    Excellent pre-game experience. Great variety of food, excellent wait staff. Should always have it available when Founders isn’t open.

    Had breakfast buffet before USC football game. Location to campus, hotel and stadium are excellent. Staff was very friendly and food selection were outstanding! Would definitely dine there on other occasions.

    We were in LA for the Penn State USC game, so they were serving the "Game Day Buffet Breakfast," which included custom omelets. Everything was tasted great and the service was excellent! We will definitely eat there again when we return for another game!

    We wanted breakfast before a game but were very disappointed. The only meal available was a buffet, even though there was no mention of that on any website or menu. It took 40 minutes to just get our coffee (had to ask the host) and we had to reorder our omelets (the only made to order option) since our order “didn’t through.” We will not be back.

    Aside from the photos they retained, there is nothing positive about the remodel and the new format, menu, and food service philosophy. The 6 in our party will never be back. The comfort and ambiance have been destroyed. One more thing—the noise was unbearable and the class of customers has taken a dive commensurate with the changes listed above.
    McKay'sResponded on September 22, 2024
    We are sorry we left you disappointed in our Game Day Experience. We took your feedback to our team and made changes and adjustments. We hope you give us another shot on an upcoming game day. Thank you!

    Convenient pregame food. Line was bogged down at beginning ordering and paying. Drink selection didnt include iced tea and multiple people were asking for tea. Liked opentable reservation system. Servers were friendly. Hot dog was dry. Tacos were tasty and condiments were good. Cupcakes were EXCELLENT!!!!

    The food quality and selection was poor to say the least. Prime rib was not of the best quality (fatty) and the rest of the foot was average bar food. Expected more for the price - $50.

    We eat at McKay's when we come into town every few months. The food is good quality and the service is always great. We were celebrating a birthday and they did a fantastic job with limited staffing even though the main dining area wasn't open. I was impressed.
