    Stopped by for dinner on our way back from Canada to California. Food was pretty great. Good portion size and everything was genuinely delicious. I did take off one star because of service. We had checked in for our table for our party (4 of us) and were told a 15 minute wait but it was longer because the hostess left and we were skipped over and a few parties were seated before us until the host finally noticed and asked if we were waiting for a to go order.

    Well we have been here quite a few times but only now gotten around to reviewing this place. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice, they have some extra cute and large private booths, and there's lots of cool montana-y decorations. So it's kinda pricey here, nowadays that's normal, but what's really great for us is that they offer non dairy cheese, because my wife and one of my daughters can't have dairy. And the kids meals with pizza are HUGE!! Like the pizzas are very large. (See pics). We just found out on Wednesday that kids eat free with a minimum $13 purchase. Of course that's easy to do because that's less than one meal. But for two adults to eat and three kids for $40 is unheard of in todays society! And the service was great too! I had a fancy dish of ziti fettuccine with some other stuff and my wife had a non dairy pizza. And the kids had their own pizzas and fruit and all. Any other day but Wednesday it would have been a lot more money, but hey, we'll take it when we can! I recommend Mackenzie River.

    A large, clean facility with solid service and satisfactory pizza. Ordered a large Good Ol' Boy. The dough was flavorful, the sauce a little bland, and the pepperoni plentiful... all in all a decent pie. Having had the same pie at another Mac River location, we were a little disappointed. Will be back to try again.

    Half Reuben sandwich with coleslaw "Rod and Reel" lunch combo with fries and spicy dill pickle.

    Summary: More than pizza, MacKenzie provides a variety of sandwich, salad, appetizer, and main course options. My lunch combo--called Rod and Reel--provided a 1/2 sandwich (Reuben) and side choice. I had coleslaw. Fries and a spicy dill pickle slice were included in the meal. The Reuben was terrific. The coleslaw was a bit dry. The pickle had a surprising hit of chili pepper after the dill taste. The fries, dusted with seasoning and cheese, were lightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They quickly became soft and unappealing except for the seasoning. Service was attentive.

    Terrible presentation. Atleast fill the tub with fries.

    Super awful, bland food. Will not be going back. Pretzel breadsticks were ok. The queso dip had the wrong combination of beer & cheese. Whatever pairing they're using does not compliment each other. It was so bitter to the point of being inedible. Like a homecook who saw a YouTube recipe & only had Corona & American cheese in the fridge. Although that would have been way better. The Frito pie was like whhhaaaaat?!? & not in a good way. Chili was bland. So was everything else. Why do they even have this on the menu? It adds nothing for them. Attached is a picture of the kids chicken nuggets. The most pathetic looking presentation I've ever seen. They could have atleast threw in enough fries. Just bland frozen chicken nuggets. Nothing different or special. Their Cobb Salad was decent. Ample mixed greens. Toppings were cut nicely & seemed fresh. Chicken was moist. They don't serve the best ranch so that kind of dampened the Cobb Salad experience. Probably Sysco jar ranch. Now to the pizza: you'd be better off getting Digiorno's because that's exactly what this tasted like. Seems like they use a generic, mass-produced recipe for the dough. Sauce taste like jar sauce. Cheese was previously frozen which makes it taste bland. Sausage was too crumbly & non-existant. A slice of Costco pizza would have been 100x better. A very disappointing experience. Not worth anyone's time. Just because we live in a rural area with little options for restaurants doesn't mean you can serve us bad food like we don't know any better. Shame on you for trying to pass off this bland, one note food as "flavorful."

    Large House Salad, Lodgepoles, Wings

    Service was fantastic! From the hostess to the entire server experience, wonderful and friendly. Great for families and friends. Food was excellent as always. We enjoyed wings, salad and lodge poles.

    Dank Buffalo wings.

