    Ate here on vacation and was very happy. Great location downtown in the middle of everything. Plenty of parking nearby. Nice bonus when you walk in of heaters over benches if you have to wait! Place was packed and lots of smiling faces. Everyone working there was pleasant and said hello or goodbye with a smile. Our server was awesome throughout and made the experience top notch. What brought us in was noting the local sourced ingredients and reasonable prices on the menu. Both were true and did not disappoint. Beef is local along with the chicken. 3 of us got burgers and one a salmon skillet. The burgers are all waygu. Mine had a great beefy taste and was well seasoned. The burger can stand out on its own. My rattlesnake had guacamole, jalepeno, pepper jack cheese and bun sauce. Very tasty! Waffle fries were very good and the fry sauce was yummy. First time having fry sauce and I am hooked. Everyone else loved their burgers. Salmon was good. Loved the drop peppers in the dish! Definitely recommend this place whether a one time stop while in town or a local.

    The SnakeBite is very popular and can have about 15-30 mins wait on weekends so make sure to account for that. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The vibe inside is of an authentic, local Idaho Falls restaurant. We got the wagyu double burger which came with waffle fries. Both the burger and fries were delicious and highly recommended. Will be coming back to try their other stuff.

    Watch this video! As I am sitting waiting for my food, I am watching the hostesses clean the four page menus. I love seeing this happen. Wish it would happen in more restaurants. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Yummy waffle fries and the fry sauce is delish. Cool atmosphere! I don't live here but glad I found it!

    Stumbled on this great place downtown. Tables, booths, bar seating, and some tables on the sidewalk out front. Varied menu with lots of options. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, creative salads, steak, etc. Wagyu beef was one of the specials tonight. They have several craft beer options, but somewhat limited. I would've liked to see porters and stouts. I had the blackened salmon salad. It had a house made sun dried tomato vinaigrette. Very good. Our waiter (McKinley?) was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. She really personalized our experience. Great place.

    The service was great and very friendly! The inside is nicely decorated. It had a really good vibe. There is a bar and tv. I ordered the Snake River burger medium rear which was cooked perfectly. It was tender and juicy. However, the bun was dry and it really need something more like a sauce or something. It just lacked flavor. The dry bun ruined the juicy patty. Also, they don't offer American cheese for it. The waffle fries were great! I also ordered the pickle chips which were so salty I hardly ate them. The house ranch that came with them was outstanding!! My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy. We have never seen such funny eggs. It was like yellow water floating on the plate. I'm not talking yolk running on the plate. It literally looked like yellow water. The biscuit was not a biscuit. It was a cross between corn bread and pancake mix. We should have sent it back. It's like they are trying to have an elevated place and menu, but they quite don't have the cooking part down. I hope the food improves because it really is a cute place. The outside seating is adorable!!

    The Hell's Canyon chicken sandwich is delicious! I'm a newbie to blue cheese, but the house green chili blue cheese is amazing.

    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.
