    Outstanding burger! Cooked perfectly, decent size, bacon was crispy and the bun wasn’t too overwhelming. Fries were fresh! Great service, easy parking, wonderful location. Fair prices. Would be a terrific place to watch any kind of sports! Recommended!

    The unsweet iced tea was more like water. The quesadilla I ordered was hardly a quesadilla. The service was bad. Josh was too busy being on his phone to even ask me how the food was. I’ve given this place plenty of chances and today was the last one. Have zero plans to go back. I hope they enjoyed their zero tip.

    We enjoyed an nice lunch here. I had the hamburger and fries and my husband had the Liver and Onions special. Both were very good. Service was good and fast.

    4 stars for the customer service alone from the waiter. Barely a 3 for the food because it was passable as being edible and I was starving. Unfortunately the food came out just over luke warm, all of it was flavorless especially the sprouts despite the bacon and garlic(?), the steak did not have a consistent cook all the way through (varied between medium and mediun well when a mid-rare was requested) and the cider tasted flat. Maybe the kitchen was having an off night, but this was not a good first impression.

    Good burgers and wings - we’ll be back! The place was busy but service was friendly and efficient. Beer cold, food hot, don’t need much else.

    Snowbirds and Cruisers! Make this your new lunch or dinner stopover spot! Don't let the strip mall location fool you. These people know seafood and how to prepare it well. It is one of the few locations where as much attention is given to the sides as the main dishes. No plain, steamed vegetables here! The mixed seasonal veggies had a lovely tang with butter and parsley with other herbs lifting the natural flavors higher. The fresh catch today included red snapper. Whether blackened or grilled, the taste was as rich as salmon and as light as whitefish. Things of note: they take shellfish allergies seriously. Our fish was served first to insure the shellfish also ordered at the table in no way touched the food of the allergen sensitive person. They have a gluten-free fryer. The location is smoke and Valentine's free. Really, with the locals lining up as it opened, we knew we were probably in luck, and it turned out to be the best. Go that couple of miles and get some real local food. Your stomach will thank you.

    We chose to sit in the bar area, our server came over to get our drinks quickly. Our server answered all of our many questions without the appearance of being annoyed. Very friendly and super helpful. Ordered the spinach artichoke dip and it tasted freshly made and had great flavor. Ordered the grilled blackened chicken with the Irish potato cake. The seasoning was on point and the chicken was not dry. The Irish potato cake was very flavorful. I ordered the crab cakes with the Irish potato cake. The remoulade sauce was absolutely fantastic and the crab cakes were cooked perfectly and had tiny pieces of carrot, celery and onion that gave it a nice crunch without being overwhelming and taking over. Probably one of the best crab cakes I've had. If I lived in town I would make this a definite stop frequently. Highly recommend!

    Good tenders, good grilled cheese, pretty good fries. Ate there twice on the trip and enjoyed it both times. Didn't love the Irish Potato Cakes, but definitely worth giving a try if you haven't had them. Definitely get the Curds, they are fantastic.

    Meh experience at best. Came in with the kids on a Saturday evening. Busy but not packed, we were promptly seated, server came over quickly also to ask for drinks. Put in order for nachos as appetizer, then put in main order a bit after that. Appetizers seemed to be taking a bit long, and surprise main order came out, no appetizer in sight. My burger came out with a pile of fried onions, when I asked for no onions. Thankfully I could scrape most of them off - most. Person who brought our order out (not server) said they were waiting on our fries, but a few moments later party that got sat some minutes after us has their food brought out with what looked like plenty of fries. Server finally comes over with the appetizer and a half hearted apology - “they must have forgotten about you.” I would have expected a comp on the appetizer, but no such luck. Doubt we’ll be back.

    Leaving Biketoberfest but needed to grab a bite. Always wanted to try Lobster roll but seeing the reviews we decided to try it. ..the reviews were correct. It will not disappoint. Simply delicious and McKenna will now be a must visit when we come back to Daytona. Thank you McKenna's for making my first experience with lobster roll so memorable.

    The food was awesome! The best seafood of the trip. It was so good we went back on our last night. The service was the best. Brett is great! I’m so glad we have found this! Try Crunchy fish and a Rum Runner.

  • 5/5 Kelly M. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered from a delivery service. When the food arrived we were missing one entree. We called in and were told they would send us a whole new order immediately. Since it was late, we decided we would just make do with what we had. They reimbursed us for the whole meal. The food was amazing as well. Highly recommend this place when your in the area!

  • 5/5 Rob B. 1 year ago on Google
    The service by Tonya was great! Food was delicious. I ordered the lobster roll and a botanical spritz for lunch. Perfectly light and refreshing! My wife ordered the seafood platter, it came with heaping servings of delicious fried seafood. We plan on making this a favorite stop. We highly recommend a visit. You wont be disappointed.

    If I could give it 0 stars I would The overall experience was okay and appealing but once we sat down and ordered our drinks were not fresh. We requested sweet tea and it tasted like it came from the tap. We then ordered the pretzel sticks which were good but not for $10. As our entrees came I had gotten the Lobster roll and my girlfriend got the fried shrimp which was seemingly old and stale. The lobster roll was just one giant slice of bread. The meal was decent and the overall ruining for the experience was that I was overcharged by nearly $50 on my bill. 2 drinks, an appetizer, and 2 meals coming out to $80? This was absurd. Don’t buy the lobster roll as they didn’t state a price for it online or on the menu and decided to charge me whatever they saw fit. I will not be returning here as the establishment was dirty and the food was mediocre for the outrageous pricing. I always check reviews before eating and all the reviews were good but they seemed to take advantage. I don’t recommend anything from there being it’s all overpriced for a outlet restaurant. Sucks to say I’ve never been mad enough to write a bad review. Needless to say I was not happy with my experience and was robbed for an addition cost without being given or shown a receipt.

