We found this gem on Yelp while on a recent trip across country. We sat at the bar and were greeted…read moreimmediately and served our drinks within minutes. My husband had a beer which could have been a bit colder but was refreshing nonetheless. I had a Jameson neat and mine was perfect :) We asked our server what she would recommend and she suggested the turkey panini so we shared that and a bowl of the Irish stew. Both were delicious although the stew was lukewarm and the panini appeared to have sat for a bit. We didn't wait long for our food so we were a bit surprised at the temperature of both items, but again, not a big deal...it was still very tasty! Just a few customers on a Thursday afternoon so it was a quiet meal. We did strike up a conversation with a gentleman who happened to be a huge Buffalo Bills fan and was quite enthusiastic and entertaining to visit with! Overall, a nice, quiet place to grab a meal and a beverage after hours of driving. They had several tv's and looks like it could be a lot of fun with a crowd. Would definitely recommend!

Always looking for local, we found McKinney's Pub on 3rd West in downtown Grand Island…read more Looking like most of the smaller Irish pubs I've been in, in the Midwest, theirs an immediate comfort as soon as you walk into the door. Green walls, dark wood and brass foot rails. I, of course, started off with a Guinness, which was perfectly poured and my wife a Diet Coke. The staff is relaxed and friendly, giving us plenty of time to look over a fairly extensive menu. My wife decided on the Buffalo Chicken wrap, and I went all in on the Peanut butter burger. My wife really liked her wrap, lots of contrasting goodies to complement the chicken with had some bite but wasn't too spicy. If you're going to tray a peanut butter burger, you need to like peanut butter- it gives the burger a different taste. Served with a mandarin chutney on a tasty bun, I found myself liking it more and more as I enjoyed it. We were offered desserts, but declined as we were absolutely stuffed. Oh, how could I forget to mention the curled chip!!!!nothing short of awesome! Think of a curly cue fry combined with a steak fry. Really, really great!
