American restaurant
Nestled within the historic Many Glacier Hotel, the Ptarmigan Dining Hall is a captivating dining destination that beautifully marries stunning architecture with exquisite cuisine. After a day of exploring, guests are welcomed into an enchanting space adorned with a grand stone fireplace and intricate wood beams, all restored to highlight its rich history. While reservations aren't accepted, the wait is well worth it for those eager to indulge in dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients presented in a refined continental style.
Food taste amazing, service is excellent, atmosphere is superb! All 5 stars to this restaurant 🌟 Food is taste better than I expected. Both salad and braised bison short ribs are very tasty. We also got sherbet crisp with huckleberry ice cream. It’s not too sweet. We love it. We got table by the window. The view is stunning. Highly recommend! If you come to hiking around many glacier hotel, you should stop by it. It’s located inside the hotel.

For the price, it’s very okay. The food is fine. The duck wing appetizer was pretty good. The arugula salad? Average. The prime rib with horseradish? Solid. A little dry. Rare is closer to medium rare bc it was later in the day. Diced potatoes with steam charred veggies? Solid enough. Overall, good server. Food is 3 star based on flavor and for the price. Granted you are on a mountain in Glacier Park so you can’t expect amazing. I still enjoyed our meal and time.

Please save your money to eat something else even just the pub next door where it serves sandwiches. the service was awful. I get they are seasonal but it's August and they are still not trained at this point that's a problem. our waitress has no idea what's in the menu and doesnt know what's prime rib i had to point it out on the menu to show her what i'm ordering. and for steaks, she didnt ask how to be cooked, until she is ready to walk away we told her how I want my steak to be cooked. The bison rib is way overcooked in the oven, it's almost like a jerky, super tough to eat and dry. worst bison ever. The prime rib served in a very pale color that ive never seen a beef that pale. and it's barely cooked , even the fat part is light pink that's undercooked. this place is only for a convenience of getting around in Many Glacier area especially during the construction, limited vehicle allowed inside. but the rooms are tiny and outdated. food are awful. worst money spent in the whole trip.

Had dinner here after our hike to Grinnel Glacier. We are vegetarian and had kale and tomato soup, pasta, potato leek mushroom ravioli, and cheesecake. Everything was delicious. We wanted to window seat so had to wait for ~20mins. Otherwise there was a wait of about 10mins for other seats. If you are very hungry and want food quickly the service may feel slow. But the place was very busy and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

First table we were seated at, we could not see due to sun shining directly at us. Second table was better until ten minutes later and exactly the same. Windows were so dirty and coated in bird excrement that it made the sun reflection worse. When you looked up, the cobwebs all over the pergola and support beans set the stage for the poor food and even worse service. Ugh. Do. Not. Eat. Here! The trout pate tastes like a poor man's tuna fish, the duck wings taste like overcooked chicken wing, dry and meatless.. The Pasta prima Vera I cannot speak to, since they filled my order incorrectly with arugula salad and the waiter did not have the courage to come address the issue after it was pointed out to the server. The manager could not have cared less. Some how he thought if he credited the meal and brought it out in a to go box with plastic silverware, after everyone else in our group had finished their meals, that would make it OK. Yeah, no. After hiking 12 miles and just wanting to have something to eat, that is what you get for service and food?, you are much better off, bringing a cooler and your own food!!! Or perhaps foraging in the gift shop. Do not spend your hard earned money at this restaurant. I guarantee you will be disappointed.
Susan W — Google review
Not so many options on the menu. Small portions with high price, especially the appetizer. The food tastes okay, but not very impressive. We added a steak for our pasta, but it was like $15 and very small and overly grilled with burnt smell. Also, there are lots of empty tables, but we still have to wait for half an hour.

We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the dining room. Fine dining with a beautiful view! Considering where you are had to give 5 stars. Service was quick being a buffet. No line to get seated, easy to get a window seat due to large room and lots of windows. Food was excellent yogurt&oatmeal had very healthy fixings to add. Scrambled eggs, potatoes, CRISPY bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, French toast, muffins , pastry, toast. Lots of fresh fruits and berries. $21pp. Fair price point. Staff friendly and provide great service. Plenty of seating. Food was covered and didn’t want to open all the chaffing servers for pics.

We got the house salad, lentil burger, and pasta dish they had. Very happy with all the vegan options they had. The food was surprisingly good and would definitely come back here. Got a huckleberry Marg from here as well which didn’t quite taste like a margarita because there was no tequila but was still good

Polebridge Mercantile & Bakery is a historic establishment located just outside Glacier National Park, about an hour north of Kalispell. Built in 1914, it offers a rich history and is renowned for its delicious pastries such as the famous Huckleberry Bear Claw. The bakery operates from April to November and provides a quaint atmosphere with spectacular mountain views.
Beyond impressed with this place. We stopped by on our way to the North Fork entrance of the park. In my opinion an absolute must for any Glacier trip. Pastries were great, everyone was incredibly nice, and they have a wide selection of other items if you need anything. The road here along the west side of the park is not paved, and it’s quite the bumpy ride. I’d recommend entering the park on the going to the sun road and then driving north through the park as far as you can to get here.

The drive to this place was beyond beautiful! Their baked goods are delicious. We purchased the poppy cream cheese, a honey bun, a cinnamon roll, the spinach and artichoke, and the pepperoni roll. They have some cute merch items to purchase. We also got a sweet little visit from the resident horse. The drive out is worth it alone.
Michelle — Google review
We were there twice on my visit to Montana while camping on the flathead. I can't speak as to the accomodations but the bakery is amazing. Staff was helpful and genuine. Be prepared to pay extra for goods that you need but the quality is well worth it IMHO. Also helps that it's in a beautiful place.

Such a fun place after a long drive on mostly unpaved roads. The food is absolutely incredible (try the Huckleberry Bearclaw and the Pizza Rollie) and the staff in there are so kind and helpful. The cat sleeping on the merchandise was also a big hit for me. Check this out if you are in the area on the way to the North Fork entrance to Glacier National Park.
Patrick G — Google review
IMO it's worth the drive. The bumps on the gravel stretch weren't horrible, but DO expect points where the clouds of gravel dust take the visibility down to 10 feet or so. The Polebridge village is tiny but interesting. The views of the mountains are gorgeous. There is nothing unique about the store offerings and the prices seem extremely high even given how far off the beaten path this place is. Any staff I dealt with was polite but seemed to be "done with it" this late in the season.

Great place to visit while at Glacier. Had breakfast the first day, huckleberry claws and lunch the second, pizza sandwich. Both excellent. Highly recommend. And clean bathrooms.

Found out about this place on tic tok. Took about a hour drive north from Columbia Falls. Mostly going 35 mph down an unpaved road. All that was there were some cabins you could rent, small restaurant/bar and a mercantile store. Store was small. The main thing that was raved about were the Huckleberry bear claws. Spend over $15 for two. They were so dry and essentially no flavor. Not good and not worth the drive. Spend your time elsewhere.

Way on out there but it was the best day! All of the baked goods we have tried are great and we already can’t wait to plan our next trip to Montana. Next time, we will definitely stay closer to polebridge and this great little bakery.

Motel
Located in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park, Swiftcurrent Motor Inn offers a budget-friendly lodging option for travelers. Built in 1935 to cater to auto travelers and hikers, the property features simple motel-style rooms and rustic cabins with shared restrooms. Additionally, guests can enjoy a fully-stocked camp store, gift shop, and a restaurant serving delicious pizzas and sub sandwiches.
I elected to stay in a cabin so I could be right by the Ptarmigan Tunnel/Iceberg Lake trailhead after sunrise for a 15-mile day hike. It was very comfortable and the small bed was comfy, I slept like a baby! Perfect for what I wanted to accomplish before a long, magnificent hike. This is for cabins not the Inn. Has a sink but no private bathroom/shower and WiFi doesn’t exist except at the visitor center so keep in mind before booking. I knew all that and didn’t care, it worked out great! You don’t need to be plugged in out here, get out and enjoy the magnificent scenery as Many Glacier imo is the most beautiful section of Glacier National Park. And there are plenty of trailheads close by, ranging from easy to difficult. Wildlife galore. It was definitely worth the money and was beautiful, quiet, and comfortable for me. Highly recommended.

Alas, the Swiftcurrent Inn/Many Glacier Hotel will be closing 16Sep2024 for major infrastructure repairs during 2025 and maybe into 2026. The road leading into Swiftcurrent/Many Glacier will also be repaved during this time. Though the trails in and around this area will still be accessible, check with the Visitors Center where to park and how the trailheads will be affected. This is the go to place for some of the best hikes in Glacier. Recommend the motel rooms w/private baths instead of the cabins. Rates in 2024….$275/night. Super friendly welcoming staff with the in house restaurant…. Nell’s which was surprisingly good for National Park food.

The room was average, but the value for money was decent. Timing is crucial if you want to use the public bathrooms, but the shower was better than I expected, though there was a bit of a smell since it was shared. What surprised me was the restaurant. Honestly, I loved the food there, but for some reason the restaurant’s ratings are relatively low on Google. I had the burger with avocado and chicken or beef several times, and it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.

Last taste of civilization. Warm showers. Potable Water. Decent breakfast burrito for where you are. Singles of cold beer available. Gift shop has some limited backpacking supplies with food and meal packs. We left our rental car in the parking lot for 7 days. Folks at the front desk let us store our keys in a lock box.

Location location location! After spending time at Fish Creek Campground and St. Mary's campground in Glacier National Park, we stayed at this National Park Hotel our final two nights in Glacier. After experiencing driving to trail heads daily the location to all the Many Glacier hikes in this area cannot be beat! If you still want to cook your own meals, you also have the option of using the picnic area directly across the street so that's not an issue. We enjoyed breakfast at their cafe, and the food served was definitely value for money and tasty! Vegan and vegetarian options available to set you up for a day of big hikes. Staff was very friendly. Giving the rooms a rating of 3/5 stars as the room did not have many outlets (after six days camping we had a lot to charge) and there was only Wifi in the lobby. After 3PM you could forget about trying to use the lobby wifi at all as it was too many people. Could not get a podcast to download. They also have free ice and paid laundry facilities on site which was an added bonus. Hot water and great water pressure in the shower as well. I would definitely add a stay here on to your trip if you are tent camping most days. It's a nice little treat!

