UPDATE. (2nd review) Went back for breakfast, as I stated below . This time I had a Steak tips and eggs. Amazingly delicious. Veronica was super gracious, courteous and above all wonderful... Ask for her table, you’ll be wowed. First review. 👇🏿 The place is simply welcoming. As you wait in line, you'll be in awe. The service was very courteous and warm, I didn't wait long.What is worth mentioning is the patience of the staff while serving in busy hours. I was particularly impressed at the time they took to listen, note and make recommendations when asked. Rachelle was amazing, she deserves a huge raise. Brittany (I hope she forgives y spelling in case I botched the spelling of her name) and Kat were equally amazing in their overall wonderful and wow customer service. I was wowed and will be back to try other menu items other than the delicious sausage egg and cheese I had on a raisin bread, followed by a freshly squeezed orange juiceIt was so tasty that I took another one to go for my mother. Hers in a bagel since she prefers bagels.

Dear Mckenna, I am highly disappointed at the moment. I woke up Friday morning craving one of your delicious and fluffy waffles and told my mom upon walking down the stairs of my house, unbeknownst to me that it was National waffle day until she had stated that it was waffle day. Me, excited, I rush to your website and try to order but sadly what had popped up while attempting to choose your chicken n waffles it said unavailable. Sad that I couldn’t get a waffle on waffle day I tried again the next day and unfortunately the option to choose a waffle was still unavailable and it was at this point that I felt betrayed. My mom said to try again today, Sunday, and luckily I was able to order my chicken n waffles alongside a side order of waffles for later. Once I get my order and open the packaging I couldn’t believe my eyes. The waffles are no longer circular with 4 separate pieces but rather they’re smaller and square and only come with 2 pieces. Now I don’t know what the hell you all were thinking with this new waffle idea but it needs to be stopped IMMEDIATELY!!!!!. I took a bite out of the piece of cardboard and I couldn’t even choke it down. It was bland, flavorless and there was no love in it. No amount of powdered sugar syrup or cinnamon could save it for dear life. You could tell it was store bought from your local Walmart and just popped in a toaster with its uneven color on either side and now I’m here suffering trying to eat the side order of waffles as we speak because I don’t want to waste food. This is a cry for help, PLEASE BRING BACK THE MCKENNAS WAFFLES WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE, if not I don’t think I can eat at your precious restaurant ever again 😭 With love and warmest regards, A waffle lover 🥲💕 P.s this is my first negative review I am sorry but I have to tell the truth 😔

Can I just say this place is everything I dreamed it was. Like yeah I heard practically everyone mention how great this place was but when you actually get seated and get a good look at the menu and the decor you just realize: this is it... this is what I've been waiting for my whole life. This one bite of pancake will define my whole existence in this earth as we speak. My molecules will begging to transform as I chew this buttery syrupy goodness. Just like that you become hooked. Apart from the huge wait due to all the local teenagers and college students flocking to this pancake Mecca you just have to write your name down and wait patiently until you're up. I mean yes it's a bit ridiculous how long of a wait it is and you kind of can't make any reservations but believe me it's so worth the wait when you finally get to sit down. I went with the classic stack of pancakes and a side of sausage because you can't really go wrong with a classic. It was the best decision I've ever made in my life.

McKenna's has changed immensely and not in good way. We we're excited to go there after arriving this morning from Florida. We were ecstatic to share the McKenna experience with our friends that came with us. They're first time visiting Boston. We had two tables however we were paying separately. They told us we'd have to split it but pay on one card. Where do they do that?!? Then we were charged a gratuity of 20% and there was 4 people to a table. 🤔🤔🤔and this was upon the managers discretion. We felt confused and actually upset with how this all played out. Lastly, the prices on the menu weren't the prices charged. The whole entire encounter was dreadful and I won't be returning. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BILL!!! YOU MIGHT BE GETTING RIPPED OFF DISCREETLY🤬🤬🤬
