The bar food here is tasty, especially the happy hour menu. Service is always attentive. The environment is definitely your local watering hole! We come here all the time for drinks and snacks and the occasional breakfast. read more

McKenzie Pub - Happy hour Chicken salad wraps and some Breakfast - American Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

The service was great. Our first time trying this place. Our cocktail was great. Food was just alright, nothing to crave to want to come back for. read more

A woman's plea: I love this place, I love you guys, But please dear owner, hear my cries! A woman needs a place to pee. One that is fairly clean And has T.P. Hand soap and towels In surplus These bare necessities Are a must. You see as a woman The drinks go right through, So our bathroom visits Are more then a few. I ask this kindly On behalf of all woman kind, And I'm certain the men Also wouldn't mind. I hope this review is heard, And the next time I come, I will find the bathrooms clean, And T.P. for my bum :) With love : Your long time customer, Katrina read more

Very good food Fair beer selection, if you like IPAs Yet, the staff is always curt, rarely friendly Longtime bartender Dave is rude and occasionally abusive Kelly is the only top notch staff member I would eat Herr more often if the staff was nice read more

We came here on Father's Day at 11 am, the place was full. It became immediately apparent there was only 1 server working. We overheard her tell another table they didn't have a dishwasher. We weren't sure if that meant labor, equipment, or both. She also shared this was her 4th day. She should get a medal because she was running, trying to take care of everyone. She also had to brew coffee, bus tables, and get orders from the bar. We saw several tables leave due to the wait, and the rest of the tables either got the wrong food, or got food that was cold, undercooked, or overcooked. This was NOT the server's fault. Management and ownership should be ashamed as this falls on them. McKenzie Pub used to have good, reliable food quality but the last two years have been a downhill slide. If someone is looking for a great hire that moves FAST, go talk to the one here that started the week of June 9! read more

About as average as they get- it reminds me of a discount McMenamin's (especially the strip mall location, with an attempt to spruce it up a bit and make it seem a bit less industrial.) Got mozzarella sticks and fries- portions were generous and the food was decent, though nothing to write home about. Bartender was rude and off-putting at first, but warmed up to us on round two for some reason. Drinks are reasonably priced- they have a decent tap selection, with one of those modern boards that shows you the price, alcohol percentage, what is remaining in the keg and the location of the brewery. Seems more like a place to catch the game or a UFC fight; not my scene, but if that is something you are into, you can probably give this place another star. Would I come here again? Probably not. It's a decent watering whole, but fairly non-descript and lacking in charm. read more

I love the people. Servers have always been friendly with me. Good drinks. Good food. Fun Karaoke. Been visiting here for several years and have always had a good experience. read more

Been here plenty of times for karaoke, but had never tried their food...guess I was missing out. The Breakfast was really really good! The bar was busy for being 11am on a Sunday, but dining room was family friendly. 7 of 8 tables in the dining room were all families. Plus - The music in the background was on point. Hidden gem .. we will definitely be back. When in Sherwood and looking awesome breakfast, you have to give McKenzie a try. A+ read more

McKenzie Pub - Was the corned beef hash - American Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

They have a new menu plus happy hour choices. The shrimp wrap was delicious and the carnitas nachos.

Great looking pub. Good beer selection and mixed drinks. Food no so good. It WAS pretty amazing, but now, just bad pub preparation. Under fried tots, over fried shrooms, dry, very dry pork sliders. Bummer for sure. read more

Dog in the restaurant part of the bar. Come on now. I love animals but I don't go out to eat to eat around them. I'm unsure why this is allowed around food. Service was great, however I went to watch Duck game, it was so damn cold all the other people watching left to go next door were it was warm. It was like sitting outside in freezing weather. read more

Love the food and cider. Dislike the chilly environment like no heat and maybe get a double door so the patrons don't freeze every time someone opens the door.. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! read more

I am going to start this by saying I have very high standards. I have worked as a bartender in much higher stress situations than here, I have been going to karaoke bars for years and my partner is a karaoke DJ. Tonight we held his birthday party here based on 3 visits and thinking it would be a good fit for 20 (or so) people to celebrate. The bartenders are pretty good, though one seems to disappear for long periods at time, the food is standard bar food though a little over priced for the quality. If I was only reviewing those things they would get 3 stars. They are getting one star because of the karaoke DJ and the fact that she shows blatant favoritism towards "regular" customers. Towards the end of the night multiple regulars had the opportunity to sing twice while people with us didn't sing at all. She would give some people more tome than others to get to the mic when called than others and she started some singers songs before the singer got to the mic. We would become regulars here if not for the lack of perfesionalism from Carried Away Entertainment. If you are looking to hire a DK/KJ and want professionalism look somewhere else. read more

We have been coming here for many years now and I can honestly say its still a solid solid burger. Atmosphere is friendly neighborhood bar lots of regulars and locals. Service was straight forward fantastic with the bartender handling tables and the bar and doing a fantastic job. She greeted us friendly and quick food came out fast and she never missed a beat with drink refills and extra ranch and blue cheese for the tots. Great place for a great burger. read more

Dive type local bar with decent bar food, seems like a local hangout, friendly-ish service.