We are writing this review about the incredible 5 star service provided at this hotel. First if you are interested in seeing wildlife, this hotel is in a perfect location with many trails close by. The general store has a huge variety of snacks and souveniers at reasonable prices. While we did not stay at this hotel, we found the service provided by Kaitlyn and other staff to be absolutely amazing. We had spent several days looking to see wildlife and came up empty handed. We asked rangers, guides and locals. We understand that seeing wildlife is hit or miss. What was so remarkable about Kaitlyn is that she took out a map and gave us many locations to try. She was so pleasant and helpful about where to hike, where to eat etc that we were sorry we hadn't stayed at this hotel. To our delight after following Kaitlyn's valuable suggestions, we did safely see some memorable wildlife and went on several beautiful hikes. Even if you don't stay at this hotel, it's in an a picturesque location in Many Glaciers and well worth the drive.

Good food and fairly decent service for what it is. We’ve experienced similar rooms, food, and store managed by the same provider at the nation’s first national park and this experience was better. The rooms are spartan to say the least and the bed could be a lot better but we enjoyed the overnighter. Although they claim not to have public WiFi, it was good as long as you were inside the building.

We loved this place! The cabins are cozy and have a full bathroom and separate sink. They warm up quickly (temps in the 40-50’s while there) and include a box fan to help cover neighbor noises. They have a restaurant (good food and friendly staff), gift shop, and general store for supplies. And we saw a bear in the field beside the restaurant :)

Lodge
Indoor lodging
Lake McDonald Lodge is a charming lakefront accommodation that offers a variety of lodging options, including hotel rooms, dorms, and cottages. Built in 1913, the lodge is situated on the eastern shore of Lake McDonald and features 82 guest rooms spread across the main lodge, cabins, Snyder Hall, and Cobb House. Guests can enjoy dining at Russells Fireside Dining Room and Jammer Joes Grill and Pizzeria or relax at Luckes Lounge or Creekside Reading Room.
Fantastic stay here! Entire staff was wonderful to us. We were welcomed like “royalty” by the bellman, and the front desk employee. Gorgeous decor in lobby— hand painted lamps hanging from vault beamed ceiling( so beautiful and authentic) atmosphere very rustic— just like we hoped for! Our dinner in the mail dining room was so delicious— we just complimented our server like crazy about the taste of our dinner. We ate the local fish, and our dessert was huckleberry pie— so fresh and homemade. Excellent gift shop appearance and selections. We love to shop. Our evening boat tour of lake McDonald was peaceful and loved seeing the multiple bald eagles. We also loved kayaking the lake for several hours. I just cannot say enough great things about our time in the McDonald lodge. We can’t wait to come back!

I both stayed in the cabins, and ate at the restaurant. The cabins are small but the bathrooms are a decent size. The restaurant is excellent, with a wide variety of food at a very reasonable prices for the location. There is a fantastic view of lake McDonald, which you may be able to enjoy, depending on which table you get in the dining room. The service staff here is excellent, providing attentive service and is very quick.

I have been to the cabins at McDonald Lodge in Glacier National Park and they were decent for what they are. They’re not luxury accommodations by any means, but considering the remote location and the fact that you’re in the middle of a national park, they get the job done. The cabins were clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds weren’t amazing, but they were fine after a long day of hiking. The bathrooms were basic but functional, and the overall setup felt like a step above camping while still keeping you close to nature. What made it worth it was the location… just steps from Lake McDonald, with easy access to trails, boat rentals, and the lodge restaurant. It was quiet at night, and we were able to sit outside and enjoy the stars without much noise around us. If you’re expecting high-end finishes or a hotel-style experience, you might be disappointed. But if you’re looking for a simple, convenient place to sleep that keeps you inside the park and close to everything, it’s a good option. Not the best I’ve stayed in, but not terrible either… I’d stay again just for the location.

Did not personally stay here, but have stayed at a few other NP lodges and this one seemed no different! Super cool rustic building that has a distinct national park feel. Not necessarily 5 star hotel but that's also not really what your going for in a national park anyway! Location is incredible, and the views out the back make everything well with it!

This place is a great start to a vacation. The rooms and buffet are not that entertaining but it forces you to get out and explore. Very rustic feel, the views are great and the environment is beautiful. Service here was very great and the staff are very kind. Would come back to stay.
Darien — Google review
The location of Lake McDonald Lodge is absolutely unbeatable. Sitting right on the shore of the lake, it offers incredible views and immediate access to one of the most beautiful parts of Glacier National Park. Waking up to that scenery is something truly special. The staff deserve a lot of praise — every interaction we had was warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They clearly care about making guests feel welcome. That being said, the lodge is definitely showing its age. While the historic charm is part of its appeal, the rooms and beds are in real need of investment. The mattresses are worn, the furnishings feel tired, and the overall room setup could use an update to make overnight stays more comfortable, especially given the price point. For many guests, a good night’s sleep is just as important as the scenery, and this is an area where the lodge could make a big impact with some improvements. Another consideration is how busy it gets. During our stay, the lodge felt extremely crowded, and at times it seemed like they are struggling to balance the needs of overnight guests with the large number of visitors who just come to look around. This can take away from the sense of peace you might expect from such a beautiful setting. The boat dock is located directly in front of the lodge. While it’s convenient for tours, it does detract a little from the otherwise serene lakeside view. Parking is another challenge — the lot is small, fills up quickly, and can make arrival or day trips more stressful than they should be. Overall, Lake McDonald Lodge is worth visiting for its location and wonderful staff. However, guests should be prepared for crowds, parking challenges, and rooms that feel more rustic than comfortable. With some investment in the rooms and beds, this could easily become not just a beautiful place to stay, but one that delivers a truly top-tier lodging experience in Glacier National Park.

Had a wonderful breakfast here while visiting Glacier National Park in Montana. Breakfast is served either as buffet or ale cart. Am thinking our entrees were leftovers from the buffet. Still good. Beautiful building. Well preserved. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was friendly and professional. Unfortunately we didn’t stay overnight but enjoyed our breakfast.

Stunning view... but $330 a night. I can't believe I paid that much. No air conditioning and it was probably 80 while trying to sleep. There wasn't hot water in the shower. Front desk said the hookups are backwards. I tried that and it was barely warm. No mini fridge or microwave. Remember... $330 for 1 night.

Nestled along the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Rising Sun Motor Inn offers a nostalgic 1950s-era motel experience with its refurbished TV-free rooms and cabins. Located just six miles west of St. Mary Visitors Center and a short stroll from St. Mary Lake, this inn provides convenient access to popular nearby trails like Sun Point Nature Trail and Virginia Falls Trail.
The Rising Sun is a charming trip back in time. Yes, it is an older style of cabin motel but has everything you need. The location inside the park, close to a variety of hiking trails is excellent. The staff was very helpful and consistently pleasant. Our room had everything we needed and was spotless. The on site restaurant had a variety of options and we enjoyed several meals there. There was a well stocked camp store. If we get to visit Glacier NP again, we will try to get rooms at the Rising Sun.

Delightfully casual mountain retreat in East Glacier National Park St Mary’s Lake area. Our motor inn room was cheerfully decorated with a Red Bus theme and very comfy with lots of bed pillows. Really enjoyed our Adirondack chairs on the porch for star gazing and wine sipping. Restaurant on site was good quality and essential. Two gift shops offer a wide selection of fun items plus supplies.

08-31-2025. We stayed at Rising Sun Motor Inn a lovely stay right inside the National Park! The wooden cabins have a beautiful view of the mountains right from the window. A few trails even start from the area, which is super convenient for hikers. You’ll find plenty of huckleberry bushes nearby, but remember, it’s bear country, so stay alert. The restaurant serves good food, and there’s a general store for essentials and souvenirs. Wifi is only available in the restaurant area, and there’s no phone signal in the cabins or most parts of the park, so make sure to download offline maps in advance. ⭐ Bonus tip: Try waking up early you might spot deer or even elk wandering near the cabins at sunrise! I hope you’ll like my review — I tried to give you a heads-up and a quick glimpse!

We stopped at Rising Sun for dinner and ate at Two Dog Flats Grill. We did not stay in the hotel or camp site. The restaurant is a little small, so it can fill up quickly. We had a ten minute wait at 5pm, but we were ahead of the dinner rush by 10-15 minutes. Great food options. My wife had a duck special (it was good!), my son had fish nuggets and a salad, I had a pulled pork sandwich (served with coleslaw on the bun, just like I enjoy!), and my daughter had a hamburger from the kids menu. Great view out the windows. Our waitress was fantastic. We had excellent service all night. My 7yo daughter was hangry, but the waitress talked with her and tried cheering her up every time she came to the table. A+++ waitress.

For a motor inn these rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. Unfortunately room service didn’t make our beds which was a bummer, especially for the steep $290/night price tag. Alas, a great spot on the east end of the park.

Stayed in a Cabin 7A and it was clean and cute but a bit small for the 4 of us with 2 double beds. I am not super tall 5,9 but I had not enough room for my legs…anyway it is what it is, a double bed and not a queen or kingsize. Not a big deal. The big deal was the super lourd noise coming from the hot water faucet…and we did not have enough hot water for the four of us to have a quick hot shower. All this aside, it was fun to sleep in this pretty yellow Cabin. We had neighbors in 7B and we were worried because of the thin wall separating the two units but they were quiet, so all good. It would have been good to have a fridge in the room but there was not a lot of space to put it. No AC but with windows open we were fine. We had dinner at the two dog flats very close to our cabin and the service was excellent (Thanks Paul) but the food was so so. We had ribs and they were dry and super hard. Normally baby back ribs will be juicy and tender and the meat will separate from the bones easily but the ones we had were stiff and it was very difficult to cut the meat from the bones…worst ribs I ever had. My wife had a trout fillet, supposedly local but it did not taste anything…One of us had a burger and it was good. Well overpriced but it is the price to pay to be in a national park… The next morning we had the breakfast buffet and it was good and the service as well. The only issue was the coffee that was awful…I am a coffee person and I had only one sip… To note that two cooks were playing super loud music while working during breakfast, not a big deal but it was weird to hear rap music while watching the great view of Glacier National Park! We chose this place to have a tour the next morning to do the Going to the sun road and it was overall a good experience. Less crowded than on the West side.

