McKinney's Irish Pub - Grand Island — Restaurant in Grand Island

Service wasn't too great. Sat directly at the bar. Usually interaction sitting at the bar is more fun than sitting at a table. Had drinks and dinner. Two servers / bartenders attending bar and restaurant with maybe 4 tables seating 2 at the most at each table. Still had to ask for our order to be taken. Asked about certain foods on the menu and got the basic answer "I like it". So not much help there either. One bartender did know her beers pretty well which was nice. She knew what to offer by what we said we were looking for. And she did give me a tester. She was kind. But not to attentive. Had to ask for our order to be taken after sitting AT THE BAR for quite some time. Had to ask for silverware and condiments. Food wasnt anything signature. Was attended to only in passing. Staff wore gym looking type of clothing. Wasn't too uniform there on anything. Was a nice establishment and given the right staff could be a place I would return to and try different foods from their menu. All in all wasn't too impressed. Bill for 2 was about $50 (somewhere in there anyway) between the 2 of them we left a $2 tip. And I always tip well and am very understanding to situations such as being busy or even having a rough shift, been a server many years myself, but this was just a lack of interest in their job. Sorry guys totally...

I ordered the Bangers and Mash which is one of my favorites to eat and cook. Unfortunately what arrived at my door was not bangers and mash. It was cheap overcooked sausages with over-boiled skin on potatoes swimming in a nasty brown substance covered in a layer of grease. I seriously wouldn’t even serve this to my dog for fear of making them sick. I’ve never eaten more disgusting mashed potatoes in my life, and I’ve had prison food (while working there as a nurse). The potatoes were a badly overcooked gritty, pasty, chunky mush. They were covered in an under reduced gravy that was cold and separated leaving a greasy film over all the food. The ‘bangers’, were were dry and rubbery with a texture you can only get from a microwave. Not sure how the ‘wilted spinach’ from the item description was since it wasn’t even there. I also got a small cup of lamb stew (intended for tomorrows lunch), it was unpalatable and tasted like it came from a can. I would be horrified to serve this mess to anyone, and not sure how this place is still in business. I threw the entire order in the trash and ate saltines for dinner…which tasted better than the fiasco this restaurant served me. My...

Visited this establishment last year to celebrate my mother's birthday. Our group consisted of family members who were enjoying each other's company. During our time, another patron made comments in regards to our family's ethnic background. Comments such as, "these are the people that Trump is trying to keep out."

I happen to ignore the first comment and let it slide. Similar comments continued. In a professional manner, a family member asked if this person if they were okay. Patron stated that they were fine.

This was approached to our server and she went ahead and turned the tables stating that we were the ones causing the problem. Excuse me, no! If you are an inclusive establishment, you need to distinguish patrons who are toxic to your environment.

I highly suggest you train your staff in anti-bias, inclusion, and overall better customer...
