Went to McKinney Station after my aunt's funeral. This place has come a long way since my last visit (when it was a completely different restaurant). Loved the updated decor. Picnic table type seating by the ordering area. This area also had a condiment cow (you've got to see it to believe it) and a small area for local products to be sold. Right by the register was a board full of already purchased meals. Hungry but don't have the money for a meal? Pick one of the receipts for food that has already been paid for and enjoy. Loved this "Pay it Forward" space. The restaurant also has a huge dining room with typical seating (tables of different sizes and chairs). There was also a bar in the dining room which looks like it could be a coffee bar? It wasn't in use when we visited. A lot of funeral attendees descended on this space in a short amount of time. There were upwards of thirty people. Despite this onslaught and their probably not being staffed for such a rush, the service was great. Orders were taken quickly and food was out much faster than I would've expected. My family was very pleased with their food. Pretty typical diner food, though they raved about the ice cream. Not many vegan options. I ordered the black bean burger and a side of fries. When I mentioned fries the lady taking my order asked "Regular fries, curly or sweet potato?" Wait? We have choices? That's not something I expected. The black bean burger was fine. Fries were good. Price seemed reasonable. Wish they had more vegan options but, we aren't exactly in an area clamoring for vegan food. read more

Mckinney Station - Condiment cow. Mustard, ketchup and BBQ sauce. Insert udder joke here. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newburg, Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Turnpike mainline runs 360 miles through Pennsylvania from I-95 at the New Jersey state line in Bucks county to the Ohio Turnpike at the Ohio state line in Lawrence county, with most of the route meandering through picturesque rural central Pennsylvania. If you get hungry or need to charge your electric vehicle somewhere about midway along the route, your options are limited.. with most folks opting to stop at one of the Service Plazas in Sideling Hill (Mile 172.3), Blue Mountain (Mile 202.5), or Cumberland Valley (219.1) for the usual fast food outlets. For those of you who prefer made-to-order, reasonably-priced food (particularly compared to the Service Plaza options) in a casual, family-friendly ambiance or a Tesla Supercharger for your non-ICE vehicles or both -- just pull off the turnpike for McKinney Station, located literally right off the ramp at Mile 201. On a recent roadtrip along the length of the mainline with my dining companion and her father, we were about halfway across the state approaching the Blue Mountain Service Plaza when pangs of hunger struck my passengers. The two of them prefer locally-owned restaurants over the corporate fast food outlets located in the Service Plazas, so I suggested getting off the highway to check out local options. I wasn't sure what to expect when we took the exit for Chambersburg / Shippensburg, but McKinney Station was an oasis -- offering freshly-made, innovative sandwiches, served quickly by the friendly, accommodating staff to get us back on our way towards Pittsburgh. The menu puts an emphasis on simple, casual, easy-to-share, and made-to-order -- such as hot dogs, beef/veggie/grilled chicken burgers, sandwiches, salads, and baskets with a variety of fried foods like chicken fingers, buffalo wings, or onion rings. The house specialty is a "Wedgie" -- a sandwich served pita-style on naan bread -- which was excellent. I had the "Best Wedgie" sandwich ($10), comprised of a fried chicken patty, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and thousand island dressing served on naan bread, which was FANTASTIC. My dining companion and her father opted for the "Rooster Wedgie" sandwich ($9), comprised of grilled chicken strips, lettuce, tomato, and BBQ sauce served on naan bread, which they both really enjoyed. The three of us shared two sides of sweet potato french fries, which were perfectly seasoned and cooked. McKinney Station and its customers also support the local community, with many diners opting "pay it forward" by providing a free meal for others in the community who may be struggling. If you're interested in buying a meal for someone else, just let the staff know and they'll ring it up and add the receipt to a bulletin board next to the cash register. If you're going through a tough time, there's no stigma in grabbing one of the receipts off the bulletin board and presenting it to the cashier for a prepaid meal. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area! PRO TIP #1: Check out the Condiment Cow for your condiments! PRO TIP #2: There's a pair of cornhole boards in the dining room to occupy you (or your kids) while you're waiting for your food. read more

Mckinney Station - Moo! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newburg, Pennsylvania

Excellent place to stop I stop here 2-4 times a month while traveling for business. Supercharging is great. Food is really good. The milkshakes are absolutely amazing. read more

ETA: upgrading to 4 stars because the owner responded lightning fast to resolve, and our experience seems like a one off, based on other reviews. The burgers, fries, and fried pickles were very good, the soda choice was great, and the girls working were friendly and efficient. That said, there were flies everywhere, on tables, on the condiment cow. It's hard to enjoy a meal when the table is dirty and you are shooing away insects and have to swat one off of the ketchup dispenser. The bathroom (there is only one) was dirty, trash and flies, diaper in the trash. read more

Mckinney Station - Condiment cow. Cute, but flies were on the "teets." - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newburg, Pennsylvania

We stopped in to McKinney because the have a 7-bay Tesla Supercharger station on site. This is a very cute place and the milkshakes are amazing. I had the caramel one, delicious! I also had some french fries which were homemade and piping hot. They are right off the PA turnpike and open Tuesday-Sat from 11-9. Highly recommend! read more

Driving along the Pennsylvania Turnpike on our way home to Massachusetts. This was a nice stop for a quick lunch. Had the hamburger with a side of chicken fingers. Jen had a fish sandwich with onion rings. The service was very welcoming and the the place was nice and clean. Same with the bathrooms. Check out the condiment cow and if you're short on cash and need a meal there is a bulletin board with prepaid meal receipts. Bring one up to the cashier and they will prepare a meal for you. Such a nice idea. The place also has local honey for sale. Recommend this stop Glad we stopped here. read more