We had a magical time at Rising Sun Motor Inn. We were in spacious room number 7. Seth set us up in a large corner room with views in multiple directions. Seating is provided outside to check out scenery and wildlife. Seth also provides excellent advice on hiking in the area. He set us up for a great hike from Baring Falls to St Mary’s, and on the Virginia Falls. It was a fantastic hike with exuberant falls. Logan Pass trails and the Highline Trail are fantastic hikes closeby which we have done in the past under better weather conditions. Seth carefully clued us in on which trails would be perfect for us and ones which were not due to hazardous icy conditions. He was spot on! There is at least one trailhead on premises for an interesting hike with views. It is easy to walk from the lodging area to the general/gift store and restaurant. Prices are reasonable. The food was so good that when we moved on the Many Glacier Hotel, we went back there to have the Red Mole Pasta with trout one more time. The cook is marvelous. Lindsey, Anthony, and Lilianna and the other restaurant servers are more then friendly and knowledgeable. They make you feel like family. We can't recommend this facility enough. We have stayed there before and if we ever went back to Glacier, we would certainly stay there again.

This is our second trip to Glacier NP and we loved our three day stay in a cabin at Rising Sun. Experiencing Glacier NP from the East entrance was outstanding. We traveled from Rising Sun to East Glacier for a Red Bus tour. We went through a part of the Blackfoot Nation. The views were dramatic. We saw some wildlife (bears (2), horses, and deer. It was cloudy day 2 so we drove through the Blackfoot Agency to Great Falls to see the "wide Missouri" river. It was raining the last day as we left Rising Sun for Kalispell on the rock strewn and cloudy Going to the Sun road East to West. Fabulous trip, thank you.

Eddie's Mercantile, a family-owned establishment located in Glacier National Park for over 60 years, is a popular spot in Apgar Village. The outpost offers American cuisine, cocktails, and outdoor seating. Visitors can also find groceries and ice cream here. Recently remodeled to provide more outdoor dining options, Eddie's is the perfect place to enjoy a double scoop of ice cream on a hot day or savor a cocktail while taking in stunning views of Lake McDonald from the deck.
Awesome shop for literally any need. Has name brand and durable clothing for the changes in weather for the park, knick knacks, drinks, camping food, and a knowledgeable staff that can give you park updates which was really nice. Shannon was great and very informative. Next door is their cafe which has american diner foods, big servings, and an awesome hot chocolate. Great for lunch or dinner!

Love this place. Between going to get food like the huckleberry cobbler and the onion rings are so good to getting souvenirs for friends and family and always getting ice cream every night while camping. It’s a great place. Our family has been coming to glacier every year for years and this is a family favorite.

A nice stop while in the park. Conveniently located right on Lake McDonald, with breathtaking views of the lake and back country. Plenty of shopping options, and a restaurant too. A bit prices to eat, but you're paying for the views and location.

This place is a great stop! Super delicious food and dessert. Ordered the bacon chicken wrap and the huckleberry pie with huckleberry ice cream. They also have a barista window where you can get tea and coffee that’s open from 730 to 3. A gift shop with alcohol adjoins this cafe. Delicious. Perfect for a quick stop after a long day of hiking. Service is prompt and friendly.

Unfortunately, I must agree with few other negative reviews here. First off, I am not biased due to their pricing or anything else other than product and service quality. I'm being as genuine as I can. I hope readers take note and the restaurant too. There is a strong need for treating their customers better. DO NOT order their Bison burger. They are MISLEADING YOU. This is their "Signature" item, aka the Montana Cowboy burger. The burger was bland and the patty was not fresh at all. It was FROZEN, which they just reheated and placed it on a bun!! Their BBQ sauce was barely added on the bottom side. What's just as bad? It costs $26 after their $5 up charge to sub for onion rings. The rice bowl was bland too. Their service matches their product quality just as perfectly!! The cafe wasn't even busy and it still took them 30 minutes to serve us one reheated burger (probably had to thaw it a lot) and a Thai rice bowl. Overall, TERRIBLE SERVICE and mediocre food for an unworthy price.

Given the options around the area, this place stands out ! A reasonably good spot for American food. I tried the chicken sandwich and it was good and filling. The onion ring sides were crisp. Fish and chips is another great option one can go for. Vegetarians may find comfort in black bean burgers. Being the only good restaurant around, the ambience here is pretty lit. Very happy with service time - they are quick and they won't make you wait for a very long time.

There are very limited places to eat in West Glacier Park and Eddies Cafe & Gifts is close to Lake MacDonald. Note: there is no internet service in this area!! So, you can’t read reviews. Their outdoor dining area is lovely. With the nice weather, we choose to sit there in the shade. Parking is quite difficult and you’ll probably have to circle a few times. During the peak season, it gets very busy in Apgar Village. I’d have to say it’s a little pricey for the food you’re getting. All 3 of us tried the Montana Cowboy Burger. Not worth it! Plus getting fries, sweet potato fries or onion rings is an up charge. First of all, the burger patty doesn’t seem like an Angus burger; not freshly made, not juicy and very dry. It seemed like a frozen patty that had been reheated up or put under a heat lamp. The BBQ sauce didn’t even cover the whole bottom bun. The sweet potato fries were not crispy. The onion rings were just okay. The bun was dry and not one you’d typically see for a burger. They do put mayo, ketchup and mustard on the table. After eating, I noticed a tray with the mayos, NOT being refrigerated. I have to wonder how long they’ve been kept out that day. A potential health hazard for sure. Huckleberry Cobbler and Huckleberry Peach Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream is a definite must try! The Huckleberry Cobbler was warm with the most delicious crumble on top! The Vanilla Ice Cream was perfect with the pie. Both are very sweet but worth trying. After driving around Glacier Park, we went back to see the stars at Lake MacDonald and decided to give Eddies another chance so we went there for dinner. We sat inside this time so that we could charge our phone. The Huckleberry Mule and Huckleberry Sour were okay for drinks, definitely weak. The Polebridge Pulled Pork Sandwich could have had more pulled pork. The coleslaw is bland, even with adding salt and pepper to it. The Fish and Chips were hot & good (not the best I’ve had) maybe because it’s something that has to be fried. The tartar sauce was too tangy for me and not the typical tartar sauce flavor. Dipped the fries in ranch, which is good. Joe Cosley’s Bacon Chicken Wrap was good. It was supposed to have guacamole but didn’t have any on it. It could have used some kind of sauce like a spicy aioli. It was a little dry. Good customer service from Varvara (lunch) Daniella (dinner).

Had the Spinach salad with candied walnuts & cranberries & was able to add an Angus burger for protein. The burger was ok & the salad dressing was good to make it add up to a satisfying late afternoon meal. I washed it down with a Sierra Nevada brand NA beer which was very flavorful like a regular beer. Nice head each time I poured some into a chilled pint glass. And I couldn't resist the Huckleberry Peach filled pie with flaky crust that was homemade on location. A very personable waitress helped with my choices & was also eagerly sharing her Glacier National Park knowledge. This is how a good visit experience unfolds.

I’ve been looking forward to a dinner here for a while and it did not disappoint! My server, Kailee, was absolutely amazing. She was so attentive, friendly, and gave me the best recommendations. It was just me for dinner so I went with two appetizers for dinner and a glass of the rosé (dry and not too sweet). The mussels were everything I wanted and more. I love a giant green mussel and these just hit the spot. Get extra bread to dip into that sauce at the end. The pickled chiles cut through the richness so nicely. I also got the blistered shishitos which were perfectly seasoned and charred. I was not a big fan of their dipping sauce, but they did not need it. Their flavor on their owned carried the dish. Unfortunately I was a bit too full for dessert, but I’m thinking of coming back tomorrow for the huckleberry cheesecake and a cold brew martini. The views were impeccable, the service was excellent, the prices were reasonable for the area, and the food hit the spot. I highly recommend for anybody staying in or driving through West Glacier.

Amazing restaurant at the doorsteps of GNP. The hotel building and the restaurant are super charming and historic. The hostess and our server, Brian, were professional and friendly. Started with Huckleberry margarita, which was super pretty and delicious (but I couldn’t taste the huckleberry). The bison meatloaf is A MUST! Great flavor (and you can see they didn’t shy away from the Maillard!) The tortellini was good and could not be faulted, but we felt that it wasn’t as special as the meatloaf. We will be back next time we are in GNP to try more items from their menu!

I would give more stars if possible for the suburb meal and excellent service. The tortellini was better than most fine Italian restaurants. The pasta was tender without being mushy. The sauce was rich but not overly sweet. The Alaskan salmon was outstanding. The sauces and roe complemented each other, the flavors blended well. Our waitress Kailee was excellent. Her timing was spot on, we never felt rushed nor neglected. Overall an excellent experience.

Awesome restaurant. Best food in the area by far. We ate here 3 nights in a row. Food was fantastic. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was great. Host was very kind and sat us immediately each time. We sat in the main room twice and once in the bar area by the fire. All wonderful. We had 2 great servers… Matthew from Savannah, Georgia and Kort from Arizona. They were both amazing. They have a nice wine selection but I drank every specialty cocktail they offered and they were all fantastic. My favorites were the huckleberry mule and huckleberry Gin fizz. Great drinks! The food was outstanding. Everything we had was top notch really. Grilled baguette on point. Bison meatballs so good. Caesar Salad was delicious. Chicken curry was surprisingly tasty. Chicken breast was very good. Bison meatloaf was superb. One of the best filet mignons I’ve had in a while, cooked to perfection. Huckleberry cheesecake was divine. If you’re anywhere near GNP definitely eat here (at least once) PS Make reservations!!

Considering you are inside a National Park, the food is not bad. I’ve been in other National Parks where the food was much less desirable. The service is friendly(95%seasonal college kids). Was there for 5 days for area’s hiking. The best of the menu was the Breakfast wrap, Caesar’s salad/chicken and their Beef burgers. The bison burger was lean and too dry. Their trout BLT gave me an upset stomach.

Nell’s was very nice to have after a long day of hiking! The line forms early so be mindful when you go. I know there are not many options inside the park so it’s nice to have Nell’s as a quick place to get food. The quality is eh but there’s not many options. The prices here are VERY good. Around $9 for a sandwich or any entree for being that remote is such a good deal.

