McKennas is one of the top choices for breakfast in Boston. The menu has a wide variety of choices for lunch also. The scenery is cool filled with old school classic diner pics. Everything I’ve tried was pretty good if not excellent. I like they have non dairy options for coffee and also vegetarian. Just get there early on weekends or be prepared for a light wait.
Parking: You have to find a spot on the street you may have to walk back a minute or so after finding a good spot on a busy day
Kid-friendliness: Cool for kids too
Wheelchair accessibility: Small place but is located on the first floor may be hard moving around

McKenna’s has a clean, fun diner-type atmosphere . It was crowded, but we figured that was a good sign. It is right next to the T station. Service was excellent. Our food was good, what I would expect at a diner.

Excellent Boston style diner; an institution frequented by the local police and fire departments — a strong testimonial for any diner.

A neighborhood classic in Savin Hill serving decently affordable and decent food. The line is insane on weekends.

My favorite breakfast spot in Boston (Savin Hill)... they are popular place for good reason even though seating is limited. Great food, reasonable price and servers mostly friendly and efficient. Can be busy but worth a wait for one of those coveted tables.

Out of this small diner comes out great food!The wait is fair given the space & customers coming in to dine. The staff are constantly on the move and attentive to everyone & everything which is what makes the service go by quickly. Would like to also give recognition to the kitchen staff for their efficiency! The space is small and it’s amazing how they produce both dine in and take out so fast while maintaining a clean workspace. The food tastes great and the price is fair for the quantity. The choice of bean for the American coffee tastes real good and not bitter. Can you tell how amazed I am with this place? Glad I accepted the recommendation and I’d come whenever I’m in dorchester

The aesthetic and vibe of this place is everything. The service was top notch, super polite, friendly, accommodating. My steak omelet was extremely dry and flavorless, my toast was burnt and I didn't recieve the baked beans that it said it came with. Parking was very tough to find, especially with construction redirecting you. I tipped well for the excellent service, but I wouldn't come back here to eat.

My pancakes were delicious, but my scrambled eggs had something black in them from maybe the grill being dirty. Scrambled eggs are yellow, and it took a long time to get our food
