MacKenzie Bar & Grill Santa Cruz Reviews
I've been coming here for a while now because the breakfast has been an amazing experience and I love the service and staff. Lily, our server is super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I ordered the Mack breakfast sandwich and it was in my opinion the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I have a picture of the menu below which was taken on April 5th 2025. They do have specials and that is always a good pic as well. The portions have value and it's nice to bring the leftovers home. Can't wait to come back
Food was pretty good service was good I enjoyed hanging out with my friends
Staff were great. Food was good, definitely a recommend
Savory buffalo wings and amazing view on the golf court.

Went for lunch with a friend and we really enjoyed the relaxing feel to this restaurant, a bit upper scale. I had a real Good Tasty Hamburger with a side of coleslaw, I enjoyed every bite!! My friend had a cocktail with her Club Sandwich and she is really picky about everything when it comes to eating out but she had all positive remarks about her meal! The service was also pretty impressive so I will surely be back again soon!
Great place for brunch. It’s spacious and well placed with a nice view of the golf course. The servers were attentive and the food was delicious.
We had my mom's 92nd birthday party here today. We had 10 adults and two toddlers. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The lunch selection was varied and the food plentiful and delicious. Even with the active toddlers and our boisterous family, the staff remained attentive and supportive. We all had a marvelous time and plan on more future gatherings here. The view was spectacular and the remodeling of the venue recently was very pleasing.
Quiet, relaxing view of Pasatiempo Golf Course. Good food at reasonable prices. Better than average portions. No rushing you out here. Take your time and enjoy the view. Wonderful cocktails too.
Good menu, tasty food well prepared and a beautiful view from the deck. Makenzie's is something of a hidden gem.
Good service. Attentive waiter. Had a good BLT on English muffin with an egg inside. Very tasty, but a bit small. Im glad I ordered a side of fries with that. I'll be back for sure.
Love coming to Haggin Oaks to visit MacKenzie’s for the food. Steak salad is the healthy option for me. Ribeye steak sandwich is also a great choice. My wife always appreciates the wonderful service that Tresa provides. Yes, menu prices are higher, but blame it on Dimensia Joe and our own failure, Gavin Newscum for making it tough for any business to survive in beautiful California.

Service a little slow, food good. Sitting on.patio view great.
Decent place to grab some Mexican food. The portions are a bit small for their apps and their tacos so you`ll probably be full after spending over $30. I had the enchiladas this time and it was just your typical salsa verde with shredded chicken inside. Nothing spectacular. The mimosa`s were great! Really strong and had some great flavour though :)
Nice view of the golf course while you are eating. Great service. Good drinks. We have gone there four times and the food was excellent except for the last time we went. I sent it back they redid it and it was very good.

Located inside the Pasatiempo golf course building this is a roomy, clean restaurant with a bar and good views of the golf course. They have a small breakfast menu and all the options are inexpensive for this area, around $12. I had a mushroom cheese scramble with their home style potatoes and coffee. The scramble was fine though the flavors were mild for my taste. The potatoes were disappointing, soft inside but almost leathery on the outside, I think they had sat too long in a warmer. The coffee was not good, again I don't think it was fresh, that it had sat in a pot. Service was good, not too invasive however they checked in regularly. This is a place if you're into golf and want a bite afterwards. There are too many really great breakfast spots in Santa Cruz for me to return.

Usually love to eat brunch here. We went a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday. It was Brunch time still but my wife wanted something from the lunch menu. Even though it was only 15 mins. the Executive Chef refused to take our order. Even our waiter was in disbelief. We took our business elsewhere. We will probably go back, we do like their food, specially brunch but the service needs to be a little more proactive to make sure they don't let the "rules" affect their customer service. Next time perhaps offer a cocktail to get your guests to wait the extra 15 mins?

We had a very disappointing Taco Tuesday night at the restaurant. We’ve been several times and it’s been fine but I think they changed the portion sizes and it was terrible. The tacos were so incredibly tiny you could eat it in one bite. Very disappointing. They also lacked flavor and had hardly anything on them. I also found some type of hair or plastic in the salsa. Overall the food was terrible and a really bad deal for portion size. Service was kind though, that was the only highlight.

Had brunch on Mother's day. I ordered the eggs benedict. As they aarived I noticed there was no Hollandaise sauce on the eggs. I proceeded to cut into my eggs. That's when I noticed that the Canadian bacon or sometimes Ham had been substituted with lunch meat ham. 3 slices to be exact. As it was Mother's day I chise to let it slide. This was my first visit and my last. I know it's at a golf club, but for 24 dollars make it right.
