My husband and I came in for a late dinner from out of town. There were only 3 other tables seated and already eating. We ordered pulled pork nachos and a cheeseburger with fries. We waited almost 30 minutes for our food, and when it came, the guacamole on the nachos was brown from sitting in the window, there was no sour cream or salsa, and the very small amount of pulled pork was jerky dry. Despite having an issue, calling our server over to witness, and requesting a change on our ticket, we did not receive a visit from a manager. The bartender was also incredibly loud, shouting profanities to the other staff about closing their tickets so she could get out of there. Overall was unimpressed in all aspects and will not return.

Had a pleasant dinner here. It is pretty casual and well kept. Some staff seemed distracted despite being not very busy, but our waitress was very nice. It did take about 30 min for the food to come out but the waitress said she had asked the cook to redo one of our dishes as it was not up to par. Whether this was the case or they forgot, I don't know! But we were not in any hurry and the long dinner was actually very nice for us. Their pizzas are killer and their sandwiches are very good as well.

We had dinner at this restaurant and we loved it ! The food was all very good and we didn’t have too long of a wait. Staff was friendly. The only negative I have is that they have 2 menus but we were given just one to order from- the other was in a book of desserts/ alcoholic drinks and we just happened to see it after ordering, and there were things that we would have ordered had we seen it. Not sure the reason for 2 separate menus ??Bathroom was also not very clean. Other than this, the interior aesthetics, taste of the food, and price were all great ! We would come back !

Very cool, chill vibe type restaurant with some great food, plenty of parking and friendly service. Good beer selection. Their nachos, pizza and spicy chicken sandwich were all great. Salad is portioned well and good sauce varieties. They have a patio with firepits and garage doors that open up when the weather is nice. Good dim lighting creates a very cool atmosphere. Will def go back.

The good: Excellent food. Friendly staff. Decent prices. Holiday specials.The bad: each of the three times I've been there, they were out of something. The stall in the men's room is broken (and has been at all three of my visits), but can still close and lock.The ugly: nothing, really.Overall, all my experiences have been almost entirely pleasant. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would.

This is a place for excellent food but not for talking. Grandson had the pepperoni pizza. I had the beet salad and pear and bleu cheese Flatbread. All were delicious. If you like gourmet pizza and salads this is your place.

1st time coming to Mackenzie River last night the food was good the service was great but there was a slight issue with one of the staff members she was the bartender i believe and we were seated at a hightop and all we heard the whole meal was her complaining and just being miserable… kind of messed up the atmosphere maybe she should consider doing something else. Overall service and food were great.

Friendly and very helpful staff!

Had no idea about this place, just so happened to drive by and it looked cool. So glad we ended up going. They have cups of goldfish to the kids to snack on, which is a great idea. The food was really good. Loved the feel inside. All around it was a great place to get dinner, we will be back when we are back in town.

In town on business and was looking for a dinner spot. Everywhere around here was packed except this restaurant. I don't k own why it wasn't as busy because the food was amazing. Friendly staff and amazing burgers.