  • 5/5 Teresa B. 1 year ago on Google
    Visiting from Ohio and we were recommended to come here by the neighbors and I am so glad we did. I ordered the sirloin steak and Brussels sprouts and the steak was definitely the best steak I have ever had, it melted in my mouth and was cooked perfectly. Melissa our server was so nice and made sure everything was good and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested what she liked because we couldn't decide what we wanted as everything on the menu sounded amazing. I highly recommend coming here if you are new to the area.

  • 4/5 Geoffrey P. 11 months ago on Google
    We started off with an appetizer with our drinks. Drinks came very quickly. The spinach dip was not so great. The cheese wasn’t completely melted. I guess the best way to describe it was it was Luke warm. I think it would have been much better if it was cooked a little longer. My wife had the shrimp Alfredo. She said it isn’t supposed to be cooked with spaghetti noodles and this was. I had the combo with shrimp and oysters. I asked the waiter if the 4 shrimp and 5 oysters was going to be enough for a meal. He assured me it was a meal. So I figured they used big shrimp and oysters. Not so. Just regular old medium sized shrimp and small oysters. Other reviewers mentioned the portions were too small. Disappointed in price for such small portions. Waiter wasn’t very attentive to us.

    Aron is such an amazing person that enjoys his job and making people smile. I ate everything he suggested and it was delicious! Asked for dessert and it was before me in snap! WOW!!! This place is AWESOME. Wish I lived closer to hang out here more often. From the moment I walked in, I felt invited, attended to, like I was the only one in this packed place. The football on the screen made it feel like home, the service made me feel like they w re happy to see me.

  • 5/5 Jane S. 6 months ago on Google
    What an amazing place! We had a large group tonight and had the best waiter, Alex. I've never seen anyone so happy, all the time. He was fantastic, very professional and was a great server!!! The food was delicious. I had the fish tacos. They came out hot and was so much more than I expected. The bang bang sauce really made the dish. Thanks for a wonderful evening Alex!

    Found this place while driving around looking for a new place to try for lunch and man was it a treat. The menu had a great selection of a combination of seafood and other classics, like Ruben's, burgers, steaks so even for my friend who doesn't enjoy seafood there were plenty of options. Most of the food was reasonably priced. I had the lobster roll which was a little pricer but I'd never had one before and wanted to try it. It was delicious, I had it as the hot with butter option, though I do wish I had tried the cold one. My friend had a Ruben which looked awesome and well sized. Surprisingly the star of the show was our appetizer, the spinach and artichoke dip. Absolutely the best dip I've ever had. The food was only one upped by the service which was awesome, our server was so friendly and helpful. Honestly one of the best lunches out I've had in years, couldn't recommend the place enough and can't wait to get a chance to return!

  • 5/5 Matthew O. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered wings, Philly cheesesteak, crab cakes & a lobster roll. The food was very good and the wait was only 20 minutes. Will definitely be back. Thanks.

  • 5/5 Lynne L. 3 years ago on Google
    Found this place based on the great reviews and they were spot on. Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. We hit it during happy hour so two for one margaritas. We had a table full of appetizers to share (all delicious) and I ordered the 1/2 lb. lobster roll which was actually two lobster rolls. I'm always hesitant to order lobster roll because I've been disappointed too many times. But I'm so glad I ordered it because it was the best lobster roll ever! We will be back for sure!

  • 5/5 Carol M. 3 years ago on Google
    This is such a fun place-- it is the only restaurant that we visit weekly. The food is terrific! I love the McKenna's Burger with the french-fried onions. And the lobster rolls. The bread-stick & cheese dip is wonderful! The staff is very friendly. We also enjoy the decorations that are put up for every holiday.

  • 4/5 Corey L. 3 years ago on Google
    Basic pub food with lots of sport channels playing on the big screens, but all were muted so you could still have a conversation. Crab roll is great as are their burgers.

  • 5/5 William M. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a great lunch. Chowder and wings. It's all good at McKenna's. And service is awesome too.

  • 1/5 Angela M. 3 years ago on Google
    I was so excited for a good lobster roll an I was pretty disappointed I paid $18 for a container of chewy lobster meat and a little buttered roll. The gentleman that gave me the to-go order was rude and I purchased a soda as well taking my bill to $22 and it tastes like flat soda mixed with tap water. Any other place I'd have called and gotten it remade but it didn't even seem like a place that would have entertained that idea.

  • 5/5 Tim I. 3 years ago on Google
    Great seafood, fast service, and friendly staff. Lobster rolls and the seafood platter were both great. I'd recommend it.

    FOUND THE HIDDEN GEM. One would never think passing by this place they have a better raw bar than the restaurants by the ocean. plumby clams, oysters and the lobster roll looks straight out of New England. Service was outstanding on a busy night!

  • 2/5 Bobby C. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was okay.... I could tell it wasn't made with Irish love.. It didn't have the taste of authentic Irish food... There's a subways eight next door that also has good sandwiches.... The wings were just terrible....

    Dec 31 2020: I wish we would have found McKenna's earlier in our visit to Port Orange. The atmosphere is friendly and the food is authentic and delicious. We had the best Spinach Artichoke dip ever. The portions are large. Thank you Jessica P for the great service.

    Camping in Port Orange with friends and went to McKenna's for dinner last night and just had a outstanding fun time! Our waitress - Amber- was very attentive to our needs making suggestions on what were the house specials and gave us directions to other attractions we were looking for. And then the owner (THE Mr Mckenna) came over to our table for a "friendly" chat and the fun started! He roasted my butt like I had known him all my life! After about 15 minutes and many belly laughs we were on our way. Highly recommend this restaurant!]