With another lock down approaching, I hope the local businesses in Sherwood including this establishment are forced to change their ways. This "good ol boy" routine is really bad for business. Take the opportunity and clean house a little. Your outdated bar staff needs a change for years. We are going to find out pretty quick who remains relevant and who doesn't. I hope everyone stays safe as COVID continues to take its toll. Poor customer service is completely intolerable in this climate!! Good Luck! I am sorry after 5 years of coming in there it took so long for me to post this honest depiction of your bar! read more

First off, the food is OK so I would give it 3 stars normally. Unfortunately, I HATE being deceived and I DISLIKE too much for things. I was looking for a place to throw $40 into a video poker machine plus could get some decent bar food. I went to this place once before and had a burger and a soda (had to go back to work therefore no beer.... ugh!). I won a little money so I had the guy take my tab out for the $48 ticket and I did not notice the cost so much. Today I went after deciding what I wanted by looking at the menu from their website. After losing my $40, I went to pay my tab and found that the $7.50 small nacho is actually $9.50 & the soda was $2.50. The two dollar difference is quite a bit to be off from the price on the website. If you are going to raise prices ($2 is a lot to raise at one time) then you better be doing the same on your website. It's a lot easier to change that than make up a new menu, have it printed and put it in the plastic covers. Next. . . . $2.50 for a soda?? I don't mind paying for a soda but that is a lot. Besides, a good share of pubs/bars today give away soda free to those playing video lottery. I came here because JB O'brien's in King City has expensive food BUT you don't have to pay for the soda while you play. Now that I know the soda is so expensive here, I might as well pay more for the food and go back to O'brien's which is closer to my work. Sorry McKenzie Pub, you just priced yourself out of my price range and ruined my trust. read more

Hey, it's a bar. Close to a friends house, which makes it the destination of choice when in the area. It's one of those bars that has peanut shells all over the ground. I actually find this sort of gross, especially if they get all wet from spillage or rain being tracked about. Foods ok. I had a burger and fries once and they were average. A group of friends ordered the gut busting Large Nachos and managed to finish it. If you do order this particular platter, make sure there are at least 4 in your party to share. I've only ordered a beer here once, and that's probably my last time. The order was taken at a table and then the waiter promptly forgot about it. It wasn't until about a half hour later when a friend asked "Hey, didn't you order a beer?" and I realized he was right. . .my beer was MIA. (Since I'm not a big drinker, I hadn't even noticed). My dear friend then went up to the bar and asked said waiter where my beer had gone. He was able to get my beer, but the waiter never showed with an apology for me. Oh well, since it's the spot all my friends love to play pool at, I will be back, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. read more

McKenzie Pub - the front of the restaurant at night - American Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

HORRIBLE SERVICE. Don't bother with this place. Waiters completely ignore you and just stand behind the bar. read more

Great place to stop for pre-movie cocktail & apps. Service is quick, drinks strong, and atmosphere is semi dive-bar. We also enjoy them for Sunday breakfast with Football during season. Tons of TV's, and if you are there early, they with put your tv on your game. read more

I seriously enjoy this place and staff but the fact last call is as early as 12:00 and now Kareoke ends at 1230 (fairly new change) is so crazy and rediculous. They are the one bar that closes at a decent hour, 1:00, but with unanounced and inconsistant last call before 12:30, the 1:00 AM close is misleading. mind if they just had last call at 12:45. Tonight, they closed super early. I went to order at 12:15, but they already stopped serving. I believe this is ownership and city, not management. If it is management, then I am even more dissapointed read more

Love this place. Great atmosphere, good service and the food is good. It's nothing special but as far as bar food goes it's just fine. The best thing about this place is the atmosphere, it's probably the liveliest place in Sherwood and I've had many good nights there with friends. Will always go back read more

I really enjoy this little divert bar in Sherwood. It doesn't get enough credit. Good food and drinks at a great price. Plus morning happy hour! read more