Montana Coffee Traders, located in the nearby town of Whitefish, is a perfect pit stop for a satisfying breakfast or lunch. The friendly staff and low-key vibe make you feel right at home. They are accommodating to dietary restrictions and go above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. The scrambles are delicious, portions generous, and the country-style potatoes are a must-try. Don't forget to pair your meal with their wonderful coffee.
We stopped by a cozy little spot to grab a bite since we were hungry, and looking for a relaxed place to eat. It’s a laid-back setup—you order at the counter, they call out when your food’s ready, and you pick it up to enjoy at any table you like. The tables are stocked with utensils, sauces, napkins, and roomy seating that could make you want to stay a while. We sipped on a vanilla caramel latte, smooth and just sweet enough, and an orange cardamom latte with a fun mix of citrus and spice. Both were balanced without being too sugary. I made my own breakfast burrito with their Sayulita Siesta special, packed with fresh ingredients and served with a mild salsa. We also shared a fluffy buttermilk waffle that was absolutely delicious and treated ourselves to a doughnut cake—so yummy, every bite felt just as good as the last one! Watch out for the Italian soda spilling as soon as you stir it. They come standard with cream and whip, so if you don’t want those, make sure to specify it.

Went for breakfast with my family today. We got there at 935 and didn’t get our meal until 1015 which really rushed us to our 11am timed park pass. My Americano was lovely. The food was disappointing- not super flavorful. My daughter and I ordered the All Day Bird and added avocado for $3. When it came out, there was avocado spread on it which was disappointing for the up charge. I went to the counter and she said “we don’t have avocado spread”. She said she could get me a side of avocado and offered to remake the sandwich which I appreciated but didn’t have the time so took the side and added it to the sandwich. My husband shared the traditional breakfast and also said it was fine, nothing special & not flavorful. My son had the tots and there’s so many toppings that you really can’t go wrong. Overall, it was a fine experience.

We were visiting the area and stopped in for some coffee and huckleberry Italian sodas. The drinks taste good, but service was slightly poor; the barista had to remake the sodas because he put far too much cream in after we asked for only a little bit. Also, for sugar-free drink options, they only have SF vanilla. There was no sugar free mocha, and I’m allergic to sugar so I was slightly disappointed.

It was interesting that a coffee place wouldn't open till 7am and there was a line (including us) when they did open.

Nestled just outside Glacier National Park in East Glacier Park, Montana, the historic Glacier Park Lodge, also known as the Big Tree Lodge, boasts Swiss chalet-style architecture with towering Douglas Fir logs in its lobby. The lodge offers a range of accommodations including cozy rooms, spacious suites, and rustic cabins. Guests can enjoy amenities such as a 9-hole golf course, pool, restaurant, cafe and bar.
I was in awe, when I walked in. The massive vertical logs 🪵as support pillars were unbelievable. The antique chandeliers and light fixtures were great. I can't imagine what it took to build such a structure for that time period. Most of the rooms are quaint and for the most part, the bathrooms have been somewhat updated to accommodate modern bathrooms🛁. The restaurant has a decent menu for each meal. The staff in the restaurant are very nice. The views of the mountains🏔 are amazing from the back side of the lodge. Sunsets are amazing too. Visiting Glacier National Park was amazing. A truly beautiful experience!

Hotel looks beautiful on the outside and in the lobby, but the positives end there. We knew we were booking a historic hotel without modern updates and amenities, but the quality of the rooms was terrible. I cannot believe we spent almost $500 for one night here and it was easily one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a hotel. While I understand there is no AC or elevator, I was shocked by the lack of cleanliness and size of the bathrooms. They were tiny and extremely outdated. The worst part by far was the noise that you could hear in between rooms. We could hear detailed conversations from the guests on both sides of our walls. Both rooms woke up at 5 am and immediately started talking and using their phones extremely loudly. I could even hear the guest next to me use the bathroom…..multiple times…. It was impossible to sleep in that. The front desk staff was extremely kind, and the property itself was beautiful. There is hardly any town near by to even get a decent meal at. We should not have stayed here and wasted so much money on such a bad nights sleep.

We stayed at GPL last week and had an amazing time. The lodge is beautiful and walking distance to the train station. All the staff were helpful and friendly, food was great. The gardens were beautiful, and of course the setting is perfect. The room and the bed were comfortable, the only issue we had was with the size of the bathroom (not a lot of room), but we expect this with an older lodge. Everything was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

An absolute dump. An awful lot of money for not much. While an interesting property with great public spaces, I've stayed at Super8's that were three times as nice for 1/3 the price. It's about 1960 in the rooms. No TV, fridge, microwave, or coffee maker in rooms today reeks of cheap. But hey come to our coffee stand with $6 lattes and restaurant with $22 breakfast buffet. The bed at least is comfy and the pillows seem new. But you can't eat or sleep atmosphere and they are milking this place for all they can, and doing all they can to steer guests to their expensive food and beverages. The building is suffering from not-so-benign neglect, has no security, and entry doors flap in the breeze. Half expecting to greet a bear in the hall. Definitely did not expect to see a bat roosting outside my door. The place is a trip. Save your money, stay anywhere else, and come here for a drink before having dinner elsewhere over the expensive offerings here.

Unbelievably close to the train station. Very nice lobby. Great views. Wonderful garden and grounds. Nice gift shop. Great staff, especially the bell hops. No elevator so if you’re on the 3rd floor you can really appreciate the “bell-a-vator “. The place is remarkably upkeep with renovations as it is almost 100 years old.

This was our first time at the Glacier Park Lodge. First impression was very nice (and very old). Our room was nice but it had a step/down up to the bathroom. Not sure why but it could have a falling hazard for older folks or someone with mobility issues. We ate breakfast at the Empire Lounge. The buffet was $22 per person and was told they offered made-to-order omelets but there was no one at the station. The other eggs were dry and not very good. We ate other meals at the bar restaurant and it was good but pricey. The location of the lodge is far away from larger cities but we were picked up by two companies we had made arrangements with thru our travel agency. They showed up on time and we enjoyed our tours.

The historic lodge is across from Amtrak which is nice if you’re traveling by train. Love the lakes near there and hikes. The lady in gift shop was super knowledgeable and helpful. The lobby and outside are beautiful. The room however was super tired. The carpet was worn and did not seem clean. The bathroom was not great. The shower curtain was super stained. It needs an update and proper cleaning.

I’m writing this review because I had limited information when I booked the golf house through the lodge. I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodations! 1. It is a good distance from the lodge itself. Walkable but most likely you will drive to go to the lodge. About 4 min drive north of the lodge in a residential area. 2. The area surrounding the entire east side of the park is very rural. Basic camp supply store with some restaurants/ food trucks mixed in but be cautious of hours they are open! The lodge has restaurants with limited menus and pricey but the food was good. 3. The golf house itself is a modular home that has been added too with limited updating. That being said it was completely clean and comfortable for what we needed. I’ll include some pictures, but don’t expect anything fancy. Also no air conditioning! They did have a lot of fans available. It is located near some hiking paths and right on the golf course which is busier than I would have expected. Two bedrooms with two double beds in each and two bathrooms that connect to each room. A full kitchen, living room and a nice big deck outside. 4. Overall the location was great to explore the east side of glacier when other accommodations are already booked! We drove about an hour to Many Glacier and to St Mary’s multiple days. It is perfect for families.

Mashed potatoes are flavorful but the meat is over seasoned. It’s too salty. You should stop by this place if you get tired of burger or sandwich!

Best meal I had in Glacier area. it was a long wait but it wasnt bad, there are some tables outside. the hostess said there was no wait before 6pm, not sure if it applies to everyday but if you dont have a reservation and wants to eat early without wait, it's worth a try. I was seated upstairs, our waiter was super friendly and very patient to explain the dishes and recommend some good dishes for us to try. I had the pork chop which is one of the most popular dish here. Usually i dont go for pork chop but they cook really well and the sauce is very well done with sweet and savory taste to it. the bacon burrata appetizer was just ok, dont think they actually go together well. my partner had the bison fettuccine, its really flavorful with large chunks of bison and a lot of meat.

Limited tables for dining, but they turn fast. They are busy during peak timesbut they are careful when quoting wait times. One more tip, consider ordering a slice or two instead of a whole pizza if by yourself.

I am a born and raised New Yorker visiting the beautiful state of Montana, specifically for Glacier National Park. I say this because I have tasted pizzas from across NYC, in all of the five boroughs, and by far this has been one of the most delicious pizza slices I have tasted in a very long time. We ordered their house Margherita pie with pepperoni and it did not disappoint. Their attentiveness to the customers was superb. We had a great experience here, I’m just a bit saddened that moving forward I’ll have to tell friends that one of the best slices I’ve had was in Columbia Falls, Montana.

Good pizza. Others in our group had salads and said they were very good. My hubby said this was the best pizza he's had in a long time!

Came here on a whim while visiting glacier. Didn't expect much. The pizza was incredibly good, the crust was perfect, a little crispy but with enough chew that you aren't eating a cracker. Ingredients were fresh and applied generously. Both the basic cheese pizza and the topping heavy options are great. Bonus points for gluten free, very standard gf crust, but at least they have it. One star docked for atmosphere because they don't have enough tables on a Monday night. Service was 👌

Nestled in the heart of East Glacier, Serranos Mexican Restaurant has been a beloved staple since its inception in 1990. This family-owned gem offers a delightful escape into the world of authentic Mexican cuisine amidst Montana's stunning landscapes. While it once expanded to several towns, Serranos now focuses on delivering quality dining at this single location, ensuring that every dish is crafted with care.
Great tasty Mexican restaurant in Montana! Honestly didn't go with a lot of expectations but the food is really good. Chips have seasoning. Mangonada was refreshing after the hikes. Chile Puerco meat was tender and very delicious sauce. Definitely recommend ordering it. Costs are a bit steep but the food is great.

The food was fantastic. The service was great. Proximity to the Glacier Park Hotel is great. I’m am very impressed with everything they have to offer. Even though it was crowded due to the hotel restaurant being closed they accommodated everyone in a great way and kept the food coming. You would not expect such great Mexican food here in Montana, but I can assure you it was very good and some of the best meals we had while in Montana.

Innovative Mexican Food, Montana style or maybe, glacier national park style. Anyhow I had the "Grilled Vegetable and Jack Cheese Enchilada Plate". It was very tasty, except I would have preferred a bit more vegetables. But then I'm a vegetarian. Our server was awesome and very friendly. We chatted with her about life in East Glacier Park and in the Blackfeet reservation.

