion sizes are plentiful! It's a nice date night spot or a fun night out with coworkers. Only suggestion would be some more local drafts on tap because I love drinking local when I'm traveling.

    The manager or owner needs to teach the young hostess discretion. When the place was almost empty and the hostess told us we couldn't seat at a table on the porch. We had three people and it was a table for six. It wasn't peak time either. Pretty snippy too. Other than that the food was still good. The Muffaletta, chicken salad, and cheese steak sandwiches were all good. The waitress was fine.

    Grilled fish divine with garlic mashed potatoes and chicken ranch wrap with sweet potatoe fries. Delicious

    One of my besties and I had lunch here. She ordered the artichoke cheesecake for our appetizer. Amazing, delicious, decadent, etc., I could keep on going. The house cab was very tasty. I ordered the chicken ranch wrap with sweet potatoes and she had the grilled fish divine. We both enjoyed our entrees tremendously. So full we didn't even have dessert. Attentive servers here. The service was great and the ambiance felt like you were at a warm comforting home. It was all around a wonderful experience.

    Service was great. We were sat right away. We had an infant with us and they brought over a sling to put his seat in. The vibe was good and the food was good. Restaurant was clean.

    Considering local options it's the best. We left after appetizer and beverages. Server was polite. A nice evening to sit on the front porch.

    I would not recommend. Hostess was rude. Service is s-l-o-w. And the food was overpriced & over cooked!

    We have been trying to go to McKinely's for weeks now! Every time we try to stop by they are closed…read moreit seems like.. But some times, tragic stories have a happy ending. We stopped by on Saturday at 10:40 and saw their sign said 11:00 they would be open! We parked out side and waited until opening. Every minute of waiting was worth it! The interior has been very nicely done; granite countertops at the desk, chalkboards, a beautiful array of cupcakes, paintings, etc. The man at the counter was very friendly and welcomed us to his shop! For food I ordered a Reuben (of course) and my wife ordered the chicken, bacon, ranch sandwich. Both come with coleslaw, a pickle, and bag of chips. The Reuben, I would argue to say, was one of the best I have ever had in my life. The marble rye was so fresh and flavorful. The sauerkraut was amazing, I'm not sure how they got it to taste so good? My wife's sandwich was amazing! It had a blend of perfectly cooked tomato, chicken, ranch, cheese in a panini. Our next visit is definitely going to include trying out the cupcakes they had on display. They looked absolutely perfect! Their flavors were: French vanilla, mandarin orange, double chocolate, pína colada (spelling?), red velvet, and probably another that I'm forgetting? Can't wait to try one! In the pictures I have posted you'll find the menu with the hours so you can catch them when they're open! Enjoy! We sure did!

    Always enjoyed lunch here, yet this time the chicken salad was not up to par. It was very dry, and…read morethe chicken was big chunks. The croissant had no dressing on the bread. Lots of rules for customers to follow...maybe an off day.
