A solid lunch spot!

Feb 2020 • none

McKenzie River has been a stop for me and my friends when I stopped in town. A good place, usually relatively quiet at lunch time, good food. Fish and chips is my normal order, and the fish here has a spicy breading which is hot enough for me. The fries are very good and their beer selection is good.

Great food. Better service

May 2024 • couples

Had a great dinner and exceptional service. Everyone enjoyed their meals. One person had a gluten free flat bread and really enjoyed it. My wife had the meatloaf and it was great. I will order the meatloaf next time we go Great place for dinner.

Unfortunate experience

Feb 2023 • couples

Abismal service. Seemed to take offense when asked to tweak a drink and it went down from there to outright poor service. Sadly because this was a great atmosphere.

Fabulous Eatery, Fantastic Food & Service!

Jul 2019 • couples

We recently visited family that just relocated here in this area of Spokane. This great restaurant caught our eye and our appetites and we were greatly pleased with our dining experience. They have a great menu. Don’t think of this as a pizza joint. They do have salads, sandwiches, terrific and different appetizers and wonderful soups. I had the MacKenzie Alfredo pasta with chicken and my wife had a Cobb salad. Both were delicious. Our server, Amanda, was phenomenal as a waitress and she is a great asset to this eatery. Great ambiance and we will certainly be back soon! Thanks for being open on July 4th! Located next to Albertsons.

Neighborhood Gem

Jun 2019 • none

Pizza, hamburgers,flatbreads, fabulous salads...a varied and tasty menu. However, the Gem is their bartender, Justin. He makes the best Margarita! We'll go there just for the Margarita. AND they have many TV screens so you can catch up on sports. Warm and friendly service rounds out what makes this a great place. Yes, we have a gem in our neighborhood.

Pizza Just ok but Beer Cold

Jan 2018 • friends

The pizza was eh-eh. We have had better but we have also had worse. When going to a new restaurant you want something to stand out in order to draw you back. The only thing that did was the super cold beer. Oh and the service as adequate. Enjoy!!!

Family Visit with Baby

Mar 2018 • family

We enjoyed the food, atmosphere and excellent service-we were treated well. My wife and I split the Willow Creek sandwich with chips. More than enough food for two. The taco chips were ok, the sandwich super. I also had a good side caesar salad. The other four split pizzas and liked them very much. One had a salad with steak strips and described it as large and very tasty. Bar prepped drinks were very good. Service and attention were excellent. The place is not as noisy as other pizza places we have been to even though it was busy. That was nice as I am tired of noisy restaurants where you cannot even talk to each other.

Worst Caesar salad on the planet.

Nov 2017 • couples

A group of friends went to MacKenzie's for lunch. I ordered a small caesar salad for $7. I wish I would have taken a picture. It was awful. The lettuce was limp and had brown edges. It was swimming in dressing with a pile of oily anchovies on top, and no parmesan cheese and no croutons. Ridiculous!!!!! I will not return and if you want to eat something green and fresh stay away! It basically was about a cup of old limp, dark green lettuce with a 1/4 dressing poured on it and then a few canned anchovies thrown on top in a pathetic pile. $7?!

Hi Jill, I am so sorry to hear about your Caesar Salad. We have been training some new staff in the kitchen and over-dressing our Caesar salads is something we have been working on with them. Croutons and Parmesan are standard, so these must just have been missed. Please always feel free to let your server know something isn't up to your standards. We always want you to have something you enjoy. We are happy to remake your meal - or make you something entirely new. As long as you love it. It also helps us correct staff to ensure that something like this does not happen again. We would love to make this up to you. Our guests are so important to us and we hate letting you down. Please feel free to email us at southhill@mackpie. com, or call our store at 509-315-9466 and talk with any of the management staff. Thanks so much for taking the time to let us know about your experience. Sincerely, Kaci Pratt General Manager

Good pizza for family night out, and a good bar for just the two of you

Feb 2017 • none

We eat here at least once a month. The pizza is very good (the Hot Hawaiian on thin crust is our favorite), and quality is consistent. The atmosphere is family friendly. Friday and Saturday the restaurant is usually filled with young families, so if you are looking for a quiet, intimate dinner try a week night. The bar is where we usually choose to sit, and the bartenders have all been excellent. The beer is perfectly chilled and when you order a dirty dry Martini, that is what you get!

Fantastic food!

Nov 2016 • friends

I have eaten here now 3 times and the food has been fantastic and the service great. Last time we had 8 people, and while it seemed to take a long time to get our food, the drinks were always refilled and the server checked on us many times. I like their selection, they have a lot more than just pizza. Some of our favorites is a pepperoni and sausage pizza, the Ruben pizza and the spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken chili is rather drab, but so many other things are great, so just get something else.

Thanks so much! We pride ourselves in our great food and friendly service. I am glad your group received both the other night. The Spicy Chicken Sammy is one of my favorites as well. See you again soon!

NIX THE CHICKEN CHILI

Sep 2016 • couples

A large bowl of chicken chili is $7.25. My husband has been tasting chili offerings for many moons. This one was inedible because of the seasoning and consistency >>>really bad>>send-it-back bad. My order of fish and chips(13.25) was good and hot; the replacement Grizzly burger (11.00) was good and hot.

Pasta or PIzza

Jul 2016 • couples

Lot of choices of pastas or pizza. I have had most every pasta here and they were all great. Also looks like they have a good selection of beers and wines. They also sponsor (take care of a near by dog park)

Thanks so much for the review. Our pastas are indeed delicious! And we are glad to help out at the dog park. It's my German Shepherd's favorite place in the world. Hope to see you soon!