    I don't leave many reviews, but wanted to for any out of town travelers to Helena as there are not many options in town. The Restaraunt itself is very clean, very nice, seems to be well run. The employees, my waitress was awesome, great location especially for families in terms of ambience. Not great for a business eating by yourself spot, but not many are. The buffalo wings were dank, really good. Great selection of beer. No issues there. The Pizza tho. If Dave Portnoy ranked it, he would prolly give it a 3 out of ten, or worse. I hate to be mean, and I am Sicilian and I do live in an area with lots of really good pizza. However the Pizza at this place is basically a heated up digiorno's frozen pizza, at least that's how it tastes. Not horrible, but really not good. I may just be a snob being Italian and from Boston, but that's my take. Of course it's probably the best Pizza around for 200 miles so, i'll give the place a 5 star rating for ambience but a two for the pizza. They either need a new recipe for pizza or a new cook. But other than that, it was good.

She felt that was self-explanatory, so I took a chance & ordered it anyway. The second item I asked about was the Cafe Mocha, which is described as half coffee & half hot chocolate. Dawn repeated that to me; I went ahead & ordered it, because it's a nippy day outside, it sounded good, & Steve's prides itself on "whole bean Italian coffee". Dawn asked if I wanted whipped cream, & yes--that was the best part of this hot drink. It tasted like hot water with a bland chocolate flavor with no coffee flavor to be savored. Disappointment in a mug for $3.75. The Cafe Monte Cristo Sandwich looked promising when it arrived...but when I tasted it, the only thing which was flavorful was the bacon. The ham & turkey sliced deli meat was absolutely indistinguishable for any flavors of ham or turkey! ($14.95; scarcely any powdered sugar on the French Toast, either, which is a hallmark of a Monte Cristo...& no, it isn't deep-fried in any batter, but the French Toast is a clever substitution & departure from the original.) I ate half of it & boxed the other half...the French Toast was bland, too--very little flavor. My side item was something I always look forward to here, because so few restaurants serve onion rings anymore! These are a $2.00 up charge, & I told Dawn I like them on the light side, not too dark--& these came out close to being dark, & they must have sat in the grease, because they were tough on the outside...not the best onion rings by far. Disappointment again! I came here anticipating another great experience at Steve's Cafe, & it was completely disappointing until Alivia appeared: Alivia noticed I appeared to be waiting, & I was--because I saw on my check that the Cafe Mocha comes with ONE REFILL! Dawn never mentioned nor offered me a refill, but Alivia did--& yes, that's exactly how to spell her name, which is pronounced as "Olivia". Alivia gave me a to-go cup with a lid, & whipping cream & all, that excellent but of genuine "Customer Service" kept this review from being one star! Purely because of Alivia, I will return to Steve's Cafe the next time I'm in Helena, a 100+ miles from home! Thank you, Alivia, for saving the day for me: The next time, I'm asking for you as my server!

Other customers that perhaps were perceived as bigger paychecks were consistently served before me. At first I sat at the bar to make it easy for the servers. Unfortunately it was only me and I was abandoned after My drink came and no dinner menus came despite being asked and responding that yes, I need them. So, I took my drink and asked to be seated at a table. the table next to me had about 8 people seated after me, and again they were able to order drinks before my waitress came to me. So, looks matter in this restaurant - a lot! That is never a good sign. My waitress is probably in the wrong career as she was brusque and seemed put off at having to serve 1 person. Maybe she was cursed with being German as I am. The wedge salad I ordered was two small wedge pieces instead of the normal 1 large piece and was ok, but underwhelming in both the size and the amount of blue cheese which was a bit sparse. The 6 oz fillet seemed more like 4 and was ok - the baked potato noticeably smaller than most but loaded at least. The restaurant scene is Helena is pitiful, to be honest. Billings is the place in Montana to be for restaurants. Maybe Bozeman or Missoula but unfortunately, the capital is lacking. The martinis were decent but not as good as the windmill in billings.