The staff is really friendly and nice. I told them I had a gluten allergy and they were knowledgeable about shared fryers and options I could eat. Their chips are in a shared fryer. There are not many places to eat in this town and I can take a chance on cross contamination if I have to. It was nice to have a different food option after being very limited and already eating at every other possible place in town. They do close for the season on Sept 30th.

We did not have high expectations. We just needed somewhere to eat for dinner. We were blown away! My family loves Mexican and we can tend to be picky. This food was it's own. High compliments and praise👏. My dad ordered the burrito and my mom and I had the Mexican salad. We thought prices were a little high until the food came. The portions are huge! So you get your money's worth plus it's oh so good!

We ate there last June and the Chile Relleno was the worst I’ve ever seen. It was the size of a jalapeño (see picture and size comparison to a fork) and no cheese, filled with oil. I had them take it back!
Aida L — Google review
I enjoyed my food and my mother enjoyed her food. I got the Chile relleno for an appetizer. It was good. Better than a lot of other's I've had. I then got three tacos ordered individually. The three I got were the shedded beef, chicken thighs, and spicy steak. Good flavor, kind of fell apart but it's a corn tortilla so that happens. I had some of my mom's black beans and street corn. Street corn was good. The black beans were pretty straight forward. Good food but it isn't inexpensive. $6.50 for a taco and $11.50 for a Chile Relleno is on the higher end compared to similar restaurants.

Nestled in East Glacier, Two Medicine Grill is a quintessential American diner that beckons visitors of Glacier National Park with its hearty meals and delightful atmosphere. Opening bright and early at 6:30 a.m., it’s the perfect pit stop for adventurers gearing up for a day of exploration. Known for its generous portions and friendly service, this charming eatery offers an array of comfort food that satisfies even the hungriest hikers after a long day outdoors.

This charming mom-and-pop diner is an absolute gem, serving up some of the best breakfast you'll find in East Glacier at prices and portions that are truly unbeatable. We tried their pancakes and omelets, and both were absolutely fantastic. And the portions are generous, ensuring you're well-fueled for a day of exploring Glacier NP without breaking the bank. Just a heads-up, this place is no secret! On weekends, it gets pretty crowded, and you should be prepared for at least an hour-long wait.

Great stop on US Hwy 2. Just minutes from the historic Glacier Lodge and right in front of the train station. The place is authentically charming. We were seated immediately and our server was sweet and friendly. We got their pancake which was tender and delicious (and massive)! The pancake had a wonderful toasted and caramel-like smell which was DIVINE! We also had their cheese omelette with sausage and bacon, which was also good. I did love that the chef brings out the dishes as they are prepared. It just adds a lot of character to the whole operation.

Awesome small town diner feel and taste. We stopped by to grab a little meal to go to then go enjoy East Glacier. So happy that we did. Affordable, tasty, and definitely worth coming back. The locals seem to frequent this establishment and their biscuits and gravy was so tempting. Next time we will try to come for lunch or enjoy the biscuits for breakfast!

We found this place by chance and absolutely loved this place. We ordered veggies burger, chicken strip burger,fish burger, onion rings and spicy cheesy fries. All tasted good, it came with lot of chips. The service was good. Loved the veggie burger and the fries the best. The vibe of the restaurant is so homely. Had a wait time of 20 mins and food prep took another 20 mins. However definitely recommend this place.

Kinda of a long wait but the waitress was very nice. Had the mushroom Swiss with onion rings. The onion rings were on point. Almost like a beer batter and cooked just right. The burger patty was probably a pre frozen patty but the burger was still good. The winner for the meal would have to be the chili. Chili was simple no cheese onions just crackers. This was something you know was made in kitchen. Should've had the bowl instead of a cup. Would definitely come back again.

This is a very rustic diner in an old western town just outside Glacier National Park. I ate breakfast there twice during my Park visit. Both times I ordered the special. Two huge eggs, two large strips of bacon and one huge pancake. $12.99 Everything cooked to perfection. Real maple syrup and plenty of softened butter. I would eat there 3 days a week if I lived near by and get the same meal.

I do love the Two Medicine Grill and hope it never changes much. I have been coming here for almost 10 years and it was still great when I went two times last week. It’s not fancy or pretentious or super high priced. It’s good food and service done well. Best bacon and hash browns ever. Pies and pie selection isn’t quite what it once was and I know they have lost pie makers over the years and I know that’s tough. But I always check and try.

Nestled just a few miles from the breathtaking Glacier National Park, Josephine's Speakeasy is a charming cocktail bar that beautifully marries local ingredients with craft cocktails. This unique venue, housed in an old homesteader cabin, offers not only delicious small plates bursting with flavor but also serves as an event space for intimate gatherings and culinary experiences like cocktail classes and pairing dinners. After a long hike, visitors often find themselves pleasantly surprised by the fine dining experience at Josephine's.
In a sea of restaurants in this area that all serve pretty much the same bland Americana, this place is a shining beacon of hope for diners here. Absolutely incredible food. It was so good you will have to excuse our half eaten plates in the photo I should have taken one when it first came out but it was too good. We had 4 dishes and every single one of them was executed perfectly. The gluten free options don’t leave you hanging either! They make a gluten free crostini that came with the mussels and it is divine! It’s kind of euro style the dishes come out as the chef prepares them, so sharing is the way to go. We were so well taken care of. The staff is lovely. It’s a beautiful spot. We are so fortunate to have this out here in the Canyon, thank you.

If Montana is ever getting added to the Michelin guide, I bet this place will get recognized! The food is “tapas” style and the cuisine is diverse and modern. a lovely setting and super cozy. Gorgeous! We didn’t have a reservation but got a table around 9PM after a long day of hiking. Everything we got was delicious!! The portion sizes were decent and were well priced for the quality and attention that had gone into the food. Our favorite was the yakitori style chicken thighs. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Akin to a tapas style restaurant which isn't explained well when dinning. Really great food, fresh, high quality, variety of dishes well prepared and certainly an elevated dinning experience in this area. The fact that the dishes come out one at a time and are smaller appetizer portions means if sharing with more than 2 people, this place gets pricy fast for larger groups. Also, this is a place best visited when you have plenty of time to dine and aren't coming in starving from an 11 mile hike. It took 15 minutes to be served hummus . However, the food is excellent.

Sophisticated flavors in a rustic yet elegant atmosphere. Josephine's feels like both an authentic Montana experience and a classy European treat. The food is fresh, the flavors are expertly executed, and the staff could not be more professional, warm, and welcoming. We sampled many dishes, and it is clear that each one is crafted with much thought, expertise, and passion. Accompanying many of the dishes is some of the best pita I have ever tasted. This place deserves a Michelin star (or two), and is well worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing teamwork by the ladies working on 9/25. Food was delicious but not enough 😂 I needed about three more lamb chops. The huckleberry sour drink I ordered was amazing! Just a good, enjoyable meal with great service. Vibes were somewhat ruined by a group of loud cackling women, but I was finished eating so it is what it is lol.

Waited way too long for two mains. Got a tiny piece of salmon, vegetable apparently meant 2 tiny peppers and 3 small potatoes. Charging 32$ for that is just an audacity. In addition, the salmon was overcooked and the whole dish was lacking salt. On the bright side the restaurant looks really cool and the entre was alright. But not good enough to let me forget about the main course. The chicken skewers on the neighbors table looked good and were less than half the price I paid for the salmon. Should have gone with them I guess...

One of my favorite things to do is dine out and have good drinks. I live North of Seattle, WA and I would make special trips just to eat here. 5 out of 5 stars for me and my group of 5.

Glacier Grill & Pizza is an American restaurant with rustic and communal atmosphere. Their food is unforgettable, and their staff are always friendly and attentive. The restaurant is a must stop if you are travelling through Town, especially for their Huckelberry Pulled Pork Sandwich - which is phenomenally good. The peach pie with ice cream is also a great choice, and will definitely leave you wanting more!
After a day of exploring at Glacier National Park, saw this was a nice place to finish the day and have dinner. We ordered a Huckleberry BBQ Pork sandwich topped with bbq sauce and had some chips on the side. Then we also ordered a pizza as well. For a drink we tried the Huckleberry Cream Ale from Pondray Idaho. Overall nice place to finish the day!

This place is a surprise gem! We found it by accident after a day of adventuring on Going-to-the-Sun-Road. We hadn’t eaten all day, and found that a whole lot of food places around here are closed in the afternoon and only open back up for dinner. After much searching we found out Glacier Taphouse opens at four, so we decided to give it a chance. I’m very glad we did. I thought it was a bit pricey, but the portions were crazy large. I guarantee the sweet potato fries were the best I’ve ever eaten, fried pickles were fantastic, and our taco pizza was amazing (and huge). Also they serve Arnold Palmers right! I’m always willing to pay a little more for great food. A few things you need to know. The service is great, and the servers are very friendly and helpful. There is a slip that you fill out at the table to order. Then you take it up to them to order and they bring you food. Highly recommend. The only pictures I took were of the giant taco pizza and the Arnold Palmer.

The woman who seems to be the manager is running this place well! She is kind yet efficient, and the food is good! The broasted chicken was one of the most talked about menu items, but they run out quickly so best to get there by or before 6 if you want it, and they make it fresh so you have to allow ~20 min for them to make it. It’s super tasty though —flavorful and moist! One customer was even going to extend their vacation an extra day just to get a chance to try this item—I offered to give them a piece from my order so they could try it and they kindly paid for our whole meal in appreciation! Maybe that can let someone know the hype around broasted chicken here haha.

The service was spectacular and everyone was extremely friendly. If you like crispy chicken you need to try their "Broasted Chicken", period end of story. It was amazingly crispy on the outside and so juicy and flavorful on the inside. I also went for their Huckleberry BBQ Pulled Pork Topped Hamburger that was a big surprise of flavor. The huckleberries pack a ton of tart and sweet flavor so I was a bit nervous it would be overwhelming on the sandwich, but it was a nice addition to a very savory burger.

