We are Mcmenamins fans and working on our passports. Kinda an unusual spot for the brand but good none the less. Good variety of beer, cocktails and typical bar food. They have a good Happy hour selection. The vibe is teyical to Mcmenamins and the staff was all friendly as always. read more

It's interesting how McMenamins has taken a strip mall place and turned it into a look of one of its restoration project places. The woodwork and other decor give the feel of an old building, an Irish pub restored. But carpet on the floor in a restaurant/bar? Yuck! Bad choice. The food is average, done okay, but nothing to write home about, typical McMenamins fare that you find at all the McMenamins locations. Average. Tasty but boring. Most of it was fine. The kids' food was better than average for kids' food. But the one item that deeply disappointed me was the Satriale's Italian Beef Dip sandwich I had. It's supposed to be shaved ribeye, Provolone, pickled peppers, grilled onions on a garlic-toasted roll with Black Rabbit Red wine jus. It was a hamburger patty broken up, along with the other stuff. The picked peppers were shortcut with Mama Lil's (one can recognize them), and while good, they just were not what I would expect in an Italian Beef Dip. Should be some roasted pepper and some house-picked peppers. I've had too many great Chicago Italian Beef Dip sandwiches over the years. Those (when done well) are a 10. This was maybe a 2 1/2 or a 3 at best. So, okay (3 stars) is begrudgingly given. read more

Service was so nice and friendly. It was a perfect location, could tell it was a place locals could come and watch a game. We don't typically see tvs at mcmenamins so it was interesting to see, but not bad at all. Food was great, ambience quiet and comfortable. read more

Had lunch here yesterday with a friend. We both ordered burgers and they were absolutely delicious! Tasted like we were at a cookout eating burgers straight off the grill. Our server was so friendly and let us linger to chat well after we were done eating (no one was waiting for our table but we've felt rushed in other places). Definitely recommend and will return. read more

The ambiance is casual and we were able seat immediately on a Saturday later afternoon. Our server was very friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed (possibly on the newer side), and the "no tomato with tots" request on the Queen Anne Sandwich unfortunately was not honored. The tomato slices were easy to take off and the food tasted good overall. They have RC Cola which was a nice change, but the very limited dessert menu was a bit disappointing. The sundae is exactly as you'd expect, tasty but nothing stellar. Our server offered to check into what to do about the order mistake but then forgot to ask if we'd want a free dessert (or entree if we declined) until we asked about it after paying. read more

I couldn't even tell if it was because I was hungry or the food is really that good, but my Happy Hour Vera Cruz Tacos were seriously one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. The fish chunks were SO crispy and fresh and the creamy sauce and fresh onions were off the hook accompaniments. Pair that with my nonalcoholic Basil Ginger Spritz and this was an unexpectedly perfect and delicious little Happy Hour meal. My companion (my oldest child) enjoyed their Smash Burger and Grapefruit Pom Nom Paloma as well. The music was lively and at a good volume and the service from Andrew was great. Really really good experience that exceeded my admittedly limited expectations. But still , it's so much better to be pleasantly surprised than unexpectedly disappointed. read more

Time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by dropping by McMenamins Pubs, Breweries & Historic Hotels at McMenamins Mill Creek for a quick bite and drink. We were impressed by their menu given they specifically detail their vegan and vegetarian options, the vegetarian represented by a small "v" and the vegan, by what looks to be a 5 leaf clover. We were also impressed by the variety of vegan options that are available. You can check out their menu here - https://d2660z551umiy9.cloudfront.net/.../Mill.../MCmenu.pdf If you're looking for something healthy, they have two options. The first is a "Higher Bowl" - rice, black beans, cabbage, tomato, avocado, cilantro & your choice of sauce. They actually have three sauces labeled as vegan: Higher Tahini, Mai Thai, and Current Coconut. The second healthy option is a salad - Six Arms Goddess romaine, cucumber, tomato, bell peppers, marinated onion, pita chips, Goddess dressing. For burgers, you can opt for their "Mystic Burger" (our item of choice) - Beyond Burger patty, Mystic 18 sauce, creamy original Chao slice . For a sandwich, you can order a Bean & Seed Gyro - vegan patties, hummus, tahini sauce. YUM, so much to come back for another time. Last, you can order a side of fries - McMenamins Fries. In addition to our tasty burger with perfectly melted cheese and a hearty Irish Stout, we were treated to a live performance of playing of the bagpipes, very inspiring and moving! Last but not least, if you go visit .. be sure to check out their Celtic March Cocktails. We wanted to keep things traditional tonight, thus the Irish Stout, but they do have non dairy options available for their cocktails so no doubt that would be worth exploring as well. read more

