Nice menu with a good variety but not overwhelming. Food was fresh and flavorful - enjoying the lodgepoles. The battered fries are crisp and hot and the spicy chicken sandwich was divine. Good all around with comfort and lots of parking.

The chicken bacon ranch "egg" rolls were good. But my wife's street tacos were not. Her first bite is a huge piece of gristle, and the rest of the meat was dry.
Everyone else in our party seemed to enjoy their burgers. I guess the food can be hit or miss.

We made our first and second trip to McKenzie’s within a week of each other with mixed reviews. I’d rate our first trip a 4 but our second trip a 3. In our first trip, we ordered three salads, a spinach, a Caesar, and a house salad. The spinach salad was well put together but I opted for the house vinaigrette and that was a mistake - it had a bitter taste and did not complement that salad. Ditto on the house salad - lesson learned. The Caesar salad was ok. We had a bbq pizza with a traditional crust and while the toppings were very good, the pizza was slightly undercooked - no crispness at all to the bottom of the crust. I had fish tacos and an order of fries. The fries were excellent but there wasn’t enough fish for the oversized taco shells and the protein got lost between the tortilla and the toppings. The fish and chips were good but the fish lacked salt. We also got a bowl of chicken chili verde and it was delicious.

Our second trip was with a different third party and we ordered wings, dry, with hot buffalo and bourbon bbq sauce on the side, a smokin q thin crust pizza, a taco trio, and southwestern salad with sliced seasoned steak. The wings were cooked well but a bit on the small side and I wondered how the breading would hold up after they were coated with your sauce of choice. The pizza was very good and cooked perfectly. The taco trio came with three different sauces. The chicken sauce was weird so we substituted the hot buffalo sauce I got with my wings and all was well. The shrimp taco fell apart when we picked it up which of course made it awkward to eat - tasty but awkward. The southwestern salad was a total disaster and I was surprised it was served. I had no idea what was on top of the salad so I asked my wife and she said “sliced seasoned steak”. Not what she had pictured. The steak was indeed seasoned but was more chopped than sliced and grossly overcooked. We did what we rarely do and that’s send it back. She got a large bowl of chicken chili instead which was just ok. A real disappointment compared to our previous visit so it makes me wonder if we’ll be back.

I’m guessing their burgers might be nice and their pasta dishes sounded nice but you’ll have to be the judge .

First time visit - Met some friends for lunch and enjoyed the hummus appetizer, flatbread and rod and reel lunch special. What a great deal - lots of food for a great price!

It’s been difficult to find a restaurant that suites my wife’s gluten free needs since she’s been diagnosed with celiac disease. Mackenzie River has a diverse selection of gluten free items and the food was great!

The service initially can be very spotty. But the food is always great. Great burgers and pizza. Bar service is the exception. I always have good bar service throughout the entirety of the meal.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is good.

Our fall favorite tortilla soup was a disappointment this evening. Serving size is significantly smaller and still $7. Shrinkflation.

We order two sandwiches, reuben and the chicken sandwich, both came with fries. The sandwiches were both good but the fries were so bad we asked for fresh ones. The "fresh" ones came out worse than the first ones. They were rubbery and tasted like cardboard. Old Fashioned was good and the waitress did a good job.

We arrived on Friday evening was seated there multiple tables that needed to be cleaned . We ordered our food I had Cobb salad with no avocado I find half of avocado in bottom of my salad which was brown at the top . The waitress came by asked if this was in my salad I told her yes she took it to kitchen. I asked for a root beer was told they only have bottles I told her that would be fine . 30 minutes later she comes back to say they are out root beer. My husband has Steak and was told she would right back with steak knife they we’re being washed , she returned after he ate his meal using a butter knife to cut the meat . We ordered dessert and they were out what we choose . Upon leaving there same 4 tables still not cleared off . This place needs some help will not be back
