The meal was buffet and had fried catfish, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn off the cob, pinto beans and a couple of other items, which I can't recall. They also had a dessert bar with cakes, what I took to be homemade bread pudding, and blackberry cobbler. They also had a fairly good size salad bar.
I know it's my taste buds that we're affected, but I had sodium issues with the chicken fried steak, gravy, and potatoes. The salad bar was nice, but had no cottage cheese available and the salad dressing I prefer (Bleu Cheese) tasted like cheap imitation My spouse had fish and she said her food was overly salty, as well, and the fish was overly cooked and very"rubbery" and difficult to eat. The pinto beans were under cooked and crunchy and the homemade rolls were dry and not tasty.
However, we both agreed that the unsweet tea was very good, not too strong, nor weak. We both liked the bread pudding and I, the berry cobbler. The servers were very caring and ensured our drinks stayed filled at all times.
I have eaten at McKay's for years. But today, my favorite Chicken fried steaks batter was far too salty and the meat tough! The green beans had no seasoning and my consolation was the real mashed potatos and gravy and real yeast rolls! Their saving grace is always their world famous Bread Pudding! I used to give them a 5, but I think they must have had a change of cooks!
They have the best home cooked meal anywhere around. The people are lovely, friendly and very helpful. Always keeping you happy. Love the owner and all the workers very nice and CLEANPlace to eat.
