We have always enjoyed the annual lobster special, love the Nee England clam chowder and their Rueben sandwiches. They are a great company. At Thanksgiving, they hand out boxes that you can fill with a turkey coupon and all the fixin's. They then distribute those to the local food bank. Great community service! read more

I was recommended this place while on vacation. It was good but would probably never go back. Honestly - just your average little pub, wasn't anything fancy. Our server was very nice and helpful with the menu. The food took a really long time to come out for there hardly being any people in there. Food was good but again, nothing crazy. The lobster roll was i believe 37 dollars and it was just okay. The clam chowder was the best thing we got. read more

First let me say this is a great place to eat. Yeah its a sports bar atmophere but not quite as noisey. Very wheelchair friendly. Easy access and plenty of parking. Bathrooms very easy for wheelchairs. Sunday NASCAR and football on numerous TVs. Staff is friendly and attentive. Wife and I travel 65miles a couple times a year for our favorite meal..the Crunchy Fish. 2 huge portions of mild white fish fried in Panco crumbs for the best texture. Nothing like it that we've had anywhere. Now some critique for the owners... NE Clam Chowder needs more potatoes and clams. Flavorful but needs more depth. When packaging take out dinners please mark the sauces and dressings. Last take out we got 3 ranch dressings and no tarter. Also I ordered veg medley with my meal but only got plain steamed broccolli. I like broccolli but it was not what I ordered. Could have used some lemon butter or other seasoning on it. You can do better. You have in the past but a few misteps this time. We will be back to try you again and hope for better service. I do recommend trying thi add place. Hope you wont be disappointed. read more

The food and service were both very good. The server was very friendly and attentive.

The food was decent but no worth the price. It did the job of filling our bellies. Probably not go back if in the area read more

I love McKenna's - it's one of the best things in Port Orange. Chris, the owner, and staff are always friendly. Cody and Rich are awesome. I originally came in for the bar, but was surprised how fantastic the food is. Everything I've tried was delicious. They're known for lobster rolls (generous portion) and there is something called the Gridiron that is amazing. Description from the menu: Black angus aged sirloin blackened and seared with our homemade Blue cheese butter on top of a mound of Cajun fries. Topped with scallions and fresh Blue cheese crumbles. Best place. read more

Husband had the fish (haddock) sandwich. He loved it. He had it to go. I didn't order anything.

In Port Orange, McKenna's Place is my favorite PLaCE to watch football. I like the atmosphere. The food is great. They even make great wings which is hard to find in Florida. The craft beer selection is decent. My favorite part about my visits is Diana. She is the perfect server. Feel like she fell from heaven and landed at McKenna's Place. She is like the awesome in the sauce. Thanking her for always making my visits a memorable experience. read more

Great Irish restaurant and the bartender was fantastic. After being there twice she remembered our 3 drink orders. Very nice atmosphere. Food was awesome read more

Very personable service the servers really make sure to take care of you. Typical pub ambiance with plenty of seating. The food was very good. I had the french onion soup and others in the group had the shrimp cocktail and everyone enjoyed their meals. My one gripe would be the margaritas. There was a 2 for 1 special which was a great value but they didn't taste like your typical margarita. I opted for the beer after that which they do have many great options on tap. read more

I liked this place until they didn't give a darn about a problem with meal. I was talked down to and the waitress was horrible. I'm not a complainer and have manners. But wow. I was crushed by manager. Won't ever be back. Better places to go that respect the guests and have wonderful food. Always. read more

Amazing food! They have a great gluten free selection. I ended up sampling so many gluten free items because it is rare that I can go out and enjoy foods. The waitress offered to make the chips in the separate gluten free fryer. The (I'm assuming) owner came over and even talked to us and asked how my meal was. The atmosphere is a pub style. The bar selection was good as well. read more

