HOW does this place have 4 stars in reviews??? This place was more than disappointing! I am in town for work and looked on Yelp for some good places to eat so I chose MacKenzies. First, I walk in and the host was not welcoming at all and then I ordered spinach dip, it was unflavorful and way too cheesy. Next I ordered buffalo Mac n cheese and a meatball sub. The Mac n Cheese was like eating soup with a generic type of orange cheese. Pretty upsetting on this dish. My meatball sub barely had any sauce and they put a piece of ham and a slice of cheese on top of the meatball which I had to remove because the ham was not a good combo. At the end of it all, I didn't eat the spinach dip because it was disgusting and even told the waiter that it was not good and couldn't eat it all. He brought out the bill and they still charged me for the dip. I hope this review helps some people because I hope you don't have to experience this service and food. DO NOT waste your money here!! read more

Would definitely recommend ordering the pizzas! Pizza was very good along with the salad. Very cool atmosphere with an outdoorsy feel. Hunter was our sever and she was great. I would eat here all the time if I lived here!! read more

MacKenzie River is one of our favorite places in Great Falls. We love the atmosphere and the food is always excellent. Our family's favorite pizzas include the MacKenzie River, Flathead, Athenian, Sequoia, Stockman, Madison, and Rancher; although the lasagna is my husband's default meal. We love sitting outside overlooking the river when the weather is good and have always enjoyed great service and a friendly wait staff. read more

Their pizza with the same name as the restaurant is a really good start in their pizza menu. Their Athenian pizza is my favorite. If I wanted a certain meat topping or extras they will make it happen. You will get very good pizza here and they serve on the gourmet thin pizza crust which I prefer. The Thai salad is also good if you like a little tropical to your salad. The drinks such as their rootbeer is good. However, I don't like the fact that it is made with high fructose cornsyrup. Little things like that should not discourage the overall experience there. The place itself, the location in Great Falls, MT offers an open and pleasant eating environment. The service at times can be a hit or miss but the waitresses there are cute enough to warrant a decent tip. I recommend this franchise location if you ever have the unfortunate pleasure of passing through Great Falls, Montana. read more

Mackenzie River Pizza is a good place you can rely on to supply you with better than average dinner any night of the week. I find there pizza comes out a little under done in my opinion, so i always get thin crust well done. they do not have a brick oven, it is conveyor belt pizza, but the toppings are good quality and its still tasty. they do not have a full bar;'(... but do carry local beers! other than pizza all i have tried are the lodgepoles and pulled pork nachos (apps), and spaghetti w/ meatballs and turkey avacado sandwich (meals). I wouldn't call them the best pizza in town, and they do lack a bar, so they get 4 stars. still not a bad place to hit up for dinner or lunch. read more

Best pizza in town. I have been to other pizza restaurants and McKenzie River is the best with lots of choices on the menu. I will definitely be coming back. read more

So, after I abandon retarded ass Apple maps and actually find the place the old fashioned way, I'm surprised to see they have a wait. Must be some good pizza. So I stand at the hostess stand waiting for someone to show up. While I'm staring in the kitchen trying to see what kind of oven they use, and what type of pies they're cranking out, the hostess shows up at the same time some old man who just arrived walks up to the hostess stand. She starts putting his name on the list instead of mine even though I had been waiting for 5 minutes. Guess she couldn't see all six and a half feet of me? So I wave at her, explain the mistake she's making, and she just keeps doing it anyhow.... So I left. Horrible customer service. read more

First off I don't really like pizza. I know. Right? But anyway the wife felt like pizza so we looked on yelp to see what was in the area. Well we hit the jackpot with this one. The pizza we ordered was the Hot Hawaiian. It was a Bbq pizza with pineapple and jalapeños. It was beyond good with a smokey favor and to too heavy on the heat. The beer I ordered was Mountain man and it was very dark and very good. Not overly bitter like a lot of beers that dark are. Staff was upbeat and a lot of fun. read more

Great pizza--great atmosphere! In the years that I was assigned to Malmstrom AFB, this is the one place that I kept coming back to. The hot Hawaiian, good ol' boy are my personal favorites. The Bridger salad is really, really good with their house dressing! The Great Falls location offers a beautiful view of the river; get a seat closest to the windows or on the deck. read more

Awful service complimented by mediocre food. When every table within view sits down after you and receives their food before you, there's definitely a problem. Just keep driving when you approach this place. read more