Located in the basement of the old Masonic Temple building in Whitefish. Needed to go down stairs to reach the entrance so I'm not sure if there is an elevator access for wheelchairs. The place is popular as we had a 20 minute wait on a Thursday afternoon at 1:30pm. Spacious and bright with high ceilings and artwork of paintings and photographs for sale on the walls. It can be noisy when the place is crowded. Friendly staff with fast and efficient service. The Hollandaise sauce on the Eggs Benedict was so flavorful and the poached eggs were perfect, not runny at all! Good selection on their menu for breakfast and lunch items.

My first time visiting this beautiful state of Montana. I would definitely not go back. The Benedict was way overcooked and we had to send it back. And then our waitress Annie was extremely rude to our 7-year-old. He was coloring a picture and underneath this picture was their menu. After she had placed his dish on top of the picture she was yanking the menu out from underneath everything. It was very rude and inappropriate. Also when we were ordering the child's meal she was trying to convince us to get the side of fries. I had to turn to her and say to her he cannot have the fries he is diabetic. Needless to say the whole experience was not a good one.

Also, ordered the Chicken sliders again looked great, should of said very spicy on the menu because the were to spicy eat. You may say I can't handle spicy foods but I usually have 4 of 5 spicy level. So it was just not enjoyable dinner.

I really like the abundance of indoor and outdoor seating here making it great for large groups and bringing your four legged friends. Like most people have said, the food is no frills and only just ok for the area. Many other places to go for a similar price but much better food. Still, it’s not horrible and has a variety of options to please everybody. A pleasant surprise was their baked beans! Definitely get some on the side of whatever you order. Tons of flavor and they were a great texture. Apparently the Huckleberry Fizz is a bit hit or miss, but I truly enjoyed it and would get it again. I also really enjoyed their buffalo sauce to dip fries in and put on my burger. Truly added a depth of flavor my meal desperately needed.

The ice cream was good here but they have very limited(5) selections for an "ice cream shop", I had huckleberry and it was very good. All the staff seemed worn out by the summer crowds and ready to go home. They were all young J1 workers from other parts of the world. The outdoor patio area was nice on a cool summer day.

Great place for a nice, no-frills meal. A little pricey but expected for a tourist based restaurant. Seating indoors or outdoors are both very nice. But best of all, in my opinion, are the fries on the side of every sandwich. If you like McDonald's shoe string style french fries (when they're fixed right... hot and salted properly, not soggy) these are BETTER!

Pleased with our food. Bison burger was delicious, others had chicken club and grilled cheese. No complaints. Fries were good as well. A bit to expensive for what you get though. $20 for a bison burger and fries, add $4 for a fountain drink. It's overpriced. Food was good but value wasn't there. Would not return because of this.

We sat at the bar and ate our food. It was a chill vibe and they b have the option for you to purchase a mug that gives you an option to get a discount on a brew. Seems like something great for someone who is able to be a regular there in the area. I tried the Elk bratwurst with a Cesar salad on the side. Everything was delicious and it was a nice way to end our time after being in the Glaciers all day! I also tried the huckleberry mule and the bitter root brewing huckleberry honey ale that was on tap. Highly recommend it all!

Restaurant
Russell's Fireside Dining Room is a popular dining option located at the Lake McDonald Lodge in the park. The restaurant offers a unique dining space with a cozy, upscale atmosphere that recalls the building's hunting lodge origins. Visitors can enjoy breakfast selections including full and continental buffet options, as well as lunch and dinner choices focusing on local fare. The staff is known for being kind and helpful, and the lodge atmosphere with windows facing Lake McDonald provides a relaxing setting for visitors to unwind after exploring the park.
Great location. Very popular place. Very busy at lunch. Extremely long line to sit when lunch opens BUT they have plenty of seating so the line goes fast. There warm Huckleberry pie a la mode is absolutely a must get. I got there Huckleberry elk burger which had a fantastic combination of fixings that complimented everything really well. The charcuterie board was also fantastic, which included bison pastrami and smoked duck as well as some really great pickled onions and pickles. The Huckleberry tea was so good I had to check their gift shop to see if they sold it there. Unfortunately they sold all flavors but that one.

Nice dining room with good decor. We came in a big group with the red bus tour. The line got backed up, which is fine, and we got into the dining room about 15 minutes later. I had the house salad, which was good but took my server telling me a couple different times that he was bringing it before he did. The burger and fries were good but a little dry for the burger patty. I had to eat quickly because we were late to get back on the bus. Good meal and lunch isn't too expensive. I wish I had more time to enjoy.

The food was typically delicious. We had one or two minor temperature problems in our five nights of dining. The huckleberry pie is not to be missed. The fingerling potatoes at dinner and the home fries at breakfast are amazing. The staff are incredibly friendly but especially Allyson, Jax, and Stephanie

I have been to Russell’s Dining Room at Lake McDonald Lodge and the food was just ok. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. For the price, I expected something a lot better. It’s not just expensive… it’s way, way, way too expensive for what you’re actually getting. The portions weren’t large, and the quality didn’t match the fine dining prices they’re charging. That said, the atmosphere is amazing. The historic lodge setting, the woodwork, the views through the big windows—it all feels classic and cozy. It’s a beautiful place to sit down and take a break, especially after a long day on the trails. The service was good and the staff was friendly, which helped balance out the experience a little. But when it comes down to the meal itself, you’re mostly paying for the location and ambiance. If you’re fine with that and want to enjoy the setting, it’s worth trying once. But if you’re after great food for the money, I’d look somewhere else. I’ve had better meals elsewhere in the park at half the cost. I don’t regret going, but I probably wouldn’t eat there again unless I just wanted the view.

We actually dined at Lucke’s Lounge but they were able to serve us food from the restaurant adjacent. The drinks were fine and moderately priced. We definitely liked the Brussels Sprouts - spot on for the flavor w/ that vinaigrette. The Pork Flat Iron was lean and texture was fine, however it was seriously lacking flavor or a sauce - it was just too bland, and I can’t justify the cost for this entree being close to $30 w/ the utter lack in flavor. Zoe was our server and she was courteous and professional.

We did not eat here because the prices were too high! The dining room looks rustic but that doesn’t mean the food is good. Per reviews and what people said when we were there, the food is mediocre. I’m not paying those high prices for mediocre. I can cook my own food in my lodge.

Amazing Crepes is a charming cafe located in Whitefish, known for its delightful sweet and savory crepes as well as espresso drinks. The cafe prides itself on catering to various dietary needs, offering popular gluten-free options alongside their regular menu. Visitors rave about the light and flavorful crepes, with favorites including the pear, gorgonzola, and almond for those with a sweet tooth, and the salmon dill crepe for those craving something savory.
One bite and I saw carbs in a whole new light. The French toast crepe at Amazing Crepes isn’t breakfast — it’s a spiritual experience wrapped in buttery magic. Crispy edges, soft center, powdered sugar snowstorm… I almost proposed. The staff? Absolute legends — fast, friendly, and somehow didn’t laugh as I stared lovingly at my plate. If you don’t order it, I can’t help you.

They truly are good (+/-amazing) crepes. We ordered - Veggies crepes, Brie cheese and spinach crepe, Nutella and banana crepes. Everything tasted really good and was served super hot. It felt like food took forever to arrive though. Given restaurant is super busy, I was not frustrated about the waiting. Pocket friendly prices and it’s worth your visit.

Jersey Boys Pizzeria, located in downtown Whitefish, is a family-owned pizzeria offering the best pizza in town. They specialize in authentic New Jersey-style pies with thin, crispy crusts and premium toppings. Using fresh local ingredients, they also serve sandwiches, strombolis, and calzones. The cozy and lively atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to enjoy a slice of New York style pizza or grab a drink with friends on their patio.
This was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. We ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and the flavors were stellar! Matt, the GM, was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Super personable guy! I didn’t get a picture of the buffalo wings but wow, wow!! I can’t say enough good things about this establishment. You guys are killing it!

Ordered what I would call a lost generation combination off the menu for the children and a large cheese for the adult purists. Large cheese was perfect in terms of flavor. Matched any good NJ (or NY) pizza. Crust had a good amount of chew but could have been a little more crisp on the bottom. The kids loved their pizza.

I've been here twice. I tried the Animal pizza the first time and it was amazing. The second time I decided to try the Garbage Can and the Classic. They were also really tasty but the Animal is the one I'd recommend. It's very flavorful. I also tried the jersey rolls and the meatballs. I'd pass on those next time and stick to pizza or maybe a sandwich. I will definitely go back. The young girl waitressing could use some help so she doesn't have to juggle so much. The atmosphere is lacking cohesiveness and needs some more fun decor. Maybe ownership will keep investing in the dining area inside and out. The pizza is so good that I won't dock any stars for that so that others can find a yummy pizza too! Also, please fix the paper towel dispenser in the restroom.

I got the gluten-free pizza with dairy free cheese, and the pizza was burnt. The cheese they used was not very good. There were flies everywhere, too. Won't be back.

Always double check for your pickup order. My pickup order was brought out to the warming oven, my name wasn’t added to the pick up list to view, and I ended up waiting an extra 20 minutes before anyone spoke up. The young man working the counter didn’t have a very nice response to my frustrations. I asked for a little compensation and I was called “rude” for suggesting. Very odd. My order wasn’t correct either. When I opened up the ‘za, no pepperoni. Complete bummer, but the staff took care of me and didn’t charge me for the mixup. The pizza was awesome itself - even without the pepperoni. Leftovers at breakfast were just as good if not better. The buffalo wings were very good too - flavor and meat. This place looked fun. I’ll be back for sure. A good place to have a small gathering. I bet this place can get pretty busy!

As parents adjusting to a kiddo with new food sensitivities, this was our first successful family meal out in six months — and it was such a relief. The person taking our order took the time to understand our needs and helped us order safely. Jersey Boys uses a verified gluten-free crust, a separate oven, careful prep, and truly makes the effort to get it right — something we haven’t found anywhere else. We had an 8-year old quite happy to feel “normal” - the board games and pinball was a bonus! We’re so grateful and will definitely be back!

The best part of our experience was our server. The food was alright. We tried the tofu rolls and that was awesome. However the pad thai we ordered came out and it was a VERY small portion for $20. The noodles were also broken into very small segments which is not traditional pad thai. Our waiter took it back and got us a 2nd tofu roll instead. We were grateful for that. Also the himachi nigiri had scales left on the side of the plate. The sake was the highlight. We tried the house cold sake and it had hints of plum, and vanilla. Was definitely some of the best sake we have had. Also when I went to the bathroom, everyone working there smiled at me and stepped out of the way to make room for me. They have an exceptional staff. We wouldn’t personally eat there again as the food wasn’t for us. However, we would go back to drink and dine in the nice atmosphere. Overall, 4 stars is warranted for the wonderful staff and the tofu roll was great.

