    We made an on-line reservation and after waiting 15 minutes, the hostess came to us and said they were closing the restaurant for the night. We are a fairly regular customer of McKenzies, this experience will not stop us from coming again but it will give me pause on recommending McKenzies to someone else and hope it won’t happen to us again. I would not recommend as highly as I used to recommend.

    This was our first time here, and the food was delicious! The lettuce wrap and nachos were a great starter. It wasn’t too crowded, and it wasn’t too loud. Service took a bit longer than we would have liked, and it was then that we noticed our server was working the patio and had to run from back to front. We will be back as the food was good!

    Made a reservation for 9 for an outdoor table and when I arrived, the host was seating everyone inside. When I told of the original request, she literally just walked off and didn't even tell me what she was doing. I had to leave my entire party standing there as I followed her back to the computer, where she didn't apologize or offer any explanation. She wordlessly walked to the back and threw the 9 menus down and walked away. Why on earth such a host would be at the front of the establishment is beyond me! Other than that, our waitress was lovely but service was slow we waited about 30 min for three cocktails and about 50 min for the entrees and we were almost the only table outside. Used to be a nice place but the management has let it slip into it being skippable.

    We ate outside under cover and it was a beautiful evening. Everyone enjoyed their food and there were plenty of choices for all palates. I had the cashew chicken stir fry and enjoyed it. Some. of the guys would have liked more food but it was a later dinner so they were satisfied with the amount. Also we did not have appetizers. The bill was only $25 per person and we each had a beer and an entree. That’s pretty good these days.

    We dined on McKensies' back deck which was totally lovely! Our waitress was appropriately attentive and pleasant. I had the Caesar Salad with Crab cake which was delicious. My friend had the Wedge Salad with blackened scallops which was also delicious. My boyfriend had the Jumbalaya which he enjoyed. We will definitely be back!

    We had our family Mother’s Day brunch. Nice buffet with plenty of choices plus a omelette station! Really good bloody Mary’s! Our server, David was great and very attentive. Chelsea, the bartender made great drinks…bloodies and skinny jalapeño margaritas. Colleen the manager made sure our large group was comfortable. We’ve had mothers day two years in a row…it was great both times! Definitely recommend!

    The brunch was set up wrong. The omelet station should have been set aside. We waited 20 minutes in line and didn't want an omelet. You had to get past the station to get other food.

    I went with friends for lunch. The service was very good and there were plenty of wait staff, despite having a private party or two on the deck. All of our meals were delicious. I had the Caesar salad with salmon and it was excellent. My friend ordered the Cobb salad. It looked great and she thoroughly enjoyed it. My daughter recently came here for dinner and she said the service at the bar for dinner was not good. They had a hard time putting in their order and getting any service. They had to repeatedly ask for silverware, water, etc. The food was good but it appears there is a serious lack of wait staff at dinner.

    We sat on the patio. Which was nice. Service was a little slow, no glasses for water or napkins or utensils. Food was very salty. However we would still try again because we think it was just a bad night with a lot of others wanting to go out on a Friday and enjoy the patio. The wait staff may have not been prepared. Please hold off on all the added salt.

    Food was good.. only complaint was the service. Put on the reservation that a high chair was needed. Got to the restaurant and was seated and the host just walked away before we could remind her. My husband went up to the front and she told him she already knew what he was coming for and asked to give her a minute… was about another 20 minutes until our servers showed up and had to ask them for one. The server was kind and was training someone. No complaints of the actual server. Just seemed they are short-staffed so it took about three times as long to get our order, food, and refills.
