Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. I could tell the manager took my allergy very serious and he walked us through everything and provided a GF menu. I am vegetarian and GF so it’s hard to find options but this place was perfect. Will definitely make the hour drive to come back here again!

I ordered a burger and the gf bun and fries were great. But while eating the gf chicken I ate one of the “crunchies” in the bottom of the box and it was an onion ring. Makes me wonder if they used a dedicated fryer. Diner beware.

This was such a a lovely place! They have a separate gluten free menu, and went they ran out of GF tortilla chips, they found me carrot sticks to use with my spinach and artichoke dip. The staff was well-informed and I had the grilled shrimp and fries, with no reaction!

Had the best experience here!!! Pleasantly surprised by this sports bar. Our waiter was awesome and was willing to play with the gf menu (which was a separate menu) to give me a meal that I was craving. We made the chicken sandwich into a breaded chicken sandwich. May I say that whatever they use as the breading is SO GOOD!!! My oh my. Definitely returning for this burger haha. Fries are fried in a dedicated fryer 👍 Please look for the picture of my burger and appreciate how juicy and stacked it is!!!

Chris and Aaron were an absolute pleasure. We were visiting from Saint Augustine and we’re so happy to find a safe and delicious place to eat. They were so much fun. No issues at all with cross-contamination will definitely be back.
Great restaurant. Ordered the bacon burger on a GF bun with fries from the dedicated GF fryer. Make sure to ask for the GF fryer as I think they have two separate ones. The server was very helpful. Family friendly. I’m also Dairy Free and they were able to accommodate for that as well.

Bacon Cheeseburger on gluten free bun and French fries (dedicated fryer). Awesome and I didn’t get sick. They also made me gluten free potato skins (not on gf menu) that were delicious.

Safe for celiacs! We stopped in here for dinner, based on the reviews on this app, and I wasn't disappointed. Once I informed our lovely server about me having celiac, she provided me with a GF menu with a few yummy options. The best part.... A DEDICATED FRYER! which means... FRENCH FRIES! (yay!) I ordered raw oysters, and the Lighthouse. Both were good. I'd return, if I lived closer.

I got a burger with the GF bun and it was okay I guess just average. I didn’t really like the GF bun it was hard. The GF menu does have a good amount of options. Server was not knowledgeable.

We found McKenna's using FMGF while on vacation. I typically don't like restaurant-sports bars because of the noise, but McKenna's was not noisy. It was very casual and relaxed, appeared to be a favorite among locals, and accommodated large family groups as easily as couples.
The owner took pride in knowing how to prepare GF meals and of having a dedicated GF fryer. He was quite friendly, and our server, Sam, was knowledgeable about the GF diet.
I ordered Conch Chowder, grilled fish (catch-of-the-day), coleslaw, and steamed broccoli with garlic butter. The chowder was so-so, but everything else was very good and apparently quite safe because I had no gluten reaction whatsoever.
I would definitely eat there again.

They have a Gluten Free menu, but it is limited. Overall this place is good and we didn’t get sick, but it’s nothing special. Prices are nice though 👍 They also have a dedicated GF fryer for their French Fries, which very very good.

Gluten free menu, and dedicated fry fryer! I had blackened mahi mahi with with fries and apple sauce. It was so nice to have a “normal” meal out. I’m fairly sensitive to gluten even cross contamination and I felt great after eating here. We visit Daytona often and we will definitely be back 😊

We recently dined here on a Friday night while traveling to Daytona for a college campus visit. As someone who has celiac disease, the staff did not go out of their way to make me feel comfortable with dining at their restaurant.
I had to remind our waiter a couple of times that I needed my meal to be gluten free. I made it a point to let our waiter know I have celiac disease but he made no effort to explain the steps the restaurant takes to prepare the food and keep it safe from cross contamination.
They do have a gluten free menu with a variety of options and also a dedicated fryer so that is a positive.
Dining while traveling is really challenging when you have celiac disease and I feel like eating at McKenna’s Place was a crap shoot.

Great experience = no flare up or cross contamination! Upon seating the owner Chris, sat down with up and went over the GF menu in detail and told us what the kitchen does to guarantee a safe meal. He promised if any suspicion of contamination occurs during cooking they will remake the meal and if any flat ups occur after eating he would trace the meal of how the contamination occurred and offer a refund. Overall great experience, delicious food, and safe environment. Will definitely make this a regular place to eat!

