We loved the waterfront setting at Macky’s. You can sit inside, on the deck, or right on the beach in the sand (which we chose), though note happy hour (3-6) is only at the bar and deck. The food was very good – cheese fries were crispy, flavorful, and came out fast, the smash burger was cooked perfectly with a great sauce, and while the chicken sandwich with Brie wasn’t my favorite, it was definitely interesting. Drinks (rum runner and sangria) were refreshing, and our server was extremely friendly and attentive. Even with the windy weather, we had a great experience and really enjoyed our meal.

Great atmosphere and right on the water! The food was good and so were the drinks, but they weren’t great. The fries were not good and tasted almost sweet. They do have good happy hour deals, even on the weekends. The service wasn’t the best, but because the atmosphere is so good, we would probably go back, sit by the water and try something different on the menu.

I went yesterday with my family to celebrate an anniversary and was seated right away with a beautiful view of the water. The waitstaff member Sara provided excellent service & care to our group. You’ll find great balance of a sociable and relaxing atmosphere here depending on where you are seated. Great crab dip and drinks with souvenir buckets to take home too!! ☀️

This is a very cool place to visit. It was the first time, I’ve taken animals with me on vacation. It’s hard to find places who are pet friendly. However, I found this place on Google. They have a pretty cool dog menu. And, it’s just for them with a bucket of water. Of course, I took a picture of the bucket but, not the menu or their food when it came. Wish I did. But, I did get them their first meal at the beach. It was SO much fun. The only down fall was, the table didn’t have an umbrella and we were in the sun but, the girls were in the shade (that’s all that mattered). Also, their food was served in a stainless steel bowl. That was cool! We actually took hard dog food with us and mixed it with the Pug Burger we got them. They LOVED it!!

We had Mackeys to during my Bachelorette weekend a few weeks ago. We went on a Saturday night with 8 people, and were able to get a table with less than a 5 minute wait and no reservation. I had the crab cake and it was very good! Whatever I had to drink was good too, something frozen 🙂 the reason I give it 4 stars is because the food and atmosphere weren’t mind blowing good, and the night we went there was a live band and they were sooo loud we couldn’t even try to talk to anyone at our own table.

Weird vibes here, mainly from the people you will sit next to. For instance, I know we are at the beach, but a dude had his shirt off with his rear end out the whole time eating amongst families at dinner time. Lol Food is ok. Service is ok. The sunsets are fantastic. Priced normally compared to the same style and bayfront view restaurants in OC. P.s. the Cream of Crab has next to zero crab in it.

I came here for dinner with my family of 4 including me. It took a very long time to get our food. The waiters are nice and so is everyone there. No matter where you sit you have a scenic view, its truly gorgeous. Their menu options over the years to continue to decrease tho. The food was definitely good but there were large pepper corns in my pasta which I had to keep picking out because I cant chew them. Otherwise I had a great experience and will definitely be going again for the next years. I recommend you go here for dinner.

We arrived in our boat and had no trouble parking. The food was great. Our party had the smash burger, shrimp, wings French fries, steak and fish tacos. All the food was delicious.

The line was long, but went by quickly. We sat at the bar for about 15 minutes before a table was ready. We were lucky to get a table on the bay with an amazing sunset view!
I really enjoyed my crab cake dinner, and my fiance’s lobster Mac and cheese was AMAZING!

We visited at the beginning of the season and really enjoyed ourselves. The hostess gave us different seating options to fit our needs for the day and the waitresses were really friendly (one was in training, which we were kindly informed of when they arrived). The food options were pretty unique which I love, we got the buffalo shrimp appetizer (delicious! Crunchy and saucy). They made good drinks too! Loved the view of the water and watching other customers’ dogs play down in the beach seating area.
