About This Spot

Walking into MacKenzie's Chop House, you're welcomed by an inviting blend of timeless elegance and genuine warmth. Tucked beneath the familiar charm of downtown Colorado Springs, this is a place where the buzz slows down just enough to appreciate the details — from the gentle rustle of live plants by the windows to the comforting embrace of massive stone walls that create a quietly cozy retreat.

The atmosphere strikes a balance between relaxed and refined. It’s the kind of spot where a leisurely lunch among friends feels as natural as a special evening out, with attentive service that never intrudes but always ensures everything is just right. There’s a subtle old-world rhythm here, reminiscent of a bygone era yet firmly rooted in moments that matter today.

Here, the menu unfolds like a well-curated story. The rich caramel notes of French onion soup, the indulgent comfort of perfectly roasted sides, or the satisfying sizzle of a cowboy cut ribeye all come together not just as food, but as experiences. Whether sharing a thoughtfully crafted martini or savoring the ocean’s freshest oysters, the meal invites lingering conversation and shared smiles.

MacKenzie's isn’t just about what’s on the plate — it’s in the small yet meaningful touches, the way servers anticipate needs with a friendly nod, and how the space itself encourages moments to slow, savor, and connect. This is more than a steakhouse; it’s a gathering place where both tradition and warmth make each visit memorable.

This was hands down one of the best steaks I’ve ever had perfectly cooked, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Honestly, every single thing we ordered was amazing. From the appetizers to the sides and dessert, not one bite disappointed. The service was just as exceptional. Our server, Stefan, went above and beyond to make our evening special. He was attentive, friendly, and had great recommendations. You could tell he genuinely cared about the experience we were having. Highly recommend this place, we’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely cannot recommend MacKenzies enough! It’s set underneath a building and has an old time great gatsby vibe to it. The Our server Alex made the experience so amazing and gave us fantastic recommendations for appetizers and sides. Would highly recommend the french onion soup and creamy spinach with whatever you order. Will absolutely return and tell friends and family about this place.

So far the best bone-in ribeye steak I have tried. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to a perfect temperature. Service was fair, Atmosphere was very nice with an upscale touch but not too pricey. 5 stars for the chef!

Excellent ambiance, great lunch venue with friends, and the best ever service from Evandro Bueno! I had the huge and delicious, perfectly prepared Bone In Ribeye. Worth every darn nickel, since pennies are not around anymore. Exceptional customer service from Evandro - courteous, friendly, and professional too! 5 Stars and 5 Thumbs Up for Evandro and for MacKenzie's Chop House downtown. We will be back - soon!

It’s been a decade since I’ve eaten here and one thing that always remained in my mind were the mashed potatoes. Live plants line big open windows to the dining patio which is very nice. Continuing inside you’ll find massive stone walls. It gives a cozy feel. I had my first visit back in September 2025, I sat on the lovely patio and decided to try one of their Blue plate lunch specials -Wednesday Chicken Fried Chicken. A decent size chicken breast fried to a light golden brown, tender and served with the yummy white cheddar mashed potatoes - not as good as I remember and not as firm as I remember and tasty perfectly cooked greens beans. The service was friendly, prompt. The food was deliciously satisfying. I knew I’d be back again… Dec 2025 I decided to time our arrival so that we could enjoy the blue plate special and enjoy a drink during happy hour. I wish I could say I was more impressed but I just wasn’t, on this visit. The service was great, but the food we ordered did not meet my expectations. We ordered the Friday, blue plate special Tempura Fried Shrimp comes with fries and coleslaw. I also ordered a wedge salad. My favorite thing was the coleslaw, a good vinegar tang to it, I think it even had pickled purple onions(?) - which I’m not usually a fan of, idk but it was amazing! The shrimp were huge, but had entirely too much breading for me. The fries, meh. Some hush puppies would have been a nice optional side (not on the menu but would be a nice consideration). The wedge salad was simple, but lacked any of the oomph you expect in a wedge salad like strong blue cheese, bacon, a hearty dressing that compliments and pulls it all together- this salad lacked taste. I honestly expected more from a fine dining restaurant when it came to this meal. I am going to return and try the Monday, Thursday Blue plate specials too. And I’d love to get a steak at some point as well!

The food was delicious as to be expected. However, it's not the best steak I've ever had. Hence why they get a four out of five. I had the fillet, my dad had the prime rib. The beef and brie is always super yummy and the creme brulee was melt in your mouth. Service was excellent. Consistent, delicious and tasty.

MacKenzie's was from beginning to end a fantastic dinner stop. We made reservations and were immediately seated upon arrival. Our server Susan went above and beyond to explain the specials and the availability of certain items. Most important of all, the food was amazing, my wife and I both had prime rib and it was melt in your mouth good. 10/10 would come back or recommend! (Drink in the photo is a "drinkable applesauce", think Poloma with a hint of apple. Cheers!

This as our first time here. My husband ordered the surf and turf. The lobster tail was his favorite. I tried his mashed potatoes and I’d say they were the best I’ve had at a restaurant. I ordered the ribeye. It was cooked to perfection. The truffle spinach was very tasty. At first I thought it was too savory but by the end it was my favorite part of the dish. We ordered the beef and Brie. This is also a very savory dish. The rind on the Brie made it a little less appealing but we still ate the whole thing. We enjoyed our time and our waiter did an excellent job.
