McKeck's-The Blue Line - Haliburton, Ontario

My wife & I dropped in for a mid afternoon bite and a pint. We asked our waiter to split the special (pickerel & chips) and could we have two plates. The meal was delicious and the portions were very generous given that we split one meal. We both thought they must have been a mistake and they brought us two meals but the bill came and only one meal was on it. A very pleasant experience. The waiter was also very outgoing and friendly.

When you’re in Haliburton ON you must check it out.

I have been to Mckecks several times, snowmobiling, social outings, and had them cater our wedding! They have always satisfied us. Everyone who went to our wedding couldn't stop raving about the food! I am so glad we came up with the best menu/buffet together! Wedding turned out perfectly! 🙏💜 Thank you!
Busy place but they are doing a great job!
It can get a little loud at times.

It's a nice place to have a pint on the patio and maybe don't eat
.
I'm sorry to say it was a poor food experience. Had the jb burger; hard puck of meat for a patty ( tasted like a cheap frozen, preseasoned Costco patty), seasoning inconsistent with the dish (BBQ sauce styled burger), Comes with fried onions on burger... It was like they were dipped in sand before being fried ( inedible) , I think the idea is the jalapeno would also be fried but they were raw... Speaking of raw.. let's add raw onion? ( Even though the burger has fried onions?) But I guess that worked out since the fried onions got scraped off... I couldn't finish the burger
.
Surprisingly the fries were good... Get the poutine
.
My son had the kids nacho ; straightforward dish that I don't know how you can screw up? But literally had more cheese than nachos. Just a gross wad of melted and rehardened cheese that makes the nachos mushy and disgusting.

Incredible dining experience!! My family worked with Chef Aaron Walker to plan a beautiful, intimate dinner party to celebrate my Mom's 60th Birthday. He helped us to choose two entrée options fornour guests, provided us with a private dining room, and the serving staff offered impeccable service. What a memorable evening- thanks so much for everything!!

Dropped in at 3:00PM FRIDAY, and found out appetizers are $12.00!

Portion was definitely a "share", plus a to - go box!

Had the Sawdust IPA, super good, have NEVER seen it anywhere!

I think it might be the second last week for Happy Hour and we won't be back to the cottage until the May 24 weekend, along with all the other cottagers!

Back for another Happy Hour!

Had the nachos again, and two Sawdust 14oz IPA's.

Sat at the bar, food and beer were awesome as usual!

UesBack again for the Blue Jays 2024 opening season quesadilla game versus the Rays this time THURSDAY Happy Hour!

Had the happy hour nachos and Sawdust 14oz IPA.

BACK AGAIN for THURSDAY's Happy Hour to catch round one of the Master's and the Grand Slam of Curling!

Brought a friend, who had the havarti beef dip. She said it was tasty, but the au jus needed a little more umf!

Shared the colossal nacho platter and added the grilled vegetable feta quesadilla.

Also, had a round of Sawdust 14oz IPA!

Not sure what it was about the quesadilla. Normally it's on a corn 🌽 tortilla, and doesn't have so much filling. The salsa topping was tasty, didn't seem to be the same as the salsa that came with the nachos.

I would suggest less filling!

Had three take home boxes, for to tomorrow's lunch!

Back again for Happy Hour! Unfortunately they were all out of IPA.

Had the local Boshkung 118 Cream Ale! Hints of citrus 🍊.

The nacho supreme was outstanding AGAIN!

Nicole B. did a great job taking care of us! Had a
to - go box for tomorrow's lunch?

The door was open to the patio. It crossed our minds!

Back for Happy Hour on opening day of MLB.

Shared the nachos, and as per usual, awesome! Always something to take home.

Sawdust 14oz is always a compliment!

As you can see from the photos, the beer disappeared quickly. The views were an ocean of fall colors. Service was quick and friendly. Happy hour is a cost-effective marvel. I didn't try the food, I'm saving that for a subsequent visit.

It's A. D. T.

Monday 21th of Oct 1pm. Facility wasn't overly busy but with the nice weather and temps it was easy for Forcast attendance would be higher than usual and for one of the only pubs around open on a Monday unlike the neighboring restos, the short staff did ok. Took a few extra minutes to get seating and settled in but understandable for the 3 main crew juggling all the customers.
Food was good, service once sat was great. Freshness was there. overall very pleased with the experience and atmosphere.
3 meals consisted of Rueben on rye, beef burger and halibut fish & chips.
Thank you and be proud of the service provided considering the consequences of a busy establishment.

Lots of good choices; burgers, butter chicken, pizzas; great salads...
