We sat in the bar area. The drinks were good. Giving this place 2 stars because of the food. not good at all and I was really hungry. We ordered appetizers quesadilla, nachos, the feta and olives were given with just feta cheese with Greek olives on top of the cheese just like that no crackers or pita bread. not good at all! and the desert was even worse the brownie w/ice cream on top tasted like a weight watchers desert no joke! The service was GREAT our waitress Oliva kept checking in awesome service! Atmosphere was clean and up to date. read more

Restaurant was nice & calm. My server Martha was so sweet and attentive. The food was out quickly & it was tasty :)

We have eaten here mostly for Mother's Day. Last Friday we went for their prime rib special. My husband and I both had the prime rib which was really delicious. It came with a large potato and the chef's choice of vegetable (that night it was sugar peas). The service was especially good and welcoming. I would recommend Mc Kinley's and their other specials too. They have a seafood boil with $1.00 beers on Tuesdays and a sliders special on Thursday. They seem to be making a real effort to get people in for dinner with a new chef and some great specials. We were not disappointed. read more

I never even stood a chance! I have a gift card I received while volunteering at the Fairplex. It had expired the day before. YES, I said just one day before! I had called to see if they would still honor it, (assuming they would since California does not allow gift certificates to expire) I was told by the girl on the phone that she thought so, but she would have to ask the manager. She comes back to the phone and tells me she can't find a manager, says she will call me right back. 2 hours later still nothing! So I grab my friend to take her there for lunch. I ask again when I get there, only to be dismissed by the manager, while she was taking to one of the waitresses,(I am assuming to be the one I talked to on the phone) Looks up and says "It's no longer valid" then continues to talk to the waitress. No common courtesy, no I'm sorry, no kiss my A**. NOTHING!! I attempted to rectify this through emails with the restaurant. They never even acknowledged me. read more

This is the restaurant adjoining the Sheraton hotel. We came for dinner and ordered the grilled halibut with greens and the French dip. Overall, the food wasn't good; the halibut was dry, everything was overcooked and way too salty (and that's taking into account the fact that French dip and fries are supposed to be pretty salty...). The French roll was also burnt. We didn't want to send the whole meal back, that seems kind of rude, but we let the waitress know the French roll was burnt. She was very courteous and professional, and offered to take the French dip off the check. The manager came out to talk to us after. He apologized that the bread was burnt, and said "the chefs were in robot mode, and when they reheat the bread, they put it in the oven near the top, and they just got new bread, so they don't know how far away from the top of the oven the bread is... " For perspective, the restaurant had us seated and one other table that night, they were not busy. Anyway, the staff was courteous, but the food isn't good. I do not recommend this place. read more

Ate here for dinner on a Friday night, and the service was terrible, and the food not very good. I had the steak sandwich, which was really dry, overcooked, and tasteless. The French fries that came with it were actually decent. The worst part was the service. We ordered three sandwiches, and it took almost an hour to get them to our table. Then our waitress disappeared, and was nowhere to be seen. Finally after we had been sitting for about 20 minutes after we finished eating I had to go hunt her down to get our check. We are staying at the hotel for the rest of the weekend, but will not eat here again. read more

Staying at the hotel for a conference, and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. They didn't appear to be too busy but apparently they were short staffed. We had to seat ourselves, find our own menus. However once they assigned a server to our table things improved but that took about 15 minutes (so much for a quick lunch). Anyway, we ordered two burgers cooked different ways. The burgers came out quickly and were cooked perfectly. However, the bacon and french fries were undercooked, warm but raw. Now we were running late and did not have time to complain or send back to the kitchen. We only had time to ask for the bill twice and run out of there. read more

So pricey. Staff was lackluster. Food was subpar. I asked for no coleslaw because it had mayo but they brought me a chicken sandwich full of mayo. Common sense please. I paid $17 for sweet potato fries and the chicken from my sandwich. Not cool read more

The food is mediocre for the breakfast buffet which consists of eggs, potatoes, sausages, bacons, cereal, assortments of pastries and definitely not worth the $15. You can probably get better food and better price at IHOP or DENNY'S. The service is terrible and almost none existent. For a buffet, the server just need to fill the drinks and take away the plates but our server filled our oj twice and was not seen until we asked for the check. I had 3 plates stacked on top of each other, my brother had a plate in front of him and another one to the side of him. Our server walked around helping the table next to us but failed to check on us. read more

Appetizer of pork belly in crostini was soooo rich and delicious with dates and melted bleu cheese. Unfortunately, service was a bit slow and the entree I ordered (seared duck leg) was dry. None of the desserts we wanted were available either. read more