Have yet to have a good time at this location. Employees are snobby just like mill creek, I one here embodies the Mcmenamins motto. No one I've interacted with the 4 times I've tried to enjoy a quick bite enjoy their job. Very dissatisfying, this location also doesn't seem on brand for Mcmenamins either. They need to branch out to places like, Snohomish, Monroe - Mcmenamins is loved for its destination and consistency. This Mill Creek location is just sub par. read more

We have been to every McMenamins in OR and WA and this was the worst food out of all them. Our burgers were rock hard and charred to a crisp . Fries and tots were over cooked . Our burgers were $23 each and burger king tastes better then ours did. Service was friendly but food was terrible. read more

Dropped in a couple times as we were in the area. There is a lot of parking nearby. I wouldn't say the experience was anything too exciting. The staff was not bad and would serve us food and drink at appropriate times. Each time we visited it was not a busy time, but the staff did seems to keep busy prepping and checking in on the customers that were there. I do like that they had a decorated card for drinks specials that looked creative. We would visit again, but would not be a place we would go out of our way for based on our experiences. read more

I tried to give this place a chance but it's just not good. The food is edible, sure, but for the price you're paying it's definitely not reflected in the service or food quality. Also, paid $22 for 6 wings which is crazy. Just save yourself the disappointment and avoid. read more

Solid food with good service. If you come during happy hour, you'll need to order a drink (alcoholic or non) to be able to order food off of the HH menu. Tots were so good, definitely recommend that over fries. The fish in the tacos were crispy even with all the toppings/sauce on top. read more

This is usually my go to place for a casual lunch or dinner. Great for families. Sunny days the patio is nice. Service is a little slow but the food is always reliable and the staff is always the best. They've upped the menu to add a few more vegan options which is a huge win for me. Be patient as it's light staffing. My favorite is the vegan Mystic 18 burger and the bean and seed Gyros. Looking to try the higher bowls next. read more

Super solid happy hour everyday from 3pm-6pm, you can't beat it. Always a solid choice when coming to McMenamins, especially when craving a burger and beer. My go to picks are the Cajun tots, a delicious IPA, and a cheeseburger. They're happy hour menu has several selections to chose from and has something for everyone to enjoy. Our server was awesome and on top of it. This place can get busy and looks like they have several regulars, so great to see. I love McMenamins and this place looks like it's going strong. read more

The interior of this place is nice, the bar is cool with nice wood features and there is a lot of seating. The music they play is fun. We got happy hour smash burgers and tots. The food was pretty good. We ordered a brownie for dessert, it was teeny with a scoop of ice cream and no whipped cream as advertised. It was $12.50. Not worth the price at all. I recommend skipping dessert at this place. Or at least the brownie. The service was bad. Our messy burgers were brought to the table with no napkins. Our drinks were empty a long time before we were approached and even then we had to ask for the refills. No one really checked in on us. We needed to go to the bar to order the dessert and to get our check. Our receipt was brought to us and set on the table and No one thanked us One Star for food. One Star for ambience. One Star for music. No stars for service. read more

Service sucked. Why is the default tip 18%? And let's go back to the days of leaving the check at the table instead of making customers try to review the bill and figure out tip all why the server impatiently waits. Seriously, don't go here. They suck. read more

As a McMenamins Passport holder, I'll go to a McMenamins for a second time because I can usually count on the food and ambiance. That said, when I stopped by for my third time at the Mill Creek location, I wasn't impressed. I ordered the cheeseburger which came off of the grill a bit charred, to a level I would usually send back. And the service, left something to be desired. I might as well have ordered my food from a food truck or a grocery store for the level of service I received. read more

Service was not good at all for this caliber of a restaurant. The server was not friendly at all. He never refilled drinks until flagged down. The water pitcher remained empty for the entire meal. The burgers were unseasoned and OVERCOOKED! The best thing was Cajun tater tots. Will not be returning. Heard great things about other locations from family members. It's the reason we tried this location. Very unremarkable! read more

