This is not five star cuisine. However, this is, without a shadow of a doubt, a five star establishment. The oldest Irish pub on the "Emerald Mile" does not disappoint. Beautiful wood interior, & the regulars at lunch on a weekday (who appear to have known each other for decades) may not exactly be warmly welcoming, but are certainly courteous and accommodating. Good Guinness pours (of course!), & on a freezing day, most people were having the shepherd's pie & really enjoying it. (I had soup, salad, & wings.) Overheard conversations: "I remember what I was doing during the blackout of '77 - I was down the block at the old theatre seeing 'Black Sunday'." "How the hell were you seeing a movie? It was a blackout?" read more

McKeon's Bar and Restaurant - Oldest pub on the Emerald Mile - Bars Near Me - Yonkers, New York

So we were told this place has amazing steaks and it was hard to be in a Irish pub and not get traditional Irish food but we got the steaks as recommended I got the 16oz and my wife got the filet and shrimp special the food was good, not going to say it was the best I ever had or the the worst, we will leave it as it was good . One of my frustrations was that the peppercorn sauce was an additional, based on other places this is something that is normally included or at least can be added, $6 for a cup of sauce was pretty higher, on the other note the sauce was very good The service was good, waitress was attentive as much as needed and not overwhelming or absent. The ambiance is an Irish bar, on one note I would have preferred some Irish music playing vs the 80s music that they had going or on the tvs the news and something bloody. Overall a great experience! read more

Best buffalo wings in the neighborhood by far! Great service. Friendly staff. Very accommodating. Couldn't run my card last time I was there & the lady behind the bar was kind enough to take down the info to run for me later since I didn't have cash. Love this place. read more

I'm big fan of McKeon's these days. Recently I've had several excellent meals there. The staff is friendly and accomadating. I'll go out on a limb and say that, food wise, it's the best of the traditional Irish pubs in the Woodlawn area. Sorry, Rory . . .. read more

Best wings in the area. Great food in general. Guinness. Awesome bartenders. Did I mention Guinness? read more

Came in for a couple drinks and some lunch. It's a nice Irish pub on Mclean. Sat at the bar and was watching some sports. Got myself a delicious cider on a hot day. I ordered the fish & chips for my lunch. The portion size was very nice. The fish was flaky and delicious. The chips were cooked nicely. It came with a bit of salad as well. It was a very tasty plate. The place itself gives off kind of a regulars vibe, but being new it wasn't intimidating. The bartender was attentive and nice. The place itself seemed very clean. read more

Cozy Irish dinner spot in Yonkers near the Bronx border of NYC. The prices for our dinner were very reasonable and if you like steak, then you won't find much better in the area. They offer 16 oz. or 14 oz. sizzling steaks with mushroom and onions that were delicious. Each meal comes with soup and salad. The seafood dinner special was also delicious. Very friendly service and polite patrons from the neighborhood. Will definitely add it to my short list when in the area. read more

McKeon's Bar and Restaurant - steak with onions and mushrooms - Bars Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Our first time here. Great family dinner last week. The service was very friendly, which I think is so important! Our waitress was so efficient and informative. The food arrived hot and was delicious. The drinks were strong and just the way I like it-kettle one and tonic with lemon (not lime). I will definitely be back for the chicken burger. I will recommend to friends and family. read more

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday. Very friendly service and good food. The menu has quite a few Irish favorites so i just may have to come back. read more

McKeon's Bar and Restaurant - Small but good selection of draft beer - Bars Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Streak overdone and worst old fashioned I've ever Had, they obviously need new staff, won't be spending my money here again.

intimate setting...nice for a quiet drink...or a dinner date =) I was just there last week...they have excellent steaks! Be warned...order them more rare than you'd like...I ordered mine medium...and it came medium well. But other than that...the sauces were amazing...fresh food...and the wine's not bad either. Of course next time, I'll have to check out the beer selection. Another thing to mention...they have boarding rooms above the pub in case you have friends or family visiting from out of town...very reasonable too! read more

The food is good! I had a burger with steak fries and it was extremely tasty. My husband had the wings and they were amazing. He's very picky with wings but they have a fan now. Service is good. Nice calm vibe. Not too loud at all. read more

This is a small Irish Bar and Restaurant along Mclean Ave. in Yonkers. Accessible by bus 25 and street parking. ATMOSPHERE: They have a small bar area in the front where you can talk and socialize, DJs on Friday and Saturday, they have a few booths and a small separate room in the back with a few more tables for dining. SERVICE: I had no bad experience with the service here. The staffs are friendly and very attentive. They give us time to talk, suggest whats good in the menu, offers specials and desserts. FOOD: Food is ok. more of a bar and pub food. they offer salads, steaks, burgers. Tonight, I tried their 14 oz famous steak for $19.99, it comes with soup or salad, I chose the soup which is a cup of mushroom soup. It was good especially with a cold weather outside.... then I ordered 14 oz steak medium rare but I got mine well done. Its dry, mushroom is salty, chewy....I could get better in Rory Dolans one block from here. Overall, its a good place for a beer and some starters or pub foods. read more

