  Wife and I came in here, first thing you see is a dirty fish tank.  Then we seat ourself at a fairly dirty table (the least dirty of several, many of which have plates and such on them). We realize then we are sitting on old, broken and uneven benches.  My bench tilts hard left and my wife's tilts hard right.  Place is not that busy on a Saturday at 11am so we figure we will be waited on quickly.  Big mistake to assume that...
  
  My wife goes to wash her hands, passes by a waitress who sees her but really doesn't acknowledge her.   Meanwhile I'm at the table when a younger couple comes in, sits down and after a couple of minutes a waitress gives them water and then comes back with orange juice.  She looks at me but quickly looks away and doesn't acknowledge me at the table.
  
  This is about 7 or 8 minutes now of being ignored.  
  
  My wife comes back, sits down and after another few minutes of being ignored the, and our table still being dirty, we figure it's time to get up and leave since they obviously don't care to have our business.
  
  This place needs updated, fish tank needs cleaned and the people who work there need to acknowledge when people come in.  Oh and cleaning the tables in a timely manner might help too..

  Mckinley's Grille is a little hole in the wall restaurant. We've been here a few times several years ago for their all you can eat fish fry Fridays and have had good experiences then. I remember their fish pretty outstanding the first time or two and then it was meh after that. They had walleye then too, where now I seen it is Pollack. Well today, we decided to stop in for brunch. This was an excellent and very filling breakfast. It was hot when it came out and we didn't wait very long at all for. Service was pretty good. Our sever was friendly but seemed overwhelmed as the place was quite busy and at times seemed a little bothered. Overall though, they have excellent food and is worth the stop if you haven't been here before.

  Okay so, I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. Service as everyone before me has stated was less than stellar. Not very friendly and could use some table skills. The food was okay it's a steak that was a little overdone but it was so thin not many other options than overdone. Menu was a little confusing my husband spent the same amount on two pieces of bacon eggs and hash browns as I did on steak eggs and hash browns. Menu said something about juice that came with it but the waitress was very vague and never brought the juice. I may give it one more try for dinner because I'm a sucker for open-faced roast beef. Next review TBD

  We love this place. You can tell everything is cooked with love.  The service is always great too.
  
  Everything we've had has been delicious but especially the sausage gravy. I'm picky about sausage gravy (of all things!) and had pretty much given up finding a place that could make some that is delicious until I tried here.
