After the Hike: Local Favorites
West Glacier Village Restaurant
Get the pancakes!!! Or French toast!
Glacier Grill & Pizza
Servizio non buono, trancio di salmone servito crudo!! Rimandato indietro e riportato crudo...E avevano finito le steak in Montana ....senza parole!! da non consigliare...
Elkhorn Grill
Hamburgers are great and the huckleberry pie is awesome!
Three Forks Grille
Good food with the only (real) wine list in town. Their deli next door is open for lunch - or order cured meats, cheeses and salads to-go for a picnic in the park.
Truby's
Clay doesn't just pour the best beer he makes great martinis and has a great memory for guests. It's always a pleasure to stop in and chat with Clay (and the rest of the staff!!)
Tien'sTien's Place Oriental Dining
Large bowl soups are huge! Delicious menu...and excellent service. A MUST try!! Haven't had anything I didn't love! You will soon be a repeater!
Back Room Restaurant
Go ahead and eat your weight in fry bread & honey butter!
Piggy Back BBQ
More than excellent Brisket! Mac n cheese was great. Will was an excellent host/server/part owner. We will definitely be back!
Great Northern Bar And Grill
Best bartenders in the valley!
Craggy Range Bar & Grill
I like the Craggy Cosmo with white cranberry juice :)
Wrap & Roll Cafe
Turkey Apple bacon wrap and blt wrap are really good. Infused water available.
Wasabi Sushi Bar
Order the crab cakes for an appetizer. You'll be happy you did.
Swift Creek Cafe
Bacon avocado eggs Benedict.
Second Street Pizza
We needed a late night meal after fishing. Second street pizza only one open till 11. Matty's pizza fit the bill.
