McKays in South Ayrshire

Lovely friendly staff, huge beer garden lovely chatty locals

Amazingly crispy fish n chips! Great food and drinks at a great price. Highly recommend! 👌🏻

Great welcoming pub, scrumptious food!

Always a nice place to go and as we had no food I couldn't rate it but in the past it was very good.

Fantastic service, friendly staff, and food USED to be great. Very disappointing, however, that hot food is no longer available.

Quiet pub but none the worse for it. Timothy Taylor's Landlord was well kept. Garden looks as if it would be popular with better weather.

Great Atmosphere, lovely, friendly staff, very clean

Asolute night mare, 0 in every rrspect, what a dump, avoid at all costs

Absolutely a lovely friendly pub we made it our local whilst on holiday excellent service

On a day out with St Patricks picnic group and popped in for a quick drink on a sweltering day. Lovely staff and brilliant beer garden which was appreciated on a hot day, made very welcome by staff. Would recommend this wee gem of a pub.

Nice friendly staff great beer garden dog friendly

Looks great from the outside. Some lovely Art Deco features inside. Potentially great traditional pub - but oh do they need a hoover!

Great pub; better beer garden! Brilliant staff. Would get 5 ⭐ if my dug was allowed inside. 😎

Friendliest staff and great beer garden!

In Troon with friends for the day. Popped into McKays for a couple of drinks before finding somewhere to eat. Returned afterwards. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Prices good. Less expensive than some of my local drinking places in East Kilbride. Would definitely recommend.

The staff are so friendly and it has a lovely atmosphere

Nice place. Large beer garden. Staff very helpful.

If visiting Troon you must visit this pub. Great wee pub, landlord and staff very friendly and welcoming.

A friendly pub, beer at a reasonable price, what more do you need?

Friendly oners and great staff, good beer too. If havented been you are missing out. Best in Troon

Nice pub and great beer garden will definitely be back

Lovely wee friendly hostelry - hosts James, his wife Denise and barstaff are very welcoming and friendly to ALL - like "Cheers" where everybody knows your name - highly recommend !!!

It's a pub. Old fashioned, and quaint. The decor is a bit bright and feels new. I would rather it had been given a more "period" feel. I was hoping to catch Robert Burns in here.

Great wee pub. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Cracken pub landlady & landlord very nice people very welcoming ,go back when we r in Troon again.

Very good pub . James & Denise are very welcoming and the staff are super attentative . Very well run Bar with a great atmosphere for all .

Welcoming staff, clean and tidy bar with good beer. Best and Guinness for us. Popular with locals which was good to see. We were in Troon for the Winterstorm rock weekend festival. Next year will be our 4th time. TROON ROCKS, see you next year McKays. Back again for Winterstorm 2022, no tea or coffee is the only change. Looking forward to more beers there in 2023 - thank you McKays.

Seek out McKays when in Troon, busy at times, success leaves clues, well worth a visit.

Great atmosphere even though we had just popped in for a quick drink waiting on the bus.

Friendly staff. Toilets clean and tidy. Great whisky and excellent service.

Absolute legend of a pub The landlord was very friendly and everyone was inviting. We got to talking with the locals and a very nice old man even bought me a whisky! I have been to many pubs and not many have been a fraction as good as this one. Very good prices and even better people. If I happen to be around here again I will definitely visit again

Really friendly and a nice pint of Jarl

Good old fashioned pub.Friendly staff. Good for the old darts.

Only booked the day before and so glad we did Service from all the staff was 1st class

Took a chance based on google reviews. Worth the chance for defo. Cheerfull friendly pub, the landlord and staff welcome you like old friends no matter if its your first time in or your 100th night on the bounce.. Beer quality is good, 2/4 handpumps on when we visited, plus the usual assortment of gassed beers/lagers. Decent wine selection alongside the beer all at sensible prices. Large beer garden to the rear which seems to catch the sun untill later. Thoroughly recommended, if we're ever back in Troon then we'll be back.

Great pub with a beer garden . Wonderful food and great service too

Best pub in Troon - friendly and attentive services - so good to be back!

Excellent beer garden, friendly staff, food's not too bad either!!

Very good traditional bar with beer garden at the back with plenty of seating. Reasonably priced beer & bar meals available.

Best pub in Troon. Always a welcoming feel. Look forward to when it opens again.

Dealt well with the covid situation. Reasonable priced beer.

We were very impressed with the staff doing there but to keep us safe. Track and trace a must which is great. Loads of space and good beer what more can you ask 👍

Well ran boozer with friendly staff doing all the right things. Contact tracing details and plenty gels to hand.

With John Mclaughlin great place - lovely staff - and a huge beer garden - ideal

Friendly staff, great beer, good food

Warm friendly welcome. Great choice on menu. Large portion of delicious food.

Very welcoming staff and brilliant service throughout the few hours we we were in. Food was ideal for a late lunch and a nice buzz to the place with a warm atmosphere. Super reasonable for our drinks and food and will definitely be back next time we are down for the day.
