McKinley Plaza

December is the month here. And I like what they offer.
Got some good deals and recommend coming here.

This mall, like many others is not doing great. It used to have a lot of stores and offered a nice variety.

Now there's only a few stores left, the food court is essentially non-existent.

It's basically a long hallway that connects a Best Buy to a Barnes and Noble with a cat adoption center in the middle.

Hair Salon A+. Amazing stylists!
Also till December 24th I believe?
There is a huge craft show every Saturday from 12pm to 4pm (2023)

I didn't ship the mall. Was there to Olive Garden in the area which I guess is part of the mall lot. I take my Dad there at least once a month. He loves their Pasta Fagioli and bread sticks.

Garbage nothing left.in the 90s and early 2000s it was the place to be.not anymore.it a tragedy

Let's all be honest with ourselves here. It's not "quaint" or "cute" or "interesting" and discount the nostalgia of what this used to be. It is just a terrible mostly empty building.

It is now a sad shadow of its past. I really do hope they do something useful for it. Maybe even build a drive-in in the back. Though the stores you go to there that you need to go to or at least still there. This includes JCPenney's Best buy Barnes & Noble and a few other stores that are inside

It’s definitely not what it once was. Tons of empty shops, almost no food areas, and a lot of stores that are around that you can visit outside a mall. It does have some coming soon stuff and a skatepark. If they turn this into a full fledged activity center, it’ll be worth it again for people to come back.

Please stay open! This mall was great growing up in the early 2000s.it's sad with what it has become now.please lower the rent for more stores to come in! The arcade its great, and the small stores that are still there are wonderful! I love the "what's in your attic" store. And the massage chairs are cool!:) Won a ton of tickets at the arcade, and got some pretty neat prizes.: D? ️

Still open.food court has one pizza place that has good pizza.support the original mall and kiss off the galleria mall.too big. Mckinley mall is just the right size.

I just give three stars because there's only a couple stores in this mall and many of the good stores that were here left. It's a really slow mall now and there's nothing in the food court. Hopefully some new stores will move in soon.

Best store in the mall is What's In Your Attic. It's like a time machine witb collectables and hobby items. You can even ask for specific things and the staff will help locate it. Great people, but the mall overall doesn't have much else to offer.

You to be a great place to shop but now, it's.ostly empty. To much online shopping nobody goes out anymore, this put a lot of people out of work.

This poor mall is hanging on by a thread, the Big box stores are the only thing keeping it alive, it’s quite sad. If your not from around here and looking for a shopping center this is the saddest mall you’ll ever be in, go to the galleria mall instead.

I went to the craft store Hobby Lobby. The mall is depressing because some stores there went out of business like Sears and Bon Ton. I used to go to the bargain movies there but due to Covid I don't go anymore. Then I would shop in Penney's.

I shopped at Lens Crafters and picked up 2 pairs of prescription eye glasses and another 2 pairs of prescription sun glasses. In and out in under a half hour. New glasses were ready within a week. I also purchased new sneakers at this mall.

There is very little to no need to enter this mall anymore. Best Buy and JCPenney can be accessed externally and those are separate reviews. It’s really more of a strip mall. They would be smart to gut the inside and add entertainment facilities. People don’t want to shop in malls anymore. Indoor parks and recreation could be something in Buffalo year around. This mall needs to be reinvented.

Barely any stores, no place to eat unless you want auntie Ann’s. Mostly all small stores that are independently owned but a few big name stores remain (JCPenney, Best Buy, bath & body works, famous footwear, Barnes and noble, old navy). It’s sad knowing what it was and seeing what it is now however if you have little kids it’s a great place on a rainy day to let out some energy

So sad to see the McKinley Mall so deserted. Be careful driving around as the potholes from the McKinley Road towards JCPenny and Hobby Lobby are very large. Stopped in Hobby Lobby as they are having their "Spring Sale"

Plenty of stores to choose from, plenty of choices for food delicious food great values everywhere. One of my favorite spots just for window shopping and lunch. Highly recommend.

