Mackie's Grill - gstowne

Restaurant does not honor OpenTable reservations. Place looked fun and perfect for the game but unfortunately does not honor reservations so was not able to eat here. Restaurant should not be on OpenTable and at the very least should note in their description that they do not take reservations on game days. Would have planned accordingly and come early to secure a table if they gave any indication.

Adequate food with pleasant outdoor seating. I've never eaten inside. Potstickers aren't very good doughy and not much flavor. Odd sauces accompany them. Burgers are fine, eggs and omelettes are middle of the road. Service can be good, or not. I'm sure a lot of the uneven dining experiences I've had are pandemic related every business is struggling to find competent staff, so I will give Mackie's another try one day.

Service was great, the appetizers were fantastic. The main course took a while to come out and the fries were cold by the time it did. They quickly remedied this so we weren't eating fries after we finished the rest of the meal. We didn't feel rushed to leave and were able to enjoy the warm evening.

Enjoyed the Mackie's ale while seated outside taking in all of the sights and sounds of King Street. Our server was fantastic and we started with the Phoenix wings, which were awesome. A really nice spice and heat and the wings were cooked and sauced really well. I had their dry-aged burger for my entrée and it was delicious. They cooked it well and the toasted roll and sautéed mushrooms and onions were perfect toppings to go along with the aged white cheddar. Several other items on the menu looked and sounded great, so I would definitely recommend this place and I look forward to coming back.

We went for a late dinner on a Sunday night. Everyone was very nice; overall it was a great experience. They were out of the grilled octopus appetizer that we wanted, but their tuna tartare that we got instead was actually exceptionally good. I then had the fish sandwich with fries. The sandwich was decent but not something I would go back for. The fries were not really seasoned well. I'm giving 4 stars because of the great service and fantastic appetizer.
