Had some kind of chicken with seafood stuffing topped with processed cheese goop. They need to top it with real cheese. Also, the inside feels cold except for the one stall rest room. Also, was a bit pricey. Cindy, our server, was excellent!

The food is very good, one of the better restaurants in Clinton! We had the fantail shrimp and they were so good, it comes a choice of 2 sides. My husband had a salad and french fries and i had a salad and cup of soup. The salads are very small and plain, the soup was really good. I agree... More

This restaurant has good american food. It is nothing fancy or that unique but the food is very good and the service has always been great. The location makes this restaurant a place you have to be looking for. We lived in Clinton for about one year before we found this place. Once we did we were happily surprised because... More

Good food and service in a somewhat old fashioned building. Don't be put off by the location or the looks outside, you will get good food and service

.......and varying food quality. First of all, a very nice, well kept restaurant. Friendly and excellent service from first entrance to exciting the door. Appetizers, drinks were all very good. One dinner entree was outstanding, very well prepared and served. The other a bit less than average, well seasoned but under-cooked, not the best cut of meat. Over-all, would still... More

On a trip last year I decided to find a lesser known place amd stumbled upon the McKinley Street Tsverne...excellent across the board and rich in history. I make it a point to stop anytime I am in Clinton and go out of my way at times to visit

We eat at McKinley Street Tavern whenever we come to Clinton. Great food, well prepared and served. Reasonable prices. I especially like the 'frog's legs'. A real treat!

We got there just as they were getting ready to close, but they insisted we come on in anyway. We had a very good meal. Mine could have been hotter, but it was really good. The service was very good also. The server was very attentive, but did not smother us. The place is in a beautiful old house that... More