Horrible lunch here today. Over-spiced tuna, over-dresses salad and very few healthy items on the menu. I ordered a cappuccino to console myself only to be served a 20 oz. beverage nowhere near the definition of a cappuccino. It's time for hotels to start making better food! read more

Farm fresh local food in P-Town! Kinda pricey but worth it. There is no other place like this in the area. Gives Claremont food a run for its money... actually its better because you don't have to wait 2 hrs for a burger. read more

We celebrate our wedding this past Saturday 24, and the whole experience was amazing. When we arrived (about 25 people), the table was beautifully put, Entrees were amazing, and the ribeye was perfectly cooked. The chef explained us the menu!, and the service was very professional at all times. The night was full of details, they even printed a special menu with our info!...Thank you to the manager Javier Garcia and the entire team that made our special night an incredible one! read more

I had the sea bass tonight. It was very tasty. All their vegetables are fresh from their garden. I was hesitant to come here, but since we were staying here at the hotel and I didn't feel like driving I decided to try it. I am very happy with my dinner. Definitely, come back here again. read more

We ordered two salads for pickup (Grilled Mahi Mahi & Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad) and I think they forgot the greens on both. For a $19 salad this is beyond disappointing. read more

Went tonight for our 25th anniversary. . . .BEWARE! Our waitress overcharged us by $13.00 and tried to explain it away by telling us that she wanted to remove two glasses of wine, and added them by mistake. She then threw away half of a New York Steak we asked her to box up and replaced it with a piece of shriveled up skirt steak! So sorry I gave her a $20.00 tip! Glad I did not see what she gave us to take home in the restaurant! read more

I was expecting more. However, my salmon seemed dry, and both salmon and vegetables were flavorless. Desserts were ok, but creme-brulee was off (sugar shell was extremely thick and not crispy). I won't be back. read more

My husband and I ordered food from here To grab something Togo to eat at home. Unfortunately the food was just generic nothing flavorful or exciting. We ordered the lamb and chicken. I think we spent over 70 bucks, just wouldn't won't be doing that again. read more

Starting with, the online menu listed grilled oysters which hit the spot for me. The server told us it's a very old menu so don't believe what's on it. There was a solid 10 minute wait for water and a good bit longer for my husbands beer (which came without a glass). The food finally arrived and it was ok, my clam patties were good, the lemon sauce VERY good. The steak was supposed to be med rare and came rare but the fried green tomatoes were very good. The waitress stopped once when she was at another table and that was pretty much it. Even paying the bill took forever and they weren't that busy. After reading other reviews, I was disappointed. read more

The service was no good. The waiters didn't get the order right and the manager tried to insult my intelligence. I ordered 2 prime rib dinners with mashed potatoes & asparagus; she brought me asparagus with brisket &gravy and tried to convince me that it was prime rib but no mashed potatoes. I'm so disappointed in the McKinley Gill. read more

After staying a night at the Sheraton hotel my family and I decided to get breakfast here, assuming that it was a free continental breakfast like every other hotel. The buffet style layout of potatoes that look like they were cooked last night, and the bacon, eggs, and sausage were typical of a cheap hotel. When we went to leave we were hit with a $72 bill, $20 each for my wife and I, plus $8.50 per kid, for food that barely qualified as a meal. Spoke with 2 managers who were unsympathetic and uncaring. I understand if there is a charge, but that kind of pricing and deception is down right highway robbery, literally. I will never spend another penny at this establishment, they already got enough of my money in one crappy meal. read more

Simply amazing!!!! I came here for the memorial day all you can eat bbq. The food was amazing we got pork ribs that were nice and tender that you can literally pull it off with your fingers. The burgers were amazing and the beef patty was made to order with a brioche bun. Mac and cheese tasted home made with bread crumbs on it and the pork beans were awesome. Service was superb the restaurant is very fancy. The manager was so cool that he tried encourage me to eat more but I was stuffed. They didn't hold on what they had to offer and I am definitely coming back to eat here for a quality meal. read more

I often enjoy breakfast and lunch here... service is always friendly and fabulous. Have enjoyed everything from the club sandwich to the Greek salad, but the small tasting plates and farm sodas are amazing! Like the connection to the fresh garden produce. read more

We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at McKinley's. I loved the food but unfortunately is was all served at room temperature. Not even the gravy was warm. It looked as if the items were all set out on plates and were just sitting around until they were served. The dark meat turkey was very dry and dark in color and also sparse. In retrospect I should have requested a fresh plate of hot turkey at least. The servers were great but one thing I didn't expect was a 20% "service charge" added to the bill. I asked our server if this is considered the tip.......she stumbled over her words and acted like she didn't understand the meaning of a tip. I left the table to take my Mom to the restroom, when we were done I found my husband had already paid the bill and left another 20% tip to boot! read more

