McKenzie Brew House

(Outside McKenzie Brew House)

I have never heard of McKenzie Brew House until I saw it pop up in Devon.  I wanted to check it out because it looked like a fun place to try. When I first walked into the place I was surprised how big and open it was. They have a separation of rooms from the bar to the dining room. I was shocked they have an open kitchen that you can see into from the dining room.  The place is so clean and bright inside and the service matched it. I haven’t had that kind of great service for a while. The server was on top of things with refills of drinks, checking on us constantly, and always predicting what was going to come next.

I love potato skins and it is one of my favorite foods to eat. On the menu under appetizers they had retro potato skins. They had Penobscot bay potato skins, Cabot cheddar, bacon, sour cream, and chives. Penobscot bay potatoes are not the regular potatoes you would find at a grocery store. They are a full round ball. They are shaped like a cup when cut in half.  The Cabot cheddar is a white cheddar cheese and is a sweet and tangy cheese.  Each potato skin is loaded with crispy bacon. These are the best potato skins I have ever had. I ordered the Key West Salad with Spicy Tuna for my entrée. I liked the salad it was loaded with flavor. It was fresh greens with fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, mango salsa, mandarin oranges, candied walnuts and with honey lime dressing. The honey lime dressing was tangy and sweet. The dressing was served on the side which I like because you can add as much dressing as you want. The spicy tuna served on top is cooked to your choice of wellness. I asked for medium rare. The tuna is spicy and it just melted in my mouth.  The person I was with ordered the Marguerita pizza and everything on top of it was good. The crust is not sensational. It’s just too doughy of a crust for any pizza. The crust of the pizza has no flavor either. It was a little disappointing for a pizza.
