Editorial Review for McMenamins Kennedy School – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Chalkboards and cloakrooms still are in place at this popular spot, as are child-level water fountains. The former auditorium houses a 300-seat movie theater where you can sip McMenamins beer and munch popcorn. Take your pick of bars. Detention Bar offers cigars, single malts and jazz. Honors Bar features juice cocktails and classical music. Cypress Room has outdoor seating while the restaurant overlooking a courtyard serves pub fare including blackened chicken breast sandwich and Portobello mushroom ravioli.

I have eaten at the restaurant a few times and it is just ok, but I really love watching movies here! Couches+beer+good movie = fun

User pancakesthebunny's review is exactly spot on. I usually like to go into more detail but I'm not sure I could do a better job. In summary, the food is miserable. Our breakfast was barely warm at best and quite terrible. The coffee took forever to arrive and sat empty for quite some time once it was poured. Please tell me how you can screw up breakfast? Is there an easier meal to make than scrambled eggs and sausage? It seems to me McMenamin's is resting on their reputation and letting complacency take the lead. Very cool building and theme but huge disappointment in the restaurant.
Pros: Neat building, tasteful restoration, cool amenities
Cons: deplorable food, lacking service
