11 Best American Restaurants near Columbia Falls

“Seriously, the best burger I have ever had in 62 years. It was epic! So juicy, so delicious, with thick savory bacon on top, and the fries were exceptional as well. I had the "small" quarter pounder and it was more than enough; I was so stuffed I wouldn't have finished it if wasn't so doggone delicious. We were on a motorcycle tour and happened to ask a local at a gas station for a good place at which four hungry guys could get a good meal. Mudman was the local's top recommendation, so we hied ourselves 12 miles down the road to the joint. What a memorable treat it was! If you’re a burger fan, do not hesitate… make your way to the Mudman!“

“What a place, great employees attitude and service, awesome menu and food backs it up. Then a live band plays and they are incredible! I spoke briefly to Cori who is manager to complainant her and her response was “no drama” with regards to staff. I am from out of town have no affiliation to Gunsight but wish I had this in my home town in Oregon! You should all be proud to work there, thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“Loved this place! It was a perfect stop after a long & cold day of hiking in west glacier. I got a flight of four beers - they were all absolutely delicious. My partner got the stout which was so good as well (and I don't even like stout). We stopped here per the recommendation of a local and we're glad we did. Homemade Mac n cheese was mouth watering. Burgers were perfect. Garlic Parmesan fries were an awesome compliment. Everything is fresh and made with good ingredients. You can taste it. Definitely check this place out.“

“We had the best dining experience at Meadow Lake Bar & Grill! Our server, Dara was so delightful and personable! This is our first time in Montana and after a long day of hiking it was nice to come into this little spot to dine on some BBQ Chipotle Ribs (10/10) and the Steak Frites (also 10/10). Our server gave us so many good recommendations on places to dine and hike that we're so happy we came in!Parking: The parking is ample and free!“

“Amazing food and service. We love this place. I can't believe the less than stellar reviews out there. We (obviously non-rich locals) get treated like royalty every time we go in and the food is always creatively crafted with love and high quality local ingredients. The staff is very professional, yet you can tell they are cool people you could be friends with very easily. If you enjoy an upscale yet comfortable meal, check it out. If not, great "paper napkin" food and service is down the road at the Back Room. Why not try both?“

“Great food just like home cooked. Food soups. Excellent salads- my personal favorite is the grilled chicken salad. I' be eaten in some of the finest restaurants but no one can best their French Dip sandwich. Great broasted or rotisserie chicken in the Back Room and their ribs and barbecue are well known. People come all over For them. Fry Bread and honey butter- Better come with an appetite- if you don't the smell of their great food will get you anyway!!“

“Alana was absolutely fantastic and was very good and professional. She gave us our food and drinks promptly. The food was absolutely fantastic. I loved my huckleberry margarita, made to perfection. The steak sandwich had amazing flavor and texture. The fries were perfectly crispy. Going to be coming here quite often.“

“To the moon and back delicious! Oh my god! THE country diner from my youth that I've been looking for. We had biscuits and gravy, the "light" breakfast and one in our party ordered an omelet. The coffee was delicious. The food was prepared quickly. Our server, who was also the cashier, busser, etc., covered it all flawlessly be herself, kept her smile and her positive attitude. We ate there on the last day for this season. Please don't stop doing what you do there - it's fantastic! See you next season!“

“Willows Huckleberry Land is an absolute must-visit, offering a delightful array of clothing, souvenirs, and more. However, what truly steals the show here is the Huckleberry Shake, an experience that's bound to leave a lasting impression.As we approached the establishment, I decided to consult a local for their recommendation, and without hesitation, they pointed to the Huckleberry Shake. We decided to follow their lead, and the consensus among our group was unanimous: it's one darn good shake.While the consistency may have leaned slightly toward the icy side, as opposed to the creaminess one might expect from a stellar shake, the vibrant Huckleberries compensated for any minor shortcomings in the base ice cream. The explosion of huckleberry flavor more than made up for it.Adding to the charm of the place is the owner, a warm and friendly individual who loves to engage with patrons, sharing jokes and stories. This personal touch adds to the overall appeal of the experience, making a visit to Willows Huckleberry Land not just about the delectable shake but also the delightful connection with the owner.“

“Great place!! The food is amazing and costs between $10.00 to $20.00. Prime Rib nite is every Friday and Saturday night and starts at 6pm until gone. The best prime Rib around!! Relax and have drinks ,good conversatio and hang your signed personalized dollar bill. The best place to eat or drink around!! Highly recommend going there.“

“My husband and I had such a lovely date night here! All the food was delicious and generously portioned (I got the blue cheese and onion burger, soooo good!!!!) We had a fun time rolling the dice to try to win the pot! The servers were nice and the door handle was an axe! We love Paul Bunyan and this is a great tribute to him!“
