Visiting my daughter and son in law in Montana. Chels said I know where we can go. Well, OUTSTANDING!!! We went for lunch, back for supper and supper the next day. The staff is outstanding, food is freaking fabulous, ciders totally rock!
I can't say enough positive things about this place. We brought home t-shirts and a cider growler too.
We'll be back soon, I hope.
Still loving y'all all the way from Illinois !!!
Great concept. And maybe some of the food is good. We had salads with the driest, coldest chicken I’ve ever had in my life. Maybe cooked a few days ago? Would highly recommend that they serve that protein warm on the salad.
Some seasoning would help too.
This place is so cool. The aesthetic is pretty industrial chic and tastefully done. Servers are young and friendly. We sat at the bar with Kyler, and he was awesome. Great recommendations and helpful with ordering. Ordered some flights to try all the ciders and Wow. They were all so good. Each one was unique but not over done. All of the ciders and food were simple and well rounded. The flavors worked really well together and they carried their orchard fruits through the menu. We got the Orchard Chicken and Carnivore flat breads, and they were incredible. I can't wait to go back and try more of the food. The Thai Fries were amazing; simple, but satisfying. Portions were generous but not absurd. We were very happy with the food, drinks, and service. Prices were not outrageous for the quality and sizes. This is going to be one of our staples moving forward.
I must say, the service here is some of the best I've received in the valley. Our server was attentive and genuinely friendly, and one of the managers or owners (not sure which) even came by to personally check on our table, something you don’t see often. Truly exceptional hospitality. I only have one complaint, but it is a rather large one considering it had a significant impact on my overall experience - the portion I received was rather small.
I ordered one of their gluten free bowls, the thai peanut one. It was the same price, if not slightly more, than all of their sandwiches and burgers, so I expected to have a meal big enough to take home leftovers. Instead, what arrived felt more like a child's portion. While there was a decent amount of rice, the amount of protein and veggies was shockingly skimpy, especially compared to the massive portions my friends received with their burgers and fries, most of which no one finished. I truly value that you offer inclusive options for those of us with dietary restrictions, and the food itself was fresh and delicious. But please, make sure portion sizes reflect the price point and the dining experience you’re clearly capable of delivering. Because when your service and flavors are this outstanding, it’s a real shame to leave someone at the table still hungry.
My wife and I visited today on our last day in Montana. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Definitely one of the best cider mills (if not the best cider place we’ve been to). The vibe was immaculate and the ciders we tried were Snow Devil (personal favorite), Blackberry, Moonglow Pear were all straight fire. The staff was so welcoming and such a vibe to spend our time with. Cara was so informative about the location and surrounding areas. We just clicked and felt like we had known her for our entire lives. Great stories and interactions with Torin and Jen as well. If you have the opportunity to stop here, do it. You’re gonna regret it if you don’t.
Enjoyed this place. The space is very nice, it is completely open so it got a little loud, this did not really bother us. The cider and entrees (including very large flat breads) were solid but nothing to write home about. The appetizers were fantastic. The cheese curds and fries were wonderful, definitely something I would return for.
Great cider! We were served by young gentleman Corbin who was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He made our evening!
Amazing! First, such friendly, courteous, attentive server. And then so many cider varieties- I chose a flight. To munch on, Garlic cheese curds so good we decided to stay for dinner. My apricot Brie grilled chicken sandwich on Ciabetta very flavorful. I chose the side salad which was great too! Love the local art work hanging in the dining room. Entirely experience was great and I bought a 6 pack of Snow Devil cider upon departing. I only wish I had room to try a dessert.
Went in to ask about having a rehearsal dinner event, but also to have lunch. After a brief in passing conversation with the event coordinator we received the impression that they weren’t interested in providing that service. Then after waiting in front of the “please wait to be seated sign”, and being walked past by several servers, one of the waitresses came over to help the people behind us. The people behind us politely gestured the server to help us first to which she said we’d already been helped. We told her we had not been helped, but she could seat the people behind us if she would seat us at a table. She said she would ask about the table we requested, then never came back. Not sure where the miscommunication was, but the staff could have cared less that we were there.
Amazing food! The wagyu burger is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had (cooked medium rare, which was perfect). Tots were crispy, fry sauce was good! The cider flight was fun to try several of the options. Overall, would highly recommend this place.

Lovely spot for a drink and dinner!
FANTASTIC food and cider.
First clue should have been they are not dog friendly because it’s an “active” farm (presumably so are wineries…). Decided to give it a try nonetheless. On arrival, a server showed us to a table that was super close to another table where another couple was seated, although there were many other options which would have promoted a less intrusive experience (for us and for the other couple). We asked to be seated somewhere else, which very clearly irritated the server. We were then greeted by a different server, who also seemed generally irritated to be serving us - hard to put a finger on it, just generally kind of unfriendly and annoyed. We considered leaving at that point, but decided to try the cider and food. The flatbread we ordered was delicious (which accounts for the stars I gave), but the cider was meh. Not bad, but nothing special in our opinion. Overall, not a great experience and wouldn’t go back.
By far my favorite place to eat in Kalispell! The staff is the best, food is incredible, ownership is top tier, and all around the best cider!
Come for the cider, avoid the food. Had 2 flights of cider and everything was atleast good to great. Wife and I ordered burgers, both were over cooked. (Med rare came out med well). I asked for the bbq sauce on the side, it came on the burger. My wife ordered the waygu burger with horseradish sauce. The kitchen was out of horseradish sauce so they just sent the overcooked burger without saying anything abour the missing sauce. Our kids chicken strip were cooked to the point of being drink coasters. At the end they said they comp'd my wife burger, but all they did was take 2 dollars off the meal.
