Split Rock Restaurant

Went there spur of the moment with my wife. She had the chicken Alfredo, and loved it. I Had the greatest burger I've had in a long time. Great staff. The owners are awesome.

Having dinner arrived early took about 15 minutes for 5 servers gathered around the PSOr talking around not knowing what they're doing. It took 45 minutes to get one cocktail for 2 people of 4 tables. If not for the young man we could see cooking the delicious steaks and prime rib and young gentleman in the back could see working to produce great food this restaurant. Simply, the food was delicious and the service was terrible. Dec. 2025

Honestly, for the price of the food, the service and atmosphere absolutely did not match. After looking at the menu, you would expect a stand alone building with adequate seating, but instead you get hit with tables not even six inches away from the family next to you and you’re hugging the table due to very limited walking room in a strip mall area right next to Subway.

We were not greeted by the host or asked how many in our party (even though there were only two of us) and instead she said with no enthusiasm, “There’s about a 25 minute wait, is that okay?” We had planned our night here and weren’t going to go elsewhere, so we said that’s fine, even though we didn’t see anyone else waiting. I sit down on one of the two chairs in front of the host stand as she’s gathering menus and silverware and proceeds to say, “I meant for the food, I have a table.”

We sit down, and wait several minutes before our server comes over to get our drink order. I finished my glass of water and noticed that the server had checked in with the table next to us 3 or 4 times already, and they were essentially finished with their meal but had yet to receive the check. There seemed to be no sense of urgency in the serving staff, as there were 3 servers and 1 host for maybe a total of 10 tables in the small space. No one smiled or wore any kindness on their face. Most servers actually try to work for their tips, but they all seemed like they couldn’t care less if they got a tip or not. Mind you, my partner and I were dressed up nice as it was my birthday and I thought it would be more of an upscale facility based off the menu.

They serve prime rib on Thursdays, but apparently sell out in 45 minutes, likely only to those that were still seated in the restaurant. They said they only had one piece left, when both my partner and I ordered one, and it was medium when we both ordered it rare. I hadn’t bothered looking at other menu items due to wanting the prime rib. I still ordered it, but honestly regret my decision. It was very bland and tough to chew, the au ju was the saving grace. The potato was cooked well, but the veggies were slightly under. The entree also came with a soup or salad, which came out barely one minute before the main course did. The soup was good and homemade.

Overall, if you’re okay with poor service and servers who don’t care about their job and want decent food, this place is fine. But to me, for the price, I would choose to go somewhere where the staff actually smile. Take it as you will.

We waited for an hour and still hadn’t gotten our food when people who came in 15-20 minutes after us got their breakfast before us. When leaving without getting our food, we told the waitress they forgot about us and she lied saying they only have one cook. Ok, so why does that matter when people who came in after us got the same food as us! We had a great experience the first time we went there but definitely not this time. Now we’re still hungry and have to find somewhere else to eat.

The GNP burger is my absolute favorite, the staff are awesome, the beer is great, and the environment is really cute and cozy! I've been here a few times and it's been consistently good.

Had a burger craving, so we stopped here on the way to our hotel and DAMN! I swore after I would never eat again, cause I felt full for life, but of course I have. We had a burger each with 2 sides to share and we could've EAAAASILY just shared one burger instead. Very hearty, very tasty, super filling, they're definitely generous with portions here and as a European, even thinking about this meal 2 months later makes me feel full!

So glad we gave this place a try! The atmosphere and service were both fantastic, and the GNP burger was insanely good. Big portions which is what you need after a long day hiking. Definitely recommend!

Split Rock Café in Bigfork is hands down the best food in the Flathead Valley. On top of that, they’re incredibly accommodating with food allergies—gluten-free, dairy-free, you name it. The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and takes dietary needs seriously without compromising on flavor. Everything is fresh, thoughtful, and absolutely delicious. A must-visit whether you're local or just passing through!

The service was amazing, it was our 9 year old nephews birthday and he said Taylor was “the best waitress he’d had in his whole life” - she made his birthday so special and the food was great!