Went downhill, but was never great to begin with. Went a few times between 2016-2019 not really my call, but went along. The food was very subpar, and overall restaurant layout has always been a nightmare. I get it, it's not a 5 star Italian restaurant, but there's such a thing as space management. Prices are also pretty ridiculous for being essentially a sports bar. Anyone who calls this a good Irish Sports Bar has never been to an actual Irish Sports Bar, anyone who says other wise has got to be lieing. Went a few months ago, and was disgusting. There's alot of "hype up" for this place. Alot of borderline paid for reviews but more to do with alot of people "knowing" the owners and what not. Alot of shady businesses in the area in general, As with alot of places in the area and central Florida in general there's definitely some weird stuff likely going on regarding why this place is even still open with how terrible their food is. And the service is usually 50/50 on it being good. As in quality, read more

Love their french onion soup. We get that everytime we go. Lots of variety to choose from on the menu. Seems like a local place. We drive a distance to dine there, but we'll worth it. read more

Jeep Beach in Daytona, and we chose to come here for the Boy Scout fundraiser event... seems the restaurant does a lot of community events. Nice. First off, the menu is extensive! There were so many options it was so hard to chose. Since I knew I was going to do a review, I decided to have appetizers for dinner... I chose the Russian Reuben Bites, a bowl of the Clam Chowder, and some wings with the "Lucky Leprechaun" sauce - which I was told was basically a combination of all the sauces except for the Garlic Parmesan. My friend had the Bloomin' Jalapeño Burger. Secondly, service was amazing... from the gentleman who greeted us at the front and our server who checked on us multiple times and allowed me to sample a couple of the brew selections. I settled on a fruity beer which was light and refreshing. There were so many choices the name escapes me, but it was something tropical and uncommon like guava... papaya... regardless, it was good...! Thirdly, the decor is total pub decor with a ton of TV screens which says "locals hangout..." Finally, let's talk about the food... The clam chowder was New England Style. Thinner than some I've had and not as hearty. I took a point off for that and the appetizer which I'll talk about next, however the soup was very buttery-creamy, and the couple of clam pieces I did find were sandy which always speaks to some freshness. The Russian Reuben "Bites" was one large potato cake with corned beef and cheese on top. There was also a drizzle of Russian dressing. It was like a deconstructed sandwich with a potato cake base. I liked the corned beef, but I really wish there would have been more dressing as the potato cake was very dry. Lastly, the chicken wings. Now, I lived in Buffalo, NY for 3 years, and they, unfortunately, have the wings I compare all wings to. So these wings were a little on the smaller side, but still overall filling. The sauce was a mix of flavors which worked together. Dip into the dressing which cooled things down just a bit. BTW - my friend loved her burger. She said it was cooked perfectly and had great flavors. She chose the coleslaw which she stated tasted fresh, and the waiter confirmed they make it in house. She's pretty sure it's a mayo base, which we both favor over Miracle Whip type dressing. I will definitely come back again, if only to try something else from that large menu... They also have Blue Plate Specials during the week, so will have to try one of those out as well... It's always nice to go where the local go as well as to a place that's friendly, inviting, and which seems to take an active role in the community. read more

Last night here and the best meal had. We so enjoyed Haddock, fish dip, scallops and the cheesiest Mac and cheese, etc. However all was made even better by our fantastically friendly server, Alex. That young man deserves a raise!( hint hint) Seriously a nice place with even nicer servers. read more

McKenna's Place is a casual bar and restaurant that offers decent food and cold drinks by a friendly staff. It is located within the strip mall so parking is not an issue. The place is relatively well maintained and the atmosphere is pretty decent. All in all, it's a decent place where neighborhood can gather to grab something to eat or get something to drink. read more

I'm from up north,very fussy about my fried seafood.10 medium sz shrimp with a dozen shitty fries! I look at my bill they got the balls to charge a$1.54 convenience fee, for who??? Remember do not tip on your entire bill theres tax in there and now a stupid other fee,subtract that bullshit and then you tip,for food and beverage,i won't be back this is the 2nd shitty experience with this dump! read more

First of alll: you're greeted warmly. Like a family member. Secondly: the food is very good. If you have a food sensitivity, they go out of their way to accommodate you. Especially Gluten sensitivities Great hang out place!!!! read more