Went in for dinner tonight at 6:15. First time at this location, but I've been to a lot of McMenamins over the years. The Barman was really wound up. Within a couple of seconds he was freaking out because my (obviously) disabled son was headed towards the bar area rather than the restaurant area. He acted like he was going to explode. We are talking three feet in the wrong direction. NO need for the drama. He's in the wrong business. A terrible first impression. We found a table (it's self serve here) and brought menus with us. A server came over and asked us for our beverage order. After quite a while she came back. The soda was both warm and almost flat. She took our order. I ended up paying 20.00 for a salad (southwest - no protein) in a soup bowl. Chicken strips and tots that I think they charged 27.00 for!! And a bowl of chicken soup. And the one kids soda. These are stadium prices! The place was nearly empty, but had lots of floor staff. Almost one server per table. Our food took a very long time to come out. The chicken strips looked and tasted like they came out of a freezer bag - store brand- from Fred Meyer. They were flat, not plump or juicy. The breading was like sand mixed with sawdust. The tots were good. They are tots! The soup was good. The salad was not something I would order again - and an embarrassing value. It was definitely not a dinner sized salad - but it was priced as if it were. This meal for two was 58.00 before gratuity. A remarkably terrible value. A rip off in fact. Highway robbery, even. To say we won't ever be back goes without saying. Gross. Do better. read more

Just ordered appetizers and beers. They were okay, server was nice. Kinda expensive but not off the charts. Beer was good, cold.

Friendly staff. Fast service. Great food. This is a great pub! We stopped in here as our last stop for the night to complete our Seattle passport page. Our page prize was a burger so that became our dinner. We decided to split 1 burger and get soup as well. Our server took our drink and food orders quickly after we chose a seat. I always appreciate it when we ask to split something that they bring it already cut in half and on 2 separate plates! Great service!! The burger was cooked perfectly and the soup was really good too. We also ordered the soft pretzel sticks with cheese. It was served hot and they were delicious. My absolute favorite item on the McMenamins menu! We'll be starting new passports in just a few weeks so we'll be back in the area soon for more stamps. read more

Met a friend here for a weekday dinner, but mostly to visit and catch up. I am eating a pretty restrictive diet so I ordered simply. I ordered tonic water with lime which may have been my mistake, it came sweetened which I didn't expect. I asked for a non-sweetened carbonated water and was told I want soda water. Okay. The waiter was helpful and got me set-up quickly. I ordered a dinner salad with chicken (the Aztec salad) and it arrived as ordered (no tortilla strips by request). It was on the small side, a medium bowl with mostly mixed greens, a few cherry tomatoes, some black beans, and a spicy chipotle dressing. The chicken was really well prepared and seasoned but was probably just a 4 oz serving. All in all it tasted great and was just on the small side. This seems like a classic neighborhood place, families with kids, couples and other groups came in and seemed to enjoy the comforting food that was on the menu. There is a nice bar with patrons around during our visit. The server was friendly but not overly chatty, a good thing. He was very good about leaving us after we had finished and paid for our meal. I will note that McMenamins was not too busy on Tuesday, a good thing for visitors. I like that there is mostly booth seating. Looks like they have a great patio for warmer weather dining! read more

I like McMenamins! It's my go-to bar in Mill Creek if I'm in the area. The staff is always great, friendly and they seem to enjoy their jobs for the most part. I really have no complaints about the food or the drinks. This is a great stress-free spot to enjoy a nice drink and unwind a bit. Sometimes the place could be a little cleaner, but I have no real complaints about McMenamins. read more

Omg! Where did they found the cook? Everything we ordered were super burnt. I don't like returning my food to the waiter because I'm afraid of retaliation and spitting on. I can understand if they were short staff or the restaurant was very busy but in this case they're not. I will not be coming back here again until they get rid of that horrible cook and hopefully hire a descent one. read more

It's been awhile since i felt this ignored in a restaurant? Never even offered me a refill of my coffee for my entire meal. Never checked to see if I liked my food. Dad's burger was so so and my Thai bowl dry and plain. Had to find somebody to bring me more sauce after that I had to go find somebody for my coffee and bring us a bill. As we left, not one person said thank you I'm just stunned. Tables that were piled high with dirty dishes when we arrived, still there as I left. Wont be back. read more

