I’m not sure what happened to this place, it used to be so great and we loved visiting. I don’t usually leave reviews for places but this was a pretty bad experience.
We stopped by for lunch and we won’t be going back anytime soon. They were out of one of the entrees, which was the main thing we went there to get. The fries came out cold and gross.
There were flies *everywhere* inside. I had to keep swatting them out of my partner’s hair while we were trying to eat we were sitting right across from the kitchen. It was annoying trying to keep the flies off our food long enough to finish eating. There was also a lady at the table behind us that was screaming the entire time we were there, but that’s no fault of the restaurant.
Arguably most concerning thing was that all the drinks we ordered had a weird chemical taste and smell. I tried getting a water and then a soda and had the same result with both, so best I could figure is that it has to do with the plastic cups they were using to serve the drinks. I actually had to go out to my car to get my own water bottle so I had something drinkable.
The staff was pleasant and friendly like usual. I really hope they turn this place around because it used to be our favorite spot in the area but it seems to be getting a lot of negative reviews recently.

Amazing views, and superb location. The bar tender girl ( blonde with glasses) was a b i ouch. No tip from me.

Meet up with some girlfriends here early afternoon on a Friday. You order at the food counter/bar yourself. It’s sketchy getting out on the highway when you leave so try to back in. Kiddos were crying at the table next to us but for the most part just a typical bar atmosphere. Everything seems like it’s sticky and dirty but I did see gorgeous staff members cleaning off the tables so it seems like some of them do make an effort. The super food salad I got was great and the ranch is that extra good homemade type. Outdoor area looks awesome but it was just too cold the day/time of year I went. Overall pretty decent!

Beautiful view. Service was very very slow. Dirty uncleared tables. Food just ok. Very disappointed. Won't be back unfortunately.

Good food. Sat on outside deck, beautiful scenery. Perfect and relaxing.
I can’t remember the last time I left a negative review, but this time in particular merits the time spent.
Summary: -Nasty food. Cold, burnt, gross. -Out of some stuff -returned a meal only to get something less gross but not good -nice view -cool interior and atmosphere
—————- The good ————— The seating arrangement, interior and view are wonderful.
The staff was polite and tried to accommodate complaints when returning a meal.
The staff was polite and eager to help but green (at least some of those I interacted with). They were learning and I was patient, so no gripe here.
_______ The bad ———— Bar out of lemons Kitchen out of handburgers—
Dinner for six. After ordering and paying, someone came to the table and told they were out of handburgers. Members of my party gave them a replacement order, but I didn’t check to see if we were square $. ————- The ugly ————
All of us got cold, old fries. Replacement fries were the same.
Chicken tenders burned to a crisp with lots of carbon, inedible…I returned them; they replaced them with already cooked, less burned, but still gnarly having clearly been cooked with old oil.
Prime rib and ribeye sandwiches burned, kinda nasty, like old meat and ingredients. Both I and the other member of my party have stomach aches and feel kinda gross.
Happy to be on vacation and eating a meal together, we left with most of our meals partially eaten and picked at. Those who forced it down felt gross afterword. No food poisoning, just old ingredients, badly burned meat, and lots of shelf time, apparently.
Spent a lot of money on a family trip. The place looks like it could be insanely fun and a prime dinner place. Just gotta fix the kitchen, stocking, quality of food, and staff training and communication.
When taken in combination with the food quality and lack of provisioning, the kitchen and bar staff quirks makes more sense. If I had to guess, I’d say there is a leadership issue. It doesn’t feel like anyone’s actually steering the ship.

One of my favorite spots on the east side of the lake. The Duck Norris is a MUST.

This place. What a gem… and these Caesars are next level. Can’t wait to get back here next summer and actually spend at least a couple weeks in the Bigfork area and hopefully be able to find an Airbnb to spend our summer holidays on the lake. If that’s the case, we’ll be hitting this place on the regular

Bar is great the restaurant was out of wings at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Friday. Fries were the ends and pieces. Very disappointed

First and last visit. View is great! Ordering system is bad. I do not know why they want you to order and pay at the kitchen, just seeing the kitchen makes you want to leave. Yuck. Food was way overpriced. Wings were cold at the bone. Nope, won’t catch me there again.
