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.
I rarely give 5 stars, but this place is truly fantastic.
We were visiting from the NY area & went here several times during our stay - it was that good.
Why?
Classy, attentive, no-attitude service.
The best donuts I've ever had (by far). & they serve them daily & had 8 varieties to choose from!!
Finally, a large, pretty airy open interior space stands in stark contrast to some of the cramped interiors in the center of town.
The only criticisms I can think of is 1) while the fries were fresh cut I prefer a thicker cut fry & 2) they could use some more variety re breakfast items offered on their brunch menu.

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.
It's pretty sad because the decor was cool, the food honestly tasted really great but, the service really was wack. The waiter told us some stuff about the pricing that was completely the opposite when the bill came, it felt like a scam honestly & the whole group understood the same thing (we were 6) truely felt like gaslighting. Plus they have the odasity to obligate a minimum 18% tips on top!
Everytime I was asking for something I felt like he wanted me to die. Anyways not going there anymore
The chicken breast sauce was good, the chicken itself was a bit dry honestly.
the'12$' cucumbers with barely any feta in it was very disappointing , I was expecting a salad or something unique/creative. It was literally just cucumbers with a bit of shredded feta…

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.
One of my favorite restaurants. Never had a bad meal there. Great service. Very lively & unpretentious atmosphere. Great place for a nice meal or a celebration.

My husband & I had an exceptional experience at McKiernan! As always, the food was fantastic (we always go back), but what made the evening truly special was the outstanding service from Stephanie & Chloe. They went above & beyond. When there was a slight delay in taking our order, they offered us drinks on the house & were incredibly kind & attentive, making our date night extra special. Thank you, Stephanie & Chloe, for the wonderful experience!
If you haven't tried their brunch, RUN don't walk. It was my first time trying it & they did not disappoint! Servers are sooo friendly & fast. We tried the croque madame & the schnitzel sandwich + extra hashbrowns. Everything was sooo delicious! Just perfect portions & very tasty. We also got lattes, they were great! To top it off we ordered 2 donuts: dulce de leche & maple! Exquisite. Will definitely come back to try other items, the place has big windows that light the whole restaurant. The vibes are super nice.
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.

Amazing experience! Food was delicious & ambiance super friendly & cozy. Our waiter Brandon was incredible (& really funny), made our night special. Thank you again😊
Food was on point. I'm not easily won over by chicken but this was by far the best rotisserie I've ever had. Space is beautiful & homey, & that stems to the food - just the right amount of'fuss' imo. Will come back any time I'm in Montreal.
