Went there on Monday at 8:30pm. Sign on the door said closing was 9pm. We went in as usually this means no new customers or orders after 9pm if that when they close but was refused service as they said they are closing in 30...minutes. WOW! I'm just surprised with not only refusing us and another couple in front of us but especially during COVID when I'm sure they are not as busy as usual. So we went somewhere else and spent our money.More

After driving all day, and based on a high TA rating, decided to just walk across the street from our hotel. Lived up to its rating. My wife loved the Chicken Club Rolls and I enjoyed the Meatloaf on mashed potatoes, with a side of...freshly cooked veggies. Large portions and reasonably priced. They also made sure everyone had proper social distances.More

The french onion soup and side salad were both excellent. The salad had pears and grape nuts on it, a fun change from a typical restaurant side salad. Our server was friendly and attentive.

This restaurant was recommended by a colleague in the area as a favorite. It was okay. Nothing special. The ambience in the restaurant was rustic themed and pretty.

“The Dirty Dozen Cousins” stayed at the Wingate by Wyndham (3rd year in a row) just walking distance to MacKenzies. It was a cold/snowy day and this was a cozy/friendly/well-staffed delicious treat! We enjoyed our first visit so much we returned again the next evening.
