Great prime rib really enjoyed it !

We went as a big group, around 18 people. The food was excellent! My favorite dish were the Brussels sprouts. The roast chicken itself was amazing but I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms so the sauce provided wasn't my jam but still good! I also really liked the ribs. The dessert course slightly disappointed me, I was expecting more of a pouding chômeur type dessert but I liked the variety offered & they were still good (various donuts, cookie & brownies) Overall it was worth the money.

The location itself is well decorated & very spacious. It's an amazing place for a large group.

Unfortunately I only have pictures of the appetizers

Ohhh man I love the food here. Big sharing plates of ribs & chicken. The brussel sprouts are amazing as is the cauliflower. A not so new anymore, Montreal classic. God bless these amazing folk who run it!

Their brussel sprouts dish is the absolute best; it's a must try. I also love their pasta & rotisserie chicken. The sauce on the rotisserie chicken is just perfect.

However, I am not a big fan of their ribs: the flavors were a bit underwhelming.

I'd argue there is no better overall restaurant in Montreal than McKiernan. Their menu is always being switched up a bit to offer something new, & they never miss - the food is always a hit, with a great wine selection. I personally salivate over the prime rib.

I recommend going with a group, as McKiernan is best enjoyed when you can pluck things from multiple plates. More cost effective that way. Don't forget to get a donut for dessert!

Overall, I can't recommend McKiernan enough. Amazing resto.

Ordered a $14 bowl of soup by delivery & when I'm telling you it's the tiniest portion I've ever seen, I'm not kidding. I got it for my sick husband & I was embarassed to bring it up to him. The $37 ribs were tasty but ya...they were $37. & that soda is $7. This place is absurdly expensive.

Stopped by this spot in Lachine because it looked really cute on the inside - definitely a cozy place if you're just looking to grab a drink or a beer after hanging out in the area. Unfortunately, the food really didn't live up to expectations.

The highlights: the Parker House rolls were excellent - soft, buttery, garlicky perfection. Fries were also solid, crispy & well-seasoned. The horseradish sauce wasn't for me (but that's more about preference, so if you like horseradish you might enjoy it).

Everything else was disappointing. The ribs had a tasty Korean-inspired sweet-savory sauce, but the actual ribs were almost entirely fat with barely any meat - I've never had ribs like that before. The rigatoni pasta was cooked properly, but the sauce was bland & lacked depth, leaving the dish flat overall.

It was one of those meals that just felt very'mid' all around, which is frustrating when there are so many better options in Montreal. Maybe it was just an off night, but personally I won't be coming back. The food execution needs serious work if they want to match the nice vibe of the space.

I visited McKiernan & was very disappointed with the experience. The appetizers & food were extremely salty. The ribs were served raw/medium rare without asking us how we wanted them cooked. When we requested a change, the waitress said it was not possible. The service felt unprofessional, & the overall food quality did not match the high scores & reviews I saw online. Definitely not what I expected.

Great location & space. Chicken (4), Ribs (4), Trout (3), Linguine (2). Trout & Linguine very salty. For the quality, probably not worth the price. Asked to have the leftover sides remainder of the ribs to boxed for take out. Somehow only 1 rib made it in the box? Food service is also quite long.

Possibly one of our favourite spots in Montreal. The food is amazing & the restaurant itself is beautiful with lots of natural sunlight. Our favourites were the prime rib, spicy rigatoni, & the beet salad-though everything else we had was quite good.

On top of this, the service was great. Our server was super personable & absolutely nailed the wine recommendations he gave us. For sure a staple when we visit the city.

Loved the buzz of this place! An enormous old warehouse has been stylishly renovated into a fun restaurant. Best ribs & doughnuts. Great staff.