I'm not mad but I wouldn't come back for this sushi. The wagyu appetizer was alright so I rounded up to 3 stars. I would say maybe this is similar to the grocery store sushi. Just not worth the price tag for what it was 2 sushi rolls and the wagyu appetizer is around $65 for reference

I wanted to love this but I just couldn't. We are sushi fanatics and this just did not cut the mustard. The rice was dry and meal-y. The rolls were small and ridiculously priced for their size. We got the special roll for the evening and it had a really unappetizing texture (HUGE chunks of whole snap pea I think?) and we had to just "Get through" that one - which you shouldn't have to do with a $20 roll. Just really disappointing sushi overall. The seaweed salad and spicy tuna roll were good and the atmosphere is awesome, great service. So, it's a good place to eat - the sushi just isn't very good! Pictured is a $100 dinner (yikes).

Absolutely amazing! I’m not sure what other people are talking about in these negative reviews. Their menu is pricey but well worth it for the food and service we received! We had the Snow Leopard and Hot Blonde sushi rolls and the Seafood Yakisoba. The Snow Leopard was buttery and full flavored while the Hot Blonde was crisp and refreshing. For a starter we got the Shumai, a double spicy pork dumpling. All of it was so good I’m convinced it’s 100% homemade. We also think they might make their own wasabi, which definitely has a kick but is so delicious! A lot of new and interesting flavors that I haven’t experienced ever if not in a long time at any Asian-food place, including their “naan” bread with a Japanese 7 Spice seasoning that was great. To top it off we had Almond Crème Brulee and Strawberry Mochi. Also amazing! All of the Itamae seemed to have worked diligently and were familiar with their craft, it was entertaining to watch them build beautiful dishes. The service was great, and they did amazing with being short staffed. Thank you for a great experience!

A rewarding lunch after a long day of hiking. The fact that there is this place in the park serving hot food should be appreciated. The prices are reasonable and the food is good (nothing crazy but decent). Our server was very friendly. After ordering she let us know that they were out of their soup and we ended up ordering pulled pork sandwich instead. We also got a burger and cod nuggets.

The restaurant provides a classic fast food feel with an atmosphere that is not over the top. It's a great spot for those craving some normalcy after days of hiking in the West side of the park.
I have been to the Jammer Grill at Glacier National Park and honestly, it was better than I expected. We originally planned to eat at the main restaurant nearby, but the wait time was long and the crowd was heavy. We decided to try Jammer Grill instead and it turned out to be a great choice. The food came out fast, and everything we ordered was hot and tasted fresh. I had a burger and fries, and both were cooked just right… no complaints at all. The rest of my group tried the pulled pork sandwich and a couple salads, and everyone left happy. The portion sizes were generous too, especially for a quick-serve place inside a national park. There’s some shaded seating outdoors which made it a good spot to relax without feeling rushed. I liked that we could enjoy a good meal without the hassle of a reservation or a long sit-down experience. If you’re hungry while visiting the park and don’t want to waste time waiting for a table somewhere, Jammer Grill is a solid option. I’d eat there again for sure… quick, tasty, and convenient.

If you’re in Glacier National Park and need a tasty dining spot, Jammer Joes Grill and Pizzeria is your go-to spot! It’s got that laid-back, cozy vibe that’s perfect after a day of exploring. We were on the hunt for veggie options and hit the jackpot with their pasta and pizza. The breaded Parmesan eggplant was truly a standout; its crispy coating provided a delightful crunch that paired perfectly with the rich marinara sauce. It was unique and packed with flavor, making it one of the best dishes I had in the park. Even their basic cheese pizza, with the choice of your toppings, was tasty and satisfying. We also ordered huckleberry cheesecake for dessert; it had a good texture and was very tasty, although it didn’t have much of huckleberry flavor-just a few huckleberries as toppings. Ratings Summary • Eggplant Parmesan Pasta: 4.5/5 • Cheese Pizza: 3.5/5 • Huckleberry Cheesecake: 4/5 Service is speedy and cheerful, making sure you’re well-fed and happy. Jammer Joes might not be fancy, but it’s definitely satisfying. So, grab a seat, enjoy the mountain lodge feel, and dig in!

My husband and I had breakfast here during our trip to Glacier National Park after a recommendation from our rafting guide, and we are so glad we did! This was some of the best food we had during our trip. It’s kind of off the beaten path and located at a campground near the west entrance of glacier, but it is so cute and the food was amazing. There is covered outdoor seating and when we went it was raining and they had the fire going so it was nice and cozy. Would highly recommend!!

It's a popular spot for skiers and bikers to unwind after a day at Whitefish Mountain Resort. The extensive beer selection includes many Montana-made options, making it a go-to destination for beer enthusiasts. In addition to the impressive drink menu, the Tap House serves up delicious pizza and pub food.
Excellent place to have a cold brew and a pizza. Easy to follow menu and they offer alcoholic and non alcoholic beers, ciders, craft beers and mix drinks. Slot machines are available. The service is friendly and very attentive. Our time here was great and plan to come again when in town. Overall a great experience.

After a long day on the hills skiing or hiking, this is a great spot for food & drink. The wings were great! And the tap beer selection is awesome! Packer and Star Wars memorabilia help to bring the atmosphere together.

Came in at 11am 8/18/25. Everything was clean, organized, and not busy at all. I ordered the East Coast Philly, my son ordered the Ski Boss Burger and we shared the mozzarella sticks. Everything was outstanding. The flavor of the food was fresh and juicy. The guy working behind the bar in the white shirt and shoulder length blonde hair was very friendly and easy going. He had a great aura about him. 10 out of 10! We will be back!

Absolutely one of my favorite places we’ve been so far. The food was amazing, and beer selection was very extensive. The waiter was amazing, and very knowledgeable on the beer selection. Our glasses never ran dry. Dogs were allowed inside, which absolutely made my day! I loved it here and would absolutely make the trip back to visit again.

Top notch beer bar! We had a micro wedding in GNP during the off season. We wanted to go to brewery and just have a relaxed evening with our friends afterwards. We could not have picked a more perfect place! The staff was all super nice and reserved us an area in the back. They let us pay on one tab across the bar and food which made it super easy for me to cash out at the end of the night. It was everything I wanted for my "reception". The bar staff was so funny when I gave them the rest of our cake.

I'm not a beer guy, but if I was this would be the place. Tons of beer on tap including some non-alcoholic choices. There is pizza and I think other stuff on the menu. Great outdoor seating area when the weather is cooperative and you can let your dog hang out. Some nice local flavor.

Pizza is amazing (thin, burnt cheese crust, YUM). Beer selection is endless, great for flights. All around a good, laid back vibe. Shout out whoever runs the music playlist.

I'll say the bartenders and girl taking my order were very nice! A great selection of beer, including non alcoholic which I really appreciate. Unfortunately I don't recommend eating here, the pretzel bites came out wrinkly and dry, and the fried pickles were just ok. But if you just want drinks then this is a good spot! Also had sports on which we liked.

Backslope Brewing is a brewery located in Glacier National Park that hosts trivia nights and live music. Unfortunately, both events have been canceled through 2020. The brewery has a great atmosphere and excellent food. They should be voted best in Columbia Falls!
This is a welcomed surprised after going on a long hike in Glacier National Park. The place is nice and their playlist is fantastic. Their beers are impressive and with a wide range of flavor profiles for the majority of palates. Their Gyros and Schwarma are delicious. We also had those with a soup and fries and they were also so tasty. We decided to try their dessert cookies and we were in love with their kitchen sink cookie this thing is a good size and with so many ingredients and flavors I was in heaven. Overall a great experience and the service from Michelle were outstanding we will be back when in town this is a great place to hang out, relax and enjoy a cold brew. If you do come to eat come hungry go find a mountain to climb then on the way back to civilization stop by this brewery you will be glad you did. Come and check them out.

One of the better places we ate while in Columbia Falls area! Food was flavorful and large portions. A bit of a wait, but there was signage on the door saying this was their busy season! Worth the wait in my opinion!

Who would think feta cheese and balsamic glaze on a burger would be so sublime? My burger and fries were amazing. My husband loved his pita accompanied by salad for a more healthier meal. Although neither of us drink beer, the patrons seemed to really like the selections at Backslope Brewing.

Dropped in at Backslope Brewing and had a great experience! The food came out quickly, portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. You can tell they put care into both the quality and presentation. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a good meal with good company. Definitely worth the stop — we’ll be back!

Cafe
American restaurant
Two Sisters Cafe is a cafe located in Missoula, Montana that specializes in Native American cuisine. The cafe is operated by sisters Beth and Susan Higgens along with their partner John Cunnigham. The cafe offers delicious food within the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The sister's menu features made-to-order dishes with homemade bread and pastries. They also serve coffee, tea, and cold drinks.
We are visiting from Tennessee and were unsure where to eat with limited options. We chose Two Sisters because I have allergies and saw they had gluten free buns. We were seated quickly for a party of 9, and our server was very kind and welcoming. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, but I ended up deciding on the half chicken meal. I did ask if anything in that meal had dairy or gluten in it, and our server quickly went to ask the kitchen, and it did not. That was exciting to me because usually I have to get a burger because it’s the safest option for me. Our food came quickly, and he brought the kids’ food out first- which we are always appreciative of. The adults’ food came quickly after. Everyone’s food was delicious, and my extremely picky 4 year old even at the cheese flatbread (pizza to her). We were impressed with everything from service to the food and would definitely recommend Two Sisters.

This place is a hit for a variety of reasons. The food is great and comes in large portions, the staff are very friendly (our waitress Morgan), the atmosphere is really warm, from the wall decor and the amount of people eating at the restaurant. Every dish we had was equally delicious! Although the dishes fall in between 20-40 USD, I say the prices were well worth it considering the sort of remote area it is.

Located a short distance from Glaciers East Gate, you can't miss the building and you won't want to miss the food. Incredibly nice service and excellent food. Violent Fems, U2, and others decorated the music from the kitchen add Christmas lights, honey and huckleberry syrup on the walls...The eclectic decorations are donated by customers. Definitely worth the stop. The garlic curds were the best yet and the chicken sandwich was delicious. Didn't get the bison but it looked delicious a table over.