Heading to the beach and wanted breakfast first. Found this place on yelp. We had the traditional Eggs Benedict, and what they call Redneck Benedict-- split biscuit with sausage patty smothered in country gravy. Both were really good. I will put it this way. I love Eggs Benedict and have eatten it at many places. The quality here was unexpected. Choice of hash browns or country potatoes was also nice. We had both and they came out perfect. Worth trying if you are around some weekend in search of breakfast. read more

constant cold nachos. cold raw wings. and never a "so sorry". I also hear other patrons bring food back saying "it's soggy cold". I had grandparents come for breakfast. They said. without me saying anything. "everything is luke warm and cold. Soup. the potatoes aren't even cooked" Its like they're afraid to tell the cooks. if they simply improved. Such potent. read more

I've come here many times over the past few years and everyone is always so pleasant! Great food, drinks, and just a great environment. Karaoke is fun here too! read more

It seems like this is the second choice for a lot of people in this area. It was our second choice too. I mean c'mon, who is going to seek out a pub in a strip mall? Well we didn't seek it out, but will probably do so in a future and you should too. Their menu was pretty big for a pub with lots of variations on salads, burgers and sandwiches, they even do pasta and some steak. The breakfast menu looks appealing and they serve breakfast until 1 on weekends. We split the bbq pork sandwich with a side of potato salad. I was a little nervous when bf ordered it as I thought it was going to be a nasty glop of Reser's, but it was actually home made and pretty delicious. I also loved the bbq sauce and I'm guessing (hoping) that was their own recipe too. And did I mention we split this? We didn't leave hungry either! Our sandwich and two of the beers on special came to $11. And then there's the beer. They offer a lot of specials, but it doesn't seem to be on the good stuff. I'd add them to my beer list, but their biggest local offerings were Deschutes, Widmer and Ninkasi, all solid choices and I'm happy with that, but would probably seek them out more if there was a bit more local flavor. The vibe was relaxed and there were plenty of tvs to view the games. Our server was friendly and quick and she took good care of our large group. So that's what I get for judging a place in a strip mall before trying it. A delicious meal, some decent beer and great service. Well played strip mall pub. Well played..... read more

This pub has a great breakfast and the burgers are good. The staff is friendly and professional. I have one major complaint that has pledged this establishment for years.....the men's restroom is discussing. Leaky plumbing, holes in the walls, overflowing trash cans and the stench of urine is overwhelming. This has been a problem for years! Went in for breakfast on a Friday morning. There was only a few people in restaurant but server bartender seemed distracted and the service was slow. read more

My wife and family and I have patronized McKenzie pub regularly since they opened in Sherwood some 17 years ago. For all these years they have provided very good food and service, and have been very accommodating to our special needs son. I know most all of the servers, and especially like Bruce. However I had a very bad experience several weeks ago when i was there on a Wednesday afternoon right after work by myself. The female server literally threw a dollar in my face and screamed at me when I questioned why the two songs I put in the jukebox still had not been played after 45 minutes ... in a literally empty bar. Another patron sitting near me was dumbfounded at her arrogance and nastiness over such minor an issue. Afterwards another friend of mine went in discreetly and heard them discussing it and laughing. It turns out that the server and her non-employee friend were monopolizing the machine through a phone app thus denying paying customers access. Well, I was willing to let it go, and I haven't been back there ... until tonight. Meeting my wife there on a busy Sunday NFL night, I noticed that particular server was working. Mysteriously that very obscure song that I waited almost an hour for months ago came on ... with no one else playing any music (it's a Sunday ... NFL games on every screen). It was obvious the server played the song ... either as an apology, or as a taunting F.U. I assumed it was as an apology thus I thanked her for playing it ... at which point she made it obvious that it was indeed an F.U. I am absolutely amazed at this behavior as I did absolutely nothing to deserve it. Needless to say, after almost 20 years as faithful customers, neither me nor anyone in my family will ever be back ... as long as this disturbed individual is employed there. I hope the McKenzie Pub management is concerned that they have a waitress that is actively trying to intimidate a longtime family-oriented customer read more

Popped in here last evening 4/8 on the way to a friends house. I have to say that this place is a hidden gem. I have been over in this area many times and never even knew this place was over here. A girlfriend of mine recently mentioned this place and it is near her home. The bartender was very pleasant and helpful, even introduced my BF to some new IPA. Looks like a place with regulars, what little hole in the wall isn't? I'm glad to say that I would certainly come back and experience the place again. Don't get back in that area much but when I do, I will come here and maybe try the food out this time. I love to see what is available as far as good food goes. You never know the places you'll find it! read more

