241 McKellar St S, Thunder Bay, ON P7E 1H6, Canada
I've been coming here for years, the coney sauce is undeniably unmatched. I could sit here and eat cheeseburgers all day and still crave them. I live out in Alberta but as soon as I'm in town I come and see Maria and pig out on the burgers lol. The staff is amazing, so friendly. I love the fact that the menu and the recipes remain unchanged for decades. Love coming here! I always will return here
The staff is friendly and efficient. The place well maintained and the food is delicious.
Truly the best lunch in thunder bay. We a massive quantity of burgers here in July and it was excellent
McKellar's is a MUST even if you are popping into Thunder Bay or driving through. This little hole in the wall has been around forever! The ladies are so nice and the food is amazing!!
My husband grew up in Thunder Bay and insists we visit this place everything we come from Edmonton..we duplicate the sauce..but haven't come close..so good..highly recommended 👌
For such an old relic they have their product, system and service down to a science. I can’t believe how much food they get out with as little equipment as they have. Super nice people and great service. If you’re looking for value, old school burgers and dogs, this is the place. Bravo!
Always worth a stop ..... Always get the same thing (hamburger with sauce and onions) 😋
I had to try this burger when a local friend recommended the place and was pleasantly surprised! I had no idea what coney sauce was, and I don't think we have it anywhere back in Winnipeg, but it was delicious and also reasonably priced! Whenever I come through Thunder Bay in the future I will be making sure to drop in again.
Best value in thunder bay
Great food always go there every time I get back to thunder Bay Dietary restrictions: They wash their hands after handling cheese if you tell them Kid-friendliness: Very friendly
Great food, great service! Loved it.
Always my first and last stop when I m in town.
Very good place. The lady is very nice. Delicious fried fries and milkshake. Great.
The best coney burgers and service.
Always a go to for some good coney dogs.
Awesome! Great burgers. Walking in the aroma made me feel 18 again, and that was a long time ago. Thanks Mckellar Confectionery. Great job. Food
We grew up eating mckellar hotdogs so its nostalgic and they havent changed the recipe which is awesome because even though its kind of out of the way (were in the country) its worth the drive and having lunch in the booth with my family is totally worth it
Why are you wasting time reading reviews for this place instead of putting in an order?
I love that McKellar has started the same. Same great burgers and dogs and shakes. Same great service. And same friendly and inviting atmosphere. Its a favorite lunch spot when I am out with my mother.
Food is great. Service is much better now that the mean old lady doesnt work there anymore.
Good ole diner atmosphere
Great experience at McKinley confectionary.Friendly people.Great service.Nice atmosphere and Ill tell you what the great best old-fashioned.Hot dogs you can get in thunday bay. Parking: Theres about 6 spots for parking, but most people come there and grab and go. So its not too bad to find a spot. 9 times out of 10, youll have a spot.
This is BY Far the best Coney in town. it has a spice/flavor to it that isnt over powerfully yelling onion. Also they seem to be using a 5 star bun that doesnt get hard after they cool down from the steaming. Fries are great hot. Highly recommended stop in. Dont bother with the parking lot though always hard to get in and out of. Just park on McKellar St.
All good all the time
This place is the best.we go there everything we are home in thunderbay
Ive been coming here for 60 yrs. Every time Im back in town I stop in. Same place, same smell, same family and same burger. So glad it hasn t changed. Love it!
Hot dog with everything on it Yum Food
Parking: New
Best coney dog in town hands down! George and his staff are fantastic always a great experience always fresh food and iconic taste with over 50 years of service this small and comfy restaurant is a Thunder Bay classic ! Coney cheese dogs are my personal favourite with a milkshake to wash it down.
This is the only Coney sauce that matters in this town, hands down. A favourite lunch stop during the week.
Coney dog. What else is there. Been going to this place for over 35 yrs. Not much on the menu but what they have they have perfected it.
This is a Thunder Bay institution and must be experienced. It is nothing fancy but the history and nostalgia. It was great fun to visit on a trip back.
Always a great place to stop for a dog or burger. An excellent family run business and staple in Thunder Bay Cuisine focusing on the best Coney Sauce in the history of the world! Deeeeeeeeeelicious!
Delicious. Setup like a very cool old fashioned diner. The staff is amazing. Best coney dogs in town. I ve been going back here for over 25 years.
Love going here for the slider burgers unfortuantely their ATM is down and they only accept cash
BEST coney sauce in town, and amazing prices. Definitely recommend
I went there as a kid for years. I still wish I lived closer I would go more often. My family and I do go when we visit relatives in Thunder Bay. When we come back to Alberta we bring back 3 dozen burgers and 36 Persians always and if relatives do go for a visit they bring us back home the same. We will never forget about our favorite food places. We also liked Mama alfas for the extra large pizzas which in Alberta is unheard of. Their extra large is a joke.