Have the waitresses been taking notes from the Irish Coffee Shop School of Serving? What we experienced was nothing short of abysmal. We had to flag our own waitress down on more than one occasion and her colleague was rude to high heavens. Food has gone downhill which is a pity. Used to be our weekend go-to but we'll take our business elsewhere. read more

I have tried many restaurants in Yonkers, This is our favorite Irish restaurant on McLean Avenue. The proprietors are friendly and welcoming. The menu is full of many specialty dishes. The roscommon chicken is among one of my favorites. The wait staff is very accommodating & knowledgeable. The bartenders will whip up your favorite drink in a snap with a smile. read more

It's one of the best pubs you will ever go to. Good food ,they pour a great pint and the owners and staff are all wonderful people. Go here and you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Mc Keons for years. There steaks are superb, they come out of a sizzling platter, great irish soups, I love that you get a soupo or salad with the meal.

I highly reccommend this restaurant and they have entertainement on weekends. Enjoy read more

As another reviewer noted, brunch is mediocre, but the steaks are amazing! All the entrees are, but I always order a filet with mixed veg and turnip. I love turnips! The staff is wonderful as well. My family has been celebrating every birthday and special occasion here for at least 5 years. A wonderful neighborhood gem. read more

Had Shepard's pie and it was tasty, service was excellent however was a little put off by the loud conversation coming from the bar. It was clean and the food was fresh, would definitely recommend for a tasty meal and good old fashioned Irish grub read more

The food was ok and inexpensive. The waitress was a bit over the top in her frustration when i dared to ask what bottle beers they had...after she had to recite all 6 or so beers they had on draft. It was pretty rude. The onion rings are good though. The beer selection includes only beers you drank in the woods when you were 17 though. Pretty limited. read more

Great food, great service and a beautiful little pub. The early bird is a fantastic deal!!

This used to be a favorite of ours for good quality food and good service. Yesterday's brunch knocked it off our list. Simple enough, there were only three of us, and it was not at all busy. Our daughter ordered the eggs with sausage, and rashers. It come with potatoes and toast. She asked if they could make scrambled egg whites. The server said she doubted it because he doesn't do that, but since the restaurant wasn't busy perhaps he would. Right off the bat I have a problem with the chef. He doesn't do that??? His job is predicated on happy customers getting their food the way the like it. It's his job to "do that". If customers can't get that, they won't come back which is the case with us. So my daughter went with regular scrambled eggs. She asked that the potatoes, and rashers be put on a separate plate. The server said yes, no problem. Well guess what, it all comes out all in one plate, and the waitress is not around. So now my daughter is tea spooning the greasy potatoes off her plate, and then wiping the plate down because the diva chef couldn't be bothered to honor a customers request. Finally the server comes over and asks "he didn't put it on a separate plate?" (She saw he didn't, why ask us, go ask him why?) We said no, and she responded with "I asked". Personally, I think she should have gone to the manager about it. I think management should get their kitchen staff in check because it's just not good business. We won't be back to McKeons. There are loads of places up on McLean Avenue that are more than willing to handle two minimal special requests from a customer in order to keep them happy. read more

Had brunch here a couple of Sundays ago and was unimpressed with it. I ordered Eggs Benedict the yolks were completely cooked thru like a hard boiled egg would be. My husband ordered eggs over easy with his Irish Breakfast and the same thing happened to him. They were able to accommodate our group of 10 which was great! The atmosphere was OK but we live in the area and more than likely will not be returning for brunch.....there are a few other places on McLean that do it better. The bar was nice though, we would definitely come again to have a few pints but we'll eat elsewhere. read more

Small but quaint setting. Great food. Good drinks. Nice music. Enjoyable environment. Unlike some other places nearby, this restaurant doesn't put on any airs and graces. I love the down-to-earth feel. read more

They have no knowledge regarding food allergies at all thinking how you cook the food doesnt matter.(cooked in same oil as foods you are allergic to). When we tried to nicely explain they became very defensive and confrontational. read more

Party of four adults, burgers for two, chicken pot pie for the other two people. I had the no chicken no vegetables pot pie. Two string beans. Two peas, two shoe string size pieces of chicken. In other words, bare pot pie, virtually no food in dish. Crust very good, filling of creamy sauce ok. Burgers average , service good. Not going back , ate there twice , that's enough of this place. read more

I have eaten here many times, but my experience on Saturday evening was shocking. I was extremely excited when I seen on the menu, fillet mignon, portobello mushroom and gorgonzola, my favourite and even told the waitress that my diet was going out the window. I asked for steak medium but not too bloody to which she said you better have it medium well, I was like, but I like it pink. Low and behold my steak came out like cardboard. I took one mouthful and told her it was over cooked. She said 'sorry about that' and left me with a full plate until my husband, had finished his. The owner was not around this evening but his partner was and she asked the waitress what was wrong with my meal. She never came near me, but ignored me. I asked for the cheque, and was charged full price of $28 for one mouthful of steak and a tap on the back (seriously), shame about your steak!! They've now lost 2 loyal customers who went once a week. read more
