    Newer price $5 for the extra patty.
    K T.

    Ok. First of all.. this is my favorite burger and what i think is the best burger around. Now to the 3 stars. I have been coming here or to the shack for over 20 years and the food is still delicious and the safe is still friendly. But the price has gone crazy. The regular burger is now $12.95. Cheese will be extra as will bacon. And of corse the extra patty. But what the hell. The extea patty is $10 bucks now. We ordered 2 double burgers, one fry and one soda. With a 5 dollar tip our lunch was just under $75.00 Yes I said $75. So with the drive from Bakersfield, that was a $100 lunch in a brown bag. Not like its table service. I will definitely be back and instill suggest going there. Just be ready to pay like your having dinner in a fancy restaurant, but its a burger shop in the mountains.

    Had a 5-star burger here two days ago and had to try their breakfast menu. They didn't disappoint! Ordered a breakfast quesadilla with bacon and I will keep coming back.

    This place has really good food. It's fresh and tasty. They also have a "salad" option for the burger which was so delicious with lots of veggies! My kids got the tenders and the inside was fresh juicy chicken breasts. The Milkshakes are also good quality and they even have a caramel flavor with caramel syrup all around. 100% recommend :)

    Fresh ice water for the pups.

    Our first day in Kernville and we needed a place for a quick lunch with the dogs. McNally's fit the bill. I recommend the smash burger as it's nice and crispy and it flattens out bigger than the bun. And they butter both buns which is extra goodness. My husband also enjoyed his regular 6 oz not smashed burger with all of the goodies. The large fries was more than enough for 2. They also have a dog patty which we declined, but we were grateful for the ice water they put out fresh for the pups.

    I ordered McNally burger on a bed of lettuce w/grilled onions and egg on top. Jalapeño jam OMG Always stop in while in town the best burgers!

    Small but quaint little joint, with a beautiful scenic view and what makes it even better is the great food. We have eaten here multiple times with family and even while out here working in the area. It makes a great lunch spot. Great portions and delicious burgers. Not my favorite style of fry but well cooked and decently seasoned. Hands down one of the better milkshake spots in Kern County, with their must try jalapeño vanilla milkshake. Beware, they only make a few a day, probably depending on how many jalapeños they have on hand but easily one of the most memorable milkshakes I've ever had. Smooth and creamy vanilla matches the nice kick from the jalapeño. It pairs excellently with a burger and fry. A must try spot near the lake, with a beautifully positioned porch/deck seating. We will definitely be having McNally's again in the near future.

    Delicious burgers and BLT! The milkshakes are really good too. You can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and Mountain View or take the food to go. Service was really friendly but the poor employee was working alone both running the register and cooking when we went during the afternoon, so it took a while for our food. We ended up taking our food to go and eating back at the cabin. We'll definitely be back, thank you!

    Great breakfast burritos and juicy burgers. The go to spot in Kernville. The previous reviews about the sweet potato fries are right on point.

    Always have to come here eat trip up. They have the best breakfast and the burgers and malt shakes are delicious. Cute small place to stop in eat. Few tables inside and lots of seating outside. Service is quick and friendly.

    A MUST TRY!!! Delicious!! Mouth watering, fresh, unique. My daughter and I kept shaking our heads it was so good!

    Avocado, bacon burger.

    So glad we chose to come to this place after a long weekend of camping. There was a bit of a line, but it was well worth the wait. It was the first time that I ever bought a $20 hamburger but it did not disappoint- worth every cent. They had shaded places to eat outside . Would definitely come here again on our next trip to Kernville.

    The breakfast burrito is truly awesome. A great way to fuel your fishing day. Plus it's next to a fly shop.

    OK, as a vegetarian, I'm gonna start this post out for all you fellow veggies by saying YES, they…read morehave a freaking awesome plant based impossible burger !! And it's huge !! It's a must stop !! so I was coming down the mountain and realized I only had a very little time left before they closed, so I got there right as they were stopping taking orders (3:45) maybe even a couple minutes late, but she took mine anyways and was happy to do so without any problem, which is the first awesome thing I will say about this experience. I wish I would've caught her name, because she made my day !!Second thing I would like to mention is the price and how huge the portions are. The price was comparable to everywhere else and it was not marked up for being how far it was away from the actual Kernville town. If you don't know, there's only so many places to eat in the Kernville town and up on the mountain, especially for vegetarians, so I feel like I've pretty much tried them all except for some strange reason I haven't tried the McNally's down in the Kernville town, but will now !...But what I wanted to mention, and I will name some other places nameless, but I've ordered stuff and spent $20+(which I feel is normal these days unfortunately) and left still feeling hungry. But not at McNally Burgers !! I ordered the impossible burger, which was huge and I also ordered a large side of fries, freaking delish !!! The only thing I'm bummed about is that I've been coming up here for about five years now and I haven't stopped here sooner. Bravo McNally's !! Thank you for having an awesome veggie option on the menu for us I will definitely start being a regular customer up the road and in town ! And I haven't checked yet, but please put some awesome veggie option on the menu at the steakhouse for me when I come back up !

    They fresh ground the steak daily to make the burgers. Really great…read morePlease see picture for correct hours.

    Food was really good. We came to see the national forest/100 trails and on our way back down we…read morewere hungry and we found this diner! We believe the food was pretty good and the service was good too. They had good music and good ambiance. Definitely recommend.

    I had an "interresting" morning....compliments of Cheyl's Diner…read more I am a trained military explosives expert- however " the type of Explosives I am referring to here is NOT a quality ANYONE would hope to have to deal with- and very much warrant an honest YELP review, warning, or an I told you so. Yes,That bad. A skimpy ration of what they put between the rye toast and the disgusting over pricing - I gladly welcome vs. the "effects" of it on the human body. The rudeness, teribble service, and ignorance of the owner, and staff there goes right along with the effects of what happens afterwards. I would appreciate it if I were issued a T- shirt reading " I survived Cheryl's Diner" to serve as fair warning to those who are not aware. I believe in supporting the "Mom & Pop" establishments in our communities, but I would have to bet that "Pop" suffered and exited - after dining in this place. This would be a perfect target for Chef Gordon Ramsey to visit. Can't imagine the horror he'd find in the walk in freezer. Needless to say, If given the choice- I would choose military MRE's over this futile attempt of actually considering this place a " Diner". The loud gossip between the waitresses should have been enough of an indicator to leave. The results of the effects on the human body after eating there though, will assure that I will NEVER return. Actually, I feel it's only fair to warn others of the results of this poor choice. I would seriously consider beginning a "fast" to going through all that again. I'd love to admit I am exaggerating- were that the case. If they have " negative" grades on rating the "cuissine"- This place is a banner reason why. I can only offer my appology to my date, and fair warning to any who consider eating there. I would go onto the lack of cleanliness of the restrooms- but I am truly ready to simply let the memory of the place fade, and become an automatic warning to avoid it at all costs in the foreseeable future. If I had to sum it up on one word, I rekon "Disgusting" would do.
