"MacKenzie River is a locally-owned, regional chain maybe a slight step up from Applebee's, T.G.I. Fridays or Red Robin. This particular location has some fun, Montana-themed decor (a forest you can dine in, boat hanging from the ceiling, etc). The food is solid and service is usually friendly. That being said, the service is often slow as molasses. Frequently it takes an hour and a half to get out of there and a good 40 minutes of that is without any food. Sometimes it seems like staffing troubles, understandably the area does struggle to keep up with demand during tourist season. But other times it just seems like no one taught them to giddy-up. I am pretty sure they are one of lowest paying restaurants for their staff in the area. Honestly, if they could figure out the service speed problem, I would consider going more. But it has been about 3 years where I have gone multiple times and the speed hasn't changed. My wife is gluten-free and has had some difficulty in the past ordering items that were supposed to be gluten-free, but were not. This location is better than the South Kalispell location in decor and possibly service speed according to some locals, though it wasn't significantly noticeable to me. The Whitefish location is decent. You can DoorDash their food and I haven't had any problems with that. Parking: Plenty of parking in a dedicated parking lot."

"Extremely confused by the good reviews. Went in the first time, no one even acknowledged me. I finally got served (though rudely) so I just got a cookie and it was stale and gross. I thought maybe it was an off day so I went again and there were multiple staff members this time though also not very friendly. I asked if the huckleberry cream cheese croissant actually had cream cheese in it because it just looked like a color dyed purple drizzle on top, to which she replied I don 't know . I got it anyway and the monkey bread. Both were absolutely stale, bland, tasted days old. Not impressed. Plenty of better bakerys in the valley to spend your money.Update in response to business response: Your response tells customers enough, I really don 't need to elaborate. I will say for your information my family owns several restaurants so I understand quality food and service. Your condescending attitude towards your customer base will be more your undoing than your subpar service and product. Good luck, please be kind."

"Words cannot describe the feelings that I have for this place. The burgers are the best in the northwestern United States. The milkshakes are to die for. You may have to pay for some fry sauce but it's totally worth making your meal complete. Me and my wife regularly drive from Utah so we can partake of this goodness. Cannot wait to stop by this weekend. Probably for lunch and then again for dinner."

"I have been to Whitefish (In Evergreen) Handcrafted Spirits a few times and the place is amazing... be prepared to have your taste buds dance. The flavor combinations are 5 Star plus! My favorite is the amaretto drink on ice and the huckleberry hamburger!"