This is probably my 10th visit to McKiernan, & it's about time I updated my review. This spot never misses. The schnitzel with eggs & rich bomba sauce was killer. The 16oz prime rib? Flawless. The fusilli with beef ragu & white wine sauce was pure comfort food, elevated. We also had the burrata with peaches & beets, creamy, sweet, earthy, absolutely on point. Shoutout to our waiter Dimitri: hilarious, sharp, & professional. It still amazes me how this second floor gem in the middle of nowhere keeps filling up. McKiernan just delivers, every single time.

Ordered a'prime rib' steak sandwich & received a low quality roast beef slice sandwich, when I asked the server to confirm he shrugged his shoulders & said'same thing'. Came during brunch & the entire place was full of loud children, screaming babies on either side of our table, whose parents decided to change their clothes right next to us. So keep in mind who to expect to eat around. Ordered desserts on the way out & received the wrong order. Only saving grace were the French fries.

Wow! Amazing discovery! Our business just moved in to the building next door, & my fiance & I went to eat dinner to try it out. First of all the service is amazing, like the fansy, very expensive restaurants. + Everyone was genuinely nice. The food is great, they don't have a large menu which is supposed to mean everything that's there, they make really well. The bread is *chef's kiss* We went on a Friday night, no reservations & they still managed to seat us quickly. We had the burrata, the bread, the fries, the pasta & the ribs. & everything was very very tasty! We'll definitely go back!

We visited McKiernan based on the recommendation of a friend. How had we missed coming here? Parking presented the first challenge but there must be a trick to it. The building hosts a range of businesses & everyone arrives by car so it's chaotic. The entrance to McKiernan is on the St. Patrick side & is clearly signed. Once inside there is a gloomy staircase to climb until at last the bright open space is reached & you have arrived at McKiernan. We hadn't booked but we were found a table. Service is friendly & efficient. We chose from the menu ordering the seafood dish & the prime rib sandwich with fries. The food was excellent although we found the portions to be on the small side. Anyway, to compensate we had a donuut & lemon meringue for dessert. Overall we really enjoyed it & we will back but we will book & be prepared for the parking, & probably order more dishes.

Went on Friday night at 10 ish. Service & food was amazing. We had a variety of dishes to share & everything was delish. Do not skip out on the Brussels sprouts & ribs! Our server Nic recommended an amazing orange wine & we finished dinner off with some donuts. 10/10 experience from start to finish, will definitely be back!

Went there for a company dinner & omg, what a feast it was! I generally hate Brussels sprouts but here tried them & they were amazing! Not that bitter, pretty crunchy & somewhat salty from the blue cheese. The burrata was fresh & refreshing, the tartare decent (interestingly served with chicory leaves), the ribs really nice & pretty sweet, & the brownie was awesome! Not that sweet, really chocolatey. The cocktails were pretty tiny but really nice. Huge choice of wines. The service was amazing - very friendly, accommodating & respectful. Totally recommend this place - for a group outing, a romantic dinner or for friends' meeting.

Delicious menu except for their ribs, it's dry & nothing special. Also, the portions are small. As for their brunch, the quiche is excellent while pancakes & hash brown double down could've been executed better. They are very sweet due to an overload amount of maple syrup. On the contrary, their donuts are not, very good..just right amount of flavor, texture, & fillings.

I parked, confused if I have to pay or not I ask the guy working there. He gives me a ticket & told me I have to stamp it at the restaurant. It was my first time here , so I asked him if the restaurant was good , & he said he didn't know, that it was too expensive & he couldn't afford it. I laughed & I went in. At the entrance it's a picture whit a decent joke about some penguins. I went upstairs & I found this big , almost enormous salon. I ask to be seated at the bar, the place was empty & I don't like to seat alone. Over there the pastry chef was making lemon meringue pies. I ordered the Brussels sprouts white blue cheese, & the ribs with honey. The first one was way too salty , & surprisingly spicy, I only enjoyed the first 5 sprouts & I couldn't eat more. The ribs were tender, sweet , a bit too simple for me, & at a little cold. The service was great, everyone was friendly & professional. For dessert I ordered a beigne whit peaches & cream but I didn't ate it, I give it to the guy at the parking lot.
