I ordered the pumpkin pancake… diner food usually upsets my stomach but this was made with love. I will definitely order again, I ended up eating the leftover for dinner because they gave us plenty.

Food Was great...their burgers are huge and scrumptious...and I always liked their potato salad 💪🏾 And I left my phone there and of course they had it for me the next day...Great Food & Coffee Spot💪🏾

The mayor’s special is the best breakfast I’ve had in my life, it’s the golden standard I hold other breakfasts to. I’ll go out of my way to come to McKennas when I’m in town.

Came here on a not so busy Sunday, was seated as a couple in about 15 minutes. Ordered coffee and tea, server did not know what herbal tea is. Food came out fast, was fine. I had the French toast with a side of bacon. The bacon was not flavorful, and not very crispy. My wife had the avocado eggs Benedict, nice fresh avocado and good potatoes. Overall an acceptable meal, but not something I would stand in line for.

Formerly loyal, now fed up.
McKenna’s used to be a reliable neighborhood spot, but their new billing practices are downright deceptive. They now tack on an automatic 18% gratuity plus other fees at the initial credit card charge—without informing customers. The receipt still includes a tip line, so like me, you might unknowingly double tip for a basic breakfast. That’s not just sneaky—it’s abusive.
I’ve supported this place for years, but this kind of quiet gouging is a dealbreaker. If you value transparency, walk three minutes to Harp & Bard or Honeycomb Café—both offer good food without the hidden charges

I've only ever ordered through DD or UE. I used to order from here sometimes , since our local diner in Quincy shut down. However, I don't know if they changed the ingredients, chefs, the food is phenomenal!!The breakfast is so good! Home fries, perfectly seasoned and cooked. Also the protions easily split a meal between 2. 🫶🏻

I don't usually do breakfast reviews but I had to do this one, I was seated and looked at the menu I saw a senior/ little league plate which I asked for the waitress would tell me it's for kids I told her it says senior and explained to her I had it before and there was no problem she went on to tell me that I cannot order that I changed me order to a short stack of pancake and side of ham , the pancake was a bit stiff at the edges , we had to ask for more coffee which my waitress did bring left had to get her attention for some creamer for coffee , a while later she came and just rest the bill on the table, I had to get her attention for a to go box for my left overs cause due to dietary restrictions I cannot eat all my food , brought the box with no plastic bag had to get someone else attention to get a plastic bag , the waitress never check in on me to ask how was everything , if I needed anything else nothing on top of that for 2 people they charge me 18% gratuity for what lousy service , not forgetting today is my Birthday and this is how my day started, I was a waitress before in a breakfast dinner which you gave great service because you are depending on tips but I guess charging people 18% gratuity they don't have to gave great service cause their tip is guaranteed , this will be my last visit to this establishment.