I discovered MacKenzie River when I left my native South Georgia and went to live in the great white north. The menu's premise is simple, pizza and beer. Those items are elevated because they are simply the best of both. If you are a fan of dark, flavorful beers then get Mountain Man Strong Ale. Many other sections are available, and the staff is happy to help you decide or offer suggestions. The pizza is the best because of the care that goes into each one, hand made - hand thrown dough, fresh prepared tomato sauce, and just about any topping you could imagine, and in very generous proportions. This place is a can't miss if you are anywhere in the great falls area. Their quality and flavor is what keeps me coming back on my twice - yearly visits to Montana read more

We had six of us for dinner. We ordered a couple of Caesar salads to split. The dressing was good, but iceberg lettuce does not a Caesar salad make. We ordered two large pizzas. It was enough food. The BBQ pork pizza was great. The meat was tender and the sauce flavorful. I really liked this pizza. The others ordered the Flathead. I did not get a chance to try it; the others enjoyed it. We had great service; loved our server. We had a great experience. So will you. Try it. read more

I'm not a huge pizza fan but I love going to MacKenzie River. Its the go-to place for most of our friends when we get together. My favorite choice is the Sequoia. Must try! read more

I seem to find myself here often. Being a vegan in great falls isn't easy but they accommodate me and never give attitude when I question every menu item. It would be five star if I didn't have one terrible experience. One out of the 500 times I've been but it was bad enough that it still crosses my mind when I think of going there. It wasn't even the place or food it was the server. She still works there but luckily I haven't been seated in her section again after that. (Thankfully) read more

The pizza and appetizers were delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was upbeat. The kitchen accidentally forgot to remove some toppings from the pizza we ordered so they brought out the incorrect pizza for us to snack on until they brought out the correct one so essentially we got 2 for 1. They were very apologetic for the mix up. I would def go again. read more

My husband, kids and myself really enjoy this place. Good food and good service! Can't wait until the weather is nice enough to enjoy the patio over looking the river. read more

The server was very nice and professional. The wedge salad was big and fresh. The pizza was disgusting . The dough was very thick, the sauce had no flavor, and there wasn't a lot of toppings. I wouldn't come back . read more

I think they were a bit understaffed or something, There wasnt a host so the waitstaff had to do the sitting but we had artichoke dip was tasty not enough artichoke in there, we had a thai salad small they really skimped on ingredients for a 7.50 salad coulda used more cilantro and more peanut. Pizza was on sourdough and did not rise right was sooooooo dry and flat not enough sauce on it either our waitstaff did not bring us enough water our waiter even admitted hisself that the cooks said "sorry ya the dough didn't rise" geez that was lame. Bottom line am I going back? Probably not I give places one shot if they are not good the first time I usually don't waste my money to go back spent like 45 bucks I think thats enough. read more

There is nothing wrong with the pizza here, but the Yelp reviews suggested it was special. I liked the environment and had friendly (if slow) service. But the pizza was just OK - nothing compared to what I might get back at home. Maybe there just aren't that many options in Montana? read more

Sure, I've had better pizza, but I've had much much worse too. I got the Sequoia pizza, and I have to admit I was pretty impressed by it. The pine nuts were a nice touch and I really like the artichokes on it. It was even pretty good in the morning as room temperature leftovers! read more

Though we came in at 9:30 on Sunday night at the end of a rush, we were greeted enthusiastically & seated quickly. Our servers were friendly and helpful, as this was our first visit to this pizza shop, and we had questions about menu items. Our server, Crystal, was great! Quick and eager to serve! Pizza was tops. Decor was unusually interesting and atmosphere promoted fun for the family. read more

I love eating at MR! The Good 'Ol Boy & The Clubhouse are the absolute best! Ate here the other night and our waiter Kyle Was awesome! Great Place Great Atmosphere read more

Alright pizza, decent prices, slow service.

There was nothing horrid about this place. I know it is a chain, we had been before to a different one in Great Falls. The service was great, the atmosphere was fine, but the food....we ordered a grilled chicken pesto type panini, and a flat bread pizza. The flavors were so mixed up with too many ingredients and flavors to be able to distinguish any one good flavor. Too complicated folks. Keep it simple. I can't even tell you what the main flavor was, because it was just too many mixed in. So, neither of us could finish our meals (we are big eaters) and we both went away disappointed. Next time I'll know. Nothing fancy, just order the simplest of options. read more

Best nachos I've ever had in my life. Whenever I feel down, I just go get the nachos. Also, the pizzas have a great variety and taste! I brought my grandparents here and they loved it! read more

This place has a great atmosphere, a nice big outdoor patio overlooking the park and river, one of the best pizza options in town, great beer and wine selection, and delicious food all around! I've gone there quite a bit and have yet to have a bad experience or meal. read more