I didn't plan on eating here tonight but I'm glad that I did. Coming here is bittersweet because my late husband and I spent countless Saturday (and sometimes Friday and Sunday) nights here, enjoying late night happy hour. Tonight I was craving a corn dog so I was really happy that Scooby Snacks are available! SO much better than Sonic, and honestly about the same drive. I was a little disappointed that they no longer have Mac and Cheese on the menu, but maybe they'll bring it back with a little persuasion. The service tonight was a little slow, but the great food made up for it. I'm surprised how expensive this place has gotten. A room beer, basket of Cajun Tots and an order of Scooby Snacks were $32 with tip. The good news is that I have a ton of leftover food, so I'll get at least two more meals out of it. That being said, I love this place and plan to come here more often; especially at night. It's quiet and the music is great. I love relaxing in a booth reading or even coloring. I'm very impressed with the improvements to the outside of this location (it's at the end of a strip mall), because it's light and bright so I felt safe being here alone. Looking forward to making this a regular hangout again. My husband will be there in spirit. read more

Came in for a quick lunch and decided on their fish and chips. It was good. Their tarter sauce is excellent! Fish had a nice batter that was fried to the perfect golden crispness.

I have been a fan of McMenamins, very chill and laid back place to just kick it. I prefer ciders and have thoroughly enjoyed them while the husband always loves ordering the flights to be able taste a little bit of everything. Most of all, I love their tots.

McMenamins Mill Creek - Fish and chips with bland coleslaw - New American Near Me - Mill Creek, Washington

This is the only McMenamins I've ever been to so I can't compare in that regard. We were surprised to find it was located at the end of a strip mall, that's just not what I picture when I hear 'McMenamins' but whatever. My food was good and I didn't really experience anything outright bad but I also didn't leave with any desire to return. The Cran-Apple Smash cocktail I tried was delicious but not strong at all, if that's what you're looking for. They had off-brand RC Cola for soda options? I've never seen that before. The fish and chips are one of the best battered fish and chips I've tried, although I personally prefer the breaded ones at neighboring Sean O'Donnell's. The fries are better at McMenamins but still are just okay... I also love the chowder at SOD and McMenamin's doesn't have chowder at all so SOD still wins in my book, since I can order two great bites of food vs McMenamins' one. My mom had the beef dip, she thought it was fine but nothing to write home about. The menu doesn't have much variety - typical burgers, sandwiches, salads, the most basic of apps, and a very small 'specialties' / 'other' section with mac and cheese, fish and chips, and a couple other basic entrees. You can absolutely serve pub fare without it being 'boring', but not here, I guess. If you -are- going to have a basic menu, it should be high quality or at least large portions; the other food coming out didn't look like anything special to me. The only interesting thing I saw offered here was the drink flights. If you want to come for those and consider the food secondary, you might have a better experience than we did. But it's also not really the atmosphere I'm looking for if I'm wanting to go out and drink or socialize. I guess I just don't 'get' what I should be coming here for. I doubt we'll be back. I've had equally good battered fish and chips closer to home and can think of plenty more appealing places to grab a drink. Service was fine but not great. Interior and atmosphere is lacking. I just don't see any reason to come back. There's definitely better food options in the vicinity and even more that are worth a drive. read more

So I have came here twice before I reviewed. I truly enjoy the one in Bothell. The staff is friendly to an extent.. they don't handle complaints well. The first time we ordered fish and chips. They can out burned. Dry. Nasty. Waiter came and saw we had 3 fully burned fish out of 6 and said I will handle that. The manager brought us 2. For the price this is unacceptable. He asked for the burned fish as he gave us the new fish.. then got upset when I asked for the 3rd piece. It went over very poor with me. 2nd trip it was my treat to co worker and he wanted to try again.... We got salads. I went for the blue cheese one. It needed cranberry. My friend went Aztec and added chicken and had it wrap. $14 salads with no chicken add chicken $7 plus $1 to wrap it. It was a $22 dollar chicken wrap! Who sells a $22 dollar chicken wrap?! My coworker was very happy. Oh yeah we ordered a fry as an appetizer. It came out so huge I was blown back. I mean redonkulously huge. Well the price matched it was $10. My nice little lunch set me back $57. Never again! read more