We both have celiac and dined at McKenna’s for the first time yesterday. We were pleasantly surprised with the active owner’s, Chris, and his staff’s knowledge of gluten free preparation and cross contamination. They have a GF menu, a dedicated fryer for French fries, and are more knowledgeable about gluten free than most restaurants. Josh was a great waiter, understood gluten free, was friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is casual, clean, and inviting. We both had grilled snapper… one topped a GF Caesar salad, the other served with GF fries and slaw. The food was delicious. We will be back!!!

Superb service from the minute we walked in. Being Celiac it is so hard to eat out and be sure you’re safe. Host explained all precautions they take while handing me a gluten free menu that had a front and back! Server, kitchen staff, even runner were all made aware before we ordered our food. Jessica was an excellent and attentive waitress. Would’ve left a review on the awesome service even if their cross contamination precautions weren’t amazing. 4 hours later and I’m feeling great. Will definitely return.

My son has celiac and we were struggling to find a place that would be safe for him and have food that my husband would like. After seeing the great reviews, we decided to give McKenna’s a try. We ended up with delicious meals for everyone both GF and non-GF. The service was outstanding, and everyone was able to describe all the precautions they take to prevent Cross Contamination. The owner even came by to check and talk to us. We will be back the next time we are in town!

Separate GF menu and manager came to our table to describe ingredients in the menu item I ordered to make sure I was ok with everything. They have a dedicated GF fryer and prep area. I had the Gridiron Steak and Potatoes and it was great! I got the cheese sauce on the side because it’s a lot. I also wanted to enjoy some plain fries since I don’t run across dedicated fryers very often.

Excellent food and very knowledge about celiac needs. Was asked if Celiac or choice when asking for menu. Owner reassured me that process for cooking gluten free food was verified at every step and felt very confident eating here. The food was well cooked and flavorful. The French fries are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

After we got our drinks, we waited for 40 minutes to get our order taken, so everyone else was annoyed, but my main concern is always how well-equipped they are to handle someone with very sensitive celiac disease, so I didn't care as long as they didn't gluten me. They were great in that aspect; my server reassured me several times that everything would be safe and the manager came out to talk to me without me even asking. He told me that I never should have a problem, but if I do, to contact him through Facebook directly. I got a burger with a gluten free bun AND fries from the gluten free fryer. It was so good, and I haven't had any gluten reactions at all!

From the moment we walked in and met Sue at the hosts stand, she didn’t hesitate when I said gluten allergy. She showed me a GF menu and let me know of the dedicated fryer and the many they have served with celiac. With that response I felt confident about eating there! I was Very impressed with the knowledge of GF/Celiac awareness from the owner/server/kitchen manager. All of the food was very good!! ...They have GF bread!! I would eat there again for sure!!

Dedicated fryer and a gluten-free menu! Our server was more than happy to answer all questions and was super helpful and friendly. They don’t have a ton of vegetarian options but I was so happy be able to eat French fries. So tasty! Great neighborhood feel and a great place to watch sports.

Wow! Outstanding service by Josh! Food was awesome especially the brussel sprouts and ribs. All gluten free! Awesome!

Had their bacon cheddar burger with gf bread. I had to eliminate the bread because it had sesame seeds which I cannot have, the bread looked good and my daughter said it was good as she took a bite of it. The burger patty looked as was the frozen kind but they did have a designated gf fryer just for fries and those were good. I did not get sick but That burger will not be bringing me back any time soon.
I have Celiac and so I don’t get to eat out much or enjoy it because I’m always afraid of getting sick. Last night I tried the Grid Iron platter from McKenna’s with a blue cheese butter fries!! All gluten free, dedicated fryer and the best prices around!! I can’t wait to go back and try something on their large GF menu. Awesome

Knowledgeable staff, dedicated fryer, good food! Gluten free entrees were brought out separately and manger checked in on us.

Tried this place last night! Glad I did too! I got blackened shrimp and french fries. They have a dedicated fryer and the servers are knowledgeable about CC and properly marking the meal. I also got a cup of the Conch Chowder, I was expecting it to be white like clam chowder but th was tomato based. It was FANTASTIC!
Yes
100% comfortable eating here after our waitress Trinity went through the GF menu, talked about how they have a lot of cealic customers and will cook in dedicated places, dedicated French fryer, they will change gloves. Excellent meal, great prices and very popular with the locals. If we were local this would be our new go to!
