9 Best American Restaurants near Columbia Falls

“They took a last minute reservation of 17 people when Mackenzie River on Treeline Rd in Kalispell messed our reservation up! This was for our rehearsal dinner. Our waitress was a champ and handled all of our orders amazingly!!“

“I'm always amazed at how good the food is here as I was today years old when I discovered that they make their own fries from 100% potatoes. In a fast food world laced with things no one can pronounce, let alone eat, Mudman is a major step up. Simply amazing food and it's well worth the hour it takes for me to drive there and home. Everything and I mean everything is top shelf!“

“Food was good. Staff is friendly. Be aware they charge 3% for charge card use.“

“The pickle brined chicken sandwich was spot on! So good! They had lots of NA options as well.“

“They denied my grandfather who is 71 years old has had double knee surgery and has heart problems since I could remember a chair at the bar and a glass of water. Benngy was the bar tender and told my grandfather to get up since he wasn’t getting anything. My grandmother who is 70 years old and my 23 year old sister was looking at the menu at the bar and Benngy took it from their hands. As a new business I thought customer service was a top priority but I guess not in this town. With a party of 9 the tap could have been 400$ plus a a generous tip. We took our business to the Gunsight saloon and when we asked for a glass of water they gave to us immediately“

“We had huckleberry at a couple of different places during the week. But wanted to make sure we got the full experience of Huckleberry Patch before our week was fininshed.... It has a general store of trinkets/gifts also. Their desserts were the BEST; we had a huckleberry; pie/float/ice cream“

“The food is solid and satisfying, especially for comfort-style dishes that pair well with a night out. Service is generally friendly and attentive, even during busy hours. The atmosphere really stands out energetic, social, and perfect for groups.“

“My grandpa started the original huckleberry store and I am the jam & pie maker of close to twenty years, worked with my mom making the jam from maybe nine (+), we have the best jam and pie products in the state and would love for you to swing by and try them out!“

“We visited this gem of a bar, restaurant, casino Thursday September 18th 2025. Went there to specifically to watch our hometown football team Buffalo Bills. We sat at the bar and were so fortunate to have the best service from ( I think her name was Grace) if not I apologize ( slender good looking girl with an infectious smile) anyway she went way out of her way to ensure that the game was on tv for us. I can’t thank her enough for that. I sampled several great local beers my wife had a few cups of coffee and we snacked on loaded nachos. Food was great beer cold and delicious and coffee was brewed fresh by our barkeep “Grace” We enjoyed meeting the locals who provided a nice insight as to what life is like in Montana. We highly recommend this fine establishment to all who pass through this spectacular landscape near Glacier National Park. 5 🌟“