Went to David's bridal. The staff there are amazing! They assist each other with their customers. They are full service, personable, professional, and very, very helpful. I would recommend them to every bride. Especially, Corey

Small but i love how its not packed at all times. Food ourt is still hone. Thats why it lost a star

Excellent food. A varied menu! A very personable staff. Owernership works side by side with the staff, so they are truly
hands on. Always a pleasurable experience! Rosemary Donahue

Went to outback the food was good the staff was friendly and I love it there. My favorite restaurant honestly

Great plaza with great stores. Im always stopping at michaels. While waiting for a table at outback, we were able to walk around TJ Maxx and forgot we were waiting.

Went to Olive Garden for dinner.the menu keeps getting smaller and smaller.the hostesses there don't care about customers in general.just regulars and family members.

I have only been in here a few times and each time is memorable everything is so good the covid protocol is exceptional extreme extremely clean neat well organized and food was exceptional I thought it was a little pricey it was a little pricey after eating I realized that it was true quality

So sad, food court no more, stores empty or closed. I remember the days of going to the mall and you were elbow to elbow in foot traffic this time of the year.

So sad to see the slow withdrawal of businesses and stores. Only perk jc Penny's which is I believe cleaning out invoice cheap probably to also pullout. Best Buy and BB and beyond seem to be holding it down.

Outback restaurant. Food was a good price. Friends' salmon were not fully cooked, but manager made good - gave them a new meal to take home.

Man.this used to be the spot when I was younger. I have no idea why the food court is closed still, they took out the tables and boarded up the restaurants, even removed the signs. The only thing worth going here for is Hot Topic, Spencer's, and a psychic place. Even Victorias Secret closed.it really can't be that hard to revive this mall, it's like they're not even trying. It's so lonely here, only a handful of people.

Parking is a little tight. Otherwise, visiting a store at the location was a breeze. It was moderately busy.

If you're a young teenager ready to spend some money, I heavily urge you to come here. Theres an arcade inside and shopping here is incredibly fun. The smoothies at the Planet Smoothie location are the best I've ever had, but sadly this mall is on the verge of shutting down. I really advise you to give this place some support in hopes of it staying up longer.

Steak was overcooked, bacon was missing from loaded mashed, one steak wasn't marinated like it was suppose to be, and we got bread squished like a pancake at the bottom our to go bag.

Its depressing going to this mall now. Most of the store fronts are closed and empty, there is no place to eat, of the few stores that are still there half of those are hardly ever actually open. Its a shell of what it used to be.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen was the best that I've ever had, even though I live in the south, it's so much better here!

Loved it. Came in after the Bills Game. It was very busy but they were equipped with enough staff. Dinner was excellent. Would go again.

I loved McKinley mall as a teenager.so sad to see it decline so fast. I will miss it when it's gone. I hope the new owners will take very good care of it and repurpose it. Had many great memories there. Good luck to you all.

We were seated right away the server was very friendly the food took forever to come out and it was ice cold. The manager comp the meal I don't know if I'll ever go back it just seemed to be understaffed. It took 45 minutes to an hour and take care of meal

Great place to eat. Usually busy during the hours of 5-7. The bread is to die for and the steaks are delicious.

Omg.just sad! I understand that the retail landscape has been decimated. But.perhaps to save some money let's just NOT water the plants inside the mall? If it has come to allowing the greenery to die, maybe it's time to just shutter the entire property! Incredibly sad and disheartening!

El Canelo is good mexican and TJ Maxx has stuff and then there's like a bunch of other stores. Also Wegmans is next door.

I picked up my internet router and then went down a few stores and got a few items at tj max. The plaza is great and has lots of great stores and restaurants. I will certainly visit again when I have more time.

To many great places to at in one day! Lol There are a lot of great stores and places to eat or get food! Some have great customer service and some are just okay. When customer service is just okay those are the places you try to avoid unless you absolutely have to go there! But still there are mostly great places with great customer service so go ahead and shop and have fun!

This is a great plaza conveniently located across from the McKinley mall. It has great restaurants and stores like the Poppyseed, Outback Steakhouse, Michael's crafts, Popeyes and Wegman's.

It has some basic stuff. It has an Olive Garden, a Savers, a Gamestop and a smaller BestBuy. It's a great place, just don't go inside off the mall. It's really sad in there, it's mostly closed.

It has changed, but they have some pretty great places located in there. I only briefly stopped in the the Grand Opening of Michael's craft store to browse and pick up some model paint with my husband.
