    My hotel coffee and really good ice water. Great ambiance at the restaurant too.

    I fed myself 4x times over a 3 day period at Burger Theory.... Two breakfasts and two dinners while staying in Idaho falls. The food is really good... not just for hotel food but seriously good. Their burgers are bomb, no joke. I had the classic one and loved it... twice. Their breakfast is also really good and much better than traditional hotel food. Also a standout was Makynna who was my server twice and she was great! Attentive, great service, super friendly even early morning when I was half asleep. Next time I'm back in the IF area, I'll be sure to be back.

    I'm a local and like coming here for a good burger with little to no wait time to be seated. In a Friday it's not crowded. The service has been good. The food is tasty. I like the tacos burgers and onion rings. They have full bar too. There are quite a few tvs with sports on. We come here once a month for date night

    Short walk from our hotel. Waitress was attentive and fast at refills and bringing out food…read more Cheese fries were served hot, and ooey gooey yummm,their tomato basil soup was amazing!! Beef enchilada was really tasty too! Steaks were both cooked perfect. A must try.

    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.

    We were traveling through Idaho Falls and stopped at MacKenzie on a whim, and I'm so glad we did!…read more Our food, beers and service were excellent! Our waitress was so cute, engaging, and on the ball. We enjoyed our fish n chips, and Cajun penne -- both with a nice spicy little kick, which we loved. Pasta cooked perfectly, flavorful crust on the fish. No blandness here. :) Both dishes were served piping hot, really good flavor with the right amount of seasonings. Beers were crisp and served lightning quick We plan to stop in again at MacKenzie in the future when we're passing through Idaho Falls. Oh and neat, clean facility. :) Thanks!

    I had lunch here. Really good…read more Their menu says a lot of their salad dressings are created in house. So I asked if this was true for their Greek salad and it is made in house. Well - their Greek salad is amazing. No need to add meat unless desired as the basic salad is filling and tasty. I got the small and was quite satisfied with both the portion size, the variety of items, the dressing, and the overall taste. The combination of Greek olives with a high quality Feta cheese and ripe tomatoes was delightful. The field greens added to the mix of taste sensations. Everything was fresh, tasty, and complimented the rest of the ingredients. I hope to return for more yummy food. Their menu looks wonderful.

And whoever came up with this idea that they are supposed to be served with cocktail sauce is a genius.. It up'd the game for steak fingers tenfold.

The steak fingers, the fries, and the beer batter mushrooms were excellent. My beer of choice would be the cream ale. . So much so that we took home two growler's.

The flavors of the pears with the candied walnuts along with the dressing all blended nicely. Service was slow. The place wasn't full and one wouldn't expect a salad would take a long time to prepare. The host (who I believe is the owner) saw me sitting a while without food and asked if I ordered. He got me taken care of right after that. I would have given this place 5 stars except for this incident as well as their desserts aren't made in house and that disappointed me.
