We went for their Thanksgiving buffet - which was absolutely excellent! Every morsel perfectly done! Plenty of fabulous choices for both dinner and dessert. Staff was very attentive and professional...was great teamwork start to finish. Would recommend anytime. Price was average for a nicer restaurant right on the water.

Thanksgiving buffet. The food was just ok. Lots of it and there was never a line. Servers did not come over often enough for drinks. I had to flag them down and we were forced a 20% gratuity for not the best service. Overall it was just ok and overpriced. It cost 300 for 4 people and we didn’t have drinks. Cappuccinos at the end were not included and cost an extra 32. We will not go back for Thanksgiving. However we love this restaurant on a regular day with the regular menu.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day buffet at McLoons Pier House ! The food was absolutely delicious. The plentiful spread of delicious offerings was very impressive. Our favorites were candied yams , crab cakes, pasta station, Caesar salad ( the dressing was stupendous)and the Mac and cheese was off the charts. The stuffing was very good along with the turkey and roast beef carving station. The desserts were AMAZING! The VEIW was beyond gorgeous ... if my adult daughters didn't have an argument during our dinner it would have been almost a perfect experience. Oh well , ya can't have everything 🤷🏻‍♀️😁

Went there on Veterans Day for free entree. Was pleasantly surprised that ALL entrees were free for vets and not a limited menu. Got a filet mignon cooked to perfection. Normally $48…excellent service… Thanks Tim Mcloones. 👍

The Sunday Buffet Brunch was spectacular. They had every variety of foods you could have asked for, and presented beautifully. The view from the second floor was spectacular! Service was outstanding.
