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

“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“

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

“OK so being from Kentucky... I really like to experience good ribs and good beer. Well, at this place I had the best of both. The best ribs from the rib sampler (spare ribs, baby back ribs and country style ribs) so delicious. And then I found the best beer ever. It's called Moose drool, brewed in Missoula Montana. Literally the best beer ever. The staff was amazing and handled every question with a high hearted spirit. Don't let Google steer you away from here. When you go there.. it is 2 restaurants. The nite owl and the back room. The back room is AMAZING! check it out if you're ever going near the west side of Glacier National Park!“

“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“

“I love Huckland, because it's a best place to be. and to get a lovely huckleberry for the kids. The Acade game is number one and fun to be“

“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 🌟“