Met a friend for lunch on a Friday. Most seats were open at 11:45. Service was attentive and friendly. Lunch menu is small but interesting. i ordered baja shrimp cocktail with glass of wine, Friend ordered the soup which was chowder. He too had a glass of wine. Bread and butter was served free of charge and overall the meal was satisfying and fairly priced. read more

It's a quiet Sunday night. Got a very nice deal to stay at the Sheraton Fairplex, and I decided to enjoy a dinner outside on the patio of the hotel's restaurant- McKinley's. The waiter suggested sea bass, and I agreed. I added the fresh veggies to the greens that accompany the dish, and I am honestly very impressed. First, the fish if cooked beautifully, not overdone as so often is the case. Second, the flavors are interesting, bright, and not overbearing- one can taste the fish and the greens. My waiter is attentive without being in the way. With my chardonnay and this dish, I am enjoying a peaceful, delightful dinner. Kudos to the chef! read more

We saw their internet add for the Sunday prime rib special and made reservations. What a mistake! The absolutely worst prime rib I have ever had served at any restaurant. Pre-overcooked, dry and re-heated is the best I can describe. Also, they didn't even have the vegetables that they advertised, the focaccia bread was stale, and the service was despicable in that they didn't tell us what they were out of until after taking the order. My wife and I called over the manager and opted out of the meal. A thoroughly horrible experience, read more

Norma did an awesome job serving us. She's so friendly, welcome & gave us great recommendations. We got steak sandwiches, it was so delicious. The price, taste & atmosphere was great! read more

I was totally shocked when I first walked into this restaurant. The restaurant was almost completely empty and there is only one table besides us. Overall rating of the food is about 3... With the food being organic, i will give it another one star... I would recommend this restaurant for special occasions. read more

I come here regularly for lunch and absolutely love it!! The customer service is outstanding and the food always delicious. The ambience of the restaurant is great! They have a really nice outside patio with lounge furniture and a fireplace. Keep up the great work McKinley's! I will definitely be back. read more

Had the opportunity to take my mother in law out for her Birthday, she suggested McKinleys Grill at the Sheraton Hotel in Fair-plex Pomona. Just want to say this was the worst meal I/we have ever had at a restaurant! Very disappointed to say the least! Waitress was nice, but the food was bad. Chefs need to go get a job pumping gas or something. This place sucks! read more

I was staying at the Sheraton Fairplex which is connected to McKinley's. I sat down at the bar and was immediately asked if I'd like something to drink. Sure! I wanted a fruity sort of a martini. Not an Apple Martini and not a Pomegranate Martini. The female bartender asked me what else I had in mind. I asked what kind of flavor vodka she had and she went through the short list. Blueberry stuck out in my mind. I'll take a blueberry martini. I suggested a couple of other mixers and she said she'd take it from there. She came back with what was one of the BEST martinis I've ever had! It was so "pretty looking" people were asking what it was. I also decided to eat and selected the short rib "stew" which was delicious and hearty and added a side of smashed potatoes. I would have given it 5 stars but I found them a bit pricey and my dishes weren't piping hot. But they were delicious. Definitely worth it if you don't want to venture off property for dinner, just know that it's a little pricey. read more

It's great that they have their own garden and make seasonal dishes but the selection and the overall food quality was not that great. The server we had was excellent. read more

Slightly overpriced but worth it if you have an offer. Melissa was our waitress and she was fantastic! Great place to try foods with a twist like you've never had before. read more

Jessica Hall has been a wonderful host. The food was perfect, Jessica was attentive and polite, and the over all atmosphere was 5-star worthy. Thank you for such a beautiful experience! read more

Had the rack of lamb. It was done quite well and was very tasty. The house salad wasn't bad but it wasn't that good either. The wine selection was decent; we had a real good Cab from Washington State. Friends had the NY strip and were not pleased at all. So this place is kind of hit or miss. read more

Great fresh, wholesome, food with a conscience! The service was impeccable! Fabulous job! The patio ambiance was amazing too!

Always good and always different, I usually go with the fish. Sauces are usually very nice and all of the produce is grown by them at their own organic farm. Best restaurant around these parts! read more

Very good overall, dining decor inside is pretty dull, but outside patio is very nice in the evening with uplit trees and outdoor heaters. Service was friendly, and food was delicious. Recommend the Atlantic salmon as well as the cute basket of yummy sweet potatoes fries. Also great caramel cheesecake! read more

What a hidden gem in Pomona. The food is fresh from a farm onsite with daily fish and soup specials. I have a group of 22 here today and the service was wonderful. Don't miss the sweet potato fries they are amazing read more