The best Coney dogs and burgers
Best coney dogs around
Been the place to be since my childhood Parking: Needs more parking Food : 5/5 |
Best Coney Dogs And Burgers
Incredible Coney dogs
I love eating here. But its died down in the last while the service. I went in there ordered food two name knowned people walked in and got an order first gave what i ordered an prepared for me to them asap. Then 10 minutes later had the audacity to ask me if i still wanted fries. AND update your hours I was there this morning at 1030 and it was closed. i seen a guy sitting there laughing.
Love this spot for lunch! Their fries are my favourite!
This place Was highly recommended as a Thunder Bay staple place to go , however when we went yesterday for the first time , the hype is far from reality. Zero taste , coney sauce was bland bland bland. Coffee tasted like water and they had to make a fresh pot just for us.
Must go please for hamburgers and hot dogs! Very friendly team and great food!
Ordered lunch here today, decent prices for a cheeseburger and fresh french fries. Will come back for lunch again :)
Very good burgers and,reasonable price
Really nice owners and a great place to support local They also let me buy some ice cream for my dog even though it wasnt on the menue 10/10
Amazing place to come if you want to shout your order for an overpriced tiny hamburger from behind a giant plexiglass shield.
I always stop in for burghers there when Im in town.
15 years and never miss the mark. Always hot and fresh and made to order. Fast food doesn t have to be bad food and McKellar always delivers.
Fantastic as always, and great to be able to dine in again
Good food, seating available. Staff is awesome
Respect for this lovely place. People work here are so kind and the food is delicious!! Great place to get food, I recommend.
Coney burger is a must try
Been going here as long as I can remember and it never disappoints. My favourite local coney spot.
This is a Thunder Bay hangout that has been popular with the locals back to the 1940s. A great hot dog or hamburger.
Went to HS @ FWCI in the early to mid nineties.... This place was a lunchtime staple and all these years later it never disappoints.. this is the only place i go for Coney in TBay... Its perfection
McKellar Confectionary is apparently a Thunder Bay staple. Ive never been - so I had to try this as soon as I found out about it. 2x Coney Island style hot dogs, onion rings and a pop. D-lishus.
Always loved the Cony dogs but something has changed recently and they are not as good as before. We will try a few more times to see if they improve...but still it is a great place
Great service. I have been going there since my childhood.
Still the same like going home even though the son runs it now nice to see it still going
I dont find this place to be clean, using a dishcloth handling cash and food at the same time. Gross, why do they only accept CASH? no debit no cc. Zero flavor, soggy fries. I dont understand how this place makes money. well lol CASH ONLY
Basic hot dog. Basic fries. Basic burger Im sure its been a long time gem in this city. Just didnt make my taste buds get excited.
Love the Comey dogs and burgers!! The staff always makes your day better, always smiling and happy!
Excellent hot dogs.
Always great.
McKellar is a local legend serving Thunder Bays best sliders. Its a simple menu, cause theyve got it right! Grab 2 dogs and cheeseburger and enjoy!
This place is nostalgic. I walked here at lunch daily in high-school. The food & service are awesome The have debit now too!
Have lived in Tbay for a year now but this is my first time trying a Coney and was surprised with how much I liked it. Also ordered their onion rings and how they cooked it resulted in one of the best ones I ve had here. So crunchy. I loved it.
Fantastic.
Must stop in Thunder Bay for Coney dogs.
Ive been going there for over 50 years. I dont live in Thunder Bay anymore but it is a must everything I visit. Best burgers ever.
A thunder bay staple, whenever Im in thunder bay this is a must visit. Just as iconic as the thunder bay Persian. Great service and are treated like a long time friend whenever you stop in.
Always love coming here. Great service and food.
Old school local food beloved by many locals. Not 100% my food but I still enjoy it everytime. Its Thunder Bay history. Soft bun hot dogs and burgers. If your here in Tbay must try.
Such a classic!
Amazing food and friendly fast service. The Coney sauce here blows Coney Island out of the water.
Always amazing, a true Thunder Bay classic.
Great food
The only thing worth having here is their coney sauce. A hot dog is a hot dog, their burgers are lack lustre, and don t even get me started on their store bought, from a bag cavendish is better then French fries. Buy a thing of their coney sauce and make your own burgers and dogs. It s over priced and under delivers.
Good sliders. Tasty. Reasonable prices. Great milkshakes.
best Milk shakes, must try banana choco milkshakes, super friendly atmosphere
I ve been going to this place since before I was born; and have taken my kids there since before they were born too. It has the GREATEST coney sauce I have ever tasted in the world - be it on the dogs or the cheeseburgers, there has never been a better sauce. It s a family establishment, with kind service. Same great taste, found nowhere else in the world! Try to get a double, double two fully loaded dogs and two fully loaded cheeseburgers.
