McKinnon Hotel

Fantastic spot! Amazing food, friendly staff, and a delightful atmosphere. Ample indoor and outdoor seating options add to the charm. The staff is incredibly helpful, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The drinks are absolutely delicious, complementing the overall delightful ambiance. A must-visit for those who appreciate great food and excellent service.

Best local pub in McKinnon and its surrounding areas. Great indoor and outdoor seating with more than enough parking slots. The restaurant is clean and well kept. Staff are quick, efficient, and friendly. Drinks are good. Food is delicious and what makes this place worth it. The food, especially the chicken parm and Thursday steak specials, are a cut above your typical neighborhood pub. Just be reminded that their Thursday steaks (at $28– what a steal for a 300 gram porterhouse!) are quite popular with the locals so book a table in advance.

The place has a lot of potential.
They seem to have procedures in place that make it harder for themselves.
My suggestion is that if you have a large group paying individually, take the payment at the time of ordering at the table. Things will run a lot smoother for staff and clientele.
Other than that, it is a great venue. We will be back.

Sunday lunch was fantastic - we had the Roast of the Day and it was Chicken yesterday. It was delicious - marinated and served with great accompaniments and a generous amount of gravy.

The service from all the staff was excellent. Alex, our main wait person, was outstanding - she was informative and friendly.
The tables were all wiped and reset as soon as they were vacated which doesn't happen at a lot of places (it's my pet hate!) and the staff were refilling glasses and replenishing drinks regularly.

There was live music from 3 pm and the atmosphere was warm and lively. Very family friendly and space for outside dining and room for little ones to move around if they wanted.

Highly recommended.

As a long-term client, I am delighted to share my positive experience. We recently hosted our end-of-year lunch for 30 staff members at this venue. The level of service we received was outstanding. Both the bar staff and venue managers exhibited a remarkable 'can do' attitude, attending to our needs with enthusiasm and professionalism.

The quality of the food served was equally impressive, maintaining a high standard that contributed significantly to the success of our event. It's heartening to see such dedication and excellence in service.

We thank the entire team for their efforts and look forward to more such experiences.
Keep up the great work!

It was such a lovely weather outside so we came here and sat outdoor. Very nice ambience outside and a bit quiet when we came on Sunday.
We had the pork terrine, Sunday roast chicken chicken parma. The chicken parma was just okay but we love the pork terrine that they served with mustard and relish and some baguettes. It was very nicely prepared.
The roast chicken was super delicious too, perfectly cooked succulent meat and smooth mashed potato with flavourful jus and roast mushrooms. I actually wanted lamb or pork roast on that day so pretty sad when they didn’t have it but changed my mind afterwards, as the chicken was gorgeous too!
Overall a very nice and pleasant experience, so will come back and try more on the menu.

Your main beers on tap, plenty of screens to view the footy, welcoming staff and what you expect from a pub for food.

Relaxed pub atmosphere with nice food better than your average. Steak night is a winner.
Great place for a family catch up.

Best risotto I’ve ever had!
It was super tasty and I would definitely come back!
There could be some more vegetarian options though.
Nice and attentive staff, with nice music!
Highly recommend!

Great experience. Highly recommend.
Great food, great setup and really amazing customer service. Definitely going back soon.

Went for dinner. Easy booking system online. They acknowledged the notes we had added and we were treated very well. It’s nice to see good customer service is still out there. Thank you.

Back deck is great in summer and winter (heating and fireplace)
Parma is always a winner !!

Our wedding reception at the McKinnon Hotel function room was a flawless experience, thanks to the exceptional efforts of Kate, the fantastic event organiser. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was outstanding. A huge thanks to Kate and the McKinnon Hotel team for making our special day unforgettable.

Classic pub food with lovely service. They were very accommodating and helpful. Had a great time and everyone enjoyed the food.

Just moved into the area and decided to have a beer and steak.
Great decision, welcoming atmosphere and gorgeous food. Steak was perfect. Highly recommended oh the the Great Northern was chilled and sparkling. Excellent customer service

Loved this pub! The fish and chips with minty peas was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! Exceptional and can’t wait to return.

Today was my 3rd visit and they have all been fantastic.
Please do not take the apple pie of the menu as it’s the best we have ever had…everything is delicious

We arrived for lunch on a Sunday and agreed, we had one of the best pub meals in ages. The interior is attractive, there’s option to sit outside, and it wasn’t packed and noisy. Recommend the parma mains and entree prawns were delicious!

A very lovely place to pop in for lunch and have a light and presently surprising meal.

Extremely impressed with the service here , come in weekly for dinner. Great food am often served by Love who has been quite helpful and always friendly.

Love the renovated restaurant section and outdoor area and can only recommend the chicken parma.
