Les équipes de Joe Beef et de Maison publique s’unissent sur un nouveau projet, McKiernan - Traiteur Luncheonette Rôtisserie. Installé au deuxième étage du Complexe Dompark, un immeuble industriel situé le long du canal Lachine
McKiernan est un espace chaleureux et lumineux avec une atmosphère conviviale et familiale, où les plats sont souvent salués, notamment les choux de Bruxelles, le poulet rôtisserie, le schnitzel, le rôti de boeuf et les donuts, et le menu familial ou en portions individuelles facilite les repas en groupe et les célébrations; le brunch est également apprécié pour sa valeur et sa variété. L'ambiance est vive et accueillante, dans un cadre industriel chic avec une belle lumière naturelle, bien que certains trouvent le niveau sonore élevé et l'expérience parfois chaotique lorsque le service est surchargé. Le service reçoit des mentions positives pour la gentillesse et l'attention, mais plusieurs avis signalent un rythme inégal et quelques oublis, avec des soirées où le service est lent ou peu cohérent et où les additions ou les politiques (pourboire, etc.) peuvent décevoir. Plusieurs clients notent le parking pratique et la possibilité de réserver; le personnel fait parfois des gestes pour améliorer l'expérience, comme offrir un dessert ou accommoder les groupes. Dans l'ensemble, l'expérience est décrite comme délicieuse et agréable, avec des plats réconfortants de grande qualité, faisant de McKiernan une adresse prisée pour les groupes et les célébrations, malgré quelques visites à améliorer en cohérence et en gestion du bruit.
What a find. Had a high school friend & his sister come in from Alberta to visit their dad who lived down the street. We decided to go out for drinks & I hadn't had supper yet so I found this place on Google Maps. Looked good, for the area. Well, we were shocked when we got there. The place was packed & it was not a small dining room. The ambiance was spot on. We were only two at first but it was just as well because we had to be persistant just to get two seats at the bar. & they weren't kidding. There was a non stop stream of people coming in all night untill we left & there was still a line up then. You'll see about the food when you get here & then understand why it's so busy. One special mention was our waiter. Top notch. He knew & undertood the menu like he had chosen & cooked the food himself & the wine like he had studied to be a somalier. Can't wait for my friend to come back. This time we'll reserve well in advance.

The food is really, really good. The service was awesome & I dont remember the name of the server but it was his third day yesterday evening. Thanks for your patience. I highly recommend this place & can't wait to try the brunch menu.
Rotisserie chicken was great. Schnitzel WAY over cooked; to the point that it was tough. The side salad was good, but the Parker House rolls were hard.
We swung into McKiernan for lunch with no reservation, fully expecting to be punished for our spontaneity. Instead, parking was easy, the place was packed, & they sat us immediately with a one?hour limit - which is honestly the perfect amount of time to eat, judge, & leave before your optimism wears off.
The Vibe
A stunning space - huge hall, vintage floors, & that polished industrial look that sets the bar high before the food even arrives.
The Food
For a restaurant built on rotisserie comfort & house?made pasta, the execution didn't match the branding.
* Poulet Entier ($51) - Dry white meat at a rotisserie?forward spot is a miss. The gravy leaned so hard on butter it felt like the only flavor note.
* Choux de Bruxelles - Burnt exterior overshadowing a genuinely good sauce.
* Linguine Scampi ($30) - A surprisingly tiny portion for house?made pasta. Scampi were small, & the dish relied almost entirely on butter.
* Bonne Frites - Straightforward & solid.
* Donuts - The Tiramisu donut was the only item with real personality.
Came here for brunch today. Ordered the beetroot salad with ricotta, it was very fresh & tasty, coffee was great & got a snitzel sandwich. Music was nostalgic & fun (elton john, the beatles….) & vibe was great for families & couples. Something that inspired me to write this review is the hospitality that we received from all the staff. The staff were all so welcoming & in a good mood & it makes a huge difference these days. I came in with my service dog Mila, & normally when I go to restaurants with her I feel treated less than. Given the undesirable tables in the restaurant & made feel lesser than or a burden for being there with my dog. But not at McKiernan's. Here not only me but Mila was respected & we felt more than welcomed. So I just want to say an extra thank you for that.
Very disappointing experience at McKiernan on my birthday night.
This was actually my fourth time coming here, which is exactly why I chose this place for my birthday night. Previous experiences were always acceptable, but tonight's service completely ruined the evening.
Before reserving, I carefully checked the website, OpenTable, & Instagram. Nowhere was there any mention of a'no cake policy' or a $5 per person cake charge. We were 6 people, & I simply brought a small birthday cake to have after dinner with tea.
First, the receptionist refused the cake completely. Then suddenly after'speaking to the manager,' they decided they could allow it… but only if they charged $5 per person. So apparently the policy is flexible when there's extra money involved.
Honestly, it felt cheap, unprofessional, & extremely poorly handled. If these rules exist, write them clearly online instead of surprising customers at the door on special occasions.
The food was mediocre this time, the service was disappointing, & the entire experience left a bad impression. As someone who used to recommend this place, I definitely will not be returning.
Never understood why the restau is almost always soldout whenever I tried to go as a walk-in. Now I can tell why & how, I had a wonderful experience at McKiernan, nothing to complain about. The food is fresh&delicious, the waiters were courteous, the place is beautiful especially at night, competitive price & plenty of space for parking. I will definitely come back, this place is a must go
I like the ambiance & the atmosphere here, very comfortable to eat & chit chat. The service & the food are all very great. Price is compatible with the quality & the portions are HUGE, we have 4 dishes for 2 people & were so full after all.
Would recommend to everyone, this is my fav place to eat so far in Montréal! 😍

Wow, quelle belle découverte & quelle belle soirée grâce à l'excellente nourriture abondante, le service impeccable & une belle ambiance décontractée & sans chichi.
En arrivant on se demande si on ne s'est pas trompés d'endroit, ça ne paie pas de mine, car c'est dans un immeuble autrefois manufacturier. Mais nous n'avons pas été déçus, bien au contraire.
Nous étions un groupe de 12, nous avons pris le menu familial & tout le monde a adoré la nourriture & nous pouvions même en redemander sans frais. Le personnel a été super agréable, efficace & collaboratif. Nous recommandons sans hésite
Been here a couple times already & it's always an excellent experience. The food is exciting, the staff are engaging, & the playlist is fire. Great place to get a group together for a fun night (& family friendly too!)
Fantastic food, posh atmosphere but for the everyday person also.
Unique menu items.
Service was very slow but when it was busy. Later as it got quieter the service was quicker & more attentive. Had very good specialty shot drink recommended by our waiter from France.
Not rushed by staff to finish & leave, took our time to chat.
My wife & I visited McKiernan many times since they opened, & the experience has been consistently excellent. Whether it's a date night, a gathering with friends, or a casual bite with a buddy at the bar tonight,the quality never misses.
The food is always outstanding, the desserts are exceptional, & the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively & comfortable. The staff are warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming.
Highly recommend this place truly stands out for its consistency & overall experience.
