Came here for Sunday Brunch. Just saw it when we drove by and wanted to check it out. Had the veggie omelet & French gimlet. My boyfriend had the morning burger & the salt lime lager. Delicious! We were both happy & full after our meal. Will come back again, nice brewery & cool vibe!

I was excited to try this place since it's so close to my house, but it was massively disappointing. I'll start by saying the server was very nice and was trying very hard, I had no problem with the server. The food on the other hand, was an utter disappointment. The avocado toast, was not fresh, and very obviously used store bought guacamole spread on toast. It did not taste good at all, and was served on a small wood platter that made it impossible to enjoy, we had to ask the server for a plate, since the yolk was running off onto the table. The huevos rancheros was very bland, it was served on corn tortillas that we're not cooked and cold, the salsa was the very bland with no flavor. The only good thing I can say was the eggs were cooked well, the recipes were just boring and bland. They were accommodating of our dog and served him some eggs and brought a bowl of ice water. The coffee was also very weak and disappointing. TLDR: the servers were nice, but the food was not good in the slightest.

My friends and I used to dine at Salute Kitchen (2 owners back), and when it changed to McKinley Brewing, we thought we'd check it out. Wow, what a disappointment this was. The restaurant itself was nothing special, empty, pretty much the same menu as before but leaving off all the good items like the hummus nachos! I ordered the chicken club sandwich and the bread was hard, the chicken was dry and the fry's were soggy. I would not come back here again and I'm sure it will be another restaurant in a couple months.

Great Bloody Mary’s. Zack our server and bartender was great. Good brunch food was fantastic and on point. I suggest you give them a whirl. We will be back for more.

I love the atmosphere outside. My bloody mary was delicious. They do need to work on the food selection and presentation. I got eggs Benedict and it appeared to be thin sliced lunch meat over cooked on stale bread with poorly poached eggs with bad hollandaise sauce. My husband got a burger that appeared to be on the warmer for a while. Tots were delish. I really hope things get better because as I said I love the atmosphere and location.

Came in just after their soft opening. Outdoor seating all metal and not very comfortable but nice. Decent beer selection, luckily something for me as I don't like IPAs. Dog friendly patio. Will try the food on next visit.

Really great experience. Worked with the management to have a larger party on the patio and they were beyond accommodating. Service was great. Truffle fries were super tasty and the Bloody Mary was the best I’ve had in a long time.

My family came to show support for McKinley’s soft opening. My husband and mom orders some beers which were good. I on the other hand ordered the Sonoran sunset and it was not good. It did not taste good, and there was a horrible after taste. For food I ordered the Chicken macncheese it’s was okay, a little too soupy for my liking the chicken was good. My husband ordered the grilled chicken club, he says it was okay, my mom ordered the All American she said it was okay but was undercooked.

Fun atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food! The sampler is a must and if you're going to get dessert, the smores are a good time. You get to roast your own marshmallows at your table. Definitely heading back in for brunch as there are some must tries on the menu!

Last night the younger gentleman was killing it. Handling a lot of tables. The young lady at the bar was also very pleasant. My burger came pink when I ordered it medium well. The older gentleman handling our table wasn't quite with it.

Great bruschetta, had gluten-free options for a couple members of our party. Fries were great. And good happy hour special

We come here about once a month. The chorizo biscuits and gravy are pretty delicious. Mimosas never disappoint either.

Me and 6 other coworkers came for brunch today, and they did not disappoint. Waiter was very attentive and made sure everyone had water and drinks they selected. $3 mimosas were THE BEST and was everyone's favorite especially with the flavor options. Food was amazing, hot and fresh. Great portion sizes, and flavor. Waiter was able to get separate checks for everyone with no hassle, which was a plus. We will definitely be returning as we enjoyed ourselves!
