    Guinness BBQ quesadilla with spinach tortilla
    April B.

    Food was pretty good. We ordered the bacon tater bombs for appetizer which were very good. I ordered the Guinness BBQ quesadilla which I enjoyed. The service was fine, no complaints. Overall the ambiance is family friendly so parents can enjoy themselves while the kids go play in the arcade area. It was a bit pricier than we expected for our meal but they do have family friendly deals that make nights out with your family more reasonably priced.

    Service fee!

    Mulligans Garner was recommended by a friend when they first opened. Pros: The atmosphere is standard for a family restaurant/rec type setting. The Celtic / Buffalo Wrap was tasty. The menu has a lot of good options but if you like good customer service look Nice ambient lighting. ___________________________________ Cons: Service Fee automatically attached to the receipt and the manager didn't seem to have a solution as her explanation was that the service fee is for credit card transactions and should have been removed since this was a cash transaction. elsewhere. Not customer centric. Very much overpriced for the portion size.

    Tons of fun for the kids

    Absolutely fun afternoon with family from California, Colorado, and the Raleigh area. I haven't played miniature golf in 40 years and really enjoyed one of the three beautiful courses they have. Also, I haven't swung a softball bat in 40 years, was a little rusty with the first five pitches, but nailed the rest of them! All the games for the kids both small and young were very enjoyable for the kids we had with us! Highly recommend any families who are looking for a fun outing!

    Scotch eggs. We ate one already.

    Chill place to come as a family! The kids menu nuggets and fries are really good and a great portion. We also tried the scotch eggs and enjoyed them. We were able to have lunch, drink beer and the kids could play in the arcade. Definitely coming back!

    I have dined here twice and have had good experiences! I love the layout of the restaurant and they have axe throwing and arcade games. The first time I stopped in was for a beer and warm pretzel sticks with cheese and mustard. They have Hell Yes Ma'am on tap and it's one of my favorites. The second time I had lunch with my boyfriend. He had the Reuben and I had the chicken Philly. My sandwich was just ok, but the Reuben was delicious. I will definitely order that the next time I dine here. All of the waitstaff are very friendly and on top of their game. I'm looking forward to returning and trying out axe throwing.

    Came here on a sat at opening time for our first time. Got the scotch eggs and tots which were awesome. The fish was full of batter and not fully cooked. I ordered a drink that was suppose to come with a salm rimand didn't. Bit onve we seen the bartender Jennifer B stick her bare hand into the olive jar and dig them out to put into a bowl. We were totally turned off. Ewe and yuk. Also a waitress kept coming over to the sliced oranges and taking herself some with her bare hands to eat. $80 some bucks later with tip so $99 so not worth it.

    Food is not the best. Menu is a little pricey and not a lot going on there. Games are years behind the current demand for kids.

If coffee isn't your thing via No Filter next door, take a few steps down and have a seat. Server Brandy was a delight. It was midday and I was in the mood for chicken fingers and pie.

The Key Lime Pie was soft, had bite, and a firm crust. It was delicious. The experience as a whole was okay - probably a winner in its "genre," but I'm not one for the bar scene. You might like it.

It's dated and feels 2000's cozy. Service was great both times I came. Nothing to worry about there. They take really good care of you. They have a lot of specials and the menu is quite extensive. It's a bit off the beaten path hidden a few blocks away from 42 where it's not easily seen. It was decently busy so people know it's there, but if it was on 42 like where Cleveland Draft House is, this place would be packed out all the time. Both times I came here I got the wings because I heard the wings are good. They are a solid 8/10. The one and only thing that would push them over the top--smoked wings. Everything else was perfect. They were quite meaty, sauces are delicious, crispy skin...just need a bit of smoke that's all. Good thing they aren't because I'd be in here weekly if they ever did start smoking them. Buddy got the chicken fried steak and thought it was great. I posted some updated menu photos since there were none. I'll be back!