There are some of those times where people really rock. Coupled with the right atmosphere, your day doesn't get too much better. I took the opportunity to come into McKenzie Pub this evening, April 11th 2015. I had a long day at National Guard drill. I didn't have a lot at the house to make and didn't feel like cooking. I came into the pub to get a good, simple meal. Not only did I get that, I received good service from Crystal, who was very chipper, not overbearing, giving me good time to make my choice and to eat my meal. It turns out that the people in the booth behind me purchased my meal for me. Crystal informed me with a big smile on her face, I only wish I could have said thanks personally. The food was good, the service was better, the atmosphere is what you'd want and expect from a pub like this. Thank you Crystal and to the strangers who purchased my meal for me. read more

My husband and I have been going to McKenzie Pub for several years now since we moved into the area. We go back time and time again for breakfast and dinner. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is half-typical bar and half-woodsy hometown restaurant. I've seen the signs that say kids can eat there until 9:00 pm, which I think is a pretty cool feature. For breakfast we always order the country combo which runs around $7 and it comes with 2 eggs, a generous helping of your choice of a meat, hashbrowns or diced potatoes AND biscuits and gravy. I usually can't eat the whole plate, but it is good and well worth the price! There is nowhere else in town that I know of where you can get that much food for that kind of a price. Dinners I switch between the typical dinner choice (steak, etc.) and their sandwiches. The BBQ pulled pork sandwich is on the larger side and has just the right amount of sauce. My husband always orders the McKenzie steak with is a steak with grilled peppers and onions on top with a baked potato, salad and garlic bread. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We don't drink much, so I can't comment on the alcohol selection very well. Have had a margarita once in a while which was good. They also have a lot of TVs around the room and one of them usually has something interesting to watch - not always the sports or NASCAR. The only downsides are some nights when you are there and it is poker night or karaoke night and it gets a bit crowded. We always have good and prompt service, even on the busy nights. read more

First time here, was not over crowded. 10am, sat down and took at least 15 min to be even acknowledged, then another 10 to get order in, then another 25 for food to arrive. Place did get busier by now. My husband's food was good he said, country fried steak. I had eggs Benedict, was ok, the sauce was weird though, almost tasted like cheese in it. Probably wouldn't recommend. Atmosphere ok, definitely understaffed. Will try again but different meal time. read more

The male bartender at Mckenzies is a real @$$hole! Went there after work with a few friends and this guy was rude, had poor service and overcharged us! NEVER GOING BACK UNTIL YOU FIRE THE BARTENDER read more

Good food. But horrid waitress. She walked past our table for over an hr With no assistance. And when we'd wave or try to get her attention she'd instantly dodge us and squeeze between stacked chairs and tables. She even dodged us so bad one time she tripped right over a group of chairs just so she wouldn't have to walk past our table. Definitely. For over an hr she ignored us so finally we stood up and went to desk and paid and left. NO TIP read more

Was going to order food there tonight. Now I won't be. went in just to get change and the bartender behind the bar was rude, unprofessional, and disrespectful. All I wanted was change! Didn't have to give me attitude or snide comments under your breath. Will never spend my money there. read more

Local above average bar/bar. Strong drinks, pretty good food, karaoke nights. Not half bad.

Great happy hour prices! Well drinks are only $3,,,,, all the food is only $3 and you get a good size order. Not a lot of meat choices, but great prices on what they do offer. There are 5 in the order of wings and 6 in the taquitos, the order of tator tots was a really good size basket. And all for only $3 each. If you're looking for a good choice of fried food and good, inexpensive drinks.... This is the happy hour for you! Service was quick and friendly. Seemed like a nice place to be. read more

I was so disappointed in this place. My sister booked a spot for mmm 50 th aNd let them know 2 months ago and called 2 weeks before the party to remind them . The guy behind the bar was a total asshole. (Not the one with pony tail) the server guy was rude. Asked us not to sit in the booths because that was fOR customers coming to wAtch the game. EXCUSE me we are paying customers and also came to watch the game. The food was HORRIBLE. Nachos were soggy, fries had no salt and cold . We used to come up every week for prime rib and quit because of the asshole bbq hind the bar has NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS.... had I known she was having my party here I would have said hell no. And when she menTioned ya going there to eat I Said no but she already had 40 people there for A suRprise ! After hearing how terrible the food was non of any us ordered food aNd instead went somewhere after to eat! Bottom line don't waste yoUr money TERRIBLE SERVICE AND FOOD HORRIBLE!!!!! read more

I've only been here for dinner, so I may return to edit this review after trying the place again as I hear the happy hour is really excellent. Anyhow, my experience here was definitely a positive one. Nice waitress, fast and attentive service, good food, and conversation was easy with my friend because it wasn't incredibly loud or busy. Ambiance was divey and bathrooms were a little messy but serviceable. read more
