McKenzie Pub

Best I have found in the LO, Tualatin, Sherwood, Oregon City, Portland area.

I have eaten at many places in the last 13 years here in PDX. They are the best for
burgers, prime rib on wed and thurs.

My absolute fav is the Philly Steak  Cheese on Friday afternoons!!

Hey, it's a bar.  Close to a friends house, which makes it the destination of choice when in the area.

It's one of those bars that has peanut shells all over the ground.  I actually find this sort of gross, especially if they get all wet from spillage or rain being tracked about.

Foods ok.  I had a burger and fries once and they were average.  A group of friends ordered the gut busting Large Nachos and managed to finish it.  If you do order this particular platter, make sure there are at least 4 in your party to share.

I've only ordered a beer here once, and that's probably my last time.  The order was taken at a table and then the waiter promptly forgot about it.  It wasn't until about a half hour later when a friend asked "Hey, didn't you order a beer?" and I realized he was right. . .my beer was MIA.   (Since I'm not a big drinker, I hadn't even noticed).  My dear friend then went up to the bar and asked said waiter where my beer had gone.  He was able to get my beer, but the waiter never showed with an apology for me.

Oh well, since it's the spot all my friends love to play pool at, I will be back, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

My husband and I have been going to McKenzie Pub for several years now since we moved into the area.  We go back time and time again for breakfast and dinner.  The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is half-typical bar and half-woodsy hometown restaurant.  I've seen the signs that say kids can eat there until 9:00 pm, which I think is a pretty cool feature.

For breakfast we always order the country combo which runs around $7 and it comes with 2 eggs, a generous helping of your choice of a meat, hashbrowns or diced potatoes AND biscuits and gravy.  I usually can't eat the whole plate, but it is good and well worth the price!  There is nowhere else in town that I know of where you can get that much food for that kind of a price.

Dinners I switch between the typical dinner choice (steak, etc.) and their sandwiches.  The BBQ pulled pork sandwich is on the larger side and has just the right amount of sauce.  My husband always orders the McKenzie steak with is a steak with grilled peppers and onions on top with a baked potato, salad and garlic bread.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

We don't drink much, so I can't comment on the alcohol selection very well.  Have had a margarita once in a while which was good.  They also have a lot of TVs around the room and one of them usually has something interesting to watch - not always the sports or NASCAR.

The only downsides are some nights when you are there and it is poker night or karaoke night and it gets a bit crowded.  We always have good and prompt service, even on the busy nights.
