MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub

Loved the atmosphere. Good & unique food options. But staff was short-handed. The food was good but cold & had to be sent back for warming up. Wait times to get a server & food was way to long, for us over an hour +

It is located inside Lifeguard Arena and on the second floor. Hockey bar atmosphere, and not quite as cold as the ice arena downstairs, but definitely bring a sweater. Food was okay. We got the rod and reel lunch combos. Spinach salad was delicious! Broccoli cheddar soup was pretty good. The Italian panini was okay, but it wasn't very flavorful and I think the addition of avocado is strange with the Italian flavors. Chicken quesadilla was great, really liked the salsa that came with it but felt like it should come with more dips like guacamole and sour cream. We were thinking the rod and reel combos would be served at the same time, but we received the soup and salad first and our sandwiches after. Service was pretty awful, but we did choose a seat far from the bar close to the window. It seemed like there was only one server for the whole place.

The food was good and our server was very nice. They were just severely short-staffed. There had to be about 20 tables (plus bar) and they only had two servers (who I felt very sorry for). Get staffed up properly and it would be 5 stars. Your people were great... there were just too few of them and the meal was very slow because of it.
