    HIDDEN GEM! I have read the reviews and was skeptical of trying this but I just wanted to get a beer and have a good burger with some good company and wow did they deliver, I would say the wait wasn't too bad but coming here at 8pm on a Saturday no more than 10 min did I waifor someone to come and ask if there was anything we needed! Took some suggestions the shrimp was FANTASTIC burgers DELICIOUS and might add fries AMAZING. I think places deserve a second chance and this restaurant is it. Thanks for an amazing food experience.

    I'm staying at the Holiday Inn for Memorial Day weekend on a family visit and we came down for a late lunch after checking in. I was worried about the negative reviews, but we sat at the bar and the service has been PERFECT and the food is tasty. It's nothing fancy, but they have a full bar and a decent casual burger joint menu.

    Good food, great service, and conveniently located as it's connected to the hotel. We would definitely eat here again.

    The menu is overpriced. I've ordered a few times here and most times the burger was burnt.

We followed it with the corned beef soup, which was more like a rich, hearty stew. The tender brisket literally melted in your mouth. And for the potato lovers--this place is heaven! Mashed, home fries, and balsamic fries... we just had to try it all. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't pass up GMA's "Slutty" Peanut Butter Brownie. Warm, topped with ice cream, whipped cream, cookie crumbles, Fruity Pebbles, fresh strawberries, and hot fudge... and yes, we finished it. Now we're officially in a food coma! A huge thank you to our Uber driver--and owner of the Yellowstone Motel--for recommending this unique spot. Between the amazing food and a fun LA born server it made for one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in a long time. Thank you, Ava--we'll definitely be back!

    April 2026 Idaho Falls, Idaho…read more I was surprised to see this place is attached to a hotel when I drove up. Typically I do not eat at restaurants that are attached to a hotel. However, Yelp told me it was a 4.3 star place to eat. I asked if they had any nonalcoholic beers. The waiter brings me a can of beer to show me what it is. When I tell him that I will have it. He says well I'll just take it back and put it in a glass. So they bring me a 16 ounce glass with the beer poured in and it only filled 12 ounces. I ordered the Nacho Mama's Dip. It is a chicken nacho dip. The waiter told me it was a large portion so I am eating that just as my meal. My husband ordered the fish and chips. When you walk in the front door, the bar is right there. Pretty large bar for one to sit and enjoy a drink or a meal. To the right our booths and high tables that line the wall as well as some booths in the middle of the restaurant that make you feel like you are sitting under a gazebo. There are tables and booths on the far wall as well. The tables are cut to appear like a live edge wood top table. The booths sit too low and the table sits high. Even my husband who is 6'2 felt an imbalance with the table to chair. My nachos come out and the cheese sauce is dripping off the side of the dish. It is an absolute mess. The nacho chips are off to the side. The toppings consist of black olives and onions with four pieces of diced tomatoes. Accompanied by a side plastic dish is salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. The guacamole is definitely not homemade. My biggest complaint is the cheese sauce is definitely from a can. The cheese that they did put on the nachos was a slice of cheese that was not even melted. See picture. Reminds me that I am eating in a restaurant attached to a hotel. There are no beans. The chicken is mixed in with the cheese sauce. And it is sparingly there. This dish is absolutely disgusting! The fish and chips were terrible. They're served in a basket with four pieces of fish and they sit upon fresh cut fries. The fish was not good. The batter has a odd taste. Perhaps the oil it is fried in? I think I would've been better off going to Culver's and having their fish platter. Although my beYr was in a can, it was very cold. It was truly the best part of my meal. I am so disappointed that yelp led me to this place. This is my warning to others. Stay away. We had two completely different meals and neither of them were good.

The service was excellent with friendly waiters and waitresses! The menu has something for everyone--creative pizzas like the Rancher and Thai Pie, hearty pastas, fresh salads, and solid pub favorites--so nobody at our table had trouble finding something they loved. Our pizzas came out hot, flavorful, and loaded with toppings, and the appetizers and salads were fresh and generously portioned. They also offer gluten-free crust and "Hold the Gluten" options, which is a huge plus when you're dining with people who have dietary restrictions Service has been consistently friendly and attentive, and the whole place has the feel of a well-run local favorite rather than a generic chain. Their happy hour deals in the afternoon are a great value, with discounts on drinks and appetizers that make it an easy choice for an early dinner or casual hangout. Between the welcoming atmosphere, excellent variety on the menu, and staff who clearly care about their guests, MacKenzie River Pizza has become one of our go-to spots in Idaho Falls, and we'll keep coming back.

Then he never brought my drink until I asked a second time. The food, Lodgepole Breadsticks and French Onion Soup, was ok but nothing special. At least food arrived hot, but not especially tasty. Back to the waiter - he only checked on me after I was nearly done eating. I had to ask for a drink refill. Ultimately, I had to ask for the bill after purposely sitting for an extended time to see if he would bring it. I understand my tip would be smaller than for the groups, but completely ignoring a customer means I'll never go back.

Very flavorful and it didn't need the crackers. My Trout was pretty big! Wish there were more veggies in the plate. The fries were good, but should've got the baked potato instead. I got suckered by the hand cut Idaho potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the elk burger medium rare and they made it perfectly! I personally thought it was a bit too raw in the middle, but he loved it!