They really go above and beyond! Gina is amazing, be sure to ask for her. She was so helpful and knowledgeable with the entire menu. Without even asking she went over their entire protocol for gluten free orders. Separate space, specially marked utensils, dedicated fryer, dedicated freezer, pasta water pots just for GF and GF colander. They even allow kitchen tours to show you how they operate. There were so many options to choose from. Chicken tenders, fries, fried shrimp, pasta, and more. She reviewed regular menu items that could be modified for GF as well. I asked about fried fish as I have a shrimp allergy and while they currently do not have that as an option (they are working on a batter) she said we can bring in our own with a phone call and 24 hours notice! They truly go above and beyond for their customers. Okay, here's what we ordered for me, I am the only GF person in our party. Chicken tenders app with ranch, 1/2 dozen raw oysters, french onion soup without croutons, pasta alfredo with blackened chicken and a side Caesar without croutons. The kids got wings and fries, husband got a lobster roll, grandma got a Reuben. Everyone loved their food. Took home lots of leftovers. We definitely over ordered but it was worth it with all the options to try. They do have a GF peanut butter pie. But we will have to try it next time because we were so full. I cannot wait to come back. I'm sure the owner would have stopped by the table had he been in, it's just that kind of place. Gina even climbed into the booth behind us to deliver food with gluten around me and not across me! I highly recommend. While I don't have symptoms when I ingest gluten I'm still super careful. I feel confident that I am safe eating here. I'll add photos next visit. I was too hungry this time and it all looked and tasted so good. Photos were an afterthought. Ambiance is that of a fun sports bar but you can still take the family. read more

The food was not fresh. They served with many causes to mask the taste of the food. Fish tacos were very messy.

Let me start by saying the owner, Chris is quite a nice guy. He was very careful to seat us safely and to make sure that our preferred football game was in our view. However, I wish the server was as good as the owner. She didn't keep her mask up over her nose which was a little annoying. We came to see the game and have some appetizers. They recommended the smoked fish dip which wasn't bad. Unfortunately I've had so many other excellent ones that this one paled in comparison. It was a little heavy on the mayonnaise and pickles. However... If that's your thing you might really like it. We also tried the nachos and salsa which was just fine. We will definitely be back because it's a great place to watch the game. read more

If you are looking for a chill bar house vibe, with the bonus of gluten free fried shrimp- this is your jive! No more fighting over who gets to choose the game, or whose fries they were (bc they're too delish not to order a second batch). Peanut butter pie for the win? Yes please! read more

Ugh! I really hate to drop a few stars...I love you guys when eating in, but take out and delivery orders never are correct. My mom was bringing home 2 Bowls of your delicious swirl. Surprise to me it was the usual one serving bowl. When she called to complain, she got the run around on container changes. Guess what? I know the covering your butt moment. The supposed new bowl size was less filling than a usual cup of your soup and somehow you're telling me that it would it is a bowl I would love to see your container comparison to see if the explanation over the phone was accurate. What a disappointment today!!! Plus your conch chowder was almost like tomato soup and conch was lacking cream. It was pretty bland and far from what I learned to expect from you guys. You may get one more try from me as it was a great hidden gem in area and reasonable pricing. We shall see...for now I'll stop recommending you until I can truly see if this is the new normal or a hiccup with untrained staff. read more

Honestly, will never order from this restaurant again Nothing that they advertised on the menu actually came with my food French onion was old and cold and had no cheese and no croutons Fish and chips are dry and french fries soggy and they didn't give me any tartar sauce, so I'm eating fish jerky tonight Sad $35 down the drain read more

I stopped by for lunch while I was running errands. I wanted to try McKennas because they had buffalo shrimp. I got a lunch portion of shrimp tossed in medium buffalo sauce.

What a great restaurant this is! Not only our server Alicia who listened carefully to our order and got it right, but the owner is amazing! He stopped by and spent at least 10 minutes with us.

Thank you! read more