    McKinley's is a Clayton anchor! Tucked into the heart of town, this old-school sports bar feels…read morelike it's been here forever--in the best way possible. Every wall is lined with TVs playing whatever game matters most that night, while dollar bills cover the walls like a scrapbook of good times, tall tales, and nights that ran a little longer than planned. The décor nods proudly (and somewhat creatively) to Irish heritage, with touches of green, classic signs, and a love of good beer doing most of the storytelling. It's a place where locals gather, strangers become regulars fast, and the atmosphere is equal parts loud cheers, friendly debate, and comfortable familiarity. Unpolished, well-worn, and full of character, it's the kind of small-town sports bar where the drinks are cold, the TVs are always on, and everyone feels right at home. The menu leans into its claims of Irish roots with a lineup of familiar pub classics--hearty, comforting dishes that feel right at home alongside a pint. But as solid as those classics may be, the real standout is the good old pub burger. Cooked exactly the way you ask for it--perfectly rare, juicy, and full of flavor--it's the kind of burger that reminds you why simplicity done right always wins. Served up hot and fresh by a friendly face that treats you like a regular, it's not just a meal, it's part of the experience: honest food, genuine hospitality, and a plate that keeps people coming back. Cheers!

I normally do not like leaving bad reviews and very rarelyeave such a low score especially.on a place I like normally. We were seated right away which was nice since there were busy. It was at least 5 minutes before our waitress came and asked us for our drink orders, maybe longer. She seemed to be having a bad night, very unfriendly no smile, was very avious she was not happy. She brought us our drinks and asked of we were ready. They had the boneless wing speacial so wife and daughter got those and I got 12 Jumbo hot wings. They also ordered salads and I ordered loaded potato skins for an appetizer. It seemed to take forever, which I was understanding since there were busy. Eventually the salads came. Wait the ranch dressing for the wings came out 1st. As they ate thier salads I wondered if maybe she didn't get my order for the potato skins.... Eventually she bought 2 orders of wings.my daughters 12 and a big plate of wings. She was like yea the kitchen is crazy this is what they sent. It was a whole bugbplatebof boneless wings. She then brought my jumbo wings. I asked her did you not get my potato skins order... she non-shalontly said yea I got them, im waiting on them and she said something abiutbtheres a new guy training and blames them. We'll no because potato skins were way over cooked the top was dark and the inside were dark as well. My wife tried one and my daughter wouldn't even touch them. The boneless wings were so dry and over cooked. My wings looked ok but they were also hit wings so the were drenched in buffalo sauce as they should be. They ok a little over cooked but we're ok. The Boneless wings were over cooked and dry. The atmosphere was typical of a trivia night which was good. The waitress was horrible no personality almost an attitude even though I tried being nice. No thank you.no have a good night, nothing. I understand people have bad days but if your in the business you just cant be this way. I love this place except for the bathroooms.. which I wish they would update thier bathrooms. I hope maybe if they read this review they can adjust. Yes we got sone extra wings for whatever reason but they were still sry and overcooked.

The warm edison bulbs flicker to life as if they've been waiting just for you, casting lazy shadows across blue walls and gilded mirrors. A hush of soft laughter drifts from a nearby corner where friends lean close, their glasses catching light like captured constellations. Velvet armchairs and couches cradle quiet conversations, while behind the bar, bottles gleam with impossible colors; one even glows, ever so slightly, when the bartender passes. You can't tell if it's the lighting or a trick of magic--and you don't really want to know. They call it whimsical, but really--it's their Old Fashioned. The kind of drink that feels less made and more summoned. When they craft it, there's a ceremony to the motion: sugar stirred just so, bitters dashed with the precision of a spell mark, a single twist of orange releasing its perfume like a secret. The bartender doesn't rush. She moves with the calm assurance of someone who knows time bends for good cocktails. You will find your seat in one of the several cozy alcoves, each space hums with quiet enchantment. Don't forget the food out back, part settled, part wizard of flavor, the food truck delights with gluten-free magic for everyone. Every dish is crafted so well, you'll forget it's "free" of anything--except compromise. Clayton is lucky to have this upscale hideaway where alchemy meets ambiance and every sip feels like a small enchantment. Cheers!

The arcade games are fun for all ages, so this is also a place you can bring your family during the day, which is something different for the area.
