    Located off 256 which is north hill rd., getting to the parking lot was a little confusing at night. Once we got to the lot there was a ton of parking. Its a chain restaurant so its ambiance is: it looked like every other location we have visited. Lots of wood. There is a bamboo-ish like wall. Its vibe is pleasant. Our server was Christa. She was super helpful and attentive. We came in for burger week. Didn't even look at the menu For 8 bucks you got a very thick burger with gouda, bacon, Ltop and pulled pork. Good deal. No. Excellent deal. It was pretty filling. I couldn't finish it. What was nice was you could get it cooked the way you wanted it, which now a days hardly happens. What was nicer is it actually came out the way we wanted it medium rare. That was very nice. Fries came with the burger. Ours were cold, so Christa brought us a fresh batch. They were the batter covered fries. Pretty good! Apparently they have a reward program. So if you are thinking of going download that first. We dont often do reward programs so we passed, but it seemed like if you were to frequent this restaurant it would be worth doing. Three stars mainly due to fries being served cold. Even second batch was a bit cold. Burger was very good, but not extraordinary. Still solid. A bit too thick for my liking but that is totally personal preference. Staff was what made this restaurant enjoyable. Christa was flat out excellent.

    The customer service is great, our server was very friendly. For food, we got a little bit of everything. Over all food was a 5-6/10 Nice ambiance, it was clean.

    I was house and fog sitting in Canal Winchester and went by MacKenzie River in Pickerington. I tried their Meatloaf Dinner. It was so delicious. The service and ambiance was so nice. I just took time to check the decor. It was so relaxing. Then, I tried the Carrot Cake.

    Came here on a Saturday night with mum. Lost a star because I didn't see anything I wanted on the appetizer. Turns out didn't need one the proportions are big. My burger was good. Mum liked hers too. Soccer on the tvs was good energy. The service was nice, next time I'll try a pizza or a salad.

    What a nice surprise... We were looking for a place for lunch for lunch on New Years Day, and most places were closed. We ran across MacKenzie River. What a great find. The interior is really cool. The food was really good, but the service was off the hook great - Jordan is a Rockstar waitress. I had the fish and chips, which was delicious, the portion of the fish was small and the Cole slaw was small but they were both delicious. Wifie had the cob salad which she enjoyed. Baby girl had the cajun chicken pasta which she said was awesome. This place is worth stopping by.

    Big Mac burger- very good

    See all

    Great spot with good drinks and easy vibes. Zoey really made the night, turning a simple stop into a great experience. Five stars.

This place had very clean carpet flooring, plus restrooms were very clean as well. This place had a family feel to it, almost like home. The service was great, even had a server that had a trainee that was training at our table. This is an example of a place that cares about a good curriculum of hands on training. Very good customer service. Even had the manager come check in on us and took our to go order for us. So service an A+. Food was great, burger that I ordered came just how I like, was a plain burger. No fanciness to it, no steak knife jammed in the middle, no 6" tall mound, just a plain, good ol' fashion backyard burger. Yum! Wings were cooked great, seasoned with a hot nashville rub. Chicken tenders were plump, and hearty for something so simple off the menu. My son enjoyed them. The fish n chips came out with 2 huge filets of battered fish. My wife had to take the rest home. All in all, not a bad spot to stop and enjoy good food. Not loud at all like most bar n grills. Place almost had an 80's family feel to it. I think the carpeted floors played a part in that nostalgic feel for me. I need to bring my folks here next time they are in town. Will definitely be returning soon.

My favorite fish and chips meal sometimes came with fish and or chips that tasted stale like they'd been sitting around way too long. Or the food would come out hot and fresh but skimpy portions. So we stopped going here. The Pickerington location did not have the interior pub feel. It's in a strip mall and looks like the booths and seating were not very well thought out. Our favorite location was on North High Street just north of Cooke Road until it closed? I have no idea why because it was fantastic!
