Teams from Joe Beef and Maison Publique join forces on a new project, McKiernan - Traiteur Luncheonette Rôtisserie. Located on the second floor of the Complexe Dompark, an industrial building located along the Lachine Canal
McKiernan is a spacious, open dining space with lots of natural light where guests repeatedly praise the food, especially Brussels sprouts, rotisserie chicken, schnitzel, prime rib, and donuts; the menu's shareable, group-friendly format makes it a popular spot for celebrations and large dinners, with brunch also getting positive notes for value and variety. The vibe is lively and welcoming, a rustic-industrial setting that feels warm despite sometimes being loud. Service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though several reviews mention uneven pacing and occasional oversights, with a few evenings accompanied by slow service or delays, and some guests reporting mismatches between expectations and the bill or certain policies. Several guests note convenient parking and the option to reserve, and staff sometimes go above and beyond, offering a complimentary dessert or accommodating group needs. Overall, the experience is described as delicious and enjoyable, with standout items delivering comfort food at a solid price, making McKiernan a go-to for groups and celebrations, though a few visits highlight room for improvement in consistency and noise control.
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.
Not sure if we went on an off night or if Mckiernans is extremely overhyped. To start off on a good note - our waitress was very kind & did explain to us that the kitchen was a bit slow (totally fine).
I had high-ish expectations for Mckiernans from reading reviews, their instagram, & being a fan of Liverpool House. What I didn't expect was to have my first bad meal l in this city.
We ordered a few dishes (2 apps) & 3 mains to try a bit of everything. The apps ended up coming with the main meals which we didn't expect. Not a fan. Every single bite that was taken was bland & somewhat dry. It's like they completely forgot to add salt before during or after making the dishes. Overwhelming when they brought all the food at once.. underwhelming when eating. I do hope this was just a crazy Friday night & not an every weekend occurrence of meh.
I didn't know tomato could be savoured until my diner at McKiernan. Wow! I loved the tomato & burrata starter. The bread, the chicken, the cheesecake dessert, everything was top notch. The place is baby friendly & the staff was very thoughtful.
Poulet rôti avec sauce, aubergine avec sauce rosé, choux de Bruxelles avec amandes & sauce au fromage bleu
Tout est bon , bien servi, belle ambiance!!!
Parait 👍
Nous sommes allés au Mc Kiernan en famille hier & nous avons adoré notre soirée. Nourriture exceptionnelle, excellent service & ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande fortement !
It's my second time going here & I was very happy with my experience. The service was absolutely amazing & so was the food. I also got a side of the Fries & a side of the Parker house rolls but unfortunately I did not take a picture. Everything was perfect & I look forward to many more visits.

When I Comme to McKiernan I feel like
Home lol the food is so good & different from other restaurants, I just love it & im so lucky I leave close by :).
One of my favorite dishes is the Jagerschnitzel, & their donuts are so deliciousss!
We attended this place for a birthday - it was a great experience except for the fact that our server -Tiffany- brought an extremely negative attitude. Unprompted she was curt & rude, when asked questions or details for the menu she would provide no detail & in fact talk down to any individual when asked. Although it was extremely busy & any person can understand the overwhelming aspect of a dinner rush - no other server had this attitude. For events like a birthday it can really put a negative tone on the experience. The food was good but with such a negative experience with staff I would never recommend or go here again.
It was my third time eating at this restaurant & the other two times were great. I haven't been back since 2024 but last night the schnitzel was so dry & I ordered fries with my meal that took so long to arrive that my schnitzel was basically finished by the time the fries arrived. & the fries were COLD 🥲. I would have said something but the waiter never checked on me. Anyway so sad because I really liked this place! The hostess was really nice & the interior is beautiful but overall I was pretty disappointed 😔.
