The only good thing I can say about McKecks is pizza was delicious. Was going to give them two stars because of the pizza, but... can?t do it. Showed up on a Sunday night, place wasn?t too busy at the time. Waited at the desk to be seated but had to flagsomeone down after waiting 10 minutes. After getting seated we waited at least ten minutes for a server. We ordered drinks anddinner at the same time. My pizza and my wife?s burger showed up after about 35 minutes. Like I said, pizza was delicious, mywife?s burger was OK, but the fries were bottom of the fryer, hard, small bits (see picture). After I ate half my pizza and mywife ate the burger only, we waited another 30 minutes for the server to come by. In and out in over two hours. In spite ofall this, we were going to order takeout the next night as options in Haliburton on a holiday Monday are limited. They do notanswer their phone, refer you to a website to order online that doesn?t work. We have been coming to Haliburton for over 30years and will never go back to McKecks again. Place has gone downhill since Walt sold. Read more
We sat with our two kids for nearly 20 minutes after being seated without a hint of acknowledgement. Plenty of staff behind the... bar, all chatting away. Our table about 6 feet from that bar. Every other table, same - no contact. We got up and left. Airheadat the door said ?Thanks!? Yeah, great awareness. Never coming back. Read more
Smoking busy place, but like every restaurant they seem to have been hit with COVID staffing issues, our server had ZERO skills,... and we suspect she didn't make it through the day, she was constantly tripping on her own two feet, spilled tarter sauce on myhat, couldn't ask a question or listen to a patron. The food was good, the hostess was on point, the bar seemed busy, suggestionis to deal with your take out system better, seen way too many people sitting and hovering around the bar waiting for food whenits busy. Have them wait outside or don't allow walk in orders while they wait. Read more
Great not so little place! I was surprised how far back this well appointed spot goes. Lots of room to move around, and the... serving staff were so efficient! The place was pretty busy, but they held it down. The food was delicious and very generousportions. Walking out after a nice meal to take in the awesome town of Haliburton was the perfect ending????

We came to Haliburton with no expectations for a good place to grab dinner and oh boy, how foolish we were to assume that!... McKeck?s had an amazing vibe, super friendly staff, great quality food?and clean washrooms to boot!

A great spot in Haliburton with something for everyone. Very friendly staff who are also good with kids. Great selection of... craft beers on tap. Menu has all the pub classics and a few specialties. I had the "Blue Line" burger (which includes sauteedonions & blue cheese), my husband had fish & chips and the kids had chicken fingers. Everything seems to be made in-house fromfresh ingredients. Due to Covid, there was a bit of a wait for a table (even on a Wednesday night) and staff were working hardto keep up with demand. My burger was slightly overdone, but everything else was great. An overall great experience. Mydaughter wants to go back again next week! Read more
Pros: Really good food and beautiful ambiance. We were in the area for hockey, and Walt came out to talk to the kids. That was... incredible. Cons: The staff were unwelcoming and seemed annoyed by basic requests (and the restaurant was not busy orunderstaffed- I would empathize if that was the case) Read more
