McGinnis Landing Restaurant-Oar House

Always Great! The service is good, the food is good, and I love the new look! I would always recommend McGinnis!

Had a great time here tonight with my friends but mostly with the staff. Unbelievable experience as the place was really busy and upbeat. The server that I had Andrew spent great quality time with us and recommended some great dinners that we thoroughly enjoyed. My wife had a stirfry which she loved - cooked perfectly and on the healthy side- I had a salmon dinner- can't even remember what our friends had, we were there for the longest time taking in the night. They even had a young server singing opera for a guest which threw us off at first because we didn't know where the sound was coming from, but we were impressed. Great clientele- (we are in our mid-50's) and felt young just being there- menu had something for everyone. I had been there many many years ago and have since moved across town- but will plan on making this a regular haunt. Our friends had been there recently and knew about the upgrades to the decor and knew some of the staff that were around- they tell us it is always fun to be there- is nice to see in a summer month a restaurant being flush with guests and great food. One thing that caught me by surprise was the decor by the front windows, treatment was great- but dividers didn't seem to blend overall- also, bathrooms were not really clearly marked- but overall wonderful night.

I do not usually hit roadhouse style franchises, and not even sure how I ended up here, but was a little surprised. I did not know they had renovated, and while it was a little too bright for my liking and the music a little loud, I thought that it looked much better than what I had expected. Booths were comfortable.

Service was so so- friendly enough, but she did not know a lot about the menu. As apps, the chicken tenders were really good, potato skins, not so much, but I am not sure why people still have those as menu items- seems so 80's doesn't it?

Entrees were excellent and plentiful- salmon was tender and the thai stir fry, while not having much chicken, was loaded with veggies.

Skipped desserts, but they were presented well and looked good.

Good classic restaurant. You pretty much can't go wrong. Prices are fair, portions are fairly big.

Beware of Kid's night (i think it's on tuesdays).

BEST food and service in the city- have a friend who goes there often and always tells us to go by and have dinner.. but busy with our kids and work..decided tonight to go in and enjoy some family time and things were excellent. Our server Heidi was very pleasant, the kids thought she was great fun. Our dinners were timely and hot- everything was great.
Will suggest to our friends who want to have a fun night out with their kids and at a reasonable price.

I eat here all the time and love it!
I often have the blackened salmon, seafood citrus pasta and rib dinners and I am never disappointed. The best day to go is All You Can Eat Ribs on Wednesdays!
The servers are always very accomodating and the updates and renos are so trendy.
On this particular event we had a larger group and some had never been before and were very impressed!
Go--- you will not leave disappointed!!

Best Eatery Ever!
Went out for a Christmas party with some staff from work on a Wednesday night- expecting, some quiet average night and got a fun-filled, booming night, full of energy and great service. Our server (can't remember her name) due to the cocktail list.. was outstanding- everytime we needed something she was there- I had been before (often go bi-weekly with my family) but several friends had not and were amazed@! at the new decor and style. Our meals were all great- food was perfect. We stayed for hours and were treated like family by the time we took off and were promptly welcomed back next time by the hostess who gave us all $5 off our next dinner!! what a nice night out- thanks from the staff at Wiley!!

A scratched up plate of generic run of the mill mixed greens with a 2 dollar overcooked breakfast steak slapped on top and "heaped" with a skimpy chunk of cheap goat cheese is never worth 20 of my dollars again. Total rip! And the lasagna was clearly microwaved to "perfection"... Kitchens make BIG mistakes in thinking they can fool seasoned diners. It's also worth mentioning the garlic bread clearly sat for too long and began to fossilize. It was as hard as a rock. So was the "cornbread" that accompanied my salad, if you can call that a salad. I saw a lot of people quitely poking and pushing their food about on their plates. Generally the hallmark of a good restaurant is noise and laughter, glasses clanging...A good loud. Not on this evening. Quite and stagnant is what comes to mind. The kitchen is trying to cook a little something from all parts of the globe. Anyone with any sense in the industry knows this never works and you have a sub-par product every time. A sure sign of inexperience at the helm. The dining room looks as though its been freshly re-done however it doesn't appear craftsman, rather cheap in fact. Can't imagine what it was like before the reno.

All and all, its not the worst thing I have had in recent memory...That was next door at the Oar house. Same kitchen by the way. That was a dog food burger that took almost 50 min. to reach the table. Understandable...There were a good 15 people in the bar that tuesday at 9pm.

First of all, we had to wait for 45 minuets out side of the restaurant to get table while we already reserved a table for 8 people. The quality of the food was not good. MY lasagna was supposed to come with beef but it barely had any. The price of the food was expensive for that quality. my friend did not like their fries. My caesar salad had barely parmesan cheese.

Happened to go in to check out the new renovations and was blown away to see how great things looked- the place was hopping. Our server never missed a mark and the food was outstanding. I think this was a huge improvement visually but the service and quality of meal never waivers. My husband and I will make this our weekly date spot for sure- consistency is thre,