We mainly stopped in for ice cream but decided to get appetizers and were not disappointed. The salad we got was full of fresh, delicious vegetables with real greens. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection, were still talking about them weeks later. The service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was fun and light-hearted. Easily the best place we ate on a trip to Glacier National Park.

This roadside eatery that is "near Babb" is more than meets the eye. It's an establishment with some deep-rooted character, and (really) good grub to boot. There was a 45min+ wait the first time my hiking/camping crew tried to get a table on a Thursday after 7PM. We were hungry from a day of outdoor adventure so we satiated our hunger elsewhere that evening. But then we tried again the next day for an early Friday dinner around 5PM, and got seated right away. And it certainly did not disappoint. Service was homey and attentive, and also very well-oiled and efficient. For instance, when one of our entrées came out with the incorrect sides, they recognized and acknowledged the discrepancy and then quickly brought out the correct sides for that order. The restaurant decor largely consists of license plates and bumper stickers covering the inside walls, providing ample entertainment while we waited for our food. During the meal, it was clear that the clientele consisted of a mix of regular locals and out-of-state tourists (like myself). Always a good sign. I ordered the "Chef's Bison Cut of the Day", which was a generous helping of NY strip steak, with a mushroom sauce that was surprisingly complex and tasty. I wish we had had more days at Glacier National Park so that I could've come back and ordered more of the menu. And yes, at Two Sisters restaurant I definitely did get "hucked up" (as they say). I got the Huckleberry Cream Soda, and the Huckleberry Pie PLUS a scoop of Huckleberry ice cream. IMO the Huckleberry ice cream here was better than the version you can find within the national park itself at the concessions!
Eric L — Google review
Very cool spot! The menu is fancier than the atmosphere but the vibe is so cool in this place! Lots to look at on the walls, super friendly staff and excellent food! We got two of the bison tenderloin and a trout & waffles to split. We also got drinks & the pie/icecream. Needless to say we were very satisfied! Will definitely come back next time we travel here!

Nestled in the vibrant heart of downtown Whitefish, The Firebrand Hotel is a stunning lodge-style retreat that offers breathtaking views of both the city and surrounding mountains. This modern boutique hotel features 86 elegantly designed rooms with clean neutrals, walk-in showers, and convenient writing desks.
We stayed here for the week while we visited Glacier National Park. We couldn't have been more happy with the stay. You're 35 minutes from the west entrance of the park and 2 hours from the east entrance. We spent the days in the park, then at night we were walking distance from all the nice bars and restaurants of Whitefish. The room was very nice and the property is great. The bear spray vending machine was an easy and affordable way to get your spray if you plan to hike the park. We look forward to staying at the Firebrand again.

We reserved a night at Firebrand and paid a very high price for a King bed room. Upon arrival (an hour after check in time) they put us in a double queen room instead with no explanation to why and we only found out after entering the room. We questioned them on it and they told us “maintenance issue”. Next, operating the shower was so confusing and challenging. They had small instructions but I’m quite surprised a shower could be so confusing. There also was no fan in the bathroom and no trash can. Small but annoying things especially when you pay over $800 for 1 night! The bed was extremely uncomfortable and because my husband is heavier I kept rolling down to his side. We both had the worst night of sleep ever. To top everything off the night we arrived we had appetizers and drinks at the restaurant. There were only two other tables occupied and almost every single staff member but 1 was almost constantly on their phones and not attentive at all. If I ran the hotel I would fire everyone there as it felt like we were almost an inconvenience. I never write reviews but after spending so much money and feeling so disappointed on our anniversary outing I could help warning others before spending their time here. I wish I had spent less at a different hotel as I easily could have and not have dealt with this.

Nice hotel, but not extraordinary. Expected more, given the price. Room was nice, but not much different than a Hampton Inn, just much more expensive. Hotel staff was very friendly. Location has its pluses and minuses. The plus is being close to shopping and lots of restaurants. The minus is excessive road noise. Our room was close to Hwy 93, apparently the only way to get through town. Road noise was constant all night long, especially from trucks. Hwy 93 takes a sharp left turn next to the hotel, and trucks feel obligated to hit the engine brake to make the turn. Had to resort to using earplugs, a huge disappointment for a hotel at this price point. BTW, why no bypass around Whitefish?.

I was so looking forward to my stay at The Firebrand and am so disappointed. The hotel is dated and tired and doesn't feel as clean as I would expect from a $525 + room rate. I can't imagine having to share the room as It's very cramped and frankly not as nice as recent Hampton Inn stays- for $150 per night. The staff was unimpressive and inattentive. I did not feel welcomed. I have never written a bad review, but wanted to share my experience. I sure wish I knew what I know now before I booked the room.

I have zero affiliation with this restaurant, we’re from CT. This food is fire. Wife had beet salad and I got the burger. I didn’t want to eat the whole thing and be too full. I pulled off one patty for ease of biting and murdered the whole thing. Worth it! Don’t pass this joint just because it’s in a hotel. Some of the best places we ate were in hotels.

Excellent location in downtown Whitefish. We could walk to many restaurants and shops from the hotel. The rooftop area was nice and great for seeing the 4th of July fireworks. The rooms were clean and good size. However, the noise level was very very high even late at night.

Pizza restaurant
Rising Sun Pizza is a popular spot known for serving delicious pizza, wings, and beer, making it the perfect place to dine after a long hike. Despite being quite busy, the service is efficient and the staff are friendly. The thin-crust pizza and cheese sticks are particularly noteworthy. The establishment's simple building design doesn't take away from the overall experience. The pizzas boast handmade fresh daily sauce and crispy crusts that perfectly balance crunchiness with tenderness.
Great price and great food! They can do half half topping on your pizza, and it’s just what you need after hiking. The wings are pretty good too, a bit spicy to my taste. The wine by the glass was poured pretty generously

We stopped here for dinner after a very long day of hiking at Many Glacier. The wait for our food was long, however the ladies working were doing a great job. The supreme pizza we got was delicious and fairly priced. There aren’t many food options in this area. We decided to return the next evening and dined on the patio. We ordered a different pizza and we enjoyed that one as well. We took the leftovers to eat on the Highline Trail as the sun set.

This was our very first trip to the USA, and also our very first pizza experience here — and what a great memory it became! We tried two different kinds of pizza, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavor was rich, the cheese was perfectly melted, and every bite felt full of taste and quality. The portions were generous, and it really felt like we got more than we expected. What impressed us even more was the service. The waitresses were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome, so the whole evening was truly enjoyable from start to finish. It’s rare to find a place where both food and service come together so perfectly, but this spot really delivered on both. Next time we are traveling through the area, we will definitely stop again without a doubt. For anyone who is on a road trip or just passing by, we highly recommend trying this place — you won’t regret it! Thank you for making our first pizza in the USA such a great experience.

These pizza and wings are BOMB! We visited while staying right outside Glacier and ended up going two nights in a row. The waitresses work their butts off to provide top tier service. All of the tables were full at dinner time on a Friday, but people are in and out constantly so we only had to wait a few minutes. Highly recommend the chicken tenders with garlic sauce. And $5 draft beer pints! What a deal. Definitely coming back here again if I'm in this part of the state.

I went here a couple times in September. One time I ate in and the other was takeout. Both were very good and honestly better than I expected. Wings and sauces were very good on one visit. I ordered a pizza for takeout the second time. It was ready a couple minutes ahead of time, got my text and picked it up quickly. I took one of there specialty ones ideas and did my own custom order version with a couple changes to suit me. It was great.

We reached here after hours, but the staff was sweet enough to take in our orders because all the other restaurants were done for the night.

We unfortunately didn’t get a chance to eat here as we were getting married in the mountains that day and were running late. But they did go above and beyond following up with me on making note that they would take us in late if needed and had everything ready to rock for if we weee going to show up. If the service I got just over the phone was that good, I could only imagine how their food is! Great place for service!! CHECK THEM OUT!

Should be called Ginormous Burrito Cafe. Good little spot right off the main road of Glacier Mountain. First take is it's a little pricey for a burrito...until, you get it. Ginormous (G-I-Norm-us). Burrito was packed with ingredients and wrapped quite neatly and withstood the typical rollback of foil while you eat. I could only eat 1/2, even after a 4+ mile hike. The corn tortilla taco did not hold up as well during the eating process, kind of slowly fell apart but was good, heavy on the Cilantro, offset with the lime. I would recommend getting a side of whatever sauce you ordered to tag along with your burrito for liquidity later.

Park Cafe & Grocery is a casual American diner that offers burgers, breakfast, homemade pies and souvenirs. Opened in 1952 by the founder of The Mount Hood National Forest, it is now run by the grandson of the original owner. The charming dilapidated diner decor still remains and staff are friendly and attentive. Menu items include pancakes, eggs, hash browns, bacon and toast but beware - the toilets are outhouse-style!
Originally, we wanted pizza. We saw the place on the other side of this plaza, Rising Sun Pizza. They were busy at about 7 pm, but there were tables. No one greeted us but saw us walk in and staff walked by us several times. Before we decided to go to the Park Cafe, the line waiting was growing significantly behind us and no one had said anything yet. We walked down to the Park Cafe. They were busy, but not as busy as the other place. What was nice, before I could get the door shut behind me, I heard a male welcoming us. He was cheerful. We were brought menus and decided to try the Huckleberry Pizza. It has chicken, bacon, and a "huck sauce". We were told it resembled a BBQ sauce. There was a wait for the fresh pizza to be cooked. We sat outside after they invited our dogs to hang with us at a picnic table. They even offered, if we chose to wait in the van, to bring the pizza out to us. We went to get the dogs and sat at a picnic table. We were very glad we chose this place. The pizza was absolutely delicious! It came out piping hot and looking yummy. The sauce was a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. We could see the Huckleberries throughout. The crust was not thin, but it was satisfyingly crispy and delicious as well. We ordered a 16 inch. It had 8 large slices. We were full after 2 each. Probably could have stopped at 1 and a 1/2. I saw a burger someone had ordered, it looked good too! We are definitely happy to have not been acknowledged at the first place we stopped. Things happen for a reason, this was to be treated great and fed a hot and delicious pizza!
