Desserts are a frequent delight, donuts in particular, and brunch is praised for variety and value. The setting is noted for natural light, a rustic chic vibe, and ample space that suits big groups, family dinners, or casual dates, though the high ceilings can make the room loud at peak times.

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

Great restaurant, great food, great service. I really enjoyed my time here. We were afraid that there wasn't going to be enough food with the group memu, but it is ! Special mention for the brussel sprouts that were so good !

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.

The brussel sprouts were my personal favourite. The Citrus Beet salad was also very well done

Perfect balance of fancy but not stuffy. Great dishes, the devilled brussel sprouts were amazing, so was the roast beef. There was a marriage proposal at the table right next to us, many festive occasions, mutiple birthdays. Everybody smiling & enjoying the lively vibe, A+ ps I've also been to Joe Beef & I liked McKiernan even bette

Absolutely loved our experience here. We came as a group & enjoyed the family style menu, & tried a bunch of their dishes. I loved the Brussel sprouts, the rigatoni & the chicken with gravy the most! Can't wait to go again in the future.

The food was good & it's a pretty location! We got the spicy rigatoni rose, Brussel sprouts, hash brown, quiche.

I really love this spot for dinner. It's got this great, bustling energy without being too loud, making it perfect for a date night. You should definitely try to make a reservation ahead of time if you can.

At first glance, the menu can look a little all over the place, but once the food starts coming out it all makes sense. The roasted chicken is absolutely fantastic, chicken is cooked perfectly & the sauce is so good. The pasta dishes are also a great option with good portion sizes.

For sides, do yourself a favor & get the deviled brussel sprouts. They are seriously delicious & awesome for sharing. You might want to skip the fries, though. They can be a little hit or miss, sometimes coming out a bit overcooked & dry.

A quick tip for dessert: if you're eyeing the donuts, ask your server to set some aside when you first order your meal. They sell out super fast!

A Few Thoughts on Brunch:
I'm probably in the minority here, but the famous brunch double down just isn't for me. I don't get the hype. The hash browns feel both dry & oily at the same time, almost like they were pre-made & then just flash-fried to order. It's not a dealbreaker, but I'd recommend trying something else instead.
As for the service, it was only a mixed bag the last time I went. The hosts at the front were incredible-super helpful & welcoming. But our waitress seemed a little checked out. We all have off days, but it was weird to see her totally happy & chill with other tables but just meh/cold with us. She did perk up when I went to pay with cash, which I found kind of strange.

Overall, I'd still highly recommend this place for a great dinner out.

Update: went back recently, food & service was top notch, 5 stars all around.

The staff is friendly & offer great service, & really enjoyed the atmosphere. The meal is a bit limited, but the foods are high quality & taste very good. The best place to eat Brussels Sprouts & Schnitzel.

Hidden in an industrial area near the Lachine Canal, McKiernan is a true hidden gem by the team behind Joe Beef.

Don't be fooled by the low-key entrance - inside is a warm, plant-filled space with beautiful natural light & high ceilings. Perfect for brunch, solo time, or a relaxed hangout with friends.

Today's special was a perfectly cooked medium-rare beef with fresh greens - incredibly tender & flavorful. The crispy Brussels sprouts were addictive, like snack food. The rigatoni was rich & satisfying (though not spicy as described).

The cutlet reminded me of a thick, crispy Shanghainese fried pork chop - so good. I also saw someone use hash browns as burger buns with fried chicken… genius idea I'll try next time!

Dessert was a surprise hit - a blueberry cheesecake donut that was juicy & light, not overly sweet. The orange blossom mocktail had a unique Jo Malone-style aroma - floral & refreshing (but wish it came in a bigger glass!).

Friendly service, no rush vibes, way more comfortable than noisy downtown spots. I'll be coming back again & again to try more!

Incredible food & very fun vibes inside. We had a fixed menu & the dishes were solid all around, especially the brussel sprouts & tartare

Been here twice already within 3 weeks, stellar service, great food & really nice ambiance.

Food is amazing & simple, you know a place is good when the menu is short & not several pages long. I gotta recommend the deviled brussel sprouts, nice crisp & bitter taste with the sauce. Their dessert are very nice & not overly sweet.

Service is impeccable, staff is very attentive & change your plate throughout the different stage of the meal if need to be.

I absolutely love the atmosphere at McKiernan. Rustic barn, ballroom vibe. It is simply one of my favourite places to eat in Montreal time & time again. Never disappointed. Staff is always on point as well. The quality for the price is totally fair & the clientele are a nice mix from all walks of life. No elitism just people passionate about good food.

I've heard that you can rent out the venue for wedding receptions & such as well which would be fabulous!

Their brussels sprouts are one of my single favourite dishes & all of Montreal.

Recently went back for brunch & it was lit! Photos addd to my review.

Amazing dining experience!! We came for the set dinner menu & the food literally wouldn't stop coming out. Everything was 10/10 & the service is great. We especially loved the starter salad, Brussels sprouts & vodka pasta. Also love the building that it's sitting inside! 100% coming back

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.

Came for the schnitzel, coming back for the brussels sprouts. It is the apex of side dishes. I almost died, like in a good way.