Great service, delicious food, a true Thinder Bay Classic
Simple and tasty
Not the same as it once was. You used to be able to get a quick and affordable Coney burger or hotdog, now it is quite a bit more expensive. The quality of the food is good, and the staff is always quick.
Went there for the first time and it was delicious! My grandpa always talked about Mckellar Confection and how it was one of his top choices for coney sauce. I have to say, absolutely delicious little gems. We got two coney burgers and some fries. Everything tasted so fresh and fair prices. Much rather spend my money here then at some burger chain.
Food is still great 35 years later.
So so so so so so good! Burger that melts in your mouth and the best Coney sause!
I have to get it every time I come home to visit.
Best Coney in thunder Bay
The staff is always super friendly and the food never disappoints. I make a point of going there whenever Im in town.
Best tasting coney sauce in the world
Staff always nice to me and burgers are delicious!
Best Coney burgers!
Awsome coney burgers. My son baught me lunch
Best coney dogs in Thunder Bay. Miss the old man. Arm burgers just dont taste the same ; ) Lol!
Best coney!!!
Had four hotdogs with everything on it, so delicious, with a bottle of snapple. It felt nice to go back and enjoy that little place.
Good old time in a good old hangout. At the request of my grandson.
Food is a bit small
Awesome food
Great food
That sweaty Westfort dive has nothing on McKellar. Best burgers and dogs in town!
Awesome food and staff.
Love the burgers and fries
Burgers, hotdogs and now fries but the coney sauce has way too much bread crumb in it now and is very watered down. I used to love the coney sauce
The burgers and hotdogs are beyond delicious
Classic cony burgers. Like a step into the past.
Always great food, and terrific service.
Excellent Coney dogs and burgers. I am a frequent visitor
Kudos to George for keeping the family business going, best burgers & dogs in the city
Im biased. I love their food
Love the hot dogs there ate them as a kid still eat them at 31! Very friendly staff even gave me a hot dog on them when I had my son, I recommend this place to everybody
Amazing food
Best Coney bugers in the world!
A local favourite.
Fairly quick ànd Ive had còffee and their calm cool and collected
I am almost 70 years old. I have had an innumerable amount of Coney Hamburgers throughout my life. As of late, I find the Coney sauce is absolutely the best . I don t know what made the difference, but please don t change it!
I love the feel of this place. Its like your grandmas kitchen. My bf had grown up here, but it was my first time visiting Thunder bay. I can see why this a staple when you visit. The food was pure home cooked comfort food goodness. Price was good to boot. Check the hours of operation before going because the first time we went they were closed, but it was worth a second trip.
Go to spot for lunch for over 25 years.
Legendary.
Always a treat
Customer service is lacking, and food was not the greatest only a few items to choose from and evey thing is pre cooked and not fresh just sitting in a bucket and re heated
Best burgers and dogs in town. Milkshakes like the olden days.
Good food and friendly staff.
Every single person my family has been going here since they were a child my dad used to come here after high school during High School and four years me and my sister still make this place apart of our ritual for going out and having lunch love that they finally added fries with gravy and their milkshakes are top-notch everything is still 100% family made I cant wait until my next visit
One of my favourite restaurants. Delicious food! The staff made me feel so very welcomed.
It will take you back to older and more simpler times.. it is a landmark that has not let what is happening around it force it to change.. Great people and great food..
Restaurant needs more space
Excellent home made cony sauce for dogs and burgers. Fast service. Take out. Eat in.
Its always a stop for me when Im in town
Awesome. Nobody beats Georges family recipe!!!!
Best Coney burgers and hotdogs in thunder Bay in my opinion and has been for years.
Loved it!
Best slider dogs and burgers in town.
Great friendly place for a quick bite.
Been coming here with my Dad since I was kid.. Just smelling the Coney Dogs walking up brought me back.. Thank You!!!
Fantastic .The same great taste I remember as a kid over 40 years ago
We love this place ! The owner/staff are very friendly. The food is great.
Delicious !!!
First time ever eating there and the food is amazing staff is great
Great tasting food, freindly staff. Nowhere else in town like it. Hotdogs, burgers and shakes are legendary in Thunder Bay.
This place stands on its own, a great little treat
Great food but not wheelchair accessible
If you havent been here in a while, its time to go back! Still the same great food you remember from 40 years ago.
This place is a staple in town, they make probably the best Coney burgers and the staff are great. It was owned by Gus who passed recently and is now run by his son and family.
Always the same great service over the years
Awesome burgers an milkshakes
Openly discriminates handicapped people in wheelchairs.
Awesome place to eat. Daughter think shes in heaven when we there.
Probably the best coney burgers in town.