Stopped at this location during a family vacation and what seemed like driving for 10 hrs! The kids wanted pizza and my wife and I wanted something else, we were sitting within 15 minutes and met by our waiter who got our drink order and appetizer. The kids ordered pizza and pasta, my wife and I ordered sandwiches, everything was terrific, the food the bread for the sandwiches!! Everything. This was the highlight on a very long and Trying day!! read more

The place was amazing , great pizza , lots of vegetarian options. Try the huckade .. huckleberry lemonade amazing . Do not miss. Great service. Will absolutely recommend this place. read more

Easily one of my favorite places to eat in Great Falls! I make a point to go here at least every other week... I'm working my way through the whole menu! The waiters are all wonderful and I have yet to try anything that doesn't taste amazing! read more

I have only had delivery but really want to go there to eat if I come back to Great Falls. The people that take the phone orders are always very friendly, helpful and have great knowledge of their product. The delivery staff has been fast and friendly, actually probably the best delivery staff I have ever seen. The pizza is good, not great, but a solid good. The do have a lot of different pizzas and most look really good but I am a little plain and always get the Good Ol' Boy (pepperoni). The chopped salad is great and they are not shy with the ingredients. The only thing I have had but not licked so far was the buffalo wings. The flavor was good but they were way too soggy. I have had a few other pizza places in Great Falls, Godfather Pizza, Howards (the worst) and Papa Johns but MacKenzie's was the best of them. read more

Got to town on a Sunday evening and it was one of only about 3 places that was open for dinner. I'm glad I chose MRPC. I had the BBQ on original crust and it was very good. The house salad is a little different with the grapenuts on it, but it was still very good. I will come here again next time I'm in town. read more

We were in Great Falls for a couple of days and read the reviews and decided this was the restaurant we really wanted to go to..We were really hungry after a long day of hiking, etc.. and looking forward. we called the restaurant when google maps took us to the wrong location. We were only a few mins away and asked if the 2 of us could be seated right away. The girl on the phone confirmed that they were not busy and 2 could be seated right away. We pull up less than 4-5 minutes later and there are people waiting outside/inside and the wait time was 25-30 minutes. Super disappointed and pissed, we left and went to Fuddruckers instead.... I wish I had the chance to leave a review regarding the food as well, but I did not appreciate the girl on the phone telling us one thing when the truth about the wait time was another... Fuddruckers wasnt what we were looking for but at least we were able to site right away and eat. My point is- be honest with people about wait times.. we could have made a decision based on that and not been disappointed. read more

We have come here several times because the food is pretty good. I especially love the meatball sandwich. Tonight we tried the hummus appetizer, also very good. But sooooooo slooooooow! 5 minutes for drinks, 15-20 for our hummus plate?!? It's not even cooked! Maybe they were busier than they looked... read more

Sat for a while and no one even took drink order so we left. Too bad. Food is generally good but the service is inconsistent.

We never got a chance to try the food, this is a review on "service". Our order taker was trevor who said "I'll be right there" 10 times before he actually stopped. He came and wrote down our order and left. He passed us 4 times empty handed telling us our order was in and won't be too long.......still never receiving our drinks. On the FIFTH time of being told the order was in I asked about the drinks and he said "oh, I'll go pour them now".......when finally returning with our drinks he turned to leave without offering straws or sugar for the ice tea. I begged for both straws and sugar.......he gave us straws out of his pouch and walked away. A few minutes later we had the sugar container THROWN at our table. The two tables across from us jumped just as high as we did when it slammed on the table. At this point we got up and left.....it was 97° outside and it was very busy in the restaurant, still no excuse for the complete lack of service. This was the first for me having the order taker throw something at my table and believe me, we've eaten in some bad places in Bozeman. I've never heard anything good about the food at any of your locations so we wanted to give you a try.... what a joke! If you are staying at the beautiful LaQuinta DON'T walk here, get in your car and drive away for a decent meal!! read more

Great setting good food beyond pizza. We had hot wing Mac and cheese, Amazing!!! Our server was Neil he loves his job and shows it.

This is the best restaurant I ate at in Great Falls. The pizza was excellent and really surprised me with its wide and creative selection. It is a nice casual setting, well visited, and when you are lucky you can enjoy a nice outside seating area with a look at the river. The perfect place to enjoy a nice beer and pizza. read more

A little pricy for pizza but overall it was good. My wife and daughter loved the gluten free crust and said it was one of the best they've had. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

Good food. Long wait for having empty Tabes. Good service and clean. Will go back. Just my opinion from one visit. read more

Great place on the river! Wonderful for kids and families. The kids meals are great and small children can easily share. They are very accommodating with requests. The food is excellent. We loved their pizza and wings. The wings are breaded and huge! We love the Mack lovin' dessert....heavenly! Next time we would choose a table in the patio, for the lovely view! read more
